The frame for show
The sensational article by Vladislav Surkov consists of several parts, and something Russian is glorified in each of them. For example, the "deep" our people seeing Putin. For example, a deep -sea Putin, who is now forever, for he sees Russians "through." For example, Putin's regime. However, this regime, unlike the electorate and its supreme diver, does not hide anything inside itself. He is all outward, and "the most brutal structures of his power frame go directly along the facade, not covered with any architectural excesses."
The first two theses do not need comments. Since, in essence, to hokhmas and jokes are reduced. About the unfortunate confused population sitting in a deep ass, from where it is not easy to get out. And about Ivan the Terrible, the inventor of the X -ray ("I, the bastard, see you, I see! .."). Akhineya with elements of mysticism and a taste of Russophobia is more likely to mix than scares. On the contrary, the assistant to the president describes the device of the punitive system with merciless frankness and awareness of the true expert.
The assistant to this machine for swallowing people, human rights and freedoms directly admires, justifying the police officer with the huge expanses of the Fatherland and the need to "hold" them. This is a completely intelligible ideology, which he justifies the mass executions of the long -past centuries, and the Stalin Gulag, and the current praise investigation, and constantly updated laws focused on suppression and prohibitions. It is in the hypocritical West that the instruments of violence are draped, and ours almost always lay out for show. “They are traditionally not hidden, but rather demonstrated,” the surkits rejoice, and this is pure truth. Here is the law, here is the prosecutor, here is the verdict, for the first time, let's say, a giant fine, but the catalazh.
The triumphal procession of prohibitive laws, as well as all sorts of monotonous news about searches, interrogations, arrests, domestic arrests - that is clear confirmation. This is really a tradition, with specific additions at the present stage, because before there was no Internet with inherent fake news and disrespect for the establishment, and that for the purpose of state security, Runet should become sovereign, even Lavrenty Palych was not aware. Nevertheless, the trend can be traced, and it can also be added that the woeful memory of past repressions and fear that has rooted in generations help the tops successfully terrorize Russians. Both deep and those who stick out.
Well, the diagnosis of the latest legal norms, amending today's day, is not secret. If the deputies vote for total control of Internet traffic , it means that the leadership is preparing for war and global blocking of seditious sites. If the people's deputies offer in the second reading 20 times to tighten monetary sanctions for reproach on the network of those in power and the distribution of "obviously inaccurate" information, then, apparently, several tasks are solved here.
First of all, purely economic, that is, the filling of the treasury. The funds that will fill it after a pension robbery and raising taxes are clearly not enough for high -quality strengthening of special services, the army and navy, which is why the authorities could not stand before the temptation to demand an addition from the people. And the prospects are revealing tempting, as in those fabulous times when the “counter -revolutionary actions” or “slanderous fabrications that defeat the Soviet state and social system” were interpreted widely and was no longer narrowed. In addition to the economy, there is a policy. The population is mobilized in the face of impudent external and internal enemies; Some while we are screaming mainly verbally, others, on the contrary, are punished with a ruble for words. Finally, escalating fears is also useful. For after the adoption of bills, any irritable citizen will think ten times before sharing his suffered opinion about Senator Klishas. Not to mention Vladimir Vladimirovich, who is its weight in gold, and now it will still become a source of budget revenues.
In short, “Putin’s large political machine only gains momentum and sets up for a long, difficult and interesting work,” as shelters with sniper accuracy formulations. By the way, what was the most curious thing, it seemed recently that this car would fail. Indeed, against the “sovereign Runet”, as well as punishment for false fabrications and slander on Klishas, they performed in the Prosecutor General, and in Roskomnadzor, and the Ministry of Communications. And during an expanded meeting of the Duma specialized committee on information policy, legislators were given a uniform defeat and they almost left the meeting in tears. But in the Kremlin they wiped their tears, on those who did not immediately understand that the car had already drove, dug up, and the discussions were completed.
At the same time, perhaps, you can stop the disputes about the career fate of Vladislav Yuryevich - the disputes are purely theoretical, because it makes no difference to us what awaits him and why he writes his articles. For the soul, in order to stay in the chair, or because he dreams of new ranks. We agree that these fortune -telling are meaningless, and Surkova still needs to read. Former Demiurge and a real philosopher, he is still in demand, and his basic divinations come true, as soon as he will only have time to do something. Not all, of course, but if it is thoroughly delved into the pile of the journalistic creativity that he leaves behind, you will definitely find a pearl grain. And inevitably, you will admire how huge it is and how sparkles among the snowdrifts, camp towers, wrapped in barbed wire of boundless spaces.
