Troll games

Trolling in modern Russian politics is a widespread phenomenon. Multi -vector, expressed by scientific language. The opposition is a troll the power, the authorities are mocking the disagreements, everyone blows and reins in each other, and this endless process somehow brightens the hardships of unlucky life together.

In fact, sometimes funny incidents happen.

The Foreign Agent Bastrykin, entangled in the NATO web in his small -sized Prague apartment, - you see, is ridiculous. On the other hand, the phrase “go to court”, which alternately pronounces the highest authorities in response to any accusations and complaints, is generally Hochma for a decade. Both the first Putin decade and the second. And all the laws of recent times, starting with the same NPOs and ending with the protection of the rights of believers from the propaganda of non -traditional sexual relations among children, from the same mocking series.

Or here is the recent performance by Ramzan Kadyrov in LiveJournal, addressed, as you can understand, to professional Russians, who were very excited after a well -known tragic incident in Pugachev. “And we came up with us ...” - the Chechen leader told the Russians, telling how the local authorities fighting Vietnamese migrants. Some even have to expel "to their homeland along the route: Grozny - Moscow - Hanoi." But the gypsies have already coped, the gypsy problem has been completely solved, Ramzan boasted. Such is his answer to Russian nationalists. The answer, which seems especially eloquent, if we recall that there are practically no Russians in the republic.

At the level of world diplomacy, trolling is much more rare. Even unique, since this is about affairs much more serious than the relationship of the national leader with banderlogs. However, since the unusual passenger landed at Sheremetyevo Airport, trolling has become the main stylistic technique in communication between Russia with America.

The President of the Russian Federation personally deigns to joke personally.

From the very beginning of the scandal, he states that he is ready to provide the passenger asylum in Russia only on an indispensable condition: if he stops damage to our American partners. Putin in the role of the CIA defender is already cool, but you have not yet listened to the joke to the end. Poor Snowden promises to improve, but Vladimir Vladimirovich is adamant: he told us "no." The joke is successful: Obama personally calls Putin, some quick-tempered American senator offers to boycott the Olympics in Sochi, equating Snowden to the invasion of the Soviet troops into Afghanistan, and the Russian president expresses everything about America's interests. It already comes to the point that the simple -minded old man Limonov accuses Putin of treason, and he all ends with Obama. Directly regretting the fate of a prisoner of conscience, who would have already left Russia for a long time, but the trouble is: he does not have a passport, the Americans took it away, and there is nowhere to fly. They can intercept.

What can I say, Snowden's escape is a gift from America personally to President Putin. The gift is clearly undeserved, but very expensive. It is a sin not to take advantage of, and Vladimir Vladimirovich sincerely mocks the "partner". I would even say, in a hurry to mock, because such luck - America in the role of a jerk and an electronic gendarme, and Russia in the role of a defender of a dissident and a truth -seeker - falls rarely. You won’t remember right away when it fell last time.

The trouble with Vladimir Vladimirovich, however, lies in the fact that, like many Hokhmachi, he does not know how to stop in time. The listeners already laughed, smiled crookedly, prayed, sighed, and he was joking. Until suddenly he himself becomes ridiculous.

Yesterday, inspecting the Eastern Military District for every fire occasion, he again spoke about Snowden. And, clearly carried away, he suddenly stated that "interstate relations ... are much more important than squabbles around the activities of special services", and some agencies reported that these "squabbles" Putin called "dirty". In the lips of the Colonel of the FSB, a Chekist by nature and vocation, who remained in the Kremlin, the phrase sounded, as it were, ambiguously. Even treacherously in relation to your favorite office.

And then, wanting to enjoy America, Vladimir Vladimirovich completely liberated and spoke about human rights activities. “When such an activity takes place under the auspices of the United States,” he said, “with their support for financial and information political support, this is a fairly comfortable activity. And if someone is going to criticize the United States themselves, then this is, of course, more difficult ...”

This is also called: Hittle. It is clear who the president had in mind, who began his career in the KGB with anti -detissionian actions, and later heated the current human rights defenders. However, if he remembered at least the fate of Anna Politkovskaya, Stanislav Markelov, Natalia Estemirova, people really known in the West and killed in Putin's Russia, it might have doubted the “comfort” of human rights work. I did not doubt it. I did not remember. Even that the death of Politkovskaya caused him much more trouble than her articles.

You can like it. About the forgetfulness of the president in relation to his own citizens. And about the uniformity of his jokes. The jokes generally ended, and this applies not only to the tragicomic figure of Edward Snowden, but also by Russian-American relations in general. For the scandal takes already serious forms, and if Putin is really preoccupied with their condition, then it is time to finish with trolling.
