Purga - Kremlin territory

President Putin almost never praises Dmitry Peskov. Probably for considerations of secrecy, since then the secret of their tandem protected by the state may be revealed. It turns out, for example, why Vladimir Vladimirovich still needs a person who explains to the public the official point of view of the Kremlin. Although Dmitry Sergeyevich has repeatedly said that he was not needed, because his chief himself was his own president, and spokeswoman, and a navigator, and a carpenter.

There are confirmations. Peskov, as a rule, knows nothing, and Putin always knows everything. Peskov usually evades answers to questions, bringing to the gathered that the problems raised are outside the sphere of his competence, and there are no unsolvable problems for Putin. However, it also happened that the spokeswoman suddenly dared to speak unsatuently, and then he was honored from the authorities of not praise, but reproachful. Say, Peskov carries a blizzard , why does he tell there and who entrusted him with this? At such a moment, it even seemed that Dmitry Sergeyevich would soon be unclenched, but time passed and nothing changed in his career fate.

So yesterday there was such a case. Culture figures turned to the president with a request to have mercy on the starving Oleg Sentsov. The guarantor has not yet responded, but the press secretary came to the journalists and reacted with unexpected clarity to the petition. As for the letter, he said both for himself and for Putin that they "saw him in the press." And on the merits of the case, he informed that "the public resonance cannot in any way affect, of course, to the decision of the court of the Russian Federation that has entered into force, these are completely different dimensions." Having added that "for pardon, a procedure is provided, which is initiated by the convict himself", and this sounded as a sentence. Directed by the sand, which was contrary to his usual image of the official of a careful, ignorant, low -communal one.

It is clear that if we had a powerful civil society, then the resonance from his speeches would be different, and the highest leadership had to reckon with him, not to mention the power authorities. Here, Dmitry Sergeyevich, freely or involuntarily, blabbed that society in Russia is crushed by the authorities, which is why the war, and Sentsov sits, and other Ukrainian hostages, and the authorities do not give a damn about all sorts of open letters in their protection. As for the pardon, according to the law, convicts are not required to initiate or sign these papers. In short, it seemed that Peskov again suffered a blizzard, upsetting the cartridge, and he would criticize him again.

It seems that the impression is false.

Firstly, this time the spokeswoman said nothing beyond what previously set out his cartridge: about the courts in the affairs of which the guarantor of the type does not interfere, and about the pardon. Secondly, to indicate their place under the sun with unprofitable citizens is useful today for the Kremlin, because Peskov answers the signathers so soon and with such rigidity. Thirdly, the hostage system in relations with the West and with Ukraine has long been built, debugged and successfully operated, and not then created it in order to enter into dialogue with Norstein, Sokurov and Khamatova about Sentsov.

Vice versa. Similar letters, like oral speeches, are able to cause only irritation among Vladimir Vladimirovich. Patiently expecting the end of the mundial, he is already with his thoughts and dreams to his future, as in the days of the Sochi Olympiad, and the intelligentsia confuses under his feet, lying in his feet, interferes with his move. He, perhaps, bending over the map with the generals, thinks where to introduce troops tomorrow, where to bomb, who to bother, and they climb with his mercy, which, you see, is higher than justice .

All this is hardly incomprehensible, but his smart press secretary guesses. Or, according to the president, is in a hurry to answer the questions posed. Sign, they say, in receipt, gentlemen, directors and artists, Vladimir Pozner and Ksenia Sobchak.

It is possible that this duty is noted in the service instructions of Peskov with a separate line: from time to time to carry the blizzard. Sometimes it’s completely unbearable, as in the interview, where he hinted at Putin’s secret meetings with Poroshenko, either in Moscow, or in Kyiv, and then refuted this amazing sensation. The meaning, probably, was also found in it, if we assume that in this way the Kremlin wanted to attach a little to the respected partner Peter Alekseevich, discrediting him in the eyes of Ukrainian voters. And in the plot with Oleg Sentsov, everything is generally transparent. The hunger strike continues, along with it, a scandal, which cannot be drowned out by thousands of football fans, and sands go to microphones.

By the way, this must be the main secret of their tandem: the president with his spokesman. Actually, both of Putin are a professional skill, and Peskov is allowed to carry it when the chef is very busy and it would be necessary to marked his opinion. In public, Vladimir Vladimirovich Dmitry Sergeyevich is publicly for conspiracy, but in fact a press secretary, I want to believe, not surrounded by rewards and is not offended. Because with his work, which consists in the constant clarification of the Kremlin’s policy or silence about the particularly subtle nuances of this policy, copes excellently and in every turn there is a share of his public service, his active complicity.
