In the opposition

Persuade Putin

June 4, 2010 Vladimir Nadein

Yuri Shevchuk performed sharply. Oleg Basilashvili also performed very sharply. Leah Akhedzhakova wanted to perform even sharper, but said nothing, did not express in the eyes of V.V. Putin everything that was sore. For which a day later, she was very stained.

She scolded herself in vain. Or, in any case, not for that.

For a week now, the whole country has been buzzing what Yuri Shevchuk said. And he said ... However, it is better than quotes here, they are always more honest.

“The first is freedom. The word is. The freedom of the press, the freedom of information, because what is happening in the country is now is an estate country, a millennial. There are princes and boyars with flashing lights, there is a dragging people. The abyss is huge. ”

“The only way out is that everyone is equal before the law: both boyars and a dragging people. So that the miners do not go into the slaughter, like penalty battalions. So that it is all humanly so that the personality in the country is free, self-respecting. ”

“We need freedom of the press, because it is not there now. There are one and a half newspapers and half a television. In fact, what we see by the “box” is not even a polemic, these are the same marches and hymns. ”

“Do you think will happen, do you have a really serious, sincere, honest liberalization, democratization of a real country in your plans? So that public organizations are not strangled, so that we cease to be afraid of a policeman on the street. Because the policeman now serves the authorities and his pocket, not the people. In general, we have a lot of repressive organs. ”

Are there too many quotes for one note? Maybe. But I all like them so much that I would hang them everywhere in huge color letters and repeated by heart and sleeping, and to the future sleep. Oleg Basilashvili also boldly said about freedom. “Regarding the construction of this skyscraper. I do not presume to judge whether he is handsome or not beautiful - this is not my business ... It’s not even this “gas scrap” ... The federal law, urban law is registered - all norms are impudently violated, and they laugh in the face. And we have the feeling that power, or who is up there, wants to say that guys, laws are written for you, go to the swamp, and we do what we want. ”

What was the creative super -task of these talented and noble people? They wanted to persuade Putin. Gathering for this meeting with the unconditional head of present -day Russia, they have repeatedly spoken to themselves the words that would say, the arguments that would bring. They discarded the dubious, refused the extremes, looked for balance between sincerity and respect. The arguments, the justice of which seemed obvious to them, who spoke to O. Basilashvili and Yu. Shevchuk, as well as the silent L. Akhedzhakov, hoped to convince Putin of the need to conduct urgent and decisive changes in the country.

In response, V. Putin was very harshly, very imperiously and adamantly julled, dodged and simply lied. Well, in his familiar manner. I have never said about freedom and democracy without "but." He is about Thomas - he is about Yerma. For some reason, he dragged coking and energy coals, in which he was also confused. The president of the maximum term, the eight -year guarantor of the Constitution, twice solemnly, with a huge gathering of the noble people, swore to observe and protect it, Putin perverted and raped the basic law without hesitation.

All this looked disgusting enough, but the main question is different: could Putin afford to speak differently? Or, translating the question into a different plane, is it possible to persuade Putin to “sincere and honest liberalization” at all?

This issue is not only interested in the artistic community. Not so long ago, a report of the Institute of Modern Development (Incor) was published. This institution is considered the intellectual backup of D. Medvedev. The report justified the categorical need for real democracy for Russia's survival. Who can the country rely on so as not to fall into tartarar? Here are the words of Evgeny Gontmamer, one of the three main authors of the report: “We understand that the process of democratic modernization should start through purely authoritarian levers. Two people have all the full power in the country-the current president and Prime Minister. And it is on them that historical responsibility for the fate of Russia for many decades ahead lies. ”

We will make a crushing amendment: these people are still not two. The claims of the current president for the full power are very doubtful. Only V.V. possesses all the full power in Russia. Putin. Only this statement can be considered unconditionally true. And if we attach to him the thesis of E. Gontmamer, then it is on him, V.V. Putin, a recent lieutenant colonel and “Ovklub”, lies historical responsibility for the fate of Russia for many decades ahead.

For many decades - we, our children, our grandchildren. Perhaps he will hook the great -grandchildren. Do they need it?

Today Russia (we will use the opinion of Yu. Shevchuk again) - the country is gloomy, corrupt, totalitarian, authoritarian, with one party. Who created it? Personally V.V. Putin. For what? To establish a regime of personal power. What will happen if it becomes “bright, democratic, where everyone is really equal before the law”? The regime of personal power will fall. Possible options? No.

And what will happen to V.V. Putin? What will happen to his friends? What will happen to his money? And most importantly: what will become with the skeletons, which in such an abundance are asleep in its strictly classified closet? We do not know what is the role of V. Putin in the case of submariners, hopelessly knocking on the sides of Kursk. It is unclear who ordered to hush the investigation of Hexogen in Ryazan. The pitch darkness around Putin's manipulations with elections and money for parties. The drive mechanism from Putin to the shameful judgment of Lebedev and Khodorkovsky is not probed. It is unknown who was the true Fuhrer of the mysterious one -day “Baikalfinance group”.

All this is only a small part from that crowd of skeletons that directly march into the criminal court, if and when the regime of personal power falls. But, besides the criminal, there are terrible mistakes. Recently, experts calculated that over the past ten years, only a third of what Putin promised to do was carried out. Even such experienced Putin associates as Gref and Kudrin admitted in the failure of the plans. The latter recently said: “We did not draw a line of responsibility of the authorities. As a result, until the first person turns on, nothing will happen. ”

Speaking of the first person, Kudrin, you understand, had in mind not President Medvedev. But these are trifles. The main thing: until Putin turns on, nothing will happen.

With his answers, the stars of pop and cinema, the National Leader clearly showed: will not wait. He does not intend to turn on just so that nothing happens. He clearly outlined, to what limit he was ready to endure democracy in Russia: “If I see that people went out not only to“ cure ”and prompting themselves, but they say something sensible, concrete, some pain points that the authorities should pay attention to-what is bad here?!”

“If I see” - this is the legal foundation of Putin's democracy. If I decide that you are “specifically”, “practically”, “for some pain points”-then “what's wrong with”. And if I do not see, do not blame me. On that is the riot police.

This is not the first time Russia was in such a “twine” when it hurts to sit, but to get up - there is no strength. Who only and as soon as he did not persuade Emperor Nicholas the Second to look into the eyes of the truth. The tsar was pleased with the tsar. He was frightened by the revolution by radiant brothers and sisters. My mother’s mother warned with letters from Kyiv and conversations on the eye of the eye. Lenins sleep with the revolution, but the kings give birth to it.

In vain, the clever of Leah Akhedzhakova laments his silence. There is no eloquence in the world that would include Putin to political suicide. It is not so difficult to imagine that an angry actress from the mouth of the national leader would have heard. A couple of phrases about energy coals. A couple more links to London and Paris where things are, imagine where it is as worse.

Pushkinskoye “kings with a smile to tell the truth” is quite natural for the monarchist, which was the great poet. If Y. Shevchuk sees in Putin the anointed of God, then his monologues are evidence of heroism and courage. But if the singer, as he subsequently claimed, considers V. Putin the usual bureaucrat of the highest rank, then angry monologues can be reserved for a normal performance at the collection of a normal opposition party.

And to Putin as a Creator one of the most cynical despots of the 21st century, it is better not to walk. That is what Lyudmila Ulitskaya and Dmitry Bykov did at one time. They were called to Putin, but they simply did not come. A little less PR - but how much more honor. And there is nothing to reproach yourself.
