This already becomes a tradition: on the second of August in a row, Boris Berezovsky is engaged in party -standing. A year ago, the “bear” created - aka “unity” - was called upon to overcome the Primakov -Luzhkovsky Governor's Blok OVR. And the movement coped with the task. Now Berezovsky states that “unity” cannot become “long -playing political force”, and launches a new project.

Last Wednesday, Boris Berezovsky announced the creation of a socio-political movement, claiming the role of a constructive opposition. And on the eve of the press, an open letter of nine activists - politicians and cultural figures - very decisively hitting power was published: “The main achievements of the last decade are threatened: free press, free entrepreneurship, and most importantly - free thinking, the spirit of independence. The reasons for this state of affairs lie in the fact that in the reforms of the last ten years the main attention was paid to the economy, while the priorities, while the priorities Moral ideology and political philosophy have faded to the background. "

However, in his oral speeches, Boris Abramovich as an informal leader of the new movement does not dare to go into discussion about the high and leaning on catchy stamps: "The constructive opposition is necessary for the authorities itself, although it interferes with it. But the lack of opposition destroys power."
Future opponents and potential competitors of the new party, who has not yet had even a name, reacted to the venture of the former deputy with a fair skepticism.

A year ago, too, few believed that the "bear" would receive a majority in the new Duma, and the Berezovsky project - "Putin - our president" - will be crowned with success.

Nevertheless, the similarity of the two undertaking Boris Abramovich is only external. In fact, they vary. Last August, Berezovsky created a party in power, and not the opposition, albeit constructive, even if he talked with the president about the need to exist. And besides, in the new project, Boris Abramovich intends to reserve the functions of not only the producer, but also the main role - the public policy of the national level. Professional propagandists have long established a pattern: an attempt to act as an image maker of himself and create a concept to promote himself a beloved is obviously doomed to failure. The rule is universal and almost no exceptions.
