And the year did not have passed how Vladimir Putin left the post of President of the Russian Federation. However, Russian and other elites are increasingly trying to make it clear to the ex-president that he is no longer the owner of the Kremlin and the country as a whole.
The obvious example is the Eurovision Song Contest, which this year will be held, as you know, in Moscow. Everyone knows how Putin relates to Ukraine, the Ukrainian language, as well as Georgia and Georgians. Nevertheless, the show business lobby managed to make a representative of Russia at Eurovision a Ukrainian citizen, performing a competitive song in a Ukrainian (!) Language, and its producer is Georgian. And the structures of the executive and other authorities did nothing to neutralize this direct challenge to the “national leader”. The new president of the country seems to have decided to act differently.
According to the Russian Newsweek magazine, on Friday night, March 13, 2009, Dmitry Medvedev signed a secret decree, according to which it is strictly forbidden to inform the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin O: a) the fact of holding the Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow; b) a participant in the competition formally representing the Russian Federation; c) the results of Eurovision -2009. The text of the decree was personally prepared by the First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Vladislav Surkov. More precisely, the first version of this confidential document was compiled by the head of the Kremlin administration, Sergei Naryshkin, however, as a weak leader, he lost paper with text, rolling on mountain skis in St. Motzer (Switzerland). After that, Medvedev handed over all the threads for managing the process to the hands of Surkov. In accordance with a decree, a notarized copy of which is at the disposal of the Russian Newsweek, the department of the President of the Russian Federation, together with the Federal Security Service (FSO) of the Russian Federation, was entrusted to the Eurovision final in Moscow, to ensure the viewing of the Primary of the Russian Federation of the Special Civil Bloches of the First Channel, which translates the Patriotic blockbuster “The best film-2”, as well as the supply The premiere of sedatives necessary and sufficient for timely retreat to sleep. A source close to Vladislav Surkov said that the entire infrastructure of the implementation of such a political scenario was prepared in full. However, it cannot be excluded that the power circles close to Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin will try to disrupt the script and organize an alternative broadcast of Eurovision in Putin Novo-Ogarsa in residence with the aim of kicked a wedge between the prime minister and the president. What the heart will calm down on is not clear.
But Eurovision is also, as they say, flowers. The notorious berries will bloom with magnificent color on April 2. After all, it was on this day that the Government of the Russian Federation in the State Duma was appointed.
For the vast majority of experts and analysts, it was and remains obvious that the best day of the government report would be, of course, on April 1 (first). On this day, Vladimir Putin would have felt as relaxed as possible, and the federal government he head would have the widest space for political and ribbon maneuver. In particular, the prime minister could boldly, not at risk of being accused of incompetence or insufficient sincerity, to promise deputies and all the people of the Russian Federation that the most screaming crisis phenomena will be overcome by the end of this year, and inflation will not exceed 13-14%. The performance on April 2 will connect the prime minister on the hands and feet of a significant amount of serious excess obligations - both political and moral. After all, the report of Vladimir Putin in the walls of the State Duma will, unfortunately, will be taken seriously - both the egregious majority of the Russian population and the international community.
Undoubtedly, and in a situation of report on April 2, you can save the reputation of the government and the individual of its head. Specialists of the State University "Higher School of Economics" are already given the answer to the question of how to make the peak of the crisis really passed by the end of this year. Scientists offer to increase the duration of the current year from 12 to 24 months. Moreover, the months from the 13th to the 24th should be named after the largest socially responsible corporations that will make appropriate property and non-property contributions to the National Welfare Fund (FNB) of the Russian Federation. For example, the 13th month can be called Bazel, the 14th-Lukoil, the 15th-metalinvest, etc. At the same time, in order to maintain social stability and the civilian world, it is necessary to ensure a full-fledged celebration in the second half of the “double” year of popularly beloved holidays: the 1st and 13th Bazel, the 23rd Lukoil, the 8th Metal Invest, etc.
The task of keeping inflation at the level promised by the prime minister is also solved. Specialists of the Public Anti -Crisis In memory of K. W. Chernenko offer the following way out: on the night of December 31, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation can smoothly and controlled the percentage of the 1st Bazel of 2009. Raising his course, for example, from 1/100 to 1/64 (a chess decision, as many political observers and commentators say!). In this case, the government forecast for inflation may ultimately be confirmed or at least not to deviate from the installation value too much.
Against the backdrop of the difficulties that Prime Minister Putin will experience on April 2 and after him, Dmitry Medvedev, defiantly winning, is defiantly win. Which exactly on April 1 will hold a program meeting with his American colleague Barack Obama. According to the New Times magazine, the Kremlin liberals have already prepared a sensational constructive statement for the president, which he will open a meeting with the owner of the White House: “Your whole face is white!”
Further, without being distracted by the splash, which is expected to make this statement, Medvedev will make two more sensational messages: about the radical modernization of the Russian army in the period after 2011 and the need to introduce a new world reserve currency to ensure the preservation of savings of citizens. There is no doubt that all three statements will be in the focus of the attention of the world media, replacing the ambiguous report of Vladimir Putin in the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation to the second and third plan.
On the one hand, the political and technological meaning of the minimization of public attention to the report of the Government of the Russian Federation is understandable. But, on the other hand, the prime minister’s performance on April 2 carries in itself unprognized political risks. It should still be thought about the most complete and effective use of the socio-political potential of such a date as April 1. For example, you can turn 01.04. In the “Unified Politen”, when the authorities of different levels will explain their actions to society and report to both parliamentarians and the population. In particular, in the morning (for breakfast), the president of the country could announce his message to the Federal Assembly, at lunchtime, the Chairman of the Government, and in the afternoon, would be read out by the heads of the main federal departments and governors of system -forming regions (using the system of video blogs).
Moreover. It should be noted that the sacred-historical potential of the date “April 1” remains clearly underestimated. It is known that the people 01.04. It is called "Fool's Day." In the context of a large-scale financial and economic crisis that came to us from the United States, the very concept of “fool” acquires a special meaning. Let's turn to our mythology. A fool is not just a unique national archetype, an exclusive contribution that Russia made to a world ethical-aesthetic treasury. A fool is, if you carefully think about it, and there is the same national leader that can withdraw the country out of the crisis contrary to any rational considerations and material obstacles. It is no coincidence that in system -forming legends that are largely rated by our national mentality, a fool is usually written with the title letter and most often identified as Ivan a fool - the bearer of the most typical Russian name.
Here's what the influential information and analytical publication “Wikipedia” reports about Ivan the fool:
Ivan a fool , or Ivanushka-Durachka is one of the main prototypical characters of Russian fairy tales. According to some versions, the name Ivan a fool is a name-unit that prevents the evil eye. It embodies a special fabulous strategy, out of the standard postulates of a practical mind, based on the search for its own solutions, often contradicting common sense, but, ultimately, bringing success.
Ivan the fool in the family was often the third, youngest son. Often not married.
With the help of magical means and especially thanks to his “out of mind,” Ivan the fool successfully passes through all the trials and reaches the highest values: he defeats the enemy, marries the royal daughter, receives wealth and fame ... Perhaps Ivan the fool reaches all this due to the fact that he embodies the first (according to J. Dumesil) a magico-legal function, associated not so much with deed, as much priestly duties. Ivan the fool is the only of the brothers who speak in a fairy tale. Ivan a fool makes and guesses riddles, that is, he does what the priest is doing in many traditions during a ritual dedicated to the main annual holiday. Ivan a fool is a poet and a musician; In fairy tales, his singing is emphasized, his ability to play on a wonderful pipe or gusli-samuads, forcing to dance the herd. Ivan a fool is a carrier of a special speech, in which, in addition to riddles, jokes, jokes, fragments are marked, where either phonetic or semantic principles of ordinary speech, or even something resembling a non -uml are violated; Compare the “nonsense”, “absurdities”, linguistic paradoxes based, in particular, in the game of homonymy and synonymy, multi -digitality and multi -references of the word, etc. (so, the murder of the snake with a spear Ivan the fool describes as a meeting with evil, which he was evil, “evil from evil has died”). Ivan the fool is connected in the plot with a certain critical situation, a complete holiday (victory over the enemy and marriage), in which he is the main participant.
From the given text it is clear how effective our sacred fool can be both in overcoming the psycho -economic crisis, and in the formation of the correct socio -emotional anti -crisis guidelines in the population of the Russian Federation. The construction of the main anti -crisis discourse based on and with the help of a metapolitical gestalt a fool requires, in turn, a significant review - in the direction of increasing - the status of a fool’s day, i.e. April 1. This day should become the main state holiday of the Russian Federation.
Today, in a crisis, we have the right to honestly recognize: on November 4, it did not take place as the main nationwide holiday, legitimizing modern Russian statehood. The people of the Russian Federation for the most part did not accept the idea, according to which it was 04.11. We kicked some Poles from the Kremlin from the Kremlin. In the public field on November 4, it is associated mainly with the so -called “Russian march”, which is under the control of ultraradic nationalists and in no way contributes to the general consolidation of Russians based on confidence in the current Russian authorities.
There is no doubt that on April 1, a clear signal of consolidation all citizens of the Russian Federation can just send, regardless of their social views, ethnic origin, confessional affiliation, sexual orientation, etc. It is only necessary very carefully, taking into account certain errors and flaws of the past, to approach the development of the political and symbolic series related to the new main nationwide holiday, which will indicate the basis of the foundations of modern Russian statehood and sovereign democracy as a form of organization of Russian political space. The leading information and analytical centers, cooperating with the administration of the President of the Russian Federation, should already today, without delay, engage in the development of a system of meanings of a fool and images of these meanings. The leading film artists who previously gravitates to understand the genesis, gnosis and phase of the modern statehood of the Russian Federation - including N. S. Mikhalkov, V. I. Khotinenko, A.O. Balabanov - could concentrate on the development of cinematographic measurement of the fool and the day of the fool. The visual image (photobot) of a fool could be formed based on the results of a nationwide vote within the framework of the Russian Russia project on the RTR channel. Probably, it is necessary to immediately move on to the development of a project for the construction of a fool’s memorial, as well as announce a competition for the best project of the monument to a fool who should be established, finally, on Lubyanskaya Square in Moscow.
The famous American (so happened) writer Mark Twain said: "The first of April is the day when we remember who we are during the rest of 364 days a year." This means that on the day of the fool a person most acutely feels his cultural and civilizational affiliation, so to speak, it is reaching the external departments of his main analyzers to archetypes on which the national soul is based. That is why a fool’s day can truly become a central nationwide triumph - a holiday that we had so lacking all the years of the formation of the “Putin majority”.
The famous Russian political scientist I. A. Krylov wrote: "The sovereign fool is more dangerous than the enemy." What does this mystical phrase mean? Let's think about it. The main enemy of Russia since the XII century has been the United States. (Although, recently, data that indicated that Rurik, Truvor and Sineus also received funding from certain “non -profit” funds close to the American State Department). And since the sovereign fool is more dangerous than the enemy, which means that he is more dangerous than the United States. Therefore, only a fool (with a capital letter) can resist the rough American hegemony in a rapidly changing world.
The implantation of the figure of a fool in Russian politics will allow the people of the Russian Federation a strategically verified and tactically defined answer to the question when the crisis ends: “When the fool whistles!”. In anticipation of this sacred whistle, the people of the Russian Federation will live their brightest and most patient years.
I ask you to consider.
