After the third Putin

March 18, 2009 Vladimir Nadein

Strong and forth article Denis Dragunsky makes a strong impression. It’s even scary to touch. The warning is always smart. Cassandra is not about to be optimistic. The prediction of even sobering those who are not drunk. And then some shout: Down, they say, Putin! And then?

Thinking?

Among the many answers that Denis Dragunsky gives to this and other burning questions, I still did not find one. That is, I realized that it was best - this is Putin after Putin. And then? Putin again? And after "Putin" again? And after three times Putin? Nobody at all?

The fact, however, is that Russia will be certain after Putin. At least so, at least a kind. There was still no such rain that someday would not end. Since our leader himself excluded for himself the possibility of democratic, that is, clearly predictable circumstances of his departure from power, they remained only ... Here he was drawn to write: “unpredictable”, but this is just wrong. Power is too ancient to invent innovations. Everything was already. If there are no free elections, then the God -like leaders are in view of the clearly counted number of reasons. It is or an old woman with a scythe (Louis XIV, Brezhnev, Mao). Or - a bloody conspiracy (Nero, Chausko). Or - external exposure (Hitler, Paul sweat). Or - the rebellion of yesterday's Kholuev (Nicholas II, Khrushchev). Total - four reasons. Only four. All the rest are options.

As a categorical opponent of bloody violence, I do not wish Putin any physical injuries. Of course, I do not dispose of fate. But I have copyright to choose only humane outcomes for consideration. There are two of them. Natural death on the and father of the nation. And a surprise of cursed friends, about which Julius Caesar, already with a sword in his stomach, exclaimed in surprise: “And you, Brutus!”, And Khrushchev put it about the same, only unprintable.

When (and if) Putin is cast off, then his nominees will do it. There is no one else. Simple mortals cannot be reached before him. Yes, and there are no them among billionaires who have just fallen into miserable multimillionaires. “Due to the initial collapse of the Russian exchange market from May to October last year,” writes New York Times, “the 25 richest Russian from (list) Forbes magazine lost, according to Bloomberg News, together, together 250 billion dollars.” (Andrew E.Kramer, The Last Days of the Oligarchs ?, 08.03.09).

Here you can see that most of these fireworks previously became the beams of fate precisely thanks to Putin. Why and attacked against the benefactor they are not with their hands. Conscience, they say, will torture.

Well, about the conscience of the good Samaritans from the Forbes list-this is somehow later. As for gratitude, then the principle of healthy digestion reigns: the belly is a villain, yesterday’s good does not remember. And one more important circumstance. The watchful Putin would surely clean up any troubles ahead of time, but here's the trouble: not only he, but they themselves, the future Kremlin brots, until they know how they will break through. It’s like after a pea: he flows everyone, and when and with whom the embarrassment will happen - it is completely unpredictable.

It is on these anxieties that Denis Dragunsky responds, as it were, sobering maxims: “If V. Putin suddenly leaves his post and becomes a private person, then nothing will change in the structure and functioning of the regime.” And further: “Hundreds will remain in power, if not thousands, people from his team, who occupy key positions in the center and regions, in politics and business. Related to each other with a dense network of mutual obligations and sympathy. Classmates, colleagues, fellow countrymen, business partners and relatives. ”

From this the reader must draw two conclusions. Firstly, you can’t seize the butt with a whip. And, secondly, if you are frightened with a fright, you will still get a hell, which is not sweeter. And all this is served as an institutional feature, a kind of unique highlight of the Putin regime.

Alas, it does not smell like a random here. All described is the banality of any of the dictatorships. For a very long time, a quarter of a century before Ivan the Terrible reigned in Moscow, the Florentine political scientist Machiavelli noted that the liberated society “immediately gains a party of its enemies, but not a party of friends. The batch of enemies is formed by those who are beneficial to the tyrannical order, which enjoyed the generosity of the sovereign. Deprived of opportunities for profit, they live in discontent and are forced to strive to restore tyranny in order to regain power. ” And a little further: “The liberated state does not acquire a batch of friends, since freedom demands that honor and rewards be given for any merits. Without them, no one can be honored with honor or awards. When someone was awarded by deservedly, he is obliged not to the state that awarded him, but to himself. In addition, the advantages that freedom bring are not noticed by anyone while they are. ”

If the fears of Dragunsky were justified, there would not be a single democratic regime on the planet today. No one would disturb the bad out of fear to get the worst. Moreover, any dictatorship seeks to leave behind a scorched political bonfire, on which no longer grows up for many years. Dictators permeate the history of mankind. Among them is not one who would not consider themselves indispensable. And not a single one who would be shy by any means to drive into all brains: our leader is indispensable! This simple, thousand -pure lies of lies were blinded even by the clever of Dragunsky: “The best Kukish that Putin could show his opponents was to resign. Without political statements. For personal circumstances. So, they say, and so, I decided to devote the coming years to the family. ”

We will lift this cuckoo. Let's see that inside. Well, how is it with the family - it’s not our mind. Another thing is important to us: control over security forces and television - where is this? In a cukch or behind the bosom? If the resignation is not a trick, not a public inflation, then the retired should prepare for answers to a thousand vile questions. Like, where did the Ryazan Hexogen go? Where did the ordinary businessman Lugovoi get Plutonium? Who was actually a mediocre commander of Drama on Dubrovka? Before presenting the long -awaited Kukish to society, one should think that these questions can ask not only a talker from the television screen, but also a prosecutor who is not appointed Putin and not obliged to Putin. And after the protocol, the prosecutor will not take under the visor, but in custody.

The goal of all dictators, no matter how many of them have been since the cave times, is to give out their personal stench for the spirit of history. To do this, they used batons around the fire and riot police batons, shamans clicks and television divas sobs. Dragunsky did not save. “At the same time, he is silently implied,” he bitterly ironizes, “that there is someone very large, incredibly strong and extremely noble, which ... will make the following: a) will send Putin and his government to resign; b) will form the technical government; C) will convene a round table of political parties; d) according to the results of the agreements reached at this round table, will correct the electoral legislation and hold new elections; E) Based on the results of the elections, a new government will appoint. Do not forget about one more point: this mighty good knight (f) will provide quiet and surface for the entire time of the round table, preparation and conduct new elections. It will ensure that hundreds and even thousands of people from the team of the settled prime minister will wait quietly while the participants in the round table decide their fate. ”

I apologize for a long quote, but in it is an exact list of changes that are not only necessary, but also quite real. Real and "someone." He is truly very strong and extremely noble. The name is the people of Russia. He, without a doubt, can fulfill everything that is described above. It has enough mind and strength to build a warm and kind house - your own for yourself. Moreover, there is no one in the world who, except for the people of Russia, could have wanted to do this business. The Russian people have a difficult share, it still has a lot of darkness and prejudices - but show me a nation without its demoniacs and morons?

Obviously, Dragunsky feels that the matter is not only behind the people, but also the leaders of change. Here, they say, what is the main shortage. Well, we don’t have Obama. And Margaret Thatcher is not. “Obviously,” the author of the relaxing irony is again amenable, “only the Lord can become the guarantor of the listed transformations.”

Against the Lord, I have nothing. Luck is not in the detriment of any business. But so far there is no need to climb so high. But we have personalities worse than Obama and even more rusty than an iron lady. For examples, it’s very close to go. Before our eyes, Harry Kimovich Kasparov.

Funny, huh? And you will extinguish a smile. Let us compare it, poisoned not only by the unbelted power, but also to all the vile, that over the gloomy century has accumulated in our souls, with those who even such glorious people as Denis Dragu, reluctantly, consider it indispensable.

Here is one - and here is the other.

When one was the famous world champion, the other was - a gray plug from the Gader Province. When the name of one knew every intelligent man of the planet, the other was Who is Mister Putin? The life of one passed in front of everyone, with young nails to this day. The biography of another is woven from various shreds, with failures and holes, with discrepancies in places and dates. One is a brilliant speaker, a magnificent publicist, a resourceful and logically impeccable polemic master. The other speaks of a mixture of bureaucratic jargon and thieves Feni. When grabbed by the hand, he lies in the back, such as "I could not get through to the prosecutor." One is rich, but can report for every penny of its millions. Another, even with colossal Kremlin feeding, cannot explain where he has a whole bag of luxurious, breathtakingly expensive hours. One is fearless, despite the real threats. The other is hiding behind the forever grinned guard. One pays from his pocket for the honor of standing for the democracy of Russia. The other shows generosity, only taking.

Personally, I am convinced that our country should be happy that it has its own Harry Kimovich Kasparov. Compare it with those who are considered to be successful first -born of democracies. With the first president of the Czech Republic - playwright Vaclav Gavel. With the first president of New Poland - electrician Lech Valensa. Yes, do you not see how much our Kasparov, well, is at least not inferior to them? Or do you think that our country is so much idiotic that it does not distinguish, where is good, and where is evil? Yes, two or three are free, accessible to all discussions on TV-and only the dust will go from the Kukish, which, in fact, was and is-a fist with a gabash braid.

And the last. We turn to pure logic. If today, after the first Putin decade, Russia, “hundreds, if not thousands of people from his team, who occupy key positions in the center and regions,” can imagine how much they will have a number and roots after the fifth Putin? How much more difficult it will be uprooted by these "classmates, colleagues, countrymen"?

It is not good to shift to our children what we must do to us. Russia will still live after Putin - only after the fifth it will be worse.
