In the Kremlin

Without brakes

May 5, 2008 Alexander Golts

Recently, I am increasingly remembering the same episode from my favorite childhood film "Adjutant of his Excellency." The young officer from the white counterintelligence joyfully reports to the many -handed boss that he knocked out the necessary confessions from the suspect. And he hears in response from the colonel tired of the blood: "I doubt, the second lieutenant, whether you had a mother ..."

It is this hunting to say about the latter inventures of Kremlin political technologists. Yesterday, the “Local” movement held the “Two Victories” campaign. In the center of the capital, the young obtules pulled ropes and fought on pillows in honor of two wonderful events - the anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War and the election of Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev by the President of the Russian Federation. No, I'm not joking or exaggerating. In all seriousness, they equated the tragedy and a feat to the vulgar electoral farce in the history of mankind. Here's what is written on the official website of this, God forgive me, the youth movement: “The second victory is May 7. On this day, the heirs of the winners in the Great Patriotic War proved that they also know how to win, including on the internal front. Despite the croaking of the Voronya both inside the country and beyond, Russia was able to adequately and solidly choose a new Duma and, most importantly, the new president. Without revolutions and shocks. Without those nightmares who prophesied our homegrown amazers. ”

I remember how my bosses, who won the whole war in reconnaissance, snorted into a fist when the “Truthful Leonid Ilyich” allowed to hang himself another front -line award, which could not even be dreamed of as the head of the political department. But he, nevertheless, was under fire and under the bombing. And, secondly, all of them, front-line soldiers, in the most bad dream could not have occurred to a comparison of the war, which was the main event of their life, with the next political campaign. All of them, from the Secretary General of the Secretary General who had already fallen into the insanity, understood the difference, felt with the skin.

There was enough moral feeling. These "local", like their Kremlin curators, who provided them yesterday for the Games Slavic Square and Lubyanka. They don’t care that victory in the Second World War (as they call that war on their website) that Medvedev’s victory. The second Victoria, perhaps, will even be abruptly - after all, the grandmas are unfastened for her.

Probably one of the most vile features of the Putin regime - everything that he touches is turned into a loot or into a tool for political technologists. There is nothing saint here. Victory? Victory will also fit. Let us recall how three years ago they introduced martial law in Moscow, did not let the vetera meet at the Bolshoi Theater. Then the chief chief of the country decided to talk against the backdrop of veterans with the leaders of other powers. Why be surprised that now dexterous guys decided to take advantage of the Victory Day as a reason to lick. Alexander Golts
