The results of the week. Defense of Moscow

April 16, 2010 Alexander Ryklin

It is already clear that Yuri Luzhkov is just like that a city, once presented on a saucer of a kind spouse, will not give up - it will fight to the last cartridge. And the cartridges will end, the cap will tear from the head and rush into his last hand -to -hand combat. To which, I must say, some of his subordinates have not disdained for a long time. So, last Wednesday, the head of the Moscow district of Schukino, Alexander Zyatkovsky, attacked the film crew of the Ren TV channel, which arrived at the meeting place of this high -ranking district official with residents of the subordinate territory. Mr. Zyatkovsky perceived the prospect of his appearance on the television screen exclusively nervously, if not-painfully and tried to kick out annoying journalists out the door. Sorry, under the ass, as Komsomolskaya Pravda writes, not only a television journalist, but also a local resident who accidentally turned up under his leg.

But these are, so to speak, battles of a district scale. But the scandals launched by the leadership of the capital with the Public Chamber and with the Federation Council are already being drawn to the Premier League. The first happened after the hearing dedicated to the General Plan of the development of Moscow, the famous galleryman-pool-stroke and member of the Public Chamber Marat Gelman said: “For us, the center of Moscow is valuable in itself, and for Luzhkov it is only a vegetable bed, with which he harvests.”

The mayor, of course, was offended and nervous. He was offended, since he was not harvested from these beds alone, but he was nervous, because sharp words did not sound from the lips, say, an informal Nemtsov, but from the lips of a quite formal member of the Helmann. That is, Luzhkov suspected that the Galerist’s trick is part of the conspiracy that his ill -wishers weaves against the mayor. But in the presidential administration, which, in fact, is responsible for the conspiracy against Luzhkov, they assured that the galleryist had nothing to do with the Demarsh. That he himself acted. (It is possible, by the way, that they lied.) And even for the greater persuasiveness, they called Helman himself and carried out explanatory work with him. (Or solemnly handed a reward weapon - we didn’t know how.) However, be that as it may, now the Moscow City Duma in the person of her speaker Platonov loudly stated that she would not go to any contacts with the Public Chamber. Never. At least before representatives of this important organization do not bring public apology. They brought. But these apologies were arrogantly rejected. Either it seemed not too public, or not too sincere. Now they are waiting for others. The Public Chamber is confused and only on April 28 it will finally determine the format of a new conciliatory message to the Moscow authorities.

The second front of Luzhkov in the outgoing week is the Federation Council. Yes, not just the Federation Council, but his direct speaker Sergey Mironov, who, back in February, while in Yekaterinburg, said that “the Moscow authorities free the territory on the site of the“ river ”for other objects” ... (I wonder if there is at least one person who believes otherwise?) Now the Moscow City Duma and the City Hall are threatening to sue the speaker and have already given appropriate instructions to their legal departments.

But Sergey Mironov, I’ll tell you, this is not Marat Gelman. He will not run to the presidential administration for the instructions. And the Moscow authorities from the Federation Council will not wait for any apology. But Mironov, as they say, does not live on the cloud. That is, he perfectly understands - today you can kick Luzhkov. It is possible, since this no longer causes irritation in the first person. And if so, then why don't it?

I am far from the idea that Sergei Mironov knows the exact date of dismissal of Yuri Luzhkov. It is possible that it has not yet been defined. I am not even sure that in the current situation, the authorities will decide on such a egregious demarche - the dismissal of Luzhkov. But in any case, I wish Yuri Mikhailovich resistance and courage. Since there is no doubt that the fierce struggle for the life of the Moscow mayor will give us a lot of marvelous plots and, undoubtedly, will stir up the swamp of the Russian political space. In a word, there will be something to talk about ...

By the way, the stubborn attempts of our city old old man to decorate the capital by the Victory Day by the faces of the Great Hormic one acquire a symbolic meaning. Luzhkov will be able to crank this venture, which means that early the mayor is to write off on the apiary, which means that the smoking room is still alive.
