In the Kremlin

Trinal heap

September 22, 2009 Alexander Ryklin

Before the presidential elections in Russia, there are still long crisis years, and the head office of Vladislav Surkov, coupled with various subsidiaries, has already dumped the first portion of his pre -election political technological product before us. Now Vladislav Yuryevich, armed with a magnifying glass and tweezers, will observe - with a sense of deep satisfaction or with an expression of disgust and disgust on the face - how we will advance in all this. Whether we will not slip, we will not stumble at what layer it will smear along the asphalt, whether there will be a characteristic squish ...

Then the clerks will write certificates, then Vladislav Yuryevich will study these certificates and give birth to the concept “2012”. Then he will go to ask for financing under the only true and only victorious concept. And, undoubtedly, he will receive it. Then Vladislav Yuryevich will begin to spend money ... Many and many millions of dollars will go to the further and final stabilization of the Russian political system. And yet, of course, for something ... Ah, this endless beautiful cycle of beautiful concepts and big money, big money and beautiful concepts ...

So, Igor Jurgens, the head of the Incor, the subsidiary of the Kremlin structure, whose guardian council is headed by Dmitry Medvedev, made a thunderous sensational statement. In an interview with Reuters, the Vice President of the RSPP directly and unequivocally spoke out for the “open, transparent competition between Putin and Medvedev” in 2012. Moreover, he made it clear to which he, Jurgens, would be a side. According to the colleague and younger partner Vladislav Surkov, if Putin once again becomes the president of the Russian Federation, he risks becoming a fading leader in the style of Leonid Brezhnev. Moreover, Mr. Jurgens believes, I quote on the “Vedomosti”, “that now in Russia there is a“ clash of interests ”of conservative-state-owners (he calls Putin's supporters) and liberals (supporters of Medvedev), whose balance he appreciated 70 to 30. He echoes his friend and comrade-in-arms, a prominent InSorovsky functionary Evgeny Gontmany, who is struck by his courage The boss, arguing that “Jurgens expressed not only a personal opinion, but also the position of some part of the elite: to a lesser extent - bureaucracy, to a larger way - business and expert community. Jurgens expressed their aspirations that even politicians from the “right -hand business” are not dared to declare.

What do we have? Incor, having drawn the name of Dmitry Medvedev on his banners, rushed into a frontal attack on the guarantor of political stability, the leader of United Russia, a jack with which the country rose from the knees and whose drawn rating is still higher than the drawn rating of Medvedev? What remains for us? We, it seems, is also liberals and do not want more nasty security forces. So we get up shoulder to the shoulder behind Jurgens with Gontmacher and go to smash the hated Carthage?

A second, but just a few days ago (not months, not years!), The same Evgeny Gontmamer on the pages of the same “Vedomosti” assured us that the modernization of the country was possible only with the hands of the “charismatic leader”. And he did not mean Dmitry Medvedev at all, but, you will laugh, just Vladimir Putin! It was on this national leader that Gontmamer proposed to rely on the struggle for the democratic values ​​and the bright future of our Motherland. So who is crazy in this ward?

Calm, citizens are no crazy. What we encountered today is the usual Surkovskaya “wiring”, implicated on the already fed but still working myth about “bad security forces” and “good liberals” in the highest echelons of the Russian authorities. Say, the second of the last forces confront the first, but, poor fellow, they lose all the time. However, these losses, according to some amazing coincidence, do not affect their position inside the power system-the liberals retain profitable and influential posts, key ministries trust them, huge money is allocated to their projects, their offices are placed in cozy mansions in the center of Moscow, etc.

The current liberals under the authorities have long been - not accomplices of the current regime. They are his indispensable intellectual support, his backbone carrier ridge. They do not wait for “dark times” in the silence of scientific offices, they tear their share of oil and gas rent with their teeth. And they pay for it not only by loyalty and expert competence, but also by participating in this kind of propaganda campaigns. The goal of which, by and large, is one - how to confuse our head. To appear in the eyes of the interested public with such uncompromising fighters for liberal values. Because only such a reputation retains interest in them from the Kremlin grantors. There is no reputation - there is no contract. Therefore, today they are for Medvedev, tomorrow for Putin, the day after tomorrow for the line of bald. If only we bought on their pseudoliberal trendy. The main thing is that the interviews are authorized, all statements are approved, the strategy is approved.

And in parallel, Vladislav Yuryevich Surkov will measure our reaction. And on the basis of their measurements, draw conclusions, build a concept. The concept of our further fusion with you.

So let's not step into this heap at all. Let's get around it. Let's make our own plans for 2012.
