Lame pterodactyl

An amazing thing, each time, the regime manages to pass the continuation of stagnation for a new revolutionary stage, with the onset of which stunning successes and achievements of the previous stage are finally converted into victory over the planet, and America will become a gold fish on the parcels, and I personally know people who really wait for this. You can laugh for a long time and stubbornly at the secular religion of Putinism, but in this case another is more interesting. That the ever -increasing permuneness of the ruler did not make his position more stable.

On the contrary, he seemed more stable, being a chick. When he reached his first presidential term, after which the second loomed hypothetically (!). Then, after the second, as you know, there was a “castling”, when the ruler, in order to observe the appearance of the rule of law, had to go into the shadows, not releasing the reins of government. However, Gleb Pavlovsky, “his man at the court, claims that it was at this time that the threat of the palace coup sowed fear in it, which suggested not to risk it anymore. It was supposedly even such a period of about six months, when members of the great and touching tandem did not talk to each other, sulked around the offices, and the “Medvedevites” walked lower by Gogols, expecting “the West will help us”.

(However, it is not clear whether we can trust this testimony, because the first thing the shiftman did was to rewrote the constitution under Putin, mechanically lengthening the authority of “following next.”)

The further humiliation of Medvedev, the moral defeat of the “Medvedevites” and the third term of Putin were accompanied by the expectation of a probable fourth term and the universal conviction that Putinists would never give power. But the transit problem was not resolved, but even more exposed and was presented to society unusually acute, because “not to give power” will have to be in any case, going to extreme measures that launch the mechanisms of political instability. In other words, you will have to catch the enemies of the people, as in the 37th, and punish for insufficient enthusiasm for the wisdom of the supreme ayatolla, which led to sanctions and isolation of the country, as in Iran.

The fourth term at the same time put an end to the discussion about democratic rotation (it, obviously, will not!), And turned Putin from the very beginning, if not “into the lame duck”, then at least in lame pterodactyl. Since there is objective knowledge that came with the experience that all the good even ends even with pterodactyls (at least with the onset of Alzheimer), which will accompany and crush it all the next six years (and a half President Trump). At the same time, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov (for some reason, did not surprise anyone in the structure of the Russian authorities) did not find anything better, as not hesitating to introduce a bill on three consecutive periods. Well, a person thinks about it all the time and as a real man - does ...

It is clear that if he had been accepted, then by one and a half Trump Putin, another and a half of Trump would have been legally added, that is, there would be three Trump periods. What, again, Trump would have been upset just right and would not have upset, but would not bring Putin happiness and would make Putin physically eternal.

“We’ll make a reservation right away, today it is quite pointless to predict how exactly the problem-2024 will be solved, since it is most likely that Vladimir Putin himself does not have a final solution. At the same time, the clock mechanism leading to this decision has already been launched. And this is the main intrigue, ”Kirill Rogov (and he is not the only one) in the balllet of the Carnegie Foundation foggy . Which means only one thing - with a game of eternity, Putin is more and more limping. He practically does not walk on both legs.

This reminded me of one fairy tale read in childhood.

A person dreamed of eternal life, and somehow a certain magical sage promised him to him. In general, the wizard placed him in a beautiful valley, surrounded by high mountains, - a kind of Sannikov’s land - live and rejoice, indulge in thoughts. Exotic birds sang there, environmentally friendly springs beat, mineral streams flowed, and so God continued how long.

And then one day (and this happens once every thousand years) the sky unprecedentedly darkened and the terrible dragon flew in, everyone was scared, but did not do anything particularly bad. I just took only one small sandstone and flew away. And our hero here realized that sooner or later this dragon would drag all these mountains from here, and then all the streams will dry out, and the birds will die.

As everything in the fairy tale ended there, I do not remember. Either our hero fell into black depression, abandoning eternity, or grabbing the wizard by the throat, as if not providing the promised, or went crazy ...

Or something else ...

In any case, we have to finish the final.
