Rumor Ivanovs

In terms of political science of terrorism, only the saying of Mr. Ivanov, Minister of Defense, will be mentioned. “The explosion at the Riga station is, unfortunately, not the first and, I am afraid, not the last attack. In essence, we have been declared a war where the enemy is not visible and there is no front line,” Sergey Ivanov said ... According to him, one of the effective forms of fighting terrorism is the vigilance of the population, “the cessation of universal prosperity and reassurance” .

Since we have been having a long time, and the war has just been stated, it means that prosperity and reassurance will soon be stopped officially.

Outside of this topic, the main ones were elected affairs. On Tuesday, the CEC adopted as the basis for further progress the analytical note "On the practice of holding federal elections, elections to state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in 2002-2004 and proposals to change and supplement certain provisions of the legislation of the Russian Federation on elections and referendums." Now two months of discussion ("popular"), parliamentary hearings and the law by the end of the year should follow. Here, the most interesting frame in which the discussion will pass. It, accordingly, is organized by both the document itself and the responses to it.

The details of the notes were reduced by Gazeta.ru (Maria Tsvetkova, " Elections in the Soviet Union ", August 31).

"Here are the key offers of the CEC:

1. The elections to the Duma must be completely held according to party lists, that is, on a proportional basis. At the same time, in the elections to the legislative assemblies of the constituent entities of the Federation, the current mixed majority-proportional system should be preserved.

2. A 7-percent passing barrier to the Duma for parties should remain unchanged that at least four political parties and electoral blocs should be represented in the lower house of the Federal Assembly.

3. Participation in the Duma elections of party blocks is proposed to cancel.

4. Independent candidates will be able to take part in the elections to the Duma in the regions (how this item is combined with their exceptional partyability - no one has yet understood. - "Gazeta.ru").

5. A single date for holding all elections in the country, except for the Duma, is introduced - this is the first Sunday of March ...

6. When forming party lists of candidates for State Duma deputies, a quota of 30% for women should be provided in party lists.

7. In the federal party list, it is proposed to leave only three candidates instead of 8 candidates. "

The frame in which this topic is placed looks more emotional than sane.

“The CEC in places offered a complete nonsense,” the professional lawyer, secretary for the legislative work of the ATP party Boris Nadezhdin (Elena Rudneva, “ offered a complete nonsense ”, on August 31), in an interview with Gazeta.Ru, reacted to the analytical note of the Central Election Commission.

I remember, Mr. Gaidai, pushing the "diamond hand", pressed a small atomic explosion at the very end of the film, artistically motivating it with some kind of non-juracy. Everyone, of course, stood on its hind legs; As a result, Gaidai agreed to cut off a stupid explosion, but other nuances were completely smooth, like anti -Soviet songs about hares and grass, as well as about those born on Monday.

This quota is so ridiculous that its role is about the same. It seems that in the document there is something still funny, but not yet discovered. In addition, the topic of the Law on proportionals is not so much political (with the exception of the decision itself) as arithmetic. The law should have many arithmetic chips, despite the fact that the principles of vote distribution are not presented in the quoted document. In addition - the regional design is extremely unintelligible. The presentation of the details of the problem can be found in the article “ Electoral System: What do we want to reform? ” (Boris Makarenko, “Political”, August 31).

In general, there is a technological question: for what purpose is the reform carried out? There are some common considerations, but they are very vague, but what is primary? Here Ukrainians painted their reform, not yet adopted to the end, specifically: the redistribution of authority from the president to the parliament; In the package with this idea, a proportional law was adopted, and also on the president. It is clear there - they rebuild power, reducing the level of authoritarianism. What is there? The preamble of the document refers to the generalization of selective experience and adjustment, but the transition to a proportional system does not look at all.

It is interesting, over, the point on the mandatory representation in the Duma of at least four parties, which implies the primacy of the standard. Kondovoy: If everyone except one batch receives one and a half to two percent, three of them will go to the Duma, being a multi-party. Which will be the development of the party system on reasonable, good and eternal foundations.

In general, everything is simple: what frame will be set, the discussion will pass in that frame. And it is really interesting that the meaning of the actions taken is not open. And since it is not, then how to understand that there, in the document, the main one, and what is the turnover?

For example, "Gazeta.ru" took a comment from Alexander Ivanchenko - under Yeltsin he headed the CEC, and now he leads an independent institution of elections (in the same " Elections in the Soviet Union ", the interview is filed to the text):

"- Alexander Vladimirovich, how will the introduction of a proportional election system for the alignment of forces in the State Duma affect?

- The parties had this idea for a long time. In principle, at different stages, the Communists supported it, always supported the LDPR, ATP and Yabloko. But in the current conditions, when United Russia formed a qualified majority contrary to the results of the will of voters in December, I think the attitude of parties should change ... In the context of actually developing monopartics, this is consolidated the status quus of a single-party system. In an extreme case, one can expect a one and a half-party system or a unit with a quarter, which can act as a satellite parties that have been borne from the same United Russia, especially since all these proposals have already been voiced. "

Let us pay attention: they ask about how "how to affect", and not at all "what all this is about." Ivanchenko explained what ( "at the new stage is the consolidation of monopartics" ), but go understand whether the CEC actually had in mind, but he was shy to say. Or is he at all about making Putin the prime minister? But then you need to start not with proportionals, but with the Constitution about the government.

So even Zyuganov became considerable as the APN: he suggests that the analytical note is only the first part of "a certain plan to build a new power system in the country ... I fully admit that the idea of ​​turning Russia from a presidential to a parliamentary republic is recovered in the highest spheres." The morality is the same, just mentioned: this will be solved by the problem with the constitutional restriction on the election of the same citizen by the president no more than two times in a row.

But good: analytical notes have finally established the main texts in the Russian Federation. And one more thing: a change in the election law began after previous elections, in the footsteps of events. Obviously starting from the precedent - all experts seem to agree with this - and without referring to some proactive views into the future.

And then, a similar project of the Committee 2008 turned out to be nearby: “ Committee-2008” requires the cancellation of elections to the State Duma ”(“ Grani.ru ”, August 31): “ Next week, a lawsuit will be sent to the Supreme Court of Russia with a claim to cancel the results of the State Duma elections consisted in December 2003. Such a decision was made at a meeting of the “Committee-2008 Committee: Free choice“ Late on Monday evening ” .

That is - some fix the result, others require it to refute it. And all this happens a year after the event. And in its pure form, the Zone “On Eternal” was represented by the labor of “NG” ” in Russia, a Soviet -type power pyramid is chosen in Russia” (Sergey Shapoval, an interview with Olga Krystanovskaya, August 31), from which it is clear that eternity in Russian circumstances is always clear with whom.

“Today there was a massive parish of the Ivanovs to power. There were never so many people with the surname Ivanov! .. Yes, it looks symbolic. Ivanovs are the most massive Russian surname. These are people like everyone else, and they are certainly Russians. If you want, Ivanovs are a symbol of“ Russianness ”. The coming of them is not always accidental ... All these will become the fact that Russia will become a parliamentary republic. Perhaps the president will be elected that such a popularly elected President will become a weak figure.

And more about eternity. In the observed period, the composition of the political science resources of the RU zone was replenished by the New Politics site, published by the center of the same name. The site is simple, the authors are carefully celebrated on topics that have circulation in space. Obviously, on the subject of publicity there, a “ rating of socio -humanitarian thinkers ” was presented there from the publication of which “RG”, “Polit.ru” and “Forecast” consistently refused. But the “new politicians” put - with enthusiasm and the announcement: “Intellectual Russia: Rating of socio -humanitarian thinkers. 100 leading positions. Year 2004” is a study that the Intel group conducted in order to fill the existing gap in the assessment of leading Russian intellectuals. In their own expression initiators of the study, they conducted "monitoring strategic meaning and design analytics through the rating of the socio -humanitarian thinkers of Russia."

Thus, "Novopol" showed himself, where he will now go from this story. And about a group of comrades who drew this, there is nothing to say, and everything is written on the site. But here: even such freedom -loving individuals as socio -Gumanists, it turns out, it turns out, ordering and as a result - at least some of their vertical.

Of course, it would be necessary to make a list of 100 of the right intellectual boys - to offer someone to make a vote of thousands to three positions, evaluating each P.I.P. In about five parameters: sincere, artistic performance, all -human and the like. And what will become with the attendance of the site that is implementing such a project? ..

Meanwhile, all this, meanwhile, continues the story about the new language of the description of political science. This language, tending to the translation of everything into some kitschy symbolism, also includes the commentary of the Grani.ru: “The initiative of the Committee 2008” is like a gunframe over the battlefield, where the looters are already operating. This salvo will not particularly frighten anyone and the outcome of the battle will not change, but this encouraging sign for those who have not yet raised their hands. ” This is about the idea of ​​recognizing the elections a year ago invalid.

In total, personal experiences set forth in the bad language intend to become this very description. The problem is this: all this is so sticky that for a long time. And then to say: who, in fact, is sent complaints of individual representatives of the Russian intelligentsia?

But real humanitarian technologies made themselves felt. G. Zyuganov, " Once again about" party literature "(Pravda-Info, August 25):

"During the post -eccentric discussions, we talk a lot about the new methods of political struggle, about the new opposition language. About the vivid imagery through which our ideals, goals and objectives can be expressed. More than ever, we are aware of the need for close interaction between art and politics. Why is this process so important today? The rough bureaucratic language, the language of postulates, simply did not convey the wealth of the ideas of the ideas of those The meanings that must be conveyed to the consciousness of the masses.

Considering that, according to the Law on proportionals, Zyuganov may have problems (he himself said), people of humanitarian labor can be encouraged: the fact of entering the Duma is directly associated with the language characteristics of party activity. As I write, it will be so.
