Medication of justification

Ilya Milstein, 12/19/2014

All the same bear. All the same Lermontov calls to die near Moscow. All the same Americans who torture prisoners fly over us while we are weak, and expand to the east. All the same Putin, and you should turn off the TV, but the questions are sometimes much more interesting than answers, and the plot is a little delay.

In addition, this is still a new play. At least in new decorations, among which you can see light shows in exchangers and on the exchanges where oil is quoted. In short, Vladimir Putin for the first time conducted his collective recruitment session in an economic disaster and cold war. In that unprecedented, over all 15 years of his reign of the situation, which he created himself, bringing the country to the heads of his compatriots.

That is why familiar images, poems and prosaic passages were enriched with fresh quotes.

A formidable bear from an old monologue began to drive pigs in the taiga, eat berries and a honey, and it ended badly for him. Evil people put Mishka on a chain, pulled him claws and teeth, and then completely filled a stuffed animal out of him. A Jewish Jewish, I wanted to add, but Vladimir Vladimirovich narrated about something else. The fact that economic disaster and cold war is an inevitable consequence of confrontation with the enemy environment. Otherwise, it would be even worse.

About the poet Lermontov, we learned that he wrote not only patriotic poems. “Farewell,” Putin recited, “unwashed Russia,” answering the question of whom he had in mind by “national predators” and why he strengthened hostility and split in society. It turned out that you can be a patriot and think about the beauty of nails, saying goodbye to your homeland. That is, in words to love the country with strange love, but in fact go under the bullets "for the interests of Russia", as the speaker put it. Somewhere here, a “very thin line” was held here between the opposition and the fifth column. Lermontov appeared in the image of Strelkov.

True, it remained incomprehensible why the poet was arrested then, sent to the Caucasus to the army, and the king commented on his death in the spirit that the dog was dog death. However, Putin found the historical justification of all this dialectics in the new film by Mikhalkov, where “Lermontov,“ Brave officers ... brought the matter to the logical conclusion - to the revolution, ”and“ later the revolutionaries drowned them ”. So in the end, we again came to the conclusion that Mikhail Yuryevich with his verses harmed Russia more than served, the example of true service is Nikita Sergeyevich. In a word, economic disaster and cold war are an inevitable consequence of confrontation with the enemy environment. Otherwise, it will be even worse.

Yes, and Crimea has nothing to do with it, and in this vein, the President of the Russian Federation spoke out twice and developed a topic for a long time, answering various questions. Presenting a list of crimes of the Americans and their minions and bending their fingers. There were “support of terrorism in the North Caucasus”, and “attempts to discredit” the Sochi Olympics, and our attempts on our lands (it did not mean the Chinese), and “dug up” by Mexico Texas under the fifth occupiers, and “American bases around the light”, and the Pentagon budget, and, finally, sanctions. That is, an economic catastrophe and the Cold War ... Well, you understand.

Squeezing noticeably, Putin convinced the audience that the cart in our relationship with the West always stood ahead of the horse and the economic disaster was programmed, regardless of the actions of the Kremlin in Ukraine. Total loneliness and collapse of the ruble - all this was inevitable. During his long press conference, Vladimir Vladimirovich inspired himself and gathered that he was not guilty of anything. And this image of aggressively justifying Putin was also new. It was worth looking.

Actually, because he was so willing to talk about politics, about the that hesitated all the bear and about the unfortunate Lermontov, and he himself gave the floor to foreigners and oppositional Russians that he did not want to talk about the economy at all. There is nothing to regret, the government and the Central Bank are doing what they can (and in essence can almost nothing), the “rebound in the plus” is inevitable, and when - God is the news, well, two years old ... that's all he could say.

In a situation where panic is growing daily, Western companies are suspended or turning a business in Russia, and in the provinces, money is already being completed in ATMs and crowds of discouraged citizens are storming the departments of Sberbank, Putin’s promises sounded like a mission - and he, perhaps, guessed about it. However, the role is hardened for life, and on the stage, wide opening his hands, as if wanting to calm and rob the audience at the same time, old Putin was sitting among the new decorations.

He habitually lied, claiming that the Russian court is able to establish the guilt or innocence of Nadezhda Savchenko, Oleg Sentsov and other Ukrainian captives . That among the Russian citizens warring in the Donbass, continuous volunteers who "do not receive money for this." That Igor Sechin is an “effective manager”, and the size of his salary to the president is unknown, as well as his own. It was quite difficult to listen to all this and very boring as any hardened lie, besides quite predictable. And boredom was habitually united with pain, because it turned out that Putin’s compromises did not intend to go to compromise and would not let his prisoners go.

Something human in the sense of self -esteem flashed in his speeches only once. When he was asked about his personal life and he told the case. “To me, my one friend from Europe, a big boss, somehow recently after the events of the last year says:“ Listen, do you have love? ”I say:“ In what sense? ”-“ Well, do you love someone? ”I say:“ Well, “yes,“ do anyone love you? ”I say:“ Yes, ”he probably decided that I was completely brutalized.” A playing actor suddenly saw himself from the side, by foreign foreign eyes and even laughed at himself. As if guessing what people think about him. But it was a minute state, and crawled into his hole again, distinguished by a bear skin.
