Adam Mikhnik made tactlessness. According to him, the meeting of the members of the Valdai club took place normally - until the moment until the Polish guest asked about Khodorkovsky. And here, as the editor -in -chief of the "Vypers of Vybes" said, the premiere was as if replaced. Putin experienced a “personal emotion” and in a sharp tone spoke about the former head of “Yukos” “as a killer, a bandit”.
It was in August, and in December last year, the same Putin spoke about the same Khodorkovsky in more detail - and also in a rather emotional manner. “Nobody remembers, unfortunately,” he was sad during the television “direct line”, “that one of the leaders of the Security Service of the Yukos company is in places of imprisonment. What do you think that he acted ... at his own fear and risk? .. There are only five proven murders.”
By the way, in the logic, Vladimir Vladimirovich cannot be refused. Indeed, it is unlikely that Alexei Pichugin, who is now serving a life imprisonment, would, on his own initiative, organize crimes that are incriminated to him. And if so, it seems to be clear why the prime minister brings his cheekbones at the mention of the ex-Oligarch. Khodorkovsky has “blood on the hands”, and famous Russian and Western citizens stand up for him. Such injustice.
There is another version of current events. Alexey Pichugin did not admit guilt. The accusations against him were based exclusively on indirect evidence, and one of the key witnesses of the prosecutors was a kind of barn, sentenced to life for rape and murder of minors. The former FSB officer Pichugin was offered a deal: testimonies against Khodorkovsky in exchange for significant mitigation of guilt, he did not go to this. Meanwhile, it was with the arrest of Pichugin that the defeat of the "Yukos" began. And if he is innocent, then ...
Further on this subject to think is just scary. And not only about the fate of Pichugin, but about Putin's speeches. About how he ordered all these cases, destroying the enemy with his company. About how Yukos conveyed to the further plunder of those roots that he calls the "state". And about how feeling he plays his monospasies. About the "proven five killings" - on the big stage, recruiting in passing the multimillion -dollar audience. And on a small stage, in front of the members of the Valdai club, imitating righteous anger on a tactless mikhnik. In the thriller genre with a sad end, in which the main criminal remains unpunished, since he serves as a national leader in a rather large country.
All this is recalled again today, when lawyers and the unfinished liberal public are painfully trying to understand that for the third prosecution the prosecutors promise to present Khodorkovsky and Lebedev. Yes, this is probably gathering: the accusation of "proven murders." And it is almost not connected with the verdict, which the judge Danilkin should soon be announced. This is kept in reserve, as if in a secret that Vladimir Vladimirovich from time to time, from time to time. All preoccupied foreigners and fellow citizens, among whom the one whom he chose by the president is especially standing out in his eyes. To remember.
However, a truly cool thriller should end differently. Having survived different things that an ordinary person is not able to survive, good heroes are released, and bad, with a bruise on a cheekbone, but in an impeccable costume he will grimly listen to a well -deserved sentence. Or am I confusing a thriller with a police drama? Yes, the thriller ends tougher, but the good still wins. In any case, I want to believe that a merciful director, and not a crazy sadist, shoots a movie about us. And if the script is hopeless, then the finale will be changed. And even the scriptwriter.
