Crisis for personalities

The main thing that the participants of the Russian-Ukrainian negotiations that took place on Thursday in Kyiv are asking today: was there a bruise on the cheek of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin or not? And was the tall guest carefully made up during meetings with President Viktor Yanukovych and Prime Minister Nikolai Azarov, or just now he has such an complexion?

However, these questions are unnecessary. Photos widespread, by the way, not by anyone, but by the press service of the President of Ukraine, give both the presence of bruises and the presence of makeup. Another question is - what is so special about this? Is the Russian Prime Minister a marble statue? Could he not fall, damage his face during sports training, unsuccessfully trying to get rid of acne on the main face of the state? Yes, you never know what causes of a bruise are. You, reader, know for sure the reasons for each defect on his face? And wouldn't they want to hide the flaws of appearance before television cameras?

But the charm of Russian politics is that even a nonsense bruise turns into an occasion for gossip. Not because the bruise is important, but because it cannot be by definition. The press secretary of the head of government says that it was so fallen by light - and misled the journalists. We emphasize immediately: Ukrainian journalists and a special correspondent of Kommersant who joined them - because no one else noticed.

Of course, they will immediately ask me: why write about such trifles at all? But the matter is not in the bruise, but just in his absence! I always think - have all these people really did not read in childhood an underwear fairy tale about the king who tried on a non -existent dress in front of the amazed, but ready to praise a new outfit with subjects. Do not remember how the king himself, and subjects, and even the cunning tailors who sold his majesty were funny in this situation. Because everything was scattered overnight from only a boyish cry - the child returned to reality a whole nation with a voluntarily restrained mind. Who prevented the prime minister’s press service simply not to notice the discussion about the bruise? Or, in the end, to explain its appearance by training in judo, diving in the pool - in a word, it is not for me to teach adults how to explain the appearance of a bruise.

So no! Even in such nonsense hold us for idiots. Firstly, one cannot believe your own eyes, and secondly, the one who noticed the bruise, instead of noticing the impressive results of the Russian-Ukrainian dialogue, is the enemy of Russia, the Ukrainian nationalist, and a bastard generally. Not a bastard sees only what is ordered to see.

Nevertheless, it is good that Vladimir Putin visited Kyiv: Ukrainian journalists gave their Russian colleagues an impressive lesson in other morals. And they concern not only the premiere of a neighboring country - when a wreath crashed to Viktor Yanukovych, only Russian channels did not show this funny episode and even part of the Ukrainian authorities - most of the Ukrainian television and air tested demonstrated a curious episode. Because it's funny. Because people should laugh - including the authorities. Because when a group of bare beauties walks in the center of Kyiv with posters "Ukraine - not Alina", this is not blasphemy, not a blow to the saint, but cheerful cheppening. Simply put, the Russian delegation managed to make a trip from a country where they are desperately fighting with everything living and laughing, to a country where there are still living people who can be cursed without looking at marble statues. And this result of the visit is much more important than any economic agreements.
