The porch for the boyar

The failed illegal immigrants sing with Putin a song about the picture in your primer and awarded orders. Investigators of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, involved in the death of Sergei Magnitsky, are growing in the service and screwing new Tsatski to the well -deserved chest. Transneft's workers, suspected of theft of capitalist property, receive gratitude from the Government of the Russian Federation. The so -called Yakemenko, for whom it becomes more difficult to choose an epithet in the treasury of his native speech, is awarded a meeting with the prime minister, during which he shares his ideas about a healthy lifestyle.

Actually, it has always been so. Although with John, even with Peter, even with Brezhnev. The tradition of reward, thanking and making the most faithful has developed for a long time and is an integral part of Russian history. This, one might say, is the tradition of dialogue - power with the people. Like the custom of throwing boyar from the porch.

It all depends on the political situation.

If the tops can be almost anything, and the bottoms want the king to remember them as little as possible, then the awarding of the conditional Malyuta Skuratov by the star of the Hero of the Soviet Union is without interference. If the authorities are weak, and the people are already pulling metal structures for barricades on the triumphal, then an anointed can also drop the bottom from the porch at the station.

Today, the situation in the country is characterized by the word "duality". Two kings are young and old. Two peoples - small, but very active, directed then to democracy, or then to Nazism; And numerous, fascinated, indifferent, humble. This is not a revolutionary situation at all, and thank God. However, fermentation is among the people and in the elites quite noticeable, which is also reflected in the gestures of the supreme power.

Responding to a well -known scandal with beating, President Medvedev orders to catch and plant villains "regardless of the position, a place in the public system of coordinates ... from other merits, if any." An instantly diaper signal, the famous NTV reporter goes to Khimki - to remove the mayor. The democratic community appears to remove Surkov and the so -called Yakemenko. Similar plots develop in parallel. The heroic shareholder Navalny, struggling with state -forming corruption, posts in his blog documents of the Accounts Chamber devoted to economic crimes in Transneft. On the anniversary of the death of Sergei Magnitsky, human rights activists demand a parliamentary investigation of the circumstances of his death.

This is one trend. There is another. The mayor of Strelchenko expels the famous reporter from his office, and a couple of days later reports that "the Moscow -Petersburg highway can be built only through the Khimki forest" - and even though you all shoot yourself. Bromewruging Tsatski, law enforcement officers convene a press conference at which they continue to insist that the deceased lawyer was involved in thefts from the budget. At the same time, Putin expresses gratitude to Transneft's workers and accepts the so -called Yakemenko, who had just mocked the beaten Kashin on his blog. And in the framework of the previous trend, the presidential assistant Dvorkovich in his Twitter collapses to the head of Rosmolodezh. True, for a different reason.

All this can be understood differently. As an imitation of the best struggle with the best. As a real struggle for power between Medvedev and Putin, during which both sides give the above signals. Say, the president prepares the society for large -scale resignations, and the prime minister, awarding and honoring the reception of potential seisadrs and retirees, demonstrates the guarantor of the border of his capabilities. For example, Yakemenko cannot be touched, as well as Tokarev, the former colleague of Putin on the KGB, the current chapter of Transneft. And Dmitry Anatolyevich objects to him. Resolutely so, aphoristic, but - in the microblog. With the mouth of his assistant, and the record addressed to Yakemenko was already washed off somewhere.

I am inclined to the idea that the conflict between our fathers of relatives takes place, although it is apparently not worth exaggerating its scale. However, there are more and more signals per unit of time, and each of them is quite fundamental. Not so much for Medvedev with Putin as for society. In any case, serious questions are posed. Heroes work in the SVR or clowns? Murderers and sadists awarded power or irreconcilable wrestlers with those who honestly do not want to live? And what is actually going on in “Transneft”: it is clear that “they are unloaded by loot by Kamazami,” but where? To offshore or treasury? And who is he, the so -called Yakemenko? How do we call it all the same?

Something is cooked there in these boilers, gurgles and even throughs sometimes. Maybe he gets valid and subsides. Or maybe this will be brewed that it will have to be disheveled by the whole country. Ideal, as before, the ancient royal fun seems to be the abdication of the boyar from the porch. We know the name of this unfortunate: Legion.
