“Black holes” is a good image!

What else can the state offer to the failed spy Anna Chapman, favored by Putin? A job in a bank, membership in the party and the "most mysterious" own program on TV ...

On Friday, January 21, the REN TV channel as part of the documentary project "Reality" will air the first program "Secrets of the World with Anna Chapman", a failed overseas intelligence officer of the SVR who came to us last summer on an exchange with US intelligence. This news caused an understandable stir: upon returning to her homeland, the brave scout was already filmed half-naked for the MAXIM magazine, she waved a pen at the cosmodrome to the Soyuz TMA-M crew flying into space (with an American in the composition), she received the sinecure of the “adviser on innovations” of the president of Fundservicebank, and on New Year's Eve, she spoke at the congress of the Young Guard of United Russia, entering its leadership.

This has never happened before in the history of world intelligence. Therefore, with all the revival of TV viewers, the blogosphere and TV experts discussing Anna's coming to the air, this event should be considered primarily as a political one. The story itself is loud. Other members of the exposed group are also not left behind by the cares of their colleagues, they got good positions in raw materials and other state-owned companies, but, as befits people in their profession, they remain in the shadows. Only Anna and her "employment" are still in the spotlight of the state media.

Apparently, in the Kremlin or the White House (for some time now I have been stylistically distinguishing them), the people responsible for politics decided that there was enough texture in the figure and life path of the beauty to fashion a positive example out of her. Glamor is almost killed by the crisis, but you really need to present something as a life guide to those who cannot go to work in the United States, right? A young lady is quickly molded into a positive hero of our time. Or, which is the same in the Kremlin's system of values, an agent of influence among the "young and advanced."

On this path, no doubt, not everything is simple. On the one hand, according to the official announcement of REN, “the most mysterious woman hosts the most mysterious program,” and it was only from this mystery that she agreed to come on TV. On the other hand, according to the information of the American law enforcement agencies, counterintelligence grazed her for several years. You need to understand that they can tell by dates what she bought and in which store, what lipstick she wore and what kind of pads she used. It is possible that cameras were stuck in her bedroom. Even the most desperate patriots will not call this a mystery.

There is a contradiction, but the image of the riddle is still needed to make Anna a political career associated with the media. In today's Russia, unlike boring Europe and the United States, such a combination is a good form. For starters, it’s enough that she changed Kushchenko’s unprepossessing surname to a sonorous American one. The heiress Burataeva already has a waist, and this is good for all of us. But it is not known whether she, like Burataeva, is capable of working in the frame, and this is what is most important for her now.

The authorities really need the image of a modern hero. Absolutely loyal, but still a hero. Young people, by virtue of their nature, do not want to dream only about money and its derivatives. All attempts by “ours” and other locals have so far been in vain. Let's remember how they tried to present Vitaliy Kaloev in this capacity. How a Caucasian man was greeted with applause in Sheremetyevo, who with cold calculation prepared a crime, avenged the death of his children. And even the position of the Orthodox Church did not stop the commissars, who passed off the usual murder and blind revenge for a feat.

Here are their enemies - scoop a pan, almost half the world. Their lists are regularly updated and revised. Whose head to impale, they hardly know, but the bad luck came out with the heroes. And Anna Kushchenko gave the Kremlin a new chance.

I have no doubt that due to the first stage of her biography, she will not be given a visa to any country she likes. Perhaps to a ripe old age. That is, it is necessary to settle down here, in Russia. Therefore, it is possible that, following the old Russian proverb “Everything is useful that got into your mouth,” a passionate woman who had even received an invitation to a Playboy porn film before (a stupid but necessary detail in such a career), and herself, without any prodding, tries on herself new life.

She will be helped in every possible way, create informational occasions, "will be brought into the light." But she will never become Valentina Tereshkova, who became the face of Soviet TV and politics: she really was a cool pilot and flew into space, and the new REN host from professional achievements has only a mediocre failure. After all, Putin himself told Larry King that it failed to inflict any damage on America.
