Grandpa and bully

It has long been so humiliated by our self -proclaimed national leader. The jury of the prestigious German award "Quadriga" first declared Vladimir Putin her laureate, but soon canceled his decision. It would be better not to award at all - it was read on the face of the Premier spokeswoman, who had to publicly comment on this story.

Putin is used to a completely different attitude abroad. I used to be a "man of the year" according to Time magazine. I used to knock the Khrushchev boot on the rostrum of the Munich conference against the backdrop of the frozen faces of the NATO generals. I’m used to resolving issues with a “friend of George” and “friend Silvio” in his own way. And here is such an embarrassment.

What happened to the old Europe?

It seems that she finally remembered her reputation and realized that it was possible to reach Lukashenko to the sinking of Lukashenko. After all, the awarding of bonuses to former heads of the state (previously the "quadriga" was awarded, for example, to Gorbachev and Gavel) - this is a tribute to respect for politicians. And the awarding of the current high -ranking official is the support of his course and encouraging what he is doing here and now.

European politicians (especially those in the authorities) learned to make a good mine when it comes to what is happening in Russia. It is very bad that in Moscow they disperse protest demonstrations. What a pity that the opposition is not allowed to the elections, and journalists are crippled scumbag from the Kremlin movements. Outrageous! Herr Putin is not perfect, but he guarantees the stability of Russian-European relations. Translated from diplomatic into Russian: guarantees the stability of gas supplies.

In general, when it comes to raw materials resources, Europeans often begin to speak other - not European - language at all. It is easy to recall how until recently the leaders of the Western countries hugged with Colonel Gaddafi: the very leaders who now send planes loaded with bombs to Libya. More than once, Europe was also flirted with Lukashenko, who has no minerals, but it can be used in intrigue with the Kremlin to bother the cheaper Russian gas. And if for Europe Lukashenko from time to time becomes "acceptable Sukin son", then what to worry about Putin?

The Kremlin is used to behaving in European politics, as a Russian tourist on the beach somewhere in Turkey. This is not the modest charm of the Russian bourgeoisie. This is a drunken frenzy of an accidentally rich gopnik: "What other rules? What respect? I have paid for everything, Oll is inclined! Dance, servants! Tagiyil !!!"

The reasons for such a foreign policy style of the Russian leadership may lie in psychology. Modern Russia is clearly experiencing a revenge stage of the post -Mepers syndrome. The Soviet Union lost the Cold War, went bankrupt and fell apart. But time passed, and we again have money and influence. Listen here! Stand, be afraid!

In the place of Putin, grandfather Vaclav Gavel, the legendary dissident and the first president of an independent Czech Republic, set. He simply promised to abandon his "quadriga" if the same bonus is awarded to the Russian prime minister. And it turned out that the voice of the legendary Czech dissident for Europe is still more important than the voice of the former lieutenant colonel of the KGB of the USSR.

So sometimes it happens in ordinary life. People cowardly shy away the ragged drunken bully, who yells and urinates on the flowerbed. Someone even begins to flirt with him, call Alfa-Samz. But the pensioner with a wand quietly descends into the yard, the plowman wears the rowdy, and he meals meekly and humiliated.

So Grandfather Gavel wilted the slap to Putin. At once - for everything. For the war in Chechnya, for the trampled constitution, for arrogance and for contempt for their own people. And at the same time, grandfather threw a slap and German lyzostan -like in front of the Kremlin. He taught them a good lesson and recalled what self -esteem is.

It is a pity that in Russia today such grandfathers are not visible. And it is a pity that we - citizens of Russia - continue to almost meekly observe the Shabash of the Kremlin gopniks who plunder the country, quietly rejoicing when someone has enough strength and authority at least occasionally put this sleeper in place.
