In the Kremlin

Flying snakes

September 15, 2011 Vladimir Nadein

Listen, why are they flying back and forth? Why don't they sit still? What are they even flickering in front of our eyes? They have nothing to do?

Answer: Nothing. I mean, there is, but I do not want to. That is, they would not mind doing something like that, but so that it is beautiful and on the television camera. And without television, the soul does not lie.

Here are a few problems from the agenda of the president, which they have been talking about for years, but decisions are not visible closely. They, alas, are not suitable for showing on TV. I am listing in random order. 1. The problem of federalism, a harmonious combination of the rights of the center and regions. 2. The problem of housing, i.e. The possibility of a normally working family in normal terms is the owner of a normal modern apartment or house. 3. The problem of restoring the constitutional right of citizens to referenda and free elections. 4. The problem of education or the creation of a system of guarantees of knowledge necessary for a decent life in modern society.

And so on, the list goes beyond the horizon.

Here are a few problems from the agenda of the prime minister, puffed and forgotten. Again, the numbering is arbitrary. 1. Transcence in transport. It is not vengeful to close the airlines after the tragedy in Yaroslavl or plant tenants after Bulgaria. Let the owners pay an automatic to a million dollars for every soul and not only for the great hockey player. They run up themselves. 2. Capital construction. The whole table of building codes and rules is hopelessly outdated. We are most expensive than anyone and the worst. 3. Gas supply. We sell gas to Italy, and the Moscow Region sits on cylinders. 3. We have more expensive gasoline than in America, but it’s much worse.

And so on. Thousands of untouched puzzles, which are thrown overboard by their representative galleys of the Lux class.

Not only did both of our figures adore themselves on the screens, so they have the same sin behind us. This is in vain. It is sick of both, even when they do not lie, which is extremely rare. The minds are not rich, with wit, they are annoyingly jokes when they are asked on business. They ask, of course, foreigners. Our compatriots, that the old ones, that the girls, barely rejecting the microphones, are eagerly interested in the life of the tundra deer. Since deer, two deer - how much can you? We have to fly away.

And the yard flies with each. Boyars, hunting, singers. Flies to Volgograd. Some kind of dick, from where he crawled out, is unclear. It seems from Kalmykia. Jacket Milan, eyes run. “And that we will not beat this rotten overseas dollar in any way with our glorious ruble? The fascists were beaten, and here - what, our silushka fellow weakened? " The moron, of course, but if from Kalmykia, then you need to answer. “But we ask our Minister of Finance.” Of the first rows, where the ruling elite actively fights with sleep, Kudrin rises, sad, frightened. Or a cheerful pygalita from the Ministry of Agriculture: Chick-Chirik, Vladimir Vladimirovich, yes, Chick-Chirik. What they answer is unimportant. Anyway, nothing new. The camera runs along the rows. Khmyr nods joyfully, the most popular singer ends, unable to withstand.

All this worthless booth has been moving with them from the city for years to the city. Everywhere bustle, traffic jams, the capital's security services are rampant, buyers are expelled from stores so that in case of something they do not dangle underfoot. Children are scared by the snipers of Uncle Dima-Dyadi Vova. Half an hour after the final word, everyone disappears without a trace, only the governor gets drunk with happiness that they did not miss the widow who carved herself to himself .

Putin flew to the Far East to press the button on the computer and thereby open the damper of the new gas pipeline. It would be possible not to fly anywhere, but to press the button in Moscow. But Pontus is not the same. From the blog of a local resident: “On the eve of the working trip, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to Vladivostok, held on September 8, carefully checked and sealed attics and basements along the entire“ guest route ”. And this despite the fact that the main goal of Putin’s arrival was to launch gas on the island of Russian, that is, not even in Vladivostok itself. ”

They blocked the entire center. But, unexpectedly for the local authorities, V. Putin wanted to visit the "public reception" named after himself. Travel to her walks along the street where there are no comfortable detours. “The huge area of ​​the city called Egersheld was completely cut off. Thousands of citizens were forced to spend 4-5 hours in an unscheduled traffic jam. On the same day in Vladivostok, for some reason, mobile communications were constantly “falling”.

The premiere’s return trip ran over the Urals. From Novaya Gazeta: “The arrival of Vladimir Putin to the Armament exhibition in Nizhny Tagil for the whole day paralyzed the Yekaterinburg highway, and his departure - for several hours stopped the work of the Koltsovo Airport ... The airport was closed to a special disposal due to high security measures. Several planes with hundreds of passengers on the sides of about an hour circled over the city. ”

What Putin did in Vladivostok, you know. I pressed the button. What he did in Nizhny Tagil, you may have seen. Accompanied by a large industrial official, he approached an elegant, clean tank. He touched the caterpillar with his finger. I touched the thing that over the caterpillar. He climbed into the tower. He climbed out of the tower, entangled with his right foot. Praised. Three days later, the chief of the General Staff N. Makarov said that the tank was “raw”, the Ministry of Defense did not want to buy it.

A couple of years ago, the family of US President B. Obama rested in the summer in Spain. Then the seal was full of criticism, because almost a hundred guards went with the president’s wife and children, and it cost the treasury too much. Well, dear or not - this is the business of the Americans. It is different for us. They did not pretend to be a peephole. The exact figures for the cost of protecting the “first family” were available to every US citizen.

As you like, shake the official website of the Government of the Russian Federation - you will not shake the cost of "business trips". It will go into the void and the question of what is related to the premiere work of the fuss with the sleeping tiger or the pursuit of Kit. In a country where African poverty only sets off oil and gas power, the main bosses spend hundreds of millions of rubles to show off the television cameras in a new surroundings for themselves.

They completely lost the idea of ​​time and themselves. The more often they peer into the screens, the more they like. In the performance of recognized masters of television flattery, they look higher, look more charming, sound more seductive. Without strict demand from below, without competition on an equal footing, they corrupted and spread. They thoughtlessly and wastefully flutter over the angry country, sincerely believing themselves to the messengers of happiness. But in our cloudy sky, angels flicker less and less. Wherever you look, some flying snakes.
