Accept - and away

In a brief statement by the former Deputy Prime Minister, who wished to explain the reasons for his resignation, literally everything is interesting.

The contradiction between the first and second paragraph: why in February, not wanting to interfere with the "electoral process", he did not resign, and in September, when this process, as they say, went with his historical speech in Washington. The same first point in which Alexei Leonidovich refutes rumors that he discussed with Putin personal career prospects. Clause Third, where he clearly calls the Kremlin project “right-handed” “in fact, discrediting the liberal-democratic idea”. Finally, the last, fourth point, with the expressions of ironic gratitude, which Kudrin calls "not the last." That is, if necessary, he is ready to take his word more than once and tell about his views on the current political life.

The tone in which this document is written inspires. In the country, which has just experienced the collective demoniac of unicorn and hysteria of the youngest president, who found out relations with the same curls, calmness and judgment of gold. One gets the impression that Alexei Leonidovich had been engaged in finances so enthusiastically that he almost paid no attention to what was happening in politics. And only now, raising his head from the screen of a computer filled with numbers, he was slightly surprised, shrugged and spoke.

The impression is, of course, false.

Apparently, Kudrin has long been burdened by the work in the government, but did not leave for a variety of reasons. In general, reading in the hearts is a rather risky lesson, but we can assume that a long -standing, even from St. Petersburg times, official friendship with Putin, and career ambition, and the unwillingness to abandon the responsible work, and the feeling that the specialists at work with the Bolsheviks have interfered. Patriotic, in fact, the feeling connected with pragmatism and crushed fears. Like, it is necessary to raise the country, and someday the authorities will be humanized by itself.

However, the specialist at the present stage is very different from the potential "pest" of the Stalinist times or the physicist of the cinema of the era of mature socialism. The demanded pros today is a very wealthy comrade working in a bank, in a defense industry, in a company that produces something very necessary for people, although sometimes classified. Or an average official, and in rare cases, the highest level. Such as Kudrin. And in this case, so much is put on the card that the voluntary final care is almost unthinkable.

Therefore, Gaidar advises Putin's government until his death. Therefore, Chubais, in a famous letter, Gontmacher Naryav, dreams of how “we will create” a nano -industrial in Rusnano, in which about 150 thousand people will be employed, of which 100 thousand are high -class specialists with a master's education. ” And how these masters will ever build capitalism with a human face in Russia-such, you know, kind and human rights, because "real democracy in the country arises only when a social layer appears, which really needs it!" Therefore, Kudrin is conjured by finances to the last, saving Putin's Russia.

Neither war, nor a party of crooks and thieves, nor the fate of Khodorkovsky, very distracted him from this lesson. And such a collective riot, Alexei Leonidovich is suddenly rushed and, perhaps, unexpectedly even for himself. When the number of silently swallowed goes into quality, and then a person breaks down literally on some trifle. On the miserable trillions prescribed for military needs, although this topic, as Medvedev rightly indicated, has been discussed more than once. Again, I won’t entrust, but the last straw for Kudrin could be a strong scattering in tandem at the congress of winners in Luzhniki. An event that causes not nausea, but vomiting of millions of compatriots.

In fact, Medvedev was right. Our unhappy lame duck had every right to be indignant and complain about non -compliance with subordination, when Kudrin (yes where! In Washington) began to share personal considerations about the upcoming budget. He was substituted and knew exactly what would follow, and how Dmitry Anatolyevich, from whom the presidential tsatski was selected, would recoup him for all his humiliations. He did not even hide the mockery-at the moment when he told the guarantor that he should still consult with the prime minister, and then decide: to leave or not to leave. He also did not hide smiles when the whispering Medvedev spoke on another topic.

A man brought up and sophisticated in official games, Kudrin never allowed himself to be like. And in other circumstances, if he decided to leave, he would have done it quietly, according to the rules, as expected. Allowing a polemic only within the framework of budget policy, but not moving to persons and not telling the president that without a visa of Putin, all his orders are worth nothing. But if you can arrange a booth in the country, similar to that we observed in Luzhniki, it means it's time to forget about decency. Now, when the boys are wiped out by the constitution and openly mock the elections, you can literally everything, and Alexei Leonidovich will probably take a pen more than once to explain with the authorities and the people. However, still in very correct expressions. On points, as in yesterday's letter. Carefully choosing words.
