With people on Khodynka

After the obstruction, after the obstruction, which Muscovites arranged for him by his protests (and the one he arranged with the help of riot police) on the streets and squares of the capital, managed to slightly smooth out the impression of the Kremlin wall of the alienation between the ordinary people and the newly elected head of state in the eyes of the world community.

*** In the afternoon inauguration, then a banquet. All this is far from the masses, behind the gear walls, surrounded by the elite. And in the evening of the same day, he already chased the puck with ordinary people in the Ice Palace on Khodynka, sweating.

The Russia-2 TV channel, which, judging by the program, was supposed to show the World Cup between the US and Slovakia, managed to quickly reorient and show the battle between the veterans with loud names (Fetisov, Krutov, Makarov, etc.) and the national lovers, for which he went to the ice in the T-shirt. Of the other famous "lovers" one could notice the governor of the Moscow Region Shoigu and the Saxophonist Butman. On the rostrum, among the spectators, the television camera distinguished Mr. Berlusconi with a blonde. Both were flattered when their friend, carefully traveled several players, rolled the puck into a half -empty gate.

Putin-Hockey player is news. Well, judoka - yes. And for a long time. Well, an amateur of skiing, well, a pilot, well, a tanker, well, a motorist, a lawyer, an acwalangist ... It is strange that there is still no skater. Although now you can’t vouch for anything.

Switching to another channel, I again saw Putin on ice - only in the T -shirt of the Russian national team, but again at number 11. It was a documentary of the German TV "I - Putin. Portrait."

He was promised NTV more than two months ago and was already in the net just three days before the presidential election. But then the show was canceled. It seemed that it was not good to play one of the candidates for the presidential post. Either NTV was fastened - under their responsibility. Either the candidate himself became embarrassed. Doesn't matter. It is important that today the work of the German journalist Hubert Zaypel was a spoon to the presidential banquet.

Even before the credits, we see Putin in a car explaining the portraitist journalist in pure German, where the Kremlin is, and where is the university. Evening Moscow rushes past. The journalist asks his first uncomfortable question: "What is the reason for the negative attitude towards you from the West?"

• Fears, - the interlocutor throws briefly.

And he explains: they say, fears are not in front of him, Putin, but to Russia, before its scale, in front of its nuclear weapons, in front of its capabilities in other areas.

Then the journalist gives the interviewer a convenient pass: “The West has an ultimatic requirement:“ You must be like the West. Be kind, accept Western rules. "And Putin from this presentation scores a spectacular puck into the gates of the national team of his opponents to the applause of Khodynka:

• No no. I must be what the people want to see me.

Well, then the story about how his people would like to see from the point of view of Hubert Zaypel. And how he saw him.

I saw him primarily on the hunt, as stated in the film, "on the noble deer." How he shoots them is not shown. Since, perhaps, the people would not want to see this. But the people saw how he eats a noble venison prepared at the stake.

Further, the people learn that Putin appreciates most of all: silence, remoteness and devotion. Then a small retrospociation in a poor St. Petersburg childhood. A reminder of how he at ease of the game for influence on the power of several oligarchs, and he planted one of them for a long time. How he made Mr. Deripasca sign a light manner of hand under some kind of contract; He called to him, pushed him paper, gave a pen. He smeared her without looking and almost carried away the premiere pen. But did not take it away. The prime minister did not allow.

Such "washers" are especially appreciated by ordinary fans.

Next, the nomination for the presidency and unanimous support of the congress of the winners - "United Russia". And then Hubert climbs with an uncomfortable, one might say, provocative question: "Why is he, and not Medvedev, on whom the West relied on?" The hockey player by an edifying feint goes to the side: "The bet must be made on the people."

The journalist, having understood at a glance, demonstrates how this bet was made. As long as President Medvedev goes to the restored Bolshoi Theater along with “those who have money and communications”, presidential candidate Putin learns to stand on skates and hold a club in his hands. Two on the rink: the one who gives comfortable passes, and Putin, who rolls the puck to exhaustion. This is the meaning of Putin’s replacement of sports addictions - from an elite ski rest to the team’s beloved people, the successes in which the country was always proud of.

*** So, we see on one side the glamorous Medvedev, on the other - sweaty Putin. So that the audience has no doubt about how to interpret this disposition, a sunbathing voice reports that Putin intentionally "distances from Nutorusha and predecessor."

From Medvedev, let's say, he did not distance himself far, but with Lukashenko, who also prefers the hockey box to all kinds of ballets and operas, he became closely closer. And not only in the field of hockey, but also in terms of stick discipline.

The German journalist found, however, another reason in the hobby of the portraited hero with hockey. Putin is going to personally open the Cochinsky Olympics in two years. And for this he will need to learn to stay more or less confidently on skates. Not the way the pastor was skiing in a popular film from the life of scouts.

But the president found the application of his new sports discipline a couple of years earlier. Thanks to his two washers, the national team of amateurs won the veterans team with a score of 6: 5 yesterday. Moreover, it was Vladimir Vladimirovich who stabbed the decisive puck.

This washer flew only into the gates of professionals, but also into the gates of liberals. At that moment, a touching and unanimous reunion of Putin with the people, which was questioned in Bolotnaya and other squares, streets and boulevards of the capital, occurred at Khodynka.

*** What should be especially insulting to domestic propagandists and publicists? It turned out that in the nomination, where they have especially extensive experience, they obviously and shamefully lost to the German journalist. Hubert Zaypel gave a good lesson to Arkady Mamontov, other creators of agites such as an anatomy of protest and even Nikita Mikhalkov, the author of the famous essay "55", - a lesson of tactical lyzobate, appreciated by the NTV leadership, and probably Putin himself.

The masters of our agitprop must be learned. Already in the fall of this year, celebrations on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of President Putin are coming to the country.

Once Ostap Bender mixed us: "The West will help us." The idiot's dream came true: the West really helped, but not Bender. And not Khodorkovsky. And not to the country.
