"The Putin Phenomenon." Part III
For an individual overwhelmed by pride, and our “object” of research belongs precisely to this class of types, a feeling of gratitude is generally unusual. And the combination of conceit with other psychological attitudes inherent in the false hero gives rise to a character trait commonly referred to as “black ingratitude.” How they treated the above-mentioned Minister of Finance, who was thrown out of the government, with the tacit consent of the “master”, is not the worst case of “reward” for long-term impeccable service. And even though the adherent of simple irony about “picking his nose”, which is a banal method of avoiding a direct answer, swore for some time that the minister was still part of his team - “I’m not me, and the horse is not mine.” It is clear that this was a hypocritical game for an undiscriminating public - a “cover operation”; yes, yes, the very place that worries him most.
Much more serious in consequences are the long-standing vicissitudes surrounding the first mayor of Northern Palmyra. A man who, in fact, opened the way into big politics for the future “national leader.” A dark story with persecution and the “unexpected” death of the vice-mayor, when he could no longer add anything to the “piggy bank” of his former assistant, except, of course, compromising information about his vigorous activities, which even then raised many questions among colleagues in charge of accounting and control the funds entrusted to the “assistant” are far from personal, still waiting for his “Poirot”. Is it possible that the results of the trial may “inspire” a phraseology about a snake warmed on the chest?
And about his predecessor in the highest position in the state, who, one might say, personally placed the newly-made “leader” on the “throne”, how many words were said by the latter, not counting on kind ones? Having settled comfortably on the “throne”, which was not made by him, he tried to quickly erase from his memory who he owed his rise to. His pride turned out to be so boundless that he could not be satisfied with the title of some successor, and therefore just a continuator of the work begun by someone. No, only the laurels of the savior of the nation, who raised the country from its knees, who revived the empire from scratch, such are the ambitions of the nouveau riche, no more and no less. If that time is mentioned, it is only in the negative context of the “dashing nineties”. Although it was primarily the flock of greedy “jackals” that circled around the surrendered Akela that was responsible for such an unflattering description of that era. Including, if we continue Kipling’s analogies, the “bloodthirsty Shere Khan” is the successor, protégé of one of the most odious “monsters” of the pack. Those who lived in the “jungle” of times of change. From his own “protégé” and the victim – “the law of the jungle.” Yes, with a successor who had previously been good at figuring out who was who, “Akela” missed the mark. But let us be lenient towards him, who by that time was old and already unhealthy - “he who is without sin, let him throw the first stone.” When it was really needed, there was no one nearby who would update the slogan “Boris, you’re wrong!” In this particular case.
The successor’s “game” of being a hero has dragged on somewhat and many “viewers” are already pretty tired of it. In this connection, the question arises, what is the future line of life of the discussed darling of fate. After all, to paraphrase the words from a famous musical hit of the past, “the game can be long, but life is even longer.” You can, of course, build a logical chain and predict its far from bright future. Moreover, all the necessary prerequisites for this already exist and we are standing on the threshold of this “fatal” outcome. But many have already succeeded in this field, and very convincingly, so we will not repeat ourselves. Let's trust the ancient wisdom: “What was, that will be; and what has been done will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.” Your humble servant finds his answers in History, which, nevertheless, teaches something.
It was previously stated that our permanent ruler is a typical “double” of His Serene Highness Prince A.D. Menshikov. The latter, as is known, ended his days in exile. Here's what Wikipedia says about this. “Due to the struggle for power, behind-the-scenes intrigue among senior government officials and courtiers, Menshikov’s side lost. ... was deprived of all his positions, awards, property, titles on charges of abuse and embezzlement and exiled with his family to the Siberian town of Berezov, Tobolsk province.” Here it is - the most likely “scenario” for the finale that has not yet played out. According to legend, Peter's favorite had property, visible and invisible. However, according to knowledgeable people, in comparison with the “intention” of the current “unintentionally warmed by fame” fake hero, these are mere pennies. Progress. So much the worse for him, since this is an additional incentive for the “offended” who are always present in the circle of the chosen ones to take, as they believe, what is theirs. Those who wanted to “put their paw” on something that was lying badly were never transferred. So, as soon as you “smell something fried”, the matter will not go away - the economic crisis will not bypass our penates, the “elite” will need a “lamb” to the slaughter. And on the one without whom the future could not be imagined just yesterday, his henchmen will try to hang all the dogs. Of course, to the enthusiastic applause of the crowd. The “homegrown truth” is that it is not the opposition, the latter, unfortunately still unorganized and weak, that will bring down the hero, but their own oligarchs and officials.
The first number of the “tandem”, of course, perfectly understands where things are going. They have already discarded, as unnecessary, concerns about their reputation. Why, when “finita la comedy” is inevitable. Now he is occupied by something else. He is feverishly looking for how to retreat, in other words, to escape, disappear, or... reincarnate in a new capacity. Taking what was put aside for a rainy day. So, now the slogan is not “Go away...”, but “Keep... him.” But “disappearing” or finding refuge with immunity from persecution for such a prominent figure is not an easy task. What is needed here is a hoax on a universal scale. But, having such a material “backlog”, it must be admitted that hopes to “crank it out” have some basis. And some probability of coming true. And again let's turn to History. “The Legend” about the elder Fyodor Kuzmich, who, according to a number of researchers, is Emperor Alexander I, who staged his unexpected death in Taganrog. And who eventually found shelter in a monastery in Tomsk. This is eureka. Under the arches of the Church, with a certain dexterity, one can find refuge from earthly “vales” even today, protected by its sacred immunity.
It seems that we are now witnessing the initial phase of a planned “operation” of moving into spiritual robes. This is evidenced, among other things, by the ongoing scandal surrounding an all-female punk band with an unpronounceable foreign name. It would seem that there are many “offenders” who publish revealing materials and allow themselves to make public statements against the guarantor and worse: a thief, a swindler, and so on and so forth. And he gets away with nothing. And here, it’s nothing more than petty hooliganism, but such repressions are actually against girls. But the point is that these simple-minded girls, without realizing it themselves, intervened in a major political game of a seasoned intriguer, in which his future is at stake. As they say, we fell under the “skating rink”. With “ditties” they provoked negative public opinion around the “holy bonds” of the Church and the “Devil”, thereby “excommunicating” the latter from the Church much more effectively than other politicians. With their “fragile female shoulders” they blocked his path to escape into holy hypocrisy. So, the court case of these young women is, in an implicit form, the “case” of another – a powerful defendant. The outcome of the new “fight against witches” will determine not only the fate of the latter, but, probably, the fate of the “idol” that we have worshiped in recent years. And, by and large, it is a test of maturity for Society. Will we pass this test? Wait and see!
