: Devaluation of political stability

The incident with the deprivation of Gudkov’s mandate is not limited to the punishment of a separate deputy, but risks becoming a model for other hardware showdowns. In fact, because with Gudkov there was a breakdown through the knee of the established practice of relationships in the terrarium for elites. It is logical that many will want to repeat it.

According to Izvestia, cleaning may affect, in particular, the factions of the United Russia themselves, which almost unanimously supported the extension from the State Duma of Gudkov. Inside the EP, according to the sources of the publication, opinions were divided: some do not want to hand over colleagues in the faction, others are quite ready for this. Moreover, such a position adheres to the presidential administration. Even a specific candidate for the exit from the Duma was called - deputy Alexei Knyshov.

The defendant himself, however, RIA Novosti explained that he was acting according to the law, and there is no analogy between him and Gudkov.

Meanwhile, to see an analogy is a simple matter. Both were businessmen before coming to the State Duma, both, in their own words, were transferred to the management, both could influence it further. And the deputies do not need the final evidence from the investigating authorities and the court decision, as the case with Gudkov showed. There are enough accusations and will of the Kremlin curators.

Alexey Knyshov

Here, however, a fork: system history or private. Why exactly the surname Knyshova surfaced in the publication of Izvestia, although in the same list of “United Russia-Businessmen” that the Socialist-Revolutionaries presented, two dozen surnames. The intrigue may not be quite systemic, but quite personal. Someone in high offices could not like some conditional deputy, and he was transparently hinted through newspaper men that he was wrong.

Or quite simple: in the Kremlin, they really decided to play the story with Gudkov on the topic "All are equal before the law" and are trying to find the scapegoat among the sponsored united Russians.

In a systematic form, history does not look so harmless. And the point here is not the personal fate of the individual deputy of the uninstall or even a group of deputies. The Kremlin now has a very unpleasant horror story for parliamentarians, and not only for them. Almost like in the famous film "And if they do not take" turn off the gas " -" you will not obey, fly out of the Duma. "

It doesn’t matter at the same time what the degree of your loyalty is conditional
Putin, your degree of loyalty to the specific Vyacheslav Volodin is important.

From the business we come from the lion's share of the deputies, and all of them can at least indicate the door tomorrow. For the rest, you can come up with some control of expenses or verification of expenses.

Undoubtedly, many Russians, if not the vast majority, such a turn of events with the landing of money bags from the parliament only welcomed. And in general, the State Duma of the population does not enjoy special authority, so Gudkov’s complaints are unlikely to be affected by Gudkov’s complaints. All this fuss around the Duma does not care about the people.

Violation of the compromise of the elites (and the non -compliance of the unspoken rules just violates it) puts the Putin system itself. It is largely built on an elite compromise, and talking with elites only the language of threats is a bad solution.

The devaluation of the deputy mandate (and it is exactly the fact that the Kremlin reserves any value of the status of a parliamentarian in the eyes of serious people) can lead - and with a high probability will lead to devaluation and other elements of the “value system” in politics.

How much does a business cost if you can take it at any time? Yes, he is not worth it then. Or significantly cheaper than it would be appreciated in the market. And if he is protected from selection with a security diploma from Putin's proxies, then the price, on the contrary, is higher. There is no measure, there are no rules, there are no mechanisms and concepts for resolving disputes. In addition to power clubs.

There is a risk of unleashing the war of all against all, the loss of all confidence in the future. Instead of mobilization and rallying around the conditional Putin, you can get apathy, the flight of capital, the growth of corruption among the closest to the throne of the bureaucracy, large -scale hardware wars using the power elimination of competing clans and many other unpleasant things.

And this is already a blow to the system of Putin's stability: what is stability when the apparatchiks are gnawing not for life, but for death? And, of course, no modernization of the economy with this scenario should be expected with this scenario.
