A demonstrative crime

Among the social errors, widespread in Russia, the myth of the sweet life of thieves, crooks and cannibals seems to be one of the most unfair. Simply put, this is a sort. For the thieves, crooks and cannibals are not easier than ordinary citizens who are not inclined to theft, crook and cannibalism. And in something even more difficult.

The life of the social group of crooks, thieves and cannibals is full of surprises and painful experiences.

These are all abstract reasoning, but here is a specific example.

The State Duma deputies, who, using an evaluative judgment, are called crooks, thieves, cannibals, as well as terrorists, have already voted twice for a well -known "anti -magnetic" bill. For the second time - also for amendments, tightening the already cannibalist, as they say, his character. And everything would be fine, but between the first and second vote there were events that could not but upset the deputies - those who voted in their vast majority for this bill.

No, we are not talking about the reaction of the so -called society, that is, voters, about whom the people's deputies were reluctant to remembered once every four years, and now they will recall even less often. And not about the fact that the ministers of Livanov and Lavrov, as well as the Commissioner for Human Rights, spoke out against the bill - that Livanov, Lavrov and Lukin to them, if the deputies receive the texts of bills with all amendments directly from the presidential administration? The point is that shortly before the second round of voting, Vladimir Putin took the word.

With the mouth of his spokeswoman, he expressed something uncertain. On the one hand, as if approved by Tu Opeed, according to many, an amendment to the bill, which provides for a ban on the adoption of Russian orphans by US citizens. It turned out that the president "with understanding belongs to the position occupied by" deputies - to their such, you know, "harsh, emotional" position. However, on the other hand, Peskov said, "the line of executive branch is more restrained," and here he even used the introductory word "of course." That is, he hinted that in this form Vladimir Vladimirovich would not sign the bill.

The question is: what did they fight for?

Just imagine this dramatic conflict. People’s chosen ones, almost in a single impulse, vote as ordered, honoring unpleasant nicknames, once: thieves, crooks, cannibals, terrorists. And then Putin comes out, all in white, and says Peskov in the voice of Peskov: they say, you could not restrain yourself, and I, perhaps, will restrain myself. All the useful that is in your legislation, which we have lowered you from the Kremlin, including the spread of the law to any foreigners involved in violations of the rights of citizens of the Russian Federation and the ban on membership in NPO citizens of the United States, I will sign, and I will throw it away about children. So that thieves, crooks, cannibals and terrorists are called only you, not me.

Right the heart breaks, as you imagine the conversation of the collective Volodin with the collective Lakhova, one of those who in the Kremlin appointed the author of the bill, between the first and second round of voting. "We shoot, then, the amendment?" - "No, what do you, vote as you agreed, portray the emotionally colored voice of the people." - "But we are called with thieves, crooks, cannibals and terrorists. It's a shame!" - "Vladimir Vladimirovich said: tolerate." And frequent beeps in the tube.

What to do - voted. And for the third time almost certainly they would accept the bill, already undergoing such insults, next to which the thieves and “crooks”, “cannibals” and “terrorists” fade. And you say a sweet life. And all in order to be honored with a mean, ambiguous, inaudible, quiet praise of a national leader who does not consider it necessary to share his secret plans with them.

Although it is possible that Putin’s secret plan consists precisely in order to listen to the disagreements and we will spite them to take and sign the law in the very final form, with all the amendments. Then, of course, crooks, thieves, cannibals and terrorists can be envied. Like any sufferers whose torment was appreciated and rewarded.
