In the Kremlin

The poverty of the spirit, or
Why Latynin's rights

April 5, 2013 Ivan Starikov

Today, when the passions on the results of the elections in Zhukovsky near Moscow subsided a little, we can draw a number of disappointing conclusions, which, however, are pleasing.

Historically, the party of power "United Russia" is doomed. Until the next federal elections, it will definitely not live. Attempts will continue to mimic under self -nominates - we observed this in Zhukovsky when even small non -parliamentary parties put their candidates. And “United Russia” camouflaged under the “candidate from the people” of the Ministry of Emergencies, Andrei Voytyuk. However, he did not dare to declare that he was a candidate from a party with a majority in the State Duma.

In the near future we will observe this simple maneuver in almost all major cities. However, only Vladimir Putin managed to depart from the “EP” at the federal level.

The reincarnation of the All -Russian Popular Front allows us to say that the exhaustion of the raw material model in the economy inevitably led to the exhaustion of the political model of sovereign democracy. And the classics were right: politics is really a concentrated expression of the economy.

Judge for yourself. In the last pre -crisis in 2007, at the price of oil, $ 67 per barrel, GDP growth was almost 8 percent. In 2012, with an average annual $ 109 per barrel, with all postscases and stretches, growth was a little more than 3 percent. The first quarter of 2013 at 113 dollars - 0.3 percent.

And, accordingly, if in 2007, in order to nominate from United Russia they gave bribes, today belonging to the ruling party is carefully hidden!

Against this background, “ER” is unlikely to find a place among the small “nesting dolls”, which are part of the Big Popular Front. Although the most striking and reckless representatives of Osar from Isaev to Yarova, becoming freaks, had a “golden parachute”. Such "public figures" are no longer needed by the Kremlin. I do not think that they will disappear - they will land on warm places in state -owned companies. In this sense, Vladimir Putin is much more merciful and human in relation to his faithful associates than the leaders of liberalism. Indeed, GDP does not pass his own.

I want to separately note the phenomenon of the Civil Platform party. It seems that her leader Mikhail Prokhorov begins to return the positions lost after the presidential election. His nominee Igor Novikov, who scored 28%in the elections in Zhukovsky, came first among party candidates, leaving behind the parliamentary parties - both the Communists, and “Fair Russia” and the LDPR. Andrei Voytyuk, who gained 36%, as I said, exploited the image of a “people's candidate”. And about his victory, a number of questions remain, which, for example, is asked by Boris Nadezhdin, whose role in the past elections is to indicate their “cleanliness”.

Quote from his article on Echo:

“Once again, I am convinced that mystically I find myself in the calculation of votes in the areas where the opposition wins. Here are the results in the section 628, where I was on manual terms as an observer from Novikov ":

Kurichev Alexander Timofeevich 1 vote - or 0.18 % (LDPR)

Anikanov Alexander Nikolaevich 135 votes - or 23.77 % (Communist Party)

Voituk Andrey Petrovich - 168 votes or 29.58 % (Party of power)

Novikov Igor Konstantinovich - 223 votes or 39.26% (!)

Dear Boris Borisovich! The “greatest”, mystical, how you deigned to put it, the secret that brings you to the site where the opposition representative wins, is that the authorities may not afford to flap in one site, the very one where the “guarantor of cleanliness” is gained as an observer.

The data that you brought is the true alignment of the elections in Zhukovsky.

And now about why Latynin’s rights.

This was not a joke that was upset: the lines of people who were ready to sell their vote for 1-1.5 thousand rubles even for Hitler, if only they would pay. This is a sentence not only to the entire system of power, but also to the current state of society.

Please note: a large-scale purchase of voices did not go somewhere in a depressed working settlement, but in a science city! In the city with the legendary traditions of aviation science. In the city where the aerohydrodynamic institute named after Professor N.E. Zhukovsky (TsAGI), Leah them. Gromova, Research Institute of Aviation Equipment, the famous Fizteh and others.

This is a very bad signal for both society and the authorities, saying that the passionarity and energy of the nation are practically burned. The poor spirit of the country has no future.

The state always has more money than any, the richest oligarch. But if it has already followed the path of buying up voices, then the opposition needs to help him in this.

The money that the authorities disposes is exclusively taxpayers. Therefore, the right to life receives an idea actively promoted by Julia Latinina. It is necessary to make amendments to the electoral legislation and allow citizens to legally receive money in exchange for refusing to vote by paying off their personal ballot.

Here it dawned on me: everything is exactly the Aristotle! He did not want to be a citizen - welcome to slaves!

If you adopt such a law, you will choose an active creative minority that does not sell its votes for any money. And at all times, it is precisely such people who move countries and nations to new historical borders.

Let them delegate their representatives in power in honest and transparent elections.
