Byzantium is the country classified, no matter how it is called and no matter what era. It is mysteriously literally everything: laws, personnel permutations, ups and falls of crooks and thieves, outbreaks of bossy anger. Even reptile, with a crocodile of the press in this country from time to time, gives rise to riddles.
An example from "Life".
The president sucks ministers, threatening to fire them. The video scores in the tabloid, the newspaper "Life" (Lifenews in Russian) betrays these frames, scandal is spinning. And it seems that the plot is uncomplicated, and the thoughtful Byzantine experts, who have long been knowing everything about Vladimir Vladimirovich and the Gabrelyanov Dynasty, is not difficult to solve this rebus.
It is clear that Putin is preparing the country for Medvedev’s resignation, and the well-known resource exists to merge various news there, as it were, unworthy seals-from the opposition’s telephone wiretaps to unrestrained, but such humanly understandable presidential speeches. So they leaked , and politically competent comments to the report (“So we must talk to them ... It's time to tighten the nuts for a long time ... Vladimir Vladimirovich well done!”), As if confirm the guess of the sophisticated political scientists. Therefore, two hours before Medvedev’s performance in the Duma and the electorate was sent, as is customary in Byzantium, a signal . One of the experts even predicted the future "public humiliation" of the prime minister in parliament. Say, they played tandem - and enough.
However, further events did not develop at all as our Byzantologists suggested. Dmitry Anatolyevich with impunity reported to the people's chosen ones, and finally, he also allowed himself sharpness, saying that he would not give the minister Livanov, and the deputies swallowed the offense. It was also noticeable that the prime minister was in a very good mood.
But the mood was clearly spoiled by the Putin press secretary Dmitry Peskov. He attacked Lifenews, using the word "unethical", which was interesting in itself, if we recall the reputation of the publication, as well as a spokeswoman. In addition, Peskov said that the portal correspondents will be expelled from the presidential pool. There is a gap of the template, and here the plot, which seemed simple, gains the usual Byzantine viscosity.
You think, in particular, that Byzantium is still not North Korea, not Hitler Germany and not the Stalinist USSR. This is a more complex system, which is why it is so unpredictable its domestic political squiggles. Thinking about the current era, and in a dialectical way: on the one hand, wherever you look, continuous shamelessness and wiring; On the other hand, many are already experiencing aversion to these times, and even the most notorious pillars of the regimes suddenly amaze the audience with some human reaction to what is happening.
It is also impossible not to say about the uniqueness of the journalistic profession, which sometimes works miracles with the most unexpected people. Lee is capturing whether the conscience wakes up, but if yesterday you moved your ears in the mobile phones of disagreements, it is possible that today you will forget to turn off the camera under Putin, although the president asked you for this in the Russian language. And tomorrow, responding to the annoyed speeches of the press secretary, you suddenly firmly declare: "This is our work!" And even dare to refute the words of Peskov, who claimed that Putin in Elista was healed by the regional authorities. No, the president turned to members of the government, informs the public Ashot Gabrelyanov and even threatens in response to “persecution in our direction” to publish a complete video from which everything will become clear. ” Right NTV of some era of Gusinsky, and not the newspaper "Life".
However, to live in Byzantium and think that I have unraveled at least one of its secrets - frivolity is unforgivable. Therefore, any versions of what is happening are believable. This is a performance in which Putin, Peskov and Gabrelyanov Jr. play their memorized roles. This is a rebellion of the executive director of the Gabrelyanov and Son publishing house - with the consequences for the holding rather gloomy. This is a random scandal that will resolve tomorrow, because both sides are completely unprofitable for its continuation. This is a prelude to the imminent resignation of Medvedev. This is a completely meaningless episode from the life of the elites, for why the president will prepare the people to leave the prime minister, when it is known in advance that his resignation will not make the slightest impression on voters.
By the way, the last explanation seems to be the most logical of all. Within the framework of the logic that determines our political life and is described by the saying, "Men with jigsaws are forested." In other words, nonsense is the main content of this political life, which is why it is not amenable. What is the main state secret of Byzantium, which cannot be fully comprehended and disclosed. Although, they say, you can believe in it.
