Actually, Vladislav Yuryevich came to England in another case. The public gathered in the London School of Economics, he had to read a report about "Innovations in Russia: plans and prospects." However, the topic, as he guessed in advance, was little interested in the audience. What, in fact, innovations, when Surkov himself is on the rostrum-the former gray cardinal Putin, the Demiurge of a wide profile, which has now gone into the shadow, albeit on the prestigious post of Deputy Prime Minister in the Medvedev government. Such a character is interesting to spin on political statements, if he, of course, wants.
Vladislav Yuryevich wanted.
Removing on the go, he did not give a lecture and stated that he intended to answer questions . In the answers, as if casually, Skolkovo was also mentioned, the name of the very innovative center that the marmots supervises, and the word sounded in a dramatic way. Thinking aloud about the “pig”, which “spoiled the reputation” of a wonderful project, the Deputy Prime Minister unexpectedly criticized the Bastrykin department. As one might understand, the workers of the UK, attacking Ilya Ponomarev, scared away from Skolkov "potential investors", which greatly harmed the cause. In other words, Vladislav Yuryevich confirmed his reputation as a liberal in power, no matter what this phrase means.
However, he also confirmed his reputation, as it were, softer, he also confirmed the statesman. When he spoke of a saint - about the system, which, in his opinion, "survived the 2011 elections" and "defeated the opposition." That is, the story of a glorious victory was true in its own way, the crafty state-forming lies were covered in details. When the Deputy Prime Minister, as if prescribing an indulgence from his superiors for a collision with the UK, said that the indicated system “showed rigidity-long-awaited rigidity!-in relation to extremists. And finally those who considered it possible to beat the police, suffered a well-deserved punishment!”
This must be the art of surviving a secondary policy, a PR man in nature: to be able to think dialectically. Demonstrating freedom of freedom, to be angry with another secondary official who, you will not believe, "speaks loudly about violations - before the court decision." And then to praise the highest authorities, who committed the reprisal against the disagreements sitting in the pre -trial detention center - despite the fact that one unfortunate Luzyanin was convicted of the "damaged enamel". The rest of the rest in the courts has not yet been proven. Citizens know the price to these courts and these evidence - both in Russia and in the West.
In the framework of this propaganda dialectics, he talked with future economists and their teachers. He filled, as he knew how to, his oxymoron "sovereign democracy": it turned out that the country's not free in the political plan could be economically open. Returning to innovation, for some reason he convinced the audience that Vekselberg was not a thief, because he did not peck money, and then he suddenly gave himself as an example of himself, who also managed to enrich himself in the 90s and, therefore, honest. He refuted the assumption of the reigning stagnation in Russia with the help of non -trivial argument: they say, in the West, the crisis that falls on us, then “their own in the Caucasus” create problems, what kind of stagnation is there ... “It is a pity that there is no stagnation, there is no time to relax,” the speaker dreamed.
It seemed that he was mocking future economists, and this impression was true, but only partly. Surkov, as you can see, rarely acts and only on such days when he, a person with an infinitely high self -esteem, seems that it is time to familiarize humanity with his precious thoughts. So it was after Beslan, when Vladislav Yuryevich told us about the "besieged fortress" and "rotten apples and lemons." Eight years ago, when he wanted to share with the journalists of the German “Spiegel” personal considerations about the Khodorkovsky case and, as it were, even wash himself from this matter. Two years ago, when we recognized the Surkov-mysticism, who told the simple-minded reporter of the Grozny-TV channel that the father and son of the Kadyrovs, as well as Putin, was sent to the Russians by God. And every time you could notice that the gray cardinal performs on his own behalf, as if completing a combination born in the cabinet silence.
A performance in London from the same row, although this time he, apparently, simultaneously solved several small tasks. At the entrance he was met by young people with posters decorated with the number "19", symbolizing the place of Surkov in the updated list of Magnitsky, and Vladislav Yuryevich was happy to show himself to the city and the world. Say, look, envy, there can be no talk of any list. In addition, he simply reminded of himself, half -forgotten by Demiurge of the zero years. The main problem came down to the fact that the Skolkovo project turned out to be failed in all indicators, including, as it were, macroeconomic. Money, in simpler, was stolen from there, and the goal of the speaker is now to at least remind you of the project, if it was not possible to attract serious investors.
In any case, having severely reported to Bastrykin, the Deputy Prime Minister tried to prove to the audience, which retains some control of his siliceous valley. What is in the White House a person who, to some extent, is able to guarantee deposits of foreign entrepreneurs. That the triumph of sovereign democracy in Russia does not quite apply to the miracle-town. After all, in fact, he came to London precisely in order to captivate the West with Russian innovations, and slightly bluffed, deviating from the main topic, but did not deceive the audience. The audience was interested in a completely different one, and Surkov’s speeches, now bored with quotes, testified that the PR man did not cope with his task.
He probably could not cope with him, with all his desire. For the events and facts related to politics and economics looked too dialectical in the presentation of Surkov. On the one hand, innovative dreams, on the other, are political prisoners. On the one hand, honest billionaires, on the other, morals and customs of the Potemkin villages. On the one hand, a “stormy, dynamic life”, as Surkov assured the audience, on the other, a repressive regime with all the signs of insanity of a stagnant era. Such contradictions are also called screaming, and London left the speaker, which was bogged down in them, without convincing anyone.
