Wreath to a friend

All comparisons are lame, each limp in its own way. Of course, Kadyrov is not a swan, and the surkov is not Korzhakov, but there are some reasons for a strange rapprochement. Still, you must admit, this is not common, especially in Russia: the president with a bang dismisses the official of his own free will, and one of the civil servants provides demonstrative signs of attention to the dismissed. Friendly with him and praises.

This is also called a demonstration of illness.

Actually, it is still not quite clear what forced the Secretary of the Council of People's Commissars of the Swan in the fall of 1996 to support General Korzhakov in the Duma elections to the Duma. It seemed that an irritable paratrooper directly ran into a conflict with Yeltsin, for whom the former bodyguard became the worst enemy. And still, the mystery that could be humanly binded-the army general and general of the Chekist.

It is easier to reason about what Ramzan Kadyrov connects with Vladislav Surkov. There are general Chechen roots, and mutual affection, which found the most vivid expression in that famous interview with Vladislav Yuryevich, Grozny-TV, when he noted the divine essence of the origin of the power of Kadyrov-Father and Putin. This is not forgotten, and now Ramzan Akhmatovich suddenly expresses his readiness to convey his post to Surkov.

Nevertheless, a scandal, since no one has canceled the constitution yet, and the unwritten rules of the game in politics in this sense are even stricter. For the leaders of the local administration of federal subordination are elected by the people, that is, Putin, and he recently signed the Decree "On Surkov V.Yu." Moreover, the decree is so irreparable that the unicorns and political scientists affected by them immediately lined up in the queue of Braz to Brack Surkova V.Yu. And suddenly such a reprimand is unexpected: speaking at a meeting with the editors of the Russian media, Ramzan Kadyrov reports that such a “strong specialist” as Surkov V.Yu., “we will never find anywhere.” Which, Ramzan reminds, he personally with a specialist "in the most difficult years united mutual understanding, as well as serving the people and the state." And he even shows his readiness to suffer for his freedom -loving speeches, but do not renounce friendship with the unemployed.

General Lebed shortly after he called Korzhakov “slandered Russian general,” was expelled from power with the carnival that was inherent in the era. “As the one, you understand, is the same, and this one! ..” - Boris Nikolayevich formulated the Brivery, signing a decree on Lebeda A.I. And also, probably, without comprehending that they could connect them, Toptuna and the commander. Kadyrov R.A. A similar fate in the foreseeable time will hardly befall.

The comparison is lame here. And this is not only about different destinies. Rather, about different times that determined the political fates of the two such inconsistent Chechen peacekeepers.

The Kremlin needed a swan, but in a sprint race. In order to provide Yeltsin's victory in the elections, and for Hasavyurt. True, after the conclusion of the world, the general became a figure of historical scale, the Russian de Gaulle, who stopped the colonialist massacre, but he behaved as if he had returned from the victorious war and was jealously waiting for the promised reward, and was expelled.

The Second Chechen War ended differently, and the people who personified the marvelous new world were, in principle, they were irremovable within the framework of ordinary personnel intrigues. Their dependence on the Kremlin was no more than the Kremlin’s dependence on them. So the question of who defeated in that war: Ichkeria or Russia was still not resolved by itself.

Therefore, Akhmat Kadyrov could afford a lot, including harsh showdowns with Russian generals. Therefore, Ramzan Kadyrov can afford literally everything. To deal with enemies everywhere where it wishes and overtakes. Urgently advising Putin to go to the third term, neglecting the basic law. Check for the strength of the boundaries of Ingushetia. As for the money, it is known to send them to Chechnya Allah, and this line in the local budget is the basis of the unequal agreement between Moscow and the formidable. This is a fee for peace, for victory, for defeat, for blood, for torture and abduction, for everything in the world.

And he can afford tactlessness. Surkova fired Putin, who in the conflict of Brutal Markin with a creative deputy prime minister chose the one that is more necessary, but Ramzan has a different opinion. Of course, he is not going to leave and does not see his successor in any Surkov, but considers himself obligated to support his friend in difficult times. This, among other things, is also useful for political purposes: to check, along with the Ingush, also the boundaries of their capabilities. Show the security forces with whom Ramzan has a difficult relationship, who is the main security officer in Russia. And even softly so, in a friendly manner to reproach the dear Vladimir Vladimirovich that he was in vain scattered by “strong specialists”. Opportunities, as before, are limitless, and if the dismissed Surkov, who already prudently refused to change Kadyrov in Chechnya, will not soon receive the prestigious and interesting work, then independent experts will be very surprised.

They will be more surprised only if Korzhakov returns.
