His public business

Vladimir Putin always insisted on his right to private life. He did not want to come to terms with the persistent curiosity of the press and the public, did not understand this interest, considered him unhealthy. And, as he knew how to protect his privacy from the paparazzi-"those who, with some kind of influenza nose and with their erotic fantasies, climb into someone else's life."

This irritation largely explains his hostility to the independent press. It seemed to him that control over the main media of the country reliably protects him, forms the desired image of a courageous, strong leader. But serving television turned his life into a reality show, where all profanity, all a staging. How much have we saw over the years of the Kremlin audiences, when the minister cheerfully reports to the president under the lenses of cameras about the struggle with fires or the locust, and the president gives wise instructions - who will believe that this is all for real, that they are not working for the picture? The tension, unnaturalness of the interlocutors was striking. And white threads climbed from each frame.

He tried to satisfy interest in his personal life with stories about his dog’s personal life and official reporting reports, of which one was especially remembered, where the president and his wife are in a deliberately poor interior with an old TV, dressed in some orphaned either pajamas, or tracksuits of the same mouse color, as in an almighty of “twelve stools”, and and twelve stools, and Take part in the census.

"J'Ai la malHeur d'QUTRE un Homme Publique et vous savez que c'est pire que d'Que une femme Publique" (I have the misitrior to be a public person, and you know that it is worse than being a public woman), "Pushkin said Pushkin) Vladimir Sollogubu and went to shoot with Dantes.

Putin was tormented for a long time and finally admitted yesterday: he is a public man, "but there are people who are completely incompatible with this", for example, Lyudmila Alexandrovna. And so they part.

An amazing occasion. Are they divorced for such a reason? They know better.

For some reason, I do not want to ironize on this occasion. Although it is a sin to repeat one joke: someone wrote on Facebook yesterday that Putins decided to hurry up so as not to pay a divorce tax that deputy Mizulin’s deputy for strengthening for strengthening. Here you have a family strengthening.

In fact, the audience is convinced that they did not hurry, but rather terribly dragged on the decision. And both yesterday experienced relief.

Especially Lyudmila. She really, in the apt expression of the ex -spouse, "defended the shift." From her words, we know a lot about this marriage. In the book of Putin’s biographer Oleg Blotsky, she says that she never made decisions, “she always obeyed the wishes of Vladimir Vladimirovich” that he never helped her at home, that she had never heard her praise and finally hated the kitchen ... to this day she was tormented by a random passer-by trying to get acquainted with her or it was her or this The Boyfrand from the KGB sent a "test" to her. And then he justifies him: "I did not consider it immoral to check people in such a situation. After all, it was necessary to somehow find out the moral principles of a person. Who knows, maybe after marriage I will get to know the first person on the street."

And he, according to the German acquaintance of Putin Irene Pich, once said that he who could live with his wife for three weeks should erect a monument. Maybe joked. He loves sexist jokes and is not at all shy.

The last Russian ruler, who officially divorced, was Peter I. 315 years ago, he forcibly tonsured his first wife Evdokia Lopukhin. “Terem -pupil,” said Sergey Solovyov, “had no moral influence on the young hero who was torn into a completely different world; Evdokia Fedorovna could not follow him and was constantly abandoned for her beloved. The fee was cooled, the complaints of separation were annoyed. But this was little; Peter was advanced to the German settlement, where he saw the first The beauty of the Sloboda, Anna Mons, the daughter of the wine merchant, is easy to understand how Poor Evdokia Fedorovna should have lost in the eyes of Peter in comparison with the scornful German, who was accustomed to the Society of Men, how he was greeted: my crap, Peter Alekseevich!

The Soviet leaders have never been divorced: Nadezhda and Vladimir, Nina and Nikita, Victoria and Leonid, Konstantin and ... however, as the wives of Konstantin and Yuri were called, I don’t know and is unlikely when I saw them. And Mikhail and Boris turned out to be monogamous, although just with them among the highest dignitaries came into fashion to get divorced and marry young. In 1998, when I entered the work in the Izvestia newspaper, I was given the question of the questionnaire, where the column was "marital status", and in the item "Divorced/A" there was: "The reason for the divorce of the Party is known." But there was no longer any party committee.

In general, the first -person divorce is clear progress. I would like to wish the former spouses success in work and happiness in their personal lives. For some reason, everyone is sure that it is not far off. Maybe now this face shakes and all of us what kind of indulgence will come out. Yes, and the deputy of Mizulin will cease to fight so zealously for family values. No one has yet succeeded in coming by legislative means.
