Candidate for whipping

On TV, they show the half -naked Tsarev. He is in some pants with an unbuttoned upper button. He is beaten, bruised. He says that all the outerwear from him was "cut with a knife."

This time he was beaten in Kyiv. Before that, they beat in Odessa and Nikolaev. Some strange presidential tour in the genre of tragifars. It seems to be already funny, but not funny, of course. What to do with this Tsarev - no one knows. Even he himself. Either slurred teams give him, or he does not hear them well. In Lugansk, this person, registered in presidents, states that "in no case should you hold elections, because" in today's conditions when they shoot peaceful people-what can be the choice? "He also claims that" the southeast has already made his choice: he needs autonomy from illegitimate Kyiv authorities. "How will these authorities become legitimate if the tsar and the company are in every possible way to break off the elections that are actually, which are actually, which are actually And they must endow them with this legitimacy, completely incomprehensible.

At the same time, the Tsarev himself stubbornly retains the candidate! Even now - naked, beaten, tortured, he still declares: I will continue to fight for the presidency. Hero, of course. But how can you participate in the elections with one foot, and the other to flood them in every possible way - again, it is unclear.

And Moscow, too, does not understand very well what to do with this of her Tsarev. Some other Yanukovych on her head. She, on the one hand, was welcoming him, on the one hand. He, from the same side, did all the Anti -Maidan weather, was almost the only paint in the Ukrainian Palette of opinions presented on federal Russian channels. Now he was leaving for the presidency for the elections, which Moscow herself is trying to make inferior, illegitimate, soaking and laughing all the candidates who participate in them. But the same seems to be their own, socially close! How do you soak it?

Hence the throwing.

In the "Vesti" on April 11, they say about the Tsariev’s visit to Donetsk: "People who arrived in Donetsk, people met in Donetsk, met warmly - not at all like in Odessa." Then, apparently, according to common sense that not one , even his presidential candidate can be met by the people, the legend is changed.

Two days later, on April 13, in Vesti of the week the same visit to the same Tsarev to the same Donetsk is interpreted in a completely different way: "He is accepted here without much enthusiasm. He says that he is ready to drop out of the presidential race and lead folk resistance, but the people perceive it as a political PR."

In fact, this Moscow perceives the promise of Tsarev as a political PR, it ceased to trust him, so she has washed. But now, when he is already beaten already strongly, - again sighed. Its, unhappy, swollen, in bruises and bruises, can again be used again. You can carry these frames around the world: this is how Ukrainian voters treat their candidates. Barbaras. Savages. What people - they have such elections.

No, an amazing person. On the one hand, it is completely meaningless. On him, Moscow cannot be made a real bet, as on Yanukovych. And on the other hand, no matter what absurdity will happen to him, but everything is in the cashier. Here is the difference from Yanukovych, who is already completely worked out, is still preserved.
