In the Kremlin

Prime Minister as a plum tool

December 17, 2014 Dmitry Oreshkin

By golly, it hurts to look. The performance of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev makes a miserable impression. The part dedicated to the economy is frankly stupid - as if Academician Glazyev wrote it. The part dedicated to politics is frankly defeated (in the terminology of Prokhanov-Girkin)-as if the authorities chose it to report that the Novorossiya is merged and the Kremlin is ready to exchange it for the “Crimean”. The part dedicated to propaganda (this, in fact, is almost the entire text), even more stupid economic - as if addressed to Markov with Tretyakov.

For the enhancing effect, they connected the speaking head of Sergei Lavrov, who authoritatively confirmed: yes, “Moscow is the only force advocating the preservation of the Donbass in Ukraine ...”. In short, big hello to the Donetsk fighters for spiritual scrapers. In this situation, nothing but the Ukrainian tribunal is shining. Tick, rather tick ...

Let's go around the point by point.

“Only a year - and from that close country ... There were only memories” ... a worthy epitaph for a wise vertical strategy in the post -Soviet space. Only two years, as she gathered on a campaign for the return of Ukraine to the Customs and Emansky Union-and here is such an incredible progress. Not to mention the restoration of customs between the Russian Federation and Belarus.

“Dneprges (for Ukraine ??) was built by the forces of the whole country ” ... Again, the case when it is better to chew than to say: the water station on the Dnieper thresholds was designed under the bloody royal regime in 1912 and was planned for the input in 1920. If it were not for the Bolsheviks in St. Petersburg and Moscow, the Dneproges without noise, dust and propaganda screams would be erected, well, a maximum of 1925. And so first of all opened only in 1935, the second in 1939. And they also blame Ukraine for all -Union help!

The propaganda bike, that as a result (??) the efforts of the whole Soviet country, Ukraine became “one of the most developed republics” , the prime minister repeats as a self -evident truth. Even for politeness, not trying to figure out where the republic would have been today, when the proletarian Kremlin would not drag it through the revolutionary terror, the civil war, emigration, collectivization, and the Holodomor, which claimed at least 5 million lives to the circle. Not to mention another geostrategic genius, the predecessor of Vladimir Putin, who, as a result of subtle games with Hitler (to launch a hedgehog into the pants of Great Britain), received the most bloody and destructive slaughterhouse in the history of mankind precisely in his (not last Ukrainian!) Territory. What again this land cost at least 5 million people plus (more precisely, minus) post -war hunger, an iron curtain and another cycle of repression.

“The amount of Russian investments, preferential loans, deliveries on preferential terms far exceeded a hundred billion dollars. Only at the expense of low gas prices, Ukraine saved more than $ 82.7 billion. ” It is implied: that’s what the bastards are ungrateful! And it reads - in the traditions of hard Putin's humor - strictly the opposite. Have you heard the assistant to US Secretary of State Victoria Nuland in April that America since 1991 has invested 5 billion in the development of Ukrainian democracy? Still specifically specifying that they did not invest money in the preparation of the Maidan - what caused a storm of fun among Putin patriots: what about cookies?!

Okay, be in your opinion. Suppose they, bastards, all these 5 billion purposefully invested just in the preparation of the Maidan. We already know them, Pindos, how peeled we know! You won’t spend us! .. Okay. Since you are so piercing, purely specifically compare the effectiveness of two projects. What geopolitical talents should be possessed in order to put in the case “for a hundred billion dollars”, as a result, to miss a neighbor with a three -hundred -year history of loyalty to the overseas competitor, who paid twenty times less?!

Excessive proof that democracy and freedom are more natural (and therefore more effective) of any vertical inventions. Somehow I can’t believe that Dmitry Medvedev intends to justify this thesis. But it turned out so - and quite convincing.

Hence the question: to whom did he generally address his complaint stories? No one except the audience of federal television channels will believe him. They, however, will not believe either - for they believe Putin from the last forces. But who else can you count on statements like: “The Russian side (in relations with Ukraine) has never used the economic factor to solve any political issues” ? Certainly not on the world media - they have not yet forgotten about winter Gazprom games with a tap. They know about dispossession, and about the Dnieper, and about hunger in 1946-1948, during the so-called quick-war up of the socialist economy against the background of the deepening general crisis of capitalism.

Such an unpretentious bullshit can only work in the audience with a depth of communicative memory for no more than six months. The fact that the bosses sincerely (and, I must admit, not quite groundlessly) hold us for idiots is not news. In this case, something else is more interesting: if the premiere speeches are intended for internal use, then do we deal with such a classic of the genre as public repentance, recognition of mistakes and a promise to atone for the death of vigilance? As well as a merciless struggle against various kinds of manifestations-accelerations such as "freedom is better than not free."

Then - in accordance with the laws of the genre - it is clear why it was precisely for him that he was instructed to inform the unpleasant news of the drain of “New Russia”. To a heap with other liberal delusions, let him now answer for it. Medvedev (like many of his predecessors on this mournful path) submitted. In the weak hope that a flock of comrades will appreciate loyalty and will allow you to steer another year or two. Alas, he weakly knows not only the economic and political history of the Fatherland, but also the history of the genre: this kind of strained revelations serve as a black mark for their authors. Also, due to pragmatic considerations: once he repented, it means that he was incapable of independent politics. Since it is still incapable of, then what's the difference, who will take his place? The other boxes are exactly the same.

And here you are, sorry, comrade, nothing personal! - The heavy but honorary lot of honor was sacrificed to the harsh god of lifting from the knees. Take the next bunch of stupid things and crimes committed by senior management to the personal hump and oblivion.

The working people must have an explanation why, with an absolutely true and steady course in the party and government to build a bright future, it becomes more terrible to live, more and more enemies, and money and goods - vice versa! So come on, nits, on a good way! Do not remember dashing there, on Kolyma ...

It is clear that in current humanitarian times the plot will not be so straightforward. But it is unlikely that the good, in fact, is easier for the person and specialist Dmitry Medvedev. The perverted world of the vertical is terrible and terrible that it first turns good and shallow people from nature into panties, scoundrels and fools, and then (with unnecessary - who needs them?!) Spit on a bloody clot on the rails, with a ringing steel thread tightly stretched on the victorious path to gaping heights.

The prime minister’s attempt to cling to the foot of the train that goes into the great past is sympathetic. He was really good in humanly. I did not want evil to anyone; I tried to honestly work for the good of the state. Simply, like all the workers of the vertical, quickly lost the ability to distinguish the Fatherland from your Excellency and the people from the state.

Hence the clear conclusion: on the agenda vertical salvation is precisely his Excellency. The Fatherland, along with the population-the devil with them, will somehow be trampled; Do not get used to it. Hopes at least for rationalization (there is no need to talk about liberalization for a long time!) Foreign and domestic policy is purely illusory. As, by the way, the deliberate horrors before the “Putin-imperialist”, which are allegedly ready to put the stomach on the altar “collecting land of Russians”, are illusory and inflated by part of the liberal intelligentsia.

He is not ready anything. That is, on occasion, of course, with pleasure - but only without risk and free. And a little thing smells of real threats to his clan or personal security and prosperity - so sorry!

Since the real threats of the authorities, personal security and the well -being of Vladimir Putin are generated today sooner than outside, there is reason to expect a deeper cleaning of elites, enhanced screwing of nuts and the restoration of the iron curtain.

And "Novorossia" - yes, hell with her! There was a Kremlin vertical for almost 15 years without it - and yet, God will give, how much it would be simple. The gut was thin to win Ukraine. Therefore, it remains to take revenge on her because she chose a more modern and sensible way of development.

That's the whole vertical geopolitics.
