Playwright Putin

Dmitry Kiselev for some reason began his advertisement for the film about Crimea with Andrei Babitsky. He said that he was fired from Radio Liberty. Fired for the truth. And so our radio will not like this film. Because it has a continuous truth.

I was surprised twice. Firstly, Andrei broke up from the radio six months ago. But they inform their audience about him about the same way as for some time about Vladimir Putin - with a large temporary delay. The principle of canned food seems to apply to all information in a row. It is true that canned food is rotting from the head.

Secondly, why did he decide that we would not like the film? For all the radio, of course, I can’t answer, but she had fun terribly. The fact is that on the eve of the film author Andrei Kondrashov said that Vladimir Putin became his film, the playwright.

And he did not fail! He told the stunning story of how Yanukovych left the chase of the Russian special services. No, in words, Putin claimed the exact opposite. That they saved the life of Yanukovych. But I propose to listen to his speech more carefully.

Events, according to Putin, developed like this. Yanukovych called him on the evening of February 21, 2014. He said that he wanted to go to Kharkov for a regional conference. Putin advised him not to leave the capital. He did not answer anything definite. Then he called and said that he still decided to go - that is, pay attention, Putin did not obey. And then the Ukrainian opposition seized the presidential administration, Putin continues to tell. And then on February 22, Yanukovych called him again, already from Kharkov, they say, he wants to meet, talk. Putin said he was ready. Where is it more convenient for you? Putin asked.

But we do not know what Yanukovych answered. For some reason, Putin does not report this. It seems that Yanukovych calls Putin, but does not want to meet him at all. Why then calls? It is incomprehensible.

While Yanukovych is pulling with a meeting, Putin becomes clear that "he is preparing his physical elimination." For the reason that "there is no person - there is no problem." So Putin interprets the plans of those who committed a coup d'etat. "And the subsequent development of events confirmed this." Here Putin for some reason is not good, in Fantomasovsky laughs.

Then they tell us that on February 22, Yanukovych left Kharkov and called Vladimir Putin already from Donetsk and again as if with a request for a meeting.

- I already suggested - let's meet in Rostov! - says Putin. - So that you do not lose time for flights. I am ready to fly myself.

And that - you will not believe - again in any. He says we have problems, we cannot fly out.

Here I have a question like a viewer. Why does Yanukovych always offer Putin a meeting if he is not going to go to them? Maybe he does not offer them at all?

And in the meantime, Putin, unlike the trouble-free Yanukovych, understands that "something extraordinary." “They already shot him on his motorcade,” Putin tells us. “They shot at the Prosecutor General Pshonka. The coup was already committed. And the operation to capture and destruction began.”

Putin understands all this, but the stupid Yanukovych does not understand this. And then, they tell us, "the leaders of the four power structures of Russia receive an order to save the life of the President of Ukraine. At the same time, Yanukovych with the opposite task was looking for a number of other special services" (which ones, for some reason, is not specified) . “After an unsuccessful attempt to fly out of Donetsk, the motorcade of the President of Ukraine disappeared. His motorcade seemed to dissolve in the vastness of Eastern Ukraine,” the orders of voice tells us.

The complete impression that Yanukovych began his run from the Russian special services! Listen to the further dialogue of Kondrashov and Putin.

Kondrashov: He escaped from Donetsk and went, not knowing where?

Putin: He went to Crimea. But when they showed me a map of his movement ...

Kondrashov: Have you seen the route of his movement?

Crimea becomes Russian, and Yanukovych explains that there is nothing more to catch there. And what is the difference for him where to serve imprisonment

Putin: He called. Our radion -observation services essentially began to conduct his motorcade. Each time we recorded his location. But when they showed me the card, it became clear that he would soon stumble upon an ambush. Moreover. According to our data, large -caliber machine guns were delivered there. And we brought to his security officers information that they cannot move further. Everything was carried out by open communication, and we ourselves used it to understand where it was, but before we calculated it in the territory with the help of technical means, we did not understand where he was. Therefore, we prepared to remove it directly from Donetsk. By land. ( Saluative pause.) By sea. ( Pause.) And from the air.

Did you understand something from this chaotic monologue? Yanukovych calls them on the phone. Open connection. But they still do not understand where he is. And they are forced to "calculate" it using all kinds of technical means. And in general they think that he is in Donetsk! How is it possible? Only if, in fact, Yanukovych runs from them! And does not call at all. And it does not tell them anything about himself.

Kondrashov: That is, you were given the commands of different departments to prepare for the salvation of Yanukovych?

Putin: Yes. Since he had already left Donetsk far from Donetsk, the boats needed a lot of time, five or six hours to approach the shore.

Kondrashov: Have you told them to approach the shore?

Putin: Yes. They turned around. We gave them instructions where to go to the shore, to the motorcade and sent a helicopter group. With a special forces detachment on board.

Poor, poor Yanukovych. He had no chance to get away from the Putin pursuit. We continue to listen to the film. I do not change a word.

Receisor: The search lasted about an hour and a half. Inspection from the air of tens of kilometers of the coastline did not give results. The pilots had no connection with Yanukovych’s motorcade, and the adjutant of the Ukrainian president called in despair in the Kremlin ( Haha. So we believed them ).

Putin: And at some point it became clear that the helicopter ends with kerosene, and they need to leave.

Record: Helicopters were about to go to the U -turn when they suddenly saw a flash in the distance. This motorcade simultaneously turned on the highlight, indicating their location.

Kondrashov: How did they guess it?!

Putin: They prompted them.

Kondrashov: That is, again you prompted?!

Putin: Of course. Their pilots noticed and took away. But this did not end. Because Viktor Fedorovich did not want to move to Russia and immediately asked to send him to the Crimea. And he left for the Crimea. And only a few days later, when it became clear that there was no one to negotiate in Kiev ( here Putin is not good, in an unmotivated one), he asked, and we took him to the territory of Russia.

How not to be delighted with this story? On the desert roads of Ukraine, air, sea and ground special forces of the Russian Federation are chasing Viktor Yanukovych. He is trying to get away from the chase, but the forces are unequal. They grab it and try to take it to Russia. But Yanukovych begs to leave him in the Crimea. For several days in the free Ukrainian Crimea, this is the last mercy that Vladimir Putin gives Yanukovych. Then the Crimea becomes Russian, and Yanukovych explains that there is nothing more to catch there. And what is the difference to him where to serve imprisonment. Putin is calmer when Yanukovych is side by side, otherwise you look, again he will whistle without demand in Kharkov or Donetsk, then run after him with tanks, guns and helicopters.

Why did they need to urgently isolate Yanukovych? Well, about the whole further film about this: so that it does not interfere with the operation of the Crimea operation quickly. What no, but the president. And it is necessary that there is no. There is no president - there is no problem, all according to Putin's playwright of the playwright.
