Now it’s not some kind of Ulyukaev or Siluani, and Putin himself calls on subjects to prepare for a protracted period of low energy prices. And this means - to the deterioration of well -being, increasing the cost of life, unemployment, social disasters, and regional conflicts. All that will now make up the content of his inglorious and mediocre rule.
All previous years, the Putin’s presidency had a completely different meaning - at least from a propaganda point of view. He was the president who ended the protracted war in the Caucasus. The victorious terrorism. Having increased the standard of living of their fellow citizens - even in exchange for democratic rights and freedoms, which most of the society readily refused to exchange conditional satiety and conditional security.
It was possible to prove as much as possible to the ordinary Russian that the ruling elites themselves provoked the war in the Caucasus and the terror, that so much from the Russian budget would have been sneaked that there would be a few more GDPs, that the very character of the country's raw material economy was not changed, the majority were all the same. The majority had Egypt, an increase in salaries and pensions, the ability to buy what it was impossible to dream about before - and Putin. President of Russian victories.
His last “victory” was brazenly shaken by the Ukrainians of Crimea, which allowed to finally turn the Russian society in a chauvinistic herd that had still had a chance for civilized development. And then everything went wrong: universal contempt, the expulsion from the club leaders of the modern world, sanctions - and oil! So as he was failed by the nurse oil, no one still failed him. It seemed that nature itself takes revenge on him for indifference to human lives and suffering, for ignorance and arrogance, for violence against Russia, for the rape of Donbass ...
Without this reputation, which had been involved for him, he could no longer. His plane was shot down over Turkey - and spat in the face, turning for help to NATO, and not for forgiveness to him, invincible and proud. The sanctions against his estate only intensified after he spent four hours on some kind of Secretary of State! And oil! She is falling all the time!
So from the president of victories, he finally became president of defeats, a loser calling to prepare for the worst. But this is not the final at all. Because this president of defeats still believes that Fortune will again turn to him to face him, that the miracle will correct everything, that oil will rise in price, the sanctions will be canceled, and Ukraine - and it would be nice to Turkey - will disappear from the political map. And then he will again become the president of victories.
The day will come when both he and - most importantly - his puppeteers will understand that this will never happen.
And then from the president of defeats he will become the president of shocks.
Great shocks of Russia.
