Putin finally turned into a real dictator. With limitless power and equally unlimited conceit, multiplied by boundless irresponsibility. He can start wars, he can end wars. In his will to bring up the economy, in his will - to drive it like a hungry horse. By clicking his fingers, he can fill the shops with Turkish goods and allow small entrepreneurship. But it can return the Soviet Union, in the sense of the queue and the deficit, which, in fact, has already done to a large extent. He can sit in one of the first capitals of the world, but maybe, like Nero, to burn her to hell. Or blow up with "Ryazan sugar." He can declare something that will make many be covered with cold later and hurry to wool the classics in search of ideological reinforcement. And a day later - something exactly the opposite. Language without bones! It doesn't surprise anyone anymore. My satisfaction is due to the fact that, most likely, the dictator Putin is moving to the finale of his evolution. It will be only a monument to the size of a multi-storey building, which grateful peoples will also someday disassemble to bricks ...

The last incorporate incident occurred at a meeting of the Council on Science and Education and is associated with diving around the name of Lenin.

In general, this is not the main thing that was on the council. However, leisure to the sensations to the public was remembered by picking. Moreover, it turned out not from any fundamental disagreements between the subjects lying in ashes and shining high in the sky by the national leader, but from a pure communication defect between the parties of the relationship.

The essence of history lies, apparently, that high-living subjects from the previously defeated Academy of Sciences wanted to know from the king, which will continue to be financing the survivors. And hint that it would be nice to do this specifically to the king. To a great extent those present took anxiety and accumulated irritation from the incident of command-administrative arbitrariness, which only sought political correct forms of expression. But due to the fact that the petitioners took up their complaints too flowering - through the quoting of the rather dark poet of the poet Pasternak - it did not work out very well for them. They received an answer not about science, but about the guilt of Lenin in the collapse of the Soviet Union. Although, it would seem, what does Lenin have to do with it? He did not create a fan.

Corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Mikhail Kovalchuk was substituted. He did not find anything better than for the beauty of speech to combine the question of whether Putin is going to take some reasonable managerial steps in connection with the crisis of budget financing and the loss of Russian fundamental science from the world trend, with a quote from the anti-Soviet Pasternak from 1928.

You know, Kovalchuk began from afar, Pasternak has a short poem “High illness”, where he analyzes the October Revolution and at the end says such a thing about Lenin: “Then, when he saw him, he thought, he thought about his authorship and the right to dare from the first person.” And why? Because "he ruled the leather of thought and only because - the country."

And he explained, in case someone did not understand: “We must find organizations that must control the course of thought in specific directions, and this can be done only by initiative these organizations, if any, and help them administratively.” That is, to give them money, in short.

Here we must, apparently, exhale the air and imagine what the poet Pasternak initially had in mind, what the correspondent of RAS Kovalchuk had in mind, quoting Pasternak, and what President Putin had in mind, which reacted exclusively to the mention of Lenin.

The fact is that Pasternak himself, who for a long time and secretly wrote “Dr. Zhivago” and gave the unlucky doctor his experiences about the post -revolutionary being, was certainly no Lenin. However, in 1928, remaining a respected Soviet writer, he could not declare this directly. At the same time, he could not even stop thinking about the fate of the state, built exclusively by the "tuky thought." In the literal sense of the word of a patient, cautious brain.

Pasternak ended his poem as if loyally against the leader, recognizing his right to “dare”. But he brought the author’s assessment of “management” to the so -called open finale, leaving a fork in interpretations. Pasternak “thought for a long time”, but what he came up with, fearing communist censorship, he did not say to the reader. Which, however, does not bother us, after 100 years after October, with the full basis to calculate: Lenin, apparently, had no right to Lenin’s right. And the writer, who wrote “Dr. Zhivago”, understood this perfectly.

For the state, built by the "teetah of thought" of a mentally unhealthy person, was unlikely to stretch for a long time.

Quoting Pasternak in the face of a person who also controls the “Techno of Thoughts” and approximately with the same results - for an unknown reason, he ruined the three -hundred -year Academy of Sciences, and then he even quarreled the country with the whole civilized world - Kovalchuk, of course, risked greatly. Despite the fact that Putin, oddly enough,, unlike the quoting, understood the original quote “Correctly”. “It is only important that this thought leads to the desired result, and not like Vladimir Ilyich,” Vladimir Vladimirovich muttered quite rightly. Perhaps even peering into yourself.

The consequences of this dive at a meeting of the Council on Science and Education, as you know, are paradoxical.

The quote given by Kovalchuk did not reach Putin's heart, but hooked completely different strings. And no matter how they climbed the president of the academicians, Putin voiced the intention to reduce the state support of the academy ... by 90%. In any case, all this understood that way.

“However, one and a half hundred, 150 are only 10 percent of all state educational and scientific organizations,” said the effective manager. -Of course, the question arises: where are the rest, how are things there, how do they work? I emphasize that the resources that are allocated for science should receive strong research teams that can create breakthrough technologies in the most important areas for the country, compete with leading world centers. It is in this logic that it is necessary to build financing of work on the priorities of the country's scientific and technological development. ”

In turn, the Communists, who always carefully and jealously listen to the president, were not offended by the Academy and not so much, probably offended by Lenin, accused by Putin of laying an atomic bomb under the USSR, how many were frightened, that the national leader will move to liberals. And at the same time, the state support and their system communists will cut down-also based on the criteria of any effectiveness. And what is the effectiveness of the Communist Party? It is incomprehensible. So it is not surprising that the relevant statements were immediately made.

Klaka of the “guardians” did not stand aside, which, no matter what Putin said, only deepens and complements his sayings. They understood Putin so that it was necessary to hastily develop the theory of national betrayal and harmful foreign agents, approaching already to a completely saint - to Vladimir Ilyich. Without thinking twice, they wrote off the collapse of the USSR on him, and at the same time Yugoslavia with Czechoslovakia, which, of course, was an obvious bust and not very fair. Moreover, in the Posoputinsky Donetsk, the signal was to deal with the traitors and put into action: the pedestal under the monument to Ilyich was immediately blew up .

At first, an article about Lenin , Putin and the USSR, in a sense, protecting Lenin from the Posoputinsky jackals, I proposed to the chief editor of the patriotic “free press” Sergey Shargunov-to educate his left audience tolerance. He, usually more democratic in professional terms, said: no, we decided not to deal with this topic. And how he looked into the water. In less than two days, Putin softened and again confirmed the commitment to the “left turn”, calming the audience . “I really liked and still like communist and socialist ideas,” he said to an asset of the Popular Front, who probably had already watched the BBC film about his inconspicuous wealth. However, in the main thing, however, he remained unchanged: he will also control the leak of thought, but not the wrong Lenin leather of thought, but the right - pragmatic, Stalinist*. And, yes, do you feel how the hearts of all Russian patriots were clogged again?

*By the way, one of my American friend (from emigrants until 1991) for some reason also expressed satisfaction that Putin, as he himself confirmed, ceases to be a Lenin and becomes a Stalin. This means that he believes with hope that Putin will no longer climb west with world design, but will calmly rot in his area (zone of national interests), gradually weak. That they are quite like in the West. Why did he get it?
