Munich dialect

On the one hand, an empty place. On the other hand, the second person in the state and the former president. In addition, Putin's closest associate. The image of Dmitry Medvedev-he is always some kind of elusive, like a ball when playing thimbles, which is why, when the prime minister, the prime minister sometimes arise mutually exclusive feelings: boredom and excitement. Dmitry Anatolyevich itself does not seem to mean anything, but we remember how he sang freedom. Timidly, but sung. Such memories in the era of frosts warm the soul.

Therefore, its rare appearance in the international arena and speech dedicated to international politics are still interesting. It is clear that he mainly broadcasts the thoughts of the national leader who sent him. However, these thoughts are once again useful to hear in order to be more clearly aware of what is happening, and in the retelling of Medvedev they can sound differently. For Dmitry Anatolyevich, not representing anything, still represents some part of the Russian elites, which are scared by the isolationist course of the president and the collapse of the economy as a result of this course. By the way, the extreme in case of disaster has long been appointed Medvedev’s office, and this brings a special intrigue to his relationship with Putin.

So, following Patriarch Kirill, the Kremlin’s special removal and trying to somehow proceed the soil in the West, the Russian prime minister also probably did not forget about himself. About his future, if a card falls out, as in 2008, but under other circumstances. And about its reputation, no matter how funny this word sounds in relation to the ex-president today. However, against the backdrop of Vladimir Vladimirovich, even Medvedev looks encouraging and probably guesses about it.

He began a harshly, on the eve of the visit to Munich, informing the Handelsblatt correspondent that if the American and our Arab partners, the world war could begin in Syria. True, he immediately recovered, pointing to the viscous nature of the Middle Eastern conflict, where "everyone is fighting against all." That is, he made it clear that Russia in response to bomb Er-Riyad or Washington there is likely there, but he considered it worthwhile to remind about the third world. It turned out that Dmitry Anatolyevich is also not shy and phrases, unthinkable even in Soviet times, easily pronounces.

And then there was Munich, where he recorded the offensive of the Cold War and expressed support to the Syrian people and its leaders-the late Asada-Father and Assada-Suna, who is a legally chosen president. And if it is overthrown, it will be like in Libya, which Medvedev ranked to Middle Eastern countries. The Syrian theme was the main thing in the negotiations, and the positions of the parties were marked extremely clearly.

The purpose of Russia was to continue the bombing. Accompanied by a humanitarian catastrophe in the region and the flows of refugees, threatening the collapse of the European Union. Moscow offered to exchange bombing for the rejection of sanctions. A ground operation against the Syrian regime, which threatened the West, and his Arab allies, who was losing patience, contradicted this plan. Therefore, Medvedev in his Munich speeches continued to scare the gathered in the world war, and on other issues he spoke mainly with the inability that is characteristic of his senior tandem partner. As for the Crimea, for example, since "the question is closed forever." Or about the decision on the murder of Litvinenko. Then the hero of the day for a long time and passionately reported “a certain judge in retired”, which in his “report”, according to Dmitry Anatolyevich, “almost every section and paragraph” began with the word Probably. Although this word is mentioned in the text of the solution only episodically and in terms of conclusions refers to two defendants in the case - Putin and Patrushev. It does not apply to direct killers. Apparently, the assistants did not inform the prime minister inaccurately, but it will hardly be punished for this. In the end, Medvedev expressly expressed his solidarity with the suspect President.

And Dmitry Anatolyevich showed personal qualities, moods and feelings, answering other questions. Sometimes quite human feelings, again, if you know them in comparison. So, reflecting aloud about the fate of Boris Nemtsov, he spoke about the "real tragedy", about the "crime that should be investigated", since the "reputation of Russian justice and the state" at the stake. Disagreeing that things are arting in Russia in compliance with human rights and freedom of speech, Medvedev considered it necessary to explain that the TV almost did not watch. And “on the Internet, as you know, there is no regulation at all ... no,” the prime minister pleased the interlocutor. And although the assistants again clearly set him up, he expressed his attitude towards the zombie. Distant, one might say. Even in a veiled form.

Well, to the question about sanctions, Dmitry Anatolyevich answered as taught, but at the same time in his unique style. “We need to get courage and say,” he called to Western partners. “You know, guys, we are completing all this with such and such a number and ask you to suspend the response measures.” And if the “guys” had not struck the hearts after endlessly long showdowns with his cartridge, they could hear a dreary, mournful note in Medvedev’s words. Or even a scream for help. After all, no matter how much the prime minister repeats after the president of the mantra about the benefits of sanctions for healing the economy, he knows the price of this healing in the North Korean samples. As well as I repeat, that he will be reduced for economic successes during the sanctions war with the West with his ministers. Not Putin will be declared guilty of everything.

Nevertheless, Medvedev played his role, drumming his speech. Furora did not produce, and this must be for the better. The splash here produced Vladimir Vladimirovich nine years ago, but since then it was customary to account for the insoluble conflicts of Russia with the West. And Dmitry Anatolyevich, leaving Munich, again took this insoluble secret with him. On the one hand, an empty place. On the other hand, the second person in the state and the former president. Who is he, explain? True, there is almost no way to solve the secret of the hunters, but he does not beg. If you do not want - do not solve it, but freedom is still better than that’s all.
