Savchenko and death

What happened, why happened, a forecast. The basics of political journalism. Suppose Putin killed why he killed, who would be to kill further. These are the strict standards set by the profession, everything else is from the evil one, that is, literature. Emotions are banned, emotions harm analytics.

Therefore, the plots are incomplete, with a deferred ending and slurred consequences, it is better to leave for later. When the situation clears up and you can try to comprehend what is happening using a template scheme. Better to wait.

So to write about the hope of Savchenko today, now, at that moment it seems pointless. For tomorrow, in an hour or ten minutes later, the situation may change. In that direction, not in this or this. For the better, for the worst or irreparable.

But the trouble is: to postpone "for later" this topic somehow does not work. Although other stories in bulk. Just all other events, albeit not for long, as if lost relevance. It is difficult to concentrate on them, forgetting about the fate of the political prisoner who, last Thursday, declared a dry hunger strike. And when on Sunday you read on the news that Savchenko is “now in a satisfactory condition”, you cannot think about anything else, as this surprisingly good news. Not a sip of water from Thursday, but the state of health of the starving local diagnosticians satisfies.

What happened, why happened, a forecast. The forecast is impossible, however, to talk about what is happening, and here the plot breaks up into parts. There is a human dimension, and there is politics.

In the state that is built in Russia in the zero years, a person is almost always an object of history. A victim of circumstances. Regardless of whether he is in prison for stole all oil, or rage on a television screen, cursing the national traitors. The maximum that is allowed to him is to stern healing your two -steps and dozen and go free to the living. There are many, if we compare those who are serving their terms, with those who trample a large zone, exhausted from devotion to the leader. However, the third, as they say, is not given.

Savchenko’s case is unique in that she did not want to play according to the rules proposed in the Kremlin. “I am not the subject of bargaining,” the hostage said last Wednesday and a day later announced a deadly hunger strike. This is a real tragedy for everyone who is connected with related bonds, for millions of people in Ukraine and all over the world, compassioning the prisoner. But this is probably not too happy with the so -called Putin.

In fact, how can he trade a hostage and set a price if it perishes?

The court of the deputy PACE is an impeccable example of Russian lawlessness in the international arena, and Savchenko’s behavior in this trial is a symbol of fearless resistance to an unkind evil

The technique successfully tested on other people gives a failure, and this is a real problem. It is clear that the conditions set by Savchenko are immediate liberation or death - are impossible for him, but what's next? Or is he still ready to kill her, deliberately exacerbating the relationship with Ukraine and the West and going to start a new war in the east after the next beat of the glasses in the Russian embassy in Kyiv? Will be used forced feeding? Savchenko will try to break, and the “RT” with Aram Ashotych will show us exclusive personnel, how did the filmmakers from the GB distribute videos about the life of the exiled academician in the Gorky Hospital? It brought nothing but a outrageous disgrace, and it will not bring it today.

It is clear what happened. No need to explain why. Only the future, the closest, is absolutely unpredictable, and since it is about life and death, the whole plot can hardly lend itself to comment.

For the score went on the days, hours, minutes, and any forecast can instantly become senseless, be late, become obsolete. But to write today, the heart is nothing more. For some reason, the most topical topics faded against the background of this one of this life threatening to break, and it’s not even a secret why it happened. Why the fate of one person named Nadezhda Savchenko gained a world scale.

Just in her, in her desperate confrontation with the Russian power, everything suddenly agreed. Both politics with diplomacy and Anschlus with the war, which from Donbass spread to the Middle East, and there it may well develop into the third world. The court, who converts the deputy PACE, serves as an impeccable example of Russian lawlessness in the international arena, and Savchenko’s behavior in this trial is a symbol of fearless resistance to an unkind evil. There, in Donetsk, the Rostov region, history is happening literally before our eyes, and it is mixed with different things. And the feat of the human and the sad chronicles of the dividing the whole country.

And here the main question arises: what to do? Since Savchenko’s quickly liberation in this Russia today seems to be a miracle, and it must be saved immediately. Experience suggests that Putin does not give in to pressure, but there is no time to wait until he considers it necessary to hit the world with a sudden outbreak of humanism, as before the Sochi Olympics. The world must independently find arguments in discussions with the President of the Russian Federation, and it is difficult to believe that there are no such arguments at all.

Surely there is, and the freedom of Nadezhda Savchenko depends on how quickly they are presented. Other forecasts should be rejected, although this contradicts the basics of political journalism. Implying objectivity in assessing the events of the most hopeless and impassive analyst, when you want to scream from pain.
