First -person

Medvedev did not read, but I will say: his words could be torn from context. I don’t know what Medvedev said, but I know for sure that the government, of course, pays great attention to the performance of social obligations. I did not hear Medvedev’s speeches, but the neighbors are much worse than ours.

Still, Dmitry Anatolyevich talked greatly. The scandal that erupted after his conversation with a pensioner in Feodosia turned out so loud that Putin himself had to intervene. The Prime Minister’s protest was forced the president to respond and explain.

Moreover, the reason was so serious that I had to explain directly in Greece, at night, arranging a separate meeting with the "representatives of the Russian media." For the sake of a single question asked by the representative. The domestic political, in essence, was not related to the prayers ascended on Athos, or to negotiations with Cipras, but unusually important. For "the whole country thinks about this issue," as the correspondent put it.

And how not to think? The second person in the state, meeting with the Crimeans, told them that there was no money, and asked not to cough, and few people liked it. Starting with that steamed grandmother, which harshly spoke with him about the indexation of pensions (“You wipe the legs about us!”), And ending with tens of thousands of Russian -speaking, looking through the famous video . And although a little later, the authorities in Sevastopol, having figured out the case, found that there was a “planned provocation”, the sediment remained bad. Well, yes, the combined old woman probably turned out to be a paid agent of the State Department, but Medvedev did not pull the tongue. And he, as if complaining about fate and scary to say to whom, whose foreign policy destroys the economy, pulled out a budget secret and sowed a panic.

Therefore, near Putin they gathered a pool of journalists who were ready at any time of the day and night to ask any question. The Byzantine emperors who had come down from the throne, he was now designed to reassure the plebeians of the retirement age. And also refute the premiere of the Buntov speeches.

Vladimir Vladimirovich coped with this task perfectly. Firstly, he rightly noted that it was wrong to pull out the “phrase from a common conversation, because” by words everything can match, but in spirit the meaning may look differently. ” True, the phrases when communicating with Medvedev and grandmother were said little and they all did not leave the room for interpretations, but there was no need to argue with the thought formulated by the president. The context is sacred.

Secondly, he began in detail, despite the later time, to talk about how he personally controls the social sphere. As “regularly collecting government members,” and during these meetings, “primarily measures are studied ... to support those groups of the population, whose income, to put it mildly, are modest.” Moreover, the situation is not as simple as it is seen by other pensioners. Well, you can stupidly print money, "not in consideration ... with budget revenues," but then inflation will be spinning. Or we must "try, on the one hand, to index (pensions) by any value, but take all measures to suppress inflation." Whether it will turn out - God news, nevertheless, Putin did not deprive his listeners.

The speaker kept silent about the fact that in order to solve a variety of Russian problems, including budgetary ones, at least to withdraw tractor drivers from the Donbass and achieve mitigation of sanctions. However, it is hardly intentionally. Nevertheless, he was not asked about sanctions, but about Medvedev. As a result, any unbiased Russian seemed to have the impression that Putin is smart, economically fed and cares about everyone. It is possible that he will soon index pensions a bit, after which the prices will still take off a bit. Confirming the nightmares of the president.

He finished the most convincing theses in the end. Because, thirdly, he informed everyone offended by Medvedev that there are countries where pensioners live much worse than in Russia. Take at least Greece, the government of which "on May 9, decided not about the indexation of pensions, but to reduce the level of pension provision." Or take Ukraine. However, Vladimir Vladimirovich spoke about this country for a long time, with numbers in his hands and with great human pleasure.

“ We say: last year’s inflation in Russia is very large - 12.9%, ” the President of the Russian Federation bend his fingers. “ And there inflation is 48.7%. The pension is average: we have $ 200 ... in Ukraine - $ 76. There is a difference in at least 4%and indexation in Ukraine, plus an increase in the retirement age. We are trying to hold the growth of tariffs: this year ... this year ... this year ... this year ... this year ... this year ... this year ... 4.5, 5 of our neighbors? .. Average - in general, an increase of 6.6 times.

Knowing in comparison the small Russian troubles, Putin, frankly, gave a worthy answer to Medvedev and some clearly recruited Crimean pensioners, and other doubts. The answer is asymmetric, based on deep immersion in local traditions. After all, our man will overcome any misfortune when he knows for sure that the neighbor has died. And if the whole neighboring village fell at home? And if with our active assistance, after they set it on fire from two ends? This is also called happiness.

That is why, driving a desperate Medvedev back to the context of Russian life, Putin was complained. Suppressing the rebellion, he spoke in a conciliatory tone. The other, perhaps, would immediately dismiss the ally for Alarmist sentiments, and the president will wait. Until then, it is likely when in an exclusive night interview he himself suddenly speaks about unlawed budget holes and money, which are not. And then it turns out right away who is guilty of the fact that the grandmas are over. Yes, yes, it is he, Panicer is a kind, who else? He glued it.
