When the Soviet psychiatrists, helping the leadership of their native party in the fight against the dissident movement, came up with the diagnosis of sluggish schizophrenia, they did not even suspect how close they were to unravel the behavior of this leadership. In order to lie without blushing, in order to invent stories one another is more meaningless, in order to believe in yourself, you need to be exactly what a schizophrenic. And not sluggish.
The diagnosis of the rulers of the Soviet Union was fully inherited by their Russian successors. What we observe in the last days around the Crimea is no pre -thought -out plan, not a new look -like, not preparation for war. This is another exacerbation of the disease. The illness, which Putin himself, even when he did not lose the ability to introspection, brilliantly described in his conversations with Natalya Gevorkyan and Andrei Kolesnikov. When he talked about the rat, which he drove into a corner and who rushed at his pursuer.
This rat does not give him rest. It is obsessed with this rat. He grew up with this rat and became it. Only he feels a rat with a rat - a rat, driven into a corner and forced to attack - otherwise they will trample. These are in the eyes of his own propagandists and the stupefied population of Putin - the winner in knightly armor, lifting Russia from the knees. But for himself, he is still in that blown, stinking St. Petersburg entrance - and literally a moment later a stick of the pursuer will fall on his head. Need to attack!
Judge for yourself. Putin was sure that the annexation of Crimea would get away with him, and after the outbreak of the war in the Donbass, the West would run with him to agree and accept all its conditions that Ukraine from the recovering state of free people would again turn into semolina under his boots. But none of this happened! The annexation of Crimea is never recognized, the economy is cheating, the “lads” under sanctions, the Donbass - despite all the tricks laid down by him in the Minsk agreements - is in no way “not shoved” into Ukraine on Russian conditions, along with Zakharchenki, carpentry and other scum. All the trophies of recent times are one Erdogan, but he knows Erdogan as himself and perfectly understands that such an ally is up to the first turn or coup. What should he do in such a situation?
Raise! So he is furious in his endless dance of the doomed, inventing more and more new reasons for fear. So the "Ukrainian saboteurs" appear, who tried either to tear the tourist season or to blow up the oil depot - and that is why, and not for some other reason, it is decided to refuse to meet the "Norman Four". Although, it would seem, it was at this meeting that the Western partners could evidence of Ukrainian insidiousness. If only these evidence were.
He will now be so furious all the time - until he disappears. This, as glorious Soviet psychiatrists proved, is not treated. It is very important, of course, so that in his malice he would not do anything irreparable - he did not move the troops somewhere not in the hybrid, but so that the coffins go thousands, did not drop the bomb, clicking on Russia a response blow, would not have arranged a new year of 1937, forcing their guardsmen to pick up everyone who seems unreliable - or too well -reaches.
While he is still holding back. So far, it is more virtually furious - well, and the way they taught at the KGB. But for a long time it is enough?
