Petition in the forehead

The genre of petition in Russian history is one of the most respectable. We can talk about a deeply rooted tradition. On the peculiar procedure for submitting a petition and its consideration by the authorities, which could not but find reflection in classical Russian literature, for example: " John. How do you serve a petition? (Trips paper.) "

In life, modern tradition is not interrupted. Take at least the case of Oleg Sentsov.

So, a year ago, the incorrect supply of petition was recorded. This is when the Polish actor Daniel Olbrysky in an open letter to Nikita Mikhalkov turned to his “Russian brother” with a request to help the release of the Polite-Polzek colleague. There were some reasons for this. In June 2014, Nikita Sergeyevich, speaking at the closure of the Moscow Film Festival, stood up for Sentsov, and now Olbrykhsky decided that the generous friend would want to raise his voice again in defense of the Ukrainian director.

And outwardly, everything was done as if according to the rules. The brother turned to his brother, calling him "a wonderful, deep and wise person." He did not demand, but he "begged the" addressee "to do something for Sentsov. If you do not appeal to Putin, with whom a long -standing relationship is also associated with the authorities and also the power of Mikhalkov, then Olbrysky calls him to take the phone when he, Nikita Sergeyevich.

However, the petition turned into tactlessness. Firstly, once got involved in the Kremlin’s conflict with the Ukrainian fascist junta, Mikhalkov exhausted his reserves of civil courage to the bottom, and scanty from nature. What the Pole could have guessed, at least thinking about the question of why a wise person ignores his calls. Secondly, and the main ones, Olbrysky was a foreigner, but in Russia they do not like when strangers intervene in our internal affairs. That is why the enlightened conservative remained deaf to the pleas of an ignorant liberal.

Unlike him, Alexander Sokurov behaved impeccably. Turning to the president during a large and important meeting, he began from afar and thanked the authorities for his sensitivity for quite a while for the director of the deputy and asked for cheap loans - in order to save, of course. And only then, boldly talking about politics and offended believers (“who will protect atheists?”) Smoothly moved to the main thing. Let us, said, solve the problem of Oleg Sentsov, adding that he, Sokurov, "is a shame that we still cannot solve this problem." And then he said the keywords: "I beg you ..."

Then they still exchanged remarks, the great leader and the famous director, but also daring to the president’s slightly, Alexander Nikolaevich did not forget about the most important. “I beg you,” he repeated as a spell, “help ... please.” And he also said that to free the stumbled documentary-it would be "in Russian, in a Christian." And that "mercy is above justice."

He literally drove into the corner of the puzzled Orthodox ruler, and he was confused in the testimony. “In Russian and Christianly, we will not be able to act in this situation without a court decision,” Putin objected. And he immediately caught himself on contradiction: after all, "the court decision took place." So we can? Well, “for this, it is necessary that the appropriate conditions be matured,” Vladimir Vladimirovich continued to understand the job involuntarily and reflect on a given topic, and it was clear that he was more and more difficult to answer with every minute. The petition did not fall into an eyebrow, but in the eye, and by the end of the conversation, the national leader already admitted that the fate of Oleg Sentsov was “a sensitive question”, and promised to “keep it in mind”.

It is possible that it will be so. That is, the national leader will allow himself to succumb to a sudden attack of mercy, as it has already happened to him. It is known that Putin is not inferior to the pressure and always acts in converseness to those who harass his kindness, and then no one demanded anything, then Christ-Bogo was asked to have mercy. There was even a feeling familiar to any sophisticated spectator of political performances. It seemed that the beloved humanistic impromptures of the famous director were rehearsed in advance and it was about a petition agreed, envious.

We know how Vladimir Vladimirovich knows how to recharge those who climb to him with persistent indivisible requests, and how he does not like to be interrupted. And he, listening to Sokurov, healed everything and even tried to make excuses . The first words that fall.

And now it remains only to understand what conditions should ripen so that the hostages, Oleg Sentsov and Alexander Kolchenko, be released. There is an opinion that it is not visible to ripening the conditions, conditions for a long time and tormenting the prisoners. However, the situation in the world on the eve of Donald Trump’s power, stroven, as it may seem, to the thoughts more optimistic. It is clear that backstage trade has already begun and in a dialogue with our new American friend Russia needs trump cards and no victims of meaningless and merciless Shemyakin ships are needed at all. Whatever Putin said about the “actions of a terrorist character” by the innocently convicted opponents of the Russian policy of selective terror.

Politsyki is unlikely to be needed as a bargaining coin in negotiations, since Trump is insensitive to this topic, but with pleasure will take advantage of the pretext to aggravate the discussion. On the contrary, the royal human rights gesture, dictated by an irresistible craving for mercy, can have a beneficial effect on a cool American guy. There is a chance that the temperamental billionaire, looking after Bush Jr. Putin, will find something completely unexpected in them.

At that time, the partner was struck by the story about the cross, saved in a fire. And the worse the touching story about villains, released at the request of the intellectual agility, who called up to Russian Christian customs in exchange for Western loans? Perestroika began with this. And now let's, Donald, recognize the Crimea, cancel the Magnetic and sectoral sanctions.

However, this will hardly be said in the forehead, because Trump is unpredictable in its reactions, and the American system is arranged differently than the Russian, where all the chambers are captured - both upper and lower. In addition, the petition according to the rules of international trade should also not sound bold, and from Vladimir Vladimirovich here it will require no less than from director Sokurov. I would like to believe that the lesson taught by the great master of culture will be learned by a capable physician politician.
