Why is the investigation of Navalny about Medvedev - part of the unnecessary election campaign

The "Fund for the True of Corruption" by Alexei Navalny published a weighty and uncompromising investigation about Dmitry Medvedev. About dozens of organizations interconnected with each other, among which charitable foundations dominate, one way or another associated with classmates, relatives or proxies of the Prime Minister. The property of these funds, which includes huge estates ( some of them were reported by the New Gazeta back in 2011, see “President” - Ed. ), Agricultural Latifundia in Russia and abroad and pleasant little things like elite yachts and apartments with elevators for Lamborgini. And about the sources of the origin of funds for which all this luxury is acquired. In most cases, money - and the account goes for tens of billion rubles - was simply presented. The donors were large raw materials oligarchs.

The official representative of the Prime Minister Natalya Timakova reacted predictably: “Navalny's material is of a brightly exposed election character, which he himself talks about at the end of the video. To comment on the propaganda attacks of an opposition and convicted character, who said that he was already leading some kind of election campaign and fighting power is pointless. ”

I must admit that Natalya Timakova is right in absolutely everything.

Aristocratic silence has long been the perfect form of commentary, because real policy is not public and public opinion in its coordinate system is about where the Rosneft spokesman sends leisure correspondents. But in the country there really is a pre -election campaign, in respect of which no one knows the main thing: when the elections will be held (the date is not officially scheduled), and who will participate in them.

Navalny here, despite all the legislative restrictions related to a reduced criminal record for Kirovles, officially announced his intention to run and is now busy forming regional support headquarters. He is in the game, and will remain in it even if he is not allowed to official participation in electoral procedures. It is clear that the first, second and third dish that he is ready to offer the voter is just the fight against corruption. In this sense, the investigation about Medvedev might seem like a falsestart. But the situation of uncertainty, in which absolutely all political players are now, makes a meaningless strategy and distribution of distance forces. Moreover, it can easily turn into a stage at any time for Navalny.

The role of Medvedev in the future campaign is outlined much less clearly, but it will be great. The investigation of Navalny emphasizes the non -obvious fact: Dmitry Anatolyevich is really the second person in the state.

And not only in proximity to the first person: Medvedev formed his circle, and the financial flows that feed him are in no way connected with the conditional cooperative “lake”. Honestly, I don’t know who else in our country is allowed to have a similar resource - financial and political.

Speaking of a political resource. Medvedev - Chairman of the Party of Government, which owns the actual monopoly in the federal parliament and serious influence in most regions. In a hypothetical situation, when the current president decides not to run for a new term, Medvedev becomes not just obvious, but a non -alternative candidate. In any scheme, including the continuity.

That is, the direct collision of Medvedev and Navalny at the election distance is an exotic plot, but, nevertheless, probable.

And yet the salt of the situation is not this. Our policy is not made in polling stations and not even in offices, but on sidelines. And in this system, Alexei Navalny also has his own political weight. True, he is considered not an independent player, but an effective instrument of intra -elite struggle. The version is widespread according to which its chronic problems with the Criminal Code is a consequence of an unauthorized exit for the chopped anti -corruption plot into a pure policy.

The publication of the investigation about Dmitry Medvedev will give rise to a lot of versions about who is beneficial, and who, therefore, ordered it. Beded security officers and security services of the largest companies are already on the ears.

The customer, of course, will be found because the situation in which he is absent is beyond the cognitive abilities of people who form our elite. So, there will be a counterattack.

While we are watching a video from a helikopter, alliances are consisted and bets are made.

The election campaign really began.
