Alexander Shmelev: "This is not like Putin"

"Another crazy line of" analytics "of Sunday protests is the emphasis on the person of D. A. Medvedev, against which these protests were supposedly directed.
(Usually this is presented, accompanied by varying degrees of conspiracyology: either Sechin ordered it, or Putin himself, or they are all together.), ”The publicist writes on his Facebook page.

Honestly, I have not read more nonsense for a long time!

1) This is not as possible to Putin, who hates any “unbridled” crowds on the streets and never resorts to their help. (I am sure that if the inconsistent demonstration of Putin’s sincere supporters comes to the street, it will also disperse it - you can go to “Putings” only for money or on the instructions of the district administrations.)

2) it is strongly incomprehensible why Putin (or Sechin) could have been required. Over 17 years, we have repeatedly seen how Putin resigns people from his environment, including the neighbor, and this has never happened as a result of a preliminary public campaign. Kasyanov, Voloshin, Fradkov, Zubkov, Surkov, Serdyukov, Kudrin, Yakunin, Patrushev, Belyaninov, Sergey Ivanov, a bunch of governors, etc.

Some were cleaned quietly, offering an honorary Sinecura in return. Others - loudly, with scandals and criminal cases. But never - after a preliminary attack on this person from the opposition. If Putin wanted to arrange a show from the resignation of Medvedev, he would be enough for him to call Bastrykin, and the next day the Channel One would show the whole country, as investigators come to Medvedev, they find suitcases with dollars, mansions, yachts and estates, and he himself leads to a pre -trial detention center. Why would he raise the popularity of Navalny for this and show that street protests can end in success?!

3) Well, finally, the main thing. Highly experts can erect any conspiracy theological constructions, but they are an ordinary protesting on the drum. I don’t know how in other cities, but in Moscow, none of the protest participants shared the figures of Putin and Medvedev. "Putin is a thief", "Russia without Putin" and so on rushed at the crowd no less than "he is not Dimon to you." And I suspect that it was everywhere. "
