Feathers in search of bayonets

Are you waiting for what? The question asked by Alexei Venediktov heads of Russian law enforcement agencies is only naive, but in reality this is a very important question. The answer to which everyone knows, starting with the editor -in -chief of the radio station and its high -ranking correspondents - Chaika, Bastrykin, Bortnikov, Zolotov, Kolokoltsev. Correspondents are waiting for an order from the Kremlin, but there is no order and will not be, which the presidential spokesman has already notified all those interested. In the streamlined form, offering insulted Chechens to polemicize with journalists in court and adding that the Kremlin is categorically against any other methods of influence on the press.

In other words, if Ramzan Akhmatovich intends to resort to terror, then Vladimir Vladimirovich will decisively protest. Will announce him a boycott for a whole month. And even one and a half.

However, what was said does not mean that the highest power is limited only to official warnings addressed to the participants in the conflict. Surely backstat negotiations are also underway - with the same Kadyrov, for example. Since it is not a fact that it is necessary to kill for articles, but in the time of the total and uncompromising struggle with various obscurantist organizations prohibited in Russia is doubly not a fact.

That is why the authorities in Grozny, carefully listening to Peskov’s speeches and some other comrades, fearlessly promotes the scandal, but as if holding itself within the framework of the law. Although with noticeable labor. Talking about the inevitable, imminent and man -made retribution of some “instigators” is replaced by politically competent maxims about the long -suffering of Allah, who, on Earth, may not touch the slanderers, but punish them “in the righteous world”.

The highest power in Moscow is irritated, but also immersed in thought: what benefit can be extracted from the fact that people again became very scary? A year before Putin’s next election, is this phenomenon how to evaluate? In general, it is still unclear, but there are both positive and negative aspects.

Clear dissatisfaction in the Kremlin is caused by publications in Novaya Gazeta, dedicated to the persecution of gays in Chechnya. From the point of view of the highest authorities, the journalists themselves are guilty of the fact that they brought to themselves the anger of regional theologians. They themselves were substituted, turning into the collective Salman Rushdi. They violated the unwritten rules of the game in politics, according to which nothing bad about what is happening in Chechnya can be written, especially about the murders of people with improper sexual orientation.

On the other hand, not all Russian journalists today show solidarity with colleagues from the "new", and this is probably recorded in the Kremlin with satisfaction. Actually, the benefits of such scandals are that they make it possible to measure the level of social fears, disunity and apathy, and in this example the highest government can once again make sure how everything is captured and strangled. They are noisy, outraged, objected, and in essence few.

That is, events, judging them in accordance with the norms of civilization, are monstrous. People on the territory of Russia are tortured and killed with impunity, and those who are trying to investigate these crimes are exposed and also risk their lives. The norms do not work.

Nevertheless, the side of Ramzan Kadyrov with the theologians and infantrymen inherent in him is simpler, the authorities do not want to openly openly. Therefore, it was decided to wait, and to the question posed by the editor -in -chief of Echo, a seagull with Bastrykin and Bortnikov and Zolotov and Bolokoltsev are in no hurry to answer. Despite the fact that some of them probably have something to say to Venediktov, and at closed meetings with the president, one of the named people, one must assume, is asking something like that. Of course, in an extremely soft form, but awares: they say, what are we waiting for, Vladimir Vladimirovich? Ramzan Akhmatovich ordered to shoot Russian security forces if they come to Chechnya, and this is hardly very much liked by the capital's generals, but forever imprinted in their hearts.

In general, the layouts in the triangle "Kremlin - security forces - free press" have changed amazingly. I remember that at the end of the last millennium and at the beginning of the current journalists rather called to the highest authorities, demanding to stop the war and massacres of Chechens by the soldiers of the Russian army and workers of special services. Now the former Ichkeria, which has come to his native harbor, is terrifying all over Russia, it is useless to contact the president, he and Kadyrov are brothers forever, but suddenly hope for the security forces. Let them do not care about freedom of speech, but should it be offended for the power? Yes, and there is no one else to ask for help, trying if not to admonish, then at least to compose. Thus, this amazing union of unarmed journalists with well -armed employees of the FSB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Prosecutor General’s Office, the TFR, and rumors about the connections of certain Glavreds with the special services are no longer frightened, but they are no longer scared, but even slightly encouraging.

Are you waiting for what? - Aleksey Alekseevich asks, and in his voice you can hear the command notes and desperate at the same time. On them, on the gendarmes and climbers, a disorderly, bonded and humiliated, when it comes to Kadyrov and his dzhigits, no less than other Russians, it remains to be hopeful. On their godless power, which “alone with its bayonets and prisons” could still “protect us from rage” of the Theological. So everything was mixed up, and it is possible that sooner or later the security forces will respond to the woeful appeals of the liberals.
