On Thursday, at a meeting of the Victory Organizing Committee, all the attention of the public was focused on an exceptional public conflict between the two pro -Kremlin figures - the head of the organization of Afghanistan Veterans “Disabled War” Andrei Chepurny and Senator, a member of the Presidium of the General Council of “United Russia” Franz Klintsevich. Behind the dispute of two leaders of competing Afghan organizations, of course, there is a struggle for money and the location of political patrons. But the loud scandal hid other important points from the public: the meeting itself, the composition of the speakers and their speeches show a noticeable shift in accents on the victorious agenda.
Every year, the celebration of Victory Day in Russia becomes the main historical and political event, the scale of which is not comparable to any other memorable day. This is almost the main “spiritual screening”, in which the Kremlin has already seen the exceptional and inexhaustible potential for the consolidation of society and the authorities for many years. Each year, the format and content of the celebration reflects all the latest trends in the political situation in Russia, as well as current foreign policy challenges.
