"Who is our king?"
How to distract people interested in the politics, young and not very, from the discussions of Navalny or, for example, the Moscow "renovation"? There is a proven method!

The explanatory note to the bill, which signed three deputies from the Zhirinovsky party, says, in particular, that "the current state anthem of Russia is the original music and the processed text of the Soviet anthem, which has not become a symbol of the unification of the majority of the country's citizens", and that the assertion of a new anthem "will achieve historical continuity." You can familiarize yourself with the documents on the Duma website .
The commentators were still interested in who the "king", who was offered to be stored in the LDPR. Such a question was asked even in the noble assembly.

At the same time, Shcherbachev wondered : "Who is our king then?"
"What will a citizen of the Russian Federation understand by the words" God, keep the king! "?" - also asked the representative of the organization.
However, some time ago Zhirinovsky himself seemed to answer this question!

The king is not a king, but ...
President Putin will meet with President Trump in Hamburg. Putin will go in 2018 for the 4th term, and in 2024 for the 5th term. I say?

Fyodor KraSheninnikov - as in fact, most commentators - predicts the failure of the bill: Soviet inertia is still stronger than the imperial!
It remains only to decide with the king
(But, of course, they will not abandon the Soviet anthem, this is their scraping)
And Dmitry Gudkov noticed an interesting detail:
The State Duma deputy Degtyarev and the couple of his acquaintances decided not to limit themselves to "renovation" ("Circle and demolish") - they want to return the hymn "God, keep the king." They wrote a bill, submitted to the Duma, and were sentenced - everything, as usual.
It would not be worth attention, if not for one "but". In a negative review, the government gives very funny arguments. It turns out that we have a secular state, so it is impossible to ask God to keep the king. That is, the king is not at all embarrassed. And what about Mikhalkov? "The Earth is not embarrassed by God"?
The second argument: the current anthem emphasizes historical continuity, thanks again to Mikhalkov. And what, "God, Tsarihri" does not support? See how! Gendarm Lvov, a slurry of England, emphasizes the continuity of much as better. In vain, the government is slandering.
Judging by the fact that they revived with the idea of the monarchy -
- Soon, Lenin will begin to bury again -
- Why are new tricks when the old ones work fine
