"Bluff, nonsense and speculation"
Today, 1640 journalists gathered in the hall, where the annual press conference of Putin took place, and they all tried to attract as much attention as possible.
In the lobby of Putin’s press conference, he saw: “A man in the National Kurdish suit is a man in a white jumper with the inscription Crimea Putin forever- a man with a goy #vavilov SPB sign on his back, Santa Claus without a beard, but in full vestment I have no chance

On TV, they show a costume show of journalists before the press conference of Vladimir Putin. Santa Claus's costume in stock. There are not enough bunnies and snowflakes.
The commentators and mysterious "algae" amused.
Vladimir Vladimirovich, undoubtedly, enjoys this "general type of Russian journalism." Probably the viewer is pleasant: a recognizable format is a meeting at the airport with posters from travel agencies, poor in underground crossings ... (Tatars, algae, "serve for children" ...)
Many ladies, without saying a word, came to Krasnoye, including Ksenia Sobchak (representing the Rain TV channel at the press conference) and Tatyana Felgenhauer (Echo of Moscow).
Why are there so many women in red dresses? Is this some kind of flash mob?)
They did not agree about Red! pic.twitter.com/jciv9rqawo

Vladimir Putin was almost not late for his press conference.
The first question - from the radio station "Says Moscow" - turned out to be quite interesting: Putin was asked why he goes to the polls.
Putin answers the question why he goes to the presidency again: "Improving the income of citizens! High technologies! Infrastructure!" Apparently, at all previous times, Putin became president for something else.
- The Insider (@the_ins_ru) December 14, 2017
- Vladimir Vladimirovich, why are you going to the polls?- In order to build, establish, improve what Putin has destroyed, ruined, worsened. Khm ghm /coughing /
- Thoughts of the perzient (@vvp2_0) December 14, 2017
Putin: "In a chamber conversation, I have already said that Russia should be flexible, modern, developed ..." We do not know about modern, but the chamber character of modern Russia has long been noticeable.
- Echid news (@_u_r_i_c) December 14, 2017
The next question asked by Lifenews was even more interesting: "Why is there no normal, influential opposition candidate? Are you not bored?" In response, Putin talked for a long time about how bad the Russians lived in the 90s and how good it was with him.
Putin: We live much better than in the 90s. GDP grew by 75 percent (and even compared to 1913 as). Pensions, salaries have grown. /Therefore, therefore, there are no competitors/
- Radio Liberty (@svobodaradio) December 14, 2017
Putin: Infant mortality decreased 2.6 times, the mother’s four times! And what is there with opponents, Vladimir Vladimirovich?
- Echo of Moscow (@Echomskru) December 14, 2017
Putin argues the need for his next presidential term with the successes of 10-15 years ago. And he is silent that over the past decade at record oil prices there have been no success in the economy or in the social sphere. Claims that all the oppositions of the chatterbox

Hoping to continue the theme of the opposition, Putin chose a girl with a poster from the hall, on which it seemed to him, it was written “Putin Bai-Bai”, but the girl immediately explained that “Putin Babai” was actually written there, which in Tatar means “grandfather Putin”. The question ended in the study of Tatar in schools and the enlargement of the regions.
“Putin - Bai -Bai,” - Note, I didn’t say that
The light movement of the lip Babai turns into a baibai. At the same time, "Grandpa is called you called you." The topic of the image of the future is clearly to the place, yes
Babai (Tat. Babay - grandfather, old man) - in Slavic folklore, the night spirit, an imaginary creature mentioned by parents in order to intimidate naughty children. Ok, everything is clear
- Radio Liberty (@svobodaradio) December 14, 2017
// In Tataria, children are scared by grandfather Putin "
I think this woman from Tatarstan with the Putin Babai poster caused him a severe mental trauma. Three!
-Firstly, he himself read it as a “bai-bai”.
- Secondly, when she explained that it was still written “Babay” he could not help but think that this is the same “bottlenous woman” that he was teased at all rallies.
- Thirdly, when she translated him that Babay was a grandfather, of course, referring to the good thought that all the children of Tatarstan love Putin’s grandfather, this was even more bombarded, because why then he was younger with the same Botox, if he was still grandfather.
That's all. Cut off on take -off.
This awkward episode was followed by the first important statement from the beginning of the press conference: Putin announced that he would nominate on his own , but he had not yet called the name of the future head of his headquarters.
Self -nomination.
Okay, clearly, clearly.
Putin's self -nomination is a popular business!
That is, in principle, no parties are needed, there is no party policy. The country's main elections are essentially missing as a member of the ruling party. Not any country in the world, this is a sur. That is, once again we received confirmation of the artificiality of the party system.
Yes, and what is important. Two candidates announced the self -nomination and collection of 300 thousand signatures - Putin and Navalny. Everyone else tends to find a party of at least two people and collect 100 thousand.
Andrei Kolesnikov ("Kommersant"): "Who will be the head of your election headquarters, and does it even have any meaning for you?"
That is, "... or are you so higher than this bustle?" A very good question. This is what experience means. #Twepers
Further, Putin, as promised at the beginning, used the issues of journalists for a long time to tell how well things are going on in the country: the economy goes uphill, because the sanctions "did not affect, but still influenced", the May decrees of 2012 "practically executed".
"We went out of the recession and entered the stage of confident development." Brezhnev called this "period of developed socialism."
- Alexey Navalny (@navalny) December 14, 2017
Putin is now praising May decrees that are executed and everything is fine in general.
Now I will tell you in secret what May decrees are and in what sense they are executed.
1. Elimination of rural medicine. The unification of hospitals and clinics even in Moscow, the closure of maternity hospitals. Reducing the availability of medical care and not only in the village.
2. The reform of education with the unification of schools, the closure of rural schools, militarization and clericalization of education.
Z.Y. It can be seen how Putin was tired of all this. I used to sit for a long time, listened to everyone, I was only surprised, but how can the president be so good, but all journalists should not go to the toilet. And today it requires double questions. That is, one person sets, he is looking for a poster in the hall with a similar topic. Apparently, to finish faster. And the amazing ability in 40 minutes, for nine minutes everything was delayed, not to say anything new at all. Not a single phrase. In addition to self -nomination and then conditionally, they talked about it, and about Babayka.
The failure of the "May decrees" is so obvious that even Putin is forced to evaluate their implementation as "satisfactory."
That is, for 5 years, the sober about these decrees - and is made on a three of a optimistic assessment.
This is all that you need to know about Putin's promises and controllability of the country.
May decrees are realized satisfactory. We will vote again - the quality from execution will increase well and excellent. #PutinPressing Conference
Not a single performance by Putin has yet been without a dubious joke. This time, in response to the question of whether Russia needs such a large military budget, the president told a joke about a boy with a dagger.
“Putin:“ Here is a joke ... The boy changed the dagger for his watch. The bandits came, they killed the dad, the mother was killed, his sister was raped, and he went out and said: “Moscow time 12 hours 30 minutes .... understood? Therefore, we will develop the army! "Putin, well, I have a dagger. It does not save you from you.

A great revitalization on the Web also raised the question of why Rodchenkov was appointed to the post of director of the anti -doping center, a person with a dubious reputation - more precisely, not so much a question as who exactly asked him.
Wow, Putin is asked by the question of the provocateur Oleg Lurie, who has that, who spent for extortion! Rather, he does not ask a question, but tells what bad Rodchenkov! Putin in response agrees that Rodchenkov is terrible (although he used to give Rodchenkov as much as 2 honorary letters) #straightforwards
- The Insider (@the_ins_ru) December 14, 2017
The question of a fraudster Rodchenkov is asked by a crystal honest journalist Oleg Lurie. #Twepers
The most funny at these press conferences is the image of the catastrophe of Russian journalism. The kingdom of the crooked Lurie.
#Infores, the police informant Lurie reports to the police informant Rodchenkov that the police were not informed enough
Putin's answers did not surprise anyone: the uncertain of the national team is an undermining for Russian politics, and in general, everyone is just jealous of us.
Putin: Doping scandal is inflated on the eve of the Russian political calendar, but we ourselves are to blame.
- Radio Liberty (@svobodaradio) December 14, 2017
Putin believes in the theory of conspiracy. He has such a job! The removal of the Russian team from the Olympics is a digging under our sovereign elections. Now it’s clear.
The leader of the country also drew attention to a strange fact - how Rodchenkov managed to transport prohibited substances through customs.
- What is even more strange to me - after all, he dragged all this muck through customs, how was he missed? Putin asked.
We have regained our old positions in sports. There was a time when we gave the palm of the championship to the Americans, Chinese, Germans, Norwegians and even Canadians, but after the triumph in Sochi it became clear to everyone that domestic sport was no longer in decline, but at the stage of revival. Hence the doping scandals!
- Alexey Zhuravlev (@zhuravlevrodina) December 14, 2017
After the Olympic topic, it was a turn of talk about international politics. In response to the question of the journalist ABC News, Putin can somehow explain the contacts between senior Russians and the Trump administration, the president praised Trump and expressed hope of improving relations with the United States, and only after a reminder of the question answered that all this was invented by those who are in the opposition to Trump, "and these people" bleed the capabilities of the head of the state. "
"We see some of the achievements of President Trump, despite the fact that he is still not in power for long."
Indeed, on its scale, these are some minutes. #Twepers
Putin about Trump's illegally: the opposition is to blame!
Putin believes in Trump.
Or does he deliberately drown him?
With his support, he will now make the old man or provoke him to new sanctions.
Very interesting
The Associated Press correspondent, who asked if Russia will support sanctions against North Korea to warm up relations with Trump, Putin replied: “Interesting you guys! Your congressmen put us on a par with North Korea and Iran, and at the same time you want us to solve problems with these countries! Are you generally normal people?” To the question of the Polish journalist about Russia's involvement in a plane crash near Smolensk, Putin replied that such questions are "bluff, nonsense and speculation."
The Syrian theme was affected by a journalist of Chechen descent, who told how he came to the camp of Russian troops in Homs. In response, Putin praised Kadyrov for taking orphans from Syria. Kadyrov did not remain in debt.
“Only Chechens can travel there (in Syria) on foot,” President Vladimir Putin joked today during a large press conference today. Right. Because we are the infantrymen of the President of Russia and are ready to walk to where he will order.
The turn came to Ukraine: the correspondent of the agency UNIAN Roman Tsimbalyuk asked if Putin wanted to exchange Russian prisoners for Ukrainians sitting in prison in Russia. Putin immediately asked for the following question, but then nevertheless spoke for a long time about the relationship between Russia and Ukraine - basically that Russians and Ukrainians are not at all different, which caused delights in the halls. Putin and Saakashvili mentioned, calling him "a spit in the face of the Georgian and Ukrainian peoples."
Hmm, Putin's heart is doused with blood when he watches Saakashvili rushed around Ukraine and yells "I am Ukrainian." Putin Saakashvili does not like, he even tries to hide, but it doesn’t work.
- Alena Vershinina (@alenawenger) December 14, 2017
Putin: “Here is Bashkiria ... And there is a journalist from Ukraine. In my understanding, it’s close.” The journalist from Ukraine: “I will correct you, it’s not close. We are only familiar with your Buryats. With your decisors. Or, more precisely, resolves.” Bravo!
- Echid news (@_u_r_i_c) December 14, 2017
Putin had a new technology: after uncomfortable questions, they immediately ask the next one and he answers the last. It seems that this has never happened. I have everything.
- Prostakov (@Prosto_takov) December 14, 2017
Of course, why answer the acute question of a journalist from Ukraine? Of course, Saakashvili and the Minsk format are much more important than Russian troops and hostages ...
- Alena Vershinina (@alenawenger) December 14, 2017
Putin: There is no Russian army on the territory of Donbass, but there were created military-militia formations that are ready to reflect the offensive against the Donbass. /who are created?/
- Radio Liberty (@svobodaradio) December 14, 2017
It is significant that spontaneous applause in the hall caused the words that Russians with Ukrainians were one people. Twice. This is to the question of the mood of the people. Also make an amendment to the fact that in the hall some journalists are traditionally the most liberal and skeptical audience.

One of the few urgent issues of the day was asked by Tatyana Felgenhauer.
Felgenhauer: There is a repressive machine where they plant for reposts where Oleg Navalny and Serebrennikov sits. And at the same time, Geremeyev and Sechin are not for interrogation, like Turchak? (applause)
- Radio Liberty (@svobodaradio) December 14, 2017
Awesome Tanya Felgenhauer. A murderous question - and, excuse me, but this is not an answer.
And yes, Igor Ivanovich is outside the system. Special Subject.
Tanya Felgenhauer asks a question. About Russian justice. He calls the names of Oleg Navalny, Kirill Serebrennikov, Alexei Malobrodsky. And Sechin.
It is absolutely useless. He is annoyed and repeats like a parrot: the court will decide. Everything is very fast.
And Tanya well done. In a red dress.
The laurels of the second heroine of the day went to Ksenia Sobchak: as expected, she asked her question closer to the end of the press conference, and he touched, including the inadmissions of Alexei Navalny. In response, Putin compared Navalny with Saakashvili and angrily stated that Russia did not need a Maidan (therefore he was not allowed).
Ksenia Sobchak, which the president himself will give the word, should complete the press conference on drama.
In the response, Sobchak Putin first admitted that the case of Navalny Lipovoye is #only
“Putin:“ Such characters you asked about, want us to arrange a Maidan! Do you want such Saakashvili to run around the squares? ”This is the answer to the question of why Russia does not obey the decision of the European court and does not register Navalny as a presidential candidate
- Here Shepelin (@lya_shepelin) December 14, 2017
And yes, Putin finally called Navalny by his name. True, for some reason by the name of Saakashvili
- Here Shepelin (@lya_shepelin) December 14, 2017
To my collection "Words used in order not to say Navalny" added "those you called."
- Alexey Navalny (@navalny) December 14, 2017
Once they go to the Saakashvili bar, this gentleman is the previously convicted character, and the bartender is: "Alexey, hello!".
- Ruslan Shaveddinov (@shavedDinov) December 14, 2017
. @navalny received the final certification as a serious politician. Comparison with @saakashvilim is like a nobe. I am completely serious.
- Konstantin v. EgGert (@kvonegGert) December 14, 2017
Everything is as I wrote: the mission of Sobchak is to help Putin not talk about Navalny.
Why discuss him, his rallies and his program, if I can say:
"I have already answered the question about the opposition. It should come out with a clear program of positive actions. So you went out under the slogan" Against all. "Is this, what do you offer?"
That is, the opposition is Ksyusha, she has a slogan "against all."
Again, it is characteristic that to the question of Navalny he answered through Ukraine and Saakashvili. Grandfather lives by Ukrainian policy (
The godson of Putin, the girlfriend of the Rotenbergs, running in the president of Russia with Putin’s personal sanction, asks the “acute” question. On the Internet, it is praised "for the courage" of the former prime minister Putin and state media. Do not hang your ears, this is how you will be deceived.
- Mikhail Svetov (@msvetov) December 14, 2017
And finally the long -awaited one.
Vladimir Putin personally invites Ksenia Anatolyevna - candidate against units to ask a question.
Ksenia Anatolyevna asks why they do not register Navalny. Yes, and she has a problem in the regions, adds Ksenia Anatolyevna, elegantly equalizing herself and Navalny.
“Because we don’t need our Saakashvili with the Maidans here,” says Vladimir Vladimirovich.
That is, with open text. Without even referring to how he loves, to an “independent court” and “independent centrizbirk”.
We (people) do not need this one in the elections. I said.
What does any opposition candidate do after such impudence? Ну как минимум (условно) плюет в морду и говорит: ну я знал, что фарс. Но это фарс уже неприкрыто бессовестный. Я ушел на улицу к Навальному. Что делает после такой наглости кремлевский проект? Похвастается, что вот я какой смелый вопрос задал и прекрасно продолжит обслуживать своей персоной его избирательную кампанию.
Сами увидите, какой вариант будет явлен нам в жизни)
Ну, в общем, пока за всю пресс-конференцию Путину было задано всего два неудобных вопроса: Ксенией Собчак про конкуренцию на выборах и недопуск Навального, и Татьяной Фельгенгауэр про правовую систему (там был интересно именно упоминание Геремеева). То есть, вопрос о Навальном и вопрос (точнее упоминание) о причастности офицеров Кадырова к убийству Немцова.
Фамилию Геремеева в вопросе Татьяны Путин просто проигнорировал - потому что другого выхода у него не было.
На вопрос о Навальном Путин вообще отреагировал настоящей истерикой. Вместо своих привычных заклинаний о "решении суда" и "правовом поле" - какая-то лавина ада про "нового Саакашвили российского издания", про "оккупай Уолл-Стрит", про "Майдан". "Майдан" - это еще одна путинская фобия. Ну то есть вообще эмоционально раскрыл карты и фактически открытым текстом шипел про страх революции и демонтажа своей власти.
Но был и еще один герой дня: мурманский директор рыбокомбината, выдавший себя за журналиста (и искренне в этом признавшийся).
- Я вас обманул. Я никакой не журналист. Я председатель совета директор Мурманского рыбкомбината.
- This is bad!
- Я сюда пришел незаконно. делайте со мной что хотите.
(With)
Молодец мужик, не дал мне и другим слушателям уснуть. Хотя я рыбу не ем, но мужику счастья и здоровья.
Героический прорыв директора рыбокомбината под видом журналиста. Спецслужбы не знали? Не верю или плохие спецслужбы. Директор будет баллотироваться куда то теперь?
«Рыба национальное достояние, которому должно соответствовать населения». Это вопрос!
Самое яркое событие этой пресс-конференции - не вопросы Фельгенгауэр, Собчак, или Цымбалюка. Главная, а, точнее, единственная реальная диверсия - это выступление директора рыбного комбината из Мурманска. То есть три часа президент рассказывает о том, что ручное управление - это сильно преувеличенный миф, что правительство работает в целом успешно, что в экономике и системе госуправления все здорово и будет только лучше. И тут встает мужик, долго, убедительно, с настоящими слезами на глазах объясняет, почему в рыбной отрасли творится полный беспредел, из-за чего в Мурманске рыба стоит не дешевле курицы, а потом честно признается, что он специально всех обманул и прикинулся журналистом - потому что другого способа донести до "царя" реальное положение дел нет. Это про куда более серьезные вещи, чем работу организаторов шоу или ФСО.
По-моему, ни те, кто в зале, ни сам мужик, ни даже Путин так до сих пор и не поняли, что там на самом деле произошло. Сам факт этого выступления - лучший диагноз и приговор системе.
В общем, ничего такого, чего россияне и так не знали бы.
ГОДОЖДАННАЯ ПРЕСС-КОНФЕРЕНЦИЯ
Ну и чо, рассказал он вам всем, как мы хорошо живем, несмотря на то, что кое-где у нас еще порой как говорицца сами понимаете, и при этом страна поголовно окружена врагами, еще поголовнее чем раньше?
А анекдотик сальненький запулил?
И не надоело слушать-то?
Так случилось, что я четыре часа слушал пресс-конференцию В.В.Путина. Я усвоил, что в этом году сибиряки намолотили рекордный урожай и что российское общество сильно обеспокоено вопросами переработки рыбы. Особняком стоит тема омуля. Малый бизнес мучают проверками, но тут уже намечены, как я услышал, пути решения. Честно говоря, я так и не понял, что он собирается делать с экономикой, образованием, здравоохранением (сказал, что нужны медицинские хабы в малых населенных пунктах и какие-то передвижные модули, — что с этой информацией делать, я не знаю). Скажу больше: мне показалось, что ни до чего из этого ему нет никакого дела. Зато, понял я, есть две вещи, которые В.В. Путину в самом деле небезразличны: преследовать Навального — потому что тот мутит воду, буквально, а не по какой-то другой причине, — и контролировать сбор улик в уголовном деле против своего собственного министра. V.V. Путин пообещал представить свою предвыборную программу в развернутом виде чуть позже, но я не думаю, что в этом есть необходимость — программа была исчерпывающе представлена сегодня.
Я слышу голос старого, неуверенного в себе человека, в нём уже какое-то опасливое брюзжащее дрожание, как если бы некая болотистая почва уходила у него из-под ног. Взгляд его по-рыбьи мутнеет, рассеивается и устремлен не то вдаль, не то в себя, не то в брежневскую какую-то навь, кошмарную зыбкость.
Не случайно в период полного распада системы власть персонифицирована именно таким человеком. Это говорящий символизм!
Экранная рябь будто бы вплелась в его разрозненные шизофазические мысли, скачущие от проблем очередей в детские сады прямо к арктическому шельфу. Речь разбавляется анекдотом - диагнозом и советчины, и смысловой потерянности в том числе.
Старого пса, как известно, новым фокусам не научишь.
Иными словами, в этот раз я пас, Владимир Владимирович. I can't.
В общем, вот тебе, друг, мой совет. Как только наткнешься глазами на словосочетание "пресс-конференция Путина", тут же закрывай свой Фейсбук, выключай свой телевизор, откладывай свой смартфон - и беги. Беги в магазин. Бери там хорошего пива. И пей.
