Vladimir Putin, albeit unofficially, but in fact he already leads his election campaign.
On Thursday, he held two important meetings, one of them with representatives of large business.

At a meeting with Putin, the oligarchs asked not to increase the tax burden. “No question,” Putin smiled. - We can, in general, cancel it, and, especially for you, after the election, introduce a tribute.

Media: Vladimir Putin came up with how to save Russian business. God! Is it really a resignation?

At a meeting with representatives of Russian business circles, Putin said that the recession in the Russian economy was completed. He was already like a mantra ... "They sat and thought how to make a profitable one from their unprofitable farm without changing anything." M.E. Saltykov-Shchedrin.

“A good day, dear friends!” - said Vladimir Vladimirovich, opening yesterday a meeting with representatives of major Russian business.
He knows how to choose the words in order to emphasize the scale of the event and add some share of subtle sarcasm so that the participants in the event are not mistaken in assessments of their role.
“Friends” ... On the neck of Mr. Yevtushenkov, fingerprints of Mr. Sechin are still distinctly stand out, and now they are sitting at the same table and look like “Do not spam water”.
The rest have a similar story of relationships, and now they try not to turn their backs to each other. After each friendly handshake, the state of personal assets is immediately checked.
How many such cases were - a warm welcome, a smile in a full glossy width, they pat on the shoulder, and in the morning the chief accountant calls, they say, you cracked yesterday a half yard in greenery.
But with the definition of “dear” - here to the point and without any other interpretations.
Not everyone, of course, gathered at this table from that chosen 1% of Russians, which account for 71% of all personal assets in Russia.
There is no expensive Mr. Abramovich, dear Mr. Rotenbergs and some others no less expensive. Dear Mr. Kerimov could not drive up, lingered in France.
But the gathered at the table at V. Putin is enough for the dear Russians to cling to the screens on the other side of the TV, the familiar faces are caressed with grateful glances and dreamed: “Dear, dear, how do we want to communicate with you, look into your eyes, put into a friendly embrace and hug, hug, not letting go ... until the last breath”
Some members of the Imperial Industrial Chamber were absent (for example, Deripaska, Miller). Now we will wait for the list of the US Department of Finance in February. We will compare, study.
But the meeting with the Presidential Council on Culture and Art turned out to be more noticeable.

The once magnificent actor, and now the liberal nits Evgeny Mironov, today at a meeting with Putin he was again ached about the Serebrennikov crook. Then he asked to simplify the title of “People's Artist.” What kind of disgusting are these “cultural figures”!

With difficulty, I watched the broadcast of the Council under the President of the Russian Federation on Culture and Art. Formulating thoughts clearly and briefly turned out to be an overwhelming task for most participants, despite the calls of the head of state. How accurate was Anton Pavlovich, writing: "The brevity of talent."
- Sergey Boyarsky (@sergeyboarskiy) December 21, 2017
What times, such songs. Culture figures at a meeting in the Central Committee of the CPSU: Yes, we have not yet done everything for our people, for our viewer, for our culture. Culture figures with the President of the Russian Federation: Yes, not everything has done the state yet, a society has made a society for us, cultural figures!
But the most resonant was the question that journalist Alexander Arkhangelsky asked :
The best laws will slip if the supervisory authorities, as well as the investigation and the court, will proceed from repressive logic. Often you have to hear: why is the investigation against officials possible, but not against cultural figures? No one says that the investigation against cultural figures is impossible. They talk about something else - that you can not frighten and suppress either officials, or artists, or ordinary citizens, nobody. It is necessary to investigate, not to pursue.
I can’t help but mention the case, which has been talked about more than once in your presence, not today, but nevertheless, about the case of Serebrennikov, Malobrodsky, Itin, Apfelbaum, Maslyaeva. The protest causes not an attempt to figure it out, but the absence of such an attempt, pressure, and intimidation.
Why keep Malobrodsky behind bars and blame the defendants in theatrical business of non -letters of a play that received a “golden mask”? Why deprive Sofu Apfelbaum of the opportunity to manage the Russian Academic Youth Theater, Serebryannikov-Gogol Center, and Itina to do the affairs of the outstanding Yaroslavl theater named after Volkov? Why destroy the institute of guarantee?
I just remind you that for each of the defendants, dozens of most respected representatives of culture were entrusted, and different in views, in artistic directions, from Govorukhin to Kirkorov, from Meladze to Shirvindt, from Spivakov to Natalia Solzhenitsyna. I emphasize that guarantee is not a call to refuse to proceed. A guarantee is a moral guarantee that the defendant will not be hidden, that you can limit yourself to a key, a subscription of a lower way, but continue to work.
Always envious of the clarity of the mind of Sasha Arkhangelsk and the logicality of his texts, oral statements. Now I just admire.
Special pleasure was to observe the stone faces of functionaries in culture. It is unpleasant to hear this, but they do not dare to show displeasure in the presence of two presidents - the present and the future.
Exemplary performance. A special pleasure in seeing the young Fsoshnik behind the eyes on the forehead climb.
Arkhangelsk, of course, is an incredible well done! Alexander, I love it very much
(And the fact that mortal longing covered the response from the chief correspondent should be considered an intermediate stage on the right path to healing. From everything)
A brilliant smart, precisely built text. Without curts and exaltations. Sasha held on and spoke as equal with an equal, as a citizen, and not a subject, as an independent self -respecting person. Like Lesha Malobrodsky in court.
This is the rarest quality for our time - to realize yourself
But Putin’s answer:
Some things you talked about are known to me. I don’t know anything about some and I will definitely look more closely. As for Serebrennikov, you know well that if it were a persecution, and not an investigation, his performance would not be staged on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater. And this happened. Therefore, it seems to me that here you need to take it more closely. Although the thing is very sensitive.
You know, I ask me to excuse me. I have a lot of notes here. I will be happy to give everyone a word, but I urgently need to approach the phone. If we agree, I will talk now and be ready to return and continue. If someone does not succeed, then I ask me to excuse me. Continue? Are we interrupted for a short while?
Putin began to answer the question of Serebrennikov’s case, but interrupted himself, because it was necessary to “urgently approach the phone” an excuse of the year

Putin interrupted the meeting to talk on the phone. They say Trump called, demanded to let Serebrennikov go.

Putin interrupted a meeting of the Council on Culture and Art because of the urgent call? Gandhi? Alina?
- Thoughts of the perzient (@vvp2_0) December 21, 2017
And how Putin found out that he needed the phone if, during the wonderful and detailed speech of Alexander Arkhangelsky, at least judging by the accessible picture, no one approached him.
And what happened after the call? I hope he was the prosecutor general
Probably, Bastrykin called, was interested in sand.
Kabaeva called to ask what Vova wants for lunch? Or Kadyrych decided to share the joy of a new belt?
A little later there was a real interlocutor of Putin.
Putin with Lavrov was tired of Pcholyat)) The president interrupted the meeting of the Council on Arts, for the sake of talking with the king of Saudi Arabia: they discussed Syria, oil and the situation in Yemen, and the Minister of the Foreign Ministry conducted a conversation with a colleague from Jordan. pic.twitter.com/u5cst8ntyi

It is possible that after a meeting in Moscow, the President of Russia and the king of Saudi Arabia became bosom friends.
But this does not mean that the king can unceremoniously interrupt Putin’s meeting with cultural figures. Besulture is rudeness.
Is there really not a single person in the Protocol service of the Kremlin who would explain to the Protocol service of the king that interrupting the conversation is lack of culture and rudeness.?
What is a piercial and operational president and the king discussed that the conversation could not be postponed for an hour and a half?
Or Putin was deceived, saying that the king was dying, and that before his death he really wants to talk with Volodya's friend?
Or is Putin now from Russia calling so rarely that he is ready to rush to the phone by interrupting absolutely any meeting?
From, damn it, well, right carbonarium! With all the sheep straightforwardness, the rams expressed everything to the leader of the wolves of the pack! I just did not hear and a hint of what will happen, in his opinion, if the leader does not listen to them! Therefore, the empty is ... #Arkhangelsk #Putin #wolves #Russia https://t.co/rlcdae5xgs

Putin said that no one was pursuing Serebrennikov.
Such a pre -election gesture towards the intelligentsia, and the dungeons, as always
Well, it seems that the team has gone. In “Time” (in “Vesti” it was still at 20.00) for 15 minutes of the story about the Council of Culture (the first plot) there was not a sound about Serebrennikov Alexander Arkhangelsky, you did not even flash at the interruptions, and they did not report an unexpected break for an urgent telephone conversation for the first (they said in “Vesti”). It seems that the topic was extinguished
Good video (on "Medusa"), as Arkhangelsky performs at the Council for Culture. It is interesting not what Sasha says (we know this in the wording in which he sets out in many other words), but as Putin seems to be “too long”. And on Putin’s face it is written that all this is “already tired” (and he no longer plans to hide it).
Putin’s duty response is known to himself and all sitting. “Give a signal” (which Sasha asks) Putin is not going to, therefore, does not say: “Give me your materials, I will figure it out.” Because he had already figured it out for a long time: in the issue of Serebrennikov and Malobrodsky, he completely on the side of Medinsky and Shevkunov (because Serebrennikov "did not have to quarrel with the guys"), and Dmitrieva slowed down the Karelian FSB so that the Poles did not go to the graves, let him sit, "when they explained to him in a good way."
Therefore, he simply “pushes” one word “pursu” (from the whole Sashin performance). He only hears him and it is he who cannot be left unanswered. "Who is pursuing? If they were pursuing, they would not have allowed a performance!" (and such a weak wandering grin on the lips).
That's the whole story.
(86th day before the "Okrug Potin". "Acceptance of applications from cultural figures").
You want to know that Putin’s head, how does he think, what is he a lawyer?
Then listen to how he answered Alexander Arkhangelsk to his concern, in particular, by the work of Kirill Serebryannikov.
“As for Serebrennikov, you know well that if it were a persecution, and not an investigation, his performance would not be staged on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater, and this happened,” says Putin.
Hello, what does the so -called “business of the 7th studio” have to do with Serebrenikov, with whom the accusations of “fraud” are associated with 68 million state rubles, to the director of Nureyev at the Bolshoi Theater?
This is a typical example of Chekist wiring, where ballet is shown as a criminal case that is not yet taken hostage. Why should this ballet not prohibited (not taken hostage) should serve as evidence of the purity of the fraud (sorry, law enforcement) bodies?
Where is the Nureyev, and where is "7 studio"? ...
Now you know how high the professional legal level of the head of our state is.
In the organs of the Cheka ..., KGB, FSB, it is more than enough.
After the fact that Putin answered Arkhangelsk about Serebrennikov, what is the point of all these pleasant people to remain in the so -called "Council for Culture"?
They are insulted in the face, and they smile. Want to "at least do something"?
But they showed this "something." Then what?
In general, a very disturbing symptom, which, using the example of Putin, is simply more convexly visible when asking a question is more important than getting an answer. When it is more important to pronounce a certain thought than to convince someone.
There is no dialogue. There is no discussion. No debate. No arguments for and against. And the words "Yes, I was wrong, you convinced me." You can refer to the fact that Putin is a cunning tyrant and always leaves the answer, but in Facebook, where no one is Putin, the same thing happens. This is an orchestra where everyone plays not his own party, but his own concert. There is terrible cacophony, but everyone does not care. There is a million monologues in parallel. Everyone remains with their
