An attempt to talk to the United States with the faithful and dedicated elites of Russia is started on top of the owner’s head, this is his wiring
At a meeting with his own trustees, the presidential candidate Vladimir Putin , not included in the “Kremlin list” of the US Treasury, joked about this: “insulting”. The candidate, in general, was on the blow - also joked about Nikita Mikhalkov. He called the director a "cultural figure." And what, in the present time, is a successful joke.
But everything else, said by the candidate Putin about the American list, is no longer a joke. “Think about yourself” (a wonderful appeal from a person for whom foreign policy adventures have long become both the meaning of life and the main content of the activity), “all of us, all 146 million were brought into some list”, “this is an unfriendly act” and so on. Those who see the broadcast will confirm - the self -nominee Putin was clearly angry.
Although, it would seem, where to get angry. Before the candidate is a full hall of proxies. Directors, actors, athletes, honorary pensioners and ordinary hard workers. For young people - the reper of Timati, for those who are more serious - Evgeny Vaganovich Petrosyan. Each word is listened with enthusiasm, admiration is not hidden. No, it is clear, of course: suddenly if that, the same Nikita Mikhalkov will be the first to run to demand the renaming of the city Vladimir to the city of Alexei Anatolyevich, as well as the immediate demolition of the “Putin Center”, but so far nothing happened.

Or still ... there is, this nervous list of 210 surnames. Jokes about the hacking work of American clerks, about compilation of the Forbes list and telephone reference books are not without reason, there are people completely random on the list, like the head of the HRC Mikhail Fedotov or the telegonic ombudsman Anna Kuznetsova. But besides them, all the business elite, including those who are used to dodging from the ostentatious demonstrations of loyalty, and the entire bureaucratic elite.
Funny nuance. At first, Putin said to the authorized persons: "I did not look at the list myself." And then he demonstrated a detailed acquaintance with the list. It does not work to speak out, not the same, the habit is the second nature.
You can, of course, mock the laziness of the compilers of the list, you can explain the appearance of just such a list in the intra -American political struggle. And certainly there is no reason to doubt that the included (and even more so included) the country's owners rush to prove that the new sanctions will only contribute to the rallying of the country around the national leader.
Actually, they have already rushed, although there are no new sanctions yet. The prime minister Dmitry Medvedev, who managed to report that the absence on the list was “a reason to quit”, pleases connoisseurs of the connoisseurs of the power of their own intelligence. A man was in a hurry, I forgot that there is no, for example, Vladimir Putin on the list. Vice Speaker of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin, a wise and experienced flatterer, sees the list in the list of a kind of recognition of our achievements: "The more Russia will become, the more attempts will be attempts to weaken our country." The figures of a smaller caliber make similar speeches, and even the Telegonik Ombudsman Anna Kuznetsova swears in response to arrogant machinations (accountant of Kukushkind, crossed out) Donald Trump to help the children even more. Which, of course, the parents should at least be alert.
No, it is clear, of course: if suddenly that, the same Nikita Mikhalkov will be the first to run to demand the renaming of the city Vladimir to the city of Alexei Anatolyevich, as well as the immediate demolition of the “Putin Center”, but for now nothing happened
But there is one thing that a self -nominated Putin cannot but understand. No matter how you explain the list, whatever absurdities do not look for in it - it still remains for the defendants an invitation to the conversation. From the other side they hint that acquaintance with Putin is so -so asset, but they do not introduce new sanctions (so far), that is, they give doubts the opportunity to think about their behavior and draw appropriate conclusions. No, of course, hardly many rush to give up - they are not suicides, in the end, and they are well aware that the quarrel with Putin is much worse now than a quarrel with the Americans, but they heard this invitation. And now to which of the closest can self -nominated Putin trust completely? Who to look at without suspicion? Here he is, so he tells you how Russia's wise leadership spent under your wise leadership and what unimaginable heights have reached, but where is the guarantee that it is not mentally pretending to be - is it already time to run away, saying goodbye to the inconceivable prosperity of the homeland for its own modest prosperity?
But this is half a bastard. The trouble is that an attempt to talk with the faithful, dedicated and wealthy is started on top of the owner’s head. The list is an undoubted sign that no one is going to talk with Putin himself. He is ready to endure as an inevitable trouble, but they do not see a partner in him. This is already a shame for real.
However, the only really important thing is not for the elites, not for those who have fallen or did not get on the list, but for us, ordinary residents of the Russian Federation, voiced above Vyacheslav Volodin with unexpected directness. “Ordinary people will become hostages of the ambitions of representatives of the American elite,” said the chairman of the State Duma. This is true. We will pay by local tradition for any troubles close to the emperor, giants of thought and fathers of Russian democracy.
