Oleg Kozlovsky: "Putin is afraid of people"

"Putin is either one, or among specially selected and trained, and most often people familiar to him. All communication with the public is one -way: through the TV or, the maximum, rare short speeches in front of the supporters. The only relatively interactive format is a" direct line " - in fact, a performance with amateur actors who previously rehearse their roles," a public figure onFacebook writes as a result The president’s visit to Kemerovo.

“They say that Putin is afraid of people. Apparently, this is so, but two fears are mixed here. One is“ fear of the FSO. ”They are afraid for safety: how can you let the president people who were not checked by all the bases, did not take a non -disclosure subscription and blood test? What if the terrorist attack is rushing with your fists? No, it is necessary to fill everything out and if necessary. space with its employees.

But I think that Putin personally is stronger than another fear. He had not talked on equal terms with ordinary people for 20 years, did not walk among them through the streets, did not hold cash in his hands. What will they talk about? What can you ask? What is they generally on their minds?

Of course, he sees polls, but dry numbers will not help understand the feelings, troubles and hopes of a particular Sergey from Moscow or Natalia from Chelyabinsk. It is easy to get into trouble, seem empty and stupid. Fortunately, if you are a Russian president, you can simply give a sign - and you will reliably save you from the slightest need to see these incomprehensible, strange creatures. But the abyss will only grow, and fear with her. "
