Alexander Golts: "Hello, Russian autocracy"

“The new composition of the Putin government is certainly a landmark. Moreover, several signs were sent,” writes the chief editor of the Daily Journal .

"The first signal - all the conversations of the chief chief about" digitalization "and other technological breaks into modernity are a concussion. The backbone of the Russian cabinet is the good old horses, which are not changed at the crossing. If we talk about the so -called socio -economic bloc, in the best case, these will not allow oil income, which, for the happiness of the president, began to grow again. But no one They are not capable of modernization. "

"The second signal is effective and from the future will be considered obscurantists, such as Vladimir Medinsky and Olga Vasilyeva. Therefore, the tireless work on strengthening the connection of" Orthodoxy "and" nationality "will continue. The main criterion for efficiency remains loyalty to the owner."

“Finally, the third and main signal is the regime not only in content, but also in form turns into an autocratic monarchy. It is deeply logical that the position of Minister of Agriculture was taken by Dmitry Patrushev. It was his father Nikolai Patrushev, now the Secretary of the Security Board, when he was the director of the FSB, said that state security officers are“ nevertheless ”in our country.

"Another iconic purpose is the statement of the Putin guard Evgeny Zinichev by the Minister of Emergencies. There is no doubt, after Sergey Shoigu left the rescue department, it has lost a lot in the eyes of the Russians. It is enough to recall the helplessness of the Emcheus chiefs when flooded in Krymsk and during the fire in the" Winter Cherry ", and even in dozens of cases. Only who said that he said, with the most complicated A person who is frightened by the need to communicate with people as the governor of the Kaliningrad region will cope with public work? ”

“If in Russia, the parliament, and not the Third Department of the Administration, which only by virtue of the tradition is called the Federal Assembly, the people's chosen ones on the stone would not have left these appointments. The independent press would meticulously find out what kind of qualities and abilities of the general son and Putin adjutant allow them to entrust them with the most important posts in the state system.

However, both the parliament and the media do not control the Kremlin in any way. There is no need to talk about the independence of the judiciary. All these institutions are purely decorative. And according to the laws of biology, an organ that is not used inevitably degrades. In fact, Russia today is an autocratic monarchy with an irremovable boss, whose decisions are not questioned by anyone. "
