Alexey Roshchin: "How to become a folk hero"

"Putin, what became a good tradition with him, again in the fall began to resign governors in the fall. Such" autumn province ": leaves fall in nature, and in Russia there are governors. Last fall, he took off a dozen and a half, and the current pace is already ongoing: the heads of the Kurgan, Astrakhan region, the city of St. Petersburg, are already set aside, the city of St. Petersburg, the city of St. Petersburg, the city Just the other day, the head of the Chita region is expected, and in all, as they say, there will be at least a dozen “retirees,” writes a social psychologist in a “living magazine” .

“Moreover, the attached“ political scientists ”, feeding on the hands of the AP, discuss all these resignations in a completely everyday tone, and many, apparently, even quite sincerely consider what is happening as a completely routine procedure. Well, like what is it? We have a“ king ”, hehe. The regions of his“ his ”, people are also“ his ”; here he is a deck of the appointment, like a nibblership,“ four skies. There are no yours! "

It is not even embarrassed by anyone that the “routine procedure” is arranged: after all, the scenario of all resignations is really standard, which is already a year: the planned victim is called from the region to Moscow for “conversation”, there, apparently, our Don Corleone makes a “proposal, which he cannot refuse” - and he obediently writes a request for a resignation for the highest name. Everything is quiet.

Actually, why? Why do all these people obediently write the statement "on their own"? The answer is obvious - out of fear. What are they afraid of? They are afraid that in case of refusal they will be arrested: they will sew the case, solder the "theft" - and they will put them like a good old for 10-15 years. Otherwise, what would they quit?

That is, all these “resignations” are frankly mafia in nature - people are protruding with an election, I note, a position under the threat of custom -made criminal prosecution. The governors have no inviolability, no their own power structures - that is, before the federal guardsmen, they are absolutely defenseless (like all of us). Therefore, they do not dance.

Everyone is understandable - but this does not cancel the fact that we are dealing, in fact, with federal raiding, or rather, with the seizure of power in the region/regions through the unlawful use of the federal "law enforcement" (here only in quotation marks) of the system. Everyone, I hope, is clear that in a normal state, the “criminal” cannot be used as a baton in the hands of a “first person”: if the governor has an incriminator, start a case, conduct an investigation, file a lawsuit; There is no "so far" grounds for persecution - let the person work!

Question: Why does Putin act so awkwardly, on the verge of a foul - a challenge, a conversation, a sudden "retirement"? Why doesn’t it just dismiss “out of distrust” - after all, the president of the country has such an instrument? Why is this Jesuity?

The answer is also simple - the tool is mutual. Afraid of cutting. Firstly, if you dismiss the leadership of 10-15 regions every year - the question will inevitably arise, what is this "incredulous" for the president in the country? 20% of regional leaders per year to change - it is no longer like paranoia!

And secondly, and the main ones - such a “removal” of the chosen governor is, after all, whatever one may say, the conflict is not only with one person, but also with the population. It turns out how: people, which means they chose the regional chapter, gave him where 70, where all 80% of the vote - and Putin, see him, "does not believe." People, therefore, expressed confidence - and Putin is distrust. And so 10 times in a row. The question arises by itself - but is the Moscow "king" take over? Moreover, he is actually not the king, but also, like the governors, the leader elected for a while?

So it’s clear why Putin is afraid to apply “distrust” too often. Strictly speaking, it is not clear where he generally got such a right - to remove the chosen leaders, that is, to contrast his “higher“ legitimacy ”of the lower, given by the people (voters) of legitimacy. Here, the governors, say, have never had the right to remove the elected mayors in the territory of their regions - although they really wanted him. But no - they did not give such a right. And for some reason Putin has it.

But I am still waiting for the daredevil, who will directly and openly send the head of the Moscow mafia among the governors with his "proposal, which cannot be abandoned." It was with such a justification that, they say, dear Vladimir Vladimirovich, who chose the people, the people, the people and take it off their posts. I won’t resign, I have not yet fulfilled all my election promises, please excuse me, if I offended with anything. I have an honor!

It would be a good speech, and the baking would be a noble one. Would Moscow dare to arrest Moscow after such a governor? Question. But he would definitely become a folk hero. "Let you die! But in the song of brave and strong spirit you will always be a living example ..."

Sorry, I was noticed. "
