Together with the deterioration of the "geopolitical situation", Russian officials become more frank. Starting with the classic maxim “there is no money, but you hold on”, expressed by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, civil servants and public figures serving power are increasingly saying what they really think. It turns out rudely and disappointing: an unspoken agreement between the authorities and citizens is violated, within the framework of which Russians are given benefits in exchange for non -interference in the affairs of officials. There was no money left - and the intervention began by itself.
The authorities of the authorities were unable to rebuild, therefore, they fall under the rink of public criticism after each of their sincere statements from their point of view. Each new public phrase becomes sharper - as if officials compete with each other. Moreover, if at the beginning of this season, officials basically flaunted their free ideas about morality, as in the case of a deputy of Slutsky, now they have focused on the study of citizens' wallets.
The correspondents of the "Novy" selected the wildest statements of the authorities for 2018 and suggest readers to choose whose nonsense is cooler, during the voting on the site
“Shukshin said wonderfully:“ It’s not ashamed to be poor, it’s a shame to be cheap. ” Do not accept at your own expense, this again refers to reasoning. ”

Context. At the end of September, the State Duma deputy from the Bryansk region, boxer Nikolai Valuev held an online conference on the Interskol website. Among the questions that came, there was a cry of the soul from a resident of the city of Leninsk-Kuznetsk Alevtina Makarova: “Hello, Kolya. It is unpleasant and even ashamed to live poor in rich Russia. That's all I wanted to say. ” In response, Valuev, walking, quoted the Soviet classic.
The most interesting thing began later. Valuev’s message was deleted (obviously, in many respects due to a violent public reaction), and he himself gave a prostrate comment that “if society decided to respond aggressively to Shukshin, what remains?” What the deputy Valuev had in mind for 2017, he did not explain more than 10 million rubles, but traditionally referred to the fact that his words were “pulled out of context”.
Consequences. At the cost of the services of deputy Nikolai Valuev, this online conference did not affect. According to Alexei Kudrin, 13.2% of Russians have income below the subsistence level in the country, but it is believed that the population’s incomes will grow for the first time this year. At the same time, according to the November polls, a fifth of Russians barely collects money for food.

“Maybe with the participation of a child in an unauthorized rally, more than two times, it is worth considering the possibility of depriving parental rights.”

Context. After adolescents began to come to rallies organized by Alexei Navalny, State Duma deputies thought for a long time how to calm the activity of children, who scares more people's deputies than pleasing. On November 6, parliamentarians adopted a law in the first reading, which prescribed the introduction of administrative responsibility for involving minors in unauthorized rallies. However, the deputy from "United Russia" Sergei Vertzov decided to go further: to separate their parents and the children-squeezers.
“I think that there should be a fine,” Vostretsov told the Moscow Agency. - Of course, not such huge amounts as for the organizers of rallies, but even 3-5 thousand rubles for the first time will be enough. For repeated participation - you have to think. If parents are not engaged in their children, maybe there must be a custody signal so that they take such families to control. That is, this is a signal for a deeper study: whether it is necessary to leave children to such parents who do not engage in their children. Perhaps, with the participation of a child in an unauthorized rally, it is worth considering the possibility of deprivation of parental rights more than twice. ”
This threat, according to Veretsov, will help the "youngsters" understand that it is one thing to rustle, and another to expose the family’s budget. Well, apparently, the family itself.
Consequences. Only the children's ombudsman in the Moscow region Ksenia Mishonova publicly spoke out against this proposal. But even in the spirit of "probably this is a tough measure." I must say that Vostretsov himself took his initiative into the shadow (at least for now) and suggested a new one: to fine those self -employed who will not make social contributions for themselves. During the preparation of the number in the seal, the deputy distinguished himself again, advising the “Belarusians” with higher education not to complain about unemployment, but to look at the vacancies of malyars and cleaners.

"The state did not ask [your parents] to give birth to you."

Context. Olga Glatsky official, answering the question of a lack of financing for children's projects, during a meeting with volunteers in Kirovgrad on November 5, tried to inspire the idea that it was time for young people to be independent and not succumb to paternalism. It turned out as awkward as possible. “To date, it turned out that the younger generation has an understanding that the state owes everything. No, the state in general in principle owe nothing to you. You should be your parents who gave birth to you. The state did not ask you to give birth, ”said Glutsky.
The next day, the Glatsky was removed from the post for the time of the audit (she went on vacation to the islands), and the Governor of the Sverdlovsk Region Yevgeny Kuyvashev announced his disagreement with the words of the subordinate and assured that "of course, the state had obligations to its citizens and will fulfill them."
Consequences. The Glatsky first wanted to fire. But, in fact, now the official is only removed from office for the duration of the investigative audit. The local SK started the audit: investigators are interested in the spending of 131 million rubles by the Department of Youth Policy, which was headed by the official. Some events were held at the Panorama business center, related to the deputy of the local legislative assembly. The SK said that they plan to find out “why did you take events with youth not in nature, not in pioneer camps, but in the premium hotel.”

"A woman at the forefront puts career growth, and not her physiological capabilities intended for her."

Context. On November 21, Senator Tatyana Kusaiko tried to explain problems with the birth rate in Russia on the air of the Moscow Radio station. According to the parliamentarian, the whole point is that women in Russia are simply doing what they should have been doing for centuries. “The woman takes on the function of a man, first of all, at the forefront puts his career growth, and not her own, as we say, the physiological capabilities intended for her,” the senator said. Later, a member of the Council wanted to refute her own words: she explained that the state seeks to help women who do not have the opportunity to give birth, but “sometimes it happens that a woman puts a career in the first place,” and this, according to the Senator, “is not primary.”
Consequences. Tatyana Kusaiko continues to work as a senator from the Murmansk region.

"Tsepovyaz Vyacheslav Andreevich - a well -known entrepreneur, legitimate deputy, philanthropist, hereditary farmer."

Context. In the fall, photographs from the colony in the Amur Region appeared in the public domain, in which Vyacheslav Tsepovyaz, a member of the “gang of tsapov”, eats all kinds of delicacies in the walls of the colony. The photo turned out to be two years ago, but a big scandal rose. In the midst of the discussion, the head of the public observation commission, a member of the local public chamber Natalia Okhotnkova published a post on Instagram, where she wrote that everyone pounced on the Tseproshyta. “In the photo of Tsepovyaz, Vyacheslav Andreevich is a famous entrepreneur, legitimate deputy, philanthropist, hereditary farmer,” writes Okhotnikova. - Not a single person was injured directly from his actions, there are no victims. These irrefutable facts proceed from the analysis of the indictment, sentence and court ruling. So, in general, I wanted to convey information so far that this person is not a killer, and mass media information is a vile lie. ”
The Okhotnkova post caused a huge misunderstanding from other social activists. In particular, the singer Diana Gurtskaya said: “When we are told about this person’s“ hereditary farmer ”, I recall a nine -month Amir, burned by bandits alive.” Gurtskaya demanded the dismissal of Okhotnikova - and she soon resigned.
Consequences. Following his leader, the entire composition of the PMC of the Amur Region resigned. The indignation from other social activists and the media called the PMCs called "Hastecle."

“It’s good, if one race, and if the other race, then at all. We must give birth to our children. ”

Context. Before the start of the World Cup in Russia in June, officials were concerned about the morality of Russians - and especially the Russians. On June 13, the day before the start of the mundial, the deputy and head of the State Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children Tamara Pletnev spoke about the fact that the Russians should not enter into sexual relations with foreign fans. She compared the World Cup with the 1980 Olympics: after it, the number of single mothers increased, the deputy is confident, and their children suffered without fathers and in an atmosphere of public rejection.
“These kids later suffer and suffer, since the time of Soviet power. Well, if another race, and if another race, then at all. We must give birth to our children. I am not a nationalist, but nevertheless. I know that the children suffer, and then they throw them, and that’s all, and they stay here with their mother, ”said Pletneva on the air of the Moscow Radio Says Moscow. The deputy predicted the same fate to Russian women after the championship: “Even if they get married, they take it away, then she does not know how to return from there. Then they go to my committee, the girls cry that the child was taken away. "
Consequences. Pletneva’s warnings went into the glorious calling (that is, giving girls for their supposedly “slush behavior”). On June 27, an article by the writer Platon Besedin “Time of whores” appeared on the Moscow Komsomolets website.
“The Russian girls who envelop foreigners, the concepts of shame, morality, and morality are completely deleted from consciousness,” the writer is indignant. - We raised a generation of whores ready to spread their legs with only the sounds of foreign speech. And if you also become a dollar, then completely oh-huh! ”
This article and the statements of Pletneva caused a stormy discussion in specialized women's magazines and the rise of feminist sentiments in society.
It is interesting that Tamara Pletneva had previously become famous for the statement that the journalists who accused Leonid Slutsky of Harassment were to blame, as they walked along the Duma with “naked navels”. They get dressed “more likely”, nothing would have happened, the official is convinced. And at the end of October, the deputy called for “limit the Internet” and, in particular, dating sites, since she personally does not understand the modern dating model, and in her time the guys and girls, having met, “were necessarily registered”.
By the way, not one of such sayings was not the reason for doubts whether the deputy Pletnev copes well with the post of head of the State Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children.

“Slow down the pace, colleagues! Where will I find you so many journalists?! "

Context. On February 22, three journalists accused the deputy of sexual harassment. The head of the American edition of RTVI, Ekaterina Kutrikadze, the rain producer Daria Zhuk and the BBC Russian Correspondent, Fariza Rustamova, made public accusations of Harassment. The deputy Slutsky, of course, rejected everything, believing that the accusations of journalists against him were a provocation of the West, it is no coincidence that it was timed to the presidential election in March 2018. However, on his Facebook, Slutsky was much more frank: the deputy’s colleagues arranged a playful Battle in the comments. Anton Morozov suggested “taking a couple of journalists” to himself. Unicorn Alexei Gabisov echoed: "I will also take three on myself." Slutsky let down the line: “Slow down the pace, colleagues! Where will I find you so many journalists?! "
Against the backdrop of a parallel developing story with producer Harvey Weinstein, who was also accused of Harassment, could be expected to flog. But it turned out to be the other way around: Slutsky was supported by the deputies' colleagues: the Duma ethics commission, led by Otari Archbo, according to the results of the closed meeting on March 21, did not find any “violation by Slutskiy behavioral norms”, and in the conclusion it was indicated that the synchronism of the charges of journalists on the eve of the presidential election testifies to them. Vladimir Pozdnyakov, a member of the ethics commission, in a conversation with the “new” explained that Slutsky’s actions are not a harassment, but “a manifestation of love”. His colleague Raisa Karmazina told The Insider: “No one has melted to me. It was three hundred times more beautiful than they! And not more stupid! I have been working for 50 years - 49 years of experience will be July 1 - from the age of 18, no one has melted! No one has melted! I did not give a reason and did not give anything! And if anyone had a yarn, he would slap! "
Later, Vitaly Tretyakov, the dean of the Higher School of Television of Moscow State University, also stood up behind Slutsky: he expressed the opinion that "a man in certain circumstances could put his hand on a naked knee for a woman, and if there was any other [place] in trousers."
Consequences. According to the results of the first public Russian scandal related to sexual harassment, nothing has actually changed. Slutsky not only did not give up the deputy mandate, but also did not add up the powers of the head of the Committee on International Affairs. He also did not leave the post of head of the international relations of the political science faculty of Moscow State University. Dozens of Russian media, including the “New”, announced the boycott of Slutsky and withdrew accredited journalists from the Duma. The latest study of the rain shows that the media as a whole began to quote deputies less often: the public influence of Slutsky and his friends are falling.

"Makaroshki always stand the same"

Context. On October 10, after a meeting of the working group of the Duma Committee on Social Policy in the Saratov Region, the local Minister of Labor Natalya Sokolova entered into a polemic with the Communist Deputy Nikolai Bondarenko. The essence of the dispute was that the subsistence minimum in the region in 2019 proposed to raise 288 rubles, and deputies insisted on raising 500 rubles. At the same time, the agency offers the low -income residents of Saratov to spend 3,500 rubles on the products.
Bondarenko proposed to put an experiment and live the minister with that kind of money. To this, Sokolova first stated that “our status does not allow you to slide”, and then issued one of the most memorable tirade of 2018. “I don’t eat meat for 20 years,” said Sokolova. - We need to use seasonal, our vegetables and fruits. In each season there are products that are cheaper and which are worth it. And pasta always stand the same. Are you a believer? And that is, 40 days of fasting - and everyone becomes only healthier. ” At the end, the minister added that she could live on a living wage for a month, but then "I will go to look for another job."
Consequences. Sokolova’s statements hit the video and parted on the Internet. The reckoning followed immediately: Governor Valery Radaev sent the minister to resign because he considered the reputation losses for the entire device too much. Deputy Nikolai Bondarenko conducted his experiment and lived for 3.5 thousand rubles for a month: he lost more than seven kilograms and for some reason went to the studio of the program “Time to tell” where the leading and invited guests almost produced him.

"Are you wanting to have to be on the mountain?"

Context. On March 25, a strong fire occurred in the Winter Cherry shopping center in Kemerovo: 60 people died, most of them are children. A day later, the unfortunate and embittered by the grief of the city reached the streets of the city. On the same day, Vladimir Putin came to the city, but he did not come to the rally: the vice-governor of the region Sergey Tsivilev went to talk with the protesters. Igor Vostrikov, who lost his loved ones during the fire of his loved ones, Tsivilev reacted to the impulsive speech of the Kemerovo, reacted with the accusation traditional for the Russian official: “Young man, do you want to have a trace on the mountain?” Later at the same rally, Tsivilev seemed to realize the unfortunate of the wording and even stood before the protesters on his knees.
Consequences. In the following days, Tsivilev’s colleagues, including Governor Aman Tuleyev, have repeatedly stated that such a rally was an attempt to “discredit power” and that there were a lot of “heated youth” on it. According to the results of the tragedy, Aman Tuleyev resigned, and Sergei Tsivilev took his place. In September, Tsivilev officially became the governor: he was chosen with a result of more than 80 percent of the vote. Igor Vostrikov also went to the polls, but could not get into the Council of People's Deputies of the Kemerovo region.

- Now such statements of politicians are perceived more emotionally than before. When in the country [economic] growth, as in zero, you do not pay attention to what the representatives of the elites say: "Well, they say and say, my salary is growing." When there is a feeling that there are enemies around, and you are in the siege, but the Crimea is attached, you have fewer complaints. There is a feeling that you are with this official in the same fortress besieged by the Americans and Ukrainians. Now, in fact, stagnation, the effect of the annexation of Crimea has passed, geopolitics worries less and less. Therefore, words that yesterday would not attract attention cause a sharp and emotional reaction.
Why do officials say that? I would not say that they do not know their country. The current politicians did not go down to us from Mars
And they did not come from Austria, like Maria Antoinette in France. There are two interconnected points. Firstly, we have a gap between official propaganda and the real opinion of elites about what is good and what is bad. Пропаганда говорит, что человек должен трудиться для страны и народа, что учитель, врач или инженер — уважаемые профессии, не бросившие страну в 90-е. Но для них [единственный] вариант — когда ты не уходишь со своего места и продолжаешь работать, даже если тебе не платят зарплату. С точки зрения наших элит, это не те люди, которые спасают страну, а те, кто не может найти себе работу. Когда такой человек приходит к чиновнику и говорит, что государство ему чем-то обязано, эти люди вспоминают свой бизнес-опыт 90-х годов, когда они не надеялись на государство, а устраивали себя сами. У них идет эмоциональное неприятие: «Вот я замечательный и умный, сделал карьеру и обеспечил семью, а ты чего ходишь ко мне?». Это входит в сильный резонанс с политкорректностью, требующей уважения к уволенным людям или к людям, зарабатывающим немного. А этого уважения нет. Но у врача, учителя и инженера тоже нет уважения к государственному служащему. Нет взаимного уважения.
Другой момент заключается в том, что в условиях стагнации (а у нас сейчас именно это) количество просьб растет, а количество денег уменьшается. Как говорил наш премьер-министр: «Денег нет, но вы держитесь».
Тема взаимного неуважения усугубляется и становится более эмоциональной.
Это похоже на вторую половину 80-х годов, когда у государства стало мало денег. К нему приходят люди, имеющие права и льготы, а государство ничего не может им дать. Отсюда эмоциональная реакция госслужащих. Когда стоял вопрос о льготах воевавшим в Афганистане, один чиновник сказал фразу, ставшую мемом: «Я вас в Афганистан не посылал».
Раньше к чиновникам претензии были не только в связи с хамством и грубостью, но и потому, что у чиновников были привилегии — возможность покупать товары в специальных магазинах: условный батон колбасы, исчезавшей из обычных магазинов. Это вызывало неприятие в бедно живущей стране. Сейчас неприятие тоже есть, но другого уровня: колбаса в магазинах есть, однако разрыв доходов между представителями элиты и населением резко увеличился. Речь уже идет не о батонах колбасы, а о том, что, например, чиновница Ольга Глацких поехала отдыхать на Сейшельские острова.

— Важно понимать, что подобные высказывания — это не новое и не изолированное явление. Это публичная манифестация уходящего представления о государстве. Мы часто говорим о патернализме применительно к гражданам, но из гражданского сознания такая картина мира постепенно уходит. Люди всё больше сознают, что государство никакой не родитель, распределяющий по доброте блага, а, напротив, чрезвычайно дорогостоящая для гражданина структура.
Счастливые времена перманентно растущих цен, очевидно, уже в прошлом. Государство, получающее львиную доходов от их экспорта и распределяющее средства по населению, тоже в прошлом. Сегодня государство требует всё больше — повышает налоги, сборы, платежи, тарифы. Недели не проходит без оригинальной идеи по изъятию денежных купюр из кошельков граждан. Одновременно государство снимает с себя социальные обязательства: повышает пенсионный возраст, снижает льготы и субсидии. Люди всё больше понимают, что налоговые сборы лежат на плечах работодателя: сами граждане не заполняют эту декларацию, не видят каждый год, как растет стоимость содержания дорогущего государства, которое в ответ ничего не даёт. Сложно не заметить рост коммунальных платежей, подорожание бензина или продуктов питания. Результатом постепенного отмирания патернализма и приходящего ему на смену раздражения становятся вот такие артефакты, которые мы видели, например, на региональных выборах этой осенью. Никакие административные усилия не помогли кандидатам от власти победить.
Причем патернализм работает в обе стороны: если у граждан это представление уже уходит, то госаппарат живёт в прежней логике раздающей блага петрократии. Мне кажется, что наши политики еще не понимают, что разговаривают с гражданами-налогоплательщиками, а не раздают милости подданным, как они привыкли думать. Они не понимают, что на дворе 2018 год, и каждое слово из тех, что еще вчера остались бы за закрытыми дверями, сегодня оборачивается для них большим публичным скандалом. Мы живем уже в другом, прозрачном мире.
Государство, которое содержит каждый гражданин, просто не работает — и люди это чувствуют.
Чиновники, которые живут в своем стеклянном доме, до сих пор существуют в парадигме «мы их содержим», на самом деле всё ровно наоборот.
Это пережиток, который люди чувствуют намного лучше, чем чиновники.
С ростом недовольства и финансовым неблагополучием люди всё больше сознают свою связь с государством, они осознают, что нет никаких «государственных денег»: если есть деньги, то это деньги, взятые из их кармана.
Это небыстрый процесс, происходящий далеко не последние полгода. Представление о том, что государственные средства будут гарантированы гражданам до конца жизни, постепенно уходит. При этом раздражение тем, как живут чиновники на деньги из кармана граждан, позволяя себе хамские высказывания, будет расти всё больше и больше — и это справедливо. Выборы в Приморском крае показали, что подобная реакция общества вполне может приобрести жёсткий характер.
Политики оторвались от реальности, а когда вы живете в другом мире, вы теряете ощущение связи с нормальной жизнью. Это понятный эффект: тебе кажется, что ты непобедим. Мне кажется совершенное очевидным, что они просто оторвались от орбиты и никогда к ней больше не вернутся, поэтому их время сочтено.
Чиновники живут в системе координат, где каждый ведет себя одинаково, более того: залог сохранения этой системы заключается во встраивании в эту систему. Они наверняка всё понимают, но по-другому действовать уже не могут, потому что это означало бы оторваться от этой системы, от этой кормушки.
Я не думаю, что это глупые люди, но тут как футболе: если вы играете за одну команду, и кто-то неправильно побежал, то вся команда подстраивается под этот маневр. Они ведут себя командно — их стратегия тоже командная.
