Igor Klyamkin: "Surkov wrote an ode"

“More than once I had to write about the fact that the Russian state was originally built, and then it was reproduced differently on three supports, which tsar, the army and prison. And everything else-Zemstvo cathedrals, State Duma, councils of deputies, and so on, replaceable political jewelry,” writes the vice-president of the Liberal Mission Foundation on his Facebook page.

“For some reason, this description was perceived as criticism. Now, after the release of the text of Mr. Surkov , perception, I hope, will change. He wrote almost the same in the genre of the ode. Having added that the state is natural for Russia, because the people are derived from the people. And since the people are for a long time, if not forever, then the state in its latest Putin model for a long time, if not, and adding it, and adding it, and adding it. That this model is not marginal, that it will (and already become) a model for everyone.

It remains to wait for what Putin himself will say now. Before that, he assured the world that Russia, a governed, is not only a democratic country among the others, but also one of the most democratic in the world. From the essay of Mr. Surkov it follows that these are words that do not deserve serious attention, that other cornerstones, except for the omnipotent supreme ruler and the military police car subordinate to him, should not be sought in the Russian state. ”
