Nikolai Travkin: "Spring is the time of landing"

“My dear country is wide, there is a lot in it ... But there is not enough mind, as the Cat Matroskin said. Not that the mind is completely in the country, he is very scattered in the territory. But in order to gather in one place, concentrate and start to think about what interferes with normal people - this does not work out,” writes a former politician on his Facebook page.

"The Italians at the end of the 15th century even built a special microdistrict from the stone chambers on the Borovitsky Hill in Moscow and fenced the red brick fence. The king wanted to collect the most intelligent in these Kremlin chambers. From there it went - the" Mind of the Chamber. "They thought that the smart ones would gather and draw Russia's route to the happiness of the People’s.

It didn't work out. Either the place was not chosen, or the Italians were poured into the lime, but rarely in the Kremlin, they came up with this good for Russia. Often murderer, but bloodsiefters ruled the ball there. Or the thieves were replaced and the Russian wealth sought to drag their Kremlin to their wards. From there it went - "from the works of the righteous you can not acquire the chambers of stone."

From time to time, the Kremlin took something sensible from strangers, and tried to adapt in Rus'. If the borrowing concerned military affairs or decorated the life of the Kremlin inhabitants, then it took root well. For example, the guns stopped cleaning the brick with crushed brick, looking at the British. Blue and wigs curly in the French manner took root among the courtyard nobility.

And if the concept of abroad served as a relief of the lives of ordinary people and constrained people from the noble in habits, then did not take root!

This is probably our national feature. The mentality is so sharpened that in Rus' only those rules from which only people in power are good.
Here are the current ones there. The elected system was adopted from Europeans, and instead of using elections to search and promote smart people to power, they decided to adapt an elected mechanism to strengthen and irremovable their power.
Adapted. The vertical authorities built. A good vertical turned out. Strong. With one drawback.

If any links in vertical are subject to replacement, or partial reconstruction is needed, then exclusively through criminal cases. With landings. And you have to alternate. To maintain a general tone for each settled vertical, it is useful to grab one or two of those who have already left it and who began pleasure in the form of consumption of goods acquired in reserve.

It is this period of reconstruction that we are vertical today and are observing day after day. But they promise that by 2024 the vertical will be as new! ”
