A couple of phrases: quirks of political technology. Ksenia Sobchak vs Simeon Bekbulatovich

“When in AP they began to work on the 2018 campaign, the Kremlin sociologists were asked to measure the ratings of Sobchak, Dmitry Gudkov, Anton Krasovsky, Elena Flying and Oleg Tinkov ... Gudkov had too good ratings, and Sobchak had very high fame and at the same time huge anti -rating. The Kremlin realized that it was ideal ... In the summer of 2017, Sobchak began regular contacts with Kiriyenko ... A member of the Sobchak campaign gives the following example: it was after consulting Kiriyak to the Sobchak program that a point on the liquidation of the Ministry of Culture and the thesis on the abolition of the Russian Orthodox Church, which the TV presenter was proposed by the political technologists of its headquarters. Some techniques that worked for Sobchak admit that the presidential administration even invited them: they asked the Kremlin to “help Sobchak and hang out, work is work,” says one of them. Another political expert recalls that already during the campaign he wrote a negative column about Sobchak, after which they called him from the AP and asked not to do this anymore. ”

“Meanwhile, the state’s administration was still a new extravagance. Instead of, as before, to leave Zemstvina in the administration of the boyars, Ivan believed her baptized Tatar king Simeon Bekbulatovich and called him the Grand Duke of All Rus'; This happened in 1574. We are unknown to the next reason for this event, but, true, it is connected with another event: the king on Kremlin Square executed many boyars, the Chudovsky archimandrite and the Annunciation Protopop - his former favorites; After that, he created a ghostly Russian sovereign from the prisoner Tatar. Letters were written on behalf of the Grand Duke of All Rus' Simeon. Ivan himself titled himself only by the Moscow prince and, along with subjects, wrote petitions to Simeon with generally accepted humiliating forms, for example: “The sovereign, Grand Duke Simeon Bekbulatovich Ivaninets with his kids with the Ivanets, but he beats the brow with Fedorz. Sovereign, probably humble! " Two years later, Ivan deposed this Grand Duke of All Rus' and exiled to Tver. ”
