Dunno on the moon: the secrets of the career successes of Dmitry Rogozin
In Russian politics there is one amazing character even by its standards. We know examples of jesters that you like and are convenient for the ruling elite, they have access to the media and even a parliamentary rostrum. This, for example, is the late leader of the LDPR Vladimir Zhirinovsky . Or the well-known defender of Turtles, the leader of the Rodina party, but the member of the LDPR faction Alexei Zhuravlev again. They are not clothed with real power. There are more serious people who speak with rivers for a normally thinking person at least strange, but the corresponding views of Vladimir Putin on the world around him. They are not entertaining the president, rather, assent. This is the deputy chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev (there is a legend that he himself was president and even said something about freedom, but this is not for sure) and the State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin. They, of course, are state-owned and even some power, but there is no influence on real economic and economic processes. Therefore, let them say - they can. People with weight, disposing of something that can be felt until they prefer to keep silent. However, in this series there are exceptions, or rather, an exception, and this exception is the exception of Dmitry Rogozin. Since 2018, Rogozin has been led by the Goskosmos State Corporation. This is a serious structure, which includes dozens of enterprises and design bureaus. These are billions of turnover and budget infusions - a real sector, much more real. In theory, a professional, a technician with a scientific degree, or an experienced economist with a techie in the swing, should command such a Makhina. Rogozin cannot be attributed to techies with all the desire. By education - a journalist, by vocation - a populist and propagandist.
From heart into space
Last week, he accepted Putin at the Vostochny cosmodrome, and not only accepted, but deserved praise from the president and promise to expand the zone of influence to combat missile systems. Against the backdrop of constant scandals with the falls of Roscosmos missiles, such support does not look the most logical and even absurd step. But now Rogozin is clearly on a horse, and even ridiculous jokes in social networks did not become an obstacle to his career, or even helped her.
In the 90s, Rogozin happily demonstrated where his heart is and where the sun is. He looked like a radical politician even for dashing and free nineties, when it was possible to talk about and to do something, except that Hitler was not recommended to walk with a portrait. In the middle of the zero, Dmitry Rogozin was lucky - he was noticed by the Kremlin political technologists, and specifically Marat Gelman. The presidential administration seriously bothered the Communist Party of the Communist Party, which could score more votes in the State Duma in the State Duma than United Russia. Putin’s power was strengthened, he needed a stable majority in the State Duma, and the Communists could destroy these plans. The output was chosen the simplest - to crush and crack their electorate, spraying the voices. The young nationalist Dmitry Rogozin called this then to do this. By that time, he became more respectable - he stopped showing the road to the sun, and was like Vladimir Zhirinovsky - just "for the poor and for the Russians." Based on these considerations, the Rodina block was created, led by Rogozin and ultrapatriotic economist Sergei Glazyev. AP calculations were justified - the homeland received 9.1% of the vote, the Communists performed quite weakly. However, the "homeland" unpredictably began to gain momentum, and the Kremlin did not like it.
