How Dmitry Medvedev turned into nothing

Ivan Davydov explains the degradation of the ex-president of Russia

Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev immediately after the start of the war changed his tone - now he is one of the most rude and radical politicians in Russia. On November 4, Medvedev published a program post in his telegram channel, in which he stated that the goal of Russia was to stop Satan, Lucifer or Iblis. What happened to a person who used to advocate modernization, friendship with the West and the development of technology, ”explains publicist Ivan Davydov

Making lists of what has changed forever, they often forget about the transformation of an inconspicuous official of the Council of People's Commissars of Medvedev D.A. in the most vivid publicist of the country. Yes, of course, you can laugh at him. They laugh at him. Even the associates laugh. Even paid bloggers from the Simonyanov pool are neatly bothering . And when bloggers from the Simonyanovsky pool are bored with you-this is something like early funeral service.

Why not laugh, but this is his records are pulled into quotes. His images go into the people, his phrases turn into memes. And try to say that this is not so. What, weakly, a pack of grunts? It is not possible to deny the obvious, short -lived inhabitants with a saliva that flowing down the chin? Well, the same.

To be honest, I even envy him. For many years and I am trying to produce something like journalism, but I could not rise to such heights. And I will never be able to. Surrendered, reconciled. And Dmitry Anatolyevich was enough for several months.

Here, compare , a little more than a year ago: “Yes, EP has long been a ruling party, but she confirms this right every time in the elections. The CPSU did not confirm this right in the elections, because there was no competition, she did not compete with anyone. The party was one. You know how in an old joke: the party is one, but you need to knock louder. And EP always receives confirmation of his status, even in very difficult conditions and in conditions of real competition. If she is not ready for her, she will lose the status of the ruling party. ” Some dull chewing gum from a gray party functionary. And now : “On degenerates from the Polish Foreign Ministry, requiring compensation for“ military losses ”from Russia, you can react in two ways. Or prepare them an account “For everything” that the USSR transferred to Poland during the period of socialism. And this is hundreds of billions of dollars. Or say that they are wiped with their filthy calculation. It is known that due to sanctions, toilet paper in the EU has risen in price. ” Flame, fire, explosion, volcanic eruption! The speech is not a boy, but a husband-or even something worse.

And this, note, I still do not remember the iblisa (with a small letter). I keep myself in my hands. Although Iblis, of course, is also for the heir to the bear .

A man lived, did not touch anyone specially, collected sneakers, apparently loved his duck . At least the house built her very comfortable. And suddenly this all -devouring rage!

Conspirologists are sophisticated in assumptions. Who writes all this for him? Dugin? Prokhanov? Galvanized corpse of the legendary Zoil, ancient dirty tricks? And most importantly - why? Medvedev - suggest - joined in the race of successors. Indeed, in the course of a large transit, only hawks have chances, and he has to aggravate his own position as much as possible to prove that he is a formidable predator, no worse than senior comrades. Or, for example: Medvedev understands that the era of systemic liberals ended, ahead is the era of repression, and hurries to protect itself as much as possible, demonstrating hyperloalism. Or, for example: Medvedev, as a person of a stranger and not particularly valuable, is thrown into the embrasure to show the West that, against the background of many other Russian politicians, Putin is an example of adequacy and correctness. Or even: depicting the insane, Dmitry Anatolyevich is preparing to defend himself in advance during the upcoming and inevitable international tribunal.

The alcohol version is so even to reproduce laziness. Although I personally think that without a glass here, of course, does not do. Few of Russian geniuses did. “Whoever does not know that our Lomonosov,” I read in the same old book , “could not write poetry, did not drink in almost half a water vodka of the grapes.” I don’t see much sin in this and I don’t rush to sign up in the judge. Not with my habits, in the end.

This is not screaming vodka. Not a desire to get even higher-by the way, he was already the president, where is the above? The naval people will not take the sea. Not a desire to adapt to senior comrades with a Chekist background. No. This is a disaster screaming. A small catastrophe of an ordinary person.

He had ideas - although they laughed at them too. "We are waiting for you, a cheerful dwarf!" - exclaimed enthusiastic liberals. He ate with Obama Hamurgger and promised us the happiness that Nanorobots will build. Where is it all? Where is the modernization, where is Skolkovo, where is the “ four“ and ” ”? Who now remembers what it is - “four“ and ””?

Institutes. Investments. Innovation. Infrastructure. No one remembers. And I did not remember, I had to climb into the search engine.

If you rename the police into the police, there will be no memories at all about the third president of Russia and its achievements. They crumpled a man like a napkin at that memorable congress of “United Russia”, when it was announced “screaming”, and that’s all. And life ended. If this is not a disaster, then what is the disaster?

After all, there are many of them - quite seemingly entering into a new, normal, human life (I recently wrote for “cold” about state human rights activists, for example). Having something like beliefs and something like plans. Trying to build something with varying success. And until the last who kept the opportunity to be in power, who were afraid to say an extra word. A crumpled napkin flies to the floor ... And then you have to testly depict that you have just dreamed of recreating a flawed pacer on the covenants of a person whose ideal remained in the Gdrovsky Dresden.

I even understand why it was now in Medvedev that a journalistic gift was cut through in Medvedev. It’s just that the optimists who made a bet on the Putin state, to the last, had an illusion that the state would give up the ultimate radicalization, it would be forced to return to something that looks like human normality. After February 24, there were no hopes. “Special Military Operation” put on them a fat, last, undeniable cross. Well, or Z. Also a convenient sign for crossing out everything that was done earlier.

So this hatred yells - from emptiness into the void. The object is not important (but it is clear that the object is still chosen with the intent-why create unnecessary problems for yourself). Only the form is important. Only pain. He is not a demon, not a cunning courtier, not a careerist, not a survivor. Just crushed by fate, a person who turned himself into nothing.

In the summer, my friend and I went on a hike in the suburbs. They walked for a long time, sat down to rest on concrete blocks near some unfinished palace (I remember, I still thought: “The deputy prosecutor will probably live here”). The herbs smell, the bees buzz, the breeze is grace. They grabbed the phones, of course: not to admire the beauty. And read in chorus:

“They often ask me why my posts in telegrams are so sharp. I answer - I hate them. They are bastards and geeks. They want death to us, Russia. And while I am alive, I will do everything to disappear. ”

“Do you think he writes this?” The friend asked.

“No one,” I answered. - The world, your bosses, you, me. Yourself. Nobody.
