"Pull out? Work out." Bloggers about the political career of Viktor But
The news of the return of the Armory Baron to Russia Viktor Buta gave rise to numerous speculations about his political future, said Ilya Shumanov, director of Transparency International:
The Butu weapon merchant, who has served in the United States and returned to Russia, draw incredible political prospects: from uninteresting membership in the Public Chamber to the post of top manager in Rosneft. They also say that they warm the deputy chair for him in the State Duma. For some reason, such a technique is inimiting the thieves' tradition: a meeting at the gates of the prison of a prisoner who has a prisoner, who is awaited by his accomplices, then give him an apartment, a car, and as a synecura, a position in a friendly company.
Reality exceeded expectations: just 4 days after returning, Viktor Boot joined the LDPR. The party ticket was solemnly handed to him by the party leader Leonid Slutsky.
“A courageous person who has become a symbol of the struggle for principles, for the spiritual and moral foundations of today's Russia,” said the leader of the party Leonid Slutsky on the occasion of the reception of ButPr.
Convicted in the United States for the trade in weapons and support of terrorism, Viktor Butr, joined the LDPR four days after returning to Russia.
Well - Slutsky said everything correctly. I didn’t even lie as usual. I perfectly formulated. These are the principles, spiritual and moral principles of today's Russia.
Many propaganda channels, including the channel of Vladimir Solovyov, reposted the laudatory text, where Buta was extolled as the future of the "valuable member of the team."
The entry of Viktor But into the LDPR is primarily a sign of the active work of the party leadership to form his image. With the departure of Vladimir Volfovich, it became obvious that there were no truly charismatic speakers among the leaders of the organization.
Viktor Boot from the first days at large demonstrates a "good political form"
From the first days, Viktor Boot shows a “good political form”, genuine patriotism and an understanding of global political processes. Of course, he will not replace Zhirinovsky, but can become a valuable member of a versatile team.
We believe that the prolonged dominance of United Russia also leads to the fact that most young promising politicians prefer to go to the party in power, so the development of parties of the parliamentary opposition becomes a rather difficult task, in which some leaders make quite serious mistakes, such as unsuccessful flirting of the Communist Party with an unsystematic opposition.
The idea that after the death of the Zhirinovsky LDPR is experiencing a “crisis of identity” and looking for new noticeable representatives, it sounds among many equalized commentators, but not only with them.
But will be a media face, as Maria Butina became
Slutsky is not a charismatic. He is trying to find some new media faces, but those that he could control. That is, not experienced politicians, but, on the contrary, people who are on the agenda, but at the same time not by themselves, but rather a federal wave carried them out. Before But, it was Prigozhin, who was strictly refused. Bout will be a media person, as Maria Butina became (sitting in an American prison for work without a license as a foreign agent, after returning to the Russian Federation, was elected State Duma deputy in 2021 - BP) from United Russia. There will be such competition of Buta and Butina between the LDPR and “United Russia” - two seisels in an American prison, who, in fact, are significant.
Slutsky, one way or another, is still the author of the phrase about "Zaychutka"
LDPR needs new heroes. Zhirinovsky exported everything on charisma, and Slutsky, one way or another, is still the author of the phrase about the “Zaichutka” and the hero of the scandals about the hardships. He does not have the legend of Zhirinovsky, so he gains personal political glasses with the help of other people's names. Perhaps the public undercontense with Prigozhin serves the same purposes. There are also Degtyarev, the existence of which is justified only by the fact that he is a replacement for a varnish, so you need someone with a brighter and more conceptual charisma. And Nilov - well, there are no complaints, he just works, but still not the hero of the generation like Zhirinovsky.
The new party member can overshadow Slutsky, suggests opposition journalist Farid Rustamov .
On the site of the replacing Zhirinovsky as the leader of the main gangster party of the LDPR of the deputy of Slutsky with zero charisma, I would be agitated.
Other opposition commentators do not spare sarcasm.
If the losses in the army of the Russian Federation can somehow be replenished with criminals from ordinary Russian zones, then for compensation for party losses, Russians are not suitable. Not solid. We have to scrape off the susks of such venerable prisons as Adx Florens (Colorado) and Marion (Illinois). Here, the Vita Buta scraped there. He supplied weapons with the most wild gangs of terrorists around the world, received his 25 years. He was “torn”, exchanged, brought. Yesterday, Buta was solemnly accepted into the ranks of the “low -fat” LDPR, replenishing a collection of party international criminals.
Many are sure that the career of Viktor Buta is just beginning.
Dima Korzev on Friday at the same time joked at the same time that Buta would be dragged into politics through the Cchilac -Ottrian LDPR, as at one time Andrei Lugovoi, a defendant in Litvinenko’s poisoning. It happened on Monday. And the boot is already there. Immediately and without preludes. pic.twitter.com/2ggm3jpow6

Viktor Bout, who has been for 15 years for the trade in weapons to terrorists, immediately became a prominent member of the LDPR. We are waiting for his deputy and other career take -off. The terror-terror does not abandon his, unlike the remaining 140 million.

The LDPR will hardly be nominated by Viktor Buta as a presidential candidate in the 2024 election, said political analyst Dmitry Orlov. Damn, how so? A man for eight years without strawberries - and such gratitude?

Often the version sounds that the “political career” of Bout is working out a certain diligence before those who achieved his release.
Not having time to enjoy the long -awaited freedom, Bout was forced to receive a LDPR party card))
Clown career - punishment for falling into a trap, forced himself to bother
On the stage of the column hall, the LDPR party card is solemnly handed to him, and no matter how cunning and insightful he was, he feels now, he understands at all? For people like politics and, most likely, public people in general-by default clowns in the most bad, rooted in the domestic criminal and ethical tradition of the meaning of the word, and then someone told him to become a clown himself, and, apparently, the situation was to choose that there was no, they say, prefer non-publicity. Maybe the clown career (as before both the meadow and partly at Petrov and Boshirov)-such a punishment for once fell into a trap, forced to bother for himself, brought significant inconvenience to the most serious people, and now enter the clown part for this, sitting before the end of the century in the State Duma, perform-do everything that you really are not at all that you are not actually you. You love. Here you have your almost namesake with a similar American experience, you will walk a couple, everyone will laugh - Butina and Butina, Pat and Patashon - are also probably unpleasant, but on the other hand, and not a prison, right, right?
But for society a hero. In the most general form-our man, whom the Americans for some reason kept in prison for many years, and here the whole set of understandable associations is clear who is the enemy, it is clear who we are rooting for, it is clear that when “a boy, vodka, we fly home”, this is a happy ending, but any details are to the detriment. Hero-did something heroic?
He may well hint to him softly: we pulled you out? - Work out
Buta joined the LDPR. Or, more precisely, they entered it. There are almost no questions to him. A person another 90 percent consists of American hamburgers who simply did not manage to get out of him, a week ago there were only blacks of the advanced years and other Latinos, so disorientation and shock state were guaranteed. In addition, he can be gently hinting at him: we pulled you out? - Work out.
The LDPR is trying to strengthen the personnel from one meadow - either Prigozhin, now butt. So, it was decided not to bury the structure, but also to use it. What is logical-the electorate needs to be kept under someone. Without Zhirinovsky, this is a banal corpse, so they try to turn this corpse at least into zombies.
In many loyalist channels, they write that the figure of Buta will not revive the interest in Russia now in Russia.
Buta is discussed as something important for one reason - there is nothing more to discuss
The coming deputy of Buta and voting from the age of 16 is discussed as something important for the whole of Russia for one reason - there is nothing more to discuss. It has frozen, mobilization - the topic is toxic, political competition is undesirable. Hence the extinction of the interest of the audience in the political show and the attempt to discursmongers to replace the substantial content with white noise.
What are the prospects in the LDPR?
Well, nothing more than meadow. True, no less. There is enough for him, but there is no difference for us.
However, now it doesn’t matter who enters into which party.
In many "patriots", the news of the entry of Buta in the LDPR also did not find approval.
IA Panarama began to obviously lose real news
I think that Bout has not rested yet and did not pass acclimatization. I can not explain such a choice. In recent days, he gained such a huge media and public weight that he could establish his own party. Here the questions are to the "senior comrades" who gave the order.
Why reset the heroic image of an unbending Russian intelligence officer with participation in a hopeless political Shapito is completely incomprehensible.
Buta quickly launched into a domestic political turnover. Accepted in the LDPR. He has not yet moved away from sitting in an American prison?
...
Do we have such a crisis of the genre and patriots strain?
There are also assumptions that the "collective Putin" simply could not do otherwise.
In Putin, this is a type of pathology - to make the fame of the spies - deputies of the State Duma in the West in the West in this capacity. Now there will be a place there for Buta, maybe even at the head of the LDPR.
On the other hand, I will repeat the old thought once again - Putin at all levels tries to surround himself by people either working in the special services or those who were their agents. This, of course, is not always possible (therefore, there are "technocrats" with it), but in areas where qualifications are not so important - i.e. In politics and social sphere - almost necessarily.
So his ideal is the Russian Duma, which is fully consisted of agents and agents of agents.
Viktor But has already been accepted in the LDPR. As a meadow at one time, they made a deputy after the murder of Litvinenko, and Butu will give a warm place after imprisonment in an American prison. Russian special services do not abandon their own. pic.twitter.com/k9yqnlsps4

After the news about the entry of Buta, no one was surprised at the LDPR when a message appeared in the freshly built telegram channel in the name of But, in which the author thanks Prigozhin (not Eugene, but Joseph) for the appointment of the Wagner Center director in St. Petersburg.
In the "patriotic" channels they immediately doubted that this telegram boot is real.
A lot of telegram channels from Viktor Buta appeared. I inform you that Bout has no official social network today.
Also, as Alla Boot said, “All the news that is now going out, supposedly with reference to his telegram channel - fake! Manipulations. "
And as soon as such a site appears, we will tell you, and give a link.
I confirm. There is the Bout Channel, which was created by us as a personalized news aggregator several years ago. The rest are in no way related to Victor.
Such things. Do not get fooled.
The channel really turned out to be Feikov: its creator admitted this himself and ridiculed those media that released news notes in the footsteps of his posts.
