By 2021, the direct lines of the President became the only institution of public authorities preserved in Russia. I wrote about this in the pre -war “New”: in the country without parliament and ships, a lone politician performed miracles on the air, responding to a request from citizens to political participation, repaired roofs, conducting gas, reported the governors. The war interrupted the chain of miracles for almost two years. Instead of straight lines, Putin established the institution of anxiety appeals to the nation, each of which makes people worry about their loved ones and savings. What this time will come up with a historical leader: a nuclear war, a new mobilization, execution of the rebels live?
In December 2023, two factors led to the restoration of a straight line. On the one hand, after a few months of Putin, procedures are waiting for the extension of his extraordinary powers, for some misunderstanding, also known in Russia as popular elections. On the eve of important procedures, the political patient number one should radiate confidence and demonstrate the care of subjects. On the other hand, for two years in a bloody bath, a Russian leader, after the failure of 2022, is returning luck. Ahead of the elections in the United States, Congress is in no hurry to allocate assistance to Ukraine, the APU did not break through the Russian defense, Putin's allies in the EU, such as Viktor Orban, openly talk about the need to accept the conditions of the Kremlin. The straightforward Putin returns, and he has big plans for all of us.
To emphasize the grandeur of the plan, journalists who mixed up with the people in the face of the Supreme Military Civil Administration are also invited to the line.
Putin began by the word "sovereignty" seven times in a row. It is for the sovereignty for the sovereignty that he does all this, as Walter White did “everything for the family”. But sovereignty, like eggs, is in short supply, so you need to constantly increase its volumes. Sovereignty is usually understood to mean the right to independently make political decisions in a certain territory, and when Putin repeats this word, he means that it is his personal right to create arbitrariness that does something else interferes with. Putin needs more for Putin to strengthen, Putin reports at the end of the second year of his war.
The dictator answers the main question, which, according to the latest study of the Levada Center, excites the Russians: when the world comes. And the world will come, Putin shares, when we fulfill all our goals, which, incidentally, remained unchanged. The goals are to destroy Ukraine as a state and force the whole world to admit it - it was also called "demilitarization" and "denazification", which two years later again recalls propaganda.
This is a course for an eternal war that Russian citizens are obliged to accept on the eve of the procedures on March 17. No hopes for the world - it is no coincidence that the right to nominate Putin for the new six years went to the collaborator from the "DPR" Artyom Joga. They invented Ukraine, Putin shares, but "Odessa is generally a Russian city." Ahead is a new assault and new deaths. But the new mobilization is supposedly not required for this, and this is proposed to believe the word. An inconvenient story about mobilized wives requiring rotation is bred by brackets.
But the show dedicated to the eternal war as a new Russian norm is unfolding in a studio where “acute issues of citizens” are broadcast on blue screens. "Why is your reality diverging with our reality?" - says one of them. "We gave gas to China, and when will there be gas in Khakassia?" - Citizens are still interested. "How can you get to the Russia that is shown on TV?" - And such a question flashes. All this is a production prepared in advance, intended for foreign observers and viral content on social networks. Look: here is a strong leader does not avoid complex topics, and if he does not answer them, but is ready to share a studio with them.
However, the production only partially fulfills its function. Questions surround the dictator, turn blue against the background and return again. Many thousands of people do not receive answers - they really live in a different reality.
Instead, the dictator prefers to joke about eggs: for example, the Minister of Agriculture, according to Putin, is all right with them.
The shortage of eggs Putin in the style of Maria Antoinette explains by the fact that citizens ate too many of them. He himself, the dictator admits, sometimes in the morning he could just like a dozen at once, because this is a valuable source of protein.
The good mood of the dictator unleashes the tongue. Putin comments on the verdict to the administrator of the telegram channel Alexander Bayazitova, who was given five years in colony for extortion. He admits that he does not know her situation, and asks the question: why hunt her, is she some major opposition figure to hunt her? For major opposition figures, it is normal to hunt - this is the dictator signal for its court hunters.
Putin, who dreamed that he “can repeat” and arrange his own Second World War (then the new Yalta conference and toast for the “great Russian people”), is better at a state of affairs at the front. The military man asks the dictator about the quantity and quality of drones who enter the Russian troops. Putin interrupts and demands that the “military unit” admit that the situation is improving. After all, it improves?
If you want to be a law -abiding citizen, you must confirm this - and it is not only about drones, not only about the front.
So on the live air, our “Green Book” is written, which gives the main answers about the nature of the universe, the fate of mankind and the meaning of life. For example, in order to pay less for housing and communal services, Putin advises a journalist from Magadan to have children, because he is a “nice young man”. Pensioners, on the other hand, will be exempted by the royal gesture from paying the banking commission when paying for the same housing and communal services services (they can no longer use the advice and have more children). The problem of civil aviation is due to the fact that Russia "purchased too many foreign aircraft," but "will release a thousand of its own until 2030." Mercenaries from PMCs will receive benefits of war veterans. The “new regions”, that is, the occupied regions of Ukraine, have already paid 170 billion rubles to the Russian budget, which proves that the economy is restored there (although more than 1 trillion rubles were spent on these regions). The “soft” ban on abortion is like an anti -alcohol campaign and will bring the country only good.
The straight line of 2023, during which Putin returns to his favorite role as the only bearer of sovereignty, expert and bonvivan, is an epitaph for Russia, who dreams of waking up on February 23, 2022 and living a normal life. The course for eternal war and hunting for citizens is approved, reflection on this occasion is recognized as harmful and is considered a state crime.
