A sudden crisis

Irina Podnsova as the chairman of the Supreme Court was not remembered either bad or good. Who will be in place is a painful question

The chairman of the Supreme Court Irina Podnsova, who died, according to TASS, after a serious illness, during the time on this post since April 17 last year, she did not manage to distinguish either bad or good. At its time, the chairman last July 10–20 times the court duties increased, but special points were included in the more extensive tax law, which was lobbying for the Ministry of Finance.

The Supreme Court neither before the tray or under its leadership accepted a single explanation or review of judicial practice in the most controversial cases of “military fakes”, “extremism”, etc. This means that, as when he was the chairman of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces, corresponding to

The “temperature” of repressions (for example, 6–8 years under article 207.3 of the Criminal Code) was exhibited non-publicly, by trial and error or at some closed meetings, and there, obviously, with the help of hints.

The death of the tray, who was a classmate of Vladimir Putin, puts him in an awkward position: if the disease was “serious”, it could and should have been known even when it was prescribed. The inevitable participation at this level in the judges of the judges and lifes requires constant concentration, for which an unhealthy and middle -aged person is not always capable of.

On the upper floors of the judicial hierarchy, it will be difficult to find a candidate for the chairmen of the Armed Forces, who, on the one hand, would be young enough, and on the other hand, thoroughly verified from the point of view of loyalty to the president and “equidistance” from elite groups that are constantly reformatted around him.

The post of chairman of the Supreme Court, as well as the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation (Valery Zorkin 82 years), is key in the sense that

With any manifestation of instability in the highest echelons of power, senior judges can get out of the shadow to political advance and begin to make decisions agreed not with the previous “vertical”, but with one of the groups competing for power.

The lawyers - the authors of the study “100 days after Putin”, about which we talked on the site on July 10, also indicated exactly such an opportunity.

We will see whom the president will offer the Federation Council as a new candidate of the chairman of the RF Armed Forces.
