Dmitry Peskov: Power is a heavy burden, and cynicism is a calm and thoughtful position

Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov gave an exclusive interview for MGIMO 360, during which he answered a number of questions regarding the events taking place in Russia after the start of the Northern Military District, the future of our country, the international struggle for ideology and much more.

In particular, the official commented on the departure of some of our compatriots abroad after the start of the special operation and the announcement of mobilization. According to Peskov, the overwhelming majority remained in Russia, and many of them went to defend their homeland.

Someone, a small part, left. To say that the state is to blame and was not explained to them... But others understood

- Peskov summed up.

Speaking of the state. According to the Kremlin press secretary, power is a “heavy burden.” Answering the question of the interlocutor whether it is necessary to pay a price for this, the official answered in the affirmative.

You know, all civil servants in our country pay a huge price. Because they all live according to the civil service law. This is a pretty tough thing, by the way.

- noted the Kremlin speaker.

The press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation also spoke about whether politics makes the people who engage in it cynical.

It depends on what is considered cynicism. If cynicism is a calm, balanced, non-hysterical, thoughtful and insightful view of what is happening, then yes, we are probably cynics

- declared Sands.

At the same time, the official emphasized that if we consider cynicism in terms of callousness, rudeness, and willingness to sacrifice the interests of people in order to achieve some goal, then this should not exist in politics.

This suggests that they do not know how ordinary people live.

I even have a lot of cynicism thanks to this life, give me power to vilify, I’ll try to cope with such a heavy burden.

[vlad106]

"Dmitry Peskov: Power is a heavy burden,"

Heavy! Yeah...
Why are you holding on and not letting go?
All these Surkovs, Dvarkovichs, and now the Kirienka

[Vend]

Peskov’s definition of cynicism does not apply to Peskov himself. He will blurt out something, whether you stand or fall.

[75 Sergey]

Of course there are clerks, and there are leaders who violate the Law!

Try going to work, live on 40 thousand in the region. This is not for you to kiss Pugacheva’s hooves. The altar, his mother.

Yes, you are freaking out in your region, a colleague at work retired with 35 years of work experience, so she received a pension of 10800 rubles, the pension fund said - “you are a working pensioner, when you quit, then you will receive 3000 more, but now live and don’t deny yourself anything.” It’s a disgrace, I’m about to cry out of pity for how hard life is for officials in the civil service.

“You know, all civil servants in our country pay a huge price. Because they all live according to the law on civil service. This is quite a tough thing, by the way,” they may get extra leave or be given milk.

By the way, maybe they can get extra leave or give out milk there.

Well, they get plenty of “milk for the kids” if their kids live and study in the West.

[AdAstra]

But they still have a basic vacation of 30 classes and additional ones. There is still a vacation, don't worry.

Power is more distant than ever from the people.

If you overeat on caviar and other delicacies, then your belly hurts...

[Blaster]

I agree with Peskov here. It’s very tough if you are prohibited from going on vacation to unfriendly countries, and also for treatment.

[Gardamir]

This is what I wrote five years ago. Nothing has changed since then.

Citizens still having a conscience are required to hand it (conscience) to the municipal authorities for subsequent disposal.
Only members of the ruling party, governments and deputies are entitled to honor and dignity.
Only the highest leadership of the country has the right to truth, because the rest still do not know the whole truth.
Taking care of children and the elderly is a criminal offense. Children must be handed over to the tolerance authorities. Old people who have exhausted their resources are obliged to independently go to the organs of survival, where they wait for their disposal.
Workers have the right to give half of their salaries to the state, for the external enemy is strong and funds are needed to combat it. State support is the honorable duty of every citizen. Citizens who have not used the right to support the state are equated with terrorists. The National Guard has the right to deliver terrorists to indefinite labor camps, where terrorists will work for the good of their motherland betrayed by them.
Citizens should understand that while the external enemy is strong, there are two laws in the country. The law is for free citizens and the law is for the government, which has no rights. The government is forced to buy houses in the countries of enemies. Send your children to school. And even risking their own lives to be treated in the countries of enemies. Citizens must understand that all this is for the good of the Motherland!

[anclevalico]

A very heavy burden. Apparently, that’s why the grandfather clings to her so much.

[Ross xnumx]

You know, all civil servants in our country pay a huge price. Because they all live according to the civil service law. It's pretty tough stuff by the way

Between what and what?
They pay a huge price, expressed in what? Complete confiscation of property that does not correspond to declared (hidden) income? Removal from office with deprivation of all privileges? The absence of these same privileges during execution?
You are shuffled around without visible knowledge and achievements on the principle of loyalty to the first person.
It remains to clarify (even with you, because the first person is overly busy) the secret goals of the first person... For a quarter of a century, he still hasn’t said what the light will reveal at the end of the tunnel he’s laying?

and cynicism is a calm and thoughtful position

words missing:
those twenty million Russians that the authorities have placed in a certain position for copulation for very little money.

[carpenter]

You know, all civil servants in our country pay a huge price. Because they all live according to the civil service law.

Especially Tatyana Navka’s husband.
It’s time to not let him near the microphone, he “sculpts” this and believes in it himself.

[Horon]

Power is a heavy burden

I directly imagined how former loaders would begin to come to power, since this is their main professional requirement.
At all times, power has meant responsibility. Those who understood this became a great historical character, those who did not understand this destroyed the system subordinate to him and became despised by those around him.

and cynicism is a calm and thoughtful position

Cynicism is a sign of a scumbag. A calm and thoughtful position is pragmatism or practicality. It is strange that this subject confuses concepts. Although perhaps it is not confusing, but rather powdering, since it does not meet the real requirements necessary for officials of his level.

[MONEY]

I don’t agree with cynicism!! If I treat Mr. Peskov with cynicism, then I’m a scumbag??!!

[fa2998]

“Some left, but the majority remained!...” - well, yes, patriots, only many have free money just to get to the regional center

[MONEY]

And what according to Friedman, Mr. Peskov. Is this an obvious criminal who helped the Ukrainian Armed Forces?? Or... won’t a raven peck out a crow’s eye??))

[fa2998]

This is the kind of power we have - they consider their cynicism to be an excellent trait! And with the boss again to the elections! You can be rude, the main thing is how to calculate the results. But they know how!

[ivan2022]

Power is a burden that no one forces anyone to bear.

[Defender 9993]

But you can carry and cry...

[MONEY]

It’s a heavy burden!! Try to take this “burden” from them, they’ll pack it up and destroy it right away...

[FighterD]

99% of comments are ordinary human envy of those who live better than them.

It's not even interesting to read

[ivan2022]

Envy of whom? To those who “thoughtfully” ruined their country in peacetime, and now have created a bloody mess on its former territory?

[MONEY]

Mmm!! Judging by the comment, my friend, you have settled down quite well under this government! That’s why you defend them, accusing them of envy, ordinary people who criticize this government!!! But that’s bad luck!! You didn’t understand the message!! This is not envy!! This is hatred!!!!!

[KLM77]

No envy, just hatred! Officials who supposedly care about the people, but in fact line their pockets and clearly live beyond their means, personally don’t make me feel anything different. For example: this character and his wife, in whom entrepreneurial talents suddenly awakened; Valka-glass and son, also a “talented” entrepreneur; the former mayor of the capital and his wife, also a “talented” entrepreneur; can be listed and listed.
Z.Y: never judge by yourself!

[Maks1995]

Logical.
It’s cynicism to put lies in people’s ears and have watches/cars/haciendas/children in positions that are inaccessible even for their high salaries.

And there is no way out and there never will be. “The government lives on another planet” - figuratively everything is coming true...

Well, it seems that in this interview Mr. Peskov told a touching story about the very modest lifestyle of his daughter in France...

[75 Sergey]

And there is also indifference to the fate of the Country and the people, as well as a reverent attitude towards one’s wallet - to each his own.
There are many different positions, one like Nicholas II, the other like Lenin and Stalin.

[MONEY]

A cynical hypocrite and a bug-eyed liar!! Power to his heart's content...

[Vladimir_Borisovich]

They’re not allowed into Courchevel, but at least I’ll kiss the Pugachikha’s hand. Oh my burden is heavy. My life...

[Krilion]

You know, all civil servants in our country pay a huge price. Because they all live according to the civil service law. This is a pretty tough thing, by the way.

What the hell is this for such a huge price???... what is there, so hard that they can’t even eat?...

[tank64rus]

What is the price? They seem to be releasing them abroad. Civil servants are not mobilized to the SVO. They have their own salaries and pensions as well.

[APASUS]

Peskov forgets that he is in a position and must follow the rules.
And by kissing Pugalkina’s hand, he shows that he is not a cynic, but an emperor! We have too many emperors who have recently divorced.

[komandir8]

Cynicism is an openly rude, contemptuous attitude towards generally accepted norms of morality, cultural and ideological values, ideas about decency and ethics.
Cynicism can also be called a worldview in which such feelings as pity, compassion, shame, guilt, and selflessness are denied. All this is regarded as an obstacle to solving practical problems, which runs counter to personal interests. That’s just how it should be viewed. The president has a very strange... press secretary.

[storm]

To our greatest regret we have to observe the absolute cynicism of the authorities towards the Russian people...

[sleeve]

Is there anything good in your country? Or should you not even look for the positive? I would like to ask experienced, understanding people.

[Process Engineer]

Cynicism is cynicism. And Peskov confused cynicism with pragmatism.
