On the new political situation

26
On the new political situationA new political situation is emerging in Russia. It seems to me that the main thing in this situation is not that Vladimir Putin announced the start of his election campaign. This is a long-forecasted event. The main thing in another - in the new alignment of political forces. The failure of the project of the updated “Right Party” with the oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov at the head led to the fact that the Communist Party remained on the left flank almost in splendid isolation political structure to actually influence the electoral process), and on the right - United Russia. Earlier in the Kremlin, apparently, it was thought that the Communist Party of the Russian Federation would ideologically compete with the liberals of Prokhorov, but it turned out that it would have to compete with one political rival, United Russia.

Moreover, the priorities in ideology in many areas will be on the side of the Communist Party. After all, the entire period after the financial crisis of 2008, "United Russia" more and more shifted to the left, remaining the party of the center. Now, any shift to the left is a loss of face before the onslaught of the Communists. Not the United Russia party remains in the political center, but Putin alone (whose election as president is unlikely to raise doubts). Moreover, in recent years, a significant shift to the left, that is, towards the Communists, has already occurred in the consciousness of the population (or, as they say, the "electorate"). This is evidenced by surveys of all Russian sociological centers, as well as the results of voting on all resonant political programs on TV. The most amazing thing is that the Kremlin itself contributed to this field of consciousness of the masses by organizing numerous historical TV show featuring Sergei Kurginyan.

Kurginyan, in fact, recoded the matrix of public consciousness, which has dominated the last twenty years. If Putin will only occupy the side of United Russia and move to the right, then a situation may arise that is close to 1993, Boris Yeltsin, with the “reformers” against the communists and national patriots. The fact that the national - the patriots at the level of the electorate will traditionally go along with the communists, and not with the KRO Dmitry Rogozin (who entered Putin's “Popular Front”), is hardly in doubt. But "zero years" - not the nineties. The Arab Revolutions gave an example of any opposition. It is unlikely that Putin will want to conduct similar experiments in modern Russia. The Kremlin is really afraid of the Russian version of the “Arab” twitter-color revolutions. Only this can explain the cancellation of the previously approved plan to promote Prokhorov to power. What scared the Kremlin was at the last stage of this project? I think the “orangism” of the situation around Prokhorov. He was in the hands of: his "honestly acquired" billions of dollars, which can be used at his own discretion and not accountable to anyone; charismatic Yevgeny Roizman, capable of leading both a democratic and a criminal "street"; the project of the All-Russian "Drug-Free City", which would structure this "street" on a national scale; American Basketball Club, which allows its owner (Prokhorov) to quickly enter into direct informal contacts in the business and political elite of the United States; Ukrainian political technologists are "Orange", who have specific experience in the period of color revolutions. At the last stage in the Kremlin (or in the Lubyanka), they realized that they themselves were introducing "for the teeth" a "Trojan horse" capable of becoming Putin's real competitor in the presidential election.

In the new political situation, when the “Orange” can become the left, the most optimal option for Putin is to have to rise above the clash already during the Duma elections, to create an image of a political leader uniting rather than separating the nation. Putin’s repetition of the mistake of Yeltsin, who did not become such a common leader, could lead to a new tragedy, like the “black October” of 1993. If Putin does not occupy any one side, then he will not need the ultra-high figures of the victory of United Russia in the elections to the State Duma. He just need to be honest elections. He will need such figures as the former head of the State Drug Control Agency Viktor Cherkesov, among the leaders of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (already included at the congress of the Communists in the top ten of the federal list). It will be beneficial for him to give a number of posts of key committees to the left, that is, to the communists. Maintaining this right-left balance is important for Putin and in fact during the presidential election. The main rival for him, as in his time and for Yeltsin, will be Gennady Zyuganov. Elective stamps Yeltsin with pictures of the GULAG - in 2012, the year will not work. Suffice it to recall that the Kremlin’s attempt to conduct a new de-Stalinization in the country according to the methodology of Mikhail Fedotov and Sergey Karaganov was completely rejected in Russian society. Moreover, in all its layers. This is evidenced by all sociological measurements conducted by renowned research centers. Putin will have to use rhetoric, as well as conceptual solutions of both the right and the left. The "leader of the nation" must be recognized by all. After the presidential election, a favorable balance for Putin is the right-wing government headed by Dmitry Medvedev and the left-wing Duma. This balance is especially necessary for Putin in international relations, given the "love" for him of a number of European and American politicians.

We are entering the REAL POLICY band. It can turn around both tragically and constructively optimistic. But the stagnation, which many political scientists are talking about, is clearly not foreseen.

    Yeltsin’s elective stamps with GULAG pictures will not work in 2012.

    That's for sure, and Kurginyan had a hand in this.

    I basically agree with the author of the article, Vladimir Ovchinsky.

    GDP really understands that, people under the banners of United Russia are in no hurry to build a capitalist paradise.
    The protest against the current tandem policy is growing. In order to remain in power, the GDP is forced to take measures to prevent unrest, he clearly does not need the events of 1993 of the year. No one will allow or forgive him to shoot repeatedly from tanks at the parliament. How then forgave EBNu.

    And he is forced to take real steps, and I think he has already begun to take them.
    1. He handed over leadership in EP DAM, which obviously will not add authority and votes to her.
    2. The status of Fair Russia is lowered, most likely their electorate will go over to the Communist Party.
    3. The events with Prokhorov indicate a rejection of the right liberal idea.

    And if those who are against the tandem policy are not too lazy and still come to the elections to the State Duma, then there is a real chance that the EP will not gain more than 50% of the vote. And this is a more positive alignment of political forces with which the GDP will be obliged and forced to reckon.

    Real politics say?
    No stagnation expected?
    Subtext: "All go to the polls,
    United Russia to repent "!

    But in general, you don’t have to walk,
    They will decide without you, even the left, even the right,
    That's just not worth talking about politics -
    So the brave guys share power.

    The analysis as a whole is true: Putin has two problems:
    a) how to win the election with a minimum of sketches;
    b) how to prevent the collapse of the country by winning.

    He can win elections only as a leftist or center-left candidate. So, it will look like a left-centrist.

    To prevent the collapse of the country can only be nationalization. He understood this long ago, why he began to create monopolies - a kind of compromise between the form of ownership and manageability. Putin has long realized that managing the country with a large abundance of private enterprises is impossible. In addition, a lot of private business money periodically generates candidates for a piece of power - the Khodorkovsky and Prokhorovs.

    T.O. Putin understands that his future path is close in form and in essence to the Communists. But he cannot look like a communist either in front of Europe, the plan of unification with which has not yet been thrown out, or lose the confidence of the internal oligarchs, who must obey him, at least. The task is difficult, or rather impossible.

    By the way, before the collapse of the country, power can easily be transferred to the Communists. As Obama was told in a similar situation, the inability to rule the country. It can only be very late.

    But this is perhaps the only way out. When such respected commentators as mitrich write: "I am for Putin, but not for United Russia", then you can understand them. The only oppositional force is the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, it has no leader. And to carry out the nationalization of the main industries, toughen the fight against corruption, strengthen the state, a person is needed who can make decisions. Putin showed himself in 1999 as such, Zyuganov in this part is not marked by anything. I am not at all a fan of VVP and would only be glad if the ideas of the communists were promoted by a strong and self-righteous leader. Unfortunately, this is not the case. We can only hope that one is not a warrior in the field, and in case of the victory of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Vova will be FORCED to reckon not only with the opinion of Deripaska and Vekselberg. Let's not forget that there are many people like mitrich, and judging by the comments, they are more likely with the communists than with Isaev, Volodin and Serdyukov. At least the scenario proposed in the article has more chances to keep the country from civil war.

        Do you think that in case of their victory he has another way out? You can, of course, shoot the Duma like a drunkard, Borya, and bring the Kadyrovskaya bandits and Gazprom's guards to Moscow .. But this is certainly the collapse of the country. But he wants power (he already has enough money). Maybe I will repeat myself in the comments, but you can "slip" 20, well, 25% of votes. And with a serious advantage, Vova's choice is not rich. I will not vote for him, but name for whom?

          dmb, Putin will not allow the victory of the Communists - he can’t change the flag. And he will not allow patriots to key positions in the country, because otherwise they will quickly drive out the oligarchs, who are now somehow holding on to ears in the economy. He, in principle, may not feel sorry for some of the existing gangster elites, only this is essentially Perestroika-2, but we must go forward.

          He will simply copy the behavioral aspects of the communists and pass them off as his own. This is called "mimicry", read the definition of the term. Why copy? Because otherwise he will soon have nothing to govern - the country will fall apart. Why pass off as your own is understandable - you have to be a leader.

          But mimicry never replaced the original, just as emulating someone else's behavior is not equivalent to the original. Accordingly, it will only ensure that the decay processes are slowed down, but it will not eliminate the decay itself fundamentally - leeches on the budget will still be en masse, they will steal no less than now, probably even more.

          The change will be this: he will single out even more enterprises from all unmanaged Russia and will try to establish their management. The key difference is that the Communists would change the system from liberal to national, and within the liberal system it would make a national reservation from strategic enterprises and milk this reservation so that it would feed the incapable liberal part of the economy.

          As a result, everyone will think that we have liberalism, especially in the West. Some of the people will continue to work for the orgy of another part - for the completely inadequate and useless (in the current setting) Skolkovo, for the Porsche Caena of Russia's enemies, for the liberal social model in the form of the rights of "Strategy-31" and other buggers to mumble in squares, etc. .d. etc. Those. some will work even harder, while others will create "liberal values". But, since the overall efficiency of such a system will be low, this model will not last long.

          And then, before the start of the collapse, he really can let the Communists go, both in essence and in form, to then blame them on all the foundations of the Moscow principality and small entities that fell under the protectorate of China, Japan, the USA, Europe and thereby finally bury the idea of ​​national the state ...

            Suggestions? I am familiar with the definition of the term "mimicry" both in theory and in practice. EP is completely mimicrodons. Zhvanetsky justly said "Hurray", said "Forward", but let's decide where before. To be honest, I do not see any other way out for preserving the country than the coming to power of the communists. They have at least some idea of ​​preserving the country, and in the program there are some specifics for its preservation. And about Putin in the aspect I have just said can be discussed only in case of a confident victory of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation in the elections. Well, Putin cannot, even having won the presidential elections in such a situation, will leave Serdyukov or Chubais in his place. And a change in the environment willy-nilly will make him change too. Without the support of the environment, even such greats as Lenin and Stalin, and not the fact that an ordinary colonel-merchant, could not rule.

              dmb, that's it - without the support of the environment it is impossible to control. How can you imagine Putin surrounded by communists? They are ideological and honest guys basically - they will make him a rating of 1% in 3 months, roughly speaking, they will eat him. Massively, Putin will not be allowed to make a decision on a decision-making basis, maybe for certain tolerant individuals. But a tolerant communist is a degenerate, not a communist. For the Stalinist school.

              Ideally, Putin, if he really loves Russia, could give up the helm to the Communists, while he would help everyone he could, namely:
              - "laudable" to bring up to date;
              - to surrender to all who could potentially interfere with the Communists;
              - rigidly lobby for Russia's interests in the West;
              - Supervise monopolies, especially Gazprom.

              But he won’t do it, because it is an admission of one’s mistakes in choosing the driving force of development (liberals). The rejection of leadership for Putin is generally unrealistic.

                It is difficult to imagine Putin surrounded by communists, but not entirely fantastic. He just won't have a choice. I don't think the EBN option is possible. Then the people were more inert. The habit from the Soviet years affected. Now the power is weaker and the coup is a guaranteed collapse of the country. Local bai are so unhappy with the vertical, but they have no strength to put them in a stall. The army has been gouged, the police are on local support, and people on the ground remember with a "kind word" first of all Moscow (this is the mentality), and then the local feudal lord. And if the feudal lord cries out in time that the federal center did not give him to love the people, then he may survive, and even lead. [Refusal of leadership is generally unrealistic for Putin. These are your words. So draw your conclusions. The communists, with popular support, will also not agree to be on the sidelines, otherwise they will fly out in the next elections. And they have support. I read comments not only here and on other sites. Even on the pseudo-liberal, the assessment of the activities of United Russia and Vova is overwhelmingly not in their favor.

                  On September 29 of 2011 of the year, on TV in V. Solovyov’s program “Towards a barrier” between Zyuganov and Mironov, political scientist Fedorov announced the following figures for the whole country, no more than 55% can vote for EP now, while a third of potential voters are approximately 30-33 % have not yet decided which party to vote for or are not going to go to the polls.
                  If 10% of this category of electorate still goes to the polls and does not vote for EP, then GDP and DAM will be in the role of losers.

                  Likely before the elections to the State Duma, the tandem will take additional steps to reduce the negative against itself. It will be very difficult and dangerous for them to decide on the obvious falsification of election results, similar to the year 1996. The attitude of the United States and Europe towards Putin is ambiguous, a large landing party of observers from the European Union is being prepared, with the start of work 5 weeks before the election.

    It is possible that they are falsified, but then why are all state employees obliged to vote for EP, because they really don’t need real votes, if you believe it. And the second, I think if there is a subtext to this article, then it consists in the fact that the vote should be cast for the Communist Party, as opposed to the current party in power.

            We Russians and all peoples living in Russia must believe in our strengths that we are able and obliged before our children and grandchildren to turn the tide towards a decent standard of living. For us, no one will decide or do this.
            The Chinese will not return us to socialism.
            We must force Putin to reckon with us. One way to achieve this is to go to the polls.
            The task is at least for the moment, with EP no more than 50%, for Putin no more than 51%. And you will see how the capitalist ministers fly out of government.

    countries and guidance, at least of some bourgeois order,
    vote for the Communist Party and Zyuganov. She answers me: I understand that,
    But what about the rest? Answered: Try to explain this, at least

    The owners of the regime will do anything to prevent nationalization
    resources and basic industries. They will surrender both EP and DAM to push through
