In Russia, there was a phenomenon of internal censorship called "collective Putin", which is much more dangerous than the president himself - Vladimir Putin. This became possible thanks to the "titles" on the lower levels of power, which are served by the higher leadership.

Such an opinion on the air "The Observer. LIVE "was expressed by the Russian poet and screenwriter Andrei Orlov, also known under the pseudonym of Orlusha.

"There are many people who want to like the authorities. It is in all countries of the world. This is punks, gopnik, "he said..

"There are" titles "on the lower levels of power. If you are the head of the village administration and want to please the district administration, then you make a rally ... You do it in order to please upstairs, "Orlusha said..

The poet stressed that representatives of local authorities are not diligent about money, but to get bonuses from their bosses. "You do not get it with money, you get it with promotion, you gain yourself some points," he said..

"Such people are more dangerous than the authorities themselves. Collective Putin is sometimes more dangerous than individual Putin, "Orlov added..

As an example, he cited the situation with the harassment in Russia of rock musician Andrei Makarevich.

One of the last torn up concerts (Nizhny Novgorod. - Red. ) Occurred on the initiative of local authorities.

"Putin did not forbid Makarevich. Putin is a criminal, but he did not forbid Makarevich. He was initially banned by the governor (Valery Shantsev. - Red. ) ", He added.

As reported by the "Observer", Orlusha caustically ridiculed Putin in a devastating poem about the "scattered president of Russell".
