Writer-satirist Mikhail Zhvanetsky explained what is the power of the presidents.

This issue is devoted to his new miniature, published by the publication "Kommersant".

In a miniature called "lack of talent," the famous writer touched on topical issues of Russian politics and culture, but in his usual allegorical manner. Zhvanetsky said that the power of presidents and ministers is in friendship with lack of talent. And mediocrity, in turn, is good for the bosses by devotion and "a clear political position".

Below is an excerpt from miniature.

"What is the power of leadership? The power of presidents, the power of ministers? The power of governors? In friendship with the untalented. What is their confidence? In the main! In devotion! This is most important! I myself love their brave courage, their courage, their clear political orientation, their clear views and great enthusiasm. I appreciate their friendship. Their treats. Even their reviews. I just hate their performance. They know how to stick. There is not a gram of gold on the echelon of the breed. Not even a gram of poison. Just a breed. Just empty. But the echelon! Which genius has clarity or certainty? Everything is muddled. And these have no confusion, for all the old.

Does not invent the brain. Invents a heart that guides the brain. A great thought is born in the soul. The mind will build. Will remove superfluous. The soul will give the essence.

Moving callousness will not express. They do not understand. "Why do you need us?". "" It's time to make up ". "We love you, and you?". "Forces are not to say. To say how to offend ".

As reported by the "Observer", Mikhail Zhvanetsky provoked a storm of hatred in his address a joke about the sale of one of the Kuril Islands of Japan in order to raise money for vodka to the suffering Russians.
