Do not like us. Oh, how not to love! The West surrounds Russia with a barrage to locate it as a threat state.. There is no indication that Non-West has sympathy for us..

Only in three countries (!) Positive feelings for Russia prevail over negative attitudes - in Vietnam, Greece and the Philippines. However, the Greeks are no longer in the camp of sympathizers..

Western society decided to exorcise the "Russian factor" as it corrupts its system.. Scrap our league of billionaires. Those who have become a symbol of corrupt globalization. It is the turn of smaller animals. Won British check the validity of the "golden visas" for 700 Russians and make a list of objects of application of the law "on income of unknown origin.

But what a wonderful life for both sides was, both Russian rentiers and their western lobbyists. President Putin, however, made a mistake in assessing Western spinelessness, finding that the softness of his Western colleagues (Berlusconi, Sarkozy, Schroeder, Obama) speaks of the West’s readiness to give him the right to dictate to the world. Accordingly, the Russian elite considered that the West would allow it to behave there, as in Russia. It turned out that no. That's irony: the Kremlin itself launched a mechanism of Western self-defense. It got to the point that omnivorous Austria began to make claims to Russia. Now the Kremlin, and at the same time the Russians have to mock up.

In this context, the question arises: what will our elite do, who will be expelled by the West?.

Some of the Russians with a suspicious source of income will try to find themselves some Seychelles. Others will seek to pay for their stay in California or in Nice by changing loyalty. How, apparently, tried to make a media mogul Mikhail Lesin. But in this case, the seekers of the new “roof” will have to be prepared for unpleasant consequences.. This is evidenced by the fate of Lesin himself, who suddenly died in a Washington hotel.. Violin Drama - Loyalty Too.

But there is no doubt that the managers of the property seized from the people will return home with their assets (like Deripaska and Rybolovlev). They already know what awaits them in the West - they must become an instrument of self-purification of liberal democracies.. Western leaders will never meet the Russian elite on yachts.. Already, the head of VTB Kostin will never bring ballerinas with earflaps to Davos and no one there will wait for “Russian Night”. The era of integration of Russia and Russians "in the West" is over.

Many of us are concerned about the question: what will returnees do in Russia? Will they turn against Putin? After all, the “Seven Bankers” set its king in the Kremlin. Will the oligarchs become revolutionaries or coup leaders at the worst? What nonsense! These guys can eat each other.. But in regards to the lord of the pack they turn into freshwater. Their long life as Kremlin henchmen made them safe for power biological subspecies. Waiting for Abramovich or Usmanov to suddenly join the new “Swamp” - a sign of violent imagination. Yes, and whether they need the "Swamp"? Is that to discredit.

Consequently, rich rentiers will crawl home and seek protection from the Kremlin.. The more they feel insecure, the stronger their hope of a repressive regime as a way of protection will be. A Russian elite pushed out of the West will become a stronghold of totalitarianism, not democracy! But what about hopes for a split of the ruling class and the emergence of those who support the pro-Western course and reforms? These daredevils may have jumped out of the demoralized and rotten scale - but under pressure not from outside, but under pressure from below..

Meanwhile, any Russian leader - both Putin and post-Putin - will have to think how to calm down the people demanding justice.. And how to solve this problem? Right! Give to eat the old officers and hire new ones. Here is the most effective legitimization of power! Especially in a society eager for retribution for their hopeless life.

Russian oligarchs, appointees and bureaucrats-oligarchs of the federal and local poshiba - the most anti-national, but also the most defenseless element of the political class. Lepers in the West. Lepers in Russia, which is formed today. They are still under the protection of power. But at any moment they will be thrown to the crowd in the Russian Coliseum..

However, if we are talking about the surrounding world, we are all lepers.. Once in London, Washington or Vienna, each of us can become an object of suspicion: is he a spy? what he (she) lost here (lost)? We have to learn what it is to live in Stainless, which inspires the world to strive to dig in its moat.

PS. But what about the summits of President Putin with the rest of the leaders? Our leader just visited the world party in Paris. Empty. Symbolism. A way to create a sense of involvement in the Kremlin to temper his desire to beat windows in other people's homes. Simple tactics.

Ppss. And to find out what stereotype attitudes towards Russians are shaped in Western society, it’s worth watching the TV series “Americans” and “Occupied”. There is nothing left of sympathy for the Russians who were present in Bond.. Remember "From Russia with love"? Now such a plot is simply impossible..
