Putin goes to the presidency - no more intrigues. Is it only in part, when he will nourish this joyful message of Russians and all-all-all. It is now clear that the numerous rumors about the successor who persistently distributed the Kremlin to the lured experts and who actively supported Putin with their vague statements were all a planned campaign. What for? It's very simple - to check the reaction of the population (in fact, they know in the Kremlin that they are in fact the famous 87% support) for the possible non-advancement of the supporter to the president of version 4. Well, at the same time to mobilize a little starving electorate, who recently began to suspect the wrong.
A loyal electorate, which of course, Putin has, of course, did not disappoint, immediately screaming "to whom will you leave us, father of your own". Vibrating and starving dramatically remembered horror stories about horrors that necessarily (not without a reason three years from all the mouthpieces broadcast) will bring any changes, except for Putin's election instead of Putin - between the revolution and North Korea North Korea chooses not only Chulpan Hamatova. Opponents began to show joy, but just in case, carefully.
And this campaign on kolupaniyu the furnace of the bride, which actually in dreams already cuts the wedding cake, lasted for more than one month - it's not for you to collect rockets into orbit, you have to carefully calculate and check everything here. But the experiment was clearly successful, because in the summer, during the dead political season by the way, Putin did not go on vacation, instead he developed an unprecedented activity.
Suffered many, mostly children. Apparently, seeing the protests of Navalny in March, and then even more in June young people, among whom were not only adolescents, but even quite children, he was terribly impressed. For he undertook to mow the growing generation with terrible enthusiasm - perhaps, so much attention to young citizens Putin did not pay for his entire political career.
It all began with the fact that in mid-June he forced the children-winners of the Olympiads to drag themselves to Moscow from all over the country, so that the president could pogopitsya them, well, get your passport. Then Putin suddenly made a speech for graduates. And the very next day he went to the annexed Crimea, where the highlight of the program was his visit to the "Artek" pressed together with the Crimea,.
A month later, Putin attacks gifted children in the center of Sirius, where he spends with them - attention - a direct line on the air of NTV. In a break between all these events, he also met with faith teachers for graduation classes. But on this the struggle for children's minds did not end - on September 1, Putin dealt a massive blow. He held an open lesson in Yaroslavl, which, scary to imagine, even worse to see, was broadcast on the Internet for 16,000 schools across Russia.
And to all these activities, you can legally add the word "first". In the Ukrainian "Artek" he, of course, would not have gone, but nothing prevented him at least once in 17 years in power popiaritsya in any Russian children's camp - but no.
It is very unlikely that all this could be just so, even if Putin had previously kissed the boy in the navel, you will agree, the scale is not the same. Especially since in a break between the children he also did not work hard for the media to benefit his rating.
Almost without interruptions (except for a short disappearance from the horizons in August), even for a day, he presented prizes, congratulated on professional holidays (personally, not on the site), gave the name tankers, gave his wise advice to workers, then students, then veterans, conducted endless meetings, meetings and negotiations (only not with representatives of Western countries), gave interviews and even managed to drop by the jazz festival and the Sambo tournament. In general, none of his citizens left the Russian president - from Moscow to the Volgograd region, from Udmurtia to Tyva, or old or young. Women's electorate, which in Russia is very, very much, got the last argument of Putin, - a bare torso, and still placed in a boat with indecent pike sizes, which, of course, accidentally floated by.
But this is all only one side of the unannounced large-scale election campaign of Putin, which entered into full force this summer. At the same time, Navalny's staffs were crushing all over Russia, nuts were being twisted in courts, freedom and dissent, symbolically crowned by the arrest of director Serebrennikov. Which, by the way, his colleagues in the shop are not so much supported, and not so much out of fear, which means that Putin's support for "culture" will be on top.
At the same time, propaganda somehow became quieter, the most striking feature of the curtailment was the closure of the Life channel, created just in 2013 and the former all these years, the most important mouthpiece of propaganda and a tool of information warfare of the Kremlin. Of course, this does not mean that Putin version 4. 0 will return the Crimea, leave from the Donbass, Syria, Transdniestria, renounce Abkhazia and South Ossetia, stop supplying Armenia with weapons and money to maintain the tone of the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, etc.. To think so would at least be naive.
Most likely, polls (not those that the state VTsIOM stamps, but the real ones) have shown that the brains of Russians are washed thoroughly, and with the maintenance of the level of zombification, the available media resources will cope. And, most likely, there is not much money anymore, and now they are much more needed somewhere else. Perhaps most of all they are needed at all the same presidential election in 2018 - they will become the main arena of next year. And it has gradually begun to fill in with actors. For example, it is unlikely that Girkin-Strelkov, somehow missing from the information space, suddenly called for the debate of Navalny. During which he evidently just opened the cannon to the bread of the head of the Anti-Corruption Fund, exposing himself as a "real" Russian patriot who cares about Russia's great future - unlike Navalny, of course.
The second blow to Navalny was inflicted by Udaltsov, who was suspiciously released on time. Suspicious, because before that he was invariably denied parole, and then suddenly - did not. He, though formally leftist, to the right of many right. And during his first press conference after the liberation he dabbled well in Navalny not only in the patriotic field, but at all who can only. And the fight against corruption for him is a nonsensical, and Krymnasch without reservations, and he did not betray anyone, unlike Navalny, and does not deceive his supporters, claiming he wants to be president, because the law forbids it.
Break-in was successful, the audience was delighted, the forgotten Udaltsov again began to talk, and Navalny faded against the backdrop of his image of a stern, straightforward and ingenious guy, sitting in a simple sweater and speaking a simple language.
Speaking of birds. Navalny, who does not really have the right to participate in presidential elections, only increases his activity. He now that does not banter over Life (his remains in the form of a site), the summer residence of Peskov or his, as much as Putin himself. All this is clearly not just. And then the Kremlin's Vedomosti is letting the rumor that there will be a woman candidate in the elections as well - options from the head of the National Parenting Committee Irina Volynets to Poklonskaya and Sobchak.
Apparently, the show called "presidential elections in Russia-2018" will be played at the highest level. The troupe is about to meet, and it will no doubt play as it should. Spectators have already prepared their hands for applause to the well-known winner. Perhaps, the Russians do not understand this yet, but they have already "chosen" Putin as president. And even or not only because many are really ready for him to vote. It's just that he's not going anywhere.
