Arkady Babchenko wrote on the portal LIGA about today's big press conference of the president of the state-occupier of the Russian Federation.
Oh my God. No. Not this. Again, Putin's press conference. And now again a week to read the flow of "analysts" - that Putin said what he meant when he said what this gesture means, and what this gesture means, what tendencies can bring a new word to the country that he used, like he was joking today, as he coughed today, well, and some new memasik on "Vyatka kvass" or "Why do you need a car if you do not have roads".
Very few things are in the world that cause me the same existential nausea as this press. Even the word "existential" is less nauseating than all this mournful, many-hour meaningless epic.
In a country where there is no politics, politics is trying to interpret the color of the king's snot. This is exactly what in the common people is called "up to mice".
I will not even repeat that trivial truth, from the repetition of which I myself have bothered myself to the impossibility - in Russia there can be no "press conference of the President", because in Russia there is no President. President - elective office. And Vladimir Putin is a usurper. Captured power through a coup in 2012. It is the. I insist on this formulation. Who was then in Moscow, remembers how the whole center was packed with riot police and troops.
I will not repeat that triviality that words, which in principle are the cheapest thing in the world, because only things matter - in the mouth of Putin there is nothing at all. That's absolutely. From the word "absolutely". All that he says at his press conferences does not have ANY IMPORTANCE. No, well, it's true.. You will seriously listen to the fact that "we are not there", that the "Boeing" was shot down by the Americans through the Ukrainian pilot and the Italian dispatcher, that the salaries of doctors make up some thousand dollars, that he does not know who Navalny is and what Russia is - is the most beautiful, free and happy country in the world?.
I'll tell you a secret. This man is lying. Here it is simple banal and shamelessly pours dew into your eyes. And you for some reason absorb all this and discuss.
No, I understand why this is necessary for "analysts". They earn money on this. I understand why journalists need this. They too. I, for example, need this to write this column.
But you, dear reader, this is why?.
In general, here's a friend, my advice. As soon as you stare at the phrase "Putin's press conference", immediately close your Facebook, turn off your TV, put your smartphone - and run. Run into the store. Take a good beer there. And drink. With pleasure. And pleasure.
Contemplating the world and philosophically speculating about that, could still fly Alice through a rabbit hole to the other side of the earth, or, after a series of damped oscillations, would stop at the very center of the nucleus.
Such pastime will be much more meaningful. And it's more pleasant - exactly.
In general, it is necessary simply to survive.
And how it all ends in reality, I can tell you right now. Even despite the very press conference.
Honest elections will not be. Bulk will not be allowed. From Donbass will not leave. In Syria, they are stuck. For a long time.
And Putin will be forever.
Happy viewing!.
