Olympic test for Russian officials

Олимпийский тест для чиновников России

Oh, do not love Russian officials to resign. No, they say we have such a tradition. And even more bite into the noble chair. Right stranglehold. To tear them away from warm places can only be that with your head.

The recent resignation of the Ombudsman on human rights Pavel Astakhov — the example is not typical. Yes, and to retire off Astakhov again after “serious conversation”. With whom? The Commissioner did not answer. Although everything is understood. We have one person’s name is not pronounced in vain.

Meanwhile, the resignation of the state apparatus for the cleansing procedure for the river. I will not describe here the mechanism of self-purification of rivers, lakes and oceans, but precisely because of this, they exist thousands and thousands of years. As soon as, say, the river loses the ability of self — cleaning, it rots and dies. The same is happening with the state apparatus, not capable of self-purification.

Again, I will not now speak for the entire government, the subject is vast. Here to you and economy, regional policy, and the social sphere, etc. And all we are seeing continuous failures, shortcomings, mistakes, after which feeling a modicum of responsibility and have at least a hint of conscience, the officials THEMSELVES are obliged to resign. Restrict today great sport. The biggest Olympic sports. Today gossip about him all over the world. According to various gossip. Some attacked. Others are protected. Still others are repulsed. Fourth — justify. Fifth — justified… But one thing is clear. Thanks played “Russian doping map of Olympic peace is disturbed. The scandal raised all over the world. Involved in it were, it seems, everything. Even He whose name is not uttered in vain, made a statement in connection with the report of the Commission of the world anti-doping Agency.

Russia in connection with the “doping affair” rinse and rinse. A blow to the image and prestige of the country struck a powerful. And what are the costs I had to incur. Take, for example, exclusion from the 2016 Games the Russian athletes. With our sports officials with geese water. Moreover, the main “goose” even said: “No wait!” The Minister of sport Vitaly Mutko said that is in the service of the state, so the decision on his resignation should take the President or Prime Minister of the country. In the words of the Minister direct feel confident your not going to pass. And, given the almost friendly relations Vitaly Mutko, Vladimir Putin, believe that. All fresh still in the memory presidential public congratulations to the 57 th anniversary of Vitaly Mutko. “Vitaly Leontyevich birthday today, I want to congratulate him with this event,” Putin said, opening a meeting of the presidential Council on development of physical culture and sport, added: “As Mr Mutko, we have engaged not only our activities not only our football heads, but the international line is active, I want to give him a tutorial in English”.

Did not help a gift from the President to the Minister of sport. “Overseas” Russia suffered the biggest sports failure.

Today Mutko acts like he doping scandal in General has no relation, supposedly, to blame themselves the “dirty” athletes, the Russian anti-doping Agency and the IAAF, WADA… in short, everything. And only the Minister — all in white.

But tell me, is it so? It happens to the most important in the sport and were unaware of the machinations, manipulations, crimes within its organization? No, of course. And if it happens, it means that either the head not the main. Either the main damn thing is not in control of his bitch. Anyway, it turns out, the main fault. But if so, then again, “feeling a modicum of responsibility and have at least a hint of conscience, the official” shall resign. But instead: “No wait!”

What happens in this case with the river when, say, some kind of snag creates congestion. Snag collects all the counter debris and the river starts to rot, Slavonice and, eventually, dies. Of course, if the river is not strong enough to sweep a snag. Or she is not helping an alien force. For example, a person.

In our case, it seems, and while I do not want the tops and bottoms and do not want. Moreover, Mutko formulates a loophole: “as for my personal perception, he stated,” I’ll say this: today will require the Commission’s resignation in one area, tomorrow another Commission will require the resignation of another — probably, at it all has been. Famously, right? And no doubt, not an ounce of responsibility for doping the fire, bloated to the global scale, for the crippled destinies of the Russian sports athletes who gave their lives to the sport, but overboard the Olympic celebration.

Of course, along with the sports Minister must resign and the President of the Russian Olympic Committee Alexander Zhukov (in the face of OCD to him, by the way, the IOC has expressed distrust). Along with all the key sports officials. And not because I like me bloodthirsty. If expelled from the sport “dirty” athletes, you just have to go and mired in this scandal, and officials. Their place will be “clean” officials who may find it easier to have conversations with all sports organizations, from IOC to WADA.
If this does not happen if, as in the case of Astakhov, will not be a “serious conversation” after which Mutko To go, the title of “major snags” will automatically go to the most important Russian official. Turns out that it collects the congestion in your garbage that kills in our case, the river Russian sport.

It is unlikely that our chief official sees a snag. In addition to “snag” can be seen not only in the sports section, and wider and bigger. And this can lead to insights and a much broader and masshtabnye.

Maybe the officials were lucky that the first was the Olympic test. And how they will be, will depend on many things not only for themselves but for the whole Russia as a whole.
