The phenomenon of President to the people

Явление Президента народу

As usual on Thursday, as usual at 12.00 Moscow time held the 14-th “Straight line” with Russian President. However, “straight” she was very conditional: in situated near Moscow boarding house “Glades” that on Rublevo-Uspensky highway, on the eve of the General rehearsal of the Grand play. All those who are selected for admission to the Studio (it is unbecoming for anyone to be in the same room with Themselves) were divided into groups. The organizers carefully listened and looked, how lucky can ask your “secret” questions. Out of hundreds of applicants (the boarding house has 330 rooms and all of them were busy) samples have been several dozen. Others are designed to silently attend and loudly applaud at the right moments.

Direct the participants received detailed instructions that the hands do not rise to ask a question, and in the event of unforeseen challenges – in this case the camera is not going. Hands to the microphone to pull is not expected, Studio workers and it will hold.

This Guesthouse to which they were delivered in an orderly manner on the buses was strictly forbidden to leave until the live broadcast (and drove people back on Tuesday).

The President asked all the questions was informed in advance and also prepared within 2 days. He prepared all the necessary and related information All departments of the presidential Administration did not leave their jobs.

During the live call-in President have not said anything particularly new. The main attraction for the press is another collection of pearls that “would go to the people” and will be distributed by officials of lower rank. Here are some of them:

  • “If someone decided to drown, to save him is impossible”
  • “It is my life happy, all is well. I’m happy I’m OK too”
  • “What you give, you take”
  • “Nobody will help us, neither God, nor Tsar, nor hero”
  • “We in Russia can be represented in the form of a bribe greyhounds puppies, but violins and cellos, I never heard”
  • “He fought with us in the forest with weapons in their hands”
  • “The U.S. President is a decent man”
  • “What am I supposed to think? Nothing”
  • “What continues to say something every time? “
  • “There is such a sin, otmolit”

RBC will rake for a power?

Exactly, when the President of Russia live impressively habitually communicated with his people in the Moscow office of the company ONEXIM, owned by Mikhail Prokhorov passed searches. Supposedly they were part of a tax audit, but, as said workers, to look for anything in the tables of the ordinary staff there was no need: everything on demand was granted, as in other matters, and extensive comments to any document. For this reason we involved the forces of the FSB is unclear.

However, everything falls into place, if you remember that ONEXIM owns the country’s largest private media holding RBC. It includes a website rbc.ru being one of the most popular news resources in the Russian language TV channel, newspaper and magazine. They actively react to everything that happens in the country and abroad, provide their sites so that they expressed different points of view, publish investigative journalism, which in Russia practically are not in demand. According to the journalists M. Prokhorov repeatedly made the proposal to sell the “inconvenient” media group as someone from the “necessary” and “reliable” people. Looks like it’s time to move from persuasion to threats. As it is made in Russia, not need to tell anyone.

The RAID on ONEXIM was preceded by a program on the channel REN-TV, devoted to the activities of the generating company “QUADRA”, which is also part of the holding.

Duties for the repair to be

So decided by the constitutional court. With the publication of this decision, all his hopes of Russians that common sense will prevail and someone will put a barrier shameless, almost do not hide the theft of money of the common people.

All norms of the ill-fated law found to comply with the Constitution, for the repair fees are not taxes, and be collected and can be spent according to the described rules, i.e. the “common pot” or “individual account home”. Here we must pay tribute, the constitutional court noted that some norms are not clearly defined and needs refinement.

On consideration of the petition of deputies about the illegality of “Plato”. Now in the outcome no one doubts.

News Of The National Guard

The most important – it is no longer the national guard, and not even Russian. She quickly changed the name. However on Monday it became known that the guards have the right to participate in international operations to restore and maintain peace, which was not intended for internal troops. And yet their chief and former bodyguard of Vladimir Putin replaced on the Security Council of Russia’s oldest leader Boris Gryzlov, who in recent times makes careless statements about the prospects for the economy.

On Wednesday was published the decree of the President on the appointment of new heads of power departments of old. The migration will now have to deal with Olga Kirillova, who previously served as head of the Moscow Department of the FMS. But the traffickers planned to catch a former Deputy chief of criminal investigation Department Andrey Khrapov. The former head of the FMS Konstantin Romodanovsky, most likely, it will leave the service, on the fate of Viktor Ivanov (Federal drug control service) not yet known.

The composition of the Federal migration service and Federal drug control service has reduced by a third.

Now for the details, which the administration does not like to dwell. FSKN and FTS from April 13 are invited to the personnel Department to receive notification of dismissal from service. There will be a surprise. To write the application for admission to the Russian guard or similar structure of the Ministry of internal Affairs of Russia no one offer. The amazing thing is that this will affect even commanders and generals.

And instead of a heart flaming engine

But I wonder what the Russian military pilots for brains? This week they again tested the nerves of American sailors. This time our su-24 in the neutral waters swept on “very close” distance (on video it is visible as Americans recoiled from the left by our “falcons”) from the destroyer “Donald cook, armed with guided missile weapons. On Board the ship at this point was and Polish the helicopter.

This led to the fact that the Russian Ambassador was summoned to the foreign Ministry of Poland, where he listened to complaints about the incident.

White house accused the Russian military in violation of professional standards of conduct. Immediately there was talk about developing measures to protect the security, including expanding missile defense system.

How Russia become Arab Emirates

The speaker of the upper house of the Russian Parliament Valentina Matvienko made a memorable train journey in the United Arab Emirates. There were greatly interested in the reform of the government. Now Valentina Ivanovna is not haunted by the fact that the Arab sheikhs have a Ministry of happiness and future Ministry, and in Russia. The first one is a kind of supra-structural education, whose sole purpose is analysis of the work of the other governing bodies on the subject do not affect whether the decisions life subjects, the second is developing a concept of how would look the economic life after the oil reserves.

You only present, how many children of officials can be put to work if to create the Ministry, the work and the degree of responsibility which no one at all to understand?

MS Matviyenko has asked Arab counterparts to send her the detailed functionality of both agencies.

Difficult choice of Russia

Hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh managed to extinguish. Everyone understands that this is temporary, a new confrontation may flare up at any moment.

Meanwhile, in the Armenian capital Yerevan held mass meetings of protest against the fact that Russia carries out continuous sale of modern weapons to Azerbaijan. The speakers, mostly young, active people who believe that this trade Russia provokes the intensification of the conflict. The protesters came to the Russian Embassy, chanting: “Shame!” and “Free, independent Armenia”. They demand the immediate termination of deliveries of Russian weapons to Azerbaijan, and that “Moscow has fulfilled the obligation arising from a military Alliance with Armenia”.

Russian oligarchs considered

This week the magazine “Forbes” for the 13th time published a list of Russia’s richest men. With a fortune of $14.4 billion was headed by Leonid Mikhelson. Last year’s leader, Vladimir Potanin ($12.1 billion) was only fourth. He beat Mikhail Fridman and Alisher Usmanov with 13.3 and 12.5 billion respectively.

Friend of Vladimir Putin, Gennady Timchenko modestly took the 5th spot, and his likely son – in-law Kirill Shamalov state with 1.2 billion Dollars appeared in the honor list for the first time. But he is the most promising of the audience.

In the list Forbes pleasant and replenishment. Pavel Durov, who created the most popular among Russian youth social network Vkontakte and then were forced to leave their Homeland and “not going back”, because, “unfortunately, the country is incompatible with Internet business at the moment”, for the first time entered the list of Russia’s richest men with a personal fortune estimated at 600 000 000 dollars. He we certainly wish success!

The city of Mariupol killed

Did not expect the spring of the authorities of Ulyanovsk, a city in which was born the leader of the world proletarian revolution.

Cunning nature has given the city an extremely warm winter. When the snow began to melt together, fell through the road leading to the bridge connecting the two banks of the Volga river, and two areas of the city. It was not easy. Further – more. Steel sliding gently towards the river, private houses, whose owners were very proud of what they see from their Windows the main water artery of Russia. The area of the landslide catastrophically approaching railroad tracks, the damage of which would be cut off from each other Russian regions. According to preliminary estimates the damage caused to the city equal to 1/3 of the total municipal budget. Until the emergency is declared positive results have not brought.

Diocesan chaos

Last Saturday, went around the entire Internet video that is similar to the Chronicles of bosses of the Sicilian mafia. Bogorodsk district of the Novgorod region a country road was suddenly blocked by two cars, turning across traffic. Watching this scene, suddenly saw in the cordoned off section of the road was a helicopter, from one car left two men said goodbye, and then one of them plunged in their flying crew.

The piquancy of the situation is that people allow themselves to be so cavalierly dispensed with the interests of others (within a few minutes of the incident on the road had started to accumulate cars), were clad in robes of the clergy. While father Sergius (local Church leader) declared that the road was mostly deserted, and to prevent stranded on the roadway, the helicopter could not anybody. He never thought to think about what the Ministers of God ought more bare feet on the ground to walk without fear neither cold nor heat. And then the helicopter. With which rank he and military officials laid as a means of transportation?

Who is moved by helicopter – Serge tactfully said nothing.

Immortalized in bronze

Vladimir Zhirinovsky’s birthday is approaching and not simple, and 70th anniversary. Not knowing how to please the beloved, he has attended at the opening of his own monument, which was carved on the occasion of Zurab Tsereteli.

Near created and headed by the elderly politician of the Institute of world civilizations, the sounds of Imperial “God save the Tsar” with 3-meter-high statue pulled down her hitherto hid the shroud.

Apparently, the hero of the occasion was happy.

Joke of Ramzan Kadyrov

Has not passed also couple of weeks from the time when the whole Russia learned that the Chechen Republic is allocated the “content” of the Federal budget at the rate of 1 billion per day. But on April 11 it became known that the head of the region again complained to the Russian government to the President. He can do nothing to get the promised “Chechenneftekhimprom”, money for the restoration of Grozny airport and the resettlement of the 25 thousand people from areas prone to landslides. According to Kadyrov, these amounts are not included in regular grants.

So, how much money Russian cities to fix roads?
