Significant figures of the post-Soviet Russia
Boris Berezovsky, Boris Yeltsin, Vladimir Putin, Alexy II
ОглавлениеBoris Berezovsky
Boris Berezovsky. Birth – 1946, Moscow… study in the English (with in-depth study of the English language) special school… then at the Moscow Forestry Institute (the Faculty of Electronics and Counting and Decision Technology) … joining the Komsomol and the CPSU. In 1968—1969 years. – Work as an engineer at the Research Institute of Testing Machines, then as an engineer, research fellow, head of the Laboratory of the Institute of Control Sciences of the USSR Academy of Sciences. 1973 – graduated from the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow State University, as well as post-graduate courses at the Institute of Management Problems, project management for the implementation of automated control systems at AvtoVAZ. 1983 (already significantly less “Soviet” year) – defense of a doctoral dissertation in the specialization “Technical Cybernetics and Information Theory” … cooperation with the newspaper “Soviet Russia”. In this period, according to Berezovsky, he is more than ever happy after all.
In 1989, already, almost post-perestroika, the interim year, Berezovsky creates “LogoVAZ” – an enterprise engaged in the sale of VAZ, withdrawn from foreign car dealerships. Since 1994, the time of the already obvious “wild capitalism” Boris Abramovich is the head of the “Automobile All-Russian Alliance” (AVVA), in general, quite successfully producing cars (in particular, declared “popular”, but, perhaps, never became them, Chevrolet Niva – “Shnyava”). The businessman’s interests are not limited to the overwhelming majority of “new Russians”, eating black caviar, buying new residential areas, and open access to elite prostitutes. The highest interest is politics, the continuation of one’s “I” in other people. In 1995, Boris Abramovich participates in the creation of Public Russian Television (ORT), and is on the board of its directors. Later he creates or acquires such socially important media as the Publishing House Kommersant, TV-6, Our Radio, Nezavisimaya Gazeta, Novye Izvestia, Komsomolskaya Pravda, Avtopilot, Molotok, Ogonyok, and others.
Since 1996, according to the general movement to possess “black gold”, Berezovsky is a member of the board of directors of Sibneft.
At the same time, BAB becomes Deputy Secretary of Security of the Russian Federation and Executive Secretary of the CIS. The businessman finances the election campaign of Boris Yeltsin, considers it possible to give many “useful advice”. For example, he (and also his accomplice, oligarch, well-known Arkady (Badri) Patkratsishvili, with their same, uncontested words) recommends the first President of the Russian Federation his longtime friend, Vladimir Putin as a successor. Councils are accepted, however, the communication between the Yeltsin family and the “gray cardinal” takes place without special sincerity. It seems that Berezovsky realizes this, and, just in case, to monitor the situation, gradually prepares the alternatives for eliminating the highest state officials from power.
In September 2001, who do not want to be eliminated in any case, the authorities of the Russian Federation are charging Berezovsky with an absentee accusation of embezzling Aeroflot’s money and are being announced for an international search. B.A.B. is at this moment abroad, where his relations with the law are also bad; and prefers, after all, to stay in the UK. Here he, in particular, writes the proclamations, which are then quoted on the Moscow radio station Ekho Moskvy (2012), such as “An Open Letter Born Not in the USSR”. The main sense – “replacement of an ineffective socio-political structure of society in a progressive way” may be relevant, but, it is indicated, my friends, clearly not the person you want to listen to.
In 2004, Berezovsky participates in the financing of the presidential campaign in Ukraine, directly directs the actions of presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko, and his associate, Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko. The idea here is, as it were, democratic transformations in this country – which should be followed by corresponding progress in Russia. Changes in Ukraine do happen. But, apparently, by what kind of people these or those processes are being implemented – is also very important. There is democracy – power, carried out by quite conscious, principled (I add from myself – kind) citizens, and – okhlokratiya. You understand.
Berezovsky is a mystery man of the twenty-first century. This body, constantly residing in a fussy movement, rubbing its hands, is the arena of a fierce, apocalyptic struggle between good and evil.
According to some reports, Boris Abramovich is baptized in Israel, others – in Russia (after the failed assassination attempt on his person). In 2012, he announces the establishment of the “Movement of Resurrection”, and the beginning of the construction of the “Christian Democratic Revolutionary Party of Russia.” “Only the belief of citizens in fundamental Christian values – love and freedom – can save Russia … … The main consequence of the total transparency of relations between people is the inevitability of refusing to lie. This is the exorcism of the devil. The devil is a “liar and father of lies” (John 8:44). Subtlety and lies are the foundation of any authoritarian political system… The leader of the emerging new world will be the one who first perceives and implements the advanced idea – the idea of transparency, and, consequently, builds the most advanced and effective system of organizing society and the state … "– so says the entrepreneur. Specific ideas – the distribution of the English judicial system in the Russian Federation, the aesthetics of a “transparent society”, information equality (an official, an entrepreneur, an ordinary citizen – are the most important information about themselves), direct democracy, a liberal church, a confederation of regions-regions and, yes, constitutional monarchy. The citizenship of Russia is granted automatically to all those who pass the exam on the knowledge of the Russian language.
A possible candidate for the Russian throne is Russian more than Nicholas II, Prince Harry – whose great-grandmother, by the way, is the Greek queen, Olga Konstantinovna (the house of the Romanovs).
The subjects of the Confederation, on the basis of consensus, decide what functions of the authority to delegate to the Center, and not vice versa.
The State Duma and the Federation Council are abolished. Draft laws written by initiative citizens who have passed professional expertise are submitted for general voting via the Internet.
The financial activities of all religious faiths are carried out on the basis of transparency.
The Board of Directors of “Corporation Russia” presents for approval to shareholders the draft budget and quarterly reports, the Prime Minister may be dismissed on any date by a meeting of shareholders-citizens by voting on the Web. … Governments at the level of subjects and the Confederation are our employees.
Some points of the “Movement of the Resurrection” are useful to read without any abbreviations:
“An official assumes full financial transparency when taking office. Information on the expenses and incomes of any public official and his family members, from buying a car to a pack of condoms, automatically appears in the public domain”.
“A just court is the basis of statehood. The people need to give equal rights to the Russian elite, which has already chosen London as the capital of justice, and to introduce the English judicial system in Russia.”
“The universal right to create, disseminate and obtain information. Every citizen is provided by the state with access to the global information network (Internet), through which not only the free exchange of information, but also democracy is carried out”.
“Oil, gas, other natural resources belong not to the state, but to the people. All profits from the extraction of natural resources go not to the budget, but are divided equally among Russian citizens. In today’s prices, after the elimination of corruption schemes, each family will receive a monthly payment of about a thousand dollars only from the sale of oil and gas.”
“The Russian language is the answer to the national question. Everyone who passes the exam for fluency in Russian and knowledge of Russian culture, can become a citizen of Russia regardless of the place of his permanent residence. Thus, the citizenship policy will simultaneously become the international policy of Russia – a way of Russia’s expansion into the world through the export of the main and unique achievement of Russian civilization – the great Russian culture and the great Russian language.
The Russians are maximalists, and exactly what appears to be a utopia is most realistic in Russia, “Berdyaev wrote. Russia can not survive if it does not become liberal, but if Russia becomes liberal, it will be the most!
Christ is Risen!…”
Berezovsky writes two personal letters to V. Putin, with regrets about a lot of unpleasant things, and an expression of a wish to return to Russia (amnesty for money). While this message is being analyzed in the Kremlin and the Supreme Court, on March 23, 2013 in the house of his ex-wife (Berkshire county), Berezovsky finds his security guard, the former Israeli intelligence agent Mossad, hanged. The bathroom where the suicide occurred was allegedly locked from the inside, but this position is disputed by many authoritative sources. According to The Guardian, the ex-oligarch finds a broken rib.
Boris Berezovsky is buried according to Christian custom on a huge (350 thousand “places”) necropolis cemetery Brookwood (Surrey). The photo of the grave, which is represented here – all that is left of it in free use on the resource “Google”.
Private life. The first wife – Nina (Korotkova), the beginning of the seventies, two daughters. The second marriage – Galina (Besharova), 1991, daughter and son. In 1993, Galina went to the UK, filed for divorce and, thanks to the same English judicial system, reaches a record £ 200 million in compensation. The oligarch lives in a civil marriage with Elena Gorbunova, becomes the father of two more children and, in 2013, on a lawsuit from London, of course, pays, for all the feelings shown to him, a few million pounds more. Hobbies – theaters, restaurants, nightclubs.
From left to right: 1. Boris Yeltsin 2. Vladimir Putin 3. Alexy the Second, photo 1999
1. Boris Yeltsin. Birth – 1931, with. Bout of the Ural region (as it is quite usual then – in a family repressed and miraculously survived – peasant workers) … admission to the Ural Polytechnic Institute. S. Kirov… graduation from the university with the qualification “engineer-builder”. Theme of the thesis, if it is, you are interested in the friends – “Television towers”. In the trust “Uraltyazhtrubstroy” Boris Nikolayevich works as a joiner, concrete worker, plasterer, crane operator, foreman, foreman, site manager (1957). Since 1966, Yeltsin is the director of the Sverdlovsk House-Building Plant. After passing several more steps of the career ladder, the future President becomes secretary of the Sverdlovsk Regional Committee of the CPSU, responsible for the industrial development of the region, and later the first secretary of this regional committee. The post, approximately equal to the current situation of the governor, B. Yeltsin occupies until 1985. During this time, Boris Nikolaevich differs, in particular, by erecting the highest in the country, marble-covered 23-storey building of the regional committee of the CPSU (nicknamed “Tooth of Wisdom”) and, according to the decision of the Politburo, the demolition of the house of the Ipatievs (the place of execution of the royal family). In general, as an economic manager, B.N.E. shows itself not bad.
Since 1979, B. Yeltsin is a deputy to the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. In 1981, he also became a member of the Central Committee of the CPSU. In 1985, on the recommendation of Yegor Ligachev, secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, a prominent figure in “perestroika”, Boris Nikolayevich was transferred to Moscow, as secretary of the Central Committee for Construction.
At the end of the same significant year, B.N.E. occupies the post of first secretary of the Moscow City Committee of the CPSU. The company starts cleaning the Soviet and party apparatus (strange, but it’s really not the same thing), food fairs are organized, the demolition of historic buildings is prohibited, and the Day of the City begins to be celebrated. Also, Boris Yeltsin gets some popularity, and popularity among the people, thanks to demonstrative trips on public transport (followed by a swift “diving” into the official “Volga”), personal checks of shops, warehouses, etc. Since autumn 1987, the MP publicly criticizes the leadership of the party, the incipient “personality cult” of Mikhail Gorbachev, the slow pace of perestroika, and so on. A wave of counter criticism moves Yeltsin to “just” the post of USSR Minister for Construction. The next wave – the popular popularity, hears Boris Nikolayevich, through the step of the deputy from Moscow, to the heights of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. In May 1990, Boris Nikolayevich was elected chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR. On June 12 of the same year, the Congress of People’s Deputies of the RSFSR adopted the Declaration on State Sovereignty of the RSFSR. This day, as is known, is now a state holiday of the Russian Federation. The political weight of Boris Yeltsin proper, in Russia, is rising. Exactly a month later BNE criticizes the party, Mikhail Gorbachev, and declares his withdrawal from the CPSU.
So, the start is given, and since August 1990, one after another, the republics of the USSR declare their sovereignty. Regions of the Russian Federation are broadcasting considerably, much more independence: the Komi, Adygea, Buryatia, the Gorno-Altaisk Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, Chuvashia, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Tatarstan, and other national entities. The Russian Federation is on the verge of transformation into a confederation (such is, unusually for us, a loose one).
Be that as it may, MS Gorbachev wants to preserve the USSR – and, of course, with his post of President. The Fourth Congress of People’s Deputies of the USSR (December 24, 1990) proposes a new draft of the Union Treaty.
In the meantime, ethnic Latvians, Lithuanians, do not want to wait for any bureaucratic procedures, and go to mass (50 thousand people) rallies. Only the faithful of the OMON are opposed to them. The assimilated, or simply apathetic Russians, do not show any noticeable activity. Bulky tanks when it comes to confronting such a continuous front, are not sufficient, reliable help. A total of six or ten people die, Latvia and Lithuania formally remain in the jurisdiction of the USSR, but… this is already an obvious wormhole in the body of the colossal state.
Boris Yeltsin sharply criticizes Gorbachev for the actions of the military, and suggests transferring all power to the Federation Council (the heads of the union republics). Slack response of Mikhail Sergeyevich – organization March 17, 1991 All-Union referendum on the renewal and preservation of the USSR. Yes, most citizens of the Soviet Union (except for the Baltic countries, Georgia, Moldova, Armenia) are “for”; but when such things are generally put to the vote, it is clear that, in any case, the final is close.
June 12, 1991, 57% of the votes “for”, Boris Yeltsin is elected President of Russia.
His first steps, it should be noted, seem quite reasonable. So, these are decrees “On Priority Measures for the Development of Education in the RSFSR” and “On the Termination of the Activity of the Organizational Structures of Political Parties and Mass Public Movements in State Bodies, Institutions and Organizations of the RSFSR”. Now, recall, there and there, in the executive state apparatus (which, it seems, should be neutral) is dominated by clearly expressed representatives of a particular party.
On August 20, the signing of the “Treaty on the Union of Sovereign States” is scheduled. The Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan are expected to be updated beyond recognition of the USSR; Later, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine and Turkmenistan could join them.
Representatives of the original party elite disagree with this. They (and many, many very many citizens of the USSR) like the former, standard, fateful, early Brezhnev kind of the great Soviet Union. As is known, they organize the State Committee for the State of Emergency (State Emergency Committee), from August 18 to 21 seize power… television… But, fellow citizens, there are simply no bright, respected persons in the composition of this Committee. Leave at least one of them out of yourself, say a word about the great future and the past, repent of your mistakes, renounce sin (Stalin’s system of one-man rule) cry sobbingly – it would probably work. But these people are trying to save face, act in the style of the KGB, officially-formally-rude – and, of course, lose.
Gorbachev is trying to stay away from all this, but, despite this cautious policy, is losing the post of President of the USSR. A little later, he completely dropped out of the political struggle, declining for permanent residence abroad.
So, the signing of the Union Treaty breaks down. Formed by the Yeltsin CIS – the Union of Independent States, an absolutely pragmatic union of the eight former republics of the Soviet Union.
Yeltsin forms decrees on price liberalization, free trade, etc. Yes, this contributes to the filling of the consumer market with goods. But, the policy of the Central Bank, the Office with unknown beneficiaries, since 1990, a private, remaining and now a mystery to all publicists without exception, contributes to hyperinflation, a sharp decline in social payments, savings, and so on.
In 1993, the government of the Russian Federation, headed by Yeltsin, entered into a clinch with (blocking many presidential decrees) by the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation. Recall that, sometime (May 1990), Boris Nikolayevich himself was the chairman of this supreme legislative body of the Russian Federation. At that time, people actively advocated the abolition of the Communist Party and (somehow it is mixed up) against the revival of the Soviet Union under the guidance of some unattractive gray persons from the security services. However, the Soviets, it is, ideally, the organ of the representation of the people themselves … something in common is quite another. So, although, the Bolshevik Soviets are too united (formally – since 1977), here the opinion of the people is divided almost fifty to fifty.
The conflict, as is known, is solved by the execution of the House of Soviets, 300 human victims, 3 or 4 burnt armored cars. Yeltsin wins. Activities of the Soviets of all levels are suspended. About this event, catastrophically fast, citizens of the Russian Federation forget.
…In June 1991, the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria was singled out of the Russian Federation. Mass genocide of all those inhabitants of the region who are not ethnic Chechens is unfolding. About 30 thousand people die.
Also, Chechens organize mass, literally, conveyor abductions of people in related areas of the Russian Federation – either by turning them into their home slaves, or by demanding a huge ransom payment.
All this in the media is not particularly advertised, but, for some unknown psychological channels, reaches the consciousness of the leaders of the Russian Federation. Yes, people all over the world should understand that crimes against the Russian people, sooner or later, even as if it is clumsy, and under other slogans, are severely suppressed.
On December 11, 1994, according to Yeltsin’s decree “On Measures to Restore Constitutional Legality and Law and Order in the Territory of the Chechen Republic”, federal forces will enter the territory of Chechnya. The territory of the republic is taken under control. Dying about 80 thousand people. Unfortunately, the action is not formalized, first of all, as the evacuation of the remaining (oppressed) non-Chechens, which leads to disorder in the minds of the residents of the Russian Federation, and to many foreign policy complications. In 1996, thanks to the conciliatory and conjunctural policy of the Russian leadership, Russian troops leave Chechnya. By itself, this republic, its population, of true Russia is completely alien, while preserving the state of things, Chechnya could get complete independence. As is known, the emphasis is not on social protection of the population, but on arms purchases, the aggression of Ichkeria into the adjacent subjects of the Russian Federation (Dagestan, etc.), terrorist attacks in the territory of the most central Russia, simply force the Kremlin to conduct a second military campaign (1999)…
Under Yeltsin, this undoubtedly respects freedom of speech. Boris Nikolayevich, the essence, not a villain. However, most print media, television, radio, fall under the control of these or other financial groups. You, dear reader, can yourself, if you will, trace where the roots of funding for one of your favorite newspapers, the news block on TV, go – and understand who exactly needs it.
In 1996, thanks to financial influences of Russian oligarchs, American advisors, etc., B. Yeltsin won again in the presidential election. It seems that his opponent, the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Gennady Zyuganov himself is happy about this. Already deeply ill, Boris Nikolaevich pulls the power strap until 1999.
The rating of Russia in the international arena now… in general, we can say, is positive.
In 1999, NATO countries are carrying out point-bombings of Yugoslavia. The external reason for this action is the forced expulsion by the Serbs, the extremely unfriendly (settled by the weird Josip Broz Tito), … how many hundreds of thousands of Albanians from their (Serbian) ancestral lands (the province of Kosovo). However, the sight of a tear-stained child in the television camera of a world TV channel operator means at times many more official statements and realities of the time. Unsuscussed in a large-scale media struggle, Serbia loses this war. Boris Yeltsin does not like this situation, he threatens to aim nuclear missiles at the US again, but…
Perhaps, and the First World War, because of Serbia, for Russia is already quite enough.
In the same year, Yeltsin publicly appoints a successor (acting head of state), before that – the FSB director, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. It is worth recalling the last words of Yeltsin as President:
“I made a decision. Long and agonizing over it reflected. Today, on the last day of the passing century, I resign.”
Later, according to little studied psychological laws, this official statement is transformed into what is now known: “I’m tired. I’m leaving”.
Then Yeltsin lives on the government dacha, surrounded by pleasant luxury, asphalt with heating, and, count, dear friends, full of security. However, over time, his protege deprives Boris Nikolayevich of meetings with members of the government, and in general, of any other possibility, at leisure, to seriously influence anything in the world around him. The ex-president is dissatisfied with the curtailment of freedom of speech and the institution of elections… a new anthem of the Russian Federation, an old melody, but, to say something really valid, is no longer able. However, it seems, his supervision of what is happening in Russia, has a certain, very beneficial effect on the situation in the country.
Boris Nikolaevich dies in 2007, from cardiac arrest. To many, very many, the time of its voluntary exile (2000—2007) is now remembered as the golden age of the “zero” ones.
Private life. His wife is Anastasia (from the age of 25, officially Naina) Yosefovna Yeltsin (Girin), since her studies at the institute, two daughters.
2. Vladimir Putin. Birth – 1952, Leningrad, … life in a communal apartment without amenities… studying in a special school with a chemical bias on the basis of a technological institute. Continuing education, since 1970 – Law Faculty of Leningrad State University (acquaintance with its associate professor, Anatoly Sobchak), distribution to the State Security Committee (KGB). Work in the investigative department of the Leningrad KGB (5th Directorate, the fight against “ideological sabotage”), after retraining – a trip to Dresden (formal position – Director of the Dresden House of Friendship of the USSR-GDR). After the unification of Germany and, in fact, the loss of the meaning of further work under cover, Putin submits a report on dismissal from the KGB of the USSR (1991). The new place of service is the rector’s office of Leningrad State University, and also the Leningrad-Petersburg City Hall. Vladimir Putin’s terms of reference are the organization of the currency exchange in the Northern Capital, attracting investments, and much, much more. In 1995, VVP, already an official deputy mayor of Petersburg, heads the regional branch of the party “Our House – Russia”. Simultaneously, V.P. passes training on the program of the American National Democratic Institute of International Relations (NDI); created by the US government to “promote democracy in developing countries” (through the appropriate training of “reformist political activists”).
In 1997, V. Putin defended the thesis of candidate of economic sciences (something about planning the reproduction of the region’s mineral and raw materials base). Later it turns out (information is not verified in independent sources thoroughly) that 16 of the 20 key pages of V.P.P.‘s work have been compiled from the articles of the textbook “Strategic Planning and Politics” by professors-analysts of Pittsburgh University (USA). The main theme here is, as if – the merger of the leading corporations (“national champions”) with the vertical of power, and the implementation of state policy.
In 1996, Vladimir Putin holds the post of deputy administrator of the affairs of the President of the Russian Federation (Pavel Borodin), and later the head of the Main Control Directorate of the President of the Russian Federation. Since July 1998 V.P. becomes director of the Federal Security Service (FSB).
At 12 o’clock in the afternoon, 1999, the incumbent head of state Boris Yeltsin appoints Vladimir Putin as his successor (vice-president of the Russian Federation).
Since the beginning of zero, the country is filled with petrodollars. The price of oil rises from $ 20 in 2000 to $ 140 in 2008 (that is, 7 times). At the same time, the economic development curve in general is clearly repeating the rise in GDP growth rates of the country from 1997 to 2000. (with a short-term failure from GKOs). Thus, the successes (or failures) of President Putin’s economic policy are completely masked by the flow of free oil money. In general, the real average income of citizens from 2000 to 2013 is doubled ($ 17,500 per year): it’s true.
One of the first universally recognized successes of Vladimir Vladimirovich is the tax reform. The number of different taxes is reduced by 3, 6 times – from 54 to 15. The budget is filled with more budget. A social explosion (rising raw material prices is too obvious for everyone) is prevented.
On December 1, 2001, the Unity movement, the election blocs “Fatherland – All Russia” and “Our Home – Russia” merge into a single liberal-conservative political party, “United Russia”. Interestingly, the words-antonyms “liberalism” and “conservatism” are somehow united in one. Giant all-embracing party like the CPSU uses the administrative apparatus of the state, and its financial apparatus, to achieve its own (not necessarily coincident with the wishes of the people) goals. Putin is not directly a member of the union, but so-called. EdRo is focused on supporting this particular leader. Some points of the original Manifesto of the Party are interesting:
…By 2008, each family will have its own comfortable housing, worthy of the third millennium, regardless of the level of today’s income.
…In 2005 every citizen of Russia will receive his share from the use of natural resources of Russia
…By 2010 the transport highway St. Petersburg-Anadyr, Tokyo-Vladivostok-Brest and other
…By 2017, Russia will be the leader of world politics and economy.
Later this (already sent to the regions) document as it is obscured. Only classical is expressed, expressed by numerous vague phrases “Path of National Success” (2003). A characteristic phrase: “… The modern accounting approach to the economy must give way to strategic planning, the ability to see the economic perspective and unite the country’s efforts around the real points of economic growth.”
In December 2004, V. Putin abolished direct elections of heads of regions. Somehow he links this one-person unconstitutional decision with the tragedy in Beslan (the capture of the children’s school by Chechen terrorists). In April 2013, following the order of V.P.P.‘s successor, Dmitry Medvedev, the election of governors “returns”, but it turns out that the regional parliaments “voluntarily” renounce them. By April 2006, 66 out of 88 regional leaders became members of the pro-presidential United Russia party.
Simultaneously, the transition to elections to the deputies of the State Duma is carried out exclusively on party lists. Self-nominees from single-mandate constituencies, which, for example, enjoy serious support from the people on the ground, independent of the “corporate ethics” of this or that party, can not be found in the State Duma. Only the party apparatchiks remain – or people taken solely for “beauty” (boxers, gymnasts, actors, etc.).
The number of officials at different levels, from 2000 to 2008. (including state corporations licensing, registering and controlling bodies) is increased 2.2 times, to almost 2 million people. To pay for their work, they spend about 1.2 trillion. rubles annually. The main problem, however, is not the number, and not the high salaries (the deputy minister in the RF officially receives 106 minimum wages, in Europe, civil servants of this level – 3—4). The main thing is that the Russian official is installed on the fact that he is simply obliged to prohibit something, not to cultivate, and to promote a useful work.
In 2013, in response to the “Magnitsky list”, which freezes foreign accounts of the figures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Antimonopoly Service, the Federal Tax Service, the Arbitration Court and the Prosecutor General’s Office, involved in frauds with money laundering and the murder of lawyer S. Magnitsky with the pre-trial detention center, n. “The law of Dima Yakovlev.” The countries of the USA and Western Europe are deprived of the right to adopt Russian children (whom no one else in the Russian Federation wants to take) children.
The law is given the name of a Russian boy who died in the US as a result of a tragic accident. Meanwhile, from 1991 to 2006 in Russia 92 thousand children were adopted, in North America and Western Europe – 160 thousand. In Russian families only 1,202 children die in official statistics (not taking into account the lethal outcome of various diseases) during this period. In addition, in the USA and Europe, “refuseniks” are usually seriously ill, disproportionately better medical care (survival is three times higher). Thus, all those people who are involved in the enactment of the law of Dima Yakovlev (in a society known as the “Law of King Herod”) are the cause of the painful death of at least 400 (chained to hospital beds) children per year.
…Yes, we (almost) all very much loved Vladimir Putin. It was, it was, my friends. More than even Gorbachev and Yeltsin, until about the middle of their term of government. And, perhaps, “the law of King Herod” was the first, barely audible bell “here something is wrong.”
One more thing… The president states that “there are no troops in the Crimea”. Maybe this is an important tactical move. The game with the words “troops – special forces”. We are sure that the reunion of the Crimea is a sure and inevitable step, due to the fact that part of Russia, alas, can be directly influenced by the Evil One. For the sake of getting rid of sweeps of the Crimea, the voluntary neo-Nazi battalions of Ukraine can be paid a serious price. But the President is deceiving. Open. International community. We are with you.
We can say everything as it is, and we would have agreed. But, the beginning of the Big Lie is laid. Lying is transmitted to the lower layers of power. Further – there are secret burials of the heroes of Russia who died in the Donbass (photos piled in four layers, where in the medical unit, the remaining nameless people). You know, friends, it’s hard … to see on the corpses distinctive signs … a homemade emblem, a scarf, one must think, someone given, something that was once important to this person, and all the like. In Syria, in less than four hours, 400—500 fighters of the Private Military Company of Wagner (registration in Argentina) are killed, who were left without air cover, and, at the request of the Coalition declared by the signalman as “nonexistent”. They are beaten as defenseless kittens by military drones of Americans. You can find these frames on the web, what the whole world saw. But, the Russian Foreign Ministry (the notorious Zakharova), the Press Secretary of the President Peskov again broadcasts something unintelligible.
…In March 2014 in Crimea, a referendum on accession to Russia is held. The Russian Armed Forces support this endeavor. All is correct, otherwise the sunny peninsula can turn into one big Odessa House of Trade Unions. Ukraine is deeply mentally ill (even more so than Russia). Whatever it was, the countries of the West are imposing sanctions against Russia. Foreign banks stop lending to some Russian enterprises. Its gold and currency assets in the Russian Federation are hundreds of billions of Euros-dollars, but they are kept (so that they are not stolen), in securities of the same Europe and North America (for interest percentages per annum). In one way or another, the President and his oligarchic friends seem to take this attitude very offensively, and then, of course, they introduce “unsanctions”. The main purpose is to establish an “iron curtain” for foreign food products, medicines and certain types of high-tech products. The damage to the people of Russia from the “unsanctions” of the President exceeds the damage from sanctions (if it exists at all) in tens or hundreds of times.
The third bell is a demonstrative destruction of foodstuffs stopped at the customs. It’s strange that all this blasphemy is permitted by a man whose own brother died of hunger and disease in besieged Leningrad. Then all these calls merge into a single alarming buzz. The entry of troops into Syria results in the death of people, considerable financial expenses, deprivation of citizens of the Russian Federation for an inexpensive and high-quality holiday in Egypt, then Turkey.
In August 2016, contrary to the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the laws that emanate from Moscow, then (the imitative principle in an authoritarian society) and regions, the second, most powerful wave of demolition of the so-called “self-construction” is rolled. To build something autocratically in the capital is impossible in principle. These buildings are quite necessary for citizens, for the erection of cafes – retail outlets, etc., there is permission from state structures – but this is all simply not interesting to the resurgent System. The third, already rising wave is the total demolition of 5,17 thousand good Moscow five-story houses (together with infrastructure facilities, schools, kindergartens and hospitals), the construction of skyscrapers – to which of the all-Russian budget in the pocket of “Putin’s friends”, the Rothenberg brothers, without special obstacles are allocated 55 billion dollars.
“National Champions” V. Putin – commodity campaigns. We do not know for sure whether the ultimate enlargement of these political and economic entities has led to an increase in labor productivity. Compare, in general, there is nothing. Perhaps, it is due to its specificity (taken out of the ground – quickly sold) raw mastodons are devoid of any creativity of thinking, and are not able to lead the country along the path of development, as they say, of innovative technologies. In total, 110 “Friends of Putin” – billionaires, who have ridden raw materials, have at their disposal at least 35% of the national wealth of the country. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) in the offshore (or simply, abroad) 75% of the national income of the country is deduced. Most of the financial transactions are made outside the Russian Federation. Money is not something that is derived from the Russian Federation, they are simply there, and do not even look. All this makes Putin’s Russia very much like a raw-material colony of the United States and Great Britain (how many serious money transactions on the territory of the Russian Federation are conducted through the Bank of England offices in the British Virgin Islands).
There is a “rearmament of the Army”. For this purpose, not less than 22 trillion is allocated. rubles (2, 2 trillion rubles, 42 billion dollars a year). The annual expenditure on health care is 0.6 trillion. R. Note that a significant number of so-called. “Defense enterprises” – private, some – state, and there is “a mixed type.” The prices for their products are set arbitrarily. The procurement procedure is completely opaque. Yes, it may seem to you that everything is all right, it’s a military secret, but, in fact, even at the edge of consciousness, you do understand that we are being deceived again and again? A significant part of strategic enterprises actually belongs to foreigners. There, abroad, our money is leaking out so easily. Television, the Internet is sometimes shown by some new miracle tank, or a projected PAK-FA airplane, but, in fact, these things are either stuck (on the Red Square, in preparation for the parade), or fly like that at all wrong. The current basis for arming the Russian Army is Soviet technology. Yes, it is modernized, and huge amounts of money are allocated – but this modernization is reduced, for the most part, to the replacement of oil and the painting of armored cars.
Wherever the military units really are, are on alert. But, in the main part of the RA, the activity of officers is more and more reduced to simple clerical work. From the soldiers’ barracks, the “weapons room”, it’s interesting to avoid any emergency situations (which can lead to dismissal, loss of wages of 120 thousand rubles and many pleasant benefits), small arms are deposited in a warehouse. The Russian Army, perhaps, is somewhat better than the Soviet Army, a model of the 70s of the last century: crippled the psyche and, at times, the bodies of soldiers, but it is definitely a paper tiger.
…It should be noted that the so-called. “Re-equipment” of the Russian army, bravado of Russian top officials in the style of “We’ll beat you all”, incidents with the Coalition aircraft in Syria are quite beneficial to the governments of Western Europe and the United States. They also need to maintain their population in a tone and, yes, have serious reasons for sending funds to the military-industrial complex. Only they have it all goes to their advantage, because:
1) Advanced military technology is freely transferred to civilian.
2) The active functioning of the MIC makes it possible to avoid a crisis of overproduction.
3) Clever boys from MIT, Harvard, Cambridge, etc. receive a lot of money, for work “head and hands”, which is very like beautiful girls; and thus, together, they enrich the gene pool of their state in every possible way.
In Russia, though, the invented engineers of the military-industrial complex are deprived of the opportunity to transfer the received technologies to “a citizen”, because that’s all, ah, always such an inconceivably secret. We also, perhaps, never had a crisis of overproduction. Insane allocations to the military industry only ruin the country.
…Obtaining a visa in the Russian Federation, the stay of foreign citizens from developed democratic countries on the territory of Russia is complicated in every possible way. The citizens of Russia themselves are prohibited from dual citizenship (except in Tajikistan and Turkmenistan). Maybe, in this way, the government of the Russian Federation is really struggling with some “evil influence of the West”? Is it not more believable, friends, the version that we are simply not allowed to communicate with the “simple” people of those states where officials are controlled by the people through democratic procedures, do not take bribes, behave like goodies … and judges are not allowed to drive drunk while driving? John, Smith, Luke, Adam … Jessica, Marietta, etc. in a friendly conversation, over a cup of tea, can explain how to create similar things in Russia. Yes, some in the governments of their own countries see the Russian Federation as a commodity colony, with a well-disguised external management. Yes, external audit of all serious organizations of Russia and now, right up to the infamous Uralvagonzavod, is carried out by foreign auditing companies Deloitte, KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young, McKinsey & Company … But tourists, missionaries, technologists do not with them there is a single conglomerate. Most of them wish us, and all people of the Earth all kinds of good. To help friends from Russia, they are not given by Russian officials … and, at times, ours, alas, is a conservative worldview.
Thus, some of the demonstrative attacks by Russian leaders on Western countries, engaging media broadcasts, in the style of Our Friends – Only the Army and the Fleet, are part of the system of camouflage of the colonial government.
…We once listened to this man with bated breath. Surprisingly, until around 2012 (excluding a scratch on the glass – the abolition of gubernatorial elections), everything seemed to be right. Now (2018) we only switch radio or TV. Speeches are sometimes, as it were, true: against corruption, offshore, for small business, to the world – peace, no war, … with a warning about the danger of artificial intelligence, and all the like. But all this is like… what? Imagine, you’re on the bus, and our driver is the Russian President. The driver turns around and starts to say: “The bus is not going there, we can crash into that tree, or fly into the ditch.” Here’s the news? Well, you have the steering wheel, pedals, levers, all controls, well, so do something, you’re a driver! “But, in response – no meaningful actions, again vysprennye proclamations. Someone from the passengers, somewhat imbued with the words of the driver, rushes to the steering wheel, but Vladimir Vladimirovich gives that to his hands. “You have no rights”.
Now this is the situation.
Literary resources are full of books in which the Stalinist dictatorship, autocracy, unconditional denial of democracy, are depicted in the most attractive light. Such collections, literally: “are brought by the Office of the President of Russia’s affairs in the register of publications recommended for reading to public servants and public and political figures”, are kept in the TOP for electronic “readers” for years. Yes… some freedom of speech on the Internet is still available. Other authors also oppose directly, Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin. But, when they link their arguments praising the political system of modern Ukraine, approve murder “Vatnikov” in the Donbass, the shelling “Grad” residential quarters, praised the Georgian ex-president Saakashvili and also trying in every way to humiliate the Russian people. With the likes of “enemies”, and no apologists style Dzhugashvili is not necessary… The deep confusion in the minds, closed on themselves and neighbors, apathy, ernichane, rage and impotence – these are the modern state of the noosphere (2018) Russia.
In 2000—2008, people are addicted to consumption: they buy all new cars, gadgets, spend money on empty entertainment, foreign trips, etc. This, of course, is not so bad. However, for all that they do not seek to raise their level of consciousness, education, do not try to master at least the very basics of governing the state through known democratic procedures. As a consequence, in the end, many of the money earned by citizens begin to swim more quickly in an unknown direction. Lost captains, his team deploys the ship not to where the passengers want, but to an unknown, it seems, the President himself, the side.
At the present time, colonial Russia, and people who are so fond of flaunting what others think for them, are preparing to accept the fourth term of VVP’s rule. There is practically no alternative. Without swinging, confident enough, the governor is capable of managing the country only, perhaps, the presidential governor. But, all heads of regions now (since 2004) are nominees of the incumbent President and, according to the laws of some “corporate ethics”, do not put forward their candidatures for this high post.

3. Alexis 2 (Alexei Mikhailovich Ridiger) – the birth of 1929, Tallinn… since childhood – help to clergymen in the altar (as a novice), … since 1946 – the service of the psalmist (sexton) in the Kazan church of the city of Tallinn. Admission to the Leningrad Theological Seminary, and then the Academy. In 1950 – married to a former classmate Vera Alekseeva, four days later, according to the statute of the Russian Orthodox Church – the realization of the possibility of taking priests’ dignity (despite the fact that Ridiger did not accept monasticism). And, in the first year of service, there is a gap between Father Alexei and Mother Vera. The permission for divorce (and the subsequent service) is given by a certain ruling priest, Gregory.
Recall that according to the fundamental canons of the Russian Orthodox Church, the divorced priest, with the exception of more than rare cases, where the priest is, without any reasons, initiator, is prohibited in worship (that is, directly, ceases to be). Yes, he can continue climbing in the church hierarchy after the death of his wife, or her voluntary retirement to the monastery. But, again to marry (there are no exceptions) – no.
Alexey serves in the church, continues his studies at the theological academy, and finishes it with the title of candidate of theology (course composition “Metropolitan of Moscow Filaret as a Dogmatist”). In 1959, he takes monastic vows. At the Tallinn department, Alexis, who eventually becomes Metropolitan and Archbishop, serves until 1968.
1974 – Metropolitan of Tallinn and Estonian publicly approves the deportation (according to the decision of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR) of the writer, the exposer of the GULAG, Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
In 1975, according to credible independent sources, Ridiger founded the Rodina society, which serves as a cover for the activities of the KGB. The same “Office” contributes to his further successful career.
In 1984, Alexy became a doctor of theology. For some time he was the manager of the affairs of the Moscow Patriarchate. In 1989, the Metropolitan; interestingly, is elected by the people’s deputy of the USSR from the Soviet fund of mercy and health.
After the death of Patriarch Pimen in May 1990, the Local Council (June 7 of the same year) elects Metropolitan Alexy II, the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church, known to us.
In 1996, with the application of the new Patriarch, taking advantage of the privileges presented by the states, the ROC receives from Germany, and resells, 18 billion cigarettes free of charge, 7% of the legal market of the Russian Federation. Later, as a result of the scandal raised by other “tobacco kings”, Alexy II refuses this temptation.
In 1998, Alexis II awarded A. Solzhenitsyn the Order of Saint Prince Daniel of Moscow II degree.
In 2008, Alexei dies of a heart attack. The legacy is about 300 million rubles. passes to the closest associate of the Patriarch from the mid-1960s, Abbess Philaret (Alexandra Smirnova).
Revenues of the ROC:
1. “Mug” – donations of parishioners, made during and after the service. They are not considered the main source of income, but rather a prize to priests (black cash) for a job well done.
2. Sale of candles – “Candle”, about 65% of all income.
3. “Goods” – everything sold by the temple shop in addition to candles – church wine, icons, books, ornaments.
4. “Trebs” – baptism, funeral service, reading memorial notes, and the like.
In addition, the income of the Russian Orthodox Church includes direct state inflows, large donations from private individuals (often with a thorough criminal past), and also the amounts obtained as a result of the “monetization” of various kinds of benefits.
What wishes for the ROC are available, directly to the author of this book?
First. When I enter any temple of the Russian Orthodox Church, no one pays any attention to me there? Perhaps the reader will now be filled with laughter: “How come, who are you, hmm, author… that someone should pay attention to you?”. I answer: “A man who came to the Christian church.” This is already quite a lot.
…I remember the time of the first mid-nineties. To conduct their activities, foreign pastors rent the Culture Houses, cinemas and Palaces of Sport. I was there. At the entrance, friendly young girls give you the New Testament, say “Hello” and smile. In the hall they give a lecture (or, preaching), which is, first of all, a set of light slogans – and they offer to be baptized. In the first case, the Sacrament takes place in a dedicated room (in effect, any visitor who is there during the performance becomes a Protestant Christian). Option (cinema-concert hall “October”) – you, right in your clothes, go into the inflatable pool, where you are watered with holy water.
All this looks a little naive, childish, of course, but its Grain is also there. At least people are smiling, they are noticed, they are trying to talk to them, and to attract to their side (completely free of charge). The thought arises that, yes; after the action, somewhat reminiscent of profanity, one could indeed attend such a seeing church. How is it in America? On weekends people from all around the town gather in the assembly hall of the temple (without frills), discuss the state of things, with each other, and the pastor, receive advice, and make serious conclusions for the future. The priest, by the way, is an elected one. From the number of parishioners. Simply, you are a good Christian. Beyond a complex hierarchy and, perhaps, corrupt schemes.
I want to be recognized in the temple. Now this is not.
Unless, of course, you are not an important government official, or, trying to gloss over depression, an authoritative donor.
Second wish. So that in the Christian church you can talk. Namely, it is easy to communicate with parishioners, priests, express questions, and listen to valuable advice. Evaluate the activities of the parish priest. Trace the financial flow of the temple. With our own eyes to see how the tracks are executed – and, perhaps, personally, participate in their departure.
To the temple had separate chapels, the choir of chapels, for private prayer and confession.
Third, under the curtain: yes, I would, perhaps, wish, in old age, to move to a monastery or monastery, and so that they take good care of me. Theoretically, this is possible even now (provided that the apartment is donated and the pension is redirected). But, the living conditions behind the church fence are too rigid. More from the words of knowledgeable people than from the media, the author is aware of the rudeness of the monks, some hazing in relation to the novices, and all the like. Beautiful wise old age on this background is hardly possible. In the New Church, let’s suppose that people (even of both sexes and different religions) could simply enjoy, even festive, live together (even with separate furnished rooms – cells) and, only once a day, gather for a common two-hour prayer for the agreement. Hopes for the salvation of their souls, as well as the themes of the multiplication of earthly happiness in their country, lively debates, communication with spiritualized youth – volunteers, in the best and most willingly – gardening – this should be the Church home for the elderly in Russia.
