“Clinging to power at all costs”: Finnish expert on Vladimir Putin

80

The consequences of the twenty-year rule of Russian President Vladimir Putin are trying to analyze Finnish experts, whose statements are quoted by the newspaper Suomenmaa.

Briefly recalling the main stages of the reign of the current head of state, they tried to give their assessment of the current situation and possible prospects.



Both invited experts believe that Putin will be able to maintain power until 2036, when he will be 84 years old, but this may require innovative solutions.

So Professor Markku Kangaspuro, director of the Alexander Institute in Helsinki, believes that the Kremlin can take an unexpected move, which hardly anyone can predict now.

His colleague is more intransigent.

The country has gradually slipped from weak democracy to increasingly harsh authoritarianism, the vulnerability of which is dependence on Putin himself. [...] An impudent and dishonest game is what all this clinging to power at any cost looks like. Complete dependence on one person shows that Putinism cannot exist without Putin

- says a senior fellow at the Institute of External policy Yusya Lassila.

According to the expert, given the effects of the pandemic and economic recession, there is no guarantee that in the fateful 2024 Putin will have the necessary popular support.

    Impudent and dishonest game, here is how all this clinging to power at all costs looks

    A significant point - at all costs to taxpayers.
    It is difficult not to agree with this opinion - but how else to explain the "non-resistance" to the "Tereshkova amendment"? And most importantly - why cling - because he has everything and is unlikely to be better. Maybe he is afraid that they will be dragged into the courts - like Poroshenko? If so, then for the sake of this the people must endure another 16 years of "stability"? Oh nafig.

I had the right (until October 3, 2018) to retire at 60. And now I don't have this right - so maybe it was "diminished"? And who signed the corresponding Federal Law - for an hour, not a guarantor? smile

          The state, pursuing a socio-economic policy, is obliged to take into account "the material resources necessary also for the fulfillment of other constitutionally significant tasks." Authorities pass laws in the interests of Russians, "even if lawmaking intentions do not receive the support of a significant portion of citizens." Moreover, the Constitution does not imply the need for a nationwide discussion of the bill ..

          I'm afraid to drag it to the courts in this case, you have not many chances. Some citizens, for example, until recently had the opportunity to transfer their "hard-earned" money to offshores without any taxes, but now their right, as you put it, is "diminished", and even the tax is not 13, but 15%. What do you think, what are the chances they have of dragging Putin to court? This is me to the fact that often officials pass laws affecting the property rights of various categories of citizens, and I don’t remember any precedents of prosecution for such a thing. They act within the limits of their authority. Here, even the excess of power can not be sewn. request
          Comparison with Poroshenko is incorrect, namely criminal cases, state treason, money laundering, embezzlement, tax evasion. This boar is an ordinary felon.

            Nobody is going to do this - I just assumed that he might be afraid of this (that's why he "clings", as it is written in the article). Kommersant reported on February 12 that a "group of comrades" had offered the former presidents lifetime membership in the Federation Council. If I am not mistaken, this is legal immunity, that is, a kind of guarantee of immunity.

          It is also an extortionate salary coefficient of 1,2 in the formula for calculating pensions (for the vast majority of pensioners, it significantly reduces the earned pensions by HONEST LONG WORK), which, when switching to a point-based system for calculating pensions, no one bothered to count the old people ... This is the notorious pension reform ... And this is generally a "gem", which clearly demonstrates the lack of even the rudiments of conscience among the current authorities and other "servants of the people" who eat up at the national expense: their impudent, with Dimon, NEDO-INDEX-2016, when the Russian old people in February 2016 indexed their miserable pensions by only 4% instead of 12,9%. If in 2016 pensions were indexed honestly, plus, in addition to the indexation of the 2017-2020 pensions of these old people cheated at 8,9%, then our pensions would be higher by 2-3-4 thousand MONTHLY underpaid and not at all extra rubles for us. The rulers have canceled their anti-crisis reduction by 10% long ago and are getting their absolutely outrageous salaries in full, but as usual, they "forgot" about the miserable pensions of Russian old people ?! And now, in the current situation, what is not a reason for our "socially oriented" state to correct this and return the insolently cheated Russian old people? It would be more than welcome!

    Every decision and every word of Putin is the arithmetic mean of the opinions of the Russian elite. And it will always be like this - any president who succeeds Putin will express a common opinion, and not his personal opinion. The same Yeltsin expressed the total illusions of the Russians.

      At the moment, in Russia there is a difference who the president is. Because the existing, new vertical is sharpened exclusively for its creator and often works exclusively in manual mode.

Putin's problem in the fact that, figuratively speaking, he is walking through the "minefield" of those cadres that he inherited along with the destroyed economy and under the control of the West.

    Yeah! My thoughts are far from being a politician, but as an advanced layman. And sometimes I want to "shout" about my own ... Backstage conversations are not in vogue today and the possibilities of various gadgets and freedom in the Internet community "untie their hands", which, although rarely, like everyone else, "scratch" at someone or something (right) ... For example, China and its very, very limited Internet for its citizens ... Now to the essence of the article. I believe that our President does not "cling to power", but values ​​it very much, placing responsibility at the head and, as a heavy burden on his shoulders, treats her as if to his own "child", who, being young (yes, early) himself, accepted him in an orphanage (poor conditions for healthy development) and still did not abandon it in hard times, but raised and strengthened it from many external diseases and addictions ... Is foreign policy, at present, more authoritative than him both as a strategist and as a scholar. I like his moral principles, the ability to conduct a conversation in public and win over me ... I, like most Russian citizens, really lack his attention in domestic politics on social issues, unfortunately ... Monthly (daily) changes and additions to laws. As soon as they are kept, incl. accountants who are unhappily fined for "ignorance" and mistakes. Various fines increased not only quantitatively, but also tens of times ... The deputies of the race are clever in inventing new fines and restrictions in all spheres of life, as if showing their worth and need ... Penalties are a serious source of income in our time, especially to regions and municipalities ... Not a forest or a river can now be visited without fear ... Fishermen without weights and rulers and knowledge of new strict standards, it is better not to appear on the shore at all ... Water motor enthusiasts are puzzled by a 200-meter ban on parking from the shore and the problem of dragging your favorite boat and shmurdyak ... and ..., ... But, as in a famous song - he knows better. Without quick victories in the military-industrial complex, an increase in GDP, as well as a national fund ... like the external aura of the country's immunity, chronic diseases of young Russia would remain ... Huge hydrocarbon money went to buy gold ... and China, for example, has trillions in US securities, and Trump is now looking for the excuse for not returning or delaying it, or to make China guilty of a coronavirus and demand more of its debt ... Russia invested huge funds, including and the accelerated production of new hypersonic weapons, and their presence with us, have not reduced the tentacles of NATO and the Pentagon, which, through puppets, have almost surrounded us at the very borders. Respect, Love, Addiction, fear - push for certain actions. The first three from the countries of the West will never wait. But the fear of winning from an equal or in something predominant, having the same historical spirit to win, first causes tremors in the arms or legs, and then the desire to adequately retire for more intensive training, or it dawns on what may need to be answered by the outstretched Russia hand of friendship and cooperation. Everyone has long understood, America probably needs NATO, because they are dependent puppets, and all threats can mainly be realized from their territories, and not from the USA itself. That's what their strategic and basic trick is. America also has fear, as a dependency that some ambitious puppet military leader will fire in our direction and, accordingly, will disappear in return and will have to intervene, well, then, a member of the NATO bloc needs to be defended and what's next ... risk of nuclear war ... I believe (as a man in the street) that all media should have a clear position of Russia in such a situation for America, that the first and lightning-fast response "gifts" will be sent with a notification and an inventory, to its territory ... to its ... The consequences are indescribable. And within minutes or at the same time on the territory of the source of the missile attack ... This is definitely to be learned. This will be another strategic trump card of ours ...

    If Putin clings to power, it is only because he knows that no one better than him will cope with the further development of the country. He needs to complete many of his global projects. No one but Putin could restore Russia after the Yeltsin lawlessness, when it already seemed that everything was irreversible. No one but Putin could return Crimea to Russia. No one could help Syria get rid of its occupation. He helped not only Syria, but primarily Russia, so following the enslavement of Syria, Iran and Russia were on the path of the USA and Israel, and China followed them. All foreign media that attribute to Putin the desire to lead the government at all costs are judged superficially, without going into the essence, and without analyzing Russian problems and Putin's role in overcoming them.

      What a presumption. How does he know that? This is a strange statement. But here all Putin’s less competitive and having ambitions, views and goals, skillfully and timely removes from the political scene.

      No one ... no one ... no one ...

      You can just as well say, not a fact, not a fact, not a fact.

      Following the enslavement of Syria, Iran and Russia were on the path of the USA and Israel.

      Iran has long been in the queue, during this time, the same Americans chewed, spat out and it is even rising again, and Iran is standing.

Financial flows are established, shares are divided and where the right people are sitting or decisive shareholdings are in the hands of international capital. Yeltsin's lawlessness was somewhat streamlined, which increased the efficiency of pumping resources and received a more welcoming face.

    The country has gradually slipped from weak democracy to increasingly harsh authoritarianism, the vulnerability of which is dependence on Putin himself. [...] An impudent and dishonest game is what all this clinging to power at any cost looks like. Complete dependence on one person shows that Putinism cannot exist without Putin ..

    Does this speaker even understand that Russia’s territory is more than 50 times larger than Finland? 30 times more in population? Ten times more in the number of nationalities?
    What the hell is democracy? This “puzzle” must be held in strong hands, otherwise it will simply fall apart into many, many small segments. Is this the dream of every “chukhonets”? And did such “Chukhons” think that if the “puzzle” breaks up, then a good hundred small “nuclear powers” ​​may appear in the world? Chechnya alone is worth it !!! You need to turn on your brain before voicing it at all!

        That is, you agreed with everything else.
        And this, in turn, justifies the style of today's governance of Russia.
        And in general, do you think that you know how, wittily, to grab “incoherent words” from my context and ask naive questions that seem tricky to you?) Aren't you afraid of a boomerang?

          I agree with the first part - "Putinism cannot exist without Putin." Otherwise, why fix his legacy in the Constitution? smile

      The dream of all world funds and capitalists, this is how much a resource for "optimization", and how many loans for "development" can be distributed. fellow

      Well, just one Chechnya, without any nuclear status, which has put everyone in a pose for a year, and here Finns have begun to criticize. It's a shame, however. crying

    According to the expert, given the consequences of the pandemic and the economic downturn, there is no guarantee that Putin will have the necessary popular support in the fateful 2024.

    The trouble is that HE no longer needs popular support. The notorious "OK" by all echelons of vertical power, including the lured elite in all strata of society, is being served for popular support. The people who do not have a voice on the central heating system are not able to change anything. Unfortunately.

    Something vague doubts torment me whether he will manage to sit a legal term ... The authorities are at least eight buckets, but his health really depends on medicine pushed into a bad hole - but there, as in a bathhouse, everyone is equal. Attempts to turn into hospital hospitals and exhibitions - a confirmation of insanity.

    Vladimir Putin is the only leader whom the people have elected! (Yeltsin doesn’t count, since the fraud in the 1996 elections was not disputed ... But earlier in the USSR and Russia (pre-revolutionary) people perceived central authority as a fact (non-alternative).

      Perhaps this lack of alternatives just brought to the revolution in 1917 and to the counter-revolution in 1991. The presence of political competition (alternative) is one of the "pillars" of state stability ...
