Expert: Putin only protects the interests of officials and oligarchs

15

On some features of those taking place in Russia political reform is written by South Korean journalist Kim Sang Jin on the Joins website.

In his opinion, Russian President Vladimir Putin, who visited the Main Temple of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation just before the vote on amendments to the Constitution, was looking for significant supports in his future mission.



Putin lost his brother during World War II. In addition, his father, who participated in the battles, was seriously injured. Nostalgia for the “great Soviet era” based on such victims was deeply rooted in Russia.

– noted in the publication.

According to him, "Putin was looking for a symbolic place to emphasize that the new constitution strengthens national unity based on the conservative values ​​of patriotism and traditions." For the same reason, one of the constitutional amendments says that Russia is a great power, a successor to the Soviet Union.

Later, more than 78% of the vote was cast on the 1st of this month for amendments. With the amended Constitution, Putin's term of office, which was supposed to end by 2024, could be extended to 2036.

Recalling that his age has already reached 68 years, that is, the average life expectancy of a Russian, we can say without exaggeration that we will talk about "lifelong rule". The era of Emperor Putin has just begun

- emphasizes the journalist.

He recalls that according to the Japanese newspaper Nippon Gaizai Shimbun, there are a number of stakeholders who have given rise to this Constitution. This is a coalition of people who do not want Putin’s resignation, and such an alliance consists of senior officials, military and oligarchs. To protect their interests, the "emperor" must be in place.

The author notes that in the Russian Federation there is a quite tangible personality cult of Vladimir Putin, which is instilled by the highest officials. The head of state is a key authority in the affairs of the army, religion, as well as a central figure on guard of “conservative and reactionary” values. Western individualism and consumer culture are criticized.

What is the next step of the “emperor", who did not have a single opponent in Russia? The journalist suggests that Putin may wish to conduct an analogue of the 1945 Yalta Conference, but now, in the XNUMXst century. Meetings of leaders of great powers, which would confirm the establishment of a new world order.

Theoretically, the author believes, Putin has such a chance. However, much will depend on who wins the November presidential election, Donald Trump or Joe Biden.

    "Expert" reads American newspapers and draws conclusions about the state of Russia on their basis. There are a couple of such experts on every couch (for tolerance!).
    No, never the inhabitants of American Bantustans will not accept the humiliation of the existence of free people. It means they are humiliated, fawning at every American sergeant, and the Russians, the Chinese send their master? Are they smarter than us? "Abidna, however".

    Expert: Putin only protects the interests of officials and oligarchs

    This is evident even without experts - the people are impoverished, and the number of Putin's billionaires is growing. During the pandemic

    the number of dollar billionaires in Russia increased from 99 to 101 people, and the fortune of five of them increased by $ 22,6 billion, to $ 109,5 billion.

    (according to Forbes).

      and $ 22,6 billion, to $ 109,5 billion "(c) (according to Forbes).

      From jealousy you count billions wrong. Billions in stocks are ghostly billions. In the 2008 crisis, Bill Gates lost 7 billion in a day. Do you imagine this in such a way that dollars were taken out by dump trucks all night from the owner of Windows? And the next day he won back 5 billion, so he returned the train of bills?
      The indicated growth by you is only the growth of stock quotes on the stock exchange. And one share can cost a million and nothing. Due to jumps in quotes, they either get poorer by 100 million, or get rich by 200. Sometimes several times a day.
      And cash - these billionaires sit on loans to their ears.

          He shook hands with Putin - if you please to part with billions. For "Putin's friend" is a criminal sentence with confiscation of property.
          And yachts and more ... I know one who in 1994 exchanged 9 shares of NLMK for one share of MMM. And that, too - palaces and yachts?
          Kakha Bendukidze, not being a Russian, exchanged vouchers for vodka, and then brought a whole dump truck to the factory’s gate. And Uralmash with 40 thousand workers became his. After 5 years, 8 thousand workers remained.
          So, you need to learn to make acquaintances, work well to become a cleaner in the main office of Gazprom. And not to fuss about the public domain, just as a Honduran beggar nudges about your salary - why not share with the poor Hondurans?

            And not to whine about the public domain

            Yeah, we need to put such smart people on the neck, and so that they work for uncle. Save your advice when everything starts to burn - and then you will share them.

              it’s necessary to turn the neck of such clever ones so that they work for uncle

              And sits a lot on your neck? Do you turn drill columns in Neryungri on a polar night? Or sit in a warm apartment, but from work - they sent - went, called, - came?
              Once I came up with an aphorism: The better a person lives, the more burning is the suspicion that they have missed something ...

                Uncle, I've worked my way. "Thank you" to this state for disability. They don't let their legs stretch out from hunger, but they constantly clean their pockets. It seems that when you are in the same position as me, you will not thank him either.

                  And I quit working for "uncle" back in 1993. As they stopped paying their salaries, they quit. Now the pensioner, however, having rummaged in the work book, was surprised - there is still 20 years of experience! fellow

                    I still do not perceive this system, and these "democrats". Back in 92 I realized that he (they) are.

        I feel sorry for them, poor things? ..

        Billions in stocks are ghostly billions.

        Since when have stocks / production / real estate become ghostly? But, in general, I guess - when there is nothing to say, then they carry all garbage, maybe a ride.
        Change the training manual.

          Do you still keep MMM and Khoper-invest shares? People invested 40-100 thousand apiece.
          Stocks are worth something when you buy them. As soon as you start selling, they fall in price.
