Unbending Putin oppresses his line

After the next “Direct Line with Vladimir Putin”, it became clear again that despite all the talk about digital the economydevelopment of information of technologies in the communication between the citizen and the authorities, and numerous reforms and restructures in the system of this very government, as well as the constant actual increase in the bureaucracy, the administration of the largest country on the planet called Russia, in fact, is still carried out personally by the president in the so-called “manual mode” .





The whole process somehow suddenly reminded me of a picture known in the Soviet school curriculum in the style of socialist realism “Walkers by Lenin” or even even older things, such as, for example, a petition to the tsar — ​​the form of submitting an individual or group request to the sovereign of the time, adopted in Russia at that time. or another issue, with the goal of “making a decision”. In principle, everything is exactly the same and still works, only additional new communication and communication options have been added - telephone, television, Internet, etc. - the essence remains the same: the main person in the country makes a personal decision on a particular issue.

It seems that in no other developed country in the world does anything like this exist. Yes, there is some kind of anachronism in this, a reference to the distant past, and somehow even in the opinion of many, it seems to be indecent for the modern state ... In addition, for the authorities themselves, both at the top and in the localities, in spite of all the preliminarily conducted events and preparations, what is happening on the air is sometimes not hospitable and even dangerous - after all, the situations that open often often show the fact of the apparent inoperability or flagrant negligence of the huge Russian state-bureaucratic apparatus. And in the literal sense of the word blush and justify in such cases, so to speak with all honest people, the president personally has to.

But if you look on the other hand, what’s wrong is that the highest person in the hierarchy of power and, according to many, the most powerful person in the world, communicates directly with his people and, yes, in “manual mode”, solves specific pressing problems of specific people? We often hear phrases that Russia has its own path of existence and development, which differs from both Western and Eastern cultures precisely because our country is located just in the middle between them. Maybe this is one of our own elements of existence?

After all, our people have long lived in a faith in a just king, people sincerely believed in supreme power and explained the problems on the ground precisely with the fact that “the king does not know about them,” and the local fraudulent officials keep silent about all this, and they sent walkers with petitious ... but it actually actually more often than it was, and indeed is to this day. This is me, again, not to the point that V.V. Putin is a tsar, he simply has a plus / minus position in the state, and the people who believe in the power of a particular person and the thieving officials in Russia also have been and have remained. By the way, the fact that the Russian president, in addition to participating in the notorious “direct line”, often communicates with people in other formats, and personally visits the places of various events, is one of the important factors of its really real and absolutely stunning popularity among the vast majority of the population of Russia , and not only. The results of the presidential election speak for themselves. Although some people threw some information about some fraud, manipulations in the voting process, and so on, the level of people's trust in the personality of the President of the Russian Federation is really huge, and it is simply impossible to manipulate or manipulate to such an extent and to such an extent.

Yes, Russia always needed a strong and self-confident leader, and the Russian people should always see and believe it with their own eyes. Yes, despite all the digital and innovative revolutions in our country, “manual control” still works best in our country, but if that’s the only way it works, then what’s bad and shameful if you get a positive result? Yes, Putin personally goes to the cosmodrome under construction, to the Crimean bridge, to the pipeline, to the plant, and so on and so forth ... And there he praises and rewards or reports and punishes ... The prime minister or vice prime minister personally meets with industry experts on the issue of fuel prices, for example, “taxing” it again “manually” and again by personal order of the president. And it works like that. It works contrary to the so-called laws of the so-called market, which today has a rather perverted-politicized form.

And what would happen to our country, for example, in the case of not presidential, but parliamentary rule, you can watch in miniature at numerous television debates, where representatives of various political parties and movements - noise, din, throwing from one extreme to another or "pouring from empty to empty", in the final everyone argued, gagged and parted with zero result. These TV shows are a mirror of the parliament's independent work, if given free rein. And with real officials it is better not to arrange such a thing on public display, otherwise it may end very badly ... Everyone remembers the so-called "liberal line of development" since the nineties of the last century and I hope that no one in his right mind wants to repeat it. A "straight line" - a task, an answer and, as a rule, an instant solution - is a mirror of the President's "manual control" system. Well, why criticize this? ...

In the West this is not? .. Well, let it be. There are many things that we like and vice versa. People are different, the mentality is different, everything is generally arranged differently and does not work like that. We must act in the way that we get and have an effect. Yes, of course, there is no way to help all those in need and all the problems can’t be solved by a “straight line,” but even if something somewhere really changes for the better, in one rural school, with one god-forgotten hospital, on one broken road or in one family, it's already worth it. But in reality, after each such television show, dozens or even hundreds of such problems are solved. And this is good, this is progress. Yes, ours, that's so strange, in "manual control" ...

And Russia at the same time is clearly gaining strength and becoming an increasingly powerful and increasingly respected power, no matter what they say. After the collapse of the USSR and before the advent of Putin and his methods, our country was “market, liberal and democratic,” as a result, it simply fell apart and almost ceased to exist. So we need exactly this, “manual control”. Yes, even the foot or pedal, the main thing is to really work, but if it works, then there is nothing to blame for it or to be ashamed of it, while no one has invented anything new and more effective for Russia ...
