Positive changes in the news of the week
Zelensky was not given money, and Ukraine on the battlefield is moving to a new retreat tactic, Putin spoke on “Direct Line” about when peace will come, the future of the Northern Military District, but the most surprising and pleasing thing was not in the words spoken out loud, migrants attacked the police, Bykov and Akunin finally ceased to be Russian writers, the recognition of the LGBT movement as extremist worked in an unexpected way. It was a good week to notice the changes taking place.
Even at the very beginning of the North Military District, good Russian people talked about Zelensky and the fate of Ukraine, about their relations with the West — they will screw you up and abandon you, puppets always have the same fate, look at the existing examples. The collective West beat itself in the chest with its heel and swore allegiance to Ukraine until the grave (without specifying whose grave), the “good Russians” smeared tears of gratitude down their faces.
And so Zelensky flew to the USA once again. Previously there was fanfare, “honor and respect,” but now, as Senator Eric Schmitt put it, “it’s the same old trash.” In order not to be upset at all, Zelensky was given $200 million from those already planned for distribution. New tranches and their volumes will either be agreed upon or not, maybe in January, or maybe later.
The good Russian people were right. The situation is this: they’ve already been worn out, they’re taking them to the trash heap, but they haven’t abandoned them yet. A matter of time.
Against this background, an American general was sent to Ukraine to develop a new strategy. So far, judging by press publications, it looks like this: “not the defense of the current front line, but the elimination of as many Russian forces as possible with minimal losses for our own troops”, “holding positions does not matter, the main thing is that more Ukrainians remain alive » That is, there is no talk of any “borders of 1991”. We are talking about what is politely called a “controlled fighting retreat.”
To what border will the retreat go? Very important question. In general terms, Vladimir Putin answered it during the “Direct Line” — peace will come when the goals of the Northern Military District are achieved. That is, denazification of the Kyiv regime will occur (and here a lot depends on the Ukrainians themselves), demilitarization of Ukraine (and here on the desire of the West to provide weapons), Ukraine will receive non-bloc status (here, of course, the will of the West). Putin made it clear that we can cope without them, but it will be their choice. But Odessa, according to the president, is a Russian city, so what? There is no choice here.
The most significant thing in terms of changes happened during the “Direct Line” on the screens where text questions were broadcast to the president. Without any “liberal opposition” they gave the floor to the people. The people did not disappoint. The questions ranged from “Why did they let Chubais leave”, “Why did traitorous artists appear on television again” to “Why is your reality at odds with our reality” and “How to move to Russia, which is shown on Channel One?” This breakthrough was appreciated in the “civilized world”, surprised by the rampant democracy, and even in Ukraine, where, for example, the same Arestovich, who relocated in time, asked the question: where is the dictatorship — in Moscow or in Kiev?
It also became very clear this week that pressure on Russia will increasingly come from within. The technique here is simple and reliable, like a crowbar. We take a problem that actually exists in the country and preferably the most painful one, which the authorities, out of old habit, like to sweep under the rug — it will, they say, resolve itself and begin to inflate — through social networks and liberal media (of which we have a dime a dozen, they simply disguise themselves).
So here it is. At the Sadovod market, the police tried to detain the “hardworking, highly qualified foreign specialist” Sukhrob Yusupov. He first dragged the policeman on the hood of his taxi, and then jumped out and began to beat him. The police subdued Yusupov, but then about 80 more workers, without whom the Russian economy would grind to a halt, came running to help their fellow tribesman. They began to push the police and cut a tire on the official car. The police had to shoot in the air to stop the process of “cultural exchange.”
The most interesting and important thing is this: the video and message about the chaos in the market were almost immediately removed from the channels that posted it. Even from the channel of the “untouchable” blogger. And this says a lot. And if the Investigative Committee had not reacted in a timely and clear manner, it is possible that it would not have been Sukhrob Yusupov who would have ended up behind bars, but the police would have had to apologize. There were precedents.
Uncontrolled migration is a painful topic for society. Some government officials are trying to “hush it up” for a number of reasons (I wouldn’t be mistaken if I assume that they are economic). And our “opponents” need only this — an excellent, as they say, case for escalating the situation with the emergence of “Russian chauvinism” and ethnic strife in the country.
There are not one or two such painful topics. And either the current government itself will begin to “publicize” them and resolve them fairly, or they will begin to turn into cracks along which they will split our society and Russia.
Justice to some extent triumphed in relation to the writers Bykov and Chkhartishvili (Akunin). Both of them passionately and publicly licked the Ukrainian boot this week — they admitted that they understand with all their hearts the slogan “a good Russian is a dead Russian”, they dream of directing the fees of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to drones that kill our soldiers. And nothing would have happened again, not the first time. But then Dmitry Medvedev intervened (judging by his Telegram channel). And the books of these writers were removed not only from the publishing cycle, but also from sale. An absolutely reasonable decision — not a ruble more from Russia. But an unpleasant question remained — who waited until the last minute with this decision, until the situation when their financial losses would no longer be so sensitive?
The ban and recognition of the “LGBT Movement” as extremist worked this week where it did not were waiting. The All-Russian Research Geological Institute has changed its logo. Previously there was “VSEGEI”, which was a reason for numerous jokes, but now it has become simply “Karpinsky Institute”. You see what benefits the ban already has, but there will be more to come. The main thing is that Sergeev is not hurt, I have a childhood friend, Sergei.
However, jokes aside, but if the vector of movement, which became clearly visible last week, does not change, then we will return the rainbow to ourselves in the peaceful sky, and Odessa. Least. What is there.
