One of the amazing problems of our mass public consciousness is the problem of a complex lunch, which has not yet been eliminated. This is when, if you like borscht, you cannot refuse jelly. (We voted for the Constitution according to this scheme, if you remember.) Therefore, as soon as a person declares his support for Putin, he immediately turns out to be a supporter of the war with Ukraine and the retrograde. And vice versa – if a person does not support Putin, then he is against Russia, a foreign agent and, most likely, sodomites.
It was quite possible to practice finding the middle path last week.
Why it took so long to identify our interests in the post-Soviet space is a separate, large and complex question. But, nevertheless, thank God, Putin finally said clearly and distinctly: this is all, what used to be the Soviet Union (with the exception of the Baltic States, he briefly let it slip at a press conference about 12 republics), this is ours, don’t fuss … You will get a donut hole, not Ukraine into NATO. And confirmed with a salvo launch of Zircon missiles.
But if on the outer track – you can’t get enough of it, then on the inner track – not everything is so simple.
Vladimir Vladimirovich not only speaks, but also congratulates everyone on the record in Russia in terms of housing commissioning. But for some reason, the next day the numbers appear: in 2021, there are no regions left in Russia where the average term of a newly taken mortgage is less than 18 years. And in 2022 the term of the average mortgage loan will reach 23 years – almost a third of the average life expectancy of Russians. And this is a consequence of the rise in prices for housing in the absence of growth in incomes of citizens. Although, logically, the more housing there is, the cheaper it should be.

Vladimir Vladimirovich did not answer the question of whether the state would pay under the guarantees that were given against the loans attracted by Rusnano (Chubais). There, the bosses made very good money, fled, and the company found itself in debt as if in silks. First Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov later answered instead of Putin. He said that Rusnano will be supported by the government – according to him, the authorities have already drawn up a concrete plan for resolving the current situation. That is, the budget (you and I) simply paid for the enrichment of a handful of people again.
But these are questions of the scale of the country.
But why exactly should Putin solve the problem of supporting the creators of unique exoskeletons near Volgograd? This is a cool thing, thanks to which the girl, who could not hold a spoon, became the Paralympic swimming champion. Is it Putin who heads the Ministry of Health in our country?
Why is Vladimir Vladimirovich’s intervention necessary to launch trains from Yoshkar-Ola not only to Moscow, but also to other cities? After all, literally in a couple of days it was decided to start the trains – no junction had to be built, it was only necessary to listen and satisfy the needs of people.
Why is the president’s intervention needed to eliminate the accident at the TPP-1 in Ulan-Ude? Yes, major accident, serious situation. But the authorities of Buryatia are not able to cope on their own? What does Putin have to do with it?
But without such management surrealism begins in general. In Kuzbass, after a terrible accident, it was decided, as part of the struggle for security, to introduce … the oath of a miner. Right in the presence of working comrades, the miner will swear to be worthy of the profession, strive to create the safest working conditions in the workplace, not to allow accidents and accidents to be hidden, and so on. This, according to local authorities, will increase the responsibility of miners. Well, now the explosions in mines due to the actions of their owners will stop?
Diana Kaledina, an entrepreneur, was detained in Moscow this week. She once founded a company that, as they say, stood at the origins of the revival of the domestic machine tool industry. After the arrest with the revival, much became clear – Kaledin is suspected of supplying defense enterprises with Chinese machines under the guise of Russian ones, and even at an inflated cost.
Another company has boasted that it has released new small, unique drones for surveying hard-to-reach places – for example, bridges, nuclear power plants or launch pads for space rockets. Breakthrough and innovation! But only on the most famous Chinese trading site, exactly the same ones are sold for about 4 thousand rubles.
This is where the common man should go? On the one hand, manual oligarchic capitalism, on the other, NATO is advancing. Of course, under such conditions, a complex lunch is easier. It’s just that I’m already sick …
