«Infidelity
is like death - it does not know nuances».
(Dolphin Girardin)
This
saying is
known
in the West - «In
Russia
-
entire mystery, and no secrets».
On that which stands for that urgently organized «live
interaction» of Putin with
people»,
Russian Mass-Media
described
already next day.
On our information, writes correspondent of
«Arguments
and facts»,
A.Uglanov, after the christmas amusements of the families of
Putin
and Blairs in England were passed serious conversations. Their basic motive
-
offence to the behavior of the American President, their common «friend»
G.Bush.
By his
sharp statement about the exit
from the agreement on Anti-Ballistic
Missile Treaty,
he
put
V.Putin
not
in
very adroit position. The fact is that during the foregoing encounters with Bush,
it
was obvious, but Americans had to make this more delicately,
in order not to excite public opinion in Russia.
Putin
was offended,
also, for the fact that from the side of the West in the address of Russia
continues to flow a flow of very unpleasant words, and a question of the
entrance in WTO
(World Trade Organization)
and the issue
of Soviet debts, admittance of Russia into
the world markets for weapon, steel, textile, etc
so
is continued to hover.
With
full
speed occurs the study of project on padding of gas
pipeline from
Turkmenia through Afghanistan to the Arabian Sea. The Kazakhs did a favor
moreover, after signing anti-Russian agreement with Americans. They
were friends with Russians,
you understand, and
it is here on you. Kazakh President Nursultan
Nazarbayev, accurately to 10th anniversaries of the collapse of USSR,
prepared surprise for Russia, on top of that what else: this agreement
provides
for the building of the conduit, which through Georgia and Turkey will connect
Kazakhstan with western markets. Russia severely was counted, hoping, that all
energy questions of region were related with it.
-
Logic
in this was: project of CPC (Caspian Pipeline Consortium), building of which was
finished in this year, it actually guaranteed the delivery of petroleum products
from the layers of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan into the Novorossisk port
precisely through the conduit, which Russia controlled. And this is correct: who
has the pipe, he has the authority, and, therefore, political influence in the
region. It
is now easily
possible to forecast that in such a situation, on top of that and in connection
with tansport of
Turkmen
gas for the western markets, the prices of the petroleum products and gas
sharply will be lowered. But this deadly will strike the economic position of
Russia, writes site «pravda.ru».
But
here already Ankara
and Tbilisi signed the agreement, according to which Turkish military aircraft
will be positioned in Georgia on the airfield in Marneul. About this reports
source close to Kremlin «strana.ru». Turkey modernized military airfield in
Marneul on the money of USA under the standards of NATO in year 2001. It can
accommodate any type of aircrafts, including fighter aviation and heavy bombers.
With the introduction of this object is opened direct possibility for
positioning of the military bases OF NATO in Trans-Caucasus. Being located in
immediate proximity of the borders of Armenia, in the opinion of the official
representatives of Yerevan, the airfield presents the threat of safety of this
country. In turn for Armenia, which is the ally of Russia and participant in the
agreement about collective security,
the
bases OF NATO can present threat, which are intended to unroll Turkey and USA in
the Apsheronsk peninsula. Baku and Ankara plan to sign the agreements, analogous
to Georgian-Turkish, in year 2002, when sanctions on supply of armaments into
Azerbaijan and Armenia are withdrawn from the side of USA and international
association.
Now
already it is completely obvious that USA will not leave from Central Asia under
no circumstances. Tajiks
already asked for
withdrawal of
Russian servicemen, if they do not desire to pay for the lease of base, as do
Americans.
Now airfields in Kulyab, Khanabad and Kyrgyz
airport «Manas»
will be also brought into correspondence with the standards of
NATO. Thus, Russia
wants
this, or not, it will be surrounded from all sides by the military bases of
USA and their allies.
All this taken
together,
alright,
hardly will add
to
popularities of
Putin
at home. Already too frequently in the recent months in Moscow spoke about the
sincere friendship with USA. But the result of this friendship is not obvious.
The question willy-nilly arises:
why
then does
Putin travel
to
foreign countries and call
G.
Bush and T. Blair as
his
friends?
It is likely,
V. Putin already perceives this problem, and in the recent days undertook
completely noticeable actions at different levels. The
first
such
action
became friendly dinner with governors, which took place after the Gossoviet
about the problems of small business. Dinner continued almost 4 hours, for the
health of the President pronounced toasts and
Tula
governor-communist Starodubtsev and President of
Tatarstan
Shaymiyev. And this, as if greatly moved governors.
But more scale action on the maintenance of the falling authority was
held
on Monday. Putin
interacted
with people, avoiding ministers and governors. Appearance on the screens of
virtual Putin,
briskly pronouncing
previously learned answers to the previously prepared questions,
it had
to attest that the matters in Russia were not too poor. But alas, words of
Putin
did not reflect, yes even we could not reflect the real position of the matters
in the country.
Ulyanov’s
people,
for example, with
interest followed direct line with the President of Russia. They learned from
the answers of the head of state, that now in the economy of Russia is observed
the lift, and the fuel reserves in the country are sufficient. But
people
compare economic indices here with the indices of thermometer in our own
apartments. City freezes. Schools with no heat system are shut, in the face of
closing kindergartens; people lie down to sleep in the clothing. In order to
telephone to the President on direct line, many had to breathe on the palm.
Recently the mayor of Ulyanovsk stated that the position with the heat system in
the city is worse than it was in the past year in winter in the Primorye.
Certainly, not one question of Ulyanovsk regarding heating of city was
broadcasted. True, residents of Ulyanovsk heard the story of boy from under
Irkutsk. Because the school is not heated, it was shut, and he fears to remain
for the second year. So Ulyanovsk people learned, that the schools are shut not
only in their region. And this happens in
the country, which has enormous fuel reserves!
Reason is banal
-
there is no money in the country. The best friend Bush gives
nothing,
but vice versa everything is done in order to aggravate the
situation.
The oil and gas pipelines of Russia resembles trishkin caftan
-
equipment worn to the limit. For the implementation of only
one
federal program by the name of
«Nedra
Yamala»
on
the output of gas condensate in Urengoye
is necessary up
to
$100 billions.
A question in that, where to take them.
Here
in Russia will not be heat to the nearest prospect, although during
«direct
communication
with his
people»,
the
President speaks, as if everything at the higher level.
