I have read reasoning Americans about the legality and illegality of the annexation of Crimea by Russia, on the basis of ethnic arguments on this forum. And I felt very funny. Apparently, Americans are not imagine what is actually going on in our country and where grow the ears of the Russian foreign policy.
The capture of new territories in the ancient world helped strengthen the state: the Treasury has been enriched by the collection of tribute from a larger number of people, was purchased new in natural and human resources. Today new territories can only become an additional burden for a normal civilized countries, today - other incentives to increase the might of the state. So the annexation of the Crimea does not give useful acquirement to Russia. Note that Russia is not used today about 80% of its territory - the land not developed or not abandoned. There is a huge space in Siberia, where nobody lives.
Putin put forward protection of living there ethnic Russians as an official reason for the annexation of Crimea. People who know Putin, will tell You that this is nonsense. When the Soviet Union collapsed, many ethnic Russians remained on the territory of former allied republics. And they began to be persecution and harassment there. Putin weren't interested and he throwed them all to the mercy of fate. Why such care for the Russians in the Crimea?
To understand the true cause of action Putin should think in a completely different aspect. In fact, the ethnic issue was for him a convenient occasion to avenge Ukrainians for exit from the zone of political influence. Contrived pretext of the help to the Russians found much support among nationalist fanatics who initiated a hysterical slogans significant portion of the Russian population. Now Putin is fiercely fighting for the return to the zone of their personal influence of the Eastern regions of Ukraine. There, his happiness, too many ethnic Russians, and the slogan of defending their interests, too, can work.
It turns out that our leader is thinking in terms of the ancient times and they are driven by their own political ambitions. The country while perfectly obedient him. Americans certain there will be very surprised and asked how it was possible that in Russia everything is defined by the interests of the people, only the ambitions of one leader? There are elections, there are political parties, the Parliament, there is a lot of media. Where such unanimous obedience of the whole country one person, actually - dictator?
Putin appeared on political stage from behind the democratically elected President Yeltsin. He immediately became famous restore «order» in the North Caucasus. The essence of his actions resulted in the fact that he has concentrated troops and intelligence services from all over Russia on this small area, was shot and broke up all of the opposition and delivered as leaders of the region loyal to him personally dictators stooges. The people of Russia are very glad he did, because stopped reports of discontent and terrorism in the North Caucasus. Putin was seen as a hero-Scorcher savages-Caucasians. I want to draw attention to the fact that the methods of this person from the very beginning had nothing in common with contemporary democracy and civilization.
But set mode of a police state in Russia immediately was not easy. He had to act slowly. Putin began methodically to dominate the political space of the country, with the help of the state apparatus. His method: stir on political rival groups of investigators and FSB (Federal security service) to collect compromising materials and fabrication of a criminal case. Then political opponent disappeared in prison on criminal charges, because the FSB investigators, prosecutors and judges have tried very hard to please the chief captain. So was put in prison Khodorkovsky, were drove Gusinsky and Berezovsky, now trying to put in prison Navalny.
Civil society in Russia is traditionally very weak (70 years meekly endured the power of the Communists), but it was for a dictator Putin some threat. The most popular democratic leaders took killers, other Putin bought a good post. For example, Starovoitova and Yushenkov were killed, Rogozin is now Vice-President, and Glaziev - Advisor to the President. For the rest Putin has found a clever solution: he seized control of the main media. Now there is only one political opinion of the dictator Putin in the TV, is a massive brainwashing the population. Therefore, the people called TV «zombie-box».
For the certain time remained freedom to receive information via the Internet. Now Putin began introducing censorship: closed «Daily journal», newspaper Kasparov, the website of Navalny and other. Smaller freedom remains in social networks where people can complain and share ideas. But Putin found a cynical decision and here too: has ordered special services to fix active bloggers and filled Internet aggressive hordes specially hired FSB «trolls», massively attacking forums and groups in social networks.
Monopoly on political information now allows Putin to manipulate mass consciousness. All elections are brainwashed the people to elect only the need for him people who obediently embedded in the constructed by him bureaucratic «vertical of power». Putin uses administrative methods dictator Joseph Stalin, only more cleverly and subtly. In the country there are several political parties, but the cunning spider Putin so they wrapped their web, they almost don't move, only imitate political activity, actually humbly accepting the decisions of the dictator. Recently, for example, our Parliament has unanimously approved the introduction of Russian troops in the Crimea. Formally, the country has democracy, but in reality it almost nothing left. Putin has turned Russia into aggressive managed flock.
Over time the nature of Putin's increasingly losing the features of a normal person and is acquiring the face of a cruel dictator. Russian doctors unofficially suspect his growing paranoia. It is clear that the real information about mental illness dictator no report no will. It is symbolic that a wife left him recently. Close relatives feel the negative changes in personality firstly.
Today Putin has enslave Russian society and seeks to impose its will on the world community. Now he feels enough power and confidence, so cynically ignore the opinion of the rest of mankind. The Putin regime as a political pathology, moved into the open phase of its development, which faces the world with progressive scale destructive catastrophes. This fact puts Putin in one row with such odious destructive personalities, like Hitler, Poll Pot, Gaddafi and bin Laden. It is obvious that the world should develop against him traditional antidictatorship counteractive measures, before he has time to mess things up even more trouble.
