Putin tightens his grip

Chris Riddell on Russia's hardline foreign policy

Putin and Putinism

Иллюстрация. Марк Шагал. Революция. 1937г.
Одной из предпосылок крымского кризиса культуролог Александр Эткинд считает попустительство мировой общественности. Он снимает с населения России ответственность за перемены последних двух десятилетий и настаивает на том, что никаким "национальным характером" возникновение "путинизма" объяснить нельзя. Статью Эткинда публикует Neue Zürcher Zeitung.
"Самое трагичное" в крымском кризисе то, что его "можно было предвидеть", - пишет Эткинд. Мировая общественность знала об установившейся на Украине и в России системе, при которой "постсоветские элиты выкачивают из собственных стран деньги и прячут их в западных налоговых оазисах", но, поскольку эта система является "источником прибыли и влияния для банков, предприятий и адвокатов по всей Европе", на проблему закрывали глаза и забеспокоились только сейчас.
"В воинственной реакции Путина на свершившуюся на Майдане украинскую революцию проявляется боязнь, что "революционная чума" охватит центральные площади Москвы. Революция уже у ворот столицы, и модель Майдана, разумеется, пугает всех обитателей правительственных кабинетов вокруг Красной площади. Я лично думаю, что их страх обоснован - России предстоят радикальные перемены, - пишет Эткинд. - То, что мы наблюдаем, есть превентивная контрреволюция".
