Could This (Finally!) be the End for the Pro-Western Liberals in the Russian Government? Putin's Appointments Will Tell

By now we all have heard the news , the entire Russian government has resigned and a new Prime Minister , Mikhail Mishustin , has been appointed .
And we also know that the Internet has exploded with all sorts of speculations about what this all could mean .
Alas , until we know who will be included in the new government , there is very little we can really say .
I mean , yes , in theory , we could hold out breath and expect Glaziev will be appointed to a top position in the so-called “ economic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how do we know that it will not be Kudrin instead ?
!
One thing we do know for sure is what Putin announced in his speech .
You can read the here for yourself , but here are two things I want to single out : • Putin has announced a major effort to deal with the ( still appalling ) poverty suffered by many Russians • Putin has announced a major effort to truly re-sovereignize Russia In the first case , Putin has proposed a number of major government programs to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ still live in including a much beefed up maternity capital ( which will also deal with the demographic issue ) , reduced mortgage rates , free healthy hot meals in schools , etc .
In the second case , Putin announced the following : At the very least , this is a very good sign .
As I have suggested many times , the slogan of “ restore full sovereignty ” can be a battle cry for both Russian and US American patriots .
And we also all know who will be absolutely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sovereignty ” , don ’ t we ?
I feel like I have to caution everybody and remind you all that the problem in Russia ( and in the US ) is not so much one of personalities , but one of a bad system first and foremost .
I won ’ t touch upon the US side of this problem , but let me quickly spell out what has happened in Russia over the past decades .
Today ’ s Russia is a product of several factors : • The unreformable Soviet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a “ cake ” of sorts for the Soviet “ Nomenklatura ” which , when it realized that it would lose control of the country , decided to break up the Soviet Union into 15 different countries ( including quite a few totally fictional ones ) and re-branded itself from “ defenders of the Party and the USSR ” into “ fervent nationalists ” .
That was just about as fake a rebranding as ever but there was nothing the majority of the people ( who wanted to maintained the Soviet Union ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ came the horrors of the 1990s during which Russia ( and the rest of the newly minted republics ) were drowned into an orgy of lawlessness , violence , corruption and total , absolute , subservience to the AngloZionist Empire .
• Finally , during the 2000s we saw a period of shared power between the Atlantic Integrationists lead by Medvedev and the Eurasian Sovereignist lead by Putin .
This was an uneasy partnership in which the Atlantic Integrationists were in control of the “ economic block ” while the Eurasian Sovereignists were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and defense .
As their name suggests , the Atlantic Integrationists want to integrate Russian ( and themselves ! )
into the AngloZionist sphere of control while the Eurasian Sovereignists want a truly sovereign Russia .
Now just imagine what that first group felt when they heard Putin declare : I suggest formalizing at the constitutional level the obligatory requirements for those who hold positions of critical significance for national security and sovereignty .
More precisely , the heads of the constituent entities , members of the Federation Council , State Duma deputies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , federal ministers , heads of federal agencies and judges should have no foreign citizenship or residence permit or any other document that allows them to live permanently in a foreign state .
The goal and mission of state service is to serve the people , and those who enter this path must know that by doing this they inseparably connect their lives with Russia and the Russian people without any assumptions and allowances .
Requirements must be even stricter for presidential candidates .
I suggest formalizing a requirement under which presidential candidates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for at least 25 years and no foreign citizenship or residence permit and not only during the election campaign but at any time before it too .
This is clearly a death sentence passed on the supreme hope of the Atlantic Integrationists who from now on won ’ t be able to integrate Russia or even themselves ( by means of passports , bank accounts or real estate ) into the AngloZionist elites .
There is now even a joke running on the Runet ( Russian Internet ) : 13:00 – Путин заявил @ @ @ @ @ @ @ России 16:30 – Правительство в полном составе ушло в отставку translation : 1:00pm – Putin says that civil servants should only have a Russian citizenship 4:30pm – the full Government resigns And while there is an element of hyperbole here , there is also much truth too !
Still , we always need to remember that in Russian history the internal enemy was always much more dangerous to the leader of Russia than any foreign enemies .
In our case , not only will these Atlantic Integrationists resist any and all forms of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be backed by a very powerful and rich Russian political class which make millions by robbing Russia blind in the 1990s , they are also supported by every single western government and the real “ deep state ” leaders of the AngloZionist Empire .
Then there are those in the putatively pro-Russian blogosphere who were quite happy all these past years to see Russia as a western-style social democracy with a very , shall we say , “ liberal ” ( I prefer the word “ capitalist ” as it is both more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they will now also feel threatened by what appears to be a pretty hard turn to the Left , meaning that the Kremlin is finally listening to the will of the people and that turbo-capitalism will now be gradually replaced by a sharp increase in social solidarity .
I look forward to the mental yoga these folks will now have to engage in to pretend to support Putin while , at the same time , being a propaganda outlet for Atlantic Integrationists .
As I also said it many times , Putin is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a very bad system and truly reforming a very bad system is an extremely difficult task .
So while , yes , it IS possible that what will happen next will ( finally ! )
be a purge of all the 5th columnists sitting in the top echelons of power in Russia , this is by no means a done deal and we ought to wait and see what kind of people actually get they key positions in the Russian government and , especially , in the “ economic block ” .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ real Russian patriots were when following a triumphant victory at the elections , Putin basically re-nominated most of the ( very unpopular ) Medvedev government the last time around .
Instead of a purge of the 5th column we had the ugly pension reform debacle .
Some in Russia are already daydreaming about a real , Stalin-style , purge of the political ruling elites .
They even noticed that the new Prime Minister does have a more than tiny resemblance to Lavrentii Beria , Stalin ’ s chief of the secret police , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , there is a resemblance , but the TIMES have totally changed !
For all the western propaganda about Russia being some kind of autocratic/despotic “ Mordor ” , the truth is that Russia is a country of law and that Putin is a President who does act strictly withing the confines of Russian law .
There will be no mass purges , no nightly arrests , no secret executions .
Personally , I am cautiously optimistic .
The language used in Putin ’ s address has all the right words and expressions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ perfectly good sense .
But in the past there were other such Presidential addresses with no less lofty goals , and then the immensely powerful Russian bureaucracy ( yes , that is the non-existing 5th column too ) made sure that these goals would never be reached .
The new Prime Minister has promised that the full list of appointees to the new government will be made public before the 21st .
I suggest that we wait until we have all the fact before making any predictions .

Lavrentii Beria and Mikhail Mishustin
By now we all have heard the news, the entire Russian government has resigned and a new Prime Minister, Mikhail Mishustin, has been appointed. And we also know that the Internet has exploded with all sorts of speculations about what this all could mean.
Alas, until we know who will be included in the new government, there is very little we can really say. I mean, yes, in theory, we could hold out breath and expect Glaziev will be appointed to a top position in the so-called “economic block” of the government, but how do we know that it will not be Kudrin instead?!
We don’t.
One thing we do know for sure is what Putin announced in his speech. You can read the full text here for yourself, but here are two things I want to single out:
Putin has announced a major effort to deal with the (still appalling) poverty suffered by many Russians Putin has announced a major effort to truly re-sovereignize Russia
In the first case, Putin has proposed a number of major government programs to deal with the appalling poverty many Russians still live in including a much beefed up maternity capital (which will also deal with the demographic issue), reduced mortgage rates, free healthy hot meals in schools, etc.
In the second case, Putin announced the following:
“Russia can be and can remain Russia only as a sovereign state. Our nation’s sovereignty must be unconditional. We have done a great deal to achieve this. We restored our state’s unity. We have overcome the situation when certain powers in the government were essentially usurped by oligarch clans. Russia has returned to international politics as a country whose opinion cannot be ignored. ”
and
“I suggest formalizing at the constitutional level the obligatory requirements for those who hold positions of critical significance for national security and sovereignty.”
At the very least, this is a very good sign. As I have suggested many times, the slogan of “restore full sovereignty” can be a battle cry for both Russian and US American patriots. And we also all know who will be absolutely appalled by all this talk of “sovereignty”, don’t we?
And yet.
I feel like I have to caution everybody and remind you all that the problem in Russia (and in the US) is not so much one of personalities, but one of a bad system first and foremost. I won’t touch upon the US side of this problem, but let me quickly spell out what has happened in Russia over the past decades.
Today’s Russia is a product of several factors:
The unreformable Soviet Union of the 1980s which turned into a “cake” of sorts for the Soviet “Nomenklatura” which, when it realized that it would lose control of the country, decided to break up the Soviet Union into 15 different countries (including quite a few totally fictional ones) and re-branded itself from “defenders of the Party and the USSR” into “fervent nationalists”. That was just about as fake a rebranding as ever but there was nothing the majority of the people ( who wanted to maintained the Soviet Union ) could do about it. Then came the horrors of the 1990s during which Russia (and the rest of the newly minted republics) were drowned into an orgy of lawlessness, violence, corruption and total, absolute, subservience to the AngloZionist Empire. Finally, during the 2000s we saw a period of shared power between the Atlantic Integrationists lead by Medvedev and the Eurasian Sovereignist lead by Putin. This was an uneasy partnership in which the Atlantic Integrationists were in control of the “economic block” while the Eurasian Sovereignists were tasked with Russia’s foreign affairs and defense.
As their name suggests, the Atlantic Integrationists want to integrate Russian (and themselves!) into the AngloZionist sphere of control while the Eurasian Sovereignists want a truly sovereign Russia. Now just imagine what that first group felt when they heard Putin declare:
I suggest formalizing at the constitutional level the obligatory requirements for those who hold positions of critical significance for national security and sovereignty. More precisely, the heads of the constituent entities, members of the Federation Council, State Duma deputies, the prime minister and his/her deputies, federal ministers, heads of federal agencies and judges should have no foreign citizenship or residence permit or any other document that allows them to live permanently in a foreign state. The goal and mission of state service is to serve the people, and those who enter this path must know that by doing this they inseparably connect their lives with Russia and the Russian people without any assumptions and allowances.

translation:
1:00pm – Putin says that civil servants should only have a Russian citizenship
4:30pm – the full Government resigns
And while there is an element of hyperbole here, there is also much truth too!
Still, we always need to remember that in Russian history the internal enemy was always much more dangerous to the leader of Russia than any foreign enemies.

Then there are those in the putatively pro-Russian blogosphere who were quite happy all these past years to see Russia as a western-style social democracy with a very, shall we say, “liberal” (I prefer the word “capitalist” as it is both more honest and less ambiguous) economy and they will now also feel threatened by what appears to be a pretty hard turn to the Left, meaning that the Kremlin is finally listening to the will of the people and that turbo-capitalism will now be gradually replaced by a sharp increase in social solidarity. I look forward to the mental yoga these folks will now have to engage in to pretend to support Putin while, at the same time, being a propaganda outlet for Atlantic Integrationists.
As I also said it many times, Putin is a very good man at the head of a very bad system and truly reforming a very bad system is an extremely difficult task.
So while, yes, it IS possible that what will happen next will (finally!) be a purge of all the 5th columnists sitting in the top echelons of power in Russia, this is by no means a done deal and we ought to wait and see what kind of people actually get they key positions in the Russian government and, especially, in the “economic block”.
We should never forget how disappointed the real Russian patriots were when following a triumphant victory at the elections, Putin basically re-nominated most of the (very unpopular) Medvedev government the last time around . Instead of a purge of the 5th column we had the ugly pension reform debacle.

Lavrentii Beria
Okay, yes, there is a resemblance, but the TIMES have totally changed! For all the western propaganda about Russia being some kind of autocratic/despotic “Mordor”, the truth is that Russia is a country of law and that Putin is a President who does act strictly withing the confines of Russian law. There will be no mass purges, no nightly arrests, no secret executions.

russiainsider--2020-01-22--Putin Eliminates the Medvedev Faction From the Kremlin

In law courts , justice must not only be done but be seen to be done .
In politics , too .
The problem with what President Vladimir Putin announced in his Federal Assembly address this week , and what he did immediately after , is that things don ’ t look the way he says they should .
The difference was written on Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev ’ s face .
He thinks Putin has destroyed the political forces of the candidate with the best chance of winning the presidential election of 2024 — himself .
The businessmen and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are acknowledging this realization on the telephone .
An hour after this picture was taken , at a meeting with Putin of the assembled ministers at Government House ( Kremlin term for White House ) , Medvedevannounced : “ as the Government of the Russian Federation we must give the President of this country an opportunity to make all the necessary decisions for this .
Under the circumstances , it would be correct for the entire Government of the Russian Federation to resign in accordance with Article 117 of the Constitution.
” He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was “ correct ” .
The constitutional provision to which Medvedev referred is a notorious relic.Article 117 was created by President Boris Yeltsin after he used the military to crush parliament ’ s opposition in October 1993 .
Several hundred people inside the White House were killed .
The new constitution was voted two months later by the disputable margin of 58 % in a disputable turnout of 54 % .
Article 117 then gave the president the power to block a prime minister ’ s resignation ; veto a vote of no-confidence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ; and the power to decide whether and when to dissolve parliament and hold new elections .
In Putin ’ s speech on Wednesday , he began his proposals for a constitutional amendment with the announcement : “ We have overcome the situation when certain powers in the government were essentially usurped by oligarch clans.
” Usurpation of power by Yeltsin at the expense of the Congress of People ’ s Deputies in 1993 was not explained then , nor since , by the operations of the oligarchs .
They came later .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ continue to be extra-constitutionally powerful today .
The polls show Putin ’ s claim is not believed .
The proposals Putin has announced change the balance of power between the presidency and the parliament .
But they also change the balance of power between the houses of parliament , and also between the central power in Moscow and the regions .
The State Duma , according to Putin , will have the new power to appoint “ the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation , and then all deputy prime ministers and federal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recommendation .
At the same time the President will have to appoint them , so he will have no right to turn down the candidates approved by the Parliament.
” This implies the State Duma will be able to exercise a veto over ministers ’ performance with votes of no-confidence the president can not override .
This is not yet certain .
Also unclear is who would prevail if the president decides to dismiss the government which holds the confidence of parliament .
Putin said he proposes to keep “ the right to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and federal ministers in case of improper execution of duties or due to loss of trust.
” The constitution is silent on the terms , improper execution and loss of trust .
They are powder the president aims to keep dry for himself .
The Kremlin has immediately convened what it calls a “ working group on drafting proposals for amendments to the Constitution ” .
No elected constitutional convention ; no constitutional assembly provided for in Chapter 9 of the present charter ; no principle of representation ; no decision or voting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was hand-picked by the President ’ s staff — “ 75 politicians , legislators , scholars and public figures ” .
The Kremlin has published photographs , but no list of the names yet .
The oligarch class , as Putin calls them , is represented by Alexander Shokhin ( centre picture above , left ) ; the working class – to whom no one refers – is represented by the man seated by the Kremlin next to Shokhin , Mikhail Shmakov , head of the trade union federation .
Noone in uniform @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The military appears to have one seat ; that ’ s occupied by retired Army General Boris Gromov ( above right ) , 76 , now titled “ Chairman of the Brothers in Arms National Veteran Public Organisation ” .
Gromov ’ s political career after the Army rules him out as representing the General Staff or the Defence Ministry .
Putin ’ s proposals create a fork in the balance of power by assigning domestic policy-making , including the budget , to the parliament ’ s appointees to government ; while reserving @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and their budgets , to the executive .
“ The president also exercises direct command over the Armed Forces and the entire law enforcement system .
In this regard , I believe another step is necessary to provide a greater balance between the branches of power .
In this connection , point six : I propose that the president should appoint heads of all security agencies following consultations with the Federation Council.
” This preserves the imbalance – Putin ’ s terminology — let ’ s say concentration of policy-making and enforcement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guards the incumbent president during the transition between now and 2024 , as well as afterwards .
“ I believe , ” said Putin , “ this approach will make the work of security and law enforcement agencies more transparent and accountable to citizens.
” The Russian public opinion polls are very sceptical .
The first test of what this step will mean in practice will be the names of the new ministers of defence , internal affairs , foreign affairs , the Federal Security Service , the intelligence agencies , and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Prosecutor-General and the Investigative Committee .
In the small print of Putin ’ s speech , he proposes to centralize authority even more than the presentby reducing the power of regional authorities to control their prosecutors .
“ I am confident that a greater independence of prosecution agencies from local authorities would be beneficial for citizens regardless of the region , ” Putin said.Public distrust of both federal and regional prosecutors , recorded in the polls , suggests otherwise .
The Putin scheme also creates a competing source of legislative power by expanding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shop ; and by expanding the powers of the Constitutional Court to rule , on the Kremlin ’ s application , against parliament , as well as against regional governors and regional parliaments .
The State Council in its last Kremlin session , December 26 , 2019 .
In his speech on Wednesday Putin proposed to “ cardinally increase the role of governors in decision-making at the federal level .
As you know , back in 2000 the State Council was restored at my initiative , where the heads of all regions participate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Council has proven its high effectiveness ; its working groups provide for the professional , comprehensive and qualified examination of issues that are most important for people and Russia .
I believe it would be appropriate to fix the status and role of the State Council in the Russian Constitution.
” On Thursday he ignored the State Council by appointing a different group to consider the constitutional amendments .
No Russian commentator has published the question , why In theory , Putin is creating more checks and balances than have existed before .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , parties , factions , the military , and classes – Putin ’ s term – are inevitable and natural .
The vote to adopt the proposals will , however , be an all-or-nothing one .
“ I believe it necessary to hold a vote of Russian citizens on the entire package of the proposed amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation .
The final decision must be made only on the basis of its results , ” the president concluded in his speech .
This looks like a referendum , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ambiguous .
The 2008 amendments to the Constitution were adopted , not by referendum but by votes of the State Duma and the Federation Council .
There has been no referendum under the present constitution .
How much of the proposed scheme is a fine distinction of powers without a change in their division ?
Putin told Medvedev at the meeting with the outgoing ministers : Sources in Russian business and government interpret Medvedev ’ s new job as a gold-plated watch — consolation prize for losing the presidential succession race .
Sources @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be the liquidation of the Medvedev faction .
Politically , the rationale is obvious .
Public disapproval of the government ’ s performance , and the stress which the ongoing US war is inflicting on Russia ’ s domestic growth , have been showing a consistent trend .
It is equally clear that the Medvedev faction , and also the pro-American supporters behind Alexei Kudrin at the Accounting Chamber , German Gref at Sberbank , and Anatoly Chubais at the state high-technology conglomerate Rusnano , are the short-term losers of the reorganisation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so obvious .
Sources among them ask why the Kremlin staff calculated that a renovation of the government ministers should be dressed up as a constitutional reform .
These sources suggest that on the sincerity test , Putin ’ s proposals will not be believed for what he says they are .
They add they are encouraged , also hopeful , that he is acting now to restrict the damage that faction-fighting over the succession can do over the next three years .
Liquidating one of the factions has been an option advocated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the other hand , the sources point out that if Putin were sincere in his commitment to enhanced power-sharing with the parliamentary political parties , why sack the present prime minister now , and not wait for the State Duma to vote its approval for the new man under the new rules ?
This is a question which answers itself , most Russians think .
By the war test — how the proposals will affect the regime-change strategy of the US and NATO – the combination of constitutional plans and the replacement of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , in car next to Putin ) is judged to be no gain , no concession to the other side .
Not yet .
That leaves the poll test .
To choose Mishustin to become the prime minister is the biggest surprise of the week , and a curious selection to win public approval.If Gogol were to use the name , he would be tagging its possessor with something like the caricature , “ busy baker ” , since to the Russian ear , the roots of the word suggest someone who makes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ baker ; and who is visibly busy at that work .
Mishustin himself likes to identify his recreation as ice-hockey .
On the rink he plays forward and back , but not goalie .
Left : Mikhail Mishustin makes his nomination speech at the State Duma , his debut as a national political figure .
Watch the speech , which was read from a paper script and lacked direct eye or any other personal contact with the deputies .
They responded to the speech with brief , tepid applause .
Right : Mishustin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ record for Mishustin , records his long technocratic training in computer science and economics ; his PhD was on tax administration.He first started in state tax agency in 1998 .
A 53-year old native of Moscow , Mishustin is reported to be part-Armenian by origin ; his Soviet birth certificate may indicate that at birth one of his parents held Armenian nationality .
If so , he would automatically hold Armenian citizenship .
According to Putin ’ s constitutional proposals , the prime minister and other senior officials may “ have no foreign @ @ @ @ @ @ @ document that allows them to live permanently in a foreign state.
” A protégé of Boris Fyodorov in the Yeltsin-era finance administration , Mishustin spent a brief period , 2008-2010 , working in the Moscow investment banking business of UFG Partners , first established by Fyodorov .
By the time Mishustin arrived , the company was owned by Deutsche Bank and run by Charles Ryan , an American ; Fyodorov died of a stroke a few months into Mishustin ’ s term at UFG .
In April 2010 , Mishustin returned to run @ @ @ @ @ @ @ remained there for a decade .
Tax evasion and embezzlement of value added tax ( VAT ) fill the kompromat records which have been published about Mishustin over this period .
Mishustin told the State Duma yesterday he is in favour of reducing the regulatory burden on Russian business .
The Communist Party faction announced it would abstain from voting to confirm the prime minister because it was impossible to know what policies he stands for .
Suspicion that Mishustin will try to cut social welfare benefits is widespread .
The confirmation vote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ; no one opposed .
For the record of the Duma vote , read this .
One oligarch vote of confidence in Mishustin has been announced .
Vladimir Lisin , head of the Novolipetsk steel and coal-mining group , told a Moscow newspaper : “ We evaluate Mikhail Mishustin ’ s work as head of the Federal Tax Service positively .
Under his leadership , the service increased tax collection , virtually eliminated schemes used by unscrupulous businesses in competition , and reduced the number of on-site inspections several times by introducing a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we had quite difficult debates , we always found a common civilized solution.
” Mishustin has appeared only once before this week in Putin ’ s Kremlin office.That was on November 21 , 2016 , Tax Workers ’ Day .
In their meeting Mishustin ’ s recital of his agency ’ s performance was unexceptional .
Putin said nothing out of the ordinary .
In the Russian photo archive for Mishustin , not one picture shows a smile on his face .
A reluctant grin he managed for his last birthday , March @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Russian Ice Hockey Federation .
Putin has selected factotums before , men whose technical expertise was their asset , along with their lack of political constituency and electoral ambition.Mikhail Fradkov was the first , between 2004 and 2008 ; Victor Zubkov the second , between 2007 and 2008 .
When Putin appointed them , they made no changes to the power ministries .
Mishustin is the third in this line .
If he announces the end of the long terms in office of Sergei Shoigu and Sergei Lavrov , and General Valery Gerasimov @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then Putin is deciding much more than he has admitted so far .

In law courts, justice must not only be done but be seen to be done. In politics, too.
The problem with what President Vladimir Putin announced in his Federal Assembly address this week, and what he did immediately after, is that things don’t look the way he says they should.
The difference was written on Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev’s face. He thinks Putin has destroyed the political forces of the candidate with the best chance of winning the presidential election of 2024 — himself. The businessmen and government officials who have depended on Medvedev are acknowledging this realization on the telephone.

Under the circumstances, it would be correct for the entire Government of the Russian Federation to resign in accordance with Article 117 of the Constitution.”
He looked and sounded unconvinced that his exit was “correct”.
The constitutional provision to which Medvedev referred is a notorious relic.Article 117 was created by President Boris Yeltsin after he used the military to crush parliament’s opposition in October 1993. Several hundred people inside the White House were killed.

They came later. In Russian public opinion, the oligarchs continue to be extra-constitutionally powerful today. The polls show Putin’s claim is not believed.
The proposals Putin has announced change the balance of power between the presidency and the parliament. But they also change the balance of power between the houses of parliament, and also between the central power in Moscow and the regions. The State Duma, according to Putin, will have the new power to appoint “the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, and then all deputy prime ministers and federal ministers at the Prime Minister’s recommendation.

The Kremlin has immediately convened what it calls a “working group on drafting proposals for amendments to the Constitution”. No elected constitutional convention; no constitutional assembly provided for in Chapter 9 of the present charter; no principle of representation; no decision or voting rules for the novel body. It was hand-picked by the President’s staff — “75 politicians, legislators, scholars and public figures”. The Kremlin has published photographs, but no list of the names yet.
The oligarch class, as Putin calls them, is represented by Alexander Shokhin (centre picture above, left); the working class – to whom no one refers – is represented by the man seated by the Kremlin next to Shokhin, Mikhail Shmakov, head of the trade union federation.
Noone in uniform is seated at the Kremlin table. The military appears to have one seat; that’s occupied by retired Army General Boris Gromov (above right), 76, now titled “Chairman of the Brothers in Arms National Veteran Public Organisation”. Gromov’s political career after the Army rules him out as representing the General Staff or the Defence Ministry.
Putin’s proposals create a fork in the balance of power by assigning domestic policy-making, including the budget, to the parliament’s appointees to government; while reserving defence, military, and security powers, and their budgets, to the executive. “The president also exercises direct command over the Armed Forces and the entire law enforcement system. In this regard, I believe another step is necessary to provide a greater balance between the branches of power. In this connection, point six: I propose that the president should appoint heads of all security agencies following consultations with the Federation Council.”
This preserves the imbalance – Putin’s terminology — let’s say concentration of policy-making and enforcement powers in the Kremlin; it also guards the incumbent president during the transition between now and 2024, as well as afterwards. “I believe,” said Putin, “this approach will make the work of security and law enforcement agencies more transparent and accountable to citizens.”The Russian public opinion polls are very sceptical.
The first test of what this step will mean in practice will be the names of the new ministers of defence, internal affairs, foreign affairs, the Federal Security Service, the intelligence agencies, and the two state law enforcement organs, the Prosecutor-General and the Investigative Committee. In the small print of Putin’s speech, he proposes to centralize authority even more than the presentby reducing the power of regional authorities to control their prosecutors. “I am confident that a greater independence of prosecution agencies from local authorities would be beneficial for citizens regardless of the region,” Putin said.Public distrust of both federal and regional prosecutors, recorded in the polls, suggests otherwise.
The Putin scheme also creates a competing source of legislative power by expanding the State Council, hitherto a talking shop; and by expanding the powers of the Constitutional Court to rule, on the Kremlin’s application, against parliament, as well as against regional governors and regional parliaments.
The State Council in its last Kremlin session, December 26, 2019. In his speech on Wednesday Putin proposed to “cardinally increase the role of governors in decision-making at the federal level. As you know, back in 2000 the State Council was restored at my initiative, where the heads of all regions participate. Over the past period the State Council has proven its high effectiveness; its working groups provide for the professional, comprehensive and qualified examination of issues that are most important for people and Russia. I believe it would be appropriate to fix the status and role of the State Council in the Russian Constitution.” On Thursday he ignored the State Council by appointing a different group to consider the constitutional amendments. No Russian commentator has published the question, why
In theory, Putin is creating more checks and balances than have existed before. Differences of view and interest between experts, parties, factions, the military, and classes – Putin’s term – are inevitable and natural. The vote to adopt the proposals will, however, be an all-or-nothing one. “I believe it necessary to hold a vote of Russian citizens on the entire package of the proposed amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The final decision must be made only on the basis of its results,” the president concluded in his speech.
This looks like a referendum, but Article 136 of the current Constitution is ambiguous. The 2008 amendments to the Constitution were adopted, not by referendum but by votes of the State Duma and the Federation Council. There has been no referendum under the present constitution.
How much of the proposed scheme is a fine distinction of powers without a change in their division? Putin told Medvedev at the meeting with the outgoing ministers:
“There is a clear-cut presidential block of issues, and there is a Government block of issues, even though the President, of course, is responsible for everything, but the presidential block includes primarily matters of security, defence and the like. Mr Medvedev has always been in charge of these matters. From the point of view of increasing our defence capability and security, I consider it possible and have asked him to deal with these matters in the future. I consider it possible and will, in the near future, introduce the position of Deputy Chairman of the Security Council. As you are aware, the President is its Chairman. If we need to amend the applicable law, I will do so soon and I want State Duma deputies to support this as well. We just need the lawyers to provide assessments on this account.”
Sources in Russian business and government interpret Medvedev’s new job as a gold-plated watch — consolation prize for losing the presidential succession race. Sources are unanimous in judging what has happened to be the liquidation of the Medvedev faction.
Politically, the rationale is obvious. Public disapproval of the government’s performance, and the stress which the ongoing US war is inflicting on Russia’s domestic growth, have been showing a consistent trend.
It is equally clear that the Medvedev faction, and also the pro-American supporters behind Alexei Kudrin at the Accounting Chamber, German Gref at Sberbank, and Anatoly Chubais at the state high-technology conglomerate Rusnano, are the short-term losers of the reorganisation Putin has proposed.The short-term gainers are not so obvious. Sources among them ask why the Kremlin staff calculated that a renovation of the government ministers should be dressed up as a constitutional reform.
These sources suggest that on the sincerity test, Putin’s proposals will not be believed for what he says they are. They add they are encouraged, also hopeful, that he is acting now to restrict the damage that faction-fighting over the succession can do over the next three years. Liquidating one of the factions has been an option advocated by many for some time. On the other hand, the sources point out that if Putin were sincere in his commitment to enhanced power-sharing with the parliamentary political parties, why sack the present prime minister now, and not wait for the State Duma to vote its approval for the new man under the new rules? This is a question which answers itself, most Russians think.
By the war test — how the proposals will affect the regime-change strategy of the US and NATO – the combination of constitutional plans and the replacement of Medvedev by Mikhail Mishustin (lead image, in car next to Putin) is judged to be no gain, no concession to the other side. Not yet.
That leaves the poll test. To choose Mishustin to become the prime minister is the biggest surprise of the week, and a curious selection to win public approval.If Gogol were to use the name, he would be tagging its possessor with something like the caricature, “busy baker”, since to the Russian ear, the roots of the word suggest someone who makes his living mixing things, like a baker; and who is visibly busy at that work. Mishustin himself likes to identify his recreation as ice-hockey. On the rink he plays forward and back, but not goalie.
Left: Mikhail Mishustin makes his nomination speech at the State Duma, his debut as a national political figure. Watch the speech, which was read from a paper script and lacked direct eye or any other personal contact with the deputies. They responded to the speech with brief, tepid applause. Right: Mishustin in his hockey uniform
The Russian biographic record for Mishustin, records his long technocratic training in computer science and economics; his PhD was on tax administration.He first started in state tax agency in 1998.
A 53-year old native of Moscow, Mishustin is reported to be part-Armenian by origin; his Soviet birth certificate may indicate that at birth one of his parents held Armenian nationality. If so, he would automatically hold Armenian citizenship. According to Putin’s constitutional proposals, the prime minister and other senior officials may “have no foreign citizenship or residence permit or any other document that allows them to live permanently in a foreign state.”
A protégé of Boris Fyodorov in the Yeltsin-era finance administration, Mishustin spent a brief period, 2008-2010, working in the Moscow investment banking business of UFG Partners, first established by Fyodorov.
By the time Mishustin arrived, the company was owned by Deutsche Bank and run by Charles Ryan, an American; Fyodorov died of a stroke a few months into Mishustin’s term at UFG. In April 2010, Mishustin returned to run the tax agency, and he has remained there for a decade. Tax evasion and embezzlement of value added tax (VAT) fill the kompromat records which have been published about Mishustin over this period.
Mishustin told the State Duma yesterday he is in favour of reducing the regulatory burden on Russian business. The Communist Party faction announced it would abstain from voting to confirm the prime minister because it was impossible to know what policies he stands for. Suspicion that Mishustin will try to cut social welfare benefits is widespread. The confirmation vote was 383 in favour; 41 abstentions; no one opposed. For the record of the Duma vote, read this.
One oligarch vote of confidence in Mishustin has been announced. Vladimir Lisin, head of the Novolipetsk steel and coal-mining group, told a Moscow newspaper: “We evaluate Mikhail Mishustin’s work as head of the Federal Tax Service positively. Under his leadership, the service increased tax collection, virtually eliminated schemes used by unscrupulous businesses in competition, and reduced the number of on-site inspections several times by introducing a risk-based approach. Despite the fact that we had quite difficult debates, we always found a common
civilized solution.”
Mishustin has appeared only once before this week in Putin’s Kremlin office.That was on November 21, 2016, Tax Workers’ Day. In their meeting Mishustin’s recital of his agency’s performance was unexceptional. Putin said nothing out of the ordinary. In the Russian photo archive for Mishustin, not one picture shows a smile on his face. A reluctant grin he managed for his last birthday, March 3, 2019, according to the Russian Ice Hockey Federation.
Putin has selected factotums before, men whose technical expertise was their asset, along with their lack of political constituency and electoral ambition.Mikhail Fradkov was the first, between 2004 and 2008; Victor Zubkov the second, between 2007 and 2008. When Putin appointed them, they made no changes to the power ministries. Mishustin is the third in this line. If he announces the end of the long terms in office of Sergei Shoigu and Sergei Lavrov, and General Valery Gerasimov is replaced at the General Staff, then Putin is deciding much more than he has admitted so far.

Saint Ambrose of Optina and Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky
From the memoirs of Anna Grigoryevna Dostoevskaya, the writer’s wife: “Fyodor Mikhailovich went to see the doctor, came back terribly pale and knelt beside the sofa on which we laid the baby. I also knelt down next to my husband. How terrible my despair was when suddenly the baby’s breathing stopped and death came…
Fyodor Mikhailovich kissed the baby, put the sign of cross on him thrice and burst into tears. I also was crying”. In May 1878, Dostoevsky buried his young son Alexey. Terrible grief literally crushed the writer. Totally exhausted, he decides to visit Optina Pustyn hoping to find solace here and learn how to live on.
Anna Grigoryevna Dostoevskaya
June 25. The writer just states briefly in a letter: “We spent two days in Optina Pustyn. Then we went back on the same horses …” Details of the visit to the monastery can be restored indirectly.
The writer’s wife writes that Dostoevsky met with the famous elder – Saint Ambrose of Optina – thrice. She also reveals what the writer and the saint were talking about:
“When Fyodor Mikhailovich told the elder about the misfortune that had befallen us and my grief too violently manifested, the elder asked him if I was a believer, and when Fyodor Mikhailovich answered positively, he asked him to pass on his blessing to me, as well as those words that were said to the saddened mother later by elder Zosima in the novel…”
Indeed, later, in the 1906 edition of The Karamazov Brothers, Anna Grigoryevna, on the sidelines of the Peasant Women Who Have Faith chapter, directly compared the words of elder Zosima with what Saint Ambrose told her husband.
Perhaps the most comprehensive, albeit extremely brief testimony of the communication between Dostoevsky and the saint was left by E.N. Poselyanin, the spiritual child of the Optina elder.
In the book “Useful for the Soul Reading”, he conveys one phrase that the saint said after the writer came out of his cell: “He is repenting”. The saint speaks of genius with the highest spiritual “praise.”
Optina Pustyn
This meeting is the result of a long and painful search of Dostoevsky. Overcoming personal tragedy – the death of his son – the writer in his latest novel, The Brothers Karamazov, draws a line to his creative and personal path, not without influence of what he felt in Optina Pustyn and what he saw in Saint Ambrose. Communication between celebrity and the saint has become more than just a private page in the life of Dostoevsky. It also symbolized something more global: a meeting of the intelligentsia and the Church.

russiainsider--2020-01-24--Russia Can Win the Propaganda War: Stronger Defense of Christian Values Will Defeat Globohomo

In late December , Putin announced that Russia is ahead of the US in hypersonic missle technology .
What we have to ask is : are futuristic military weapons even relevant anymore ?
Right now , it appears to me that all global power gains are being made using psychological warfare .
In particular , the US has gotten really good at using internet media to stir up populations into rioting against their own governments , and then using Western media to back up the fake revolutionaries as fighters for freedom and democracy .
The US has organized revolutions to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They ’ ve taken both Georgia and the Ukraine .
Now there are people rioting in Belarus .
Russia appears to have absolutely zero ability to counter any of this .
This is probably because the US currently has an ideology that it is pushing : anal sex and tattoos .
Russia , which used to have communism , does not currently have a clear ideology to sell to the world .
The obvious thing for Russia to do would be to push traditional Christianity and traditional Christian values as a counter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the universe to that being presented by the West .
I don ’ t really understand why they ’ re not doing this .
It just seems so obvious .
During the revolution in the Ukraine , it would have been very easy to have the Russian-backed establishment – that got overthrown – represent Christianity against the Western values of gay sex .
They would have gotten a lot more support .
As it stood , the president who was overthrown represented nothing at all other than “ Russia ” in a vague @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ethnicity and linguistic identity .
Of course , the Ukraine ended up with gay sex parades immediately after the revolution .
If the population had known that “ anti-Russia ” means “ gay sex parades , ” they probably would have been much less comfortable with the revolution .
There ’ s also the whole “ immigrant flood ” issue , which is a massive cultural dividing line .
And everyone is aware that Russia isn ’ t allowing itself to be buried in refugees , but Russia never makes it a point @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stage .
I mean – they do have this value system .
It is both “ the last Christian country ” and “ the last white country ” in many senses ( yes , you have Poland and Hungary , but they ’ re already in the EU and it ’ s only a matter of time before they go full anal/Islam ) .
Why they don ’ t market themselves as this , I just can not really grasp .
It is definitely amazing that Russia , still a relatively poor country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ West , and is actually still recovering from the fall of the Soviet Union , was able to pull ahead of the US in terms of development of military technology .
I don ’ t mean to try to negate that massive accomplishment .
But I do wish that Russia would be more aware of the development of this new battlefield that has emerged over the last 15 years , which is an ideological battlefield .
If they got into the game , it wouldn ’ t be hard to win it .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be everything to everyone .
They promote radical Islam in the Middle East , they promote neo-Nazism in the Ukraine , they promote British imperialism ( I guess ) in Hong Kong .
If Russia took a hard stance as a defender of the traditional values of Europe on the global stage , it would be the perfect counter to all of this .
An amazing and historical thing happened in 2015 , when Angela Merkel was flooding Germany with Moslem rape gangs : people marching against the invasion broke out with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Merkel to Siberia.
” It was simply a result of people naturally , intuitively feeling that Russia represents Christendom and white people .
This is all so obvious .
It ’ s frustrating to me .

In late December, Putin announced that Russia is ahead of the US in hypersonic missle technology. What we have to ask is: are futuristic military weapons even relevant anymore?
Right now, it appears to me that all global power gains are being made using psychological warfare. In particular, the US has gotten really good at using internet media to stir up populations into rioting against their own governments, and then using Western media to back up the fake revolutionaries as fighters for freedom and democracy.
The US has organized revolutions to take over huge parts of Russian territory.
They’ve taken both Georgia and the Ukraine. Now there are people rioting in Belarus.
And in Moscow.
Russia appears to have absolutely zero ability to counter any of this.
This is probably because the US currently has an ideology that it is pushing: anal sex and tattoos.
Russia, which used to have communism, does not currently have a clear ideology to sell to the world.
The obvious thing for Russia to do would be to push traditional Christianity and traditional Christian values as a counter vision of man’s position in the universe to that being presented by the West.
I don’t really understand why they’re not doing this. It just seems so obvious.
During the revolution in the Ukraine, it would have been very easy to have the Russian-backed establishment – that got overthrown – represent Christianity against the Western values of gay sex. They would have gotten a lot more support. As it stood, the president who was overthrown represented nothing at all other than “Russia” in a vague sense, I guess primarily as an ethnicity and linguistic identity.
Of course, the Ukraine ended up with gay sex parades immediately after the revolution.
If the population had known that “anti-Russia” means “gay sex parades,” they probably would have been much less comfortable with the revolution.
There’s also the whole “immigrant flood” issue, which is a massive cultural dividing line. And everyone is aware that Russia isn’t allowing itself to be buried in refugees, but Russia never makes it a point to play this up on the world stage.
I mean – they do have this value system. It is both “the last Christian country” and “the last white country” in many senses (yes, you have Poland and Hungary, but they’re already in the EU and it’s only a matter of time before they go full anal/Islam). Why they don’t market themselves as this, I just cannot really grasp.
It is definitely amazing that Russia, still a relatively poor country that is under constant bombardment by the West, and is actually still recovering from the fall of the Soviet Union, was able to pull ahead of the US in terms of development of military technology. I don’t mean to try to negate that massive accomplishment.
But I do wish that Russia would be more aware of the development of this new battlefield that has emerged over the last 15 years, which is an ideological battlefield. If they got into the game, it wouldn’t be hard to win it.
Right now, the US is able to be everything to everyone. They promote radical Islam in the Middle East, they promote neo-Nazism in the Ukraine, they promote British imperialism (I guess) in Hong Kong. If Russia took a hard stance as a defender of the traditional values of Europe on the global stage, it would be the perfect counter to all of this.
An amazing and historical thing happened in 2015, when Angela Merkel was flooding Germany with Moslem rape gangs: people marching against the invasion broke out with chants of “Putin to Berlin, Merkel to Siberia.”
This was totally unsolicited.
It was simply a result of people naturally, intuitively feeling that Russia represents Christendom and white people.
This is all so obvious. It’s frustrating to me.

Time once again to remember what the 'Holocaust' is really for: to give a free pass to Jewish supremacy everywhere in the world!
ON MONDAY, JANUARY 27, THE MEDIA WILL ONCE AGAIN play up the United Nations-created “International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust”, commonly known as Holocaust Remembrance Day. This will be only the 15th anniversary of this commemoration, but the 75th anniversary of what it specifically commemorates – the day the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp was "liberated" by the Soviet Red Army.
I heartily encourage you to go to jan27.org beginning on Thursday the 23rd to see the new articles presented there "in Honor of the Revisionists Who Introduced Sanity to the Auschwitz 'Death Camp' Narrative.” Support Revisionism! There are innumerable reasons why it is in your own interests to do so. For example:
Three years ago, in May 2017, I put up a very important post, as it turned out, warning about the IHRA – the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance – and explained why it was dangerous. It would be well to re-read the whole post at this time [and also here and here]. What follows is the part about the IHRA that appeared at the end:
IHRA working definition of antisemitism being pushed
Then there's the latest new definition of antisemitism that is being pushed on everyone.-- this one put out by an organization called the 'International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.' This is a globalist group that started up in Sweden (ostensibly) in 1998, for the purpose of “expanding Holocaust education worldwide.” This is their non-legally binding working definition of antisemitism:
“Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”
Does this clarify anything? No, it does not. What is it's purpose? I don't know but it is currently being pushed in the UK with the help of the Board of Deputies of British Jews. It goes on to explain:
Manifestations might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic. Antisemitism frequently charges Jews with conspiring to harm humanity, and it is often used to blame Jews for “why things go wrong.” It is expressed in speech, writing, visual forms and action, and employs sinister stereotypes and negative character traits.
Further specific definitions include:
Antisemitic discrimination is the denial to Jews of opportunities or services available to others and is illegal in many countries.
Just this month, the Slovenian delegation to the IHRA issued a public statement condemning an incident of Holocaust denial -- in late April Bernard Brščič "denied the Holocaust" in a TV interview. Oh, horrors. The delegations are generally made up of Jews and this is the kind of reporting they do.
When organizations resist
Most recently, the University and College Union (UCU) decided at its annual congress to spurn the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) definition of antisemitism as “retrograde,” “deeply disappointing” and “disgraceful.”
The UCU motion stated that the “[IHRA] definition conflates anti-semitism with criticism of the state of Israel and has been used to intimidate academics who are engaged in activities that are critical of the policies of the Israeli government but that are not anti-semitic.”
Another criticism was that the definition encourages the banning of speakers who are opposed to the policies of the state of Israel but who have not in any way expressed racism against Jewish people.”
In 2011, the UCU also rejected the definition of antisemitism proposed by the European Union Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia, which, like the IHRA, considers forms of anti-Zionism to be antisemitic.
So the Jews keep trying to get everyone to sign on to a universal agreement on antisemitism that can be used as the basis for uniform laws under which offenders can be prosecuted. It's all about their enforcement powers. And the fact is, they keep gaining ground, little by little, in spite of the clearly anti-democratic nature of what they're doing. The way to stop them is to bring down the hoax of the holocaust because it, and it alone, is the basis for all their claims against European society. (May, 2017)
Delegates at the IHRA Ministerial Meeting 2020 in Brussels.
“The fact is, they keep gaining ground, little by little.” !! That's one of the secrets to Jewish success. Beginning in 1998 with only a few states signing on, twenty-two years later the IHRC boasts 34 countries whose governments, without a vote of their people, have adopted the IHRC definition of antisemitism and committed them to enforcing laws against it. Above is a photo of the current representatives, over 40 faces—all white faces. Do you see any brown or black faces there? No, the IHRC only goes after Europeans because they use guilt over 'Nazi' concentration camps to pull us into their scheme.
This news release is disseminated by the AIJAC (Australia Israel & Jewish Affairs Council) which, like all Jewish organizations, pushes the IHRC in every way it can. It boasts that the 34 national representatives pledged “to the victims and survivors that they shall never be forgotten and that their legacy will be kept alive”.
Representatives also promised to promote Holocaust education, safeguard the historical record of the Holocaust and continue efforts to hold significant Holocaust commemorations.
The conference acknowledged “the ongoing battle against global antisemitism [is] from the left and the right." The delegates signed on to an "acceptance of responsibility as governments to continue working together to counter Holocaust denial and distortion, antisemitism, and all forms of racism and discrimination that undermine fundamental democratic principles”. In true trickster fashion, holocaust denial, and what they call distortion, is conflated with racism and anti-democracy.
It removes the right of scholars and other researchers to openly study the basis on which the Holocaust was formed! To even question their enforced version of historical events is viewed as anti-democratic, and pure 'hate'. However, it is the IHRA that demonstrates tyrannical authoritarism and anti-democracy in plain sight. Everyone can see that, if they are given the chance to see it.
