Parliament in the epoch of late capitalism and within the framework of the Anglo-Saxon type of electoral games is a place where specially hired people say what they were told to say serious uncles, that is, they serve as assholes.
In other words, serious uncles put them on parliament like glove dolls in their hands. In order not to shine by themselves, in order not to waste time on sitting down pants, in order to give the electorate democratic spectacles - and this may be the most important, because while the electorate is busy contemplating parliamentary discussions, it’s most convenient to get into his pocket .
In this context, the PACE phenomenon cannot but arouse admiration for its supreme senselessness, senselessness in cuba - an organ that even theoretically does not influence anything and does not make any decisions; it exists only so that parliamentarians from different European countries can gather and debate and they don’t even have to pretend that they decide something and influence something.
How was Pelevin there - who has clowns?
Well, this is their European convention.
However, the Ukrainian deputies managed to stand out even against this picturesque background. First Deputy Goncharenko boasted rubber gloves, like a cleaning woman, then Deputy Aryev, locked himself in the room of the Ukrainian delegation, refused to give comments and shouted that they wanted to occupy the room (like Crimea, of course), then right during the meeting, deputies took the floor to complain, and the speaker pointed out to them the untimely complaints, and after the meeting, the Ukrainian delegation surrounded the Russian journalist Olga Skabayeva, arranged shaming and heyting, and one of the deputies tried to communicate with the journalist English, but knew him so badly that still had to go to the Russian.
Well, it’s understandable with gloves - obviously, the Ukrainian deputies were very much asked to take part in the British-made comedy television series Salisbury.
Of course, not in the main roles, and so, in the episodic, the actors of the crowd scenes, but they are happy. So glad that they could even guess what they should do, and without formal requests from the producer. If only the producer was pleased.
But everything else turned out to be so far beyond the limits of any decency that the mouths opened even in Kiev. Well, that is, clowns are clowns, but still this is a metaphor, guys, you don’t need to understand everything literally ...
On the contrary, in contrast with the essence of the appearance, the most sedate and decent was adopted here: strict suit and regulations, emphasized politeness, deliberate ceremonialness - this is all. And here you are in caps with bells, squatting, with obscene ditties - well, not so ...
However, alas, clowning and is today the very essence of the Ukrainian government.
Until 2014, the Ukrainians had a state. Some no, torn apart by internal contradictions, not rich, corrupt, balancing between its western and eastern neighbors, but its present state, with which the world at least somehow considered.
Then, the Ukrainians stole their state by placing a wooden doll in its place. The real power and control are in the hands of unknown persons and it is not a fact that in Kiev. You cannot elect them, these people, you will not ask them, you will not overthrow them on the Maidan, you will not even see them on TV - and yet they are the real power and the real state, where the state of Ukraine was.
Instead of a stolen state, they left to the Ukrainians a company of clowns, who were strictly punished to pose as the state. They have no real power, and they cannot take any decisions, of course, but their task is completely different - to distract the attention of Ukrainians endlessly. How? Snarls and jumps, the jingle of the jester bells, obscene ditties. Anything at all - just to attract the tempered gaze of the Ukrainian TV viewer, while he is describing and enduring property.
From here all these Poroshenko and Klitschko, Savchenko and Geraschenko, Lyashko, Pyagniboki and Yatsenyuk - their name is legion. The fact that these clowns are also bloody does not negate the fact that they are nothing more than clowns.
Accordingly, no one except the clown, in the current Ukrainian politics, unfortunately, can not appear. And therefore, what happened in the PACE - alas, such a perverse rule. Now it will be so long, at least until the Ukrainian TV viewer has something to take out of the house.
As for us, I kill God, I do not understand why we absolutely need to participate in the Congress of the Union of European Clowns. Europe, moreover, is disintegrating, ready to collapse and break up into several “green zones”, interspersed with “gray zones”.
By the logic that you need to use any platform, so as not by hook or by crook, convey your point of view to someone? Well, maybe. But then it is necessary that we have at least one strong orator in the Duma. Let's get on. Otherwise there is no point at all.
And by the way.
“Balagan in PACE, which was arranged by the Ukrainian delegation, once again confirms that such people should not be allowed into a decent society. It is very embarrassing for men who rush on a defenseless woman, insulted and rude. Unfortunately, at that moment I was not in PACE, otherwise I would love to see how these people insult Olga, ”said Slutsky, the head of PACE Russians in RT.
I would also look with interest as the man in the gloves is rude to our journalist with a large Russian man.
