Scandal of day


"FAMILY" IN AGONY (Search for a political donor)

In the opinion of an outside observer, genetics is a science that is not too strict. But some of its laws are so indisputable that their action spreads over many other spheres of human relationships. For example, the peoples of the Far North have from the very beginning used "traveling gigolos" to strengthen the gene pool of settlements and individual families spread over territory from the White Sea to Chukotka itself.

And right now, the probably most well-known "over the endless Russian territory" Family, feeling the first indications of economical degeneration, is striving to "freshen its blood." The clan, which was the most powerful in the recent past, controlling more than half of the country's economy, is trying as hard as possible to obtain the support of the new political leadership of Russia. It is clear that the official successes of our country on the international arena and the economical growth, which has been awaited for ten years, cannot help but cause worry in the camp of the Family, used to "conducting their business" in an undercover struggle and in the quiet atmosphere of bureaucrats' offices.

The plundering of the country, its break-down in favor of the entourage of the "popularly elected" lord, began in these offices. And the reshuffling of the appointments to ruling posts, which follows after each scandalous exposure, most probably did not hide the real motives from anybody: power and huge amounts of money are firmly held in one and the same "Family" hands even up to the present moment.

The distribution of the roles played by members of the Family itself is also notable. Yumashev and Dyachenko were closer than the others to the decrepit Yeltsin. Voloshin, according to the words of both friends and enemies, had the greatest intellect. Abramovich, Gusinsky, Berozovsky and Deripaska - smart in respect to big money, oil, metal and "information resources." Slightly to the side is Shuvalov, who "resolves questions" in the government. And a security cover is provided by officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Rushailo and his right hand Alexander Orlov (the power broker of the police, hiding from the Russian law enforcement agencies in the Palestinian deserts of Israel).

However, it's not for nothing that it's been said for ages that fortune changes. The hour of payment for what has been done has not come, unfortunately, but the pendulum of history is swinging back and power is imperceptibly getting out of their hands. Of course, one wants to believe that this same pendulum is striving to reach a balanced state.

Nevertheless, the huge financial resources which are in the hands of the Family as a result of the control by the Yeltsin suite need to be saved and multiplied. Therefore, a return of the "family" retinue to power is going ahead at full speed - from Chukotka and the "wildest corners" of Siberia to the "red band" of the European portion of the country, the deputies at all levels and members in the upper house of parliament are representatives of bankers, oil and metallurgical magnates, and also embezzling state bureaucrats temporarily hiding from the political arena.

So, what's the idea? The essence is that all this "family clique" is once again, without any shame or conscience, rushing for power, and the electorate, stupefied by refined technology and open bribes, may once again put the weight of an inhuman regime on their shoulders. And then for many years the country will once again be in the power of a bunch of rich Mongols. But their time has passed irrevocably and the "fresh blood" of the present Russian leadership will never become a source for strengthening the "gene pool" of the Family.
