The Settlement Agreement. Make a repost

Christ is Risen!…”

Berezovsky writes two personal letters to V. Putin, with regrets about a lot of unpleasant things, and an expression of a wish to return to Russia (amnesty for money). While this message is being analyzed in the Kremlin and the Supreme Court, on March 23, 2013 in the house of his ex-wife (Berkshire county), Berezovsky finds his security guard, the former Israeli intelligence agent Mossad, hanged. The bathroom where the suicide occurred was allegedly locked from the inside, but this position is disputed by many authoritative sources. According to The Guardian, the ex-oligarch finds a broken rib.

Boris Berezovsky is buried according to Christian custom on a huge (350 thousand “places”) necropolis cemetery Brookwood (Surrey). The photo of the grave, which is represented here – all that is left of it in free use on the resource “Google”.

Private life. The first wife – Nina (Korotkova), the beginning of the seventies, two daughters. The second marriage – Galina (Besharova), 1991, daughter and son. In 1993, Galina went to the UK, filed for divorce and, thanks to the same English judicial system, reaches a record £ 200 million in compensation. The oligarch lives in a civil marriage with Elena Gorbunova, becomes the father of two more children and, in 2013, on a lawsuit from London, of course, pays, for all the feelings shown to him, a few million pounds more. Hobbies – theaters, restaurants, nightclubs.

1. Boris Yeltsin. Birth – 1931, with. Bout of the Ural region (as it is quite usual then – in a family repressed and miraculously survived – peasant workers) … admission to the Ural Polytechnic Institute. S. Kirov… graduation from the university with the qualification “engineer-builder”. Theme of the thesis, if it is, you are interested in the friends – “Television towers”. In the trust “Uraltyazhtrubstroy” Boris Nikolayevich works as a joiner, concrete worker, plasterer, crane operator, foreman, foreman, site manager (1957). Since 1966, Yeltsin is the director of the Sverdlovsk House-Building Plant. After passing several more steps of the career ladder, the future President becomes secretary of the Sverdlovsk Regional Committee of the CPSU, responsible for the industrial development of the region, and later the first secretary of this regional committee. The post, approximately equal to the current situation of the governor, B. Yeltsin occupies until 1985. During this time, Boris Nikolaevich differs, in particular, by erecting the highest in the country, marble-covered 23-storey building of the regional committee of the CPSU (nicknamed “Tooth of Wisdom”) and, according to the decision of the Politburo, the demolition of the house of the Ipatievs (the place of execution of the royal family). In general, as an economic manager, B.N.E. shows itself not bad.

Since 1979, B. Yeltsin is a deputy to the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. In 1981, he also became a member of the Central Committee of the CPSU. In 1985, on the recommendation of Yegor Ligachev, secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, a prominent figure in “perestroika”, Boris Nikolayevich was transferred to Moscow, as secretary of the Central Committee for Construction.

At the end of the same significant year, B.N.E. occupies the post of first secretary of the Moscow City Committee of the CPSU. The company starts cleaning the Soviet and party apparatus (strange, but it’s really not the same thing), food fairs are organized, the demolition of historic buildings is prohibited, and the Day of the City begins to be celebrated. Also, Boris Yeltsin gets some popularity, and popularity among the people, thanks to demonstrative trips on public transport (followed by a swift “diving” into the official “Volga”), personal checks of shops, warehouses, etc. Since autumn 1987, the MP publicly criticizes the leadership of the party, the incipient “personality cult” of Mikhail Gorbachev, the slow pace of perestroika, and so on. A wave of counter criticism moves Yeltsin to “just” the post of USSR Minister for Construction. The next wave – the popular popularity, hears Boris Nikolayevich, through the step of the deputy from Moscow, to the heights of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. In May 1990, Boris Nikolayevich was elected chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR. On June 12 of the same year, the Congress of People’s Deputies of the RSFSR adopted the Declaration on State Sovereignty of the RSFSR. This day, as is known, is now a state holiday of the Russian Federation. The political weight of Boris Yeltsin proper, in Russia, is rising. Exactly a month later BNE criticizes the party, Mikhail Gorbachev, and declares his withdrawal from the CPSU.

So, the start is given, and since August 1990, one after another, the republics of the USSR declare their sovereignty. Regions of the Russian Federation are broadcasting considerably, much more independence: the Komi, Adygea, Buryatia, the Gorno-Altaisk Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, Chuvashia, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Tatarstan, and other national entities. The Russian Federation is on the verge of transformation into a confederation (such is, unusually for us, a loose one).

Be that as it may, MS Gorbachev wants to preserve the USSR – and, of course, with his post of President. The Fourth Congress of People’s Deputies of the USSR (December 24, 1990) proposes a new draft of the Union Treaty.

In the meantime, ethnic Latvians, Lithuanians, do not want to wait for any bureaucratic procedures, and go to mass (50 thousand people) rallies. Only the faithful of the OMON are opposed to them. The assimilated, or simply apathetic Russians, do not show any noticeable activity. Bulky tanks when it comes to confronting such a continuous front, are not sufficient, reliable help. A total of six or ten people die, Latvia and Lithuania formally remain in the jurisdiction of the USSR, but… this is already an obvious wormhole in the body of the colossal state.

Boris Yeltsin sharply criticizes Gorbachev for the actions of the military, and suggests transferring all power to the Federation Council (the heads of the union republics). Slack response of Mikhail Sergeyevich – organization March 17, 1991 All-Union referendum on the renewal and preservation of the USSR. Yes, most citizens of the Soviet Union (except for the Baltic countries, Georgia, Moldova, Armenia) are “for”; but when such things are generally put to the vote, it is clear that, in any case, the final is close.

June 12, 1991, 57% of the votes “for”, Boris Yeltsin is elected President of Russia.

His first steps, it should be noted, seem quite reasonable. So, these are decrees “On Priority Measures for the Development of Education in the RSFSR” and “On the Termination of the Activity of the Organizational Structures of Political Parties and Mass Public Movements in State Bodies, Institutions and Organizations of the RSFSR”. Now, recall, there and there, in the executive state apparatus (which, it seems, should be neutral) is dominated by clearly expressed representatives of a particular party.

On August 20, the signing of the “Treaty on the Union of Sovereign States” is scheduled. The Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan are expected to be updated beyond recognition of the USSR; Later, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine and Turkmenistan could join them.

Representatives of the original party elite disagree with this. They (and many, many very many citizens of the USSR) like the former, standard, fateful, early Brezhnev kind of the great Soviet Union. As is known, they organize the State Committee for the State of Emergency (State Emergency Committee), from August 18 to 21 seize power… television… But, fellow citizens, there are simply no bright, respected persons in the composition of this Committee. Leave at least one of them out of yourself, say a word about the great future and the past, repent of your mistakes, renounce sin (Stalin’s system of one-man rule) cry sobbingly – it would probably work. But these people are trying to save face, act in the style of the KGB, officially-formally-rude – and, of course, lose.

Gorbachev is trying to stay away from all this, but, despite this cautious policy, is losing the post of President of the USSR. A little later, he completely dropped out of the political struggle, declining for permanent residence abroad.

So, the signing of the Union Treaty breaks down. Formed by the Yeltsin CIS – the Union of Independent States, an absolutely pragmatic union of the eight former republics of the Soviet Union.

Yeltsin forms decrees on price liberalization, free trade, etc. Yes, this contributes to the filling of the consumer market with goods. But, the policy of the Central Bank, the Office with unknown beneficiaries, since 1990, a private, remaining and now a mystery to all publicists without exception, contributes to hyperinflation, a sharp decline in social payments, savings, and so on.

In 1993, the government of the Russian Federation, headed by Yeltsin, entered into a clinch with (blocking many presidential decrees) by the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation. Recall that, sometime (May 1990), Boris Nikolayevich himself was the chairman of this supreme legislative body of the Russian Federation. At that time, people actively advocated the abolition of the Communist Party and (somehow it is mixed up) against the revival of the Soviet Union under the guidance of some unattractive gray persons from the security services. However, the Soviets, it is, ideally, the organ of the representation of the people themselves … something in common is quite another. So, although, the Bolshevik Soviets are too united (formally – since 1977), here the opinion of the people is divided almost fifty to fifty.

The conflict, as is known, is solved by the execution of the House of Soviets, 300 human victims, 3 or 4 burnt armored cars. Yeltsin wins. Activities of the Soviets of all levels are suspended. About this event, catastrophically fast, citizens of the Russian Federation forget.

…In June 1991, the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria was singled out of the Russian Federation. Mass genocide of all those inhabitants of the region who are not ethnic Chechens is unfolding. About 30 thousand people die.

Also, Chechens organize mass, literally, conveyor abductions of people in related areas of the Russian Federation – either by turning them into their home slaves, or by demanding a huge ransom payment.

All this in the media is not particularly advertised, but, for some unknown psychological channels, reaches the consciousness of the leaders of the Russian Federation. Yes, people all over the world should understand that crimes against the Russian people, sooner or later, even as if it is clumsy, and under other slogans, are severely suppressed.

On December 11, 1994, according to Yeltsin’s decree “On Measures to Restore Constitutional Legality and Law and Order in the Territory of the Chechen Republic”, federal forces will enter the territory of Chechnya. The territory of the republic is taken under control. Dying about 80 thousand people. Unfortunately, the action is not formalized, first of all, as the evacuation of the remaining (oppressed) non-Chechens, which leads to disorder in the minds of the residents of the Russian Federation, and to many foreign policy complications. In 1996, thanks to the conciliatory and conjunctural policy of the Russian leadership, Russian troops leave Chechnya. By itself, this republic, its population, of true Russia is completely alien, while preserving the state of things, Chechnya could get complete independence. As is known, the emphasis is not on social protection of the population, but on arms purchases, the aggression of Ichkeria into the adjacent subjects of the Russian Federation (Dagestan, etc.), terrorist attacks in the territory of the most central Russia, simply force the Kremlin to conduct a second military campaign (1999)…

Under Yeltsin, this undoubtedly respects freedom of speech. Boris Nikolayevich, the essence, not a villain. However, most print media, television, radio, fall under the control of these or other financial groups. You, dear reader, can yourself, if you will, trace where the roots of funding for one of your favorite newspapers, the news block on TV, go – and understand who exactly needs it.

In 1996, thanks to financial influences of Russian oligarchs, American advisors, etc., B. Yeltsin won again in the presidential election. It seems that his opponent, the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Gennady Zyuganov himself is happy about this. Already deeply ill, Boris Nikolaevich pulls the power strap until 1999.

The rating of Russia in the international arena now… in general, we can say, is positive.

In 1999, NATO countries are carrying out point-bombings of Yugoslavia. The external reason for this action is the forced expulsion by the Serbs, the extremely unfriendly (settled by the weird Josip Broz Tito), … how many hundreds of thousands of Albanians from their (Serbian) ancestral lands (the province of Kosovo). However, the sight of a tear-stained child in the television camera of a world TV channel operator means at times many more official statements and realities of the time. Unsuscussed in a large-scale media struggle, Serbia loses this war. Boris Yeltsin does not like this situation, he threatens to aim nuclear missiles at the US again, but…

Perhaps, and the First World War, because of Serbia, for Russia is already quite enough.

In the same year, Yeltsin publicly appoints a successor (acting head of state), before that – the FSB director, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. It is worth recalling the last words of Yeltsin as President:

“I made a decision. Long and agonizing over it reflected. Today, on the last day of the passing century, I resign.”

Later, according to little studied psychological laws, this official statement is transformed into what is now known: “I’m tired. I’m leaving”.

Then Yeltsin lives on the government dacha, surrounded by pleasant luxury, asphalt with heating, and, count, dear friends, full of security. However, over time, his protege deprives Boris Nikolayevich of meetings with members of the government, and in general, of any other possibility, at leisure, to seriously influence anything in the world around him. The ex-president is dissatisfied with the curtailment of freedom of speech and the institution of elections… a new anthem of the Russian Federation, an old melody, but, to say something really valid, is no longer able. However, it seems, his supervision of what is happening in Russia, has a certain, very beneficial effect on the situation in the country.

Boris Nikolaevich dies in 2007, from cardiac arrest. To many, very many, the time of its voluntary exile (2000—2007) is now remembered as the golden age of the “zero” ones.

Private life. His wife is Anastasia (from the age of 25, officially Naina) Yosefovna Yeltsin (Girin), since her studies at the institute, two daughters.

2. Vladimir Putin. Birth – 1952, Leningrad, … life in a communal apartment without amenities… studying in a special school with a chemical bias on the basis of a technological institute. Continuing education, since 1970 – Law Faculty of Leningrad State University (acquaintance with its associate professor, Anatoly Sobchak), distribution to the State Security Committee (KGB). Work in the investigative department of the Leningrad KGB (5th Directorate, the fight against “ideological sabotage”), after retraining – a trip to Dresden (formal position – Director of the Dresden House of Friendship of the USSR-GDR). After the unification of Germany and, in fact, the loss of the meaning of further work under cover, Putin submits a report on dismissal from the KGB of the USSR (1991). The new place of service is the rector’s office of Leningrad State University, and also the Leningrad-Petersburg City Hall. Vladimir Putin’s terms of reference are the organization of the currency exchange in the Northern Capital, attracting investments, and much, much more. In 1995, VVP, already an official deputy mayor of Petersburg, heads the regional branch of the party “Our House – Russia”. Simultaneously, V.P. passes training on the program of the American National Democratic Institute of International Relations (NDI); created by the US government to “promote democracy in developing countries” (through the appropriate training of “reformist political activists”).

In 1997, V. Putin defended the thesis of candidate of economic sciences (something about planning the reproduction of the region’s mineral and raw materials base). Later it turns out (information is not verified in independent sources thoroughly) that 16 of the 20 key pages of V.P.P.‘s work have been compiled from the articles of the textbook “Strategic Planning and Politics” by professors-analysts of Pittsburgh University (USA). The main theme here is, as if – the merger of the leading corporations (“national champions”) with the vertical of power, and the implementation of state policy.

In 1996, Vladimir Putin holds the post of deputy administrator of the affairs of the President of the Russian Federation (Pavel Borodin), and later the head of the Main Control Directorate of the President of the Russian Federation. Since July 1998 V.P. becomes director of the Federal Security Service (FSB).

At 12 o’clock in the afternoon, 1999, the incumbent head of state Boris Yeltsin appoints Vladimir Putin as his successor (vice-president of the Russian Federation).

Since the beginning of zero, the country is filled with petrodollars. The price of oil rises from $ 20 in 2000 to $ 140 in 2008 (that is, 7 times). At the same time, the economic development curve in general is clearly repeating the rise in GDP growth rates of the country from 1997 to 2000. (with a short-term failure from GKOs). Thus, the successes (or failures) of President Putin’s economic policy are completely masked by the flow of free oil money. In general, the real average income of citizens from 2000 to 2013 is doubled ($ 17,500 per year): it’s true.

One of the first universally recognized successes of Vladimir Vladimirovich is the tax reform. The number of different taxes is reduced by 3, 6 times – from 54 to 15. The budget is filled with more budget. A social explosion (rising raw material prices is too obvious for everyone) is prevented.

On December 1, 2001, the Unity movement, the election blocs “Fatherland – All Russia” and “Our Home – Russia” merge into a single liberal-conservative political party, “United Russia”. Interestingly, the words-antonyms “liberalism” and “conservatism” are somehow united in one. Giant all-embracing party like the CPSU uses the administrative apparatus of the state, and its financial apparatus, to achieve its own (not necessarily coincident with the wishes of the people) goals. Putin is not directly a member of the union, but so-called. EdRo is focused on supporting this particular leader. Some points of the original Manifesto of the Party are interesting:

…By 2008, each family will have its own comfortable housing, worthy of the third millennium, regardless of the level of today’s income.

…In 2005 every citizen of Russia will receive his share from the use of natural resources of Russia

…By 2010 the transport highway St. Petersburg-Anadyr, Tokyo-Vladivostok-Brest and other

…By 2017, Russia will be the leader of world politics and economy.

Later this (already sent to the regions) document as it is obscured. Only classical is expressed, expressed by numerous vague phrases “Path of National Success” (2003). A characteristic phrase: “… The modern accounting approach to the economy must give way to strategic planning, the ability to see the economic perspective and unite the country’s efforts around the real points of economic growth.”

In December 2004, V. Putin abolished direct elections of heads of regions. Somehow he links this one-person unconstitutional decision with the tragedy in Beslan (the capture of the children’s school by Chechen terrorists). In April 2013, following the order of V.P.P.‘s successor, Dmitry Medvedev, the election of governors “returns”, but it turns out that the regional parliaments “voluntarily” renounce them. By April 2006, 66 out of 88 regional leaders became members of the pro-presidential United Russia party.

Simultaneously, the transition to elections to the deputies of the State Duma is carried out exclusively on party lists. Self-nominees from single-mandate constituencies, which, for example, enjoy serious support from the people on the ground, independent of the “corporate ethics” of this or that party, can not be found in the State Duma. Only the party apparatchiks remain – or people taken solely for “beauty” (boxers, gymnasts, actors, etc.).
