транзит власти в России уже начался Блоги Эхо Москвы, 27.08.2020

Кажется, я начал понимать, почему так торопился Путин, когда разогнал на «ровном месте» Правительство Медведева и спешно, пока народ не опомнился, изменил «под себя» и без того «суперпрезидентскую» Конституцию. Выводы, к которым я пришел, однозначно говорят, что всех нас ждут бурные времена скорой политической турбулентности и непредсказуемых перемен.
Два события сделали ситуацию в России более понятной и ясной: корона-кризис и...отравление Алексея Навального. Да, именно это преступление стало последним пазлом, которого не хватало в сложной мозаичной картине настоящего, дающей ключ для лучшего понимания скорого будущего. Хочу подчеркнуть, что я никогда не был поклонником конспирологии, поэтому в нашем анализе мы будем руководствоваться только логикой и общеизвестными фактами.
Итак, начнем с дикого случая отравлению Навального, которое ОДНОЗНАЧНО было совершено ПОЛИТИЧЕСКОЙ ВЛАСТЬЮ РФ. Будь это не так, Кремль давно бы выступил с заявлением о своей непричастности к этому преступлению, а самое главное, предпринял бы все меры, чтобы оправдаться, найти виновных и доказать всему миру, что Путин и его власть не устраняет своих политических противников криминальными методами. Предположим, что внутри Кремля сложился заговор с целью «скомпрометировать нацлидера». Условные Патрушев и Золотов за спиной вождя решились на такую спецоперацию и провалили ее, нанеся Путину и его режиму ГИГАНТСКИЙ УЩЕРБ! Ведь теперь и навсегда в глазах мировых лидеров Путин бандит, мировой изгой, а в отношении РФ будут приняты новые жесткие санкции, которые наотмашь ударят по экономической и финансовой прочности власти, а также приведут к огромным экономическим потерям придворных олигархов. Стал бы Путин безропотно терпеть такое унижение, политическое и моральное «обнуление», обладая неограниченной властью в стране? Ведь он сегодня в одночасье способен решить судьбу любого человека в орбите власти России, снять с должности, подвергнуть аресту и следствию. Зачем ему брать на себя чужую вину, чужой криминал?! Оставим пока этот вопрос без ответа. Чуть позже Вы поймете, почему.
Теперь анализируем другие общеизвестные факты. Путин ужасно торопился изменить Конституцию, проводя ради этого «спецоперацию прикрытия», т.е. смену Правительства. Вы помните, в какой спешке проходило принятие поправок: даже «голосование на пеньках» шло в разгар эпидемии. Песков в итоге был вынужден заявить, что Путин не хотел, чтобы до 2024 его считали «хромой уткой». Типа «обнуление» сроков и новые поправки были срочно необходимы, чтобы придворные не интриговали, и вся властная вертикаль продолжала бы стабильно работать. Но обратите внимание на три странных публичных фактора:
1) Путин по-серьезному с февраля с.г. самоизолировался «в бункере», продолжает там находиться большую часть своего времени, а совсем недавно Кремлем оглашено сообщение, что он продолжит руководить страной в таком режиме практически до конца года. Почему он так боится этого вируса? Все мировые лидеры, даже возрастные Трамп и Меркель, например, спокойно работают, соблюдая необременительные меры безопасности. Борис Джонсон, президент Аргентины, а также десятки министров в разных странах мира вообще благополучно им переболели без последствий, никто из них не умер, потому что у людей такого уровня есть возможность получать качественную медпомощь. Как мы знаем, персонально под Путина недавно выстроен огромный больничный корпус, оснащенный лучшим медоборудованием; чего тогда так жестко «самоизолировался» наш Обнуленный? Тем более что в авторитарной стране, управляемой «в ручном режиме», любой длительный отход от управления истеблишментом чреват полной потерей власти. Вспомните дворцовые перевороты хотя бы за несколько последних десятилетий!
2)Публичные выступления Путина стали работать не в плюс, а в минус. Даже его большое интервью, показываемое частями как сериал, пришлось снять с экранов ввиду явного негативного эффекта, которое оно производило в силу неадекватных суждений вождя о реальности и проблемах страны. Его выступления по стилистике, лексике, темпу и яркости стали заметно хуже. А ведь раньше такого не было, Путин всегда неплохо говорил на публике.
3)Наконец, очень странные «опоздания» Путина на свои обращения к народу, которые он делал из бункера в записи. Как можно опоздать на запись заранее анонсированного выступления? Никак. Поэтому складывается однозначное впечатление, что невидимое нам редактирование его записей кремлевскими «кукловодами» шло до самых последних минут до начала трансляции.
Теперь вернемся к покушению на Алексея Навального. Оно ожидаемо вызвало в мире шквал эмоциональных осуждений и резких заявлений. Новые жесткие санкции против России и верхушки путинской элиты уже практически неизбежны: в мире звучат призывы к отключению РФ от мировой платежной системы (SWIFT) и даже к нефте-газовому эмбарго. Это однозначно приведет к полному коллапсу экономики РФ и быстрому концу путинизма. Ни о каком сроке после 2024 тут вообще не идет, режиму дожить бы (политически) до 2021-2022!
Но Путин никаких шагов по нормализации ситуации не принимает. Ему как будто все равно, что будет происходить в мире. Кремль от преступления не отмежёвывается, виновных не ищет, никого с должностей не снимает. Вместо этого вяло огрызается и неумело врет. Почему же Путин позволяет так себя уничтожать как политика и лидера великой державы? Есть лишь два предположения об истинных причинах происходящего.
Первая: Путин тяжело болен, физически или ментально (это мое личное предположение, мое оценочное суждение, основанное на изложенных ранее фактах). Ему уже сложно объективно оценивать реальность, делать грамотные заявления, адекватно общаться с окружением; он потерял интерес к жизни и своему будущему. Этим положением вождя и потерей им «политической воли» (то есть способности самостоятельно принимать решения) пользуется ближайшее окружение, топорно действуя от его имени и совершая непоправимые ошибки, чреватые тяжкими последствиями. (Обратите внимание, сколько в сетях в последние месяцы «сенсационной информации» о том, что Путина якобы давно заменили на двойника!)
Если властью вместо Путина уже обладает верхушка силовиков (а кто же еще?!), тогда становится логичной линия на конфронтацию со всем миром, безумную жестокость репрессий и отравление Алексея Навального как лидера протестного уличного движения. Кстати, в этом случае физическое устранение, аресты или заключение в тюрьмы других лидеров оппозиции лишь вопрос времени. Потому что в Кремле и в силовых структурах прекрасно понимают: массовый социальный протест не за горами, а его слияние с протестом политическим представляет серьезная угроза любому Правительству. Вот почему «выбивание» лидеров протеста, выдавливание их из страны становится одной из важнейших задач на период политической «турбулентности» при транзите власти.
Второй вариант немногим отличается от первого: Путин уже решил уйти со своего поста добровольно (по состоянию здоровья, например). Тем не менее он пока находится в твердом уме, но уже четко договорился со своим ближайшим окружением на ТРАНЗИТ ВЛАСТИ и подбор ПРЕЕМНИКА. Силовики же на этот период получили полный карт-бланш на усмирение народа ПО СВОЕМУ УСМОТРЕНИЮ и устранение всех препятствий (лидеров оппозиции), которые могут помешать этому процессу и взбаламутить Россию. Тогда не только выведение из строя Навального имеет свою логику, но и конституционное «лыко» тоже «в строку» новый президент по измененной Конституции будет обладать полномочиями бОльшими, чем сам Путин, чтобы удержать полученную власть в условиях кризиса, охватившего Россию. А там, полагают идеологи смены лидера, вдруг все наладится. Например, вырастут цены на нефть и газ
То есть по-любому Путин скоро уходит, а его истеблишмент намерен сохранить его режим в слегка модернизированным виде, заодно (чем черт не шутит?) осторожно списать многие проблемы и ужасы нынешнего времени на стареющего и уходящего вождя. Таким образом путинское окружение надеется сохранить прежний курс, а главное, свои позиции во власти (наворованные и захваченные активы и многомиллардные состояния) без Путина. Вот, на мой взгляд, логический смысл происходящих изменений в Кремле и вокруг него.
Никаких иных РЕЗОННЫХ И РАЗУМНЫХ предположений из событий последних месяцев сделать просто невозможно. Единственная альтернатива что вся верхушка власти тронулась умом и упорно ведет страну к гибели. Но невозможно поверить в одномоментное коллективное сумасшествие десятков придворных чинуш и миллиардеров. Все-таки у них должен работать банальный инстинкт самосохранения! В любом случае, полагаю, в России уже началась подготовка к смене лидера. О правильности тех или иных вариантов транзита власти мы можем еще гадать, но смысл происходящего вряд ли может оказаться иным. Предположу, что (судя по спешке) по времени «смена караула» вопрос нескольких месяцев. Ведь промедление в условиях разрастающегося в России кризиса по-настоящему смерти подобно!
И последнее: несмотря на происходящее «вверху», я ни на грош не верю в успех «операции преемник». Дело вовсе не в фамилии нового вождя и даже не в его харизме: без кардинальных ПОЛИТИЧЕСКИХ реформ, построения СМЕНЯЕМОЙ И ПОДКОНТРОЛЬНОЙ системы коллегиальной власти Россия обречена. На прозябание, бунты, революцию, гражданскую войну, даже на территориальный распад.(нужное подчеркнуть!) Это главное, что мы должны понимать про наше будущее.

UK coronavirus Patient Zero found - the first person to catch Covid

Michael_Novakhov shared this story from Cambridgeshire Live - UK & World News.

Researchers have identified the first person known to have contracted coronavirus in the UK, with the disease found on February 21 this year.
The woman, who was also the first person to die of Covid-19, is the earliest confirmed patient to have had the disease in this country.
It was previously thought a man from Surrey was the UK's Patient Zero.
But now researchers have identified the earliest sufferer as a 75-year-old woman from Nottinghamshire, who tested positive on February 21.
She is also believed to have been the first woman in the UK to die after contracting the disease, reports The Star.
A University of Nottingham research team analysed 2,000 routine respiratory samples taken from patients at the Queens Medical Centre between January and March.
They report: Patient one in this study is, to the best of our knowledge, the earliest described community-acquired case of SARS-CoV-2 in the UK, admitted to hospital care on February 21.
She was also the first UK Covid-19 death, preceding the earliest known death by two days.
It had previously been thought the first transmission of coronavirus in the country had happened on February 28.
Other research, published in May, revealed that Frances first case was back in December not long after the outbreak in Wuhan.
Professor Jonathan Ball, one of the study authors, said there was widespread community transmission of coronavirus in Nottingham back in early February.
He told The BBC: Had the diagnostic criteria for Covid-19 been widened earlier to include patients with compatible symptoms but no travel history, it is likely that earlier imported infections would have been detected, which could have led to an earlier lockdown and lower deaths.
"However, the capacity for testing available nationally was not sufficient at the time to process the volume of testing required.
"In order to prepare for any future pandemic such as this, the UK urgently needs to invest in and expand diagnostic capacity within NHS and PHE diagnostic laboratory services."

Coney Islands New York Aquarium opened to members on Sunday after a months-long closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, bringing joy to families and fish aficionados.
Im just so happy that it opened, said Queens resident Rachel Klepadlo, who attended the reopening with her daughter, Max, her husband, and their friends. It was something weve been waiting for for a while.

Attendees explored some of the aquariums popular mainstays, such as the shark tank and the outdoor penguin habitat and even got to meet the new seals that were born during quarantine!
Klepadlo said that three-year-old Max and her friend particularly loved a new exhibit called Spineless featuring jellyfish, octopus, and other sea creatures without backbones.

They just opened the jellyfish exhibit, and that was new to them, so they thought that was the best day ever, she said.
The aquariums reopening follows Gov. Andrew Cuomos Aug. 14 edict allowing museums and other cultural institutions to reopen on Aug. 24 at limited capacity with strict social distancing guidelines. The aquarium, which closed in March because of the pandemic, will open to the public on Aug. 27.

To ensure the disease doesnt spread, aquarium staff are limiting the number of visitors in a room at any given time, making sure that attendees wear face masks, and asking all visitors to buy timed tickets in advance. The free admission policy on Wednesday afternoons will continue from Sept. 2 onward, but those tickets will also need to be ordered online in advance.

Officials are also instituting strict cleaning protocols, particularly of high-touch areas, and ensuring that staff members wash their hands frequently, according to the aquariums website.
Klepadlo, whose daughter went to the aquariums leaning center every week before the start of the pandemic, said she felt safe exploring the aquariums indoor spaces.
They had staff members in every indoor area counting people. We felt like we had the place to ourselves, she said, adding that her family has already talked about returning. Were already planning to go back in two weeks.

New Wave of COVID-19 Cases Hits Brooklyn Communities

NEW YORK -
While the Boro Park Jewish community was hit hard early on by the coronavirus, and it seemed that the disease then seemed to have nearly disappeared, in recent days it turns out that there are dozens of cases of patients who became infected with the virus again. Hundreds of people were niftar in March and April. Currently, there are a few patients in the hospital and even some in the ICU.
On Monday researchers in Hong Kong reported that a man there had been reinfected with the coronavirus four and a half months after being declared recovered.
But a true reinfection requires genetic testing of the virus in both the first and second infection to see whether the two instances of the virus differ slightly.
The gabbaim of the Bobov kehillah in Boro Park on Monday issued a warning that new cases of coronavirus are cropping up.
They said that people at risk should be careful not to be in places where social distancing is not possible. At risk is defined as anyone over the age 60, if he or she has underlying conditions, or doesnt have antibodies.
Williamsburg Hatzolah told their members that they have also received reports that some people in the community have tested positive for coronavirus. They noted that they are monitoring the situation closely.
We ask all members to make sure to wear PPE on every single call for the safety of the members and the safety of our community, they request, and whenever you are dispatched to a suspected Covid call or a confirmed Covid call to contact W-80 so we can keep track and take the appropriate steps.
