Noisy autumn in Sochi.
Noisy autumn in Sochi.
When in Chelyabinsk the first snow, in Moscow falls at night
Pools start to feel chilly, and you still can pamper the body under
Beams of the tender Sochi sun and to dive into the warm
The Black Sea wave, necessarily you think: the life has gone right. Velvet
Season, having lasted to second half of October, not only
Has pleased enough numerous health-resort visitors for this time, but also
Has created rather comfortable conditions for the higher Russian
isteblishmenta and its high-ranking visitors from near and
The far abroad. The Sochi summer residence "Bocharov a stream",
Conference halls of star hotels "п я п?п я я п?п?", "Dagomys", "Pearl"
Flashed on screens of TV and pages of newspapers hardly probable not more often, than
The Kremlin and buildings on Ohotnom to a number. Warmed up the Sochi climate and
Pre-election passions. Perhaps, never elections of the mayor and city
Deputies in one country town did not call so much
Emotions and agiotage in a press. Competitors of a Sochi throne,
More correctly their names, began to be duplicated by the press in the mass
Quantity, including outside of Sochi, and main, according to a number
Experts, the nominee, the assistant to the head of the Kremlin
V.Bojko's administrations, known to earlier narrow circle
polittehnologov, lobbyists and the Duma functionaries, efforts of a number
The Moscow newspapers amicably doing of it of a demon in a flesh, became
More than it is recognised, almost well-known. If these editions seriously
Thought, "as it is better" to prevent it it has turned out at them words of Century
Tchernomyrdin, "as always". Their hero got popularity for
Money of opponents.
Well the god with them, with PR-technologies. Whence it is so much noise
Around almost forgotten in second half 90 Russian resorts
With the 350-thousand population, and noise for a city, to put it mildly,
Not the characteristic.
... Also there was a name it - silence.
The Sochi ruling elite of new type began to develop in
The beginning 90, when already former permanent city head N.
Over carps tehnichno has jumped from an armchair zama in an armchair of the mayor,
Remaining already till 95th year (!) the official appointed from above. And
Without democratic nonsenses everyone there. Approximately the same situation
Has developed with a city representative body. Owing to a number
The reasons, including administrative podkovernyh games, at a city
Three years at all there was no parliament. And money in a city still
Were. Here then the new ruling elite was generated in Sochi,
Uniting the former functionaries, businessmen-privatizatorov,
Branch heads, etc. At conversations with many local
Politicians it was necessary to hear following definition in the address
The Sochi ruling elite - "flight". Interestingly, as many
Simple townspeople use this original term, speaking about
Local authorities of different levels.
Certainly, in "flight" corresponding laws reigned. To
To example, there was a constant confrontation between heads
Four Sochi areas and a city management. But it is faster
It was similar to a pie sharing. As a whole members of "flight" lived by no means
Not comfortably. Magnificent country houses in cost in hundred thousand dollars,
The foreign cruises, sparkling foreign cars - all this standard
The set of "new Russian" was, that is called, it is available. On the first
The sight, in it for modern Russia is not present anything unusual.
However it is necessary to remember specificity of Sochi. First, a city to that
Time it was already grew fond to the first Russian president (so, and
The first democratic court). Secondly, the city power
Still remembered last loud political processes of the leaving
The epoch which scene of action became Sochi and Krasnodar. Thirdly,
And to the market anybody learnt nobody to privatisation, speaking to words from
Songs of the known bard: "... To steal we plainly were not able, that is why
Sat aground ". Owing to all listed reasons, and also in view of
Absence of experience and high probability to be caught for a hand
The next capital check the local beau monde has created the defined
The game rules the word "silence" became which major principle.
"Let our pond a little bit grows with ooze, and the smell can
Any fastidious person does not arrange, but it is silent, and waves on
Surfaces are not present "- remember heroes of a remarkable fairy tale? In
City mass-media of that time about the power, as about the dead man: or it is good,
Or anything. From pages of the central newspapers and screens Moscow
Channels of Sochi has practically disappeared. Indeed - so is quieter.
Absence of criticism, as, however, and serious opposition, along with
With possibilities in case of what to cover the innocent pranks with
The budget and resort zemelkoj at the expense of communications with
The high-ranking heads (in vain, whether that, banku heated yes
Animal wood from the helicopter beat) - all it not only did an image
The Sochi power firm, but also multiplied numbers approached to
To feeding trough. Country houses on beaches Results have not forced themselves long
To wait. The city enterprises are sold and wither. Collapses
The system of supply adjusted by years. Financial terms "marzha" and
"Discount" (read - a personal gain) become the first market
Knowledge of new bureaucracy. Corruption in law enforcement bodies
Becomes so ordinary, that ceases to surprise someone.
Capital construction is practically turned off. Fades
Life at the house-building enterprises. But!
Reserved places of a resort start to be filled with the unprecedented
Hitherto country houses and cottages. The inner sanctum has gone to business even -
The beach strip which is besides federal. On it
So-called boat hangars are erected. As you think, if
Tomorrow someone has suddenly decided to construct a magnificent country house in Moscow
Directly on the Red area, or in park of a name Bitter, or, to
To example, on Arbate, would give it a site under building?
More likely, would give on a neck or, that is even more correct, would advise
To address to the psychiatrist. But in southern capital of Russia "the necessary people"
Can receive tap under building even on a beach or in
City square. On this bill the technology is developed also.
The decision of administration to co-operative society N gives the permission on
Building of boat hangars. And instead of them suddenly grows
Complex of three-storyed cottages with garages, systems
Air-conditionings, saunas, satellite aerials and other
Necessary for storage of boats by gadgets. When made a fool
The public starts to arise, the administration bethinks.
Have really receded from the project? A complex of hangars on a beach "Small
Ahun "has amazed even having plenty sochintsev. It has appeared too
For a silent whirlpool. Noise has begun, there were telecasts and newspaper
Publications, there has arrived even any high commission, but have gained
Communications at the highest levels and terrible confusion in documents. Then
Heads, and present candidates - misters Latyshev, Kazankov and
The main architect of a city - the person worthy the separate story,
Mister Yaroshevsky, - did round eyes, showing to the friend on
The friend, and sincerely were surprised: whence undertook on a beach strip
Tens three-storyed country houses behind concrete fences? Then has carried by.
The checking have coaxed, on zealous scribblers have pressed, have got off, as
It is spoken, an easy fright. And country houses? And that country houses - not to take down,
Besides own.
Besides, as it was found out, they strongly protected have strengthened... From
Landslip. And then coast amicably strengthened different cafes, trading
Points, cottages, in general, everything, that could bring in the income
To the future owners. By the way, now city Office of Public Prosecutor
Has protested practically all decisions of local authorities concerning
Buildings of notorious boat hangars. But guilty yet
Have found. And feeling of impunity in the sum with greed eternally
Hungry, the imaginations multiplied by absence and economic
Knowledge, have made earth sale by the basic source of the income of "flight".
Retail trade became other source. A city have filled
Fairs, tents, trays, markets and... Heaps of trading dust,
Sewage. Shops uncontrollably attacked squares, parks,
Walking tracks - all for what still the main recently was famous
Country resort. You believe, the Sochi budget began to swell from
Money? Alas, the reader. At the height of a resort season one of
The Sochi heads has declared, that incomes in the budget from trade
... Were sharply reduced! It at one million having a rest in a city!
Paradox! However, if to assume, that the budget and pockets -
Informed vessels, all becomes on the places.
Turn to a throne in general, all developed in typical for
Postreorganization Russia spirit. However in Russia there is a new
The president, moreover and young, in addition liking in the sea
To swim for a while, yes on skis to drive, yes, except that (about horror!),
The interested a life outside of the residence and mountain-skiing
Lines. That to it is not clear, why the airport is not constructed, roads
Do not like, is interested, on what, actually, state money
(Grants, subventions, etc.) are spent. And to be fenced off from it
potemkinskimi villages any more do not possible. About federal money
Conversation special. In separate years a share of grants of the federal
The centre in the city-resort budget makes 60 %! Result?
Come look. The president has looked. Speak, not
It was pleasant. And here still term of elections has crept imperceptibly... N. And.
Carps the powers has combined ahead of schedule and, being the person
Wise, from pre-election fights and blows of the embittered
The public has left in the device of the presidential plenipotentiary
Kazantsev.
"Flight" without the leader on pervosti has become puzzled, even on elections
Tritely different columns. Operating i.o. Heads of a city of Century
Latyshev, known to townspeople under scandalous publications as
The owner of a magnificent private residence with rather foggy history
Buildings, remains, apparently, with administrative
Resource and without serious supporters. A.Kazankov - the head
The central area and the leader on distribution of trading places, is no time in
Strict conformity with "flight" laws pushed out by the former head
From the retinue and left without a budgetary feeding trough, -
Feeds up pensioners and transforms into a staff numbers of the own
Administrations. The head growing decrepit, and before the international
The Sochi airport V.Obuhov, confirming reputation of the person
Hazardous, too has gone on elections, hoping, on hearings, on friendship with
Presidential representative Kazantsev, communications in the power
Structures yes goodness knows where from undertaken (at the declared
Poverty of own enterprise) financial resources. Valery
Udalov, the regional deputy-businessman who has made, according to
People knowing it, a status on privatisation process and
The treated kindly city power, the certificate of that of a steel
Some the large ground areas received by him, try
To overtake A.Kazankova in a gain of love of the same pensioners.
Speak, even buses free across Sochi started up. But whether money
Has not sufficed, whether competitors at forthcoming elections in the person
Administrations of a city have covered routes. Vobshchem, experiment not
It has gone right. But it was possible to unite publicly with the known main thing
The ideologist of privatisation of hostels V.Medvedev - colleague Udalov
On regional parliament and the person as think, rather
The popular. Medvedev and Udalov's mutual feelings to each other and
To liked city have reached apogee by this summer, when ours
Heroes have appeared on numerous huge publicity boards in
Different areas of a city in a composition reminding prisnopamjatnye
Group portraits of leaders of world revolution. These, from a permission
To tell, fundamental cloths pleased all resort season
Eye having a rest, bringing up at them interest to the Sochi
Political life, and created by characters of posters
Inter-regional party of motorists of Russia (is now and
Such) became a wreath of joint political creativity.
And all would be anything and has ended, possibly quite
Predictedly - the great changes, all leaving on the
Places if the picture was not spoilt absolutely superfluous by two, on
To opinion of "flight", the character. One - "the Moscow visitor" V.Bojko,
Elite sochintsami in 1993 in the State Duma of the first convocation, and then
Got the financial capital in the large bank
To structure and experience of political intrigues in administration of the president,
Where supervised State Duma questions. It already became the hero scandalous
The publications which have amicably appeared in "New newspaper" and Sochi
"To the Black Sea health resort". Another - M.Kurkov, the assistant
The chairman of the government of edge, the person young and, certainly,
Vigorous, possessing wide communications both in regional, and in
The federal centre and leaning against support regional NPSR. At
It too all is not cloudless, at least, with two unpleasant
As circumstances to be considered to it it is necessary. First, sochintsy not
Have forgotten pochivshego in boze investment project "Medzhik-lend"
("The earth of miracles" in direct transfer and "a miracle field in the country of fools",
As inhabitants of Adler) joke. This park not having analogues
Entertainments a year should receive visitors. Secondly,
The Sochi communists have put forward on a post of the head of a city contrary to
To decisions regional NPSR the leader of pensioner Lihonina who was
The main militiaman of a city. It is necessary to tell, that loyalty of Sochi to
To the regional centre for a long time it was called into question. A city management
In the pursuit of Moscow "spice-cakes" about regional capital
Gradually forgot (sometimes rather nezasluzhenno). And if and
Recollected, only pushing the next amendment on decrease
Norms of deductions from the Sochi filled by a black cash in the regional budget.
Sochis even began to name the fortieth municipal district of capital.
But the situation in edge uncontrollably varies, and, apparently, in a course
These elections the regional centre will remind of itself not only the
The candidate and rates of regional taxes, but also influence on a situation
At elections of the governor. Now analysts
Predict association of natives of former Sochi elite
Round the new leader for struggle against expansion of Moscow and Krasnodar.
At the same time discuss and are afraid of other outcome: in that case,
If results of elections in southern capital do not satisfy capital
Federal, use recently spent is quite possible
Bills of responsibility of heads of local authorities, and
Also checking power bodies of different level and, as
Consequence, direct intervention of the federal centre.
There is and more one factor about which the Sochi elite has forgotten, -
Its this majesty the people - a thing, at first sight for present
The authorities useless, even harmful, but, that is characteristic, time in
Four years claimed because of granted to it about the silly woman of the right
To vote. And he, these people, has got tired not only from
Lacks of money, rudeness, a dirt, faults with an electricity and to that
Similar habitual troubles, but also that its all time
Hold for the blockhead in another's game. Thus every time, when it
Tries to be indignant, to it speak: "is more silent, you on a resort, and
Here people have a rest. Observe, please, silence ". This time
Appeals, possibly, will not work. In general, warm autumn of 2000
Will be in Sochi also noisy.
Valery FEDOSEYEV Moscow.
