Putin Using Western Values to Destroy Those Values and the West, Moscow Analyst Says by paul goble (noreply@blogger.com)

            Staunton, June 26 – Moscow commentator Andrey Malgin delivers a warning that no one should ignore:  Vladimir Putin, he argues, “will use Western values like direct democracy (referenda), freedom of speech and assembly and all the rest for the destruction of the West and these things which are its values” (kasparov.ru/material.php?id=576F5A5F85303).

            The Kremlin leader understands perfectly well, he says, that he will not be able to defeat the West by economic or military means and thus must choose an indirect approach, one that judo-style exploits the West’s strengths against it. Putin will thus promote populist anger in Western countries with the goal of “converting any vote into a protest.”

           

            There can be “no doubts,” Malgin says, “that Putin’s agents will now push for referenda wherever possible” and on whatever subject, left, right or center, with the goal of achieving the most “destructive” outcome possible. And to that end, he will step up his propaganda directed at Western countries.

            Anyone who objects as some have and more will, he continues, Moscow will challenge with the question “Are you against freedom of speech, respected ‘partners’?” To be sure, Russia Today is “not taken seriously” by many. But it is useful for Putin because of the impact it has on Western journalists who cite it in the name of balance, the current standard of objectivity, and thus spread “Lubyanka fakes” to their audiences.

            Sometimes, of course, this will be exposed; but the work is “so total that individual failures will not be able to have an essential impact on the results” the Kremlin seeks, Malgin says, adding ominously that this is the way “the third world war” is being fought, even if one side refuses to acknowledge that fact.

Kirill Martynov, the political editor of Moscow’s “Novaya gazeta,” offers an explanation for why Putin is being so successful in this effort because he appears to understand something that many in the West do not: the way in which the Internet revolution has spread contempt for all elites and expert opinion (novayagazeta.ru/columns/73608.html).

In recent years, he says, “there have been many arguments about what changes the Internet promises us,” especially in the wake of the impact of Twitter on the Arab Spring and the supposedly “liberating potential of new media.”  But, he continues, “only now are we beginning to understand how these changes work in fact.”

“It is possible that the main thing that the Internet teaches people is distrust in their own elites,” he argues, noting that “it is difficult to imagine the Trump phenomenon of the ‘incorrect’ voting on Brexit in an era of television” alone. But the Internet in both cases has done its destructive work.

“Now in the new media, we see experts much closer up and in more detail than ever before,” Martynov says. “We observe representatives of the establishment as living people who make mistakes, say stupid things and are laughable.” As a result, “voters in the West no longer want to subordinate themselves to the directives of ‘the empty suits.’”

And that in turn means, he concludes, that “a revision of the social contract in the entire world awaits us.” Such a process will entail many “risks,” including “the collapse of old political alliances and the coming to power of populists.”  Those who are banking on this like Putin may thus win particularly if those he wants to defeat do not recognize the challenge.

Muscovites Who Summer in Moscow Oblast Putting Unbearable Burdens on the Latter, Resident Saysby paul goble (noreply@blogger.com)

Sunday June 26th, 2016 at 4:37 PM

            Staunton, June 26 – Approximately five million Muscovites leave the city in the summertime, at least during the day, with the vast majority of them going to dachas in Moscow oblast where they get all the benefits of local oblasts without having to pay any taxes to that region, according to oblast resident Stanislav Barykhanov.

            The only way forward, he says in a comment for “Svobodnaya pressa,” is to have Moscow and Moscow oblast unite in an act of “mutual swallowing” that will allow city residents the chance to spend time in their dachas and allow oblast residents with the chance to get on with their own lives (svpressa.ru/blogs/article/151208/).

            According to realtors in the Russian capital, “more than three million” of the city’s residents have dachas outside the city limits, most of whom have them in the surrounding Moscow oblast.  In addition, there are more than 500,000 people who work in the city but live in the oblast year around.

            This pattern reflects the high prices for and small sizes of Moscow city apartments and the continuing urbanization of Russia, Barykhanov says. Consequently, the summer influx of Muscovites only adds to the problems caused by the influx of Russians from more distant parts of the country year round.

            One consequence of the flight from the city in summer times is that the population of the Russian capital is five million less in the summer months than in the winter.  That may make things easier for Muscovites, but it only adds to the problems of the oblast, problems for which there is now no money to address.

            Everyone in both the city and the oblast knows about the overcrowded highways and shortcomings in other infrastructure, he continues; but few reflect on the fact that the city residents who have dachas in the oblast don’t pay taxes to the latter and thus leave oblast residents with a burden greater than they can carry.

            The only way forward, Barykhanov says, is for Moscow city and Moscow oblast to “unite into one federal subject. In fact, we live together already … [and] a single system of administration will permit the more effective resolution of many sharp problems,” including regulation of migration and maintenance of infrastructure.

            But even more important, he says, unification will help save “the natural and man-made beauty of this unique historical corner of Russia which,” Barykhanov reminds, “belongs equally to Muscovites and to us, the aboriginals.”
