/ world today news/ In Minsk, at the 19th meeting of the heads of the security and intelligence services of the CIS member states, the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service Naryshkin announced that the CIA is working on a plan to organize a “Russian Republic”.
For now, of course, outside of Russia. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, called, among other things, to protect the state from external attacks by all necessary means, even the most sensitive ones, have not been abolished and will not be abolished in the future.
Nevertheless, the overseas dreamers intend not only to create on their territory (or the territory of satellites, which by the way is the same) some kind of symbolic structure, apparently believing that the various already existing “Free Russias” are not enough, but also want to put him at the head of the so-called “provisional administration” of the Russian Republic.
And this is already changing things. Of course, this entire administration may be dealing with pretty innocent things in practice. To distribute grants (and resolve the inevitable quarrels that arise in this connection, which can be quite Shakespearean in nature), organize gatherings and symposia, and raise funds for expatriates in need. True, the current foreign structures cope with these functions perfectly.
But the phrase “interim administration” changes things somewhat. The question immediately arises as to what exactly, and also where exactly – in Prague and Riga or directly in Moscow – this administration will run. Because the word “administration” implies corresponding powers of authority.
We may, of course, not observe the words under a magnifying glass. So far we know very little. Maybe we’re just saying that there was a brainstorming session at Langley or somewhere, and some boorish official whose powers are unclear came up with the idea of setting up a Russian government-in-exile.
If this hypothesis is true, then perhaps it is proposed to repeat the Venezuelan experience with Juan Guaido, who for four years (from January 23, 2019 to January 5, 2023) claimed the title of president of the country. And also the Belarusian Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, announced as the real winner of the presidential elections in 2020. Only the Seimas of Lithuania definitely consider her the head of Belarus, the rest are confused.
Perhaps the hope here is not so much for the transfer of power to the government-in-exile (here successful precedents are unimportant, not only with more or less modern ones, but also with ancient ones), but rather for the possibility of bringing Moscow to at least some problems. It is true that the belief in these problems is greatly exaggerated. If the completely unsatisfactory relations with the EU and the USA do not scare Moscow much, then a bad remake of the film “The Crown of the Russian Empire, or Elusive Again” will scare even less.
It should be borne in mind that the tradition of governments-in-exile dating back to the English rebellions of the seventeenth century, if not earlier, suggests that a foreign claimant to the crown (the presidency) could in principle hold that crown if the circumstances were different. The contenders had some degree of legitimacy. And Guaido was still the head of the Venezuelan parliament, and Tikhanovskaya ran for the post of president of the Republic of Belarus.
While the alleged leaders of the “Russian Republic” such as Kasparov, Guriev, Ponomarev, Gelman, Khodorkovsky, Pevchikh, Bykov, Akunin, etc. — have not even a shadow of legitimacy. And besides the fact that the majority of Russian citizens are in no way interested in being ruled by people like the above, there is another problem. The cheaters will immediately turn on each other that rags will be thrown. Also, they will fight even before it is confirmed who will be in charge.
The aforementioned film about “The Crown of the Russian Empire” was an outright farce. The battle between two rival emperors, presented as a cowboy fight in a Wild West saloon, was a gross exaggeration. In 1924 (when the polemic between the Cyril and Nikolaevs took place, which served as the subject of the film), the émigré conflicts had not yet reached this point. But in the coming year 2024, hypothetical quarrels may even surpass wild cinematic fantasy. Institutional squabbles are a scary thing.
On the other hand, despite the fact that the tape will be extremely low-art, our former compatriots seem quite ready to join this venture. That day, the public was greatly impressed by the statements of cultural masters Bykov and Chhartishvili. The collaborationists during the Second World War behaved more decently. If that’s just a trait of their nature, so be it. But there is another option: they heard rumors about the upcoming venture and decided to demonstrate their zeal.
In any case, if there really is any turmoil at Langley, the high-ranking officials there should remember how Prince Talleyrand taught his young servants: “The main thing, gentlemen, is less zeal.” Advice for all time.
