The main theme of the week was Covid, the struggle with him, and most importantly, the beneficiaries of this struggle.
Like most such issues, the fight against Covid should be considered at two levels: external and internal.
Let’s start with the external. Apparently, one of the concessions of V. Putin in Geneva was an active part in the fight against the third wave of coronavirus. Even before the meeting of the presidents, mandatory vaccination of some categories of citizens (so far) in Moscow was announced. This week, such measures were introduced in a number of regions, and, according to our information, next week to half of all subjects of our country will follow the Moscow example.
It is interesting that the rhetoric about the sufficiency of vaccines was replaced by conversations about its lack even to vaccinate those who need it to preserve the workplace. Forced vaccination against the background of a lack of domestic drugs for its implementation can open the Russian market for Western vaccines. “Northern Stream – 2” in exchange for the admission of Western vaccines – why not?
The closed FSO measurements showed unpleasant 40% of opponents of compulsory vaccination, and it was clear that someone should saddle the anti-icing agenda for the implementation of their electoral ambitions. Courage for this was enough for the Communist Party.
The answer of the AP was not long in coming, and the largest grids of telegram channels vied with the inevitable death of the Communist Party and the absorption of its residues of the SRZP. This only issued the concern of the presidential administration and improved G. Zyuganov’s position in a bargaining for curtailing covid dissidentism. Gennady Andreevich is a master to sell his “fundamental” position. It is worth expecting from curators of domestic policy both the support of the intra -party transfer on the basis of the city of Zyuganov, and the increase in the quota of the Communists in the State Duma.
The background to the main topic of the week became:
– Congress of the LDPR, which excluded the possibility of a “family” transfer in the party. The son of V. Zhirinovsky I. Lebedev refused to participate in the Duma elections.
– Congress of the SRZP, which confirmed the insids about the inclusion in the first five list, in addition to the three Mironov – Prilepin – Semigin, the “wallet” of the party A. Babakov and the popular film director V. Menshov.
– Congress of the Communist Party, which formed the Troika Zyuganov – Savitskaya – Grudinin, excluding popular radical party leaders, such as Rashkin, Levchenko and Bondarenko.
