The key event of the week was the act of “air piracy” – forced landing of the Irish airline aircraft “Ryanair”, following the Athens to Vilnius, at the Airport of Minsk, in the course of the President of Belarusian Alexander Lukashenko special operations. The consequences of this (which became a complete surprise to Moscow) Special operations can be very painful. We are talking at least about the creation of a sanitary cordon on the border between Russia and the EU, strengthening sanctions pressure, a real threat to the project “North Stream-2” (potential economic damage from rash actions Lukashenko Assessed in 5 billion dollars). At the same time, the purpose of a large -scale special operation was just a detention former editor-in-chief of telegrams-channel “Nexta” Roman Protasevich And his girls are Russian citizens Sophia Sapieha. Sapga placed in SIZO KGB Belarus for two months. As a substantiation of such an attitude to the Russian woman, the Belarusian side presented dubious personnel of operational shooting made without the participation of representatives Foreign Ministry Russia and lawyer. The current situation is a classic “black swan” and becomes a very serious challenge for the Kremlin, from the point of view of political, economic and image risks.
Meanwhile, in the internal political agenda, the start of voting on the intra -party primaries of the party “United Russia” The DDOS attack was marked by the site, on which the vote was actually held (the party itself speaks of the “hacker attack”, but this version causes skepticism observers) and the resonant open letter of Russian teachers, in which representatives of the budget sphere announced their forced involvement in the procedure. The regions are trying to justify themselves, allegedly without administrative pressure, it is impossible to fulfill the “installations from Moscow”. Excesses in the field were also revealed: an abnormally high number of voters in the Volgograd region, voting for reward in the Khabarovsk Territory, numerous violations in the procedure in the Primorsky Territory. Intra-party primaries became in a sense “Lakmusova Paper” – indicator of the availability of intra -elite regional conflicts. It is expected that the conclusions will be made, and on the initiative Ap There will be a “change of curators” of election campaigns in a number of Russian entities.
