Orchestrating a crackdown on protestors and oppositionists in the capital would be unpopular, but could be the plausible next step for Putin - with this latest cold reception to his return to the presidency yet another blow to his popular legitimacy. The violence seen yesterday could well be the start of a broader crackdown, composed of subtler elements, such as attempts to dilute the opposition’s power by suborning individual oppositionists or opposition groups, as well as through heavy-handed crackdowns on street protest and opposition leaders.

Вспомнился мультфильм далекого детства – «Золотая антилопа». В конце сказки жадный восточный правитель в вариации темы царя Мидаса просит волшебную антилопу остановить потребованный им поток золота, грозящий его убить. По условию договора, если жадный раджа потребует прекратить золотой поток, то все его золото превращается в глиняные черепки. Что и происходит. Как немедленное следствие все слуги раджи от него уходят в поисках другого, богатого Раджи. Так всегда поступают наемники, служащие только за деньги. Легитимность власти в таком случае роли не играет. Все дело в ее способности платить наемникам. Похоже, это как раз случай путинского режима, который вероятно будет держаться пока есть возможность покупать поддержку. Устойчивость такого режима вызывает серьезные сомнения, поскольку от финансовых затруднений в наше время никто не застрахован.
