    THE SINCERITY OF THE OLIGARCH
    Aram Abrahamian

    There is a Russian proverb; what the sober man thinks, the drunkard
    reveals. Changing a little that proverb we can say; we can judge
    about the RF authority real policy and initiations not from the
    semi-official news of `H1' but from so called close sites the news of
    which are only open for its abonents who haven't sworn not to give
    those news to anyone. `Eurasia time' VIP summary is one of such sites,
    which printed in May an interview with the biggest oligarch, the
    representative of Putin's closest circle Oleg Deripaska.

    Confessions of the real authority of Russia /Deripaska doesn't hide
    that Putin includes in with his big businessmen/ are interesting for
    us that Kocharian 's policy is the direct demonstration of the RF
    carried out policy. For example, Putin closed the NTV, Kocharian
    closed `A1+', Putin destroyed the parliament as an institution, which
    has its influence on the state, our president did the same, Putin
    restored the Soviet Union hymn, Kocharian wants the same etc.

    In that case three main ideas can be emphasized from Deripaska's
    interview;

    All official talks about democratic, speech freedom, fair elections
    are tales, nobody solves any problem in the ballot boxes because
    `they' /Putin+oligarchs/ can't allow `accidental persons» to
    rule the country.

    Conversations against corruption also have propagandizing meaning, big
    business must «pay salary» to the state officials making
    the latters be adequate and predictable.

    Russia, using economic levers, wants to bring to power its proteges in
    the whole CIC territory, who will serve for its aims, which according
    to Deripaska has been successfully done in Armenia.

    I wouldn't say that Deripaska's ideas were so monstrous. Simply they
    should be discussed in open and sincere way. Or simply to say to the
    peoples of Russia what the ruling clans do and will do. Though those
    peoples' live isn't improved from such a policy. The life of oligarchs
    is improved instead.
