Funny how the interview with Prosecutor General Chaika published yesterday is presented in a very unconventional way for an interview, and even looks a bit like our investigation into him:
Give it a read — it’s very interesting. It lets you gauge the degree of schizophrenia of the figures at the very top of this power structure.
This constant double life has led them to believe their own daily lies, and they become deeply indignant when asked about their obvious involvement in corruption.
And of course the prosecutor’s children achieved everything on their own. And their names in Rosreestr (Russia’s state real estate registry) were changed by some unknown people — the Chaikas had nothing to do with it.
Perhaps the most interesting thing in the interview is this sort of infernal crypto-Orthodoxy, mixed with pagan ideas about auras and spirits. Very typical of today’s Russian elite — all of them CPSU members since 1971–1975. At party meetings they denounced priests and anyone sympathetic to them. In their term papers they wrote about the wisdom of decisions to demolish churches.
And now they’re all White Guards from the Zaporozhian Sich (a historical Cossack stronghold): they go to Mount Athos, fall to their knees, and pray.
It turns out that from 1976 to 1991 they lived in a state of total unconsciousness. And now it’s as if the scales have fallen from their eyes. All that remains is to cast out the evil spirits, and full Christianity will finally arrive.
Strange that Yuri Yakovlevich doesn’t have wings yet, right? Apparently the dear Lord just can’t forget little details like how the Chaika family and his deputies set up companies with the Tsapoks, who massacred a family of 12, including children.
Still, no matter. Just tie a few more red strings around the wrist, adjust your energy a bit — then maybe they’ll give you wings too. Our way, the Orthodox way.
