Putin made ​​a bloody coup

The second - a far more significant, because it is the number of deaths. The events of five years ago claimed the lives of five people. At this time, their number reached 75. The number of injured in the riots in the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek is also impressive - in the morning of April 9, exceeding 1500 people. More than 500 of them with injuries of varying severity hospital admissions. According to the Ministry of Health of Kyrgyzstan, many of the wounded were in serious condition and there is a threat to their life. April 9 and 10 in the republic declared days of mourning for the dead....

The third difference is perhaps most interesting from the standpoint of analysis: the attitude of Russia and the West to what is happening in Kyrgyzstan. It seems that the parties have exchanged roles and texts of statements. In 2005, the West supported another color revolution in the former Soviet Union, although condemning the aggressive techniques some of its achievements. In turn, the Russian side is limited to dry statements of willingness to cooperate with the new Kyrgyz authorities, while introducing seekers Askar Akayev and his family.

Fast forward to 2010. International organizations virtually no comment on the events in Kyrgyzstan. A few dry statements from the EU, OSCE, UN, and, of course, the U.S. ambassador to the need for peaceful resolution of conflict through negotiation - you can not take into account. Protocol and calls polite Western society dictated by mere inaction ...

But the triumph of Russian officials about the overthrow of President Kurmanbek Bakiyev clearly shines through in all their many applications. That only is the Kremlin's response to a question about the possible arrival of former Kyrgyz leader to Moscow: ... But it is kind of like a legitimate president of the republic, which is very recent - last winter - Moscow vigorously courting and absolutely no shame bribed (of course, in the form of ... One need only recall how eloquent excelled then the Russian leadership, urging Bakiyev to adopt the ...

As we remember, then, in early February 2009. After a meeting with Bakiyev, Dmitry Medvedev said that Russia will provide Kyrgyzstan loans totaling $ 2 billion and will provide financial assistance ( grant, just for beautiful eyes Bakiyev) in the amount of $ 150 million. ... ' The basis for such support is a special character of the allied relations between our two countries - he said. - In today's world is very complicated situation, very difficult conditions in Russia and other countries, but nevertheless, we believe it is important to strengthen economic ties with Kyrgyzstan to implement major investment projects, which aim to develop the region and that will help the socio- . Dmitry Medvedev also said that his country and Kyrgyzstan will combine their efforts to stabilize the situation in Central Asia.

Now Bakiyev promised Moscow ...

In principle... concerning the reaction of the parties to explain all. West is tired of problematic politicians who came to power after the ... On the other hand, a factor that is hard to ignore - referred to the airbase ...

At the same time, the situation with the airbase ... Head of ' interim national government ' of the country P. Otunbayeva even before the events in Kyrgyzstan rushed to reassure the United States, saying that the U.S. Transit Center ... However, if the situation would in such a way that Americans still have to remove its base from Kyrgyzstan, so thirsty that Russia is hardly a lot to win, rather - on the contrary very. In this context, the Western media are reminded that in December last year the head of the U.S. Transportation Command, General D. McNabb, commenting on a possible withdrawal from Kyrgyzstan, said: ... Namely - if the new Kyrgyz leadership asks the U.S. to leave, Washington would seek a replacement in the immediate region - Azerbaijan, Georgia and Uzbekistan. And we can talk not about ... At least, such an option in Russia, looking forward to a victory over the Americans in Kyrgyzstan can not be ruled out.

But look at all the same to the party who has shown much more clearly a reaction to current events in Kyrgyzstan, and the reaction it was very interesting. Russian politicum not even trying to hide his gloating, because finally deposed one of those who came to power after these revolutions - the event that during the rule in. Putin had been raised to the rank of government threats.

Nothing to find fault, but there are some things associated with Russia's response to the events in Kyrgyzstan, which is too obviously attracted the attention of.

First of all, this is a clear recognition of affectedness Russian Prime Minister that the Kyrgyz events caught him completely by surprise. If the revelations in. Putin is true, it turns out that the Russian Armed Forces General Staff GRU, SVR, and along with the FSB, which, as it turns out (if you recall last year 's failed operation against the Federal Security Service of Ukraine from the territory of Transnistria), also sometimes involved in the conduct of intelligence in other states - complete ignoramuses. Only in this way can be called the secret service, who are unable to predict the military- political situation in the neighboring country for a few days ahead and in time to inform the leadership. It is worth noting that the countries bordering on Russia, the countries are the first priority.

In this case, the value of Kyrgyzstan for Russia it is obvious by the actions of Moscow: as if there was not, this is the republic and the policies pursued by her leadership, has become an occasion for a serious diplomatic confrontation between Russia and the U.S.. Let no one open, but it is obvious. But still - desperate attempts to make contact with Bishkek and to impose (or more precisely - to sell ) their friendship.

Against this background, ... Overlook a revolution in pervoprioritetnoy country - it's not a joke. It turns out that the myth of the omnipotence of the intelligence is not anyone dethroned Russia, and one of the most authoritative Russian spies, now holding the post of Prime Minister.

However, in. Putin himself is almost ... His hasty statement April 7 that neither Russia, nor he nor Russian officials have no relation to what is happening, for some reason firmly associated only with the proverb about the thief and his hat, which in this light thief. The subsequent decision of the Russian leadership only strengthened this association.

Just an assurance that the events in Kyrgyzstan are purely internal affairs of that State, poorly linked to the unexpected decision D. Medvedev to send a group of Russian soldiers. And he has every right given to him by December 16, 2009 by the Federation Council, to make decisions on the operational use outside the territory of the Russian armed forces units in order to ' protect the interests of the Russian Federation and its citizens, the maintenance of international peace and security '.

The stated mission of this group are: ensuring the safety of families of Russian citizens in the territory of Kyrgyzstan, diplomatic missions and other Russian foreign. At the same time never sounded its size and because the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany - it was also a group of soldiers. A comparison might seem ironic, but lives in Bishkek, about 250 thousand. Russian, which, according to the Russian president urgently needs to secure.

In this uncomplicated way, a group of Russian soldiers may exceed the number of Kyrgyz army, which, together with the internal forces and the National Security Service, under the most optimistic estimates are not numbers, and 12 thousand. man.

Further scenarios one can only domyslivat. One thing is clear: if this group of soldiers will support any political leader, the Kyrgyz quickly stand up a sovereign democracy and the power hierarchy, and for a long time forget about all sorts of upheavals.

It should also pay attention to this point. As reported by Russian media, a senior Russian government source said that the official Moscow ... ... Another source from the Russian presidential administration, said: ... He repeatedly failed to restrain their promises to the Russian side, it is intended for selfish reasons '.

With this in mind, necessarily begs the thought of not so ... Too much action like this (and the government representatives of the Russian Federation, including the government and the administration of the president of Russia, strongly indirectly confirm this version ) on the artful combination of Kyrgyzstan to return under strict Russian protectorate. Not for nothing is not so long ago that the GUAM countries anxiously embraced the adoption of the resolution on the sole decision of the Russian head of state to use Russian troops abroad. Looks like their security forces are able to soberly assess threats to national security, to predict the development of the situation and to inform their supervisor.
