Effortless tries of political corpse

By Timur ISAKHANOV, freelancer

All politicians are looking exactly the same, and it’s not really matters whether one tries his best to become president of the country, the other to enter parliament, third to become head of local branch of some party, and fourth – to head boy of class. Strategy and tactics are all the same. But truly there is no other such unmerciful policy than one behind the scenes of power.

Indeed, there are many roads to power. One of which is triangulation; in other words – a game on political enemies field. One could attend to the same problems as put in by opponent, and to solve them out. The Kazakhstani opposition is using slightly mutilated form of triangulation – it uncovers the same problems that officials do, never proposing solutions however, changing this necessary condition of keeping electorate interest close excessively by criticizing opponents.

Probably the most famous Kazakhstani dissident Rakhat Aliev is utilizing the same methods. He’s not using traditional tactics: propose your own ways by criticizing. Instead of this he uses trick far much dirty than ones are being used by majority of present politicians – he tries to dirt up the opponent by mistaking wishes to reality: and hoping to find acceptance and faith in his words, since he recently used to be a face, as it said, close to body. And that’s why he initially had been perceived as “much-knowing”.

All of said Aliev harmonically combines with innocent lamb image suffering for idea. Thus uses another fine political sleight – to show himself as a person, hardly relying on its instinct and never moving a step from this position; stating by the way, that victimization is that sacrifice, which he is ready to put on holy truth table. An angel of some sorts, with areola above its skullcap. Disbelief to his statements is showing only therefore there is no place for gloat where principles are triumphed. However, face of Aliev hearing criticism in address to the homeland doesn’t look like a democrat suffering for image of the country (as he positioning himself), but like face of spit poison living by principle: “the more worse for the country under rule of the acting president, the more better for me”.

Along with this he sincerely hopes that sometime people of Kazakhstan (what if the West nourishing Aliev’s ambitions, there’s no point to forget about electors’ voices) will believe in moral recreation of the “hero”. But in truth, history knows many men and women which methods were identical to present ones of Rakhat Aliev, and who hoped on favor of “peoples’ short memory”. Eventually, they ended up on political cemeteries, and all of their political hopes passed away, even not looked back to wave farewell.

Acumen of leader is matter of huge importance. Those who fatally deficient with it, are staying as prisoners of their own ideology language which they never can translate to patriotism. They are doomed to constantly being on political train station waiting for train that never comes.
