The blogger said, Venediktov reported and Putin responded quitting obscene language. Not before Putin’s intervention - the whole of this most precarious and precious character of “branded Russian” combat commitment – has been clearly shown up. The individual (blogger) is on the site subject, but Putin is correcting his observation that the situation is dependable of the formal establishment. Now and here, the situation lives its unique drama without excusable reference to any past. This is what Putin in Russia truly mean, the authority here and now. The media did not meat the appropriate PR of the emergency situation, what is the main trip point. Because, what is missing after Medvedev dismissed some officials, media did not cover the vacant space with the pivotal persons taking-over the situation. Media failed to convince the public that the pivotal structure runs the contingency, not the formal session of the government. This pivotal structure (effective delegations) carries out the linked execution of the operations, which media follows one by one and keeps government out of the scene. Not to hide but to let them think.

I can understand the bloggers frustration here but this situation is without precedent. I can understand why things have gotten out of hand. Here in America and more specifically California they deal with this every year. Fires burn vast areas all over the western US, we have decades of experience fighting them and have invested much into the science of fighting and controlling them. Russia does not because there has never been a need for it. Russia needs to invest in a little more equipment and educate the people that live in these small villages on how to protect themselves and their homes. Fire is not to be feared, it is in reality natures way of cleaning our home. Fire is to be respected for the tool that it is. The solution to this is education in fire science.

After the blogger's criticism and Pres Putin's encircled response one key point, at least, seems to be crystalized as to how to deal with large fire accidents in the future: there should be installed ringing bells in cities and villages all around the country. That would settle the situation. Cheers!

Government bureaucracy is strangling the life out of humanity everywhere. Fire all the bureaucrats and other dead weight and put them to helping fight the fires. Bureaucracy causes people to get lazy and expect everything for nothing. It is the special interest lobby that keeps them in control. Again, fire all of them and things will improve immensely. Putin probably already knows this.

Russia already had those nice planes that can suck up a belly full of water faster than any plane California had used before. We were impressed a few years ago when we saw one of those Russian planes in action. So they have the technology. What makes it tough this year is the scope of the fires - apocalyptic. And when the peat is burning 30 feet below the surface, nothing puts that fire out except a flood or a month of big rainstorms. As for small towns way out in the middle of nowhere, if a fire bell worked before to call volunteers, then why not use it again. I can understand why that blogger was so furious - his village had been overlooked in the push to get new communications. Some bureaucrat decided a modern phone connection would be nice out in the back of beyond, then never realized that the phone had to be powered and to connect to some kind of trunk line with a major city. Expensive to lay all that cable or to place a satellite hookup, so the project was dropped half-way through. Typical bureaucratic bungling. The sunk cost probably got accounted for in the "Miscellaneous" category in the region's budget.

"And then the democrats came..." says the blogger. But these "democrats" have been in Russia actually much before Putin and Medvedev. Their traces can be found even before M. Gorbachev! Russia, USA and China and under control of one entity which pushes New World Order agenda: One World Government and one world currency controlled by the cabal of the world's top bankers, under IMF.
