Несбывшаяся надежда
Apr. 28th, 2004 01:31 pm...А когда-то Ярослав Романчук надеялся, что Путин захочет сделать в России настоящее экономическое чудо. И ради этого станет насаждать идеи Айн Рэнд. Похоже, и Илларионов был не чужд таких мыслей.

Current Russian president, Vladimir Putin, is unusually popular with the Russian populace with about 70% public support. He is considered a patriot in Russia, as well as in his home city of St. Petersburg — and the probability of his re-election in 2004 is quite high.
Being concerned about his historical legacy, it is widely thought that he will try to introduce significant changes in both the economic and ideological policies of the country.
But he is distrustful of western authors and philosophers and wants to come up with something uniquely Russian. Thus Ayn Rand and her Objectivism, with such obvious Russian roots, could very well satisfy this demand for a new ideology — and could shape the ideological and philosophical foundation of the Russian-speaking world for many years to come.
Inroads have already been made with the introduction of the Russian edition of Rand's Atlas Shrugged to Putin's top economic advisor Andre Illarionov by myself (Jaroslav Romanchuk) and Dmitry Kostygn at a Moscow book fair.
Что касается меня, я сначала думал, что Путин будет править в духе какого-нибудь Милошевича или Лукашенко. Получилось, однако, получше.
