Putin does not abandon his own: why Natalia Poklonskaya will be sent to Africa

“She dreams of islands”

No, no matter what you say, there are still political careers with a happy ending. Until recently, it seemed that the story of Natalia Poklonskaya was not from this category. A small but proud bird ascended, they say, broke away from the collective, singed its wings and is about to fall from heaven to earth. However, the latest news about the fate of the scorched-disgraced politician confirms a well-known truth: Putin does not abandon his own.

Natalia Poklonskaya, deputy chairman of the Committee on International Affairs, who is finishing her powers in the State Duma, will become a diplomat. Namely, the Russian ambassador to the African state of Cape Verde, also known by its former name-the Cape Verde Islands. Geographically, it is an archipelago of 10 large and 8 small islands located in the central part of the Atlantic Ocean – 600 kilometers from the coast of West Africa.

The information reported by the media was in the status of a rumor for a few hours. Natalia Poklonskaya’s Duma colleagues immediately informed the public that a meeting of the international committee “on this issue”would be held in the near future.

For reference: according to the current procedure, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to a foreign state is appointed and recalled by the President on the proposal of the Minister of Foreign Affairs “after consultations with the relevant committees or commissions of the chambers of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation”.

In other words, the convening of a committee to resolve “this issue ” means that” this issue ” is practically resolved. Although Poklonskaya herself is flirting: they say, she does not want to run ahead and comment on information about future employment before the end of the deputy cadence. But there is no doubt: according to the words of a once popular song, Natalia Vladimirovna already ” dreams of islands and amazing countries… And time is slowly passing.”

The turn in the life of a young politician is, of course, unexpected. But you can’t call it absolutely incredible. A living symbol of the Russian spring, the first prosecutor of” our ” Crimea, turned out, despite her appearance and fragile constitution, to be a rather hard, unyielding human material. This was already evident in the Crimea, and, according to rumors, was one of the reasons for the transition – or rather, the transfer – of Poklonskaya to parliamentary work: the authorities of the republic dreamed of a more accommodating prosecutor.

But all its sides, this tough nut shone, of course, in Moscow. One can recall the frenzy with which she fought with the film “Matilda”, and her differences with the Kremlin on a number of items on the domestic political agenda (including, for example, on the issue of raising the retirement age). Poklonskaya paid for her waywardness with the post of chairman of the Duma commission for monitoring the reliability of declaring the income of deputies.

And in the end, it came to the external agenda. “People (in the Donbass. “MK”) they are afraid – ” Poklonskaya said in an interview with Russia Today TV channel. – Someone puts on a military uniform for them and shouts: “Donbass is Russia!” We need to somehow put an end to it, we do not need to spread the whole world to the planet Mars, the Russian world.”

After these words, the Public Chamber of the DPR appealed to the Russian authorities not to nominate Natalia Poklonskaya for the State Duma elections as a person who insulted the memory of the dead residents of Donbass with his statements and therefore is not worthy to represent the interests of the Russian people.

And it seems that the call was heard. At the end of May, Poklonskaya announced her refusal to participate in the upcoming parliamentary elections, explaining this by “switching to a job that is not related to the work of a deputy.” However, she completely refused to specify the nature of this field: she only said that this work would be interesting for her and that she wanted to be useful for the people, for our leadership and for Russia.

And now, as it turns out, Natalia Vladimirovna was not bluffing. The new service is really interesting and not useless. By the way, Poklonskaya recently graduated from the Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Department of International Security), so this is also a job in her specialty. However, it is difficult to see any other logic in choosing the place of application of her new professional knowledge, except for the solid age of the current Russian ambassador to Cape Verde (Vladimir Sokolenko turned 68 in January this year).

But, on the other hand, where else? In any case, Poklonskaya, who is accused by Ukraine of treason, did not become an ambassador in Kiev. And Japan, where she enjoys a special, double popularity – both as a person and as a comic book character in the anime style – Natalia Vladimirovna is still out of rank. As one famous literary character said about another famous literary character on a similar occasion, “he did not deserve the light, he deserved peace.”

The path to the highest political light is closed for Polonskaya because of her too restless and independent character, and peace is ensured by her participation in the annexation of the Crimea. Such merits, as we see, are not forgotten in our country. But there will be peace – at least fill up.

“The Republic of Cape Verde. The motto is: “Unidade, Trabalho, Progresso (Unity, Labor, Progress)”. Official languages: Portuguese and Caboverdiano. Form of government: parliamentary republic. Territory: 4033 square kilometers (176th in the world). 4033 square kilometers (176th in the world). Population: 583,255 people (173rd in the world)… ”

The information posted on Wikipedia, of course, is not enough to get a complete picture of this country. But it is enough to understand that the new Russian ambassador will not have too much trouble and anxiety. Except for the unrest on the sea-ocean, which prevents an active beach holiday.

However, who knows, perhaps we are very wrong, predicting Natalia Vladimirovna dolce far niente, sweet idleness and oblivion. As you know, it is not a place that paints a place, but a person paints a place. This was proved by the singer Cesaria Evora, the most famous native of the Cape Verde Islands today. Poklonskaya herself has repeatedly proved this. And, quite possibly, he will prove it again.
