It is easy to understand inhabitant’s logic. At the beginning he has a question, why did princess “campaign” the masses through her blog? But then he has down-to-earth question – do people need it? And the emotions gush over any formal logic. Here are some episodes that will help to understand why the tears shed in her blog do not create people desire to make dirty their handkerchiefs by these tears.
The Shedevr supermarket, situated in the center of the city, is closed. Our inhabitant has got accustomed, that these markets are on bed terms with law and sooner or later others will be closed too. There is always a way out. But, well-off representatives of inhabitants, who became frequent customer of this supermarket, have their own opinion. But as it stated in rumors, which always have elements of truth, it happened soon after Gulnara Karimova bought the upper floor of penthouse and many residents of this house began to think to sell their houses in order to get rid of such “privileged” neighborhood.
The group of diplomats during two hours waits for princess’s coming to the event, where they were invited, in order to hear just: “Everybody thank you”. The local public (rectors and others) just stay without a word. And what can be said about poor men who by a stroke of luck became fellow travellers with princess in one flight. Nobody can “cast off” without her appearance in the liner.
The 8th of March is a wonderful holiday. The employees look forward to get a present. The intelligent heads pay out bonuses. Suddenly there is appeared earnest request (for these heads) “from the cabinet of ministers” to pay attention to women and buy for them domestic manufactured perfumery in order to support a local business. The perfumery is of course from “Guli” brand, but there is a big question how these heads could manage to find fund for buying this product.
So how princess look in inhabitants’ eyes after such episodes that accompany her everywhere. Will sincere emotions and admiration flow in a stream? It goes without saying, that there enough deceitful and false flatterer always. But, really strong person will think about infirm people, not towering above them like unapproachable statue in glamorous frame. But it is not the point that very watchful guards of princess will not allow to anybody come close to her within shooting range. May be it is necessary, but the precipice between status person and her flock, as it seems to her, is not formed by guards. There is no confidence that these guards heard something about destiny of guards who made a stand for Queen Sofya’s protection.
In this connection inhabitant has another type of question. Has princess burning desire to overcome this precipice. No, inhabitant doesn’t dream that the princess will become as locally Mother Teresa and begin to throw odd money for bread to indigents from her armored vehicle. The inhabitant needs obvious example that princess really knows well about needs of those above whom she is dominating and that she is ready to come close to them.
For the moment the attempt to come closer to people through blog is arousing bewilderment rather than disappointment. The dialogue has not taken place. Or will it take place? Princess’s unclear and obscure arguments are arousing evident questions.
If princess was surrounded by crooks and swindlers as Bekhzod Akhmedov from MTS and others, why she has been tolerating them for such a long period exploiting their services? If there so many envious and ill-wisher people all around, so where is her friends? Is a friendship limited by flattery? The inhabitant can hardly get rid of feeling that princess’s interview is only the attempt to clear her. But it is known that people try to clear themselves when they feel their guilt. It is not a role that princess choose for herself.
After such questions any clever enough inhabitants will think for hundred times “what else she needs in this life?” She has status (even if family), money (it does not matter from where), respect (even if formal and not always sincere). At last she has an image of benefactress of her people (even if it is formed artificially). Then what? Is there no fear that nobody gives guarantees, not concerning personal welfare but the insurance policy for illness called “syndrome of the lost elitism” coming into view. Obviously the princess thinks about perspectives of her social and political welfare.
What can say about it simple, well-read inhabitant? Only one thing: “she needs change her team or change herself…..”.
