1 | Vladimir Putin's Solitary PR Stunt | Ilay Dia An-tongotra Mandeha Irerin'i Vladimir Putin |
2 | Over the past months the Kremlin has given Russian bloggers more than the usual amount of fodder to ridicule the government and President Vladimir Putin. | Efa am-bolana izao ny tao Kremlin no manome vahana ny bilaogera rosiana hanimbazimba ny governemanta sy ny filoha Vladimir Putin. |
3 | The curious PR-stunts show no signs of abating. | Tsy nahitana soritra fihenam-piodinana ny tsingeringerina hafahafan'ny filoha. |
4 | Case in point - Vladimir Putin's old judo coach, and self-proclaimed “second father,” Anatoly Rakhlin, passed away last week from an undisclosed illness. | Ny tranga amin'izao fotoana izao - nodimandry tamin'ny herinandro noho ny aretina tsy nolazaina ampahibemaso ny mpampianatra judo an'i Vladimir Putin, sady nilaza tena ho “ray faharoa” Anatoly Rakhlin. |
5 | Two days later Putin returned [ru] to his native St. Petersburg to attend Rakhlin's funeral. | Niverina [ru] tao an-tanàna niaviany tao St. Petersburg ny filoha Putin roa andro taty aoriana mba hanatrika ny fandevenana an'i Rakhlin. |
6 | After the funeral, the state sponsored Russia Today aired footage of Putin walking alone down the streets of his native city, looking sad and forlorn. | Rehefa vita ny fandevenana dia namoaka lahatsarin'i Putin nandeha irery tao an-tanàna niaviany, tao anaty endrika malahelo sy ketraka ny fantsona tohanan'ny fanjakana Rosia Anio. |
7 | From the relative emptiness of the usually busy St. Petersburg streets, it was very obvious that the touching stroll was staged. | Tamin'ny fahitana ny fahafoanan'ny (fahanginan'ny) lalàn'i St. Petersburg izay maresaka sy be olona amin'ny ankapobeny dia nivandravandra fa efa nomanina ity fandehanana an-tongotra nampihetsi-po ity. |
8 | And so the jokes from opposition bloggers started immediately. | Ka niainga avy hatrany ny esoeso avy amin'ny bilaogera mpanohitra. |
9 | The popular satirical Twitter account KermlinRussia quipped [ru] along with a screenshot [ru] of Putin jaywalking: | Nananihany [ru] niaraka taminà pikantsarin'efijery [ru] ahitana an'i Putin niampita arabe ny kaonty Twitter malaza ho mpanaraby KermlinRussia : |
10 | Putin clings to power because he doesn't know how to do anything. | Mifikitra eo amin'ny fitondrana i Putin satria tsy mahay manao na inona na inona izy. |
11 | He does not even know how to cross a road. | Tsy hainy akory na dia ny miampita arabe aza. |
12 | Blogger and social activist Mitya Aleshkovsky pointed out [ru] that Putin had, in fact, broken the law: | Nasongadin'ilay [ru] bilaogera sady mpikatroka ara-tsosialy Mitya Aleshkovsky fa, raha ny marina, dia nandika lalàna i Putin: |
13 | By the way, the fine for violating road safety rules is all in all 500 rubles. | Na izany aza dia misanda 500 robla ny onitra aloa rehefa mandika ny lalànan'ny fifamoivoizana. |
14 | But not for the president, he walks where he wants, when he wants and how he wants. | Saingy tsy ho an'ny filoha izany, mandeha an-tongotra any amin'izay tiany andehanana izy, amin'ny fotoana sy ny fomba hanaovany izany. |
15 | I remind you that today is a work day, and his walk may well derail someone's working meeting, productivity, personal or business arrangements, and so on, but all worldly problems pale when his Majesty is sad. | Ampahatsiarovako anareo androany fa andro fiasana androany, ary mety ho nanimba ny fivorian'asa, na nanimba fahavokarana na nanimba fifampiraharahana ara-barotra na an'olo-tsotra manokana, sy ny sisa tsy voatanisa ny fandehandehanany an-tongotra, saingy vasoka daholo izany voatonona rehetra izany rehefa malahelo ny Mpanjaka. |
16 | The photographer Rustem Adagamov noted [ru] that activist and head of the Federation of Russian Car Owners, Vadim Korovin, had been fined for a pedestrian traffic violation just the day before: | Nanamarika [ru] ny mpaka sary Rustem Adagamov fa voasazy nandoa onitra noho ny fandikan-dalàm-pifamoivoizana ho an'ny mpandeha an-tongotra, ny andro mialoha io indrindra ny mpikatroka sady filohan'ny federasionan'ny Tompon'ny Fiara Rosiana Vadim Korovin: |
17 | Yesterday Korovin was fined for crossing the street in the wrong place. | Voasazy nandoa onitra noho ny fiampitana arabe teny amin'ny toerana tsy izy omaly i Korovin. |
18 | Why wasn't Putin fined by a traffic cop? | Fa nahoana no tsy nampandoavin'ny polisin'ny fifamoivoizana onitra i Putin? |
19 | Some, like opposition member Roman Dobrokhotov mocked [ru] Putin's presumed sad mood: | Mamazivazy [ru] ny endrika lazaina ho malahelon'i Putin ny sasany toy ny mpikambana ao amin'ny mpanohitra Roman Dobrokhotov: |
20 | Really, I think you are all wrong [about the stroll being] “set-up,” “cynical PR” - that's all foolish. | Ny tena izy diso daholo ianareo rehetra [momba ny fandehanany an-tongotra] “namborina,” “filoha lany henatra” - fahadalàna daholo izany. |
21 | Actually, Putin is simply a man. He just went to take a piss. | Ny tena marina, olombelona fotsiny i Putin. Mandeha fotsiny izy fa poritra. |
22 | Others, like the journalist Arkady Babchenko joked [ru] about the empty streets: | Ny hafa, tahaka ny mpanao gazety Arkady Babchenko moa dia nananihany [ru] tamin'ireo lalana foana [tsy misy olona]: |
23 | Putin walking down a desolate St. Petersburg street. | Putin mandeha an-tongotra amin'ny lalana mampahonenan'i St. Petersburg. |
24 | YouTube screenshot. | Pikantsary YouTube. |
25 | Well done to the residents of St. Petersburg - they have completely solved the problems of parking and traffic-jams. | Tsara ho an'ny mponin'i St. Petersburg izao - voavahan-dry zareo tanteraka ny olan'ny fiantsonan'ny fiara sy ny fitohanan'ny fifamoivoizana. |
26 | And cars in general. | Ny ny fiara amin'ny ankapobeny. |
27 | And people. | Sy ny olona. |
28 | This is the fourth public relations stunt the Kremlin has presented to the Russian public in the last month. | Ity no bemidina fahaefatra nataon'i Kremlin eo amin'ny sehatry ny fifandraisana amin'ny vahoaka hatramin'ny volana lasa. |
29 | First, Russians were shown Putin going down in a submarine at around the same time that Alexei Navalny returned to Moscow from his Kirov trial. | Voalohany, nampisehoana an'i Putin nidina tao amin'ny sambo milentika iray nyvahoaka tamin'ny fotoana niverenan'i Alexei Navalny tao Moskoa avy nanatrika fotoa-pitsarana tany Kirov. |
30 | This was followed by Putin's fishing trip [GV], after which Putin's press secretary was called out for lying about the weight of the President's fish. | Narahin'ny diam-panjonoana [GV] nataon'i Putin izany, izay nitabatabana ny sekreteran'i Putin miandraikitra ny fifandraisana amin'ny mpanao gazety noho ny lainga momba ny lanjan'ny trondron'ny filoha. |
31 | Then there was Putin's lackluster appearance at the annual Seliger youth camp, where he talked to a man in a cucumber suit. | Avy eo nisy ny fivoahan'i Putin tao anatin'ny endrika matroka tao amin'ny lasy isan-taonan'ny tanora Seliger, izany nifampiresahany tamin'ny lehilahy iray manao akanjo kôkômbra. |
32 | And finally, this. | Ary ity ny farany. |
33 | Has the Kremlin lost the plot? | Tsy mahita atao intsony ve i Kremlin? |
34 | Or is this a series of clever attempts to distract public attention from important issues like the coming Moscow mayoral elections? | Sa izao ny fomba an-kafetsena hanodinana ny sain'ny olona tsy hitodika amin'ny zavatra lehibe kokoa toy ny fifidianana ho Ben'ny tanànan'i Moskoa izay efa akaiky? |
