    HOW THE STATE OFFICIAL WAS "KILLED"
    HAKOB BADALYAN

    The story connected with the resignation of the Moscow Mayor
    turned out to be very interesting. For weeks running, TV dishonored
    Luzhkov when in the end Dmitri Medvedev dismissed him. A real Soviet
    Union when through papers, state officials were killed like flies:
    articles against a state official were written, public attention and
    dissatisfaction was generated and in the end the "party" decided that
    the very state official is not worth of the position he holds and
    satisfied the demand of the society. As we can see Russia follows the
    path of the Soviet Union though the president of the country Dmitri
    Medvedev dwells on modernization.

    Modernization would be if instead of TV or press attack, Medvedev or
    an authorized person announced to be dissatisfied with Luzhkov's work
    and that the latter does not fit the ideas on Moscow's future and he
    decided to replace the mayor and appoint a person who would govern
    the capital the way it fits for a country who pledges modernization.

    But they try to play a spectacle in front of the society, as if they
    are servants as if they have "the same blood" with Luzhkov but the
    society's will is sacred for them so they dismiss him. People, of
    course cannot be deceived so easily; they understand that Luzhkov has
    been dismissed because he was left out of Russia's inter-governmental
    new classification or he just turned out to be the victim of the fight
    for a new classification. Maybe, really, a person who will modernize
    the life in Moscow will be appointed but the mechanism of changes
    is very retrograde and artificial, with the help of retrograde and
    artificial mechanisms, it is difficult to reach modernization because
    the most important issue is the modernization of the mechanism itself.

    Consequently, Medvedev had to start from him and not the staff -
    in particular, the Moscow Mayor.

    Essential "shrines" of the Soviet times are preserved in Armenia too.

    Here too, if the power is dissatisfied with a state official, it
    does not directly issue about its dissatisfaction but launches an
    attack against the official through media. In the course of this
    process, either the power decides to dismiss the official, or the
    official makes relevant conclusions and clarifies what the power
    wants from him and does it. But no high ranking representative of
    the power seems to have ever stated openly that this or that official
    does not fit the measurement of new quality so the official will be
    dismissed. "Bad officials and good king" Soviet "spectacle" is to be
    played. While, it has been several years, since in Armenia they dwell
    on qualitative changes. After assuming the office, each third speech
    of Serge Sargsyan and each second speech of Tigran Sargsyan regards
    modernization of quality. None of them has ever had the courage to
    touch the governmental mechanism.

    The mechanism, starting from self-propaganda organization ending with
    staff policy remained the same and even crystallized. The proof of
    this is that many staff changes happened in Armenia during the last
    two years, but the quality did not enhance because the quality change
    is the declared goal while the sincere goal is the crystallization
    of the existing quality.

    It is not ruled out that in Armenia, steps to change state officials
    will soon be taken up which will be based on Soviet mechanisms,
    moreover, elections are approaching and propaganda becomes one of the
    most important worries of the power. No doubt, no change of any state
    official will promote the quality of governance until first figures
    of the power are ready to start from the quality of their governance
    and change the mechanism of decision making. If the mechanism is
    the same, say, it distillates vodka, even if the tools are golden,
    nevertheless, the machine will distillate vodka and will never turn
    into a bread making machine.
