Why do people want to become a lawmaker? Perhaps, each of them has his own reason. However, the main trend is clear: people want to protect and enhance their wealth, and opportunely, they have the real chances to become a lawmaker. Therefore, the former officials and oligarchs “enter politics” and tend to Parliament which this time will be involved in shaping the executive power; they see some risk that if they remain out of this process they may be deprived of certain things. Who if not they should perfectly know that the property in the country is not protected, they know how it is done, once they were holding both the nail and the hammer in their hands.
But besides these purely material interests, there is also a “spiritual” component. No, this is not what they say, “to take this country out of this difficult situation”. This is what we can roughly call a “showing off”, “frivolity”. In other words, a person who may have suffered from deprivation and humiliation in childhood and youth years is self-affirmed when the prideful addition “deputy” appears next to his name. Such people feel “kaif” when they park their expensive cars on Demirchyan Street in the third line and enter the “building of Central Committee” with a proud stance.”
Eventually, these people no matter what they are called: government, opposition, non-government, or alternative, are a separate “caste”, a sect, an “elite” which suggests that they will never use fixed-route buses or a metro, will never go to buy bread in the evening, will never take bread and cheese with them to workplace for lunch. Their “frivolity” is composed of these “nevers” and their being cut off the life and the rest of the population.
But several “good things” never happen in one place. Along with protecting money and wealth and deputy “show off” comes also a certain malice, jealousy, envy and so on. Life turn out for them a “constant fight under the sun”, a luxury, a competition of “businesses” and size of houses, and God forbid if they do not get along with each other (if their waters do not flow in the same stream), they begin such an ugly and unpleasant squabble that you immediately want them to reconcile. The morals in the “elite” are different.

… During 22 years, a few dozen of people left their jobs with “Aravot”. The vast majority keeps a warm and friendly relationship with me and the rest currently employees of “Aravot”. I am not afraid to say that we love each other. When the waters are pure, it does not matter who is the river and who is the stream. What a great thing that “Aravot” is not a political party.
