Russian television footage showed Putin wearing headphones, sitting in the co-pilot seat, use the control buttons from river water, and sprayed burning in a forest, the success in putting out a fire point.

Rare in the history of hot dry weather caused serious forest and peat fires, have resulted in 52 deaths and more than 3,500 people homeless. "Underground weatherman" agency head 杰夫马斯特 expected, the high temperature and drought this summer, Russia will lead to at least 1.5 million people.

heavy losses, so that the Russian media anger. "Moscow Communist Youth League newspaper," a comment that "no emergency power system capacity is a challenge to the whole time now? Otherwise why do we 'support' the President, the Prime Minister, ministers, governors, military officers and even the military do?"

Chinese Academy of Social Sciences pointed out that Russian experts Jiang Yi, the Russian forest fires every year, so many officials do not attach importance to this issue. This year, extreme high temperatures and large fires, exposed the Russian local officials in a number of issues, including their working attitude, plans to incidents and preparations are not adequate.

starting from early in August, Medvedev began to personally "supervise operations," Kang Yi that the pressure in the upper layer, the local fire fighting efforts to make progress, it shows that local officials in the Russian bureaucracy is also very heavy, the lack of serious and responsible attitude.

fire will not affect Russia's political landscape, even as western media influence, "Mape combination" mean? Kang Yi, said in a serious disaster after the Russian high-level performance was satisfactory. Both Mei, general division of labor, or the attitude reflected "Mape combination" of the overall control of the situation, as well as Russia's bureaucratic precision grasp. "This kind of control officials from Medvedev to replace all on-site can be closed quickly decided to see it."
