сочинение о корнях таиландской суверенной демократии Смешная история https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kukrit_Pr When George Englund decided to use Thailand as the location for the fictional country portrayed in his film The Ugly American, Kukrit was appointed as cultural advisor to make sure the film accurately portrayed monarchy in a Buddhist country. Englund had difficulty casting the part of the fictional Prime Minister, but he was so impressed by Kukrit's cultural refinement and mastery of English that he offered him the part, saying, "I can't think of anyone who could play it better." Kukrit accepted, saying, according to Englund, "We are all actors anyway, and I think you're right that I could play it better than anyone." Probably because of this, after he became a real-life Prime Minister of Thailand in 1975, the word "Sarkhan" has entered the Thai language as a nickname of Thailand itself, often with a slight self-depreciating or mocking tone. Про Кукрита Прамота, знаменитого тайского ученого и писателя, основателя первой тайской политической партии ("Партии Прогресса"). В комментариях смешная история как Кукрит Прамот был премьер-министром. ...I can't fix them, but the articles on Kukrit, Seni, and their predecessor, Sanya Dharmasakti, do not do the times justice, and I cannot do else but Talk. Sanya Dharmasakti was appointed PM 1973-75 when I was with the US Air Force Strategic Air Command on Guam. He had been dean of Thammasat University when a riot by its students, precipitated by the King's youngest daughter, then also a student there, caused the Dictatorship of the Terrible Trio to mis-read the situation as a planned coup, and to flee the country on whatever aircraft were about to take off from Don Muang, thus landing them in three different countries and leaving Thailand with no government. The King called Sanya and made him PM on the grounds that it was his students who had caused the problem. Sanya soon declared the country ungovernable and resigned, only to have the King appoint him back again. The next time Sanya resigned, he immediately shaved his head and wrapped himself in monk's robes. A hasty election gave Seni's Democrat Party a slim majority, with Kukrit heading a faction that held just five seats. Seni formed and presented his government to the King, who accepted it, but Parliamentarians, jealous of their prerogatives, returned a vote of 'no confidence' when Seni subsequently presented it to them. Thailand once again faced a situation of no government, but rather than go through the considerable expense to everybody involved of calling new elections, Seni's younger brother, Kurit, with his five seats was allowed to cobble together a coalition to form a government. "[C]onsidered by many to be one of the great statesmen" of Thailand, not the least because Kukrit was the PM who ordered the US military out of Thailand as all of the dominoes were falling down. The actual situation was such that the US military wanted to leave while the US State Department wanted us to stay, with the situation being exactly the reverse on the Thai side; though Kukrit's decision on ordering us out was based on our flouting of Kukrit's understanding of International Law and his own orders with regard to the military assets of the crumbling regime in Saigon then in US hands in Thailand. Kukrit found Thailand to be as ungovernable as had Sanya before him, and dissolved Parliament in a call for early elections. Under most parliamentarian systems, a politician can stand for election in any district he chooses, and Kukrit chose to stand for election on a military post at a time when the Thai military had its own political party, thus insuring his honorable defeat. Seni's Democrat Party again won a majority, but his next government fell when the Police, seeking revenge for the earlier student riot when the kids burned down the brand-new Police Headquarters, staged a "student revolt", using paid agents from among Bangkok's many vocational schools, who always raise general Hell on general principles, anyway. The Police then 'framed' Thammasat University students in what came to be called the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6_October_ tried to put down what was a Police revolt by riding on top of a pickup truck with a loud hailer, appealing to all sides for Jai Yen-Yen, cool hearts. Lee 11:15, 15 June 2007 (UTC) Сени Прамот, который был премьер-министром до и после Кукрита - его брат, тоже демократический политик. Закончилась демократическая оттепель, как всегда в Таиланде, весьма плохо: боевики-лоялисты из числа добровольных инициативников по указанию короля устроили бойню в университете, и кровавая военщина в очередной раз свергла демократическое правительство. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6_October Собственно, тот пиздец, который сейчас происходит в Таиланде, принято отсчитывать именно от этого момента; считается, что октябрь 1976-го была поворотная точка, за которой последовал окончательный раскол элит, взаимное битье тарелок и требование суда и расправы. Это я вместо того, чтобы работать, читаю http://prachatai.org/english/node/1292 "Thai-Style Democracy": A Conservative Struggle for Thailand's Politics сочинение американского профессора о корнях таиландской суверенной демократии, там рассказывается, что все изобрел Кукрит Прамот.
