Fist of Fate

A wild story happened with the son of deputy Savelyev - some people grabbed him, tried to push him into a car, he barely fought back... Nonsense! But recently the same “nonsense” happened to the son of another Rodina deputy, Markelov. Considering that March 25th is the Rodina congress, where it seems that according to the authorities’ scenario they should “take down Rogozin,” then perhaps this pre-congress discussion is in full swing?

There are several options.

Still a coincidence and still hooligans (although still very strange hooligans!).

Or such “internal party squabbles.” Greetings from the authorities.

The last option is, of course, the creepiest. It would seem that we live in Moscow. Are we really mistaken and we are already in Minsk? Or in Makhachkala? Or in Bogota? “And from the platform they say: this is the city of Leningrad.”

I am disgusted by the activities of Deputy Savelyev, the author of the book “The Racial Meaning of the Russian Idea.” He did one good deed in his life - he beat Monsieur Zhirinovsky, honor and praise to him for that. The rest is “darkness and fog.” But, for mercy’s sake, if the authorities finally have claims against Savelyev, then present them to SAVELYEV! Take his book - really, there is something to read in there! Remember the letter about the “ban of Jews”, one of the organizers of which was Savelyev. Yes, there is a lot to remember... This is a normal, open POLITICAL struggle. But if you imagine (even for a moment) that the authorities have at least some, even the most indirect, relation to what happened to his (and not only his!) son... Well, I won’t comment further - out of modesty.

In this regard, a few rhetorical questions.

The first one is addressed to Savelyev’s colleagues in the Duma. If only a hundredth of the energy that you spent on ritual dancing around the corpse of Milosevic, you spent on protecting your colleagues, on investigating attacks on their children! Of course, you don’t care about voters, but where is the sacred - where is your CORPORATE solidarity? Is this really not the case? “Today you, and tomorrow me.” “Everyone for himself, one Kremlin for everyone.”

Second question. To Savelyev himself. Here you are fighting - with Jews, Americans, blacks, Caucasians, liberals... But your son was attacked - not by Jews, not by blacks, not by Americans, not by Caucasians, not by liberals (I hope you don’t doubt this). So, maybe the threat to all of Russia does not come from those you put your life into fighting?

I am writing this because Savelyev seems to me to be a person... unhealthy, but (maybe that’s why!) quite sincere. Maybe, oh, miracle, this “brown Don Quixote” will realize that he is storming the wrong windmills? Well, your family was attacked. And who sympathizes with you, who gives you a platform? “Radio Tel Aviv”, as your colleagues lovingly call “Echo of Moscow”. Not strange, no?

"The fist of fate opened his eyes." This was said by a “classic of political thought” (as one Echo listener explained to me), a “classic” whose ideas Savelyev popularizes to the best of his ability. Maybe the “fist of fate” will open his (Savelyev’s) eyes? Nothing opened the eyes of the “classic”; even in burning Berlin, the “classic” continued to explain in his “testament” that it was, naturally, all “international Jewry” who were fighting against him... Well, yes, the “classic” had nowhere to go . But Savelyev (or his other “relatives”) may come to their senses, look not only at the works of the “classic”, but also just around themselves?

You are sowing hatred and intolerance. You are supporters of violence “against the enemies of Russia.” What if they write you down as an enemy? By the way, this can be done not necessarily by the authorities, but by any other cool patriots. Well, you argued with them, but they are not liberals, tea! One or two - and now you are already an “enemy”, and “enemies”, of course, are treated like an enemy.

You are supporters of “strong power” opposing the “world behind the scenes”. By the way, the current government is still not strong enough for you - it is still bending to the “behind the scenes”, it must be even stronger. Excellent, sir. So, by the time things get to the “behind the scenes”, a strong government can test its power on you, so to speak, “beat your own so that strangers will be afraid.” “Strangers” are far away, they probably won’t recognize or be afraid, but “our own people” will get it in nuts...

Maybe an open Russia, a liberal government, the one with “so-called human rights”, with protection of minority rights, would be better? No? Are you sure? Still sure?

You are not in power. But it is your patriotic-power-nationalist ideology that has become dominant, the hated liberal-Westerners have been defeated “outright.” Do you feel better? Are you happy? If only the power would become a little sharper - and everything would be completely... chocolate? Isn't it?

“Stalin-Beria-Gulag,” the Limonovites cheerfully shouted. After Limonov visited - not at all in the Gulag - these screams from them stopped. What's so? Did you want strong, that is, police power? The order is completed! Will Pushkin pay the bill?

But ideology is a sticky thing. “A madman cannot change his delusions like socks. If you called yourself the Viceroy of India, you will remain so.” So Limonov remained with his wonderful name, with his charming symbols, with his nationalism (even if not for internal use, but for export - the fight against the Americans, etc.). And now he is preaching revolution. Well, he tried “strong power” and doesn’t want it anymore. Now he wants to try the Russian revolution? “Lock the floors,/Today there will be robberies!/Unlock the cellars—/Today there is a robber on the loose!” And, note: neither liberals, nor Jews, nor Americans, nor blacks will definitely “walk”! Even about Caucasians - oh, I doubt it.

So are you fighting against them, Mr. Savelyev? And is there really such a great “racial meaning” in the Russian idea? Or should we look for some completely different meaning in it?

Believe me, gentlemen, I am not gloating at all. Like any (I hope!) normal person, I more than sympathize with the family of Markelov and Savelyev, I’m glad that everything turned out relatively well (after all, they only wanted to “scare”). A person differs from a fascist in that he is able to sympathize, regardless of any “ideological differences.” But... will you really blame the “enemies of Russia” even in this situation and not think about your activities?
