Brave people

I look at the list of Putin’s confidants with interest.

There seems to be nothing to be surprised about: the usual set of “VIPs” of culture and sports. Throughout the Putin years, this obliging shoal accompanied our big federal fish - we had time to be sad for those we loved and laugh at those who never aroused any feelings other than contempt.

And so - everything seems to be the same, but the feeling is new.

Time has changed. Context, damn it...

Arshavin and the Zapashny brothers can be forgiven for not feeling this matter, but it is strange that those who are equipped with a subtle soul and at least somehow informed do not feel this.

According to this last parameter, we will, for example, consider Anna Netrebko a saint. Well, she didn’t descend into our lowlands from the third octave, I don’t know. But most of the list are deeply local people who practice...

We are not talking about the owner of MK Gusev or the lawyer Kucheren - nothing can cause moral discomfort to people of this caliber - we are talking about those who imagine the content of the word "reputation" and minimally value this concept...

From his very appearance on the political surface, Putin was a cheap populist with thieves' hooks; There are no moral evolutions here and are not expected, but until recently you could at least pretend that you don’t understand this. That you believe this rhetoric, that you are fascinated by this simplicity that is worse than theft...

Today it will no longer be possible to fool this conscientious little guy.

Quantity has turned into quality; what was in the air thickened and became obvious. The answer to the question “Who is Mr. Putin?” received final and pronounced aloud and loudly - by the people.

The leader of the “party of swindlers and thieves” - a thieving party that finally got caught stealing. The head of the corporation that usurped power, and the symbol of this corporation.

The boor, after all, is just an ordinary boor.

Does this need to be explained to Yuri Temirkanov and Yuri Bashmet? Alice Freundlich? Tabakov, Menshov, Tarasova?

Elite…

You surprised me. This time they surprised us greatly - with their desperate courage! you all have become has committed and will continue to commit A fundamental readiness to answer to Russia for all the criminality that the person whose faces .

I imagined your faces differently.

It’s not that it’s nice to meet you, but I’ll keep it in mind.
