Young people have long been an eyesore. And not only the current government. Young people dared to play sports, throwing pucks or playing football until nightfall. Young people went hiking, baked potatoes in the fire, and played the guitar. These shameless youth had the audacity to get involved in creativity, go to clubs and circles. And she even went into politics. She studied music, loved to dance, she lived and loved.
What is not a reason to put her under house arrest, prohibiting her from leaving the house unaccompanied? And the president, without further ado, signed amendments to the law “On Basic Guarantees of the Rights of the Child in the Russian Federation.” As has long been the case in Rus', the law on guarantees of rights, while changing, leaves less and less of these rights.
From now on, students (and many of them are under 18 at first) cannot earn extra money after studying. He is old enough to go to another city to go to college, but legally not old enough to leave the dormitory threshold. Astronomy as a hobby is now completely prohibited. From now on, young astronomers will be able to go out at night with a telescope only if accompanied by security guards. Graduates will not be able to greet the dawn with the whole class after graduation - they will have to wait until they come of age. And this law is especially cynical towards boys. The first day when a healthy forehead can go outside the door on its own after 10 pm is the day when a representative of the military registration and enlistment office will be waiting for him at the door. You can’t bring water from a well in the evening, but you can become a Suvorov or Nakhimov student.
You try sincerely to see at least some sense in the new law, but you don’t see it. This monstrous legal squiggle demonstrates the attitude of the authorities towards young people. Young people, according to the authorities, do not study, do not work, do not dream, do not love. She just hangs around in hot places and creates problems. Such is the idyllic “bearish” picture.
Opponents may object. Like, it’s so dangerous on the streets that it’s simply scary for our youth, but how will they face a criminal?
Dear opponents, I also feel sorry for women if they encounter criminals. Maybe we should also ban them from being seen on the street after ten in the evening? If you don’t have time to finish your work, you’ll spend the night in the office, right? And I feel sorry for men too. Why do they have to die? Let's ban everyone from leaving the house in the evening. There will be beauty! No crime.
I see this as a simple idea. If it became so scary on the streets that young people were put under arrest, maybe the chief of police should be fired along with the heads of the FSB? If they can’t cope, it’s not the citizens who need to be tortured, but the security forces should be dispersed.
By the way, about the security forces. Now imagine a teenager who ended up in the police. Firstly, what kind of vocabulary will he be enriched with? Secondly, how many types of torture and beatings will he learn? And, finally, how the police themselves will enrich themselves, having at hand the opportunity to legally stop teenagers and shake out pocket change from them. We must understand that all this enrichment can be done instead of patrolling dark squares, looking for criminals, making the streets safer. The police often violate the rights of adult citizens, what can we say about teenagers!
Okay, but maybe the legislators, together with the president, care about the younger generation and want to preserve it. Let's look at this too. Young people will get TV instead of football, fishing, dancing, and bowling. They don’t care about the hobbies of the young, they don’t care about their affections, they will sit within four walls and watch crime TV programs.
Perhaps the young people will be surprised why this is happening, how it is like this and why. And here it is. You didn’t look at how your grandmother voted at one time. We missed watching mom and dad vote. And they cast a ballot for Medvedev and for United Russia. And so, young people, you are now under arrest. And be still glad. Maybe tomorrow they will force you to walk around in handcuffs. Exclusively for the sake of guaranteeing your rights, youth.
Some ruled the state at the age of 14, some ruled the regiment at 16, some accomplished their first exploits, discoveries, and inventions. But this is no longer about Russian youth. While the whole world is growing up, our children will sit on chains under the supervision of the police.
However, all is not lost. The arrest does not last around the clock yet. There is still daytime. And it should be used profitably, because opposition rallies are organized during the day. For you, young people, lack of freedom is already a reality. Would you like to throw off your chains?
