Prisoners of conscience as a scoop

1. Theoria

There is a reliable mark that distinguishes civilization from barbarism: the principle of individual responsibility. The principle of liability of collective (solidarity) is opposed to him. That is, circular guarantee.

In Rus', it was introduced by the Golden Horde, which was underway to deal with each specific villager. It is more convenient to tax the entire community of Chokhu by tax (slaves, recruits) by tax (slaves, recruits). Do not obey - burn to the damn mother, so that others are disgraced. And there, let them understand themselves inside: this is not Khan.

The ideals of circular bail, community and solid responsibility due to simplicity and convenience were cultivated by power after the Horde. Although the little clock retreated under the pressure of economic interests. Labor productivity, management efficiency - all this forced to untie the hands of a private initiative. And, therefore, private responsibility. Therefore, the reforms of the Tsar-liberator were not limited to the abolition of serfdom, but included a revision of the judicial system and the expansion of zemstvo democracy.

The result was, on the one hand, a jerk of the economy (through the generation, Russia came out in the first place in the world in terms of industrial growth), demographic surge, lifting cities, trade, transport infrastructure and mobility of the population. On the other hand, I had to pay the collapse of the rural community and the emergence of the masses of Lumpen Proletariat, which fell out of a tough frame of circular discipline, but did not have time (could not have time?) To master the skills of urban life with its personal freedom and responsibility.

On this subject there was an interesting dispute between L.N. Tolstoy, who loved to bow to the one of Platosha Karataev for folk morality, communal property and other spiritual scrapers, and P.A. Stolypin, who advocated the private initiative of the reserved individual-kulak. The dispute ended in nothing: Tolstoy moved on personal insults (Stolypin, de, “the most miserable person”), and he in response preferred to get away from the discussion with an instructive old man in order to try to strengthen private right in practice.

A very Russian plot with a typical twist inside out: the humanist and the people actually defends the Asian model, and the soil, terry nationalist and monarchist - European economic freedoms. However, both were enough for a short while: the Bolsheviks were intercepted by the initiative, who, with barbaric generosity, promised the Lumpen Proletariat Common Happiness: will, collective property, the destruction of wealth and other thirty-three pleasures based on a barbaric desire to take and divide.

Property is just a material embodiment of a person. Contempt for property is contempt for personality. Hence contempt for the law, private law, court and the principle of individual responsibility. The revolutionary expediency was cheerful to the Horde ideals of equality in poverty and to circular bail. The executions of hostages (if the village does not give out bread to the expropriators or the town refuses to submit to the commissars), persecution on a class attribute - the most intelligible methods of educating collectivism.

Since then, two fundamental systems of values ​​coexist in the post -Soviet space with varying degrees of frankness. The trampled, but not destroyed and notly returning power is a drill-bourgeois-private, implying freedom and decentralization, and expropriation-butter-communist, implying a centralized robbery of land and population using a power vertical. In the terms of Ivan the Terrible - Zemstvo and oprichnina. In the terms of Vladimir Lenin - capitalism and socialism. In the terms of Vladimir Putin - business and security forces.

It is clear that urban civilization will eventually win, because a settled farm always defeats, tames and digested barbarians. But slowly. As long as dashing boys (earlier with mausers and party binders, today with gold pistols and deputy mandates) will turn into seasoned sedentary feudal lords, which in their own skin are aware of the usefulness of the law and private law, will led a lot of water. As well as oil, which is so pleasant to control with a pistol and a repressive machine. Well, and blood, probably, too. There is no reason for the security forces from the pipe in a kind of pipe: while Russia Doma is an invincible vertical. We still have to make a transition from post-Soviet neo-feudalism (which is still better than Soviet neo-workers) to the normal democracy of the urban (bourgeois) civilization. The convulsions of Moscow and Kyiv-the most advanced from the point of view of the socio-economic development of territories-only the beginning of a heavy and painful process.

Meanwhile, the inertia of sincere contempt for personality and private rights is alive and feels good. She manifests itself as a strange and unexpected way - including among fighters with the Putin regime.

Here is the “international amnesty” (such a bitch!) Allows themselves to consider the “swamp” prisoners individually, and not as a unified progressive collective united by circular guarantee. Panties, scoundrels, purebums and hypocrites! Look, they started to understand-someone kicked a lying cop, and someone just covered his head from the batons. All of them are an advanced detachment of justice fighters! All, then, rescue. Otherwise, there is nothing to take.

Pure water scoop on the march. Naturally, turned inside out. We do not have otherwise.

Excuse me, with what joy the “amnesty”, which grew up in a sociocultural environment, where the idea of ​​formal law and individual responsibility is cultivated for centuries, should follow your wild (although, undoubtedly sincere) ideas about justice? For her, it is fundamentally important in each case to observe legal correctness, and not to operate with children's concepts such as “our good guys” against “all bad cops”.

Well, a person must have a brain! Let small - but individual. And a person should at least be able to use it a little. You want it to be, as in Europe, but at the same time, that Europe meets your Asian expectations. A wonderful approach. Native to tears.

2. Practice

Was it difficult to catch the thick smell of a provocation hanging on May 6 over a small stone bridge? In vain, or something, the police organized a “bottleneck” there, in vain did the operators in the civilian service were grazing behind her?

I was there on the bridge. I watched closely. Cosmonauts tore my jeans and cut their hand. It was very diligent from the second row (the first at the same time was slightly parted, like a football wall at the time of a blow), they strove to give a boot through the eggs. I had to dodge. But the front limbs - again, like a football player in the penalty area - did not lift it. Tolerated. It is clear that they only had to: they want to organize a penalty. Or is it not clear?

Okay, there is no need to expect another from the Putin shobla. But the organizers! What kind of creatures in black jackets were busily climbed through the crowd and called to sit on asphalt? This is already, sorry, meanness. Or worse, stupidity. Slogging! Muscovites went to a peaceful, legal, free procession - with wives, some even with children. Old men with old women. And behind them, it turns out that a certain revolutionary bastard planned a mess and prepared scripts. Substituting people as a consumable.

Honestly, I then took these black characters as “ourselves” or FSBSHNOV. Most other participants in the crush, it seems, too. Few people sat on asphalt. The instinctive urban feeling worked: who are you to dispose of here here? Sit down, get up ... Just get dirty. We did not agree like that.

Unfortunately, later it turned out that these were not “nurses”, but the organizers. Thank you, comrades!

Without names: people are sitting, they are already hard. But still, what nerds should be to plan revolutionary exploits and at the same time conduct a drunken bargain with some kind of muddy Targamadze for a bunch of bucks! Hedgehog is clear that among true revolutionaries, every fifth knocks at the FSB. It has always been and will always be so. This is the sad norm of being: if they write to Yashin and Shenderovich, then you are even more so! In this case, someone Lebedev turned out to be a snot. The authorities had to be thrown to be thrown to testify in court. But there, in the coated ranks, there are probably also Ivanov, Petrov and Sidorov, who once a month meet with the Lubyansk curators. They simply cannot but be. Or is it still incomprehensible again, are you our precious conspirators?

So, the authorities through the informers knew in advance that the left -wing baldbes intend to arrange a buch. And I sincerely tried to help them in this, specially creating a crush and encouraging the situation. Porchoni flame revolutionaries and the guard are distinguished by love for provocation - to complete mutual satisfaction. Those on provocations earn stars, and these image of petrels. However, in the hobby of each other, both sides lose sight that the townspeople at the beginning of the XXI century are slightly different from the Lumpen-Proletariat of the hundred years ago. As well as from the thirsty Islamic justice of the inhabitants of the modern suburbs of Cairo, Tripoli and Damascus, also yesterday's villagers.

Collective responsibility is always personal irresponsibility. And the revolutionary lead shining after her: they say, the element of the masses! How without casualties?! So sacrifice yourself, if you were impatient, okay? And do not decide for others, they have their own head on their shoulders.

May 6, Moscow - the capital of individuals - behaved surprisingly competently. This is a great success that only a few dozen, mainly young, inexperienced or painfully unbalanced people succumbed to wiring power and revolutionaries. I suppose in high offices they expected a more bloody outcome. To untie your hands to the end. Alas, it did not work out. Modeling tooth enamel is still a liquid to attempt to a coup, right? True, Krasnobai Edichka still remained in their deck, but this something has been blown away recently. The pension is just around the corner.

3. Intermediate results

Meanwhile, despicable lawyers, experts, members of the Human Rights Council, international human rights organizations patiently write a million pieces of paper, collect testimonies, prove the disproportion of the fault of each specific sites - in the individual, I ask you to notice, the order. They bow to Putin, they demolish arrogant smirks, carry them with a humiliating project of an amnesty-in order to somehow help girls and boys, in their indistinguishability or by an alien meanness, who fell under the planned distribution.

And the fighters for the people's will, therefore, also put claims to them: they say, you have no conscience! Cowards you, gentlemen, human rights activists! Wolves are shameful and shallow. Either we, the eagles of the revolution.

Actually, there are no complaints about petrels: what a demand is with them. If the left had brains, they would not be left. Well, the comrades like to walk in construction, wear black shirts, observe a conspiracy, enjoy the feeling of an elbow, tightly, like a man, reaping each other (including TT Lebedev, Ivanov, Petrov ...) and believe that if Putin’s place to put someone else, honest and impeccable, then justice and a bright future will come. What can I say: God forbid health.

Only an old woman-Moscow can no longer buy this. She saw justice and a bright future. Moscow (as well as Kyiv) is interested in compliance with laws and ensuring rights. The capitals need not stories about the folk king, but responsible, functional and replaced power. The power of the Chekists from the cooperative "Lake" or Bratkov from Donetsk is not by definition. In a first approximation, this can be called a European choice.

The line is indicated for a long time and quite clearly. Or, as the citizen and the European Aristotle said, "what is legal is true." Or, as the keepers of spiritual bonding and circular bail, "is true that is folk." Modestly silent at the same time that the law is a clearly spelled out formula (with all the pros and cons of formalism), and the “nationality” is insanely blurry and in fact is always interpreted in its favor. Was the sovereign-priest? Was. But Pugachev too! And comrade Stalin is deeply folk: dear father! And Mr. Putin with his Popular Front. What will the head of the transport tell us about the nationality of street protest? Discount to blue: Favorite fun for the progressive public.

The question is much more acute and more interesting to whether President Putin, drawn to power with the help of mass electoral falsifications, is legal . But Big Russia has not yet been ripened before him. The capital is perhaps.

To pull the people's sidelski from the coarse, of course, it is necessary. Because, firstly, it’s a pity, and secondly, it is illegal. Using all available legal levers for this. In an individual basis - for we are talking about specific court cases, and not about the wolf Whee to the moon of injustice. However, (when they go out of the way) merge with them in a nationwide round dance, knowing in advance that you are being held for the mass, which you can use the “generally” use to storm administrative heights - fire.

This is Moscow, gentlemen, not a fool from the alley. Putin's lads for a long time not sweet. But it does not follow from this that she is ready to be carried away by revolutionary demagogues. There are no resources for the revolution in it - too expensive and stupid is a pleasure. There are resources for evolution.

The above is true for Kyiv. Maidan is wonderful, but not finally. Just part of the process. Mass peaceful actions, along with other methods of pressure on power and protecting civil interests, is a sign of normal European policy. As, by the way, the appeal of the "international amnesty".
