Kashin's case

Now, when nothing threatens his life, you can take a breath, mentally turn over the binoculars - and try to consider the situation again and entirely, as if from afar ... and see a couple of side but important stories in the story of an attack on Oleg Kashin.

The first looks almost moralizing, but what to do: history loves to poke such indicating fingers!

Upon learning of that criminal, everyone gasped - but some gasped with a special, almost mystical feeling, remembering the three years ago the attack of other unknown people on National Bolsheviks Chervochkin.

The main significant difference between these two cases is that Chervochkin did not survive after hitting the head with pieces of reinforcement.

The second, less significant, but noticeable difference is that neither Kashin nor his then comrades in “patriotic” journalism (alas, liberals) after the death of the National Academy of Sciences of Chervochkin did not go to the protest picket to Petrovka, and the Kashinsky “Russian magazine” responded to the death of the young man already a textbook, contemptuous-davailable “this is politics, children. They can be killed here. ”

I hope Oleg has enough distance vision to evaluate the path of this boomerang ...

I hope he will also remember the crippled ordinary Sychev, whose misfortune he met with an indicative composure, accusing the “soldiers' mothers” of dramatization of this story, of direct lies and provocations against the authorities ...

When the journalist himself lay in intensive care, balancing between life and death, this version tested by time (about the false democrats who are trying to get hold of political capital on someone else's trouble) almost literally sounded from the lips of Mr. Shevchenko ...

Well, Shevchenko - he is Shevchenko (no comment), and there is no need to wait for evolution here, but what instructive pack boomerangs sometimes returns to a person!

And finally, the main thing that is worth paying close attention to Oleg Kashin, but to all of us.

The list of potential “customers” of Kashinsky beating, walking around the media for the third week, is not too wide and all fits into the simple single -party range between Governor Turchak (the adjective is attached), the mayor of Strelchenko and the Federal Minister Yakemenko. As they say, I don't want to walk. And nothing in our latest collective experience prevents one of the three candidates, isn't it?

That's it.

The political evolution of journalist Kashin gave a dramatic but almost scientific opportunity to compare the results with the results of the “control group”.

When, not choosing a vocabulary too much, he spoke out to the opposition, he remembered, objected - in words. When the authorities became the object of a journalistic attack, Kashin received a reinforcement on the head.

As Hamlet said - "Here is the answer." Unless, of course, you still had questions.
