In society

Sorry

I want to publicly repent. For I am one of those who, as in a spiritual session, tried to cause the spirit of Alexander II all the time and saw his possible reincarnation in the now almost former President Dmitry Medvedev. It turned out that I was still too naive and not by age idealist. Well, these are my problems. I can handle them somehow. But the porridge, which was brewed by experts in political cooking, the whole country will now get out.

Having learned about the strategic “scattering” within our supreme power, I, like dozens of my friends, familiar my friends, millions of my fellow citizens (I saw joy only on TV, at the congress of “United Russia” - I have never encountered enjoying people), I experienced only bitterness and disgust. And of course, disappointment.

Well, you say, it was still clear for a long time. It's clear. But still I wanted a miracle. He did not happen. Finita La Comedia. Dead end. And not that this scenario is the worst and terrible. Maybe for someone the best-who knows? .. But it is disgusting from all this vicious circle, from these gamous faces, from "puppeteous" procedures. Be sick.

On the other hand, there is a certain relief. As it happens when you find out the diagnosis. Well, a bad diagnosis, but everything is clear, there is no uncertainty, there are no illusions - no psychosomatics.
And the treatment method is clear - to blame: from the country, from active participation in its life, from the space of experience for it. Who, but to bring down - if not out of sight, then out of the heart.

The most cynical in this whole story is the Tandem’s statement (now only mocking quotes are appropriate) that everything has been decided for a long time, that this option was considered four years ago. So, the analogy with Simeon Bekbulatovich is not so banal, and everything that was demonstrated by citizens as an intrigue of choice is even more banal wiring? Although I still do not think that it was exactly. I think this is a "good mine." Doesn't matter. Nevertheless, it will be extremely difficult for me to seriously perceive the statements and acts of Medvedev, despite his possible future liberal exploits as prime minister. Oh, these disappointing people, they do not forgive those who so cruelly disappointed them. Although, if humanly, maybe Medvedev just needs to regret ...

I do not want to go into reasoning: who and what as a result of this simple combination acquired. But who has lost what ... I think many have lost the last illusions. Who behaves like that after that, he alone: ​​who will fence off the politics, having built a shield for himself with different strengths, who, on the contrary, will go to the riot police shields with an open climb; Someone, as I said, will prepare a place of residence.

One way or another, but the country, due to the extracts and contempt for it from the authorities, will lose the energy and faith of many decent citizens that have lost in it. And with whom will Russia remain for many years? What kind of country is this that it is so famously scattered good and smart people? ..

No matter how many greedy and hypocrites are rally around the authorities, after all, someone needs to do: to treat, teach, build, plow, invent ... and professional and decent people are already a shortage. And this human resource will soon be missing even more.

Therefore, I am even ready to admit that it will withstand the economy and the political system for some time. But what exactly will let down is the “human factor”.
