In the opposition

Lech-publicist

October 13, 2010 Alexander Ryklin

Amazing characters sometimes emerge from muddy "apple" depths and try to assert themselves among normal people. For a rather long time, a blogger entertaining the “Echo of Moskvy” website, speaking under the nickname Alexei Melnikov, publicist, entertains an venerable audience. Noteworthy, agree, Nick. It follows that a person identifies himself quite specifically and even with a claim, as if justifying his stay on the screen of my computer. Such unceremonious napness, if it is supported by the ability to add up not quite meaningless sentences from words, undoubtedly has the right to exist. Today, when everyone who was not lazy began to write (my microwave sometimes gives completely fantastic texts on their display), it is necessary to somehow attract the attention of readers.

Honestly, several times I safely swallowed this bait - how many publicists have many in our country? - But, thank God, not very deep. Because, having eaten after a couple of clumsy phrases, he invariably lost the thread of the story and lost the opportunity to trace the flight of author’s thought. However, I am ready to write off all these failures on my own inability to appreciate modern political prose. And the author exercises in this genre. I would not resume attempts to draw for myself something useful from the work of “Alexei Melnikov, Publicist”, if I had not accidentally stumbled upon his next opus, in which he, with all the “apple” directness, collapses into a new coalition of democratic forces. Seeing the noun “marginality” in the first paragraph, I promised myself to read this post to the end. Whatever it costs me. (I’ll say right away - it cost a lot ...)

The text is called "Bear, Bear, where is your smile?" I thought it was about Kasyanov, and then I was ready to satisfy the author’s curiosity - I saw Mikhail Mikhailovich just the other day and I can testify that a smile is in place. As always-wide and radiant ... But the fact of the matter is that “Alexei Melnikov, the publicist” for some reason calls the “Mishka” ... President Medvedev: “The main in position in the country“ Bear ”was almost recognized by the head of the radicals (they shouted enthusiastically that“ Medvedev was becoming an independent politician! ”)” ””

Well, okay, in the end, we have freedom of speech or what? He did not call Medvedev an Adolf and not even Saddam. So there is no extremism here, and we will not find fault with trifles ... And not for this I was tormented for ten minutes, I tried to delve into the meaning of bizarre phrases. (As you, dear, is such a phrase: “It is quite clear that for this type of attitude, the reflection of its own actions is dangerous. It can easily destroy this illusory world.” The author is funny-the author is apparently sure that he writes in Russian ...)

I just wanted to understand what is wrong with us with a radical opposition ... Well, besides the fact that we are all “marginal” and do not pose a threat to the “system” ... I honestly read the whole post from beginning to end and did not find anything except the couple before the author of the grated stamps. So the question is: why was it idle to spend a remarkable journalistic talent?

Maybe the whole point is that, according to a survey of the Levada Center, the popularity of the marginal coalition, which started a week ago, is already several times higher than that of the "oldest democratic party in Russia"? The annoyance of the “apple” people is clear ... Well, pour it on us somehow convincing ... Because the texts of “Alexei Melnikov, publicist” of goodwill will not read to the end ...
