He is not a prime minister for us

April 26, 2017 Igor Yakovenko

The FBK investigation on the unrighteous treasures of Dmitry Medvedev continues to demonstrate its effectiveness. At first, 18 million people watched the materials of this investigation, setting a record of the audience interest in such products. Then these materials became a mobilizing factor in the organization of the action 03/26/2017, in which about 100 thousand people throughout the country took part. And now the Levada Center in his April survey recorded traces of this investigation in the minds of Russians.

The main trace - 45% of Russians advocate the resignation of Dmitry Medvedev. The question and answers to it look like this: it looks like this:

"Would you now have for or against sending the Prime Minister of Russia Medvedev?"

18% - definitely for

27% - rather for

25% - rather against

8% - definitely against

23% - I find it difficult to answer

Investigations of Navalny, of course, are not the only factor in the deterioration of the attitude of Russians towards Dmitry Medvedev. A noticeable economic decline and a decrease in the living standards of citizens are affected. Nevertheless, the FBK investigation greatly prompted Medvedev’s rating. Indirect evidence of this can be a reduction of three times those who completely trust Medvedev, it was during the publication of the investigation: in December 2016, they completely trusted the premiere of 9%, in April 2017-only 3%.

Apparently, Navalny chose the tactics of strokes at one point. Moreover, as this point, he chose the weakest link in the system of power. Since, firstly, the prime minister is responsible for those results of the country's economy that everyone is able to feel on himself, and secondly, Medvedev inside the vertical is listed as a liberal, which causes constant attacks on him “Parties of the War”, and thirdly, when Dmitry Anatolyevich reveals his mouth, a joke, whose hero himself Dmitry Anatolyevich, will certainly fly out of this mouth.

The next protest is scheduled for 06/12/2017. The organizer and slogans are the same as in the action on 03/26/2017. You can reproach Navalny that Medvedev is a “false target”. And this will be fair, since it is quite obvious that the owner of the duck, funny sneakers and vineyards is neither the creator of the current fascist regime, nor the main culprit of his crimes. All this is so. But Navalny’s actions have now become the only noticeable act of power resistance, which responds to a significant number of citizens and causing serious concern in power. And that's why these actions deserve support.
