37th light

From my point of view, we are really moving there. Come on, they say adherents of a new order and just indifferent. The scale is little comparable. Here, about the scale in more detail.

I talked a lot with both historians and with those from whom the repressions passed directly. The sensations are like that. Many arrested believed that everything that happened to them was a monstrous mistake made in relation to a particular person. There were those who absolutely clearly understood the situation, but they had no opportunity to broadcast their knowledge. As well as the relatives of the arrested and executed. Employees of the repressive machine were silent for obvious reasons.

Propaganda worked for the belief that everything that was happening is right. The rhetoric of newspaper strips, meetings of labor groups and simply conversations was unambiguous. The more people fall under the rink, the more successful we are fighting with enemies. And it was no accident that the report of Khrushchev at the twentieth congress became such a shock. Well, really, they did not know, they did not represent the size. They did not want to analyze the available information and draw conclusions.

Then it seems that the Vegetarian Brezhnev period came, about which one can also hear about today: “Well, such as now, the quantities ... maniacs or, I don’t know, animals in police uniforms, rich loafers ... there were no ...”. How do you know, good gentlemen? The newspaper Pravda, or something, had to describe the operation with the detainee and a bottle of champagne? Of course not.

And now the picture of today's Russia. It is difficult to make complaints against rural spectators of the central channels. Although they know everything that happens in the country, on the scale of a particular area or region. The rate of Internet distribution is considerable today. As a result, any network user has the opportunity (for now !!!) to find out about any lawlessness being created in the country. Residents of large cities click this data, like seeds. Recently I met Misha Sokolova on Echo and completely agreed with him that the daily portion of morning news was getting worse and worse. So, everyone knows everyone. About the lie. About corruption. About lawlessness. About injustice. About the permissiveness of the ruling and the complete lack of rights of the rest. About cuts and kickbacks. And so, armed with all this information, we shrug and go further. You ask me, what are you suggesting? Yes, in fact, nothing. I’m just horrified how it is: everyone knows everything, but at least something does a small part of the people who are going among themselves, are attacked from the outside, and are accused of wanting to go to bread places. Well, this is wrong, you say to yourself. And you object to yourself: well, of course, they slept for 12 years, but now we want to change everything in one fell swoop? It won't work.

But here's what you need to clearly realize. There are already no excuses for any passive sympathy, I repeat, everyone knows everything about power, about the vertical, about methods and goals. The abroad will not help us, because what, in fact, should we help us? They have their own problems, they have a real politician, they have accepted the Magnitsky list, and enough. The story itself with Magnitsky occurred with the connivance of those who are called high government officials, the second option is forced to cover the guilty people, because they themselves have a stigma in a cannon. Therefore, you yourself understand, the list of Magnitsky is not full. And everyone also knows this.

Repressive laws, produced in Russia in Russia 2012, cause a lethargic condemnation of the world community, but this is a lot. In the end, why should we do for us that we ourselves, how would it be more recently expressed, have passed? The so-called enemy voices of the period of the 70s set their main task to replenish the information vacuum of the official Soviet media: a notification of those who wish about what is happening without bills and lies. They were jammed, these voices, their listeners could happen in trouble and other. That is, receiving information at that time was not quite easy and comfortable in itself. Today, receiving information is not the slightest problem for any of those who want to get any livestock immediately on the video on the network, isn't it? Another thing is that against the backdrop of the abundance of information, the cynicism with which laws are violated, the rights are trampled and the nuts are twisted, this cynicism, in my opinion, is unprecedented. But there are those who have enough experience of a neighbor, acquaintance or even unfamiliar to say “enough!”, And there are those who are waiting for their own club on the head. Until everyone will wait, we are doomed to live in the 37th light. This period is less bloody - for now, but much more cynical and depraved.

What am I? To the fact that, on the one hand, it turns out that a purely information expansion of protest, in my opinion, is not enough. I repeat once again - everyone knows everything. But, on the other hand, tell me someone a year ago, that on December 10, one hundred thousand would go to the square, I would not believe it either, because then everyone knew everything. In this situation, there is one factor in influence. To date, the Russian authorities slowly gets everyone, one by one, the protest will expand at the expense of those who will be taken tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. And what, it turns out, the development of events again depends on the authorities, and not on us? Maybe do not wait until they get it, but be pleased that you already know?
