In the opposition

The thoughtlessness of the brave ...

June 23, 2011 Alexander Ryklin

Of course, the easiest way to say now: “Well, who would doubt that the current regime would never register Parnassus, a party in which, whatever Speaker to take - Nemtsov, Kasyanov or Ryzhkov - all carry Putin to what the light is worth it ... And Medvedev does not forget.” Well, in fact, we say.

However, in the whole story with the legalization in the domestic political space the only opposition party (not the “apple” with the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Communist Party) there are cute, touching details. For example, just the other day, the Minister of Justice Konovalov (they say, Medvedevsky) made, one might say, with a revolutionary proposal - to generally cancel the registration of non -profit public organizations. Say, why is it needed? I immediately wanted to thank the Minister with stormy and long applause. But today this desire somehow came to naught ...

It would seem, in the logic of amazing in their democracy, transparency and courage of Konovalov’s proposals on the way to our beautiful non -registration future, at least not refuse those who, following the existing dragon law, submitted all the necessary documents to the Ministry of Justice. But Minister Konovalov (or nevertheless Putin?), We must think, relies on some other logic. That is, the chatter is chatter, and the matter is a matter.

And Parnassus did not register ... Sorry. It is a pity, because a lot of time, effort and, by the way, money was spent ... But this is not the main thing - tens of thousands of people were to one degree or another, were involved in party construction, in the creation of a new public organization. And the ratings were wow. What surveys you are, they all testify that Parnassus confidently overcomes a seven percent barrier. That is, public support practically guaranteed the passage to the lower ward. However, it is also clear that sociology is sociology, and most likely, no one would have allowed the democrats to the Duma of Democrats. In this regard, the voices of skeptics are reasonably and convincingly sounded: they say, why was there so much time, effort, money, why to awaken in people obviously unrealizable hopes, if it was clear that it was anyway from this venture to play with shulers according to their shyra rules (the legislation on this score has a giant number of traps to refuse to register any batch) - nothing will come of it? It seems that you can’t argue. And yet ...

The sociology mentioned above also indicates that people who are aware of the Putin rule, its destructiveness for Russia, until recently, believed that an honest opposition party, which has drawn on its banner, the demand to change the current ruling regime, worthy of representing their interests in the legislative body of our country. It is in this format - the United Democratic Party. I drove several regions, attended several meetings that established the regional branches of Parnas, and I testify to the idea: the idea to try to create the party turned out to be relevant, popular and, most importantly, in demand. And as a result - undoubtedly the increased mobilization activity of citizens. Of course, the coalition effect played a large positive role. Still, Boris Nemtsov, Mikhail Kasyanov and Vladimir Ryzhkov not only have already proved their uncompromising rejection of the Putin regime, they are also federal level policy, which demonstrated their readiness to act together.

Today we are all - both party activists, and those who were just ready to support Parnassus in the elections - the authorities spat in the face. So, we can say, she garked deliciously ... Now stands, skies in his entire vile gabe face and watches how we wipe. Of course, we wrap us ... the question is different: what will we do then?

The future of the democratic coalition today depends on many, various factors. For example, from which new social forces will be ready to join its ranks, and which, of the now incoming, will not be ready to combat the regime according to other, not parliamentary rules. But this is not even the main thing. The main thing is how relevant the agenda will be able to offer Parnassus leaders in the new conditions. Today it is extremely important to demonstrate the undoubted readiness to continue the struggle for the screening of the Putin state. Only now no longer according to them, but according to our rules. And according to our scenario. Such a scenario should be submitted to the court of interested public. If he turns out to be in demand, if our supporters are ready to support him (including on the street), then all the last months of the party, they were not in vain. This means that the Russian democratic coalition (even in a slightly different format and composition) has a future.
