In the opposition

Navalny's incident

July 23, 2013 Alexey Kondaurov

For another month or two, Alexei Navalny would play with her like ghosts. Judging by the fact that he is going to continue the election campaign, Navalny joined the Game. To assume that he seriously hopes to replay the “Kremlin” in their field, having won the election, means to think badly about him. He, without any reservation, is a stupid person and probably understands that the place for him in the near future was determined not in the mayor's chair, but on the bunk. And it was determined personally by Putin, against the flawed policy of which and his thieving Friends Navalny, taking enormous risks, very consistently performed for the past few years. I am sure that 15-20% of the percent will not let him take, which his supporters and the progressive public count on. Knowing our reality, it is easy to guess that as soon as sociological measurements show the approach of his rating even to smaller quantities, the decision of the second instance will be held, which will confirm the correctness of the judge Blinov, and Alexei will be removed from the distance on legally. At 5-7 percent, the script will not break the authorities-it is beneficial to it, and we will witness the transfer of appeal after September 8th.

It is possible that to someone surrounded by Alexei, some vice-mayor or even someone from the administration, winking into a conspiratorial, promises that when playing the Kremlin rules to Navalny and officer, they will replace the real term with a conditional one. The problem, however, is that for the opposition policy of Navalny, the game of the Kremlin rules is excluded: he will have to, leading the election campaign, with all the power to continue to expose the Kremlin Kamaril and trample Sobyanin. Only systemic Zyuganovites, Mironovtsy, Zhirinovites can afford it, but not a person who received from the Putin system, to which Sobyanin belongs, 5 years of camps. After all, who is Sobyanin? This is the one that Mr. Putin promoted through the service ladder all over the past years. This is the one, at the direction of which the city is covered with “gold” cement tiles, and in the subway, with him, it became scary to go down due to daily accidents. This is the one in which car traffic jams have become even longer, architectural monuments are demolished with the same regularity as under Luzhkov, and Moscow is becoming more and more problematic for life. And finally, it was by the mayor of Sobyanin that the mayor was admitted on May 6, 2012 by a police provocation on Bolotnaya Square, which was the arrest of many civilians and a completely phantasmagoric trial of them, which was going on these days in the capital. If suddenly Navalny still convince to play “correctly”, then, of course, he will remain illegally convicted who are thousands in Russia, but as few people will be interested in as a politician after that.

Sitting to play with shuler, it is better to bring the deck with you. For example, there is no practical sense on a short segment of freedom to spend a lot of time on the presentation of programs for a qualitative improvement in the management of urban economy, education, healthcare and other important areas of the mayor. Although for non -abrupt elections, this would all be of paramount importance. But to give a new acceleration to the Moscow, partly Russian, protest is quite more than appropriate. Only a protest can make a repressive machine slow down, including in relation to it personally, and then break it.

It is natural that the injustice created in Kirov contributed to the strengthening of the political popularity of Alexei Navalny. He has the right to dispose of as a political instinct tells him. But if, in good conscience, the conditional month donated to him by Putin to participate in the “Kremlin wiring” should be used exclusively to attract attention to the “Prisoners of Bolotnaya”. What is in today's Russian life more important than protecting a person from physical and moral abuse! Alexei Navalny, who experienced in his own skin just a few days ago, what is total lawlessness and an unfair sentence, should feel this like no other of opposition politicians. The moral help of thousands of Muscovites, outraged by the humiliation of the law and personality, came to him and Peter Officer almost instantly! Now, relying on the increased popularity and status of a candidate for mayor, it is necessary to defend the defendants in the Moscow process, not inferior to the absurdity and cynicism of Kirovsky. It’s not Navalny to tell about the police and far-fetched charges that are now in the Moscow court-he himself was on May 6 in Bolotnaya Square and chanted everyone together: “One for all, all for one.” Who will prohibit the candidate for Moscow mayors meet with voters in the courtroom? Not in the autozak. You don’t even have to call anyone to court. It’s just to report on the Internet that the candidate for mayor Alexei Navalny has the intention to get acquainted with the work of the Moscow Judicial System, attending a meeting in the case of “Prisoners of Bolotnaya”. And Sobyanin should be invited there to look at what his connivance or inaction (?) Leaded on May 6, 2012, and ask if he wants to ask for forgiveness from Muscovites sitting in the Aquarium and their loved ones. And having left after the meeting, it is possible, for example, to comment on how the judge is mockingly grinning, illegally rejecting the issues of the defendants and defending the prosecution witnesses. That would be a campaign worthy of an opposition candidate. And to the spoilers - the Zyuganovites, the Mironovites, Zhirinovites, etc. - to leave the opportunity to talk about the improvement of the sewage system into which they are merged on September 8. However, this has long been uninteresting.

The 2012 presidential campaign showed that even the idea of ​​the second round Kremlin designers consider seditious. Therefore, everything will be done so that no second round does not take place. And the most important task of Alexei to urge hundreds of supporters to join the ranks of voluntary assistants to identify falsifications. In the case, if the Kremlin is nervous due to the growing percentage of support and remove it from the race, accelerating the entry into force of the court sentence, it seems appropriate to ask his supporters to vote to the same Sergei Mitrokhin. And strengthen the Yablochikov team with controls in polling stations. Whatever claims to the opposition of Mitrokhin put forward, but he loves Moscow and with persistence defends the interests of its inhabitants. The announcement at this stage of the boycott will be belated and will play in the hands exclusively by Sobyanin. Although the very removal of Alexei from the elections will bury the Kremlin hopes to fly out of this figure of a legitimate mayor.

Large intellectual efforts are not required in order to catch the Putin's message in the verbal husk of Mr. Peskov that Navalny and officers will go to the Gulag if they do not crawl with a guilty and do not repact in his improvised sins. They will go, unfortunately, is almost inevitable, because there is still no million on the streets of Moscow shouting: "Putin must leave." How Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova went a year earlier. And even earlier, Eduard Limonov and a large number of his supporters. And 10 years ago, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Platon Lebedev, Alexey Pichugin and many other “Yukosovites”. And every time, hearing the reasoning of the wise men that it is not in Putin, they say, the matter, there is a persistent desire to send them. No, not at the stage. And not even to hell. And to send to mothers, wives and children of modern political convicts, so that the pain of these unfortunate people gets stuck in the wise men in the throat.
