The new case of Khodorkovsky-Lebedev caused fundamentally different responses in our society than their first business. In that part of society, of course, which is still able to respond to the news program and other external stimuli. The dreary bewilderment prevails.

It used to be wrong.

Carnival, in the style of the military operation, the arrest of the head of the "Yukos", the tragicomedy of the court under the leadership of the Hardenger prosecutor Shokhin, the drama of the sentence, the disappearance of the prisoners, their appearance in some distant camps-all this aroused in people who observed quite strong feelings. They were different - from endless sympathy to endless gloating. However, these feelings were alive.

The main thing is that no one asked sluggish questions such as "for what"? Then it was clear what the arrested oligarch was bearing for. Each group of politically active citizens had its answers. For not bending before the Kremlin. For publicly informing Putin about corruption in the state structures controlled by him. For plowing a popular treasure. For the fact that I wanted to sell my company to the Chinese Americans. For the fact that he wanted to influence a political life. For treason to the homeland. For not giving up.

In short, Khodorkovsky -Lebedev was his own first business, and it was clear - to the best of political temperament, personal beliefs, myths. The indifferent part of the society was split, and this seemed normal. Well, almost normal - adjusted for the general madness of life with sovereign democracy. In disputes, the truth was even born. Everyone agreed that Khodorkovsky was judged, to put it mildly, not only for evasion-approval-renewal-execution, as it was in the verdict. Subsequently, it became clear that if Mikhail Borisovich was born with the soul and talent of his colleague Prokhorov, then in the worst case he would have served three days in Curshell. Also not sugar, of course, but still not uranium mines. And not eight years.

The second series of the play, which is written before our eyes, is fundamentally different from the previous one. It is incomprehensible, mysterious and does not cause a desire to look at the stage. For the absurdity, which was enough in the first part, is simply overlapping over the edge.

Everything was selected from a person - freedom, money, a successful company. He was separated from his family for a long time and placed in a place where some slurred prisoner Kuchma can simply be cut out, and the lemon presented to the cellmate (without quotes) - to turn into a conclusion in the schizo and the extermination of hopes for early liberation. What was the prosecutors and personally Putin V.V., in order to look at the work of his hands and, having calmed down, to do other things - the fight against corruption, say, the search for the successor, feeding Labrador?

Fear of convicts? Well, yes, the other day they caught up in Chita, where they interrogated Khodorkovsky -Lebedev, so many simple cops and special forces, as if they caught a gang of maniacs or a well -armed terrorist detachment in the city - it seems to be afraid. But what are they afraid of? What is afraid of a nuclear state armed to the teeth in a duel with two driven convicts, which have only memories left from their former power? The year 2008 is scared, when, with the happiest coincidence of circumstances, Khodorkovsky and Lebedev would have a chance to go free? And what? Mikhail Borisovich could run the presidents? Could you influence the successor to choose a successor or sharply object to Putin if he wants to go for a third term? Mystery.

The Western press is written, clearly for inflating the circulations and for the sake of unbridled Russophobia, about the "bloody vendett" of the Kremlin and that the Russian authorities of Khodorkovsky are represented by a kind of "al-Capone of our days." Throw, gentlemen. The price of the first sentence in the Kremlin is known no worse than the lawyers of Khodorkovsky, as well as the price of other oligarchs, now exhausted from patriotism and pride in Russia, which rises from the knees. Yes, and tea is not in Italy, what kind of vendetta is already there - "the custom of blood revenge for the murdered relative", according to the dictionary. That is, the process is fast, the conversation is short, and no ships. And then they want to solder another 15 years, accusing $ 25 billion of assigning, which exceeds the volume of revenue of the entire Yukos before and after its plunder by the state. Don Corleone is resting.

If you use foreign words, you should look at the "sadism", introduced into circulation thanks to the famous French marquis. As you know, over the years, this term, which denoted sexual perversion, was filled with universal meaning: this is the name of any "abnormal passion for cruelty, enjoyment of other people's suffering." In the office, where our president and other best people of the country come from, this passion has traditionally, since the oprichnina, served as a sign of norm. Unless this can explain the new case of Khodorkovsky-Lebedev and new accusations, almost dooming them to slow death.
