The stability of repression fell into the country

Political stripping has reached all goals and continues in autonomous mode

A month before the elections to the State Duma, stability sank to the country. No one thinks about protest rallies accompanying Russia for the past two years. The political opposition is defeated, so no one can prevent the quiet multi -day and online parliamentary elections, most similar to the primaries of United Russia. The number of independent media, which continue to honestly cover what is happening in the country is minimized. Young people are faced with a choice between conformism and emigration. The intelligentsia is afraid of every rustle and practices self -censorship. The propaganda of all types, from the RT channel to the recreated society “Knowledge”, received giant budgets and enjoys its monopoly position as the rulers of the Duma.

It would seem that in this situation the long -awaited peace should occur. The Kremlin went out of the crisis associated with the return of Navalny to Russia, the tactical winner, the goals of terror have been achieved - everyone who can be intimidated has long been intimidated.

However, the persecution of "new dissidents" continues, although there is no more practical meaning in this.

As often happens in history, the persecution of political opponents by the end of the summer of 2021 is turning from a tool in the hands of the Russian authorities into a itself, extremely beneficial for its performers. Indeed, the numerous “defenders of the constitutional system” from those citizens who want to participate in politics without a certificate from the Kremlin or to maintain public life independent of the state in the country, new stars in uniform. Although, for all possible Kremlin KPI, the authorities won a crushing victory over society, repression continues - simply because they can.

Candidates capable of disputing the hegemony of United Russia are removed from participation in elections on an arbitrary basis. The most indicative case is the situation around the nomination of Leo Schlosberg, who was supposed to follow the Khovrinsky District in Moscow against the current member of the uninstall, Irina Belykh. The formal reason for the removal of Schlosberg was the “appeal” of the candidate from the Green Party Andrei Pangaev, who hastened to convey to the attention of the CEC that Schlosberg is allegedly connected with the Fund for the fight against Navalny's corruption ( the organization was recognized as an extremist in Russia, as well as a “foreign agent” ). After the protesting campaign on January 23, Schlosberg was fined 20 thousand rubles for the “organization of an inconsistent action”-he suggested that the protesters go to the local “Hyde Park”. Such shaky ties with “extremists” allow us to potentially leave any citizen who spoke out for the liberation of Navalny behind the legal Russian policy.

Pussy Riot participants are regularly detained at the exit of the special receiver to give a new administrative arrest for 15 days. You can break out of this procedure only if you have time to leave the country in the interval between the next arrests. Veronika Nikulshina managed to do this, now they began to mock another member of the group - Rita Flores.

In these actions there is no “state meaning” - this is just our “defenders of the system” for Pussy Riot for a long time, and now their hands are untied.

They can give Russian citizens endless 15 days of arrest, not too tired of argumentation. A formal reason for the last arrest Flores was Storiz on her Instagram with Tokio Hotel vocalist - the video was seen on the video.

The father of the ally of Navalny Ivan Zhdanov continues to be kept in a pre -trial detention center, where painkillers are removed from him. It would seem that Zhdanov has not posed a threat for a long time - after all, everything is stable in our country, and some humanism could show. But no, with the relatives of the new “enemies of the people” it is necessary to act as hard as possible: probably, this should make the rest of the Russians think tightly before criticizing the authorities.

Since April, a meaningless business has been drawn against four editors of the DOXA student project. The investigation still insists that in the video in which Armen Aramman, Natasha Tyshkevich, Alla Gutnikova and Volodya Metelkin called on the administrations of educational institutions not to put pressure on students participating in rallies, there was information that endanger the life and health of minors. The prosecution could not be found any justification for this strange causal connection, but there is no doubt that the case will reach the court and the conviction. Just because repression has neither brakes nor reverse.

Our social stability is increasingly reminiscent of the cemetery by which an armed person wanders. The state is lonely, and soon there will be no one else will pursue it: then it will find new random victims that are no longer related to politics.
