Improvement program

The Corruption Foundation released a film investigation about the cutting of the Moscow city budget through the program "My District". For the publication of the magazine of the same name, the company Alexei Venediktov received at least 680 million rubles from the Sobyaninsky city hall over the past two and a half years. Other large beneficiaries of the corruption scheme are the Margarita Simonyan family, Ksenia Sobchak, RTVI television channel and political technologists serving unicorns. The Navalny team claims that Venediktov was generously rewarded for participating in the organization of theft of votes in the "elections".

Despite the scandalously indecent facts, I refuse to believe that Alexei Venediktov is stupidly about grandmas. I do not smear him. I simply do not think that Venediktov’s political position was determined by purely material interest. That he simply traded his political position.

This is not an excuse for Venediktov’s political position. Against. I consider his political position deeply erroneous and vicious. Untenable and leading to collapse. I just insist that he had it.

Venediktov’s views and position are the views and position of all Russian system liberalism. The political process is the result of the "consent of the elites." All positive changes come only from elites. If you want to influence processes, you must negotiate with the elites. According to the rules they install. According to informal "concepts."

Here is a list of persons who, under no circumstances, should not appear on your radio station. For this, you will be allowed to invite everyone else. There are quite a lot of them so that we can talk about the widest pluralism of opinions. But for this you must agree to our condition.

This is already a deal with the devil. Already this is political unscrupulousness. But not financial. And what about the financial? As they say, where is the money, Zin? But where.

The political transaction of a system liberal with the authorities should be fixed by a symbolic gift. The notorious Soviet "box of sweets". Here you have a very good and completely non -political project. We want to support it. According to what gray scheme is our problems. You do not even need to do anything illegal from you. You just need to take a box of sweets. But this is your entrance ticket to any agreements with the authorities. Without him, no one will agree with you on the political issue of interest to you. These are the rules.

I am sure that almost every systemic liberal, leading or leading any cultural, scientific, educational or other "institution of civil society", in the closet according to this "scheme", or even not one. What did these people count on? The fact that their "victim" will lead to final success. "Sleeping institutions" will wake up, in the elites will prevail sanity, and everyone will be happy. And no one will condemn the winners for these "schemes" in the cabinets.

Old as the world is a story about an attempt to beat the devil on his field. This is what led to the fact that all these "institutions" turned out to be absolutely helpless in the face of the advancing fascism. This is not Venediktov’s excuse. This is a sentence of systemic liberalism.
