In the Kremlin

Enough!

October 7, 2006 George Satarov

They killed Anya Politkovskaya .
They killed the most honest, brave and sincere journalist from those who have not yet been killed.

Does everything that happen still leaves doubts about the diagnosis? This is fascism. He has new features. He resorts to mass fed than mass terror more. But he does not disdain with old methods. In the arsenal of the current government, intimidation, blackmail, incriminating evidence, output, recruitment, beating. And murders. They killed Yura Shchokochikhin, and we swallowed this crime, although everything testified to the obvious poisoning. Then we were tested by an attempt to poison Anya. Swallowed again. Now they just killed. Swallow?

To everyone who, in one way or another due to professional or civil activity, is forced to determine their political position, an obvious choice arises. There are only two options. First: become an accomplice of obvious fascists. Second: to unite and discard this fascist scum. It will not be possible to sit out.

I turn to my former colleagues who continue to work in the Kremlin or in the government for one reason or another. Are you sure that there are still any reasonable arguments to continue working in this place, at this time, with these people?

I turn to the leaders of the parties, who, to one degree or another, associate their political future and the future of their parties with negotiations behind the Kremlin walls. Are you sure that your beliefs are compatible with the pragmatism that you usually justify the election of the lowest resistance method? Do you have the feeling that your pragmatism becomes no less criminal than the actions of those with whom you conduct “consultations”? Nikita Yuryevich, Gennady Andreevich, Grigory Alekseevich and some others, have you forgotten history? Do you not remember that the flywheel of repression, let him just unwind, grinds everyone? Yes, this is not the point. Is it disgusting to continue to beg political handouts from them?

I turn to members of the Parties of the ATP, the Communist Party, "Yabloko" and others. Do you understand that the cynical “pragmatism” of your leaders has long become criminal and buried your parties?

I turn to the leaders and members of non -political public organizations. Did you really think that the authorities would stop in its attack on society, begun in early 2005? Do you still have illusions? Do you still believe that you can agree with the Nazis? Do you think that there are at least some rational grounds to continue these attempts? Sasha, Yura, Henry Markovich, Lyudmila Mikhailovna, my dear. Do you still think that you can wait and retreat?

Yes, many of you, often sincerely, think something like this: “No, you can’t tear everything. There is still a chance to do something useful, cooperating with the authorities, you need to use any opportunity. ” My friends, strain your memory and compare, say, over the past two years, your achievements from realizing such a strategy and achieving power, which enthusiastically allows you to apply it. Do you see the difference between acquisitions and losses? Not in freedom of maneuver - in human lives. Power turns your strategy into your weakness and its strength.

Enough. It is clear that there is nowhere to retreat. I understand that it is difficult for each of you to make a decision that violates the usual protective mechanisms, the usual ways to adapt to all this abomination, the usual lifestyle, finally.

Understand! This is not about the way of life, but about life as such. About your life, about the life of our Motherland. Do not make decisions alone. You know, blackmail, recruitment, murder in the entrance are applicable to us while we are one by one. They are strong by our fragmentation and pliability, our "pragmatism."

Let's take a decisive step together. Together we are a force that these gray will not overcome.
