The example of the workers of Uralvagonzavod (the board of directors of which is headed by the prime minister’s colleague in the Dresden residency), who offered Putin help in dispersing the Moscow rallies, did not go unnoticed. The baton was picked up by a career KGB officer, the founder of the famous Ozero cooperative, who received Russian Railways from his management, Vladimir Yakunin. The Gudok newspaper published an appeal signed by him from ordinary railway workers. This text cannot be shortened - the style is so brilliantly maintained. So…
“To the President of the Russian Federation D.A. Medvedev
To the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin
Dear Dmitry Anatolyevich!
Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich!
On behalf of the expanded board of JSC Russian Railways and
Central Committee of the Russian Trade Union of Railway Workers and
transport builders, let me report that all approved
The Government of the Russian Federation and the Board of Directors of JSC Russian Railways
The railway workers completed their tasks.
This is our real contribution to supporting the reforms being carried out in Russia and yours,
dear leaders, activities to ensure national interests
state, development of civil society, protection of rights and interests
every Russian citizen.
While supporting the course towards democratic development of Russia, we do not consider
possible not to react to the one deployed in a number of foreign and Russian
The media, including electronic, unprecedented in its shamelessness campaign
discrediting Russian statehood.
We see what is happening: specific political circles are making every effort
efforts to “rock the boat” we are all in, and
destabilize the situation in the country, hiding behind democratic
slogans. Of course, we respect different points of view, but we believe
forms of behavior they demonstrate that offend human dignity
propaganda.
We are sure that the wave of dirt that poured onto the state and its leaders
has nothing to do with the democracy these people love so much
reason! Moreover, it is a direct threat to the sovereignty of our
country, infringes on our civil rights to live with dignity in a country that
we love. It is our right to choose our leaders and demand compliance
our political, ethical and cultural rights.
We are ready to provide full support for your implementation efforts
constitutional rights and obligations of all citizens of Russia."
I can see workers gathered for counter-rallies, at the command of retired KGB officers and members of the Ozero cooperative, demanding severe punishment for those who encroached on their sacred right to have this country.
