In Russia, "autocracy and throne" was officially built "

January 19, 2010 Mikhail Delyagin

One of the charms of authoritarianism lies in the fact that scientific discussions end with a bossy roar, which approves this or that truth for one or another truth as the final and capital.

Disputes about the nature of the current regime are carried out in the political science community for a long time: it is to fit attributed the corresponding point to my office “The invention of the eternal engine hanging in my office; Forecasting the global oil price is prohibited! ” What terms were not invented - from “souvenir democracy” to “kleptocracy”. I personally adhered to the concept of "military police feudalism."

I understand: I was wrong and repent with all the energy of the future member of United Russia. I ask you to take into account my sincere repentance and not to arrange a scientific mistake under the 282nd article of the Criminal Code-Puto-Medvedevsky analogue of the Stalin 58th and Brezhnevskaya 70th.

The official bodies - to be precise, the Kursk Laboratory of Forensic Expertise - put an end to a shamelessly prolonged political science.

In the conclusion of the experts of Trubnikova and Berdnikov, the modern Russian state power is characterized clearly, clearly and with exhaustive completeness: "autocracy and the throne of".

Of course, in the initial part of his conclusion regarding the sticker with the inscription “Down with autocracy and the throne of the newcomer!”, The Dear experts seized from the National Bolsheviks of Mikhail Deev (in the photo) . Like, “if the expression“ autocracy and the succession to the succession ”to be considered as a synonym for state power, then - and only then - a“ given struggle ”(which, it seems, was accumulated by experts in a nightmare, because there is not even a word on the sticker)“ aimed at overthrowing the existing state power ”.

All these reservations are unconditionally lean away from the final part of their conclusion , which directly says: “The sticker with the inscription“ Down with autocracy and the throne of success! ”... There is a call for the forcibly overthrow of the existing state power.”

This is an official position.

Now any other characteristic of state power is incorrect and, moreover, with a certain judicial and even just administrative enthusiasm, can be considered as extremism. Any political scientist, any specialist, any citizen, speaking of the nature of the state built in Russia in the 2000s, must characterize him precisely as "autocracy and throne-off."

Of course, if the court considering the case of Mikhail Deev (in relation to which, as far as one can understand, a criminal case has been instituted on the degree of adequacy in the degree of adequacy in inciting hatred for the social groups “representatives of the authorities”, “entrepreneurs” and “Chinese”, which threatens 4 years in prison), will regard this expert opinion as nonsense of the sivom mare, the situation will change.

However, this will mean the removal of at least one prosecution, which is very poorly consistent with the indictment of the Putin and Medvedev courts. It is worth recalling that with so unloved by many fighters for human rights, the courts carried out about 10% of the acquittal, and with the current leaders - less than 1%.

And in general, the “vertical” is not inclined to correct even its frank insanity, considering such a correction, probably, an unacceptable manifestation of weakness.

The classic example is the decision of the Ordzhonikidze District Court of Ufa of December 8, already before last, 2008, which declared an extremist symbol “Flag with a Cross” symbol. Without any clarification. And this means - any flag with any cross. And the Ministry of Justice approved this decision with his authority and his power, placing it under paragraph 414 in the federal list of extremist materials.

So what, that priests and believers, diplomats of the countries whose flag contains the image of the cross (but not “crosses”, like the flags of Great Britain and Georgia!), And just ordinary people do not know about it? Ignorance of the law does not exempt from liability for its violation. Therefore, any citizen of Russia and generally any person without diplomatic or other immunity, who, within the limits of Russian jurisdiction, will manage for any reason to raise the flag with the cross or draw him on TV (for example, in the report of Putin with Greek or Norwegian leaders) can be completely legitimate and in compliance with all the necessary procedures, including “democratic”, put into a prison.

For extremism, that is, as far as one can understand, "not enough enthusiastic way of thinking." Or for the fact that the next boss simply did not like.

If you want to try to avoid this fate, remember: the official characteristic of modern state power is “autocracy and succession”.

It is only unclear which of them is an autocrat: officially, in position, it seems to be Medvedev, but somehow he does not make such an impression. Maybe it will still take it, or maybe we will receive another clarification from the ruling kleptocracy.

In the form of criminal cases and prison terms for people who sincerely believe that they have conscience, dignity and human rights. What, someone else needs to prove that in the country of "autocracy and throne-off," the presence of this is a criminal offense?
