The Coordinating Council of the opposition (it, it turns out, still exists) announced new elections to his composition. Alexei Navalny has already refused to participate in them, Yashin also said that he did not see the point.
That's wonderful - the future of the CSO will be decided by voting. In the last vote, 80 thousand people took part. If you take part in a new vote, then the structure will become illegitimate by itself.
I personally won’t go vote, and not because “I'm too lazy” or “all the same for me decided.” I will not vote exactly because in my eyes the coordination council of the opposition ceased to be a legitimate organ. And I do not want my vote - any - to participate in its legitimization.
This organization has lost legitimacy in my eyes after we had another, much more powerful, an opposition to the “pre -election headquarters of Navalny”.
This election headquarters organized an unprecedented election campaign of Navalny as an unprecedented in terms of efficiency and degree of self -organization of volunteers. When all the transport companies in Moscow suddenly at the same time refused to transport Cuba Navalny, this headquarters from scratch in two hours created its own transport and logistics company and coped with the problem. As a result of the actions of the headquarters and volunteers, they raised Navalny’s rating from 3% to 30% and provided an almost honest counting in the elections. According to the Hamburg account, Navalny entered the second round, and in the age category up to 50, he generally won the election.
At this moment, the opposition coordination was divided. Those people in its composition, who want to make a real political career (for example, Maxim Katz), entered the headquarters of Navalny. And the marginals in the council began to tell us why Navalny would never succeed. From them we learned that the Kremlin’s Navalny project was that he was a future Hitler and that he lost only because he refused to cooperate with the rest of the opposition.
And now these marginals are asking us to legitimize them. Well. As I said, 80 thousand people took part in the last vote. The initiative of Navalny on the ban on expensive foreign cars collected signatures of 100 thousand people. For the most Navalny in the elections of the mayor of Moscow, 600 thousand people voted. Obviously, if the elections to the new COP, in which Navalny will not participate, will be collected less than 60-70 thousand votes, then its legitimacy will be zero.
And she will be zero already because I do not think that the current members of the KS are able to organize at least something, including voting for themselves, loved ones. The past voting was organized by Leonid Volkov, the chief of staff of Navalny and a large fan of electronic democracy. I do not see any reasons why wolves will write software and organize a vote for those who systematically pour mud on mud.
I can honestly say that I participated in the first vote only because it was well organized and that in walking distance from my house there was a group of volunteers in whom I could register. I strongly suspect that these volunteers later worked for Navalny’s campaign and are not going to be volunteers for the Constitutional Court again.
Accordingly, something will not happen. Either volunteers, or normal software, or one and the other, and no one will vote, or, conversely, the security will be zero and it will turn out like the “Heart of Chechnya” mosque, for which at 1.5 million Chechens voted 36 million times as a symbol of Russia. The largest number of votes in the future COP will gain some Mavrodi.
The problem of QSO is very simple. It was created by a bulk as an attempt to build a certain organization from the Russian opposition that could work. It turned out that members of the Council, the vast majority of them, cannot work, but they can only write blogs and swim in rays of popular love.
They have no place at Navalny's headquarters. Just like I have no place at Navalny's headquarters. I don't need it there. I will not spread leaflets, but I can’t write programs for the development of electronic democracy. I understand this and therefore I do not break into political activity. The members of the KS do not understand this and are torn. As a result, they turn out to be marginals. Because the political marginal is by definition a person who does not know how to be an organizer, but wants to be a leader.
This does not mean that Navalny is doomed to win or that Navalny’s victory will be the victory of Russia. But this means that today the organization created by Navalny works on the principle of centrifuge. All enriched uranium gathers in one place - around Navalny, and all the husk - in another. Apparently, in the coordination sset.
My hypothesis lies in the fact that only marginals will take part in the new elections to the Constitutional Court - both as candidates and as voting. After the elections are falling through, they, of course, will explain this with sabotage from Navalny, the Kremlin agent, and will finally disappear from political life.
