Conscience as an escape
Plato Lebedev is going to gather the deadline. And Gennady Gudkov, on the contrary, plant. There are no contradictions here - in both cases, the court and law enforcement agencies are used to solve momentary political problems. The logic of power is simple, like mooing.
In developed countries, according to Pew Research, the image of Russia has significantly worsened over the past year. In the USA, the rating decreased from 49% in 2011. Up to 37% in 2012, in Germany from 47% to 33% - and further on all points: France, Great Britain, Spain ... The reasons are clear: attempts to rudely plug the legal protest after falsified elections, political persecution of Navalny and Udaltsov, scandal with Xenia Sobchak and, most importantly, the process of three young women who spent ideologically unstable bodybuildings in XSS.
Damn them, with Westerners. They, a well -known business, paid the State Department, and they slander. But we have the same thing. The rating of the authorities crawls down - both in open and closed sociological data. Obviously, the State Department also pays the FSB analysts.
Moreover, reputation losses have a completely material expression. Large foreign investors - the Norwegian Statoil and the French Total - make it clear to Gazprom that they are disturbed by the unclear of the legal and tax status of investment in the shelf of the shelf. When gas prices are already falling, delights of manual control, at any time ready to “send a doctor”, make carriers of capital and technology once again at a hazy and burn.
If so - they decided at the top - it's time to show the humanity and impartiality of our most fair court in the world. On the example of Plato Lebedev. And then - depending on the reaction - perhaps Mikhail Khodorkovsky. In principle, nothing new. The old kind trade hostage: we are freedom to them, you are money for us. And, let's say, Viktor But in addition. So that he, twisting about his 25 years, did not inadvertently surrender the highest authorities, which roof his business on illegal weapons trade. Well, or something else, geopolitical. Type Syria. Or, more likely, the leadership simply decided to provide an election support to Obama, who is increasingly difficult to fight off the accusations of a mistake with a “reboot” against the background of a “Magnitsky List” and growing criticism from the Republicans. Republicans at the head of the United States Kremlin are definitely not needed. And now, look, a small trump card was added in Obama’s deck: the reboot works! You look, they will also release Khodorkovsky ...
Everything is simple: Asians, as Tov explained. Stalin Mr. Churchill, understand only power. "Believe me, I am an Asian." Like, joke. They felt serious pressure from the outside and from the inside, from the side of the business and from the citizens-they agreed to give in a little bit. The little one. To immediately bite something else elsewhere. Where it is bad and there is no obvious risk of getting on the teeth or pockets.
In the same logic, rudely and frankly sewn with traditional white threads and the case of State Duma deputy G. Gudkov. He, unlike Lebedev, should be planted. For the same transparent-shaped tactical and educational considerations as A. Navalny. So that it would be incredible to others to climb into politics and dare to behave in it independently. Hand to them, scoundrels! Or, using a more appropriate Soviet terminology, in the horns. For a clean criminal, of course. After all, we have no political crimes, as in the USSR.
The trouble is that the country, time and people are not the same. The people were distorted, infected with an involuntary way of thoughts. He asks himself - what is this our impartial Themis before have not seen the terrible crimes of these henchmen and enemies of the people? Why was it only now struck - after a surge of street activity? The fact of the same Navalny was excited and closed - which, generally speaking, is not characteristic of our legal proceedings. And here again. Is it because there was a clear signal from top to bottom down the executive vertical: to plant these, but to release them? Here, thanks, Mr. Bastrykin, a man of an outstanding state mind, performed in time. And he placed everything in places to eliminate the latest doubts among the weak in spirit. It is ordered to plant is to plant.
About 20 years ago, a conversation with one of the large economic figures from the so -called “countries of folk democracy” was extremely unpleasant for me by personal discovery. Simply put, from the Warsaw block. He then explained in very simple words that with the advent of Soviet power, Moscow set a very specific task for new allies. In the socialist economy there may be individual elements of capitalism, said Moscow. This is not the main thing. The main thing is that the legislation is organized so that any business entity, it does not matter, a private trader or director of a state enterprise, technically cannot work without violating the law. And so that he knew it. And so that he knows that they also know above. So that he feels with all his soul that he was hanging on a thread, and the end of this thread in the hands of the party leadership. Almost so - and the gates of the official house are hospitably open in front of him. You, it turns out, what?!
A very useful principle of public administration is based on the interests of political control and manual management. Ensuring what in the Soviet Constitution was called the "leading and guiding role of the Communist Party." Convenient: large directors and small owners are all like silk - look at your mouth and perform any, most idiotic, from the point of view of the economy, a leading and directing solution.
True, from the point of view of the effectiveness, competitiveness and focus on the demand of the population, it is weak - but which of the representatives of the leading and guiding force was disturbed? At least until, as long as the whole socialist system did not lose the competition with a bang with the liberal West paid by the State Department and did not crash at the turn of the 90s.
This priceless experience is very helpful to the current knights of manual management. While you behave obediently, you can coolly walk along the buffet - as part of the perimeter and on a short leash. But if he broke away from the feeder and for some reason began to download the right to download-blame yourself. It immediately turns out that you have some kind of dubious license (the case of G. Gudkov’s security enterprise), the corner fluid is incorrect (M. Khodorkovsky’s case) or cash enemy euros in envelopes (horror, horror!-C. Sobchak case). And in general, you are some kind of very unsympathetic profile and anfas-if you look for more fraudulently.
In short, in Soviet terminology, there would be a person, but there would be an article. Or, in relation to modernity, only members of a specially created and guiding party can be hook and steal. As well as sympathetic. They are sinless by definition - the holy people gave them indulgence, as the party nomenclature at one time issued special services. Well, if I foolishly stood up for the sacred perimeter, then I'm sorry. He himself decided to move from paradise heaps to the world of sinners, and you will answer. Step to the left, a step to the right is considered a shoot.
By and large, nothing has changed in this vertical system. And it will end just as her predecessor ended - ingloriously, but not without a trace.
However, once again: the authorities have not changed, but people have changed. Not all, of course. But a significant part. They no longer want to be rams down and bleat in chorus by the official rations. They have trouble! - In 20 years, its head has grown on the shoulders. They understand too well-who before (from the NTV case, from the Yukos case, from Nord-Ost, Beslan), who later (from the election of 2011-12, from the case of Navalny, the work of Gudkov)-that this skating rink with manual control will soon reach them. So, we must prepare for the civil defense of sinful people against the sinless (and therefore unscrupulous) authorities.
When the NTV was dispersed, you were silent, because the Gusinsky nasty type and nothing connects you with him - except for interesting television. When they planted Khodorkovsky and Lebedev, you were silent because they are disgusting oligarchs. When a passage video about the sinful Shenderovich (made for your taxes) was posted on the network, you were silent because you yourself are a model of morality and never walked to the side. When the NPOs was pressed, you were silent, because good people do not work for foreign grants, and it’s not a pity for bad ones. When the girls from Pussy Ryot are planted - because you are unpleasant for the figure in the temple. When Gudkov is planted - because you do not have a security business and you do not have a chair in the State Duma ...
You are smart and clever. You are pleased when they strok a wool and put others in an example. Everyone is pleased - what a sin to hide. Everyone was taught. But why did you decide to become an excellent student in this school of sinless bastards? The answer to this wonderful question was not, and there was no. Here everyone decides for himself. Is it time from the clear-eyed chairmen of the Council of the Pioneer squad to go into the category of adults or wait a little more?
When they come to you - because your cottage is not in place, like the inhabitants of the Imereta Valley, or because you turned up under a motorcade with flashing lights, or because you refused to participate in the falsification of the elections - you will have no one to look for protection. Not in parliament - because there will be no Gudkov, nor on television - because there is no Sveta Sorokina, nor with independent lawyers of NGOs - because they are foreign agents.
The civil solidarity of sinners, mistaken and other normal adults is a keyword. The rams do not have solidarity - only a herd feeling. For sinless from birth. In solidarity, only a community of self -thinking individuals can possess, understanding how our mortal earthly life is really arranged.
Either solidarity, or one must leave where the authorities do not claim sacredness and the state is aimed at servicing the interests of ordinary people, and not a fabulous highly moral “new historical community of people”, which constantly has to be cleansed of millions of traitors, enemies and renegades. There is no other alternative.
But Khodorkovsky did not leave. And Navalny too. And the Gudkovs are father and son. And Nemtsov. And Udaltsov. Still staying along with all their grave sins. And thank God. So, there is still something living and human in Russia. Even after four generations of negative Lubyan selection, when people who are capable of independent thinking and deeds were pumped in packs.
What is amazing in itself-what is the country rich in people. It would be a shame to leave her, sinful, without support. And them too. At least in a word, a rally, at least a campaign of civil disobedience to the authorities, which itself prescribes itself to the leading and guide force using electoral falsifications. And he lets go of sins.
In addition to the Patriarch, they still have a beneficent Mr. Churov, who, in the days free from flights in the balloon, puts on a worship vesting in order to enlighten and enlighten the flock and strengthen her faith in the God's chosen leadership. Well, realize yourself - if there is no power, not from God, ”then how not to correct the results of the vote of unreasonable citizens in their highest interests? What is a miserable choice of sinful people before the choice of God?! There is no question here.
And Gudkova, along with the dissolved girls, is approximately planting. All the rest to the lesson, away from sinful temptations.
This text was written upon returning from the sinless Hamovnic Court, where on August 17th, the sentence was appointed sinful women from Pussy Ryot. Lawyers said that in the coming days they would try to organize a street event in support of the clients. You still have time. But very little. The jokes are over, the Inquisition begins. Simple and predictable, as a butt in the teeth.
We ourselves wanted order, a strong state, equality, unity and lifting from the knees. Get and sign: all these wonderful goals are most fully realized in a concentration camp. It is nice, of course, that in the place of one of the towers there will be a bell tower - but this is not new. In the Soviet era, monasteries and churches were also very easily remade into prisons. Two examples are remembered offhand: a women's prison in Tolga near Yaroslavl and a shipping in Torzhok. Yes, I still forgot Solovki, of course.
A terrible spectacle - barbed wire, grates cooked from reinforcing bars and church masonry.
