In the opposition

Wet business

June 14, 2012 Alexander Ryklin

In the ranks of the demonstrators, they joked that if the previous Moscow authorities learned to disperse the clouds and on the “days of special celebrations” successfully practiced this blasphemous intervention in the affairs of the Higher Forces (which is, apparently, they ended badly), then the new master of the capital went further - armed with the last scientific achievements and now, on the contrary, they drive the clouds when they have worked. Is it worth it to be surprised that they “pleased” just at that moment when on June 12, Muscovites in a single protest impulse in the number of tens of thousands of people (such an assessment of the number of the event is satisfied with all?) Moving from Pushkin Square along Bulvars towards Sakharov Avenue, where they held the planned rally. Moreover, they spent him, having managed to get wet to the thread in a single -top couple of hours, dry and get wet again. Some simply “our” rain, accompanied by powerful gusts of wind: collapsed unexpectedly, did his wet business and after a minute he ran out. And then he fell with renewed vigor ... Well, enough about the weather. Moreover, there are plots and more will.

Frankly, recently, the courteous local (Russian) authorities literally jump out of his pants to quench our information hunger. Not in the sense of, of course, the openness and tolerance of the sources (of which we are still mowed with a rotten look of nothing and no one diluted Shevchenki, Leontyevs and, forgive the Lord, fat), and exclusively in terms of generating almost detective scenarios. Of course, I mean many hours of searches and interrogations in apartments and office premises of people whose names are primarily associated with mass protests of recent times in the capital of our dear homeland. That is, we are talking about Boris Nemtsov, Alexei Navalny, Sergey Udaltsov, Ilya Yashina, Ksenia Sobchak and a number of “civil activists”, as it is now customary. ” We will not dwell on the trivial details of these law enforcement measures. We agree, for example, with the fact that investigators who called the characters listed above just during the march and rally were guided not by primitive protective instincts, but by the pressing needs of the investigation. However, the defendants themselves are unlikely to consider trivial details, for example, an eight -hour interrogation, a search in the apartment’s apartment or arrest one and a half million euros. And yet back to the main thing.

Do you know what the most terrible in all this bacchanalia with unprecedented pressure on our comrades? The fact that there is no person in Russia-neither in the camp of the opposition, nor among its opponents-who would sincerely believe that these people are really to blame for the crimes of which they are accused (or are about to accuse). That is, everyone understands that we are dealing with large -scale falsifications. In other words, with the monstrous violations of the law that is clumsy and clumsily (I would even say, defiantly clumsy and awkward ... and who to be shy about?) Mashed under the protection of the law. What, does anyone really believe that, for example, Boris Nemtsov organized a team of asphaltometers? Or maybe he financed them in half with Sobchak, who had already laid out foreign money on envelopes and did not manage to distribute them to distinguished bozoters just because their favorite bodies stopped this illegal activity in time? Nonsense, will you say? But is it nonsense that the same Nemtsov is forced not to spend the night at home, hide from the cops, drive in a car with darkened windows, and then, like a spy, to make your way to a rally in order to just be able to speak in front of the Muscovites? And the Solidarity Security Service organizes a whole special operation (successful, by the way) in order to implement this criminal plan - to conduct Nemtsov to the rostrum of the many thousands of protest rally. So that the police do not capture him on the way ... and he performs, and after I, in my car, withdraw him from the territory of the rally, again, as in a Hollywood action movie. And the operatives who missed our departure run to their cars and pursue us without hiding. And Nemtsov on my phone (he turned off his own on the 11th morning), the Echo’s report on such dramatic events ... expect a further story about a shootout, an inverted trolleybus from me? In vain. I will say anything about all this out of modesty. And I will not even utter the sacramental "I'm already old for all this."

Ay, dear fellow citizens, I talk about today's Russia ... about its capital and about our adventures in it. Funny to you? But I don’t have something ... Because in the traditions of my family there is no Sunday leaving from the police pursuit, planning of special operations, the hidden transport of friends through the Cordons of law enforcement ...

Of course, all these vulgar details (well, excuse me) are not exhausted by the plots associated with our protest activity and its prospects. And to them, to their content, we, of course, will return in the near future. I swear solemnly.

And this is simple, as they say, in hot pursuit ... While the smoke curls above the trunks ... Ugh, you!
