Protest. Notes of the participant
November 22
In the theory of Ladies is right, but in practice the Latinsky version is played. Latynina says [1] : there are societies in which democracy does not work, universal suffrage leads to gallows and populism. She is called a fascist and threatened with a finger. Zizhek, on the contrary, praises [2] the revolution will seer the secular Egypt, to which the Rabor site meets with a friendly proletarian ovation. What do we actually have a few months after the coup? We have exactly what Latynina said. The foreseeable prospect: “Muslim brothers”, Sharia, brother on brother.
28th elections, let's see.
November 24
Of course, not only Zizhek sits in a puddle. The same Latynina, requiring [3] restrictions on suffrage for dependents living on social benefits, also slides along the surface. Two examples come to my mind. The first is a person who was convicted of “parasitism” in the 64th and was exiled to the village of Norenskaya in the same year. The second example is a mathematician who, for eight years, fell out of the previous environment for the prove the prove the Poincare Theorem, and then resigned from work and to this day living on a social benefit (mother’s pension). Everyone remembers that it has grown from these people. The conclusion is simple: wanting to tear out the ballots from the hands of loafers and dependents, we risk depriving the voice of artists, poets and scientists whose field of activity is not always within the legal.

According to Euronuis, a general plan of Tahrir Square is shown: almost a static picture, something is digging barely noticeable and buzzing, buzzing. According to these frames, you need to learn to make a movie: nothing debunks clip aesthetics. The best confirmation that the voltage on the screen is created not by an annoying flicker, but by something underlying, invisible even. Like in Stalker, when nothing happens - and you look without dropping.
November 28
If the Islamists were not behind women in the Egyptian parliamentary elections, one could only ardently support their decision to place the faces of candidates (they were still curtained by nizabar), but party symbols or lotus flowers. This is a good idea - remember to serve, not to persons, to make a political, and not physiognomic choice. I repeat: if not for the Islamists. And so, of course, it is not worth discussing.

By my shame, until recently, I stubbornly associated her with the wife of the oligarch - but no, it turned out, namesake. Marina Abramovich is such a performing artist. Exhibitions around the world, one of them, if anyone does not know, is now in the Garage. And this is a reason to say not so much about Abramovich as about those things that she earns on cosmetics. Over a hundred years of its existence, conceptualism, incorporating, including And the performance, did not give out how much neither dig nor a single masterpiece. A lot of business was proposed: if you figure it out, this is a wonderful installation - to scrape off everything all for the sake of the main thing. But the main one since the time of Iva Klein was announced the figure of the author, which obscured the notorious “concept” and ultimately killed the whole direction. What the brightest proof is Marina Abramovich, a soap bubble and the focus of the void, which is 65 years old today, with which we congratulate.

The poet Kibirov once told how he undertook to read Thaddeus Bulgarin: everyone, they say, say, graphomania, graphomania, suddenly mistaken? No, really graphomania.
I read Dugina Alexander Gelievich. The flight is normal, the sensations are similar.
November 2
It seems that the largest radicals in these elections will be shown by those who vote for United Russia. Because the revolution is not a product of encouraging the opposition. The revolution is when you see that the ball is about to burst, and you begin to blow with a vengeance.
December 3
“To kill a person to defend an idea is not to defend the idea, it is to kill a person.”
From the film "Our Music", the director is Jean-Luke Hodar, he is 81 today.
December 6th
What to say? Not the last people gathered on the ponds and the triumphal, but the shortage of them is exactly the same as before: they can theorize very long and competently, but at rallies, i.e. In a direct clash with a potential voter, their entire program comes down to chants (the exception was Bykov, who acted more concise and most substantial, for that he was not a politician; there was nothing to say so at all). The question arises of an alternative, but an alternative, alas, is none: the right with Tamtams on the necks march in the caves, there are no left ones at all, there are no third ones.
December 7th
The third day of protests, and nationalists are sleeping. With the exception of the Sunday detention [4] forty Demushkins - not a single demarche. This is all the more strange that Navalny participated in the rally on pure ponds, having a certain support in the right circles. They say [5] , the Chechen regiment will take part in the suppression of unplanned shares of the Moscow opposition. The answer will follow, of course, not from the opposition: there is no more effective means to terminate the fascists than to impose mountain warders on them. Either it is specifically, or the tops do not control the situation so much. The main thing is not clear what is worse.
December 8th
Everything is simple. The decision to reach the rally on the 10th should flow out of how much the opposition is ready for a compromise, for which she, from her own words, is so striving. Yesterday, the organizers were invited to hold a rally on Bolotnaya Square at the same time, which was stated, but with a much larger number of participants. If the Ryzhkovs Tire Udaltsovs will be elastic and move to the area of the revolution, it will become clear how high they put the safety of their like -minded people. Only this is worth paying attention to in this situation, the rest does not matter.
December 9th
Tomorrow at two rally on Bolotnaya. The point is not in solidarity and “solidarity” - there are three elementary reasons why you need to be there. Firstly, this rally has a clear positive program that is common enough not to rest against someone else's party beliefs. Secondly, it is authorized by the city mayor and pursues peaceful goals. Thirdly, the venue limits us from inadequate characters, who decided at all costs to get on the head on the Revolution Square. Many, for example, my beloved Mitya Olshansky [6] , fears that the actions of the opposition will lead to pogroms and revolution, and it would be better to sit at home - but let's not bend the stick and see the beginning of the bloody bath in each protest. If abstraction is still nicer than silence-gold and chvak under our feet, we must come to Bolotnaya Square and defend for several hours in sparing frost.
December 10, morning
You, guys, will not work out for you, it is stupid to demand honest elections from an inoperable system, a social revolution will be an adequate answer - so, if you generalize, the pathos of two anonymous editorial speakers on the Rabor sites [7] and “skepticism” [8] . And all this, you know, condescendingly tapping. There is still a lot about the uneven activity of the opposition: against falsifications, you say, they say, and where you were, when you molested the schools and robbed pensioners, and hear this from the leftists, at least because of their pathological laziness and doubles, it is quite strange.
They say: it is useless to go to the rally with the requirement of re -election, where are you talking about student scholarships, where “Down with Popov”? Comrades, what scholarships? If a passerby in a crush has stepped on your leg, you will demand an apology or report, why does he have the piercing in the wrong place? The theme of rallies - falsification in the elections, erosion of this topic will turn into another useless agitation for all the good against everything bad.
Lefts say: the requirement of honest elections is a deliberate failure, and offer a social revolution (oh, this longing for updating and turning, not from yourself, so from others, but you, bald, do not ask at all). Let's think about who will lead this revolution: leftists, among whom there is a scatter and staggering and which, strictly speaking, are not at all - or Lumpins and Nazis usually pull -up under the curtain, who, no matter how much, is not a fascist, of course, and even not even a trunk with Krylov, but the real Russian fascists. Demushkin, for example, who will sneeze, and there will be no left and right, black and yellow, white and fluffy. There will be a cannon meat that has the ability to end very quickly.
Naturally, a rally is not a panacea, but a simple means of pressure on the authorities with which you need to learn to communicate in the legal field. Nobody expects radical movements. But there will be clearly more effect from him than from dreams about a coup or from demagogy [9] Tarasov on the subject of criminal accomplices of the Yeltsin regime, which it is high time to have a hip, but something is still in any way.
December 10, evening
Lead from the fields. The rally did without detentions, even Limonov, who shook a little on the Revolution Square and called for all kinds of thunder on the head of the “prostitute of Nemtsov”, went home without other people's help. As for the swamp, one important thing immediately catches the eye: the organizers had a pre -formulated positive program, which periodically moved on the topic “Down with Putin” and “We are at the front, it is time to take power”, but where you saw mass events without provocateurs. By the way, they were screamed very quickly: they immediately knocked on Krylov, who managed to blame the ghost of the revolution, and he was forced to quickly curl up. There were many Imperials who behaved surprisingly correctly. There were a lot of representatives of unregistered opposition movements and parties. There were Akunin, Bykov, Lazarev, Shargunov, they performed brighter than the rest. All this will soon appear on the network, not far from the stage there were people with cameras and iPhones, so that high -quality videos are guaranteed to us. Someone will say: what's next? And then simple. If the rally requirements (the resolution was signed at the end) will not be fulfilled, we will leave on December 24. This time, from 40 to 70 thousand people gathered according to various estimates. The next time there will be even more. Now we have experience in the peaceful conduct of such demonstrations. Fans of sitting on the pope will say: "No effect." How easy it is with their passivity and a priori right. We importantly nod, grunt and do in our own way.
December 10, night
So it is tempting to go out with the slogan “Revolution, not a resolution” (he is asking for itself), but no, they have already seen it, thanks.
December 11th
In Moscow, a rally of nationalists ended. As the Spanbine [10] once correctly remarked, the shares of the left and right are increasingly starting to be like each other: they most often look identical and call for approximately the same methods of intimidation. But there is one key difference: the attitude to the word. Here is such a mental experiment. Suppose a conditional left (for example, Budraitkis) reflects [11] about "robbery." Most likely, you will either keep silent or nod - yes, they say, take away and divide, help the poor, all things. And now let's imagine that the conditional right -wing (for example, Sevastyanov) speaks exactly the same thing. What will you do? You will most likely try to get out of there in the shortest possible time, making sure that no one pays attention to what metal your cufflinks are made of. Why is this happening? Because it is clear to the idiot that Budraitkis with his infant blush and a chubby tummy will never go to violence: do you even imagine how his meeting with oligarch Prokhorov could end? And Sevastyanov - either there Belov, or Datsik, or Demushkin - will go to anything if there is a reason. This is explained very simply: it is easier to be consistent right, because its ideal is easier to achieve. It is much easier to roll back to animal than to build a kingdom of universal justice, where there will be neither rich nor color differentiation of pants. Hence the attitude to the word: the preservation of its value in the camp of the right and the gradual devaluation in the left camp. At the same time, the left ideals are more human. But, in addition to normal, there are two more varieties of people - national bonds and pussy, and the left belong to the second grade.
December 12th
According to the results of the rally, another important conclusion suggests itself. A simple brake for nationalists can be an understanding that they are surrounded by a moderate majority. And if some bastard begins to chant “Beat the Jews, save Russia”, the rest will find the means to plug it. Therefore, I do not believe that some special installation was given to these comrades before the rally: not to boil. Otherwise, they would not have gone from the Square of the Revolution with the slogans “Russia for the Russians” [12] . They came and realized whose benefit is the advantage. In Bolotnaya there were attempts to light fireflies, but in general no one even tried to jerk: next to me, not far from the stage, there was ten people with imperial flags, sometimes flagly waved flags. Not a single attempt to turn on a national topic, not a single real provocation - this seems to have already written about this. All this, I think, will be fair at a more official level. If there is a competent leader who will be able to lead the moderate nationalist party, which understands nationalism as an ethical, and not an ethnic category, and this party will enter the parliament (as it has already happened, for example, in France and Germany), these guys will eventually understand that they generally play for the same things as the rest. Social justice, support for native culture, upholding their own interests in the world arena. You need to understand one thing: the presence of a representative of nationalist forces in the authorities will reduce the danger of their manifestation in some more unpredictable and dangerous form. In reality, of course, they will not influence anything-there will be conditional observance of justice (if we really want the Duma to be open to all political parties that can overcome a 5-7 percent barrier). Now it is beneficial for many to keep all the nationalists for cannibals - and this is not only convenient self -deception, but also additional unwinding these guys. Everything forbidden increases sharply in price, it would not be bad to remember those who like to talk about mercuminess (including me).
December 13th
Education is still not the last thing. Therefore, when it comes to adequate right -handed people in parliament, I am inclined to give preference primarily to Rod, EU and Neofundmentalists like Sekatsky and Jemal: having united and advanced in the next Duma elections, they have a chance to become a completely sane right alternative. There are no more candidates: do not take seriously the “Russians”, the NDPR and Zhirinovites. The Eurasians are also not the best option, but they, firstly, are smarter, and secondly, here we are, it seems, about the equal rights of opposition parties to register and further struggle for deputy mandates, or am I wrong?
December 14th
The protest movement cracks at the seams, and this is probably natural. Everyone is trying to snatch a piece of embrace. Those who are in a toll are in the kidney with an elbow, publish a plaintive cry. Nationalists are not allowed on stage on the 10th scene, and they decide in revenge to staging a playplain, Sakharov Avenue and Vasilievsky descent, where they plan to hold the following rallies. The left does not give the word [13] at a meeting of the organizing committee on December 24, but they are too small to answer in proportion. All this, I repeat, predictably: who could hope that Nemtsov, Gudkov, Krylov and Udaltsov would sit down at the negotiating table and immediately come to the common denominator. It takes time. And if this is a twitch (the language does not turn to call such things a struggle) will continue until December 24, you can only shrug and try to forget it as soon as possible.
