"Rather, leave!" Gozman published an open appeal to Putin

Your EVERYUMENTS, go away!

By the 99th anniversary of the fall of the monarchy in Russia
Open letter to the President of Russia
Its high -abundance
Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin
President of the Russian Federation
Your EVERYUMENTS, Mr. President!
You have been governing our country for the sixteenth year. Recently, the balance of success and failures has obviously shifted in the negative side. And no matter how your propaganda hides it, people begin to feel it.
The quality of life visually falls, the situation in the social sphere is worsening, and real incomes are reduced. You did not save the country from oil dependence, you, judging by your own statements, do not have a plan to get out of the crisis.
You promised the victory over the terrorists, but the attacks continue. Over the years of your reign, more than three thousand people became their victims - the organizers in most cases have not been found. A criminal enclave was created in the North Caucasus, almost independent of Russia, but its resources. In addition to this, you started a fratricidal war in Ukraine, and then a war in Syria.
You made Russia a scarecrow for the whole world. The turning to the east that you advertised ended in nothing, we quarreled with our neighbors, and we have no allies left at all. Sanctions and counter -sanctions, as well as the arms race provoked by your policy, are a heavy burden on our economy. Tens of millions of people are forced to pay for your geopolitical representations that are not always justified.
Public morality has fallen as low than ever. Under your leadership, lies, unlawful courts, corruption blossomed. Many are convinced of the corruption of your closest friends and employees, and often in your personal corruption. They talk more and more about the relations of the highest leaders of the country with bandits. Against this background, hypocrisy has already returned to our lives and fear returns - people are afraid to say what they think again.
Mr. President, many years of absolute power led to the fact that you stopped feeling Russia. When you “found” amphoras, the country grinned when you flew with the Siberia - laughed in a voice. There are no people around you who would dare to object to you. You admit worship signs that are already beyond the scope of jokes of the Brezhnev period - the release of spirits dedicated to you, for example.
Do not flatter yourself with a high rating - this is a rating of tear and non -alternativeness. It is built artificially, and it collapses naturally, as soon as the resources of daily recharge are exhausted. Even the police who detain your opponents during the peaceful manifestations guaranteed by the Constitution, speaking of you, switch to abnormal vocabulary. In August 1991, one hundred thousand people came out for Yeltsin in August 1991. For you, as in due time and for Nicholas the Second, no one will come out in difficult times.
Nikolai’s rating in August 1914 was probably even higher than yours. People knelt down and kissed the floor of his jacket. But two and a half years later, exactly 99 years ago, the monarchy fell. A year later, the sovereign was killed with a small one, and the country for decades plunged into chaos.
Our last emperor, being captured by illusions, believing that the people wanted autocracy, and democracy is alien to him, to the last rested for power. He missed the opportunity - quite real - along with reasonable, who did not want to be evil either to him or to the country, to begin reforming the archaic political system. I ask you, Mr. President, do not repeat his mistakes!
Mr. President! The system you have created is not the first authoritarian regime in history, which has ended up in a situation of economic, moral and political crisis. Most often, this ends with a disaster. But there are also examples of a peaceful, at least bloodless, way out of authoritarianism. Unlike many of your other opponents, I think you are not indifferent to the fate of Russia. You still have a decreasing chance to save the country every day.
Your EVERYTHING, you must leave. Your potential is exhausted. The longer you remain in the Kremlin, the higher the likelihood of developing events according to a terrible scenario. In a situation similar to yours, there were Yaruzelsky and Pinochet, Franco and Alexander the Second. They managed to find not optimal, but a way out. You can do it too.
You can, following the example of the Poles, gather a round table that will discuss the ways of transferring power. By its composition itself, it will be clear whether you are striving for a solution, or just want to pull time.
You can announce the transfer of power for the transition period of the Duma and the premiere assigned to it. True, in order for the country to believe in the purity of your intentions, you must first provide honest elections and not interfere with your political opponents to go to parliament.
Of course, after your departure, difficult times may begin. But they will be all the more long and, God forbid, bloody, the longer you will hold power. It is not the fact that everything will be fine without you at once, but that neither you nor anyone else can influence this - it can only be worse.
Your Excessiveness, Mr. President, leave! Go away as quickly as possible. This is the best that you can do now for Russia.

Leonid Gozman
