Alexey Melnikov: "Not with the people"

"The decision of the authorities do not show mass protests in Khabarovsk on the State Academy of Sciences, together with the unwillingness to directly talk to the protesters, perfectly speaks about this shy, blind and sample regime born in the cradle of the St. Petersburg gateway of the local authorities, gabuhs and bandits," the publicist writes in "Living Journal" .

“The people for him exist only as an object - when it is necessary to collect money from it for their maintenance or use it for coercion (for example, forcing themselves to vote) and manipulations (through propaganda in the Government). Such people love such people - cotton, silent, shy, humble.

But only people go out into the streets (as in the Khabarovsk Territory) and peacefully declare their right to elections, to an honest court, for the need to finally be heard in the Kremlin, the authorities are hiding from them. All declared nationality evaporates. Instead, insults begin (“drunken gag” Solovyov) or statements (like the mayor of Khabarovsk - a member of “United Russia” by Sergey Kravchuk) that “the same people ... work for money”.

Try, pay money for several dozen people to organize a share of 50 thousand people in Khabarovsk for, for example, to lift sanctions from Rotenberg, Timchenko or Prigozhin. Or in support of Putin's resurrection. Will many people gather to such organizers? So the matter is different - in the vital interests of people who are affected by the decision of Moscow.

So it has already been paradoxical in the Khabarovsk Territory, which is under the support of the support of the governor of Furgal, a member of the Putin LDPR, people are completely different - the right to respect the authorities in Moscow, to respond to their rational and worthy appeals - to enter the interested dialogue with them, correct their mistakes.

They do not care that the arrest of the van is a consequence of the struggle in the power between their own. They say that Furgal in two years of work by the governor made a lot of good for the edge. At least, the changes that people like. Hence the mass support.

In the end, it is not a problem to free the van, to give him the opportunity to continue work, while conducting the investigation in parallel. There is no danger if it comes to court, to judge him in Khabarovsk by the jury. Such a decision is not a recognition of weakness.

The Kremlin will say that if you do this, it means to show that the authorities are lending on pressure. Certainly! How did you want? So that idiotic decisions are unshakable? If this pressure is peaceful, legal, reasonable - from citizens, then you should meet. Those who bring people to the point that they go out onto the streets and demand justice are to blame. Here with them = those who at the tops of the authorities arranged a crisis in the Khabarovsk Territory from scratch, and understand.

Events in the Khabarovsk Territory scream about the need to reform power in the country. "
