Forcing peace
Today we received information about a fight when submitting an application to the City Hall to hold a rally on March 5 at Lubyanka. The youth of the League of Voters could not defeat the administrative resource of the Yedra youth. The latter were launched in advance and managed to register their application. I just remember how, after the presidential campaign, I decided to register the Free Russia party and immediately received the Ryavkin brothers with a certificate of re-registration of their party into a new one with the same name. Then these guys with the same resources successfully ruined the game for Kasyanov and Prokhorov.
The day before, after working in Ostankino, I went to the Dozhd channel to participate in the Freedom of Choice telethon. Around 16.00. The car race through the garden with white ribbons was already ending. I tried to get to Bersenyevskaya embankment for about two hours. No result. Empty Moscow was completely blocked off without announcing the locations of the closures. Using the same resource, the authorities confronted residents and protesters. The rally for Putin did not cause any blockages. Everyone moved freely.
Evil, in the evening I started watching the program “Citizen Gordon”, where the host courageously connected Putin in the person of Shoigu with other candidates, Bolotnaya in the person of Parfenov with Poklonnaya in the person of Kurginyan. Goal: sign an agreement on joint actions to legitimize elections. Sisyphean work, I thought. Exactly. In the morning, the RBC channel announced the preamble to the document: it began with the word. “condemned...” Like, whoever says that the elections are dishonest is an enemy of Russia.
Yes... It won't work that way. A social contract on the modernization of the political system with figs in the form of ingenious administrative streams, rivers and seas cannot be signed. Everything turns out exactly the opposite. And it’s not clear who is rocking the boat now. The non-systemic opposition meets with Medvedev. The League of Voters is ready to jointly monitor the vote count. And the answer is a complete petty setup. The formula of “forced peace” or coercion to peace does not work. Everything is again a farce and PR. Only an open desire for renewal will give birth to trust, and without petty meanness.
