“Khakassians” and all like-minded people - pick up your snot and drool. Nothing unexpected happened. Or did someone believe that the elections would be fair and Putin would not “win”? All he wants today is to break us mentally. He has no other choice but to go all in and try not only to convince us of his victory, but to break us psychologically. Are we really going to fall for these scams again? Today we have a responsibility for our country. Think about the future of your children and look at events without emotion. Just soberly assess the situation. Troops in the center of Moscow and militants brought from the regions are clear evidence that he is losing. All he won was the right to open confrontation with his own people. And not hidden wiring, as was the case for the previous 12 years. He can no longer think of anything on his own. Even yesterday’s stingy man’s tears at Manezhnaya were smeared from the departure ceremony of his friend, German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder.
Yesterday there was a riot in the Khakass 35th general regime colony. Prisoners rebelled against being forced to vote for Putin. The zone has risen, what else can we talk about? More on this in the next post, but for now “Khakassian puting”.
On March 5, a rally of “winners in honor of Vladimir Putin’s victory” in the first round elections was held on Pervomaiskaya Square in Abakan. This is the shortest public event in Khakassia in my memory. The rally of the “winners” lasted 20 minutes. Several speakers made short speeches, the presenter announced the end of the event, and to the accompaniment of a fiery song, the participants fled from the square, throwing away their flags and banners (these were then picked up, apparently by those in charge).
They ran so fast that traffic police officers had to regulate traffic at the pedestrian crossing in front of the government building. The “winners” rushed in droves, the crossing was constantly busy. A traffic jam formed from cars before the traffic light at the Shchetinkina-Lenin intersection. The inspectors had to intervene and either let the winners run from the rally or hold them at the crossing and let cars through.
I was literally 5 minutes late for the rally. The Head of Khakassia, Viktor Zimin, has already begun his short speech on stage. He delivered a fiery speech about future victories with Vladimir Putin in literally one minute - before I had time to get closer to the stage.
After Viktor Mikhailovich’s speech, the presenter was about to end the rally when the host of the local RTS TV channel, United Russia, Ivan Manankin, asked to come on stage. He solemnly announced to the participants that his blood pressure was jumping from excitement; he had been following the election results all night and was only able to calm down by morning.
Following Ivan, a woman came forward and also announced victory.
Thanks to the last two speakers, I had time to understand who was participating in the rally. In total there were no more than 350 people.
As planned by the organizers, two groups of young people were placed to the left and right of the stage, waving the flags of “United Russia” and “Young Guard”. They also had the honorable duty to shout “Hurray”, “Together we will win” and so on. The “winners” even managed to turn the Russian flag upside down.
The rest of the participants remained modestly silent. Joyful cries were heard only from these two groups of youth.
Among the participants, a film crew from the state television channel RTS scurried back and forth. In front of my eyes, they poked the microphone at two women, but they simply turned away. The third still gave her comment. After a couple of minutes, the film crew retreated to a more talkative audience - government officials crowding around the stage.
The participants themselves, as far as I understand, are employees of budgetary organizations - employees of government agencies and district administrations. There were even people from the fire department.
There can be no talk of any popular support. Another staged props.
Moreover, according to my personal feelings, this event smacked of defeatism. A kind of entry into the final phase of degradation and separation from reality. They seemed to be saying, yes, we are rallying for Putin, but we are not so stupid as not to understand - we are going backwards.
