The crisis at the top is ripe
On May 3, 2005 Andrey Piontkovsky published an article "Children of Gershenzon" on the Grani.Ru website. The author speaks of a "crisis at the top" and explains it by the fall in "the prestige of Putin and the Putin group" .
Russia is in a situation of "not only the complete discrediting of the authorities in the eyes of the political class, but also the complete discrediting of the political class in the eyes of the people as a result of the reforms of the last 15 years ," described by Gershenzon in Vekhi.
In this situation, the country is expected to turn to a dictatorship: "The authorities see these processes and do not hide what they are going to do... The words that we already hear will be said: "the besieged fortress", "the West is behind the terrorists", " fifth column", "oligarchs who robbed the people", "Zionists surrounded by Yushchenko", etc." .
The situation is tragic, the author declares: "For the last hundred years of Russian history, we have gone in circles, returning to the same point . " Apparently, A. Piontkovsky believes that a new revolution awaits Russia.
