Turn to the cliff

Thanks to Khodorkovsky - he does not sleep and does not give others! His “little ones” fly through the bars of the bars that your cobblestones - if they do not break their heads to its competitors in the Kremlin, then at least sway the standing political scope.

So “a private person, a citizen of the Russian Federation, from N 99/1, Moscow” has the right to count on our serious respect and interest. That is, not on saliva-filled “taking into account its position” nod, but for evil controversy. The MBH, thank God, is alive physically and morally, it needs, as I hope, not to say “either well or nothing” about him, but in the training. So let's try to argue with him, “as if” he was free. Once again: I begin from the fact that such a solid person is morally stronger than many of us (me, say) who are “on the other side of the grate”. Therefore - an open dispute.

Khodorkovsky’s “Left Inversion” seemed quite dangerous to me.

First - about the "trifles of style" that cut the eyes.

Well, by golly, you should not engage in demagogy for the weak to a strong person. This is not an strengthening of their positions, but simply an elementary “self -stand”. It's a shame: I want to argue with the MBH on the merits, but you feel irritation from the fact that you catch it on trifles.

They remembered the "Gloomy January 1996." “Then, most liberals and democrats ... It was difficult and dreary in their souls ... From the readiness of many and many representatives of the Yeltsin establishment to line up to Zyuganov and, without removing the right slave smile, get forgiveness for all the former freedom -loving riot - along with a pack of freshly printed coupons for a supernova special distributor.” It is not said who are these “representatives of the establishment”, but it is clear that the MBX from their sinking to Zyuganov was “and boring and sad”. Great! And then, with pride: “I signed up to 13 large businessmen in March in March 1996 ... the appeal“ to get out of the impasse! ”. The idea of ​​the letter was very simple ... Boris Yeltsin should remain the president of Russia ... But the head of the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Communist Party should become the prime minister, and undoubtedly, with expanded powers. ” Here are those on! Of course, there may be “13 large businessmen” and did not smile “the right slave smile” (I have no doubt about the MBH itself!), But in the case they were “lined up” before the possible new boss.

Or, here, the MBH constantly uses the pronoun "we." But who, excuse me, these are the same "we"?

“We were waiting for democracy as a miracle, which, by itself, without any human participation and effort, will solve all our problems for decades ahead.” Well, why slander yourself? Is it you, Mikhail Borisovich, how did Ivan-Durak sit on the stove and were waiting for the manna of heaven?! No, you worked out like a damned one (as you and worked all your life) - created, by the truth/lie, their “Menatep”, traded “without looking at democracy”, rushed up and down, “solved issues” with officials and, possibly “with the boys”, did not sleep, risked their lives, jumped on the plane ... “How you are erased” You, MBH, have been guided by this truth from childhood.

And they waited for democracy on the stove completely different - the usual loafers or dull hard workers, freebies, demshiz ... Yes, to some extent - we, people. Well, I’m more, for example, I can partially enter into this wonderful “we” (with disgust to myself, in order of brutal self -criticism). But you, MBH, have to do with it? You waited for anyone and nothing. Honor, praise and billions for you.

But, alas, you have to pay for all pleasure, you can’t immediately be carnivorous both a vegetarian, and a hunter and prey, earn as a billionaire and suddenly be an expressor of the aspirations of “us - masses”, millions of “suckers of the Lokhovichi”. And leave the illusions - someone, but personally, “we” will never let you into your row, if only because you are different.

And the MBH, as if without hearing falsehood, continues to formulate questions on the behalf of "us - the people." The questions are understandable: about justice, “who got socialist property”, “why people who are not shining either with their minds or education are chasing millions, and academics and heroes, navigators and astronauts are lower than the poverty line.” Well, I don’t want sharp words, but right, a strange idea is to privatize even a social protest against ... oneself!

But trying to become in the position of this “justice”, the MBH is free or involuntarily, but “threw” those completely disinterested intellectuals who defended him with foam at his mouth, defended the legality and justice of privatization!

Another rhetorical question "on behalf of the people." About morality in politics: “We did not like the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Komsomol Central Committee for their cynicism ... But did we deserve the rulers of the ten -way more cynical and a hundred -point more thieving?” Again, who are these "we"?

I willingly believe that he, the secretary of the Bauman RK of the Komsomol, did not like the employees of the Komsomol Central Committee, who helped (disinterestedly?) To create NTTM MENATEP. I also willingly believe that he did not like “rulers of ten times more cynical and one hundred -sneakers more thieves” who helped (even more disinterested) “Menatup” to receive oil fields from which Yukos arose. You can’t order the heart, maybe they didn’t love him either ... But they did a common thing, and - most importantly - what does “morality” have to do with it, whose morality, whose and on whose behalf does Khodorkovsky condemn? No, seriously - I did not understand.

In general, a smart person often wants to outwit himself. You, Mikhail Borisovich, will not become a particle of this because we will never become. Because it is we defines ourselves and unites in us only against you! Such as you, and personally against you personally, Khodorkovsky M.B. Don't you understand this?! And it's not even about money. Just take them from their confrontation - and what will remain?

And your moral mistake becomes the cause of your political error - not on those MBH, you put it.

And now - in essence of the article.

Half a year MBH “opens America”, says that under Yeltsin there was no genuine democracy as the power of the people. Well, clear, there was no - who would argue! And there was no, as it was completely true by the MBH, for a very serious reason: the people believed that the elites robbed him, expressed in the Khodorkovsky language, “we” hated “them” (so that the MBH was not confused, I would still advise him to fix his place in this system of coordinates and say that “they” hated “us”).

The situation has not changed today.

Again, MBH is right. There is no democracy, most power has no power. The ruling elites went to the bluff: they played along with the people in words, “but in real life, where power, property, money”, elites do everything as before. “This bluff has become the main content of the Putin-2000 project. The authoritarian project, which was a direct logical continuation and consequence of the Yeltsin-1996 project.

Everything is for sure. Everything is known.

But then the MBH makes several statements, from my point of view, very controversial.

The first thesis, ascertaining. “In 2005, the contradiction of expectations and reality began to finally open ...“ Putin's majority ”... I realized that it was simply used, and no one was going to change the state strategy.”

Ready to agree with this ... partly. Yes, there is disappointment. But there is a way in power and this is a disappointment to extinguish. Which? How what?! Yes, throw out “us” (or, nevertheless “nim”) from the porch a couple of such Khodorkovsky ... it will immediately live-well, if not better, then more fun. The same “hunger of justice” will be satisfied: “Who got it ... why people who are not shining ... And academics and heroes ...” - well, in general, read the text of Khodorkovsky.

This will not become a “change of state strategy”? Maybe. But “academics and heroes”, as well as millions and tens of millions ... Well, say, far, far from heroes and not at all academicians ... They are not very tormented by such categories. There will be enough of them and a visual execution (in a figurative sense? Yes, they will not pay from the straight!) A couple of people, "who do not shine." Bread and spectacles - yes, but the "state strategy" was not ordered.

The thesis is the second, threatening. "And the will of people to justice, to changes became harder and brighter." “Our compatriots became much tougher than they were 10 years ago.” And here I doubt it.

12 years ago, we had a microcracian war, when the crowd stormed Ostankino, and from the tanks we fell through the White House. In my opinion, today the people are calm down, everything is much calmer.

The thesis is the third, political science. "The left -wing will inevitably win in an honest election." No! Do not confuse left ideas and left -wing parties.

MBH lists the left values ​​of the people: free education, pensions above the subsistence level, “the unconditional return of the pre -reference savings of citizens” (brilliance! For this idea - 91% of voters!).

But these left -wing values ​​do not increase the value of a dying KP of the Russian Federation and too vilized's "homeland". These parties do not “shine” so much that they do not gain in any way - in any bid -shaped elections - the majority in the Duma. There is nothing to argue about here.

The thesis is fourth, incomplete. "The program of the next Russian government: state paternalism and democracy, freedom and justice - together, on one side of the barricades." Cute. But why did the MBH forget another very popular left slogan “Russia for Russians”? Yes, 91% is not yet protruding for this, but more than 50% already exists. Yes, and an energetic idea, the electorate warms, as they say, no worse than the denunciatus. Again, justice - indeed, “came up here” and, judge for yourself, “who got ... why people who are not shining ...”. I don’t know if all academics (or only Shafarevich), are all the heroes (or only the folk hero Makashov), but many of the “us” share this idea - they just don’t know how to practically realize it ...

The thesis is fifth, short -sighted. “In most countries of the former social camp, left-wing forces came to power in the mid-90s and reconciled freedom with justice. As a result, the authorities in these countries avoided a serious crisis of legitimacy - the very one from which all revolutions begin. The left turn did not happen in time only in the post -Soviet space. ”

This is a half -truth, i.e. Worse than lies. Yes, the “left-wing forces” ... the pro-American Social Democrat Kvasinevsky-or the Stalinist Zyuganov. Feel the difference - since Khodorkovsky does not feel it!

Imperialism and militant anti -Americanism (at least rhetorical) in foreign policy. Xenophobia (“Russia for Russians”) in the internal. “Fright and divide” in social. Here you have the real “Left Project” for Russia, and not for Poland.

Parties cannot defeat such. And ideas - they can even very much.

The thesis is the sixth, the most enchanting. “I want to make a reservation that the notorious legitimization of privatization does not mean at all ... nationalization with the transition of the largest enterprises to unnecessary control of non -accountable bureaucrats. On the contrary, the result of the legitimation will be consolidated the class of effective owners, who in the national mind will no longer be bloodsuckers, but legal owners. ”

And the guarantee of all this grace - the desire of Khodorkovsky? Or something more weighty? What exactly? Why, by what miracle the popular consciousness will change?

The thesis is the seventh, practical. “The following Russian government will inevitably be the Communist Party and“ Homeland ” - well, we have already heard that, I already wrote that this is just“ avoiding ”. The new one is in what idea: “Left liberals (“ Yabloko ”, Ryzhkov, Khakamade, etc.) is time to determine whether they will become part of a wide social-democratic coalition or remain on a grumbling, politically meaningless curb ... only the widest composition of the coalition, in which people of liberal-socialist (social-democratic) views will be played key The role will save us from the emergence in the wake of the left turn of the new superioritarian (is he about fascism? - L.R.) of the regime. ”

"There was a stellar map for him,/ and a sea wave spoke to him."

The MBH has just unfolded the "popular consciousness" where he, the MBH, is necessary. Now he has given a “key role” in the political coalition to such political titans as “Yabloko”, Ryzhkov and Hakamad - forgetting to ask the opinion of the Communist Party and “Homeland”. This is strange: after all, in his own words, the Communist Party and the “homeland” go to power. So, are they going to give the “key role” to powerless democrats? What joy is it?

And the problem is serious.

No, I repeat once again: neither the Communist Party, nor the LDPR, nor the “historical homeland” of Rogozin, nor the “small homeland” of Baburin will come to power. Ghosts of different democrats will not come to her, whose names of whose parties cannot be remembered - and unnecessary to anyone ...

And “without the owner and the house of an orphan”: without parties and leaders, the authorities are not seized.

But there are two dangers.

First. Irritate the “vertical of corruption of power” and the palace coup and/or general apathy of power.

Then the street can awaken. Not organized parties, but marginallae unknown to anyone (as Ulyanov was also unknown to anyone in Russia). And when the power is lying on the earth, it will be raised by "people who do not shine either with their minds or education."

The slogans of these marginals will be redistributing, and “Russia for Russians” and “America - Parasha, our victory will be ours,” and many other elements of the “living creativity of the masses”. Here you have justice, morality, and a left turn without a decrease in speed ... and we will return the savings, and form (quite free!) All oncoming and transverse ...

There is another chance. Khodorkovsky is right: left -wing ideas dominate in society. So why don't the authorities take them into service - not only in words, but also seriously? After all, the authorities of “we” will believe wherever you, Mikhail Borisovich!

But from the authorities, left ideas will come, either against the authorities, or from one part of the authorities and against another, in any case, Russia is Kaput. “We” are waiting for the very “justice” “as a miracle, which by itself, without any effort, will solve all our problems for decades ahead.” There will be a miracle - but completely "on the other hand."

You, the MBH, and according to textbooks and in your hard life, you know that only those owners who work hard, by truth and by crook, multiply. You know that in the real Russian economy the goal - enrichment - justifies the means, but the funny thing is that in the course of this ferocious, predatory redistribution, economics and even social life began to rise and self -organize. You know that even rich Europe bends and breaks under the weight of impossible social programs. You know that in Russia these programs are as impossible as impossible - by pike, according to your, in your opinion, MBH, the appearance of honest officials, and even as a result of the revolution. You, MBH, know that no matter how cruel is this life, but today, mercilessly injecting and counting only on himself, without any paternalism, a normal person in Russia can live, teach children, go to rest, etc.

You know all this. You know that it is not a “social state”, but only a difficult, cruel and often bringing to despair the path of the “archiliberal” (as one great politician would say) in the style of the ruthless market of the 19th century in combination not with democracy, but only with enlightened, pro -Western authoritarianism can raise Russia. Most elites are opposed to this path: both the singers, the ambitious demagogues, and the semi-muddled xenophobis ... This path for their reasons-from selfish-money to the usual-nationalist-is opposed by the majority of the population. So what? Most are not a criterion of justice, nor reason, nor truth. Most (yes, most!) Screams “Cross him!”, “Enter you, but you don’t steal”! But there is an active, modern minority, including thousands of children from the middle level of your “Yukos”, for whom the ideas of an open society, the liberal economy are natural, and the ideas of social parasitization, paternalism, xenophobia and the delirium of imperial greatness are disgusting.

So why are you, who knows all this perfectly, trying to play along with this majority and betray “your own”? Who do you really have “we” and who are “they”?
