Independence is not a sovereignty for you

Independence is not a sovereignty for you. In the early 90s on June 12, Russia celebrated Independence Day. Naturally, we owed this holiday to the same Boris Nikolaevich Yeltsin, with the death of which joyful democratic holidays ended for us and severe authoritarian everyday life began.

No wonder Harriet Bucher-Stow wrote that when a good owner dies, this is the greatest misfortune, because who would give a guarantee that at the auction of this defenseless orphan will not buy evil? Bucherstow did not know that there were blacks and white, that the ocean lies the whole country, they are populated, and it is called Russia ... In 2000, we went to the evil owner, and the Independence Day completely changed the format ...

At first it was a unique holiday that had no analogues in world history. Many small countries with trepidation and enthusiasm celebrate their Independence Day, a great holiday of disobedience, starting from the day of the outcome (after all, the Jews fled from Egypt to gain independence in their promised country: “Pharaoh, let my people go!”). And they remember how bad they were when they were oppressed by evil metropolis. And even very large states, the USA and India, was remembered by Britain and its empire. India with Gandhi at the head resisted desperately, evaporating sea salt and mastering the weaving machine, just not to buy enemy goods ... and the United States July joyfully recall the “founding fathers”, Boston tea drinking and the first thirteen stars on the flag. But our Independence Day was not the Day of Independence of the former colony from the metropolis, but the Day of Independence of the Metropolis from the former colonies! Russia was glad that she no longer needs to oppress anyone. This Independence Day emancipated Russia from the USSR and became funny commemorations on it. There was enough cake twice: both on the name day and on the trouser. True, since 1995, after the entry of troops into Chechnya for another “international assistance” to the “working people of the Caucasus”, it was inconvenient to note independence from imperial burden ...

But we have sovereign democracy, which makes it possible to celebrate independence from common sense, logic, social benefits and all world laws every day: physics, economics, law, morality. And Russia celebrates the Day of Love for itself. And through the Foreign Ministry, the FSB, the presidential administration, as well as the Duma, the SF (the Federation, but the Council remained), the Constitutional Court and manual television decisively declares: "I am in the world of all the nicer, all blush and whiter." Here, let's say, physics. If a certain country surrounds itself with enemies, setting up all neighbors against itself, then this is bad both in the sense of physical comfort and in the sense of diplomacy. Browhing the whole business and getting to bother is bad in the sense of the economy. And the law and morality are hardly compatible with the detention of Harry Kasparov at the airport with a dozen or two people for “fake tickets”. The schizophrenic business of Khodorkovsky and our thumbnail, condo, deeply Slavic, chernozem and sovereign concept of “extremism” with the use of it to the Internet journalist Stomakhin (five years of the Gulag) and journalists Piontkovsky and Shenderovich, as well as Pobilovsky, who himself is the political scientist, violate all laws at once. In addition to the law of thermodynamics. Which was confirmed by President Putin in an interview with Angel Merkel and journalists in Samara. First, he threw a fishing rod to prevent a request for the independence of Tatarstan. Like, touch the Russian - and find the Tatar. And since we are all Tatars, then what is independence? And secondly, the events before the conversation, after the conversation and answers of the president about his democratic beliefs, clearly showed that if our president is rubbed, then the dictator would be discovered. As one hero A. Gaidar would say, old Jacob, not for such independence, we thundered with shackles on hard labor and, if necessary, went to the scaffold.
