20 years ago there was a tragedy on Tiananmen Square. This happened at the very beginning that yesterday and today's guards and pacifiers with enduring nostalgia are called “Chinese perestroika”. Today, their choir flows and due to that our problems and unprofiting are caused by the unwillingness to go along the Chinese path. Recall what the path is and how it began.

The leader of the Communist Party, the leader of the Communist Party, Dan Xiaopin (however, some consider the reformer and Yaruzelsky) set the task: each Chinese should have a rice bowl. In city workers - with three scoops of gravy: meat, fish and vegetable. Students, not satisfied with rice, decided to fight for political freedoms and civil rights. In April 1989, they go out on the square of university cities for a peaceful campaign of civil disobedience. In Beijing, this is Tiananmen Square. Students put white bandages on their heads as a sign of peace and non -violence. They had no weapon except slogans. They were supported even by some communist leaders, for example, Zhao Tszyyan. Fragments of the transcript from the “Verkhs” have been preserved, where Dan Xiaopin aloud fears that these protests may end to the leadership of the Communist Party by home arrest, and his colleagues frankly call the Students “control” and offer to send troops.
And on June 4, tanks went to this “Chinese path” on unarmed students. Dan Xiaopin and Prime Minister of the State Council Lee Pan are fully responsible for this. The numbers from independent sources, the most minimal: 3,000 crushed and shot, 10,000 wounded. And 10,000 arrested, because the “Chinese path” are the general arrests of those dissatisfied who were not killed immediately. Even Zhao Tszyyan was under house arrest, even a large Bao Don official received a considerable time. For several days in stadiums, convicted students were shot. They were brought in trucks, where they, connected, were on their knees, surrounded by soldiers. From those who have received 130 people are still sitting. Human Rights Watch human rights activists demanded their release before last year's Olympics, did not free anyone, but the Olympic Games still passed, and almost all the guests arrived. (God forbid, we are also in vain to pray for our political prisoners, including the “Yukosovites”, after 5 years, before the Sochi Olympics).
And how did this respond 20 years ago in the USSR? The USSR did not miss his own and did not disdain the blood of students. The USA and Europe resorted to sanctions, but M.S. Gorbachev, despite the indignation of democrats from the Supreme Council, established such trusting relations with the Chinese "comrades" that Lee Pan even visited the USSR in 1990. Tbilisi and General Rodionov with sapper blades occurred earlier than Tiananmen, in April 1989. Vilnius with tanks at the television tower was ahead.
20 years ago, in June, the Moscow-Democrats of Moscow constantly arranged protests at the Chinese embassy. We were gently dispersed and dragged into the nearest department. Yes, M. Gorbachev did not suit Tiananmen in Moscow, but could. But for this, free people do not have the right to thank.
Then we waited for something like that, and recently in the old notebook I found poetry-antiopia of some cesspesist. When I look into the mysterious Putin's eyes, I re -read these lines. What will the power do when the "marsh of disagreements" will not have enough riot police?
“They will still arrange a pogrom to us, I’m slanting the fathom with an eyebrow that they are written by a pen for them, it will be washed off tomorrow our blood. They still teach the convoy, to use, ending with conversations, their international experience: to lower the hooks and raise the shutters. They have already planned: catch, in mocking dreams, reverse the lashes. Our children will still come to Pushkinskaya Square on the blood. ”
