This is how we were brought up: “fair” murderers, “noble” thieves and swindlers arouse sympathy. The population delegated to them their unpunished antipathy towards the rich and powerful, who humiliated and robbed it.
From the Nightingale the Robber, through the Bolshevik expropriators, the sympathy of people incapable of independent action passed to the "partisans".
Part of the crowd trusts the right (forever Russian myth) criminals to fight for their fear and hatred. Different leaders - garbage security forces and secret gangs are entrusted with the protection of their fear of the country they lead.
The law is being violated on both sides. The weakest is punished. Today they are illegal bandits.
Lynching, lynching, troikas, mobs, telephone sentences, shapeless thugs and uniformed thugs have claimed countless lives. I do not say: innocent, because often no one has proven guilty.
And they'll take more.
If the people sympathize with the murderers, then the existence outside the law is our environment.
In this environment, no one will have the privilege of living without fear for his life - neither the first persons of the state, nor the last, nor the cowardly and ruthless people located between them.
“Without trial and investigation” is the end of the nation.
With the kind of judgment and consequence that we have, it's a delay of the end.
