Divide and conquer
Zyuganov and the LDPR (for some reason through the mouth of Lebedev) said that the rally on Bolotnaya was the machinations of American imperialism.
Radical nationalists are rushing to stake out all the places where they could hold rallies on December 24.
The meaning of these actions is quite clear.
THE UNITED efforts of the “Without Putin” party could lead to the fall of the regime.
But there is no such party (front, movement).
And it won't.
It won't for many reasons.
Firstly, of course, the government itself, don’t be a fool, negotiates “piece by piece” with its various adversary partners.
Not with everyone, but with those who are close to her. These are the LDPR, radical nationalists and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.
Secondly, the nomenklatura of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the Liberal Democratic Party is vitally interested in PRESERVING THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT.
It would seem – what do they care about Putin?
“A neighbor’s horse died – it seems like a small thing, but it’s nice!” What, in the “terrible 90s”, did they “have a bad time” in the Duma? Terribly bad...
It was then that Zhirinovsky - apparently inherited from his aunt - formed a dozen apartments of 300-400 meters each.
So what's the problem?
Putin with a cart - deputies have more freedom and food!
No.
The deputies may feel better (although they don’t look for good from good).
But PERSONALLY for Zyuganov, Zhirinovsky and their closest nomenklatura - it’s worse.
The revolution will bring down more than one United Russia.
But also the ENTIRE Vertical, the ENTIRE political system. Including system parties. In any case, the old leaders certainly will not pass through the coal eye of the Revolution - they have become painfully fat. Zhirinovsky (65 years old), maybe he would have survived, since the party is him. But for Zyuganov, the “Zyuganovism” in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is definitely the end. Yes, and Zhirinovsky has a lot of troubles under the circus dome, but the gathering is still the same.
Thirdly, people are not cash machines for “collecting donations.”
They have an IDEOLOGY.
Whether they “sincerely” believe in it or not, they repeat it so often that it has become a reflex of the soul. It is very difficult for a liberal, a fascist, a communist, a nationalist, a person who doesn’t care – it is very difficult for anyone to abandon their views.
In their views, communists and nationalists (and even more so their voters!) are MUCH CLOSER to Putin “whatever-he-is” - than to pro-Western liberals.
POWER - this symbol of faith unites them.
And it sharply distinguishes it from the “swamp” ones. Power is their sovereign ALLY. Liberals are the OPPONENT. And fair or dishonest elections are deeply secondary.
Yes, the elections are by and large fair - we are fair in the Duma! It is for you that they are dishonest - since you are not in the Duma. Well, solve your problems yourself...
This creates an interesting situation.
All over the world, those who LOST in them are fighting against dishonest elections (this was the case, by the way, in Ukraine).
Their motive is clear, their willful effort is justified.
In our country, those politicians who did not participate in them speak out against dishonest elections!
Truly a special path...
The Communist Party of the Russian Federation, of course, is also “indignant” - at Medvedev’s table.
But it doesn’t involve any action. If action is possible, it would be AGAINST the liberals. Together with power - and in the VANGUARD of power.
Liberals obviously cannot come to an agreement with the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the Liberal Democratic Party, and the nationalists.
And this is not a “misunderstanding”, but the ESSENCE of the matter. They have absolutely OPPOSITE political ideas and interests.
The watershed does not follow the line: power versus its opponents.
The dividing line is different: government + nationalists + communists - against radical liberals.
But how far the government is ready to go towards its natural allies from the national-communist (“Soviet”) camp, against a common liberal enemy, is a big question.
