Intermediaries of the throne

Lyudmila Alekseeva once again surprised: on behalf of the organizing committee of a certain “round table on December 12”, where she entered, Satar and Kasyanov, “negotiations” were proposed to Kudrin. Putin's friend, one of the leaders of the civilian wing of crooks and thieves, who offered himself as a mediator between protesters and power, according to most activists and commentators, acts in the interests of his group. Her interests are simple - linger longer in power.

This power has long developed mechanisms for neutralization of protest. Duboloma with rubber sticks in the squares, glossy opera with searches and threats, output, intimidation and provocations against leaders, talkers propaganda. Everyone can study the experience of stripping Kaliningrad.

Do not forget the experience of the triumphal. About a year and a half ago, I became a representative of "Solidarity" in the organizing committee of the Strategy-31. All the second half of 2010, the authorities tried to defeat the growing movement. A weak link was chosen - a status conformist and simply an old weak woman Lyudmila Alekseeva. By the way, Konstantin Kosyakina was regularly closed for a day - knowing about severe oncology, they made it clear that they could be killed. The negotiators from the Kremlin were two Commissioners for Human Rights - Vladimir Lukin and Alexander Music. The latter regularly forced Alekseev to come to endless meetings, sending a car to the sanatorium in Adovo in Adovo, and he was with terrible accelerations. Then, in August, the grandmother of Luda withstood. Then she was nevertheless given her, splitting confrontation and number strategy-31 released at the peak.

The names of the negotiators kept secret. We did not voice them anywhere. After the split, Limonov published information on the "faces", there were no conclusions. And on the tenth of December, excitedly measured the narrow walking courtyard of the special receiver with steps, I heard at the Echo abundant direct inclusions from the rally of the Lord of the Music and Lukin. My comments corresponded to the place of stay, because I can’t bring them here. Alas, the country is practically absent in the institution of reputation, it is gradually formed only in professional communities. Among the opposition activists, the rating of Alekseeva literally collapsed, but for the venerable audience, grandmother Luda remained "icon of human rights movement." And now she appeared again, in the midst of a new story.

Of course, the "Round table of December 12" is not created specifically for draining protest. This is the format of work adopted among elderly status human rights defenders. Back in 2007, during the All-Russian Civil Congress, Alekseev and Satar, they developed something like a "consent program". As planned, all good people had to agree and cause good people. A thorough brochure seemed to remain in the story of a meaningless hand -up for conferences, but after the coming of Kudrin, a lot of life has gained a lot of life.

Status human rights defenders, with the support of no less status mediators, are again with unstable rows to agree with the authorities about something. The ruling regime has a reliable way to ignore the national protest, appointing to their interlocutors no one who is not represented by the characters - elderly human rights activists, permanent cultural figures, and retired officials. So far, it was rolling, largely thanks to us. As a dissident and public conscience, it is easier to have a noble Alekseeva, by hand connected by the presidential councils and grants than a sharp, sharp suburban. Instead of Limonov and Prilepin, to honor Akunin and Pelevin. For opposition politicians, keep retired top managers of the regime.

However, if the educated city class, with the help of modern, in the household habit of the principles of network communication, will be able to create an institution of public reputation in the country - this will be the key to real changes.
