Victory

- Where is the exit? - in some desperation, an unfamiliar girl asked me.

It was the evening of March 4th.

We were standing in the middle of the Ploshchad Revolyutsii station, and I showed her where the exit was, and went out myself to take a walk along Nikolskaya, look at the so-called “people” flocking to celebrate, according to the approved plan, Putin’s victory in the first round of the so-called “elections” .

No results have been announced yet (it was the seventh hour), but still they understood everything, not the little ones. From the doors of the subway following me flowed out, led by my aunt, a crowd of heads for forty people. The aunt, like a guide's umbrella, held the sign "Eagle-1" over her head.

If "one"! - "guides" with an experimental electorate flowed out of the metro doors in an endless stream. One group consisted of citizens with wet milk on their lips - a pet-friendly kindergarten, mass seduction of minors ...

- Where? I ask.

The young tribe is silent and turns away at once. The instruction was strict. “I won’t see your mighty late age…”

At least I wouldn't want to.

The foreman of the extras bustled about in the alley. "Meet people, guide!" he instructed younger kids with pieces of LED tubes in their hands. The tubes did not glow, the elder twisted them in his hands, reviving them. Groups fell out of the subway and stood up against the walls; coordinators somewhere called. Non-local people filled Nikolskaya, drinking energy drinks and waiting for further orders regarding the celebration of the victory.

- Where? I asked the company of cheerful "jocks" hanging out in the metro arch.

They turned away, silent.

- Why did you come here?

They are silent.

Then one chimed in:

- Support Putin!

The others whinnied out loud. Really funny.

- How much support? - I'm interested.

After a pause, with a call:

- And we are for the idea.

— For what? - I clarify.

Silence, partisans.

Well, just name one! I beg you.

Pause. Then one of them gathered the intellect together, formulated the idea:

Russia will win all!

- Whom, for example?

There is no pause here:

- America, "whom"!

And they neighed again, which is typical. That is, fools, fools, but they understand to what extent this is ridiculous ...

- Did you vote? - I'm interested in the last.

- Do I need it? - the stout man in the ski cap answered gloomily. And I went home from them, and they went to celebrate Putin's victory in the first round.

These guys are Putin's main victory.

And the main defeat of Russia.
