The end of the rally
The rallies are over. The comparable mass of proceedings and anti -plate gatherings is their only formal similarity. They are not even a friend against a friend - they are so different. However, they have acquired another general quality - in the political sense, now anti -plate rallies are useless.
According to the results of the rallies held on the eve of the capital, a lot of things were already said. They noted the special tension of the authorities in relation to the protesters who were not on the previous mass shares of the protesters, and the specifics of the pro -government protesters (for example, wearing their tracksuits and the use of alcohol - it is cold - which is not in principle at rallies of protest).
In the dry residue it turns out: the authorities were able to drive people “stand up for themselves” (standing up literally, stand up and part on pre -prepared buses), people still come against the authorities themselves, however, for not entirely clear reasons.
Obviously, Vladimir Putin won the election. Yes, not entirely honest, but the fact that he gained albeit relative, but sufficient for preserving power, the number of votes is obviously even his note of opponents. Why then are thousands of support rallies for which, if not ashamed, it is certainly unbearable to watch even people in them directly participating? And why are the rallies “for honest elections”, if the nearest federal elections take place in five years, and the results of those who have passed the authorities of the same Vladimir Putin already promised not to review in any case?
The full -time revolutionaries with the Triumphal Square, of course, must work out - no, not “the money of the Washington regional committee”, but their own symbolic capital of the “opposition leaders”. And why the rest is all? Who came up with that one hundred thousand on the Manezhnaya Square of the capital will help to save the regime doomed in a historical perspective? It is really doomed, since one of two basic scenarios will ultimately be implemented at the end - either the bureaucratic machine will turn from a set of autocrats into the service, or a disaster scenario will occur - it is not unbstvined, in the form of the collapse of the country, its wilting or revolution.
In the first and second case, the regime will be different, non -Putin, and no matter who will be the formal head of state then.
The meaning in support rallies is seen situational, bureaucratic and formal. Protests are expected against “ours” (our organized, invented and warmly stinted) elections. On which our bosses won - what the hell is the “national leader” or even just “candidate of the majority”, the bureaucracy does not know how to think so in principle!
The expected protest from, sorry for the expression, “angry townspeople” simply requires the bureaucracy of a reaction that is intelligible for the authorities (then it was also needed by falsification in non -alternative elections, and not to maintain power at all).
With "angry townspeople" everything is different, but in the sense of rationality is much worse. It is clear that their "angry" has not gone anywhere. But what are they angry with and what can be a positive way out of here? For any revision of the election results, bureaucrats - neither in general, God forbid, or even in the privileges - will not go, to allow “angry” to the “Effective Managers” management are also unprepared. They did not falsify all this and proved their significance to the authorities, then to share the fruits of their victory. For other claims to the managerial levers, they have riot police, which was demonstrated by the remaining opposition protests after the completion of the rally.
From an emotional point of view, the previous rallies of protest were to a large extent as follows: each particular person tried to show that he is, that he exists. And see if there are still the same as him. It is obvious that there are hundreds of thousands of such people only in the capital, and in the country, it turns out, millions. Both the bureaucracy (and the highest authorities) are frankly afraid of this, because under the threat of threat of “control of power” and falling in the near future, one of the above scenarios described above.
However, mass gatherings are becoming less meaningful, since the main goal is to see that I have already been achieved a lot. And the action no longer has a political exit: everything that the bureaucracy could already come to, is promised, otherwise - not imitating - it is unlikely to be expected before a change in the regime.
And to change the “regime” - in the sense of turning the apparatchik into the performer of the will of the will, but citizens - mass rallies are hardly possible.
The "angry" scared the bureaucrat - he answered. As he can - stupid and meaningless. As a bad political strategist, say, from Saratov: he drove the crowd, gave her banners, sent a provocateur rally to someone else's rally. And he posted on the network (games in the innovation and modernization of the outgoing reign did not go to the gift) wiretapping with negotiations of a prominent full -time revolutionary.
What to gather next? And fight for what? The space of the struggle for the "angry" should obviously go beyond the area. However, the self-organization in any serious political structures for them is not even tomorrow's question, because disputes begin on the issue of symbolism. Talking about the “campaign in the people” or “further systematic work for the good of the Fatherland” is also given to something utopian (plus to that, we all read in history textbooks). The rallies are over, mentally exhaled. However, there is no positive scenario further. Not to consider for such a creation of a new type of party there, promised by Mikhail Prokhorov.
