May Day uncertainty

Official 140 thousand partially purchased, partially sent according to the order of the participants of the official May Day demonstration, both clown-duumvirs for the first time in history at the head of the columns, “The swamp has dried up,” “Recognize the victory of the people,” etc. etc.

What is all this for? For what? Who should be convinced and of what?

Those who realized that the current government is the enemy of their country and their personal enemy? Hardly. Everything is clear to them. There are also unlikely to be any participants in the demonstration. They know the value of a sincere outburst of enthusiasm that gathered an unprecedented number of demonstrators on Tverskaya Street. Gullible TV viewers afraid of change, the support of the regime? But what should we convince them of? Is it that the government is strong and enjoys popular support? There is probably such a motive, but it’s not worth trying too hard for it. There was no need to round up so many people for his sake. There was no need to undermine the sacredness of power with the unusual phenomenon of Putin, mincing after Medvedev, demanding a demonstration of fake trade unions for something unknown and from whom.

Then why? I think in order to overcome my horror and uncertainty, to strengthen myself in the readiness to confront history. These attempts are a sign of panic fear of the ghost of Bolotnaya Square and Sakharov Avenue, of the commander’s steps that are already ringing in their ears.

Well, this fear is not unfounded. Quite the contrary. The past winter is just a harbinger of the future, from which there is no escape. And the more the top of this regime engages in self-hypnosis, the more unexpected and harsh the reality of its end will be. I guess the wait won't be that long.
