Midnight Column

The situation with the “March of Millions” is becoming more and more comical. Everyone agrees with its inappropriateness, meaninglessness, uselessness. Everyone understands perfectly well that no one will come. Late. The train has left. The situation has changed and requires a radical change in tactics. However, the organizers continue to fight with the mayor's office.

For what? To prove to themselves the fact of their existence? To save face? Like, no one came because the authorities didn’t allow it?

In general, with the “March of Millions” the opposition is committing the second stupidity after the Astrakhan hunger strike. Once again she discredits herself.

He said - answer for the market. Don't back down. He promised to bring millions to the streets, but gathered a handful of romantic enthusiasts - draw conclusions that are not the most pleasant for yourself, and do not blame your failures on the machinations of the bloody regime. Otherwise, how are you different from the current government, which does not consider words and promises to be something serious that needs to be answered for?

In general, our oppositionists behave like capricious children. For some reason they decided that the authorities were obliged to enter into dialogue with them and listen to their advice. What hangover, exactly? And they throw a tantrum if the Kremlin sends them to hell. Our opposition is touchy.

Lenin and Trotsky were not offended by anyone. They were just doing their job. They understood that in Russia there could be no “dialogue” between the authorities and the opposition. But the democratic opposition is the last hope for a civilized and peaceful change of power.

A revolution that was not prepared and led by the opposition was always called a riot and a massacre.
