Don't throw beads

After waiting until passions calmed down a bit after May 6, the government went on the offensive. On Sunday, Alexandra Dukhanina, a member of Autonomous Action, was detained. Articles 212 and 318 of the Criminal Code. All the violence that she directed towards a representative of the authorities apparently consisted in the fact that the riot policeman was dragging her by the throat into a paddy wagon. Two more were detained on Monday. I wonder if those who, immediately after the massacre at the Stone Bridge , demanded that the provocateurs be punished, are rejoicing?

Yashin is indignant: “ We will defend Sasha. We will identify provocateurs and seek criminal prosecution .” What could be more absurd than putting forward demands on a government that you consider illegitimate?! It is even more foolish to expect that Kremlin agents will be punished at the first request. The provocateurs have done their job and will go into the shadows. The most active participants in the rally will be imprisoned and arrested.

When Manezhka happened, the investigators were not interested in any of the more than ten thousand participants, except for my comrades in the Other Russia party. When the Taganka case happened (our comrade Olga Shalina was recently imprisoned in connection with it), the attackers of the National Bolsheviks in one day turned from suspects into victims. One of the attackers, Leonid Simunin, the leader of the Lyubertsy branch of the pro-Kremlin group Local, is now part of the leadership of the recently concocted Cossack Party.

This will be the case with the Bolotnaya Case. They will imprison those whom the authorities consider dangerous. Others will be frightened by huge fines. Therefore, there is no need to throw pearls before swine and shake the air in vain. Get ready to continue the fight against the system and protect your comrades.

PS On Tuesday, the court unexpectedly chose a preventive measure in the form of house arrest(!) for Alexandra Dukhanina. I can’t understand what caused this decision, but I am sincerely glad that the person did not go to jail.
