Where is the war? Which? Yes. The same, civilian. Between red and white. Between the Putin cooperative, plus Uralvagonzavodkolkhoz and those who have a historical experience spent the night in the gyrus. Between the Orthodox gopot and the cultural layer. Between the three-and-chin-oligarchs who sawed the country, and excellent students-blogers-sknigos who know what social sanity is. At the same time, about spectators, a multi -million passive gallery, which always puts on the winner, cannot be silent, because it is she who decides almost everything. Including the fact that there is no or little blood yet. Because it has not been formed and only a request for bloody repressions is formed. Only faces in the optical sight of hatred. Only trembling in his hands and Roman Trifonov “impatience” as an apostrophe.
The brutal, evil, vengeful laws adopted by the Putin regime are not just a textbook screwing of the nuts, not only the destruction of a society that has appeared, is the mobilization and expectation of an echo, the response of the audience, the very silent gallery. Will she take on a “cheers” under the guise of Mochilov of Internet purposes soft stalinization and rigid fundamentalization of the whole country? Will it require a lot of blood? Did it ripen for the Civil War, as already matured for the war of words? Is she ready for social handouts and nationalist flattery to the whole overweight corps to turn into the past?
But there is no need to be encouraged that there is no answer yet. Without a war, without confirming verbal threats, without setting up what is very vaguely called cattle , that the Putin ’s cloak will no longer be able to maintain power. And do not reassure yourself with a mantra about the fact that the thread will surely break and the cleansing explosion will come. Maybe someday it will break. Maybe tomorrow (but hardly). Maybe never. Maybe cleaning. Maybe an explosion of such dirt that was not. Or maybe everything will stretch endlessly. That is, the regime does not crawl until it becomes older and decays. From him will become from us.
Another myth that Putin and his regime are afraid. Well, they are afraid, so what? Moreover, they are not more afraid than others in a similar situation, when not only I do not want to give the authorities, but also impossible. And not so they are afraid of the West, which today seems to some the last argument in the dispute. Like, only the expansion of the “Magnitsky Law”, only the threat of their commoncage, their grandmas in foreign accounts, their children in Oxford and Harvard can keep Putin from real repressions, which, by and large, have already begun. The West never went to confrontation with the scoop and other authoritarian-trendy regimes of purely humanitarian considerations. Not in the name of ideas, but in accordance with the logic of interests. And even then only when the victory was provided. Say, as with Milosevich or Gaddafi. Neither America nor Europe will fight with Putin’s Russia seriously. There is exactly the same consumption society, only arranged on a more stable, more traditionally understandable basis.
The Magnitsky Law is a much more internal business of America than the calculated seizure of gloomyness. This is a gesture of domestic political discussion between those who in the same package with the support of civil society in Russia are laid down with a colored ribbon of shares of their own political victory. And those who are ready to endure Putin, slightly bothering him with human rights rhetoric, rarely confirmed by cases. For us, for the right to have a little more human society without total hypocrisy, without constant humiliation of ourselves and our own ideas about the level of permissible political lies and cruelty, no one will fight. Not Syria tea, not Iraq with Iran.
And, of course, without the support of a silent passive majority, which Putin is tired of, but social hatred of smart ones is still stronger, he would not have lasted six months. Flesh from the flesh, the spirit from the spirit, the apple from the apple tree. Instead of ideas - a fanning mold of wretched Orthodoxy with frankly stupid liar and hypocrites at the head. The essence is not in the faith that is a private business. The essence of the replacement of intelligible ideology and intelligible rules of social competition and discussion - a linden leaf of imperial obscurantism, covering the forbidden fruit of frank and primitive self -love.
At the top of the authorities, both in the world and in the church, people who have lost their sense and shame crowded to whom the lie replaces the words and overshadows the mind. Cruel, merciless, without a distant taste of Christian humility and in general Christianity. One arrogant nationalist and imperial arrogance on the foundation of the abbreviation and Simony. And this is especially insulting today, since Russian society has incredibly grew in recent years: culturally more meaningful, socially matured, it deserves not a threat of a civil war, but painstaking work with a sane power and at the same time with an equally sane of law enforcement. But in the future, another lost generation, which is chosen as beating boys only because it is the crowd who shouts “ATU, ATU” faster. And because the smart is much more understandable to the formula of shame as a synonym for social benefits.
