The unspoken in person: Naryshkin and PACE

So, the responsible comrade Sergei Evgenievich Naryshkin refused to go to the session of the Council of Europe. So he took it and didn’t go, amid cheerful cries of supporters about “Euro-Russophobia.”

But this is by no means the saddest fact. To be honest, we have never associated anything with Naryshkin, who courageously listens to complaints in person. That is, the qualitative situation with human rights from this unhappy session in our unhappy country would not have changed one iota.

Something else saddens me: that very soon Mr. Leontyev will declare with all his reinforced concrete confidence (if he has not already stated) that now not only the bastard Americans are against us, but also the Europeans they bought.

In short, everyone is against us and “get up, the country is huge.” And our valiant fellow citizens, not so experienced in searching for the truth, but loving conspiracy theories, will believe this bearded man with honest eyes. They will not understand that “everyone is against us” often means that practically no one is “for us”.

But this already suggests the possibility that, apparently, something is wrong with ourselves.

No, of course, what can be said about Naryshkin’s act on the merits other than this? Yes, in the eyes of the authorities this is a “strong act”. I emphasize, in the eyes of the authorities. During this time, what kind of “mirrors” this very power has, you and I have understood.

It's good if you're blind. Although, it seems to me, they are more reminiscent of the eyes of a drug addict on LSD - for some reason everything is in bright colors...

So the speaker of our Duma will not hear in person what enlightened Europe thinks about Gudkov, PussyRiot and our courts. The whole world will hear, but he won’t.

And where do they recruit them?..
