No, well, the idea of punitive psychiatry is, of course, not new. Especially considering that our regime now is of the Brezhnev type, and then they loved this business very much. Under Stalin they imprisoned and shot, and under Brezhnev they tried to treat.
However, a psychiatric hospital in the USSR was not very different from a prison, and those who were diagnosed had even fewer rights than prisoners, but it seems like a patient is not a criminal... but also not a full-fledged Soviet person - an animal, in in general. You can sometimes let him out into the wild, but it’s better in a cage.
A certain figure came to me in the comments here in a post about KVN . Not that it’s completely Trololo, maybe it’s really a KVN-schik from one of the current ones that I wrote about. Very verbose and demonstrative for a troll - he loves himself and his own statements more than those of others...
Well, since he couldn’t really joke about the fact that we, damned spies, want to bring American troops here and shoot and lustrate all honest Putinites and their sympathizers - I somehow agreed with all this, and did not make excuses at all, then he He became sad and started writing to me that I was sick...
At this point I was starting to get curious, and I decided to look at my friend’s personal account. And there is an empty LiveJournal and Tanya OGF is a friend. In general, the diagnosis became clear to me immediately. And then the comrade somehow became despondent and started telling me in a personal message that he had accidentally friended Tanya OGF (as if I cared about that), that, supposedly, he himself, among the opposition, was collecting our clinical picture of the disease for some dissertation . Moreover, from the nonsense that he spouted, it is clearly clear that the person does not even have a higher education and is far from understanding the methods of scientific research... In general, he amused me, of course, from the bottom of my heart.. But all this is not really interesting - amateurs in There is always a lot of interference in our scientific field, especially when they start to worry about whether everything is in order in their heads - they immediately run away towards rationalization and projections, this is nothing new.
I liked this obvious fear and the realization that we are actually on different shores more. Whatever explanation they are looking for for the situation - whether we are spies, or whether we are completely sick - but the understanding of the firm stability of our position definitely frightens them very much. Because, apparently, before that they had hopes of somehow retraining us, luring us away by eliminating the leaders.
Now they are panicking, because when in the country there is a backbone of many thousands of those who think the same in terms of attitudes towards elements of their society, and are clearly not going to change their point of view under their pressure, then the solution is either to build new Gulags, or something else... then we will be liquidated en masse. Or our number will only grow and grow - time is on our side. And so does the enlightened European community. And on them - an old man who is becoming decrepit every day and a bunch of Crooks and Thieves on a gas-oil pipe.
And I must say that since I am in Ukraine now, and here the gas problem is covered daily and comprehensively in the press - Europe is quite quickly getting off their gas needle, Nord Stream is already practically unprofitable - in general, until the moment when Putin becomes completely uninteresting to his Western partners - there really isn't much time left.
And to have such a powerful structure, independent of them, within the country as we do, is a very unaffordable luxury and the sword of Domocles is over each of them. Alas, but also over each of us.
In general, the realization that we will not dissolve on our own and will not recover from our dislike for Putin is finally dawning on them.
What's next?
