“It took a long time for the leaders of the opposition to get it, like a giraffe. But better late than never. Back in December 2011, it became clear that people would soon get tired of going to opposition rallies just like that. It was necessary to use these rallies to put pressure on specific pain points, to gather for real reasons, and not just set a date pulled out of thin air and go to rallies as if it were work, just because “it’s necessary.”
Walking not for business, but according to the calendar led to the fact that ordinary people simply stopped going, and the backbone of street actions were nationalists and “reds”. And only the March against scoundrels showed that the protest had not faded away, that discontent had not gone away."
