About the conflict between Pavel Gusev and deputies of the State Duma

During the First World War there was one German submarine captain. He experienced the defeat of Germany very hard and went into religion, becoming a Protestant priest. When Hitler came to power, he was arrested. He was sent to a camp and survived. And when he came out, he wrote a book, the words of which, of course, are not a motto, but are very important to me:

“When they came for the Jews, I kept silent, because I’m not a Jew. When they came for the communists, I kept silent, because I’m not a communist. When they came for the trade union members, I kept silent, because I’m not a trade union member. And when they came for the Catholics , I kept silent because I’m not a Catholic, and when they came for me, there was no one to talk to..."

I always tell everyone: when they came for him, it means they came for you. Just keep this in mind.

Now, for example, they are “coming” for Pavel Gusev, the editor-in-chief of Moskovsky Komsomolets. The reason was the appearance of material in which State Duma deputies were called political prostitutes.

Of course, everything was immediately changed in the State Duma. They said that the women were called prostitutes. Apparently, the deputies did not read Lenin, who introduced this expression into political ideology.

I was very interested in whether journalists would stand up for Gusev, realizing that if they could cope with Gusev, they would also cope with them.

So far it seems like yes, they are up.
