Avoski and seeds
Last fall, I was on a business trip in the village of Melovoye, Lugansk region , right on the border with Russia. No signs of the upcoming appearance of the "Lugansk People’s Republic" or at least some movement "for joining Russia" did not exist, as there was no Russian army near the border. The main specialization of chalk is the production of sunflower oil. A local small entrepreneur launched a motor working on waste - a husk of sunflower seeds, which he received from the oil plant. Why such a motor is needed simply: "We have no oil, like yours, we have to get out. And we would live in Russia - and there would be abandoned fields, like yours."
Something, and there are enough empty fields. But a year ago, in Moscow it was possible to be convinced in the weekend markets, finding the last of small entrepreneurs, farmers there. They sold pumpkin juice, Vologda oil, mushrooms from the Moscow Region, sea buckthorn and other products that even Gennady Onishchenko would be pleased. Now the mayor of Sobyanin closed all the markets. The merchants, who were asked to get out, explained that it was because of the "pogroms in Biryulev"-they say, the inhabitants themselves wanted it.
Recently, from the underground crossing near my apartment (known for the fact that for a long time the indelible inscription "Who, if not Putin ??", until two persistent local residents, had been wiped out), all the kiosks disappeared. There was also shoe repair. I’m calling the shoemaker (I'm stubborn): "Where are you? And then I brought you shoes." He replies: "The hormost lifted up the rent, everyone moved away."
And now it turned out that the kiosks are closed under Pushkinskaya Square, and in connection with which they demanded that the avoster be released in ten days. Avoski is a project of social entrepreneurship, which gave work to disabled people. By tradition, blind people weaved by tradition, but they painted deaf. In the 21st century, environmentally friendly grocery bags could well be in demand. The underpass was an option for cheap rental. It turns out that the Moscow City Hall not only had no opportunity to support this project, but also not to interfere with its development. The petition of the Avosechniks, the cities of the city hall ignored the scream. After all, the mayor is busy, do not distract him by trifles. He, as an oil and gas specialist, together with Putin and Miller, went to negotiate in China about the sensational "historical geopolitical contract."
In general, longing. It seems that the phrase “will make you circumcision so that nothing more has grown”, applies to a lot, including the initiatives in the small business. The Moscow consumer is driven into chain stores, small entrepreneurs are choke on taxes and rent. Probably, the authorities, as always, pursue several goals. For example, one can deliberately prevent the creation of a middle class that would learn to think independently, and not as the TV orders. Maybe the handling of a small business is not an oversight, but a sabotage, because the entrepreneurs massively entered the rallies "for honest elections" 2011-12?
If all these people will not, large companies and teachers will remain in the country, doctors are municipal employees whose political views are reduced to the principle of "Putin forever." In general, it remains to wait for oil to end. So that something finally has grown.
