The death of a pensioner

It turns out that the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation may be interested in what is happening not only in Ukraine, but also in its own country. Its employees will be engaged in death in the police department of the 81-year-old pensioner Rauza Galimova. The zealous workers of the Magnit supermarket suspected her of the theft of butter - and immediately called law enforcement officers.

This whole story is a bunch of cynicism, to which in Russia everyone is so accustomed that they stopped noticing it. The media specifically emphasize that the old woman was a blockade, which means a secured pensioner. And so she just did not need to steal this ill -fated oil, she could well pay for him. Well, imagine that Rausa Galimova did not experience the blockade, was not secured, took extra goods. Is this pack of oil - or three packs - really an occasion for bullying, calling the police, and official zeal? No, this is the most common attitude towards people.

It is much easier to stick to the Libe “Thanks to Grandfather for Victory”, to speak at some rally and tell you to watch the next series about bold Chekists, what wonderful veterans we have than just regret the old man. All these "saving" actually despise those whom they could thank - people who live on beggarly pensions and have never seen either Antalya, no Hurghada, or other simple joys of the Russian "middle class". And the replicas of the owner of the trading network - the real owner of life - is a concentrated contempt for ants swarming in his supermarkets. No need to escalate!

We are still surprised: how are the Russians do not worry about the war in Ukraine, why they are not worried about “cargo 200”, why no one is disturbed by the hunger strike of the pilot Savchenko, whose death can become another indelible spot on the already error reputation of the Russian state. Often I hear from people from around the world - "Yes, when will they get tired?" And when, in response, I say that the way out of the Russian situation may not be a folk protest, but another palace coup, the interlocutors look at me with bewilderment. But what kind of folk protest are people who enjoy mockery of a weak old woman? Or do we really think that such people are at only one cash desk of one supermarket? Yes, fullness. Look around you: they are everywhere. They, in fact, are now Russia.

We often believe that the current troubles of Russia from oil boom. Yes, Putin himself sat on the oil needle, and he planted compatriots. But in addition to the possibility of surviving on rent, Putin revived another great opportunity for the Soviet era - the right to mockery. From top to bottom. At the very top, the sovereign with close associates, who are allowed to even put pressure on their luxurious machines of the gaping slaves with impunity - let them run to the wool. And below all the meel, cashiers with guards, who remains only to take away the soul on the unfortunate old women.

And if you do not believe me, just buy some product and go with it to the supermarket unfamiliar to you. And then tell me if you managed to leave him without a scandal and offensive remarks. Ah, you won’t come to you like that, you are richly dressed and your last model is waiting on the street? So Rauza Galimova also did not look like a beggar. There was just a wonderful opportunity to mock her.

Nevertheless, think about it: this unfortunate woman, who starved in childhood and disgraced in old age, could be your grandmother. Or just a neighbor. Or a good friend. How would you then perceive these insults, these cries, this death in the police? Believe me, she did not deserve such a vile death.

And such a country did not deserve either.
