Matvey Ganapolsky: “They” and “You”

“Today is Boris Nemtsov’s birthday, and today a monument to him was unveiled at the cemetery. Everything is worthy - those who understand who the country lost were able to honor his memory. And the country lost a lot with his death. There is one pompous phrase that refers specifically to to this occasion. Now there is no one to “raise your voice.”

Everyone understood perfectly well that no party from the opposition could defeat the party in power. Even if Nemtsov had been broadcasting around the clock about his brochures, which describe theft, on election day the freeloaders would have voted for Putin, because whoever gives the pension supplement is the boss.

But the political life of the country cannot consist only of political punks blindly carrying out orders from the courtyard."
