The dilemma of the prisoner

Russia will be disgraced in different ways.

It happens that tanks are introduced into a foreign country and are located there in a kind of friendly, as if forever. It happens that houses are grabbed by some disagreement, protesting, say, against the invasion of a foreign country, and they are demolished and condemned. The hybrid version is worthy of mention. This is when they invade, abduct foreigners and plant them for resisting.

They glorify the shame in every way. With a sense of duty and deep satisfaction, which is achieved immediately after the entry of tanks. With anger and contempt for those who dared to be ashamed of this feeling. With amazement and mocking longing, as well as with an unkind gloating.

For example, Maria Zakharova - she is simply shocked by the statement of John Kerry, who wished to stand up for Nadezhda Savchenko. Or he, this Kerry, does not know that it is unacceptable to put pressure on the Russian court? But aren't they languishing in prisons of the State Department "Victims of the American leftological manion (Bout, Yaroshenko ...)"? And about Guantanamo what do you tell us, Mr.? In this spirit, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry is polemicizing with the US Secretary of State, even suspecting that he was replaced and this was not he said about Savchenko. Although she does not know what Kerry is capable of.

On the contrary, Igor Morozov, discussing with Europeans, knows who he was dealing with. That is why it does without rhetorical questions and even pronounces Savchenko with a harsh personal sentence, without waiting for a symmetrical judicial verdict. The senator is directly chopping, with Roman directness: "She was convicted as a person involved in the murder of Russian journalists, this is proved, she pleaded guilty." And if you ask him that he had heard about Savchenko’s case at all, then the indicated Morozov will probably mean the questioner from the heart. What I want, they say, I’m turning, we have the whole upper house. Collected in order to jointly shame Russia with the lower house (but we will add this from ourselves).

The universal shame is also erased in different ways.

It happens that leaflets are scattered, posters are glued or poems write by foxing the authorities who disgrace the Fatherland. Our tanks , you see, on someone else's land , but this is not good. It also happens that citizens go to the square, protesting and undergoing repressions, which is already mentioned above. In fact, these are indissoluble things: the crimes that the state committed, and the punishment with which it suffers those who have experienced shame and expressed disagreement.

As a result, a curious tandem of power and people is formed. The authorities will disgrace Russia. Citizens save the honor of the country.

Yesterday we witnessed the next conflict on our basis.

In prison, Nadezhda Savchenko continued to starve, abducted, attracted to court and already convicted (according to Morozov, but how could he not believe). In Moscow and other cities, not the first time, dozens of Russian citizens went to their pickets . Of course, they were tied , almost everyone, and this spectacle caused directly opposite feelings. The feeling of pitch national shame. A sense of pain and pride in Russians who stand up for both the Ukrainian Politzchka, and for themselves, and for their unfortunate homeland. From the last forces. It is terribly not easy to save the honor of Russia.

And today, shares in defense of Nadezhda Savchenko are held around the world. Against the background of the court, which, as the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation is able to protect and announces the already completed member of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs. Against the background of a deadly hunger strike.

The situation develops simultaneously extremely clear and absolutely unpredictable. It is clear where the good is, and where Russia, the most striking speaker of which is now Zhirinovsky, calling to immediately shoot either the deputy PACE. It is not known whether Savchenko will survive and how her fate will turn out if he survives. And what will happen to the country, whose reputation in these March days turned out to be tightly related to the fate of a Ukrainian citizen. What will turn into: the usual shame or a wonderful change of fate?

So far, everyone has performed in full accordance with the tradition that has been rooted for a long time. Officials were either silent or glorified a shame, which successfully exacerbated him. These were the obvious enemies of Russia, who was fatally lucky with the authorities. However, there were those who tried to protect the country from internal enemies, and their voices sound quite loudly.

When they stand in the square with their posters. When they are pushed into a car zak and they protest. When on World Support Day Savchenko on different continents, mainly Russian speech is heard, drowning out the roar of tanks, the howl of Zhirinovsky and the statements of other official representatives. Two Russia, as usual, look at each other today, disgraced and freed from shame, and they do not get together and do not disperse, and this is still a very long time.
