Save Russia

A positive political program should be completely simple - to save Russia.

Do not equip, not reform, do not revive; These tasks today are already quite unbearable, this is already for great -grandchildren. For the generation that lives now, nothing of the kind has to be: neither to the stars fly, nor the bridge in the Crimea to build, nor make Russia the center of the world. The task that is visible now is less and at the same time more ambitious, literally-to save Russia, to save, to make sure that there is something left here after those that are now in the Kremlin. So that after them there was something else that could be said about-this is our country. The future is generally in no way connected with the current well -being or dysfunction, there are a lot of examples when from brand new buildings it blows deadly, and ruins often look like the most living form of life. Even if Putin leaves Russia in ruins, the salvation of Russia will remain an open issue.

There is no game of words, there is no paradox here, to save is to save. News of recent times, in general, any, after all, there is nothing good in them. Offshores of the cellist and the National Guard. On TV, Kasyanov sleeps with a woman, and some woman walks with a shovel around the grave of Nemtsov and wants to dig him out. Igor Strelkov at the Economic Forum, Zakhar Prilepin at the Congress of the Rodina party. In Moscow, an old apartment building was demolished , and in a quiet seaside town, on the contrary, a fourteen -story tower sticks into the sea shore . The blonde working on Navalny challenges the blonde working on Khodorkovsky and will fight her in the elections to the State Duma in the district, forever recorded by the last chairman of the Moscow City Council; It is believed that this is a political struggle. Minister Medinsky denies Stalinist repressions, a member of the Zolotov Security Council will bow to veterans of the NKVD troops. You can calmly think about such times only if we assume that they will end soon, otherwise it is completely unbearable, but okay, let not soon, let it be in ten years or twenty, and if you think about new times, what is it worth worrying first of all?

In order for the National Guard, if it comes to shooting, she shot as few people as possible. So that the cellist does not take everything that can be taken to offshore to a penny. So that not everyone is demolished in Moscow, but in protected corners, on the contrary, not everyone built up. In order for Stalin to take Medinsky and Zolotov with them, and so that he only remains bright for them. So that there was someone to choose and elect. So that the connections between people and between the cities do not break. So that it does not occur to anyone to remember the first half of the tenths as a good time that I would like to return. So that the numerous opportunities to lose human appearance pass by, and that there are as many people around as possible, who also did not lose it. Probably so.

Extreme public administration, which has become the fundamental feature of the last Putin term, has made extreme life in Russia. All human qualities, manifested in an extreme situation, are fear, fearlessness, and hysteria, and calm - all this today is exploited by power. Fearless? You to war or in jail. Are you afraid? Sit write posts in social networks. Are you nervous? Participate in permitted forms of political activity. Do you want to keep calm? Seek any news. All roles are painted and approved, and everyone does a common cause - they live in an extreme situation.

To save Russia is to save itself, to avoid the role that everyone is assigned to Extreme Public Administration

For a long time, a common place began to say that Russia lacks civil society, that we are not citizens at all. That's right, the existing system gives us the fate of subjects. One -rooted words - "subject" and "succumb"; It can be assumed that the first step towards to stop being a subject is to stop succumbing, that is, to abandon the assigned role, to get out of an extreme situation. The authorities are doing everything so that this situation concerns everyone, to be universal, but so far this goal is not achieved - there is a space of private life (perhaps that is why in the new season NTV attacks the private life of the opposition in bed and in the grave), there is a culture (the turn of Serov, which surprised everyone - yes, of course, it was a massive interchangeable escape), there is a memory (why, you think, about Stalin today, about Stalin, about Stalin about Stalin about Stalin about Stalin about Stalin about Stalin about Stalin about Stalin about Stalin about Stalin about Stalin about Stalin about Stalin about Stalin about Stalin about Stalin. As if he is an acting politician who is about to come to power?)-That's what to run there. And everyone who runs away, without even thinking about it, takes Russia with him. Russia in the form of an old lane, to which Sobyanin has not yet reached; Russia in the form of a book that no one has long re -read; Russia in the form of the image of the country in which tomorrow you will want to live.

This is a positive program - the salvation of Russia as a large number of people as possible, who realized that Russia is them, and not at all a Putin state, whose prospects are foggy and non -obvious. To save Russia is to save itself, to avoid the role that everyone is assigned to everyone in extreme public administration. The coordinate system, in which there are opposition and guards, supporters of Novorossia and people with Ukrainian flags, lovers of change in Tsoi or Putin (and he has every day of change)-everyone needs to come out of it. Russia is located outside this system of coordinates, and Russia needs to be saved.
