You can’t go to the elections, it is a booth, and a voting voter or involuntarily becomes an accomplice of the Putin regime. It is necessary to go to the elections, because democracy is a procedure and you need to use any chance to practice, opposing the authorities. Are you going to go to the polls? You are a weak, if not a direct Kremlin agent. Are you going to boycott? You betray ideals.
I envy people with an active life position. Those who know exactly where to go or not go, what to do or not to do. I admire people who are able to find the only right solution in any, most hopeless situation. I worship these people.
Meanwhile, this time the situation is formed so that the Almighty may be mistaken. Those and these, calling for the sabotage of the elections and calling the liberal oriented people to the urns. I believe that the correct answer should sound like this: I don't know.
Too many arguments accumulated for and against.
It is clear, of course, that the event scheduled on Sunday is difficult to name. Its farce character is obvious. Since the so -called systemic opposition parties are branches of the Party of power, and the non -systemic for many years were successfully expelled from politics. With the help of the most diverse tools, including an administrative resource, spoilers, criminal processes, total discredit and bullets. Therefore, it is impossible to talk about equal conditions and honest competition. And there is no more chance of winning victory or there are no more prizes with an apple than paralympians who mart one with healthy athletes. In addition, pumped doping.
However, it is clear and another. The power in the Kremlin, obsessed with a special kind of legitimacy, for which he called on Pamfilov in the CEC, and allowed the explicit enemies to participate in the television battles that she wishes a pure triumph. That is, the constitutional majority for the pjiv with the branches attached to it - and no "apples". For after September 18, the process, which in Putin’s Russian is called "economic stabilization", will accelerate, and it is important that the poor population is in a putty. The postcrymist people who will choose those whom he will choose, if democratically tuned citizens will not go to the masses, will give power to the map of the card blanche for any action. Including the rigid twisting of nuts within the country and an extremely aggressive foreign policy.
Therefore, it makes sense to go to the polls and go to the authorities slightly spoil the holiday. At the same time, to practice in that sport excluded from the program, which is called representative democracy, and if you do not catch up with violators of the anti -doping code, then at least warm up. Hoping at the same time to carry out several people in the parliament, who can clearly object to the Okhotnotskoye mass, when it will vote for the Chinese Internet, the North Korean economy, the Uzbek immortality of Bogdykhan and in general for the world war. This will not save anyone, but somehow comfort, or something.
On the other hand, there are such times in Russia when disagreements live and express their opinions with impunity only from the oversight of the government. Or for the reason that the authorities want to listen to them and look at them in order to remember well. In this connection, another question arises, a rather sad properties: do we substitute a few of our chosen ones, helping them go to the Duma? Still, a zoo with open cells, into which our sacred power is turned through the efforts of the leadership, not the best place for legislative activity within the lonely protest picket.
Of course, capitulant sentiments, especially on the eve of the elections, should not be heated, but who will entrust that these anxiety are empty and groundless? In the end, I will not reveal secrets if I say that the indestructible unity of the party and the electorate in modern Russia is based not only on the general almost voluntary extension. This is the upper layer, visible to the eye of hungering and mobilization, but other rocks lie deep under them, blood flows and fear nests.
The Putin era - it has long begun, and the unspoken public agreements that the authorities concluded with the people changed from time to time. So, a couple of years ago, an agreement ceased to operate, according to which the authorities pledged not to pay attention to citizens if they did not pose the slightest danger to the authorities. Now the paragraphs of this agreement are being clarified, and not every burgher who bucked something soulless in his kitchen will avoid arrest, and not every poet will avoid punishment for extremism.
But the contract concluded in the last millennium, in the fall of 1999, is still in force: we will vote for you, but you no longer explode us. And this is an important document, and each time, after the next elections, citizens woke up in another country , who voted for the collective “apple”, in addition to the feeling of outrageous deception and shame, another, a more subtle feeling arose. You can’t determine it on the move, but only with the help of some complex design, such as "could be much worse." If they won and began to exert serious pressure on Putin. And even shift Putin in order to change the political course.
It was a sense of hostage, which arose long before the Nord-Ost and Beslan, the war of Georgian and Ukrainian. It does not let go now, when you think about whether it is necessary to go to vote, and about those for whom it would be worth casting a voice. So there is a dilemma, and if at that moment you remembered, for example, about Boris Nemtsov, then our thoughts move about the same direction. In the direction that indicates the path to nowhere, and tens of millions of compatriots, regardless of their social temperament and political beliefs, are now moving this true road. A whole country that does not know where they lead her, to whom she trusts her fate and for whom she votes.
Well, I don't know. We should go, but it turns from the soul. It would be necessary to skip, but embarrassed.
