Dissident Dadin. This is not politics, it is much more important

In the classic story, O. Genri two gangsters abducted a little boy who decided that the bandits play with him in the Indians, and joined the game with pleasure. The game turned out to be so painful for the abductors that they first reduced the cost of ransom, then agreed to let the child just like that, and when it turned out that he himself did not want to go home, turned to his father for help and even paid him for the fact that he would save them from the society of a young hostage. If suddenly someone wants to film this story on modern material, then the role of a kidnapped child, of course, should be given to Ildar Dadin, despite his childish age and appearance-the plot of the “leader of the red-skinned” he brilliantly embodied in his relations with the repressive mechanisms of the Russian state.

The system grabbed him, and then did not know where to put him. The system choked on Dadin, the system could not stand it, the system considered it the good to free it itself in order to get rid of the daily headache brought by him and related structures, from the Stalinist times, designed for absolute humility and the lack of their victims. Veterans of the protest movement recall that Dadin has always been like that, and that the usual protesters at one time were even afraid to find himself in the same autosak - he always knew how to bring to rabies even the most non -aggressive riot police, who, as a result, became aggressive, and from this those who were not ready, like Dadin, argued with them, proving them to the wrong way. The whole prison epic of Dadina is a real civil feat, and he leaves the Altai colony by the winner. His wife promises to persuade him to leave Russia, but for some reason it seems that rather we will see him again with some fierce anti-Putin poster on Manezhnaya Square than on passport control in Sheremetyevo. The old slogan of the radicals - “We are maniacs, we will prove,” today it belongs to Ildar Dadin. He is a maniac, he proved.

Where are the money subscribers going

Most Republic materials are available by paid subscription. We believe that this is a good way to finance media. After all, as you know, if you have not paid for reading it, then someone else paid for you to read it. In our case, everything is honest: from your money, salaries and fees are paid to journalists, and they write about important and interesting topics for you.

The key feature of our subscription: your money is distributed between Republic magazines depending on how you read it. If you read the materials of one magazine, then your money will go only to him, while others will not go. That is, you finance only what you are interested in.

Republic uses the Redefine.media subscription. For design, we will redirect you to the Redefine.media website, where you will need to register and pay for the subscription. Authorization on the Redefine.Media website will allow you to read Republic materials from the same device.

A year subscription is more profitable than a month. And if you want to unsubscribe, this can always be done in your personal account.
