Vadim Vostrov: “You can continue to“ grunt ”about the problems of ecology in your social networks”

I read a lot of reviews following the results of the rally "For Clear Sky." They write who is what and everyone about something about something. I will write a few important, in my opinion, results.

1) “Oh, how few people” - some write, “oh how unexpectedly a lot” - others write. Both the first and the latter are right.

Very little - because for a million city with such a terrible ecology, tens of thousands should enter such rallies. And a lot - because everyone probably forgot in which country and in what political situation we live: the last 6 years the authorities have been trying to stop and suppress any public protest.

And this was not just some rally, but a rally of protest, and it was directed, it is scary to say against whom-against the authorities (regional and urban), which inefficiently solve environmental problems, or rather, practically does not solve them at all. And it was the largest protest promotion after 2011. If the authorities think that there will no longer be larger, then let him continue to play the Russian roulette. I would think deeply in their place. 2) What is all this practical meaning? Already many spoke on the topic: “Why go out?”, “You won’t solve anything with rallies”, “We must solve the problems of ecology differently” and so on. Some are trying to sense a public protest, hinting that someone is trying to use people for political purposes, “there is something unclean here”, “and who is beneficial to rock the boat”? - The whole usual set of stamps, usually used, when there is essentially nothing to say. So, in order.

For local authorities, environmental protests are a big problem. That is why they blocked and will try to block any social activity further, and will also try to discredit it. This is on the one hand.

And on the other hand, the authorities will somehow solve environmental problems and show the population that it decides them. And the more mass the public protest will be, the more intense the efforts of the authorities will be. The dependence here is almost direct.

If there is no protest activity, then the authorities will continue to solve the problem of the ecology with empty verbal interventions, as it has happened so far. Moreover, in the apt expression of the governor, "in Krasnoyarsk it always breathes." Less than a year later - the presidential election, in 2019 - the Universiade. Anyone who at least somehow understands politics understands that the regional authorities are panicky and does not want these two events to take place in conditions of public protest. Against this background, it is necessary to achieve radical solutions for ecology (the gasification of the region and an increase in hundreds of times on ecology), and we have a chance to achieve them, unless, of course, the protests are truly massive. A little cynical? Maybe. Did we leave another way out? Given the foregoing, everyone who on the eve of the rally urged not to go to him, claiming that it is pointless - either they did not understand anything in politics or are engaged by the authorities or FIGs, other options are not visible. 3) I am completely sure that the solution of problems with the ecology is entirely in the hands of the Krasnoyarski themselves. And here the position of citizens, to put it mildly, is depressing.

The number of people who call the editorial office and write on social networks hundreds of times higher than the number of protesters on Saturday. We observe the following picture: our people, as usual, really want someone to solve their problems for them.

They strongly demand from the media: “Why do you tell the authorities little and badly about the fact that we are suffocating? Why not all media reported to us about the upcoming rally? ” And on Saturday, during the rally, they skied and fotles on top of the city with the comments “Again in the city, you need to do something!”. Sorry, citizens, but you are completely insolent, your infantilism knows no boundaries.

You seriously think that there are some special people who have no more things to do, how to fight from morning to evening for your interests, sometimes falling on the embrasure? Will you watch this from the side, chewing popcorn and sometimes releasing caustic comments? No. As the hero of Nikita Mikhalkov said to waitress Lyudmila Gurchenko in the film “Station for Two”: “Herself, herself, herself” .... Therefore, let's yourself. And we will already respond to a popular request if it is truly massive. But, in principle, you can do nothing. You have been built a good oncological dispensary. There are a lot of excellent drugs against allergies. The places end in Badalyk, but the city authorities are already actively looking for a place for a new large cemetery in the vicinity of Krasnoyarsk. Everything for you, dear voters! So that you do nothing further, but only “grunt” about the problems of ecology in your cozy social networks .. Source: Facebook
