The Commander -in -Chief of the Russian Guard compared the protests in Russia with "color revolutions"

Protest actions in Russia acquire a systemic character and become similar to "color revolutions." This was stated by the Commander -in -Chief of the Russian Guard Viktor Zolotov in an interfax.

“Protest actions have obvious systematicity and are held according to similar scenarios that“ color revolutions ”in other countries. The true goals of the fight against corruption are replaced by general destabilization, the creation of chaos. Under the pretext of violations of rights and democratic freedoms in Russia, the media of the European Union, Great Britain and the United States conduct constant information attacks to discredit the political leadership of our country,” Zolotov said.

The Commander -in -Chief called one of the main tasks of his department to counteract attempts to destabilize the situation in the country. "The Russian Guard already has a similar experience. Countering attempts at destabilization has always been one of the main tasks of the law enforcement troops," Zolotov said.

The methods of "shaking the situation" in society, "often based on the feelings of respectable citizens, are all tricks and sophisticated," for which the Internet is actively used, the Commander -in -Chief of the Russian Guard emphasized. Therefore, the opposition of the "socio-political destabilization" should be provided, first of all, in the information space. Zolotov said that the Russian Guard "actively predicts and analyzes the operational situation" and takes into account the emergence of "new forms of illegal behavior."

On the eve of Vladimir Putin during a direct line stated that protests in Russia are organized for “self -disclosure” and are used for provocation and exacerbation of the situation . “I am ready to talk with everyone who is really aimed at improving people's lives, aimed at solving problems facing the country, and not to use the difficulties - and difficulties are always and everywhere - for their own political PR. To use difficulties as an instrument for their own promotion, in order to cash in the political sense on these difficulties, only aggravating them.

At the same time, the President compared the opposition to management companies in the field of housing and communal services. "Their (company. - Ed.) It is necessary to deprive this right to be an intermediary in cash flows. Here is the same with the opposition. Some of them in this sense are no better, they speculate on problems. We must not speculate, but offer a solution. Those who offer the solution are people who deserve the closest attention, they have the right to dialogue with the authorities, we will do Putin.
