Vitaly Shakhov:
Why did Moses for forty years drive people in the desert? I waited for the people to come of them. A slave in the sixth generation himself cannot become free. Therefore, democratic institutions standard for the West are so bizarrely transformed in Russian reality.
Nevertheless, it is not very reasonable to “kill” the results of a street survey. It is worth taking into account all the nuances: the television cameras (and on the TV - Yanaev and K), complete ignorance (taking into account the time of the survey) plus the specifics of the sample (who walks on the commune during the day?).
I had a chance to spend this day quite violently in the decision of a number of “Organizations” and thus “interview” much more than 20 people: taxi drivers, engineers, urban and republican officials. It is clear that since my position was obvious, none of the “respondents” did not support the State Emergency Committee directly. Their reaction hesitated from “what to do” to “how to help specifically” (I do not mean democrats activists).
This is also not a representative sample ... but still. Not everything is so hopeless ... So far, we have only “tucked” for 19 years.

- Why did you wonder?
- Just live and see what is happening. I saw that we have devastation, my grandmother at that time, well, received a penny. I even get my mother in a leading position less than 15 thousand. I got older, but it did not become better despite all the political statements. In the 90s, when in our house of folk art people received a small salary and not always on time, they were active: they bought cameras, made films. Now the opposite is true: even if a person is ready to take on all the risks, he still says “no”. This product of the Putin era is the destruction of initiative in people. But at that time I believed that it was necessary to join some organization, to gain experience there. At 17 years, I wanted to join the RSDSM [Russian Social Democratic Union of Youth], we have a department in Kostroma. I just moved to study in Kostroma, on the story of KSU. The strongest department is St. Petersburg. When I arrived in Kostroma, there was no movement. Then I found on the website of the RSDSM of the Kostroma chairman Maxim Erina, who, the funniest, is now the head of the internal policy department, that is, our opponent.
