Hold, liberal, grenade!

The metaphorical image of the nodel from the Sobchak as a light -school grenade that the Kremlin threw to the opposition is so accurate that there is practically nothing to add. You can talk about something else: what's next? If a grenade really threw a grenade in you, then, in my opinion, the most non -constructive reaction to it is an insult to a grenade. The enemy should come up with what to annoy you, and you - how to dodge or recapture, for example, a grenade back with a tennis racket.

“The elections have finally turned into a farce,” nevertheless they say offended comrades, which is why it is just right to shrug: and before they were?

How did you previously calmly relate to the nomination of Zhirinovsky’s guard, Zhirinovsky himself, an unbending, like a log, by a communist-starman Zyuganov or even to Grigory Yavlinsky, who does everything so that, God forbid, does not turn out to be a worthy opponent of the collective “office”? How did it happen that you do not suffer from insomnia, having survived the famous screaming, and tolerate the permanent guide for seventeen years with constitutionally permitted two terms, but you can’t transfer “magnificent Ksenia” at the same time?

In my opinion, before being offended, you should figure it out. In yourself and in the situation.

Obviously, after all, that the “office” is not going to surrender power under any circumstances - neither as a result of the elections, nor as a result of undergrowth. If even all the voices are cast for the same from where the charismatic alternative democratic candidate came from where it was ambiguous yesterday and at the last moment, at the last moment they will magically disappear or explode and declare martial law due to the intensification of the sleeping ISIS or CIA cells. Which, however, does not mean that inside the “office” everyone feels so comfortable and is not afraid of tomorrow.

It is probably not easy there. Although the proximity to the throne still brings very tangible dividends, selfishness has never been an exceptional motive for humanity, if we take it in general. You will be surprised, but among them, perhaps there are a little patriots (in the good sense of the word), and they think about their face in the mirror, and how to get out in white costumes from that moral jamming, in which they were guilty of the adored leader, and their children dream of probably a completely different life. There are no heroes there, but the life trajectory from the rulers of the Duma into the walking stuffed garden pushes many of them to sometimes exotic acts like the manufacture of a thriller in a swamp. Which, in particular, explains why Navalny has not yet been killed, not seriously planted, but grew into a very tangible political figure - they are fighting with him, but they cannot win.

Naturally, Navalny initially no one was going to allow normal competition with the authorities, but the immanent contradictions within the system allowed him to win the time, to make political capital and cast doubt on all the legitimacy of the pseudo -election process, especially since the ECHR has just issued a verdict about the political inspiration of its persecution. And then - as a response to a threat - and the brilliant idea came to mind to throw a “grenade of Sobchak” into it. Thank God that not a real grenade (and they could!), Which indicates a certain humanization of the political system and concern for reputation.

What is the calculation. To the fact that everyone will recruit immediately. Which is predictable and happened. The plan also included the fact that it was compactly collecting the entire anti -Putin party, previously drill around Navalny, to sense it and vulgarize, thanks to the pronunciation of the liberal mantras with the lips of a well -fed secular lioness with a huge neckline.

A. Kynev: “Even the analysis of the“ headquarters ”says that it is built in such a way as to lock the opposition demelector in all possible ghetto and create all the conditions to wet and do not ground the first command.” G. Satarov: “The appearance of Ksenia Sobchak as a candidate“ against all ”has already solved one Kremlin problem: the majority completely forgot about the campaign that Alexei Navalny led.”

Moreover, the bets and the project plank were raised immediately so high that not to support Ksenia - well -known courage is also required.

After all, Ksenia was allowed to even say that Crimea ... not ours. Brilliant! Since you did not follow Xenia after that, it means that you agreed that our Crimea. (The attitude to the accession of Crimea, oddly enough, remains, and it will remain for a long time, a marker of belonging to one of the two world parties-liberal-democratic or oligarch-imperialist.) And if you went for xenia-it means that you agreed with the legitimacy of the elections on which you were fucked up, divided into fluff, gluing the Birka “Sobchakinsky Electric” from "Home-2".

And Putin, thus, in business. And he has a liberal opponent - non -hazardous, and even some Saspens around, that is, victory is not easy, with great works. The legend is discussed, according to which the family de (“Mafia Yeltsin”) is trying through Sobchak to reconsider the famous contract about mutual guarantees, and this is almost the threat of a revenge of the 90s, which will be overcome with honor. At the same time, the boycott of the name of Navalny fails, without starting. But adherents of democracy for growth, which go to the polls, also lose, so that only the population does not have a habit of democracy (akin to swimming lessons in an empty pool), because, in this case, an unbearable farce will occur in which they will not be able to participate. Such an explosion of a neutron bomb it turns out: all material values ​​remain in the same place where they were before, but not a single democrat around - everything was flying.

The plan is good, but no plan in Russia is never fulfilled as conceived.

The new problem arises due to the fact that the Pro-Putinsky electorate is too seriously perceives the danger of anti-Putin dissident and, radiating genuine hatred of Xenia, is able to recruit the additional number of its supporters under the banners of Sobchak on the principle of "if Yevtushenko is against collective farms, then I am for". " The army arises (Belkovsky with Malashenko, after all, was not in vain joined), which can already move on its own. In addition, the Putinists are unbearable that for the sake of dubious tactical short stories, Putin's cynical PR headers play with Krymnash, which again makes you see a serious opponent in Ksenia, and we think: yes, the Cyrian sages initially wanted this?

The main complaint to Sobchak from this side-it desacrates the elections even more than the Boycot named after Navalny (see O. Tukhanin’s article “Unreasonable Destruction”), or seduces the youth in faith in success and in a liberal political career, while in Russia such a career should be authorized by the exceptional sultan (see B. Meshuyev’s article “My Pedagogical The choice ”, that is, the choice in favor of the Forever Sultan and is not in favor of liberalism).

On the contrary, criticizing Sobchak from serious liberalism (an unbearably glamorous neckline) overlook such a detail: but still, Sobchak is 100% better than Putin and the main danger to Putin is that people will also believe this and this.

Indeed, she is a dummy candidate or not a dummy, glamorous or not glamorous, stupid or not stupid, with a neckline or without, but everyone understands that such a person as Ksenia will never, for example, will sign the “Law of the Serclangers”, will not utter the Munich speech and will not begin the war with America. What else is needed to stop all this nonsense?

No, in this place, of course, you need to breathe deeply and make an amendment that they take it into the process not so that it wins, and not so that a powerful liberal army suddenly gathered around it, with which you also have to do something later. However, the gap is already that it was possible to voice many of these things, and the reinforced concrete majority saw how vulnerable.

Therefore, I do not propose today to dwell on one specific strategy-troll Ksenia, go to the polls for training or arrange a boycott. Do not sink to boorish epithets (liberal rudeness is also the victory of the Kremlin). And look at the opportunities that the case provides. Everything can change very much as the plot develops. See, for example, what will happen if you combine Ksenia and Navalny (as a hypothetical prime minister). Putin will become president in March. But any massiveness that occurs on the basis of the political alternative of today's “office” is already a big victory. And here it makes no difference - whether the boycott will turn out or the Ksenia will turn out. Anyone is better if it turns out.
