In Washington, we will meet again
There are events that there seems to be no need to comment - and so everything is clear. You can’t say anything new, but only only banalities. It is too obvious who is right, who is not, and in the categories of good and evil to evaluate what is happening is not difficult. The human memory is opposed to the killers and those who cover them and mocks them over the dead - well, what is there to discuss?
Nevertheless, at least fix such events must and even necessary. It is rare that the rightness of some and the disgrace of others are shown so clearly. The case, one might say, is exemplary.
Yes, but still it is worth talking about politics, thinking about yesterday's news. This, in the end, is inevitable, since it is a very conflict and no secret, as they relate to the fact that the area in front of the Russian Embassy in Washington will be named Boris Nemtsov. It is enough to mention Maria Zakharova, who had already accused the American authorities of manipulations and “hellish cynicism” last spring, and these were very important words.
It is known that morality in politics is often used for accounts of accounts, and if Sakharov Plaza appears in the same Washington near the same (then Soviet) embassy, this means that the USSR and the USA are fighting among themselves on the fronts of the Cold War. As now, when similar political realities are reflected in the decision of the city council of the American capital.
Crimea and Donbass are reflected. Russian hackers and various kinds of "nieces" on the outskirts of Donald Trump shortly before the elections in the United States. And most of all - the murder of Boris Nemtsov in the very center of the Russian capital and how the authorities in the Kremlin and the friends of the deceased reacted to this crime. The authorities refused and refuse to perpetuate the memory of Nemtsov in Moscow, mobilizing all the evil spirits, which either desecrates the memorial at the place of murder, otherwise it leads the plate installed on the house where he lived. Friends, among whom should be allocated by Vladimir Kara-Murza Jr., do everything possible to remember the executed in the Kremlin.
And the best place for this than the square to the Russian Embassy in America is not to be found today. As a result, morality unexpectedly rises above politics and all the protesting speeches of Russian official representatives turn into one continuous shamelessness. Commenting here, I repeat, nothing, everything is simple and transparent.
Our authorities could only successfully discuss with enemies, as they say, with low blood and in foreign territory - in the territory of humanism. Do not torment the disgraced academician and release him from exile. Finally investigate the murder of Boris Nemtsov, caught and condemning the organizers and customer of the crime. Having ahead of the Americans, to name at least the bridge where the former first deputy prime minister was killed, the name of Boris Efimovich. Call to the order of scum destroying the memorial. Then the arguments in the polemic with Washington will appear, and hellish cynicism in these meaningless disputes will become smaller. In general, hell will decrease in the comments.
The problem, however, is that it is dangerous to catch, judge and say those who ordered and organized the murder: as if not to catch themselves or such a customer who will turn all over Russia, convincingly proving their innocence. To rename the bridge, to allow a sign, to punish the hooligans - it is also more expensive for themselves. As for Sakharov, the memories of how he was released and how the matter ended is too traumatic. The academician was released, and the indestructible union broke up in the case. So it’s better not to let anyone go, not rename anything and not investigate. But to deal with the damned West with the mouths of Zakharova and those diplomats who, in spite of everything, are eager to serve Russia in America. Their psyche is hardened, and the view from the window to Nemtsov Square will not spoil them.
Too woeful experience has been accumulated since for the first time in many decades we began to realize that they were not right in everything and, albeit with difficulty, but distinguish good from evil. At the same time, discovering that the dissidents were in vain, and fought in other people's deserts in vain, and, tearing, in vain packed the latest oilollars during the arms race. If we were not interested in reforms, then the largest geopolitical catastrophe could have been avoided. Experience tells the Kremlin authorities that it is necessary to plant, fight, and be at enmity with the West. And then Russia will break up.
Therefore, in Washington there will be a square named after Boris Nemtsov, and in Moscow nothing will be called in his name yet. Under this power, he will be forgotten diligently, viciously, stubbornly, except perhaps on the anniversary of the murder, allowing marches in memory of him. Or not allowing, if it seems that too many people will come, and even with photographs that will capture the area in the capital of America and a sign with its name on the fence that is enclosing the Russian Embassy in the United States. It will also be difficult to comment on the sad news, due to their hopeless monotony, but there is nowhere to go and we need to respond. The banality of evil does not cancel the need to fight him. Equally and a grateful memory of a man who was killed almost three years ago, and firm confidence that his killers should comprehend retaliation.
