The politician Alexei Navalny, on the eve of the “voters' strikes”, launched an active educational campaign on Sunday: he called the best places in Moscow and St. Petersburg in the genre of guide, which should be visited by those who wish: these are Tver Street and Square of the Proletarian dictatorship.
Navalny's associates submitted applications for rallies in the largest cities of the country, but the authorities did not agree on them. “In the whole country, there are 80% of cases of coordination in the country, but in the two largest cities the tactics of mockery and mockery have been chosen. Either create an organizing committee controlled by us, or avoid corruption and fake elections. Then we will allow you to go out into the street,” Navalny was indignant. He began to call to the boycott of the elections and strike after he was not registered with a presidential candidate due to a criminal record.
“To stay (January 28) at home is to give them a signal“ I am ready to tolerate another six years, ”Navalny points out.“ They don’t need to give such signals to them. Reverse signals from society are needed. ”
In the last week, counteraction to employees of Navalny’s headquarters intensified , but he called for participation in the strike contrary to intimidation .
According to the organizers, mass shares on Sunday should be held in dozens of Russian cities. Navalny calls an exit to the rally "in 99% of cases - the safest, most effective and simplest way of political struggle." "Participate. Nothing will work out without you. Do not wait for anything and participate right on this Sunday. No matter how intimidated us, no mass repressions against participants in the events are impossible," the oppositionist wrote on his blog.
