Ilya Yashin: “Putin. Results. 2018 "
The report is completely ready, reversed, printed and ... seized by the police
Vladimir Milov and I wrote a new report: “Putin. Results. 2018 ". It is easy to guess that this is a continuation of the tradition, inherent in Boris Nemtsov.
Our report is dedicated to the results of Putin’s activity as the head of state. We are talking about economic, social and geopolitical results. An analysis of what Russia has come to over these 18 years.
In the middle of the week we planned the presentation. The report is completely ready, renegade and printed. It remained only to pick up the circulation. Today, in the underground parking of one of the large shopping centers, we had to pick up packs with reports. But this did not happen: at the time of the transfer, operatives, led by police captain Sergei Baranov, appeared. The circulation is removed.
It is clear that the actions of the police are illegal: no one in Russia is prohibited from opposing the president and publishing reports with criticism of him. However, in practice, the police performs the function of a political investigation and arrests any circulation where Putin is not praised.
We did not attract attention to our work in order to avoid such a development of events. But still somewhere “flowed”. An annoying nuisance, of course, but it's okay: let's move on to the plan of B. The report on the week we still present.
