Lilia Shevtsova: "Gut the state"

"They are crazy!" - We worship, looking at the fact that it makes power. "What stupidity!" - Commentators are horrified by compiling the Kremlin "list of shame": pension default; power minister, threatening Navalny's reprisal; the failure of "Salisbury tourists"; Falsification of elections in Primorye; Russian plane shot down by the Syrians with the same rocket; a hole in the spaceship, covered with glue; a threat of a ban on walking the dollar; new lies about the death of the Malaysian Boeing; The next detention of Navalny, ”writes political scientist Lilia Shevtsova on his Facebook page.

"Attempts to correct the Bloopers will only worsen the situation, turning it into a farce. Is it possible to abolish the elections in Vladivostok to return the faith in the elections? Isn't the farce elections in the Vladimir region and the Khabarovsk Territory, when the winners did everything so as not to win?

And what can I call an interview with "Salisbury"? And what do attempts look like for the death of the Russian aircraft for Israel, and for the hole in the Ship of Soyuz on the Americans?

Finally, the last shot at their own limb: the provision of the S-300 missile system to the Syrian, which means the challenge of Israel and, of course, to America (the Israelis will certainly answer it).

If all these "achievements" are considered as stupidity, there is a hope that it can be corrected by cleaning the personnel. What is the Kremlin today and did. In fact, what we consider to be in failure and stupidity has long become the norm!

We see the result of a monopoly on power, turning its reproduction into an end in itself, and negative selection of the elite on the principle of loyalty. In short, the duelist as the head of the power department and "tourists" - poisoners - this is the Russian normality. This is logic and inevitability!

Therefore, the moaning about the crisis of power is unfounded. Russia has slipped through the stage of the crisis. A crisis is a natural course of development that forces society to look for new solutions and those who will implement them. If this does not happen, society, along with its superstructures, begins to rot. In this fetid consistency we are today. Rowing prevents the collapse: that which rot cannot collapse. But at the same time, decay does not allow the country to find strength for change.

The ruling class, it seems, can calm down, because the system wrapping it out of all kind. There are no mass protests. And those that happen can be ignored or mixed. Fortunately, special equipment has been prepared for this -“Shield”, “Storm”, “Wall” and the like.

Meanwhile, the matter takes a serious turnover for Russia. Power, trying to ensure its infinity, destroys the state. This is a different alignment. We reached a point when the ruling class sways supports of statehood, destroying the guarantees of its survival.

Giving violence to outsourcing to volunteers, the authorities deprives the state of its most important feature - a monopoly on violence. Having made Russia a global scarecrow, the authorities undermine the international status of the state and the external environment of its existence. Refusing strategic goal -setting in favor of tactical maneuvers, the government deprives the state of the ability to progress. Making the state with the instrument of clan domination, the authorities swing stability - after all, society is forced to protect its interests "through the street."

Finally, destroying the institutions and making the rules of the game relative (it is possible, but it is possible that one), the authorities plunge the country into a state of lawlessness. When lawlessness begins, no one can have salvation from him. Do these guys in the Kremlin do not understand how it will end? Apparently, they understand. But they can no longer stop.

In 1991, the autocracy survived by throwing a Soviet state into the scrap. Today, the autocracy is trying to survive, turning a post-Soviet state into a plywood under a song about sovereign. "
