For example, six months ago I wrote a text in Novaya Gazeta, offering those who feel disagreeing with the regime, to compose something similar to the Czechoslovak Charter 77 - a certain document that will not be formally reproduced, but in fact. The task is not to make a list of the fact that “a decent person should not do” (he may arise as a result), but in the structuring of general disagreement with the authorities, the description of the points in which, according to our consolidated opinion, this power is harmful. And in the announcement of our consonant disagreement.
And that was my mistake, which now, following my own appeals, I must admit. The fact that just six months ago I believed that “democratically” or “anti-Putin”, or “liberal” (all these designations lack accuracy), configured people will be able to somehow agree. No, not about any “plan of action”, but simply about a kind of general description of the world around you. Well, like to agree to everyone that we call this “white”, this is “black”, and this is “gray-brown-Malinov”, and from this joint and “voiced” understanding, some community, separation, separation from the actions of the authorities, and at the end, maybe even resistance to them will grow.
But for these six months, even such a slope as me, it became obvious that we could not agree in any weather,
On the contrary, every reason that seems to be “us” to consolidate some “us”, we only disrupt us.
Say, a recent example is the performances of the famous independent journalist Oleg Kashin in one of the most propaganda current shows of Russian television (by the way, in this program Kashin is even called “opposition”). Responding to the television of London, where he lives now, to the question of the TV presenter Olga Skabeeva, who does not need separate performances, “what is the difference in the fact that politically means the person’s landing, if this person is a terrorist and committed terrorist acts,” Kashin did not only say that Sentsov did not commit these acts, or, in any case, they were not proven, but reported that she was enemy, and the enemy himself, and the enemy himself, and the enemy himself was enemy. He, Kashina, is most sad in this situation that our intelligentsia always stands to the side of any Ukrainian nationalist, that is, solidarizes with those to whom any Russian is obviously enemy.
I do not think that it is worth discussing evidence: to say this, or rather, behave like this on the air of the State Media, supporting and decorating his agenda, this-let's formulate a childishly-very bad. Even indecent. But an publicly obvious assessment of this behavior, according to many, seems to be not at all pro -respectable people, is Shaiming, and, most importantly, the “liberal regional committee”, the adjacence to which, as it turns out, is the main thing of the main thing and, in general, fu. That is, to condemn on Facebook participation on the side of the Strenger Beatering is ugly persecution, and to talk about the “intelligentsia that“ assumes the Ukrainian nationalists ”on the federal channel is an expression of a personal point of view.
With the "liberal regional committee", in general, the case is quite strange. Belonging to it has recently causes a much more outrage in the intelligent public than belonging to United Russia.
Moreover, if you still join the United Russia yourself, then those who are dissatisfied with you are “entering” you to the liberal regional committee.
Having expressed the disapproval of Oleg Kashin, for example, I immediately turned out to be a prominent member of this regional committee conducting the Party Combination. The timid attempts by some commentators to say that such a recognition of certain actions is unacceptable is called “public opinion”, drowned in written screams of protest.
But the most interesting thing happened to me "in PM". They wrote a lot of different things about my “Antikashinsky” performance, but some coincided almost literally. In vain, in my statements I take the side of the liberal regional committee, they wrote to me. This is not at all fashionable .
Here it is impossible not to admit that many liberal frontmen did a lot so that the alliance with them would become "non -poor." They often repel categoricality, aplomb, arrogance and even aggression. At the same time, the readiness of the most venerable public to exchange the meaning for the form, to take the side of unprincipled simply because the principality looks grumpy and incredibly expressed, amazing. Even if those personalities with whom, first of all, are associated with the phrase “liberal regional committee” adamant, the essence does not change: to adjoin those who are engaged in washing the brains of compatriots every day and to discuss with them as something normal arrest of Sentsov and condemn the opposition that has crossed over the side of the enemies, it is impossible. This is vile.
In the already forgotten book “Plonol”, which was partially written and completely inspired by Vladislav Surkov, the rectilinear (that is, the most working) opposition views - as unclean, short -lived, “ancient” were blown up exactly. Vladislav Yuryevich has long been not at the helm, but his business lives. We ourselves do it independently and debated it.
So forgive me that six months ago I believed that at least some agreement we could get and distracted you to these nonsense.
I'll go do something useful. I will clean the potatoes or something.
