Kirill Martynov: "How to return the inhabitants of the Hospice" Russia "to politics?"

"In a conversation with Zoya, a light Federmeser says:" I am not for power and not against the authorities. I am for people who are not up to the authorities who do not care what power. "And I think that there is a deep intuition about modern Russia,” writes the observer and teacher of the Higher School of Economics on Facebook .

“The right to politics is determined here as a privilege available only to those whose life continues. The Federmeser finds itself in such a human horizon where politics does not matter. It is at the same time a pure biological existence outside the civil choice, a zero point of any conversation about politics, and metapolitics, marking of the political territory. To think about power, you need to die and put yourself on the other side of your biological existence.

When you are in a concentration camp, and death serves your warder, you are not interested in who won the election, provided that the winner is not able to free you. It is important to survive and maintain human dignity. This also applies to your relatives, the entire horizon of your existence outside civil communication. Death now relieves power: no one dies as republican heroes in front of the policy of the policy.

It is clear that under people who do not care what power, Federmeser means in mind those who are in the hospices and their family. But the temptation is great to use this metaphor for most of the population of Russia, engaged in everyday survival.

We are not up to power here, we don’t care what power, just to stretch another month. How to return the inhabitants of the Hospice "Russia" to politics? And whether it is necessary to do this if there is no salvation from ourselves. "
