You see, a very important thing is not to lose touch with reality. Here you are, a person with a radically liberal mindset, it seems that it cannot be that Putin is 70+ percent. It seems to you that this is a fraud, a fake. And this is true.
This is a false, ugly, formed by non -alternative TV, but it is true. Russia - for Putin.
If Russia was massively against Putin, and according to the results of the elections, he would confidently lead, well, in Russia, it would not have happened not only Maidan, but at least Manezhnaya in Moscow, Palace in St. Petersburg, Lenin Square in Novosibirsk ...
But there was nothing. And not because opposition people are afraid. But because they are most of them (if in this case you can generally talk about the “mass”) look at the situation sensibly. Putin won dishonestly, but he won honestly. He really has this percentage. It can be (even most likely) overestimated. But not significant.
Therefore, people are silent.
People in the Russian Federation in 2011 did not silent when they felt that the real percentage of United Russia in the elections is fundamentally less than the one that they wrote to it.
People in Ukraine in 2004 did not be silent when, according to their own feelings, they realized that Yushchenko was stolen by victory.
Another thing is that in the case of the Russian Federation, a protest went into the sand, and in the case of Ukraine it ended with an unscheduled third round, because there are still different countries.
But it was precisely the third tour that existed to the Maidan that the sensations were true. And in the same way it was in Ukraine in 2019. The team of other presidential candidates could scream as much as possible that the surveys were lying! That, according to our data, Julia Vladimirovna was the first or that Pyotr Alekseevich is only 20 percent behind Zelensky, and not at 50. But these polls caused indignation only among the competitors of Zelensky. People - for the most part - felt that they were faithful. And so no one predicted any Maidan. And the results of the elections, which before the comma coincided with polls, the most unbeliever convinced that the surveys do not "always lie at all." That is, when your sensations approximately coincide with the data of surveys, you can hope that the latter do not lie.
Frivolous television votes are essentially no different from fundamental elected. Everything is in the palm of your hand. There was such a TV-sodium-“to the barrier”, where there was no need to harness anything. The program was watched by such an audience for which the conditional Alexander Prokhanov always won the conditional Leonid Goman. Therefore, neither Leonid himself, nor the liberal public sharing his views, threw stones very much into the organizers of the show for the fact that here, slapping voices in favor of ideologically close ones. We play along - yes. You grind - no.
Because they understood that such results are the most objective reality. Formed by biased television. But objective.
And only when a force majeure happened, when, for example, Sergey Udaltsov’s insanely popular at that time was let into this show, and he was the whole broadcast by the sum of the audience calls, but his victories could not be allowed, then the numbers began to twist. And everyone visibly saw that they were twisted. But there were no protests, because these figures did not matter. So, a funny stroke: the authorities are so afraid of Udaltsov that he is already knocking down a television vocabulary.
The audience voting on the Voice pop show was built on the same principles - in the sense that any sensible person saw: the results of voting approximately correspond to how you imagine them. I have a familiar participant in an adult “voice”. She says that the jury could seem biased to her, but one could not agree with the choice of spectators. He was predictable. Clear. And so it went on for years! And on the adult "voice", and in the children's. So far, the rich relatives of one of the contestants have not decided to give their child victory.
But the problem was that this child was not a winner in the eyes of millions. Well, I was not. That is, everyone saw that the victory is dishonest, it was not. As once with Udaltsov ...
Nevertheless, Udaltsov is an adult uncle, and the one -time release of the television program did not do any weather - an incredible scandal arose here. And popular outrage. Because the children were deceived. Not to mention the spectators themselves. And they conducted an investigation. And it showed: yes, the victory is dishonest. And the result was canceled.
What is this talking about? The fact that even an overly patient Russian people are able to adequately evaluate and even defend their mass sensations. So far, according to some sensations, in Yekaterinburg, they rather do not want to fence the next temple. Will conduct polls. Suppose it turns out that they want to fence. And then everyone will solve the sensations again. And not the sensation of radical liberals, which, of course, will immediately say that they were inflated. Namely massive. If the masses-according to the sum of moods expressed in social networks and in communication with a friendly-related environment-will also decide that they were inflated with this survey, they will continue resistance. The word "mass" in this case does not mean that hundreds of thousands will take to the streets. Dozens can come out. But if they represent mass moods, then they will win.
It becomes more complicated in the modern world, be it at least three times totalitarian, to falsify folk decisions. Just because people have more tools to find out about themselves that they actually think and feel.
