Leonid Gozman: "Logic of madness"

"Curses to the punishers and those who gave them orders, indignation of the authorized lawlessness, ridicule of the authorities - all this is justified, but not enough. The enemy or, if you want, the enemy is extremely dangerous to underestimate. We must try to see the situation with his eyes, understanding the seemingly meaningless actions. After all, if you shoot the moving target, then the necessary conditions for falling into the target will be understanding The paths of her movement, ”writes a politician on Facebook .

“The ruling group seems to lose in all directions. It was not possible to intimidate the protesters, the elections in Moscow will obviously illegitimately, to hold their proteges will become heavier, the miserable bleating of the regular defenders of the system discredits the authorities even more. And nevertheless, Putin and his people stubbornly continue the doomed, seemingly strategy. Why?

A popular explanation is stupid. I do not want to protect them, but not all idiots are there - to reduce everything to their stupidity, it means to reassure yourself.

I believe that they see problems with the elections in which people are increasingly voting not for someone, but against them, and with propaganda, which, despite the multimillion-dollar infusion, loses the media, made, literally, on a knee, and with a general situation in the country. Even the level of legality and individual freedoms that they had recently been ready to observe become an insurmountable barrier for them in their attempts to maintain power.

This means that it is necessary to cancel the elections, to limit freedom - individual and the media, simplify legal proceedings, abandoning all sorts of Western nonsense. All this can be done by introducing, not just like that, of course, but in connection with the threat of security and sovereignty of the country, a state of emergency.

Today's situation may well be used for this. It is unlikely that there were no mass unrest in the capital, but there was acceleration of civilians organized by foreigners (the authorities have already openly says that the protests are the result of foreign intervention), supported by the paid fifth column are an attempt to put Russia on their knees, to prevent its triumphant breakthrough (where?), Capture its natural resources. Well, and so on. Actually, all this is already mentioned on TV.

But, if they decided to save themselves by the introduction of a state of emergency, then to explain this step, the country needs that the protests continue and grow, they need blood.

Well, we need to continue to do, which should, understanding, at the same time, which can wait for all of us ahead. It’s impossible for us to retreat for us that they are not planning there. ”
