Why do we need to thank Ksenia Sobchak

The ex-candidate for the President of Russia and the co-founder of the "Party of Changes" Ksenia Sobchak was combined with a legitimate marriage with the director Konstantin Bogomolov. Although the wedding took place on an extreme scope, this event would hardly have worthy of attention, if not for its political context.

In order to shock the audience of Sobchak and Bogomolov on a hearse and carriage, they were married in the temple by the Nikitsky Gate, where Pushkin once made a marriage with Goncharova, the bride danced outright dances, the color of the Russian public became the color of the Russian public from Philip Kirkorov to Dmitry Peskov. The press secretary of the Patriarch Vladimir Legoyad made a special statement that before the wedding, Sobchak and Bogomolov repented in writing in sacrilege. Deacon Andrei Kuraev suggested that now the temple, desecrated in this way, would have to be demolished. In order for everyone to be convinced of the marriage of Sobchak, the young signed the second time on the air of the "evening urgant". In parallel, rumors appeared that the former host of Dom-2 will become the face of the show “Let them talk” on Channel One.

In a word, the ex-candidate no longer connects his life with the liberal policy in Russia. And this happens just at the moment when the largest rallies passed in Moscow, there is a shaft of political repression, a democrats faction appeared in the Moscow City Duma. A strange time to be disappointed in politics, no matter how you look.

People - and after all, more than a million people voted for Ksenia Anatolyevna in the presidential election - of course, Sobchak instantly remembered her promises.

When Sobchak announced her presidential ambitions at the end of 2017, the reaction was different. Some said that growing up so, and it is very good that we will have such a young promising presidential candidate: liberal views, feminist, supporter of European integration, etc. Others doubted whether the presidential campaign Sobchak would be just part of her personal show. It was immediately said that the candidate would then be a reward for a contribution to the “democratic elections” - perhaps a return to federal television.

The candidate, as befits a participant in the election race, said that her heart was with the people, that she came to politics for a long time and seriously that she intends to protect the political prisoners and fight injustice. Together with Dmitry Gudkov, Sobchak establishes a “batch of changes” ... After nothing happens. The ex-candidate works in show business, Dmitry Gudkov is fighting for the rights of Muscovites before the elections to the Moscow City Duma and sits in a special reception. It is clear that all this ends with a hearse and "let them talk."

In Russia, the thesis is popular that politics is a dirty business, and the cynicism manifested by the ex-Candidate in the presidency confirms this opinion about political processes. In 2018, it was especially difficult to observe the young guys for whom these were the first presidential elections and who believed Sobchak. But now I would not want to join the condemnation, but on the contrary, thank Ksenia for her choice.

The carnival in Russian politics is coming to an end. In previous years, one could indicatively quarrel in public, but then cute to communicate at party parties. For a secular public, the politician at some point has become another way to have fun and acquire valuable acquaintances. The fact that Sobchak returned to show business shows that people will have to fight for the future of the country without the help of glamorous liberals. It seems to be the best.
