The day when chimes stop

July 1, 2020 will go down in the history of the Russian state as the date of the beginning of its end

On this day, we will finally abandon the game of modern democracy and sign that the country will follow the path of Satrapy of the Central Asian model.

Russia will abandon the future, because in the interests of one (first) person the time should be stopped.

Russia will refuse development, because the development is fraught with unpredictability. To ensure the first person’s peace and the timelessness of Russia, the free society in it will be frozen and ordered by the crystal lattice of a police state.

Elections in Russia will finally cease to influence anything and turn into a emasculated ritual of manifestation of humility of the supreme power, which they were under the Soviet regime. A lifelong president will be able to ignore the Duma, solving all conflict issues through her head, which means that there will be no sense in either the parliamentary opposition or in parliament in general.

Crouching themselves from any critical voices, neutralizing all agents of changes, stuffing stuffed from oppositionists who have already survived their days as circus animals, the president probably thinks that he will cement Russia in his political youth. In fact, he retrievates the reinforcement in its frame, and the unenlightened design in the spirit of the Gypsy baroque, which we call “Putin Russia”, is now being made too fragile.

From now on, the partial update of the system is impossible, and changes (alas) here can only be achieved by rebellion.

And the changes will be necessary, because Putin can order time to stop only within the limits in which his constitution will be observed. The rest of the world will continue to move forward, and between the tectonic break between the planet, which is frozen in the place of Russia and continuing to rotate the planet, in which, no matter how much you try to pave its corrections, sooner or later it will pull out and our statehood and us.

The new constitution is harmful to Russia, but it does not matter: it is accepted in the interests of a single person and with one single real purpose: to allow this person to never part with the authorities.

The coquetry with whom he had previously answered the question of his intention to continue to “be elected” to the presidential post is forgotten.

The former constitution, which had not particularly constrained anyone before, is fucked up. The bashfulness with which the regime giggled when he was indicated to his old cannibal habits, discarded. The moment of truth has come. When (why right now?) Had to choose between the preservation of the human appearance and eternal power, the choice was made not in favor of the human appearance.

Why is it so difficult for people to be farewell to power? What is she doing with a person? How so, through what strings and gears that upset the human soul, how does it decompose it? Is this rapture the ability to destroy and raise other people causes such an addiction? Endless flattering and lyso -observation from subordinates and subjects? The fear of death and the desire to defeat her, entering yourself into history textbooks (whose publication you entrust your old friends for fidelity)? The fear that your heritage (and the inheritance) will be squandered? In general, fear that the enemies will raise their heads and want to get even?

Getting into power, anyone is faced with this temptation, regardless of the country, from the historical period, from language, from faith and from culture. It is necessary to be a titan to abandon the authorities voluntarily - and therefore in advanced societies everything is arranged so that the power is limited from all sides so that the stay in it is painful and that the temptation to intensify and remain impacts into an irresistible resistance. But the titans rarely sit on the throne, maybe because worldly power seems to them too vulgar.

In the beginning, Vladimir Vladimirovich told us that he was simply “working”. Now he believes that to rule Russia is his fate.

Where will the road of his professional deformation will start and where he will lead us with you, it remains only to guess.

The owner of our castle casts a last look at his reflection, before hearing the last mirror forever and from now on, to remember himself only from the front portraits of his youth, convincing himself and his serfs that he still looks like that.

The chimes stop so that with their rattle not remind the president that even “lifelong” does not mean “eternal”. On the clock - July 1, 2020.
