“I am crazy Khabarovsk I sing a song,” or “such rallies are not needed”? Politicians, musicians, comedians - about protests in the Far East
In the Khabarovsk Territory, the fourth day continues mass protests against the detention of the governor of the region Sergey Furgal. What do famous musicians, writers, comedians and officials think about this? We have collected the most noticeable reactions.
Mayor Khabarovsk Sergey Kravchuk :
Such rallies are not needed in the city. They are illegal and adversely affect the health of all those who take part in them. Indeed, according to statistics, one carrier of coronavirus infects six-seven in the crowd. Therefore, all this is called "if only I, but the rest do not excite." Meanwhile, there are legal methods through which you can express your protests and convey your wishes to the authorities. And what is happening now is unreasonable and destructive, primarily for your health
Musician Sergey Shnurov :
People came out marching to nature,
In fairness they want and cry.
It seemed to our people
What in vain threw on Kich
Governor with the name Furgal
He seemed to scold Osrosov.
On politics - on the right flank,
According to concepts, so it does not bz.
No, he is far from an angel at all,
A businessman, as a result, a bandit.
Smoked through the churches of Kadil
And the cops turned around like an eating.
If the authorities planted someone,
Apparently, a man was a good man.
Musical critic Artemy Troitsky:
The transitional title of the cradle of the revolution is awarded to the city of Khabarovsk. The city of Petersburg crosses the title of cradle of gopniks and whores (KGB). Sorry, St. Petersburg friends, but you won’t throw out a natives from the cradle.
It's a shame for Yakutsk - the shaman did not support how the Khabarovsk residents of their Guber ...- Artemy Troitsky (@aktroitsky) July 11, 2020
TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak :
People will not vote for United Russia in the Duma. They will not. There are no 40% about which you are now compromising in the Kremlin - there will be no. If even a muddy van from the LDPR is already a symbol of protest, then it will only be worse. When the authorities are already accepted by the fact that the “Excava-Governor-Governor at the direction” does not work anymore. It gives more and more failures, and this is not just that. It is impossible to keep the system. It is necessary to change it. To allow the real opposition, to make a total rebranding “Osra”, to allow a large right -hand part, and not try to stew the fires pointwise. Soon it will not be extinguished.
Comedian Garik Oganisyan :
I really like the movement in Khabarovsk, but it looks as if we are all sitting in our cells and here we will find out that ours still managed to escape from the distant camera, look from the window how he runs, support, but we understand that they will most likely catch him, punish and lead back. And as if we just need to run out of all, so at a time so that those who hold us all in this, neither strength nor resources are not enough to catch all at once. But at the same time I am tormented by the question: if, God gives, we will break out, where to run then? Who to run for? And who are we? And is it "we"? Going to bed in my cell, I am the madness of the Khabarovsk people. I sing a song.
