Dmitry Gudkov: "The collective Putin does not seriously see the opportunity for negotiations"

"Medvedev’s programmatic statements about Navalny show that the Kremlin lives in his invented world. It is arranged something like this: in the center of the world, on the island, the Kremlin’s towers rise, they are surrounded by a sea of ​​oil, and enemies live on the island of Navalny, foreign agents and other bad people," the politician writes on his Facebook page.

“The people, there are no Russians in this world, therefore there is no one to talk to. The collective Putin does not really see the opportunity for negotiations. Not only because he doesn’t want to, but also because it is nobody to speak with enemies? They can be killed - what else to do with them? Therefore, there is no place for discussions, the opposition to the elections cannot be launched, the courts were turned into a guillotine. All because Putin was not joking when Putin was not joking when He complained that he had no one to talk to, because Mahatma Gandhi died.

It’s too late to understand how the Kremlin reached such a clinical picture of the world. It is important to understand what to do with it. So far, one option is traced, about which all the keyboards have already shut up: first twisting the nuts - then the departure of the lid. And rallies only confirm this: the authorities will not go to any concessions, instead it will plant everyone who could change the system over time. Because there is no worse song of "changes" of music.

I am somewhat naively repeat the idea of ​​the elections of the 21st (and further-24th) year. Experience shows that it is at the time of the election that the window of opportunities for changes opens. I think that now the window will be the last. Or there is at least some power that can compete with the authorities in the legal field (through the Duma is the most natural evolutionary method), or nuts and a lid, in other words, radicalization on both sides, which will sooner or later lead to mutual destruction and decay of the country.

It would be possible to delve into conspiracy: how a civilian up fights with a fsb hawk, how the first would like to limit the use of force, but the latter do not give - but, on the other hand, what is the difference, why is this happening? Everything rests on that very clinical picture of the world. And this can be a fatal mistake of the system. "
