If we do not say nothing, there is still hope

The political results of the prison term for Alexei Navalny

Those who think that the current rallies are most of all are most mistaken - the continuation of the old protest policy, when we proudly and cheerfully walked around the swamp or shouted "We are power here!" In the summer of 2019, and then everything ended and continued ordinary life.

This time, despite the fact that events take place on the same streets of our cities, bets are noticeably higher. Most likely, the end of the protests will indicate the “public agreement of the new type”, which will impose power to us. Within the framework of this agreement, a worthy human life, where you are not afraid to say what you think and do not expect that in the morning they will break the door to the apartment, will be available only to relatives of the highest authorities.

Why did it happen? First you need to answer the question: why couldn't they plant Navalny before, but now they put it?

And it seems not difficult to answer: it was just before the Kremlin believed that the prison for Navalny would not help in the struggle for personal and eternal power, and now they decided that it would be very useful. And even an attempt to poison, as is clear from last year, was considered an excellent plan.

What has changed in recent years? It is also easy to find a believable hypothesis: the people fell out of love with the Russian power. The entire political system of modern Russia was built on specific folk love, and at some point in Moscow airports it was full of people who wanted to buy symbolism with a portrait of President Putin. They no longer buy, souvenir shops switched to trading in other goods.

It was precisely the fire of the popular adoration that all the Kremlin’s PR campaigns from the “direct line on which miracles happen” to the long-term functioning of the government of the unpopular prime minister Medvedev, against which it is so easy to look like a hero, was directed. All this remained in the past.

The normal life in Russia ended by 2014-2015, when a shameful conflict was unleashed against the largest Slavic neighbor.

Violence inevitably returns from the fronts to the rear, this phenomenon is well described by historians. The trigger in 2015 could already be the murder of Nemtsov, but then there was no special need for mass violence, because the authorities were still loved. Now, only batons remained between her and the people. At some point, during the collapse of a populist autocracy, a group of security forces occurred in the country.

There are no special insidies, just look around. Everything, from the emergence of “political instructions” in schools to a paralyzed judicial system and cities blocked by the police, indicates the corporate identity style of the post -Soviet intelligence services. Solving a political problem in their presentation means to intimidate or plant an opponent.

The ideological justification of what is happening, the picture of the world, which is now dictated by the “image of the future”, are due to the fact that “political leaders” are poured with their own propaganda. They are no longer loved, the “end of the beautiful era” of the endless extraction of rent from the country and everything that is still alive is indicated. And they believed that it happened because of foreign enemies and spies. The authorities are always flawless and forever, simply impossible, being in their minds, not to love this. But there are those who are harming, and for some reason there are more and more of them.

A decisive step was taken to Pinochet Russia, in which “internal enemies” are taken to the stadiums, because there are nowhere to keep them anymore. So far, instead of stadiums, regular buses have been used, in which people stand half a day at the gate of prisons. And in the coming year, everything is planned to destroy everything - media, education, legal participation in politics and any worthy of your life.

The key mistake of those who did not see the scale of bets is that they decided that if you do not attract attention and keep silent, then these dashing times can be experienced, somehow adapt. This is a miserable illusion, it's time to say goodbye to her.

The whole truth is now - with a handful of students who go out on the square of cities, to demonstrate their bodies, unarmed and feeble, in colored funny down jackets that they are not ready to accept the Kremlin plans for the future. If you are not next to them, then try to find the courage not to keep silent in yourself.

Faced with an unlawful court, denunciation of work, state violence, do not be silent.

It seems that our hope that individuals and entire professions, as it was during the “Moscow business” in 2019, will now begin to speak. Over the past decades, people's tolerance has decreased sharply, and few are ready to calmly look at how a policeman kicks a woman in their stomach.

The ideologists, who decided specifically and clearly rule Russia, were not informed, but it is unbearable to exist quietly with rapists in one state in 2021 in 2021 as silently to observe beatings in their own house.

Journalists will not be silent about the arrest of Sergei Smirnov for his work by the chief of the Mediazons. Doctors collect volunteer groups to help beaten at rallies. Law students go to court to defend the detainees, because there are not enough lawyers.

If we do not say nothing, we still have hope.
