Anton Krasovsky as a mirror of Russian opposition

Columen Columnist Ivan Davydov - about what the scandals around the propagandist Krasovsky and journalist Venediktov are similar

Margarita Simonyan removed Anton Krasovsky from RT broadcasts for the call to kill Ukrainian children. The associates of Alexei Navalny included Alexei Venediktov in the list of "corrupt and warfarers of war." Both that and another are widely discussed in media and social networks, but as two completely unrelated events. But the poet and publicist Ivan Davydov saw such a connection and at the request of the “cold” explains what it consists of.

The noise from the story with Krasovsky still has not subsided, although, to be honest, what is the new one of it can be found about Krasovsky? About Russia Today? About Margarita Simonyan? About propaganda in general? Nothing. Unless ...

Quote: “What mass criticism in social networks M. Simonyan“ did not notice ”, it’s just clear: she does not care deeply on citizens and their opinion, it would be better not to live at all - it would be easier to live. And it was not by chance that Krasovsky “worked” precisely under the leadership of M. Simonyan. And there is no certainty that in a company where people like Krasovsky and Simonyan leads, fascism is not a predominant direction of thought. The latter is the most unpleasant. ”

Do you think this is some opposition channel? In vain, you think so, this is REGNUM , founded by Moddest, unshakable ultraputinists and impeccable imperials. True, for some reason I want to say, Aryans. These still hold themselves in their hands, by the way, are still the media. It is not difficult to find the Krasovsky recording, which defamed the renegade, abundantly flavored with jokes about orientation and even about HIV status. Clear shirt with jokes. And even the records that he is not just the heir to Bandera, but their straight accomplice. And fulfilled the order of the SBU. Or CIA. Which, in essence, is one and the same. “The monstrous words of Krasovsky are not random words, but the task of Kiev, in order to show the world about the preparation of Russia's genocide,” the prominent Cubrelev political scientist Sergei Markov tells us, showing at the same time the hatred of his native language inherent in many state patriots.

If you do not look closely, it seems that aggressive supporters of the current Russian politics are united and indivisible. But if you look closely, we see a completely different picture. The intraspecific struggle is tough than interspecific, in stake - access to budgets, influence, power, or rather, the illusion of the opportunity to get this access. Simonyan annoys many not only in opposition. Everything, in general, is like people. Everything is like in the opposition.

Actually, about the opposition and you think that it is all reading. Leonid Volkov (included by the Ministry of Justice in the register of individuals-investments, introduced by Rosfinmonitoring in the list of persons involved in extremist activity or terrorism, put on the wanted list in the CIS, was arrested in absentia) included Alexei Venediktov (introduced by the Ministry of Justice in the register of media-foreign agents) in the list of enemies of good and truth.

If so, with a list of all regalia to write this phrase, then the whole absurdity of the situation becomes clear. Or, conversely, a kind of logic? A more authoritative person is eager to punish a person who has fewer honorary titles. Subordination is observed.

The love of the Russian opposition for squabbles is well known. You can write a thick book about how the fighters with the regime tried to agree and did not agree on anything. The coordination council of the opposition, the democratic coalition - what interesting is we had a political life here more recently ... and how scandalous. All involved in the opposition policy more or less understand that the causes of failures are hidden in these insurmountable squabbles. And they are happy to rush into new squabbles as soon as such an opportunity appears.

It is customary to joke about Grigory Yavlinsky, who has already avoided any proposals for tactical associations for many years, not forgetting to expose the wrong opposition. Recently (that is, after February 24, 2022) I read his new article . By the way, an intelligent analysis of the causes of what happened is a very, by the way, because a man is wise and experienced. But for a number of reasons-also the betrayal of the intelligentsia, which in the elections, succumbing to the persuasion of populists, supported the Communists and other evil spirits, although it was necessary to support the “apple”! We are talking about "smart voting" if you suddenly do not understand. If it is not it - the world would reign on earth now.

And this is really funny, only the jokes about Yavlinsky are joking exactly those people who behave in much the same way as Yavlinsky.

It is strange and uninteresting to explain that the creator of Echo of Moscow has some merits to Russian freedom. This is trite, and that is not the point. I recall how many rushed to expose Marina Ovsyannikov, a brave woman who decided on a serious act. “Career player, adaptive, where has she been eight years old?” Or 20. It doesn’t matter. The careerist broke her life, diluted her career, put on the wanted list.

Now I see how some other (unknown to me) incorrects are exposed there, who have work in the propaganda media in the past. Now we arrived in France, “pretend to be the opposition”, give out interviews ...

February 24 did not divert past merits. It is interesting - even now it is interesting - to argue about whether there was a remote electronic vote in the elections in Moscow in 2021 by a tool for falsification (by the way, I think it was). Do not forget anything. What is done is done, a whiskar with the right people is drunk, and if some is not very terrible “later” will happen, then there will be meaningful reasons to recall past merits to each other.

But still, on February 24, it changed the situation. It is important whether you approve of Putin’s actions or not. Right now. Everyone who is able to adequately assess the situation on the account. It is so obvious that I don’t even understand why to talk about it. Why not get distracted for a while from the usual squabbles? In the story with Krasovsky, it is at least clear that the ultrapatriots who went on the attack on Simonyan are trying to share. And what benefits are we fighting for? For a place in the queue for the distribution of free soup? To divide the skin of an indestructible bear is a stupid occupation. And try to share the skin of a murdering bear ...

In the Gospel of Matthew there is a parable about "employees of the eleventh hour." Jesus himself tells her, and theologians consider her one of the most difficult fragments of the New Testament for interpretation, although the plot there is simple: the owner of the vineyard hires workers. In the morning, day and evening. And he promises everyone to be "laid." And in the end, to the displeasure of those who began to work earlier, rewards everyone the same. Even the employees of the eleventh hour who came the last.

I’m not the theologian-I’ll refrain from interpretations, but I will express a terrible, annoying thought: if suddenly one of the most odious propagandists will translate a minute before the crash of the regime, and not a minute after, it is worth accepting it and living with it that moment. Let him work in the vineyard. And then - to remember about past exploits.

In the years of my youth, there was a popular song, which was performed by a certain Evgeny Kemerovsky - " Brothers, do not shoot each other ."

So this, lads, well, maybe then? Now without you (without us) there are enough people who want to shoot.
