The liberation of Ilya Yashin, Vladimir Kara-Murza and other Russian political prisoners, which, seemed, could be an occasion only for joy, gave rise to unexpected consequences. Namely: Ukrainian national activists began the Jashin and Kara-Murza cancellation campaign. Their main complaint was that Yashin and Kara-Murza called for the West not to confuse Russia and Putin-instead of calling for the dismemberment of Russia, support the RDK, and utter the Armed Forces and so on.
The campaign is clearly coordinated and is carried out on two fronts. Poroshenkovsky nets disperse two messages : “Putin sent his agents to the West” and “This Yashin is no different from the quilted jacket.”
On the contrary, pro -government nets give sinners the time to improve. Their message:
“These naive people were in prison and were torn off from life. We will give them a trial period of a month or two and recommend hiring a PR man so that they understand what they should say. ”
Alas, the train left. Those who were not afraid of the "beginner" from Putin will not comply with orders of the political leaders of Ukraine. Those who did not pass in front of the FSB will not pass before the BLM type.
There are two ways to treat the allies: “Whoever is not against us is with us (Mark 9:38) and“ Who is not with us, he is against us ”(Matthew 12:30) Ukrainian national activists invented the third:“ Who is with us, we will be harassy, and drive in a corner, and pile up until he spits us on. ”
This is the strategy of an old woman and a goldfish. It makes no sense to please those who reply to every step of support: "Little."
All this has already been. There was President Zelensky when, after many thousands of rallies against the war, to which Alexei Navalny called on, Washington Post said that all Russians should be sent to Russia. Will he need to send Yashin and Kara-Murza back now? How is it? " Let them live in their own world until they change philosophy ."

They also tried to cancel the Oscar, after Oscar received a film about Navalny. They also abolished Julia Navalny after the murder of her husband, when the bottle-steps and national activists immediately began to disperse: “How dared to say something else after the death of her husband, except for the support of RDK and the transfer of weapons to Ukraine”?
So, the first: National activists do not represent the whole of Ukraine, as the Zetniks do not represent all of Russia. They claim that they represent the majority, but in fact they plug their mouths or prescribe what to think. The second is the time when the Russian opposition was tormented by shame before the Ukrainian national activists passed.
Yashin and Kara-Murza are the most legitimate representatives of the Russian opposition today. What made them legitimate? Jail. They fought with Putin when Zelensky still performed on Putin's television.
And Yashin, and Kara-Murza, and Oleg Orlov are heroes. They did not get fame on Facebook. And from prison they know more just further than from Facebook.
No Russian politician will turn to his own people with the words: "You are all genetic slaves." Not a single Russian politician will turn to his own people with the words: "Give the dismemberment of Rashka."
And one more funny thing cannot be noted. From Julia Navalny, after the murder of her husband, first of all, the support of the RDK was demanded.
Now another topic accelerates: from Yashin and Kara-Murza, first of all, they demand “no” to peaceful negotiations. They must demand to fight to the last Ukrainian.
The fact is that at the very moment when the support of the RDK was required from Julia Navalny, the President of Zelensky just used RDK raids to the territory of the Belgorod region for escalation, and the West did not express any enthusiasm for these raids. Therefore, the idea was simple: to force Julia Navalny to support the RDK, and then present this support to the West with the words "well, you see, even the Russian opposition supports them." Now the West is pressing on Zelensky precisely on the issue of peace, and the agenda has changed.
The idea, of course, is grandiose. Yashin was not afraid of Putin - now the crowds on Twitter were scared.
Note of the editorial office
On the evening of August 4, Ilya Yashin clarified his anti-war position during the air on his YouTube channel: “If now Putin is allowed to devour Ukraine, it will go further. Without illusions! This is what I said to the representative of the German government. “Let's give Ukraine to Putin or part of it, and he will be satisfied with this, gets enough and after that will stop” - this will not.And already this was held in world history, there was a Munich conspiracy when it seemed: “Let us give to Hitler what he wants, and this will end there.” It will not end. Such conspiracies end with the fact that the tyrant goes on, becomes more impudent and aggressive. Dictators, tyrants and aggressors always perceive such softness and compromise as weakness: pass Ukraine to Putin - get it yourself. Putin will certainly come to the Baltic countries after that, Poland. They are already threatening with this. ”
