The passage of time immediately hits you, even at the Moscow station. I announce the usual “two hundred” for a trip to Liteiny - and the taxi drivers, instead of rejoicing at this word, as they rejoiced a year and a half ago, silently turn away their heads. "Five hundred". Wow! I stand and, like a sheep at the new gate, look at the banner the size of a football field at the end of the Oktyabrskaya Hotel. So, you say, Putin’s plan is a victory for Russia?

All eight years of Putin's rule of the authorities, often quite disgusting, were at least available to rational analysis. And when Putin, after the arrest of Khodorkovsky, yelled “to stop hysteria!”, And when the obvious nonsense about the fact that the Beslan killers were ruled by those who are afraid of nuclear Russia, it was clear why this was done. The main theme of the outgoing week was the obvious madness, covering the entire power vertical from top to bottom.

On November 24, Saturday, from 13.00 to 15.00, the electoral association of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is holding the second stage of the “Reds in the City” campaign in Moscow. On November 24, the “Reds in the City” action will be led by Chairman of the Communist Party Central Committee Gennady Zyuganov and First Deputy Chairman of the Communist Party Central Committee, leader of the Moscow Communist Party list in the State Duma elections Ivan Melnikov.

The headquarters of the United Civil Front is being searched. At the end of the working day, “people in civilian clothes” came to the office of the UCF and demanded to provide them with documents. Later it turned out that these were employees of the RUBOP; in total there were 6-7 law enforcement officers in the room, the rest were standing on the street in front of the building.

No, this is not all on purpose. It's random. Just a coincidence, there are no evil plans here. It’s just connected with Gennady Andreevich’s schedule. An action is planned for distributing materials, where party leaders will serve as distributors. Including Gennady Andreevich - he will wear an apron and hand out leaflets. Yuri Petrakov - head of the information and analytical department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation

Friends! I wanted to be with you today, in your ranks. However, on the anniversary of the tragic death of Alexander Litvinenko, I should be here in London with his family and friends. The vile murder of our friend by the Kremlin criminal group should not be forgotten, and his voice should be heard even after his death. Let it sound at your march too. Let the murderers know - they will not be able to intimidate us with poisons, prisons, or psychiatric hospitals.

Putin's nerves surrender and hysteria began. I fell in an aggressive rather form on the 90s. Apparently - for yourself. He worked as a vice mayor with Sobchak, then the deputy manager of the President’s affairs at Borodin, then the head of the control department, then the head of the FSB, and then the Prime Minister-and all this in the 90s. I can’t answer for all the 90s-until 1997 I worked as a governor in Nizhny Novgorod.

A significant event occurred in our family. On November 21, 2007, thanks to the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, my children acquired a new status. They are now called “children of the enemy of the people.” True, my son has not yet been expelled from school, and my daughter has not been kicked out of work, but this seems to be a matter of time.

Understanding the rational meaning of Putin’s speech turned out to be quite difficult. Nevertheless, I still don’t have any other means of orientation in the surrounding reality - besides rationality. So, while the attempt is not torture, let's hurry. I'll start with the form. I always note with a feeling of deep satisfaction all the good things that happen in power.
