It is quite obvious that after the New Year the question of the results of the parliamentary elections will lose its political relevance, as well as the requirement of repeated elections. The new Duma began work, the places were distributed, the committees were formed, and they included representatives of not only United Russia, but also all other parties, despite the discontent of some members of these parties.

The tradition of walking on Saturdays on metropolitan squares and avenues and for several hours to freeze with friends there, chant “Putin - thief!”, And then with the same guys to drink and discuss what I heard, what I would like to see and hear - found my continuation and this Saturday. This time all the speakers were perfectly audible - and even obvious, not everyone. Someone (almost all) spoke for a long time, someone briefly.

The reason why the screen did not work at the rally on December 24 was found out: a damaged contact. The reason could be considered technical, if not for one detail: the contact was damaged in six places. That’s the whole level of controversy, actually... The level is already quite traditional, because starting from the pre-election “carousel” hassle, nothing at all has been observed from the Kremlin side except criminality.

In the opposition Trinity gates of paradise. Gate First: Triumph march December 26, 2011 Vladimir Nadein The Putin regime collapses with such swiftness that many simple -minded defenders of the updated, honest Russia arouses a sense of legal pride and deep satisfaction. False feeling. Or, in any case, premature. The exhaustion of a model of a socio-political device, which Putin’s clicked to Russia ten years ago, has long been questioned in a circle of qualified specialists.

There is such a rule in football - the World or Europe champion has a privilege to participate in the next championship without qualifying games. Imagine that plus to this he gets the right to choose his opponents, well, say, to the semifinals. Such a champion, obviously, without much effort will become actually irremovable. And from this, so to say, sports competition of people will simply be sick. Fortunately, nothing threatens competition in football.

In the opposition Downstairs and upstairs December 26, 2011 Viktor Shenderovich The morning began with a letter from a middle-aged friend-poet who spent a Saturday day on Sakharov Avenue. In this letter there are many tough observations of the protruding, according to personalities, and the main result is: “Those who are below were much nicer for those who are from above. There was no intonation of confident fun, a winning smart fun. ” Victive smart fun! Very accurate success formula.

In the opposition December 24th. Sakharov Avenue December 26, 2011 Daily Journal Yesterday, residents of Russia (at least those 100 thousand Muscovites who came to Sakharov Avenue) took another step towards turning into citizens. The main difference from the rally on Bolotnaya - this time, protested not only the indignation of falsifications in the parliamentary elections. A rally, judging by home -made posters, like: “Stop feeding the boa constrictor,” was frankly antiputine.

To understand the prospects of the protest movement, the next achievement of which was the thousands of a rally on Sakharov Avenue, it makes sense to analyze its structure.
