The weather in Moscow was favorable for a mass walk of citizens with writers from the Pushkin monument to Chistoprudny Boulevard. A festive atmosphere reigned. Met a lot of friends. Sergei Parkhomenko led the column of thousands, raising a flower above his head. I saw writers Ulitskaya, Akunin, Latynina, Shenderovich. Gennady and Dmitry Gudkov and Ilya Yashin performed at the monument to Abai Kunanbaev.

ITAR-TASS From noon, writers and musicians walked in a thousands of readers in the Boulevard Ring: from the monument to Pushkin on Pushkin Square to the Griboedov monument near pure ponds. However, Griboedov became a control, but not the end point of the walk.

Recently, the opposition-minded part of society has been experiencing an obvious “crisis of the genre.” That is, it is certainly obvious to everyone that the “festivities” will not end in anything other than further polarization of society. The level of intransigence in society is growing right before our eyes, people are beginning to “choke at the bit” and completely lose their sense of reality.

Time has passed, passions have subsided, the characters have spoken. Now you can analyze. I think my position is now close to final. So: because of whom did the people who came to the rally not see this rally? To be honest, I immediately felt that all this was not good. The differences between this Bolotnaya and all the previous ones were striking: there was no such transparency and excitement in preparing for the rally.

I have already written about this outrageous case. I personally know Maxim as a consistent and principled person, a wonderful comrade. But the situation, according to the Interregional Human Rights Association "Agora", is becoming more and more dramatic at the suggestion of investigators.

The walks said that the writers managed to gather much more people than opposition leaders Alexei Navalny and Sergey Udaltsov. The correspondent of PublicPost Evgeny Natelashvili also walked with famous writers.

Wild squirrel in the center of the US capital. Washington greeted us with packed hotels (the city is currently hosting a number of major congresses, in particular, for architects and police - police in Scottish kilts also live in our hotel) and warm weather. On the first day there was an informal meeting with the leaders of the most influential student organization in the United States, representing the interests of several million people.

I have never written or thought about a political topic. But it happened - I found myself among those in whom a citizen awoke on the wave of protest movements. I was brought into the ranks of the protesters by disappointed expectations.

In short, it’s DELIGHT! And pride... Until recently, I was completely convinced that Russians harness for a long time... And they don’t go anywhere! Looks like I was wrong. And I’m very happy about it. From Rozhdestvensky Boulevard I turned around and even worried: would there be enough megapixels in the camera to capture so many people (just kidding). I went to Pushka and was afraid...

Dear Mr. President. It is pleasant that you can turn as before. I believed all four years that you would return to your place. Let it be illegally, the winners are not judged. And change competitors to the next election race. They somehow wanted to win. If they didn’t win, they are unlikely to win. And you need victory, not to save billions where they will be saved. In order to fulfill promises given to a woman and people. You are an officer. If you have promised something, it's nothing.

After grazing the opposition cow on pure ponds in Moscow, “orange” writers who arranged the so -called “control walk” in the capital reached a walk in Moscow. The well-known opponents from the pen and notes participate in this farm provocation: Grigory Chkhartishvili (aka Boris Akunin), just Viktor Shenderovich, Sergey Parkhomenko, Andrei Biljo, old Wedolas Andrei Makarevich and other “figures”.

I am touched by the word “workaholic”. They pronounce it with such reverence. Telling how the cordial spends all his time at work. No days off. At the same time, it seems that he hardly eats, does not sleep, and certainly does not wash. This refers, of course, to state and quasi-state enterprises, institutions and organizations. One thing is interesting.

In Moscow, the opposition camp on Chistye Prudy became a new event in the life of Russia. For the first time, the opposition is holding an open-ended protest, which has become a kind of civil forum. The Moscow initiative, popularly called “Okkupayabay” after the poet Abai Kunanbayev, near whose stone statue a camp was formed, was picked up in the regions. However, a lot of questions immediately accumulated for the newly-minted Occupy.

1. On Sunday night , the city public organization “Orenburg Youth Movement”, posted the following message on Vkontakte: ATTENTION!!!!!! Today Svyatoslav Shcherbakov, returning home late after the rally, WAS BEATEN BY TWO STRANGERS!!!! Strangers were waiting for him near the house, where they attacked him. Shcherbakov received multiple punches and kicks, and a rib was allegedly broken. AFTER THE BEATING, THE UNKNOWN PEOPLE SAID THAT IF THEY SAW HIM AGAIN AT ONE EVENT, THEY WOULD KILL HIM...

Yesterday, a total of about 50 people visited the square. I was in the square all day. Today I also plan to spend the whole day there, so I invite you to Revolution Square to the Lenin monument. We are just walking, this is not an action, we are not prohibited from walking. Yesterday there was also a funny moment. Mister policeman comes up and asks: “How long are you going to walk here?” I say: “Dear, but we don’t have a curfew, we can walk as long as we want.” The policeman agreed and left.
