Although I am not a fan of the pseudo-opposition and consider it an element of the ruling system, in the situation with Gudkov I agree that there is no way for United Russia to deprive him of his mandate. No matter how we feel about the activities of the former colonel and about him personally, we cannot help but give him his due.

I’ll say right away and from the bottom of my heart - the authorities prepared for the rally perfectly, a straight A+. Sadovaya was securely blocked and filled with paddy wagons and buses, from which shields and boots of the “cosmonauts” stuck out. The police forces would be quite enough for a small victorious war and would still be left to maintain order in an average European state. But that's not all.

Environmental activists from the Voronezh region took part in the March of Millions in Moscow . Residents of Voronezh, Novokhopersk, Borisoglebsk, Elan-Koleno arrived in Moscow today to march with the opposition from Pushkinskaya to Sakharov with posters against nickel mining in Prikhoperye.

You don't have to wait until the end of the march to understand that it is over. And the anecdotal boast about millions (then for Putin - trillions) does not even increase the size of the failure. Failure - and in numbers. Well, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs lie, not 14,000, but the standard 30,000. Does this change anything? Once again those who walk have come. If there is no upward dynamics in a year, then this is a march to nowhere.

September 16, 2012 marks the 60th anniversary of Mickey Rourke, a brawler and rowdy, a rebel and an outsider, a biker, a boxer, and also one of the most talented actors of our time. By Rourke’s own admission, at children’s Christmas parties, he, the golden-haired boy, always got the roles of cute angels. The harsh reality quickly made its adjustments.

Photo: Valentina Romanova/PublicPost As you know, in St. Petersburg, the “March of Millions” was held by three different organizing committees. Two of which coordinated the processions from the Oktyabrsky Concert Hall and left with a difference of five minutes, and it seemed as if it was still a single procession without disagreements.

What was that again? I'm talking about the March of Millions... I went to all the rallies except yesterday (my broken leg has not healed yet). And now I have observed everything that is happening from the outside, so I pretend to some kind of objectivity. There is a feeling that the organizers (as well as their opponents - which is understandable) are interested, first of all, in the number of participants.

On September 15, 2012, on the summer stage of the Vladimir Garden (formerly Sverdlov Park), one of the most representative rally of the Ulyanovsk opposition was organized by the United Political Coalition of the Ulyanovsk Region . And although communal problems were the reason for the organization of the rally, almost every of the speakers raised housing and communal services in the context of the socio-political situation in the country. At the rally, the rule of “free microphone” acted.

The march and rally in Moscow, as well as actions in more than fifty cities of Russia showed that citizens are ready to seriously and for a long time get involved in the struggle for their rights and freedoms. Since September 15, it can be argued that a united opposition has finally emerged and taken hold in Russia. A large round table representing the interests of all political and social groups.

Among the participants in the action on May 6 in Moscow on Bolotnaya Square were, among other things, young people from the city of Tambov. Some were detained and later had unfounded charges brought against them. So in July, the magistrate court found one of them guilty of committing an administrative offense under Part 1 of Art.

On September 15, 2012, His Holiness Patriarch Kirill visited the Cathedral Church of the Sendai diocese , where he performed a prayer for the holy equal apostle Nikolai Japanese. The Primate of the Russian Church handed over to the rectors of the parishes of the dioceses, who suffered last year from a destructive earthquake and tsunami, certificates for the receipt of church utensils.

Our faith in miracles is ineradicable. For some reason, we think that three marches and nine rallies of many thousands are enough to defeat the swindlers and thieves who control hundreds of billions of dollars, the intelligence services, television and the army. No one can seriously believe that the Duma, together with its owner Putin, will resign after the disgrace with Gudkov.

There were about a thousand of us. And a small performance at the end) Original

What inspires: 1. The first, in December, a general civil action with absolute dominance of the left, not only on the procession (which is not new), but also on the stands.

Yesterday, September 15, dissent marches took place in many Russian cities. It is wonderful that in different cities of Russia there are people who are aware of the whole situation in the country and are ready to take to the streets. But still, in my opinion, Moscow should ultimately become the center of the protest movement.
