It was impossible not to go to Pushkinskaya on Monday evening ... And my wife and I went. It seems that everything, as before: smart faces, white ribbons, speakers on the stage, pathos chants and a calm police - but the mood is clearly not right. The elections took place, the Maslenny festivals were over - but the coming one could not be called a pure Monday. Everyone voted, someone observed, talked about the results. Now we diverge? And why was it all?

Two Moscow friends, independently of each other, repented me after the announcement of the election results: here, they say, you are so convincingly writing about the regionalism, but in all regions the majority chose Putin. And Moscow, which you criticize, on the contrary, would leave him on the second round, but now forced to submit to the provincial majority.

The rally on March 10 returned to Moscow the vigor of the spirit and overcame it, as he rightly wrote V your own Facebook Cyril Rogov “Pushkinskaya Syndrome” is a short -term decline in the spirit, “everything is lost, Putin won. And the sun will no longer grow up.

The thesis is the first . Any enthusiasm for novelty inevitably contains disappointment and despondency. Not subsequent, but related. There are a lot of things: uncertainty and futility, randomness and absurdity, intelligent reflection and fear of mental overstrain.

We are witnesses of the new "mass policy of the population." Historians will describe this era something like this: during the board of President Medvedev, the debate began whether the political system of the social modernization that Russia has passed over the twenty post -Soviet years corresponds. Medvedev - the figure is contradictory - but it was his inconsistency that turned out to be a generator of "mass policy".

You can go to rallies before blue, shout “Russia without Putin”, post caricatures, talk about falsifications in the elections - this will not change anything. Moreover, people who are desperate to the thought of “die under Putin” or raise children in a criminal state - more, they will pack their suitcases or hide along the holes, which will join the opposition in its current format. Already now they are persistently asking: do you offer something, what program of action?

This article is the postscript of the “Gifter readings”, about which our readers complained of the lack of conclusions. Without claiming to replenish the gap and retelling of theses more competent than me, speakers - they themselves will be able to state their thoughts - I will still share some of their own. *** It is easy to notice that the word "justice" did not always sound as loud as today. Indeed, justice practically did not speak in the era of privatization of 1991-1999.
