About the action of the Open Russia a few words. Now there are two types of political actions:.

1) Specialized for permanent political activists, who always want to go somewhere. It is difficult to condemn them for this, because the situation in the country is really difficult, but they are going to such actions, as a rule, exclusively "professional oppositionists", and the effect of them is a bit.

2) Broad with the participation of a large number of ordinary people throughout the country. We saw that only Navalny can mobilize such shares - because for 10 years it managed to create a unique media infrastructure that competes in coverage with federal media and which no one else has, because it has a agenda that "clings" the broad masses People, and because he himself is a charismatic and consistent leader who has already formed a well-spun name.

In this situation, I do not see much sense in participating in actions like (1) - and yesterday's action of Khodorkovsky's supporters obviously belongs to them - but I do not think they should condemn them either, people want to go out, there is why, let them go out. They, in principle, come out for the right thing. But the effect by definition is not so much, see point one.

For myself, I have long adopted the principle of saving forces and resources for the sake of some one big project, which obviously I consider the unfolding campaign of Navalny and the associated protest movement. This development of events is precisely in the way that I have called for many years (with wide coverage of regions, access to presidential elections, understandable to people by messages that go beyond the framework of oppositional evangelism).

Therefore, if someone wants to go on parallel actions - let him go, but at the same time I call on all of them to join the truly mass protest, which can now be connected only with the campaign of the Naval. This will bring the greatest effect. Enable faster. There is a place for everyone.

About all sorts of organizational details, luck / failure - this I will express supporters of Khodorkovsky in the working order.

About "leader / leaderless": read the book by Rudy Giuliani "Leadership". Leadership in politics is just as necessary as parliament, freedom of the press, political competition, and so on.. I can give you a thousand examples how, in different countries, something did not grow together, it did not grow together, and then a leader appeared, and it began to grow together. Russia-2017 is an obvious example of such a vivid example. Examples of EFFECTIVE "no-leader" - there is probably, but not much.

About "burn tires instead of petitions": that's who writes this, he immediately asked him - how many tires personally? Not at all? Come on, bye, the discussion is over.
