The old habit of picking up words so as not to start to howl. Sometimes helps.

The first thought that came to mind after the shock: but nothing new. After February 2015, it is already indecent to doubt that the elite of the Russian Federation consists of murderers and those who cover murders. This became more or less clear long ago, after the death of Yuri Shchekochikhin, but the murder of Nemtsov and the subsequent non-questioning of Goremeyev and Delimkhanov put an end to this issue (for those who still had questions).

No murder of a Russian oppositionist - especially a personal enemy of Putin - will not be investigated in Russia until the dismantling of the regime. The current "investigative bodies" of the Russian Federation, its "prosecutor's office" and "courts" - a typical gangster "roof", only with unlimited possibilities. With the same success it was possible to expect from the Berlin police of the 1930s investigations into Hitler and his elite.

To kill outside Putin's siloviki also learned very well: the list of Putin's enemies eliminated abroad (with a list of mysterious deaths in the bargain) begins with Yandarbiyev and does not end with Litvinenko. They were also killed in London - what can we say about Kiev! There they are like at home.

The second statement, which follows from the first. Any of us can be killed at any moment with complete impunity. To do this, it is not at all necessary that Putin himself personally ordered the murder: there is enough personal or corporate motivation for any of the numerous armed scoundrels in the highest environment - and repeatedly confirmed confidence in the impunity of such a crime.

Putin grew and legitimized the criminal environment in power, and now these metastases can develop quite independently.

The third statement. The Kremlin and Ostankino cries that the death of the opposition is beneficial to Putin's enemies have been heard since the murder of Anna Politkovskaya. Since then, the killings and "strange" deaths of political opponents of the regime have become a custom and have become everyday life, and every time, grinning, we are fed to the same foul conspiracyologic vulgarity.

Yes, a man with the blood of his enemies in the hands, theoretically, may be a victim of a series of purposeful provocations - but most likely it's just a murderer, is not it? "Occam's Razor", do you know.

(Control: during the reign of Putin, not a single political opponent of the presidents, prime ministers and chancellors of the United States, Canada, France, Britain, Germany, Japan, Australia was killed. Why did it happen? Do not want to discredit Trump and Merkel? Or the reason is that the power in these countries is not usurped, and the prosecutor's office is not in the share with the administration? ) The fourth statement. No other elite, except for the power elite (consisting of war criminals, just murderers and their roofers in law enforcement agencies), is currently absent in Russia: it is ridiculous to talk about parliament, and the "liberals" are on the staff of the regime, as a collective Ulyukaev; with any of them, at any time, you can do anything, and they know it. There can not be any economic reforms in the conditions of sawing and permanent war, and all our kudrin grefs understand this perfectly, otherwise we would have to assume that they are idiots.

But they are not idiots. They, alas, accomplices. At a minimum, politically: as part of the cover-up operation.

Fifth statement and forecast. All the regimes characterized by the parameters described above: contempt for human rights, unpunished lies, irremovability of power, international intervention, political repression and assassination killings - were very expensive and bloody for the peoples who allowed themselves to do so, and Russia will not be an exception. There was no "special way" in history and no (it was deceived by you).

There are models of development with clear and long-studied characteristics. Therefore - where Uzbekistan with Uganda, there we are, a trace into the track, believe me.

And served us right, fools and patience. On the day of the murder of a brilliant and honest journalist, Arkady Babchenko does not even want to ask for another outcome.

Yes, and forgot to say: damn you.
