Sooner or later, protests in Russia will pour into something serious, but it will not happen in the short term.

This opinion was expressed to the "Observer" by the Russian human rights activist Lyudmila Alekseeva.

"Will the protests grow into something serious?" - asked "The Observer". "Not now. But I see how the protest grew younger. A few years ago at the rallies people mostly came of age, and now - one solid youth. The authorities diligently raise themselves a generation of resistance, "- answered the human rights activist.

Answering the question, in what perspective can we expect the result of the protests, she said: "I'm not an oracle, but in due time Herzen said that we need two unmarried generations. Here, the first unmarried generation has already grown up in us ".

At the same time, Alexeyeva noticed: "We have such a saying:" The Russians are harnessed for a long time, but they quickly go ". Who in 1991 was waiting for the White House to stand? No one. And it was, by the way, in Moscow, and not in Kiev ".

"We are an unpredictable people, but we will have a European future, although now we are going in the opposite direction. The authorities are going in the opposite direction, "the human rights activist said..
