Unfortunately, in the Lubyanka-Kremlin group everything went perfectly. Navalny played his own, which had become traditional, the role, and Putin's "law enforcers" engaged in another catch. They will have a difficult task to separate the grains from the chaff and use the arrested children to find those parents, grandmothers and grandfathers drifting to the West, who need to be reasoned and put in place in an obedient herd. The Kremlin is not interested in believers, nationalists and other radical gangs, it is important for them to smother the thinking and critical young generation that consciously supports the protest against the authoritarian regime and can organize a change of political power.

All the arguments of approval and the support of Navalny, which come from politicians and public figures who identify themselves with democracy and liberal values, are at least absurd. Bulk is not one year, in unison with Putin's vertical keeps the opposition tense and pushes the protest in the right direction.

It is strange to observe how many politicians, without hesitation, "change their shoes" on the go, and even translate Navalnym for a day from the concerted action into an inconsistent attempt to present both radicalization of the protest and an attempt to aggravate the political situation. I will not say how the supporters and potential voters of Navalny should behave during the arrest of their presidential candidate. One can get an unambiguous answer to this question even from any apolitical citizen of a democratic rule-of-law state, and in Russia this is not only not said, but this topic is even inaccessible in opposition media.

Russia is still the GULAG, and the struggle for the right to be a supervisor in it has nothing to do with elections, democracy and common human values.

Neither Putin, nor the Kremlin, let alone the Lubyanka are not frightened at all and completely control the situation. Until the protest does not take an anti-imperial character, we will observe different "priest-guards" helping the ruling elites to retain power and extinguish protest moods.
