Since 2014, after the annexation of the Crimea, when Russia has irrevocably slipped into an unstable political regime with a worsening life situation and an indispensable increase in protest, our political party "Western Choice" and few citizens identifying themselves with liberal values ??are accused of inaction and detachment from protest activity , Which is organized by Navalny and other Imperials. The main reason for the passivity of liberal citizens is in the aesthetic contradictions of the goals and methods offered by the "leaders" of the protest. But if you look at what is happening in essence, you can distinguish the main thing:.
The situation in Russia, which in all ages has been more powerless and much poorer than during the reign of Putin, can not suddenly become a protest, the more revolutionary.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? 2. The main engine of reform and progress in civilized democracies is the strengthening of human rights and freedoms in civil society. In Russia, these criteria are not understood, underestimated, and therefore sensible and conscious protest is almost impossible to organize.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? 3. The ratio of the forces of the adepts of power and their opponents is incommensurable, therefore the form and requirements of today's protest actions are possible only in the wake of the current legislation, and not on the basis of the letter and spirit of the non-working Constitution of the Russian Federation. To peacefully in the legal field nullify the accumulation of illegal and unconstitutional federal laws and presidential decrees, it is necessary that the protest is headed by senior officials of one of the branches of government or local government, if the protest is regional or municipal. The conclusion suggests itself - all that the "opposition" tries to organize is an imitation of a protest without any chance of success. The forms and methods of protest actions must be completely different, based on the availability of the forces and means of protesters.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? 4. In a situation where the government is total and uncontrolled, it is counterproductive to organize a protest against such phenomena as corruption and abuse of power. Requirements should be formed in the criteria of universal values, international declarations, political and civil pacts.
What Navalny and other "opposition" politicians do is throwing under the "tanks" of indifferent citizens who sincerely believe in the correctness of their "leaders". In order to conduct such a political struggle and demand a change of power, it is necessary to have a comparable resource, which neither Navalny nor anyone else from the "oppositionists" in Russia. The reason that the government does not eliminate Navalny and other public opponents of the regime is that they, firstly, do not pose any threat, and secondly, the presence of such "oppositionists" at liberty legitimizes the power itself and is preventive in the early stages Protest reveals the active opponents of the regime, from which, possibly, in the future could be threatened.
I do not dispute that after the annexation of the Crimea, the cornered system can certainly sacrifice both Putin and Medvedev and any other official of the highest echelon of power, but it will not simply surrender it to the hands of democrats so simply and bloodlessly and will try to fight to the last Any politician and public figure, from which a threat emanates, regardless of his political views.
