Why, why did the bill on burial of Lenin's body suddenly appear, was this done once again in order to shift the attention of citizens from real problems to fictitious ones? Well, Lenin lies in the Mausoleum, and lies, to whom does he interfere? Or is it the beginning of some clever pre-election combination. During which Putin at some point will support the initiative of Duma members, will sign the corresponding law, and eventually go to the presidential election as a leader who decided to do something that his predecessors did not solve? - writes on the portal "Echo of Moscow" Russian journalist Yevgeny Kiselev.
Or maybe some mystical considerations have moved in the Putin's head, because there is a theory that until Lenin's body is buried, Russia will never be able to get out of the quagmire of its tormenting problems - from growing international isolation to an ever-increasing stabilization and technological gap From the advanced countries of the world, which can not be compensated by any imperial rhetoric, no saber rattling, no hurray-patriotic slogans.
I dont know. I think, however, that the whole idea with the law, which supposedly will allow us to finally remove Lenin's mummy from Red Square, is nothing more than an attempt to translate public discourse into a false, or as it is now fashionable to say, "fake" channel.
In this story I am personally struck by another. Although, according to the results of the recent poll of Levada Center, 60% of Russians are in favor of reburancing the remains of the Bolshevik leader in one way or another. And 56% positively assess its role in the domestic history. 44% treat Lenin with admiration. Respect, or sympathy. 79% do not agree with the idea of ??demolition of monuments to Lenin. And this completely kills me.
A radical, an extremist, a politician who despised democratic rights and freedoms, a man who committed an armed anti-democratic coup d'etat, dispersed the Constituent Assembly, established a one-party dictatorship, a blood-stained country that unleashed a "red terror" in the country, millions of people who forced millions of emigrants to emigrate Other, the very best, the most talented, the most noble, the most educated, the most enterprising sons and daughters of Russia, and thereby initiated the centenary negative Selection of the Russian gene pool, enjoys the honor and respect of the majority of today's Russian citizens. This is, of course, the greatest moral and moral crisis of the country in which we live.
