Народу на митинг пришло действительно очень много. Причем контингент был совершенно разный: от школьников и студентов, до людей в возрасте. Тут были и националисты, и монархисты, и преданные приверженцы различных политических партий, но  в основном это были обычные люди

Re: Putin

[00elen]

Your argumentation on the point that Russia needs Putin is based on the «belief » that Putin is capable to bring country to democracy. But let’s be earnest - even if Russia is not yet ready to the true democracy, to make a country to be a democratic one, its authority (Putin in our case) should at least be democratic itself. I can give you the example of Turkey here. Turkey had authoritarian president in 1920-1930 Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and country had one-party regime; still he considered this situation as a temporal one and supported other political party to appear on the political scene.

What we see in Russia?

• New political parties are forbidden to appear and be registered accordingly, for example, Parnas party. As consequence they cannot take part in elections.


• People suffer from violations of their Constitutional rights. The simplest example is the 31 article of Constitution that allows people the freedom of assembly. But we don’t have it in reality, meetings and gatherings are forbidden and recently 300 people have got to a jail and they are still there now because of it.


• All our president administration is rolling in luxury, spending their time on big expensive yachts and etc.  Though they cannot earn that much.


• All laws that appear defend oligarchs and their large businesses, but companies of small and middle size put into noncompetitive position.


• The education is falling down rapidly. Graduated students don’t know anything and still they have high expectations from life wanting all these expensive attributes (phones, iPads, cars and so on).  It is a very dangerous social situation.


• It was reported recently that we are possible to loose also our medical care. With demographic decrease it makes the situation even worse.


• Courts work for government only making decisions in the state interest. Khodorkovsky’s case and so on. There were people who were legally stolen from their businesses like that. We had the biggest cosmetic shops net in Russia and its owner were taken in prison because of something and spent there long long time. During this time his business got ruined because all commercial credits were closed. Then he was approved of cause and set free.


• We have already got lower than Nigeria (see  my article and the Forbes rating )

Putin has built the police state with the highest corruption level than we had ever. We had a corruption before but it was rather chaotic corruption, but now the corruption got to be well organized.

This way doesn’t lead to any kind of democracy whatsoever. We are close to fascism regime where people exist for and only for THE STATE. It is the regime that has the only purpose to feed its elites.When I read the foreign magazines many years ago and I read negative information about Russia I thought all these information to be highly exaggerated, far-fetched, and untrue. Now if I read it I understand that it’s the only true information that can be believed in.
