Read the text and complete tasks 21-26

(1) It was Christmas Eve
(2) The guard of the resettlement barracks, a retired soldier, with a gray beard like mouse fur, named Semyon Dmitrievich, or simply Mitrich, approached his wife and said cheerfully:
- (3) Well, woman, what a trick I came up with! (4) I say, the holiday is coming... (5) And for everyone it is a holiday, everyone rejoices at it... (6) Everyone has their own: who has new clothes for the holiday, who will have feasts... (7) For example, your room will be clean, I will also have my own pleasure: I’ll buy myself some sausages!..
- (8) So what? – the old woman said indifferently.
- (9) Otherwise, - Mitrich sighed again, - it will be like a holiday for everyone, but, I say, for the kids, it turns out there is no real holiday... (10) I look at them - and my heart bleeds : oh, I think it’s wrong!.. (11) It’s known, orphans... (12) Neither mother, nor father, nor relatives... (13) It’s awkward!.. (14) So I thought of this: it’s necessary amuse the children! (17) They’ll bring a Christmas tree, decorate it with candles and gifts, and their kids will just jump for joy!.. (18) The forest is close to us - I’ll cut down the Christmas tree and give the kids such fun!
(19) Mitrich winked cheerfully, smacked his lips and went out into the yard.
(20) Wooden houses covered with snow and covered with boards were scattered around the yard here and there. (21) From early spring until late autumn, settlers passed through the city. (22) There were so many of them, and they were so poor, that good people built these houses for them, which Mitrich guarded. (23) By autumn the houses were vacated, and by winter there was no one left except Mitrich and Agrafena and a few more children, no one knows whose. (24) These children’s parents either died or went to an unknown place. (25) Mitrich had eight such children this winter. (26) He settled them all together in one house, where he was going to have a holiday today.
(27) First of all, Mitrich went to the church warden to ask for some cinders of church candles to decorate the Christmas tree. (28) Then he went to the resettlement official. (29) But the official was busy; without seeing Mitrich, he ordered to say “thank you” to him and sent fifty dollars.
(30) Returning home, Mitrich did not say a word to his wife, but just chuckled silently and, looking at the coin, figured out when and how to arrange everything.
(31) “Eight children,” Mitrich reasoned, bending the clumsy fingers on his hands, “that means eight candies...”
(32)...It was a clear frosty afternoon. (33) With an ax in his belt, in a sheepskin coat and a hat, Mitrich returned from the forest, dragging a Christmas tree on his shoulder. (34) He was having fun, although he was tired. (35) In the morning he went to the city to buy candy for the children, and sausage for himself and his wife, which he was a passionate hunter for, but he rarely bought it and ate it only on holidays.
(36) Mitrich brought the tree and sharpened the end with an ax; then he adjusted it so that it would stand, and when everything was ready, he dragged it to the children in the barracks.
(37) When the tree warmed up, the room smelled of freshness and resin. (38) The children’s faces, sad and thoughtful, suddenly became cheerful... (39) No one yet understood what the old man was doing, but everyone was already anticipating pleasure, and Mitrich looked cheerfully at the eyes fixed on him from all sides.
(40) When the candles and sweets were already on the tree, Mitrich thought: the decoration was sparse. (41) No matter how keen he was on his idea, he could not hang anything on the tree except eight candies.
(42) Suddenly such a thought came to him that he even stopped. (43) Although he loved sausage very much and treasured every piece, the desire to treat him to glory overpowered all his considerations:
- (44) I’ll cut each one a circle and hang it on a string. (45) And a slice of bread, and also for the Christmas tree.
(46) As soon as it got dark, the tree was lit. (47) It smelled of melted wax, resin and herbs. (48) Always gloomy and thoughtful, the children screamed joyfully, looking at the lights. (49) Their eyes perked up, their faces blushed. (50) Laughter, screams and chatter enlivened for the first time this gloomy room, where from year to year only complaints and tears were heard. (51) Even Agrafena threw up her hands in surprise, and Mitrich, rejoicing from the bottom of his heart, clapped his hands. (52) Admiring the Christmas tree and the children having fun, he smiled. (53) And then he commanded:
- (54) Public! (55) Come! (56) Taking a piece of bread and sausage from the tree, Mitrich dressed all the children, then took Agrafena for himself.
- (57) Look, the orphans are chewing! (58) Look, they’re chewing! (59) Look! (60) Rejoice! - he shouted. (61) And then Mitrich took the harmonica and, forgetting his old age, started dancing with the children. (62) The children jumped, squealed and twirled merrily, and Mitrich did not lag behind them. (63) His soul was filled with such joy that he did not remember whether such a holiday had ever happened in his life.
- (64) Public! – he finally exclaimed. – (65) The candles are burning out. (66) Get yourself some candy, and it’s time to go to bed!
(67) The children screamed joyfully and rushed to the tree, and Mitrich, touched almost to the point of tears, whispered to Agrafena:
- (68) Good!.. (69) We can say directly: right!..

1. The problem of the role of holidays in human life. (What role does a holiday play in a person’s life?)
1. The holiday is very important for people. And this applies to both children and adults. Children can sincerely rejoice and have fun, this helps them forget about all the troubles and feel happy. And adults, thanks to the holiday, forget about age, about problems, and plunge into childhood, happy and carefree.

2. The problem of mercy. (What is mercy? How does it manifest itself? Do a person’s financial capabilities affect the ability to be merciful?)
2. Charity is the ability to care for others. Organizing a holiday is also an act of mercy, since it is an attempt to give children a piece of happiness. A person, even alone, can do a truly good deed, show mercy, because this feeling comes from within, it does not require large financial expenses, a person is driven only by the desire to help, please, make happy.

3. The problem of a good deed, the role of a dear deed in a person’s life. (What is the role of a good deed in our lives?)
3. When a person does good and brings happiness to others, this makes him happy.

(24) These children’s parents either died or went to an unknown place. (25) Mitrich had eight such children this winter. (26) He settled them all together in one house, where he was going to have a holiday today.

(27) First of all, Mitrich went to the church warden to ask for some cinders of church candles to decorate the Christmas tree. (28) Then he went to the resettlement official. (29) But the official was busy; without seeing Mitrich, he ordered to say “thank you” to him and sent fifty dollars.

(30) Returning home, Mitrich did not say a word to his wife, but just chuckled silently and, looking at the coin, figured out when and how to arrange everything.

(31) “Eight children,” Mitrich reasoned, bending the clumsy fingers on his hands, “that means eight candies...”

(32)...It was a clear frosty afternoon. (33) With an ax in his belt, in a sheepskin coat and a hat, Mitrich returned from the forest, dragging a Christmas tree on his shoulder. (34) He was having fun, although he was tired. (35) In the morning he went to the city to buy candy for the children, and sausage for himself and his wife, which he was a passionate hunter for, but he rarely bought it and ate it only on holidays.

(36) Mitrich brought the tree and sharpened the end with an ax; then he adjusted it so that it would stand, and when everything was ready, he dragged it to the children in the barracks.

(37) When the tree warmed up, the room smelled of freshness and resin. (38) The children’s faces, sad and thoughtful, suddenly became cheerful... (39) No one yet understood what the old man was doing, but everyone was already anticipating pleasure, and Mitrich looked cheerfully at the eyes fixed on him from all sides.

(40) When the candles and sweets were already on the tree, Mitrich thought: the decoration was sparse. (41) No matter how keen he was on his idea, he could not hang anything on the tree except eight candies.

(42) Suddenly such a thought came to him that he even stopped. (43) Although he loved sausage very much and treasured every piece, the desire to treat him to glory overpowered all his considerations:

- (44) I’ll cut each one a circle and hang it on a string. (45) And a slice of bread, and also for the Christmas tree.

(46) As soon as it got dark, the tree was lit. (47) It smelled of melted wax, resin and herbs. (48) Always gloomy and thoughtful, the children screamed joyfully, looking at the lights. (49) Their eyes perked up, their faces blushed. (50) Laughter, screams and chatter enlivened for the first time this gloomy room, where from year to year only complaints and tears were heard. (51) Even Agrafena threw up her hands in surprise, and Mitrich, rejoicing from the bottom of his heart, clapped his hands. (52) Admiring the Christmas tree and the children having fun, he smiled. (53) And then he commanded:

- (54) Public! (55) Come! (56) Taking a piece of bread and sausage from the tree, Mitrich dressed all the children, then took Agrafena for himself.

- (57) Look, the orphans are chewing! (58) Look, they’re chewing! (59) Look! (60) Rejoice! - he shouted. (61) And then Mitrich took the harmonica and, forgetting his old age, started dancing with the children. (62) The children jumped, squealed and twirled merrily, and Mitrich did not lag behind them. (63) His soul was filled with such joy that he did not remember whether such a holiday had ever happened in his life.

- (64) Public! – he finally exclaimed. – (65) The candles are burning out. (66) Get yourself some candy, and it’s time to go to bed!

(67) The children screamed joyfully and rushed to the tree, and Mitrich, touched almost to the point of tears, whispered to Agrafena:

- (68) Good!.. (69) We can say directly: right!..

Explanation.

1. The holiday is very important for people. And this applies to both children and adults. Children can sincerely rejoice and have fun, this helps them forget about all the troubles and feel happy. And adults, thanks to the holiday, forget about age, about problems, and plunge into childhood, happy and carefree.

2. The problem of mercy. (What is mercy? How does it manifest itself? Do a person’s financial capabilities affect the ability to be merciful?)

2. Charity is the ability to care for others. Organizing a holiday is also an act of mercy, since it is an attempt to give children a piece of happiness. A person, even alone, can do a truly good deed, show mercy, because this feeling comes from within, it does not require large financial expenses, a person is driven only by the desire to help, please, make happy.

3. The problem of a good deed, the role of a dear deed in a person’s life. (What is the role of a good deed in our lives?)

3. When a person does good and brings happiness to others, this makes him happy.

* To formulate a problem, the examinee may use vocabulary that differs from that presented in the table. The problem can also be cited from the original text or indicated using links

— Good afternoon, Valery Dmitrievich, let's start with the latest events. Here, again, we had searches at night. Moreover, the searches are no longer of politicians, but of those who were identified as participants in these protests, as Sergei Semyonovich Sobyanin called them, “mass riots.” Although Varvara found out that what happened had nothing to do with the article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Mass riots”.

- Yes, I, too, naturally, looked at this article, which is incriminated against the accused, and, naturally, there is nothing in common between the content of the article and what we all observed, personally and indirectly, on July 27. The authorities are now trying to stop the growth of protests in Moscow. And she does this in two ways that are familiar to her, or rather, three. The first way is to isolate potential and actual leaders. The second is to hang the sword of Damocles of criminal prosecution over all potential participants in future actions. And thirdly, she is launching a propaganda campaign. Received guidelines, that the State Department is supposedly behind all this, neither more nor less. Look how quickly Trump reacted to Navalny’s poisoning (real or alleged). And that all this, they say, is not without reason and that it is necessary to stop the “fire of the orange revolution”, the “orange plague” in the heart of Russia, in the Russian capital, at any cost. A natural analogy with the “Bolotnaya case” arises. But I think that the authorities are not ready to go that far yet. She would rather like to intimidate. But if the protest continues, I am inclined to believe that it will continue in an unsanctioned form. Because those who came out on July 27 felt the charm of freedom.

Unauthorized protests will continue, and then this will entail tougher repression. But this still will not stop the protests, since they have become decentralized.

This is becoming similar to the yellow vest movement in France, where protests have been going on for almost a year now, if my memory serves me correctly, and where the organizer has not been identified. This is quite possible to do in Moscow and other large cities of the Russian Federation. What we saw on July 27 was the transition of a political crisis from a latent phase to an open phase. This is the beginning of the open phase of the political crisis in the Russian Federation.

— From the point of view of social psychology, how do today’s protests differ from the protests of 2012? Some say that people have become more evil. Some say that they felt that, unlike in 2012, there were no prospects.

— Your question actually contains the answer. First of all, there is nothing left to lose. And everyone understands this well. Secondly, any illusions that you can go to the polls and achieve something are disappearing right now. In Russia there have always been supporters of gradual steps, evolutionary action. All these hopes are dashed. Whether you go to the polls or not, you simply won’t be allowed to participate anyway. And third, people are tired of being afraid. It is very important. They are tired of being afraid. This is the part that took to the streets on July 27, she is freed from this fear, she broke through this barrier or it became lower for her and they are aware of this.. This did not happen in 2012, when the repressions first hit. But now they know that they have to pay for participating in politics, and they are ready. That is, a natural moral and psychological political selection took place, if you like. And this selection will forge, I am not afraid of this word, a galaxy of real revolutionaries.

- Yesterday, one of my acquaintances wrote that I was listening to the frightening speeches of the Prosecutor General, who is whipping up something about mass unrest, that now we will restore order, and so on, and all of Moscow and the region know that his son is involved in the garbage business and he polluted the entire Moscow region with his garbage dumps. Here he sits with a serious look, saying something, and people know that the stench from landfills is part of his son’s business. That is, they are no longer perceived as legitimate power. After all, the police who screwed people in the center of Moscow are the same people who beat people at landfills and during spot developments, acting as servants of the construction and garbage mafia. That is, people are beginning to develop some kind of immunity to these menacing statements from the security forces.

- These people went through school. I completely agree with your explanation, Yuri, that the government there has lost its legitimacy, because key representatives are mired in crimes. It's true. But what matters is how people perceive it all. They are tired of seeing all this, they are tired of enduring and they understand that they were left with no other choice. They just didn't leave it.
When you and I write books about how the next revolution began in Russia, we will use all these terms to legitimize power. When we look at this at the everyday level, in our everyday life, what words do we use? Enough. I can't stand it anymore. Enough. This is a feeling of moral satiety, right? What next, if we tolerate, we cease to be human. It’s no longer even a question of whether I’m a citizen or not. We simply cease to be human. This is how people defend their human dignity.

—That is, “not to be a beast,” as in this song?

-Yes. This is a very good song, by the way. It could very well be an anthem. Yes, “not to be a beast” is absolutely true.
— Yes... In your opinion, this is why they decided not to admit candidates? Was this some kind of miscalculation by the authorities or do they simply not care anymore?

- Well, you know, Var, both are true. Firstly, they are completely lazy, well, just completely, they don’t want to be sophisticated, they rely only on blunt force, that’s blunt force and an absolute disregard for public opinion. And secondly, I can put this first, a mistake was made in assessing the situation. We decided: it’s summer, people will swallow it. Well, before they swallowed it. Remember? Well, since they've grabbed it before, they'll grab it this time too. An, they didn’t steal it.

I have a feeling that for many who went to the rally on July 20, on the 27th, who will come out on August 3, they don’t care at all who the candidate is. They have a sense of the moral intolerance of the situation.

This seems very important to me. Moreover, the process of collecting signatures itself... To be honest, if you collect signatures, you somehow involve people in this matter, each candidate involves several thousand people.

You and I have said several times that people have changed psychological image, they don’t want to endure anymore, they want change. Not all of them are willing to pay for change, that's true, but those who came out on July 27 are clearly willing to pay for change. including your own, perhaps, freedom, and your own health. It is obvious. To be honest, I didn’t see such bitterness in ’12. It wasn't easy. Then people hoped that they would be able to somehow get through, everything would be much simpler. And now they understand that they will have to fight for real. This is the qualitative difference in the situation. And the authorities also did not appreciate the change in mass sentiment. Moreover, there is a qualitative change in mass sentiment. So, she made mistakes and this could have been avoided, or at least on this scale. because this is an unprecedented mobilization for the height of summer.

—By the way, in event, which as of August 3 had already registered almost twice more people than on the 27th. How can you explain this?

— There is such a field of scientific knowledge - the study of revolution, revolutionary studies. It says that if society perceives the government as illegitimate, then repression by the government is perceived as illegal and increases the political mobilization of protesters. This is exactly what we have come to now. The more they press, the stronger the force of opposition. Now we are seeing this in real time. This is considered a very important qualitative point for any political crisis, it means that we are simply starting to creep into revolution. Not in a crisis, but in a revolution, when people’s desire to resist grows.

“We discovered yesterday that the event itself was organized according to a very interesting scheme. There are about 5 points on the boulevards, starting from Strastnoy and ending with Pokrovka. And it goes on Roundabout Circulation along the boulevard ring.

— Visualization is important for protest. In my opinion, you can use the colors of the national flag, such as a ribbon or badge, for this. Then people understand that there are many of them, and arresting people because they have a badge with the national flag is already an admission that a coup d’etat has taken place in Russia.

— In your opinion, are the elections already over or, perhaps, Pamfilova will be able to turn on the ombudsman regime and again play some role?

- Well, it’s not Pamfilova who decides. Her powers have always been limited, this is decided at a higher level. IN in this case, the policy regarding the Moscow protests is determined by the security forces at the federal level. Sobyanin was on the side here, they gave me the text and said “Read it, protect the Russian Guard.” By the way, on July 27, the Russian Guard was instructed not to spare batons. They were told, “We’ll get you off your back, don’t worry.” This caused tension between them and the police.

—And who does Gorbunov from the Moscow City Election Commission work for?

— In this case, everything came under the control of the security forces, because the security forces are now preventing a color revolution. On July 27, snipers were sitting on the roof of Tverskaya.

— Do I understand correctly that our nomination to the Moscow City Duma is now equated to the “Orange Revolution”?

- Still, they haven’t come that far yet. They made a conclusion, I don’t know on what basis. But, considering that these are people who have serious mental problems, they are the people who assess the situation. I don’t know what kind of intelligence information they received.

“But it seems to me that they just invent them themselves.”

- You see, this is what they are afraid of. They are most afraid of revolution. They view the revolution as generals preparing for past battles. They think that a crowd will gather and take over some government building and set up a camp there. So it needs to be prevented. Therefore, like Pavlov’s dog, they reacted to the appearance of a tent on July 14 near the building of the Moscow City Election Commission. This immediately became a signal to them that this was preparation for a revolution.

—And you know that specially hired provocateurs carried these tents and waved candidates’ signs near them. But that’s not the point, the point is that there wouldn’t have been any tents if there hadn’t been these vile scenes when the signatures of opposition candidates were rejected. Moreover, everyone knew that the signatures that United Russia’s “self-nominees” collected were not collected from living people, but for some reason it was their signatures that were checked according to an accelerated procedure.

—Everything you say is the pure truth, but 2-3 years ago society would have swallowed this whole situation, would have been indignant, but would not have gone out into the streets. Now people have changed, they began to come out. And this is very important.

— Do you agree that there are simply very serious economic motives here, because they don’t need independent, non-corrupt candidates in the Moscow City Duma?

- Well, imagine: someone will consider the budget under magnifying glass and says “Look, why do so many billions go to curbs and landscaping, and not to hospitals?”

- And don’t just look at it! Nobody bothers us to look at it now; we rummage through it ourselves regularly. But with the powers of deputies, it seems to me that it is possible to create a completely different level of informing citizens about what is happening.

- Certainly! There's a lot of money at stake. And deputies have legal access to this information and will be able to quickly share it thanks to social networks, to which everyone has access in Moscow.

Information on the Moscow budget for 2019-2021 / Mos.ru

— Probably, the authorities “ran into trouble” even with the emergence of well-organized newindependentmunicipal deputies in 2017? And does this effect cause additional fear?

- Firstly, yes. Secondly, everything is being considered with an eye to the 2021 elections. Imagine, there, Yashin achieves success, Sobol achieves success. Yashin and Sobol are connected to Navalny. Gudkov achieves success. They publicize all these unseemly deeds, they become very well known and popular figures on a national or citywide scale, what will happen then in 21? They think with this in mind. And here they are thinking about the transit of power in order to carry out everything smoothly. They must win 80% of the constituencies during the Duma elections. There is already such a policy: 80% must be taken to ensure a majority in the State Duma. In voting on party lists, United Russia's chances are already decreasing almost every day.

In fact, it was not clear initially and now remains unclear how many of the opposition candidates could get into the Moscow City Duma. But the authorities do not want to take risks, this is important. It assumes that people are hiding their true allegiances now, more so than before, and therefore the election results may be unexpected. That is, they don’t even trust sociology, and sociology didn’t look its best. At least in some districts. Therefore, we decided simply not to risk it. This decision was made initially. This was a fundamental preliminary installation: not to let in either Gudkov, Yashin, or Sobol. And it was precisely on this issue that there was complete consensus between the presidential administration and the Moscow mayor’s office. Nobody expected such consequences. Now they probably think they should have let Mitrokhin in right away, then they would have split the conditional united front. Maybe someone else, they think, maybe one of the candidates who has less chance of getting through, you know? And then they took it and “banned” everyone. But it was possible not all, but the most dangerous ones. Just think, 1-2 people would have passed through, not very pleasant, but still tolerable. But, you see, they needed to achieve one hundred percent guarantees. That's "achieved". In fact, the institution of elections no longer exists.

—It seems to me, you know, they simply did not expect that the candidates would be prepared, that they would have headquarters.

— Honestly, we didn’t expect that we would be able to collect so many signatures. We didn't expect it, yes.

— Couldn’t this be the result of complete incompetence in political matters of Sobyanin’s “new” team? This is Sergunina, who previously was generally involved in city property.

“I can say with absolute certainty that all the people who work with her on the subject of elections speak extremely negatively about her. They say that Rakova, no matter how she was treated, was a very good political manager, capable of clearly responding to analytics, to changing situations, and modifying the political behavior of the authorities. Sergunina is completely different. This is a question of how to make more money from elections.

—Even so? Is this a laundering of campaign budgets?

— Huge amounts of money are being allocated for the campaign. I'm not kidding at all. This is allocated to field work, sociology, conducting and supporting independent candidates. It was possible to receive a budget, but it was several times larger than the budget of the opposition. We conditionally agreed to run as an independent candidate and said that I would campaign. They could have given you a lot.

—The corrupt officials at this lower level have now brought the country to the brink of revolution.

“That’s how revolutions usually happen.” It is not revolutionaries who lead society to revolution. Power leads. And not because of great intelligence, but because of stupidity, mistakes and greed. Here are three motives. There are studies that show that all revolutions, from two-thirds to three-quarters of revolutions, begin as a result of mistakes by the authorities, and not as a result of objective facts and actions of revolutionaries. Nothing like this. The authorities simply provoke themselves. We see in the example of Moscow how this happens.

— As for nonsense, Mikhail Svetov was detained right at the exit from the city hall. A parliamentarian came to negotiate and was detained. That is, not only were the negotiations themselves of an ultimatum nature, but the parliamentarian was also detained. This is fine? Is this a mistake or intent?

- This is their style of thinking, this is how they think. But in doing so, the government creates serious problems for itself. Who will now talk to you about anything or who will believe even a single word you say? To use the jargon characteristic of the ruling generation, this is all very un-boyish. Boys don't behave like that. They will receive a similar reaction in return. They show a tendency towards unmotivated violence. People are given a free hand. What do we see? The de-anonymization of police officers and members of the Russian National Guard has begun, and threats have allegedly already been made to their families. And what will happen next? It’s not the opposition that’s doing this anymore. This is very important to understand. Now any discussion about the need for negotiations is over. Now no one will debate whether changes need to be achieved in a revolutionary way or in a radical way. The discussion is over. The authorities themselves put an end to it.

— So, if we conclude here, people have stopped perceiving the authorities as a party to negotiations?
- Yes. In a broad sense, they are no longer perceived as power. They are perceived as usurpers. It is very important. You can use a strong expression - like an occupying power. But I would say that if you are not legitimate, you become a usurper. You have no right. And if the usurper resorts to violence...

- That is278tharticle of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

“Then he pushes those who oppose the usurpation of power to violence. You and I have already discussed the Moscow City Duma in previous interviews. Did the opposition have a chance to get a majority, like, say, in 1996? No. Maximum - 4-5 places. You and I understand this well.

— What about preventive arrests of oppositionists? In the country, all independent candidates outraged by the illegal rejection of signatures were arrested for a period of 10 to 30 days. This is a scandal! In essence, society was demonstratively “planted” with these false cases, which in no way correspond to the law and reality, just like drugs were given to Ivan Golunov.

- This is mistake. Politically this is a mistake. Protests will appear anyway, there will be other leaders. People have shown the ability to self-organize and act beyond legitimate leaders. This is the most dangerous thing that can happen - when the government deprives itself of the second party to the negotiations, the subject of the negotiations. When an autonomist movement appears that says: well, what can I talk to you about? You'll arrest us all. We will begin to act anonymously. This immediately increases the degree of violence, when people are afraid to negotiate, hide their faces, but at the same time are ready to protest, this automatically leads to an increase in the degree of confrontation and the degree of violence. Again, whose fault is this? This is a self-evident answer. This is important to understand. You and I are witnessing an absolute textbook development of the well-known political scientist and historian’s thesis that “The road to upheaval is paved by power.” It’s not the opposition, it’s the government that does this. Also notice how persistently and consistently she does this. Step by step.

— Valery Dmitrievich, then the last question. I'll ask again about the 3rd number. On the 27th a lot of people came out - despite some stuffing intimidating, warning about certain provocations, secret weapons. In fact it was even a very powerful hidden company. Now we have moved from stuffing and intimidation to specific arrests and imprisonments, cases have been opened under criminal articles, for which there is no suspended sentence, there is only one sanction - imprisonment. Now, if, despite all this, the same number of people come out on the 3rd as came out on the 27th, what will this say, in your opinion?

“This will indicate that the protests are taking on a new quality.” In its, at least, moral and psychological aspect. Next should follow in the fall the unification of protesters, the movement on a national platform. You can’t limit yourself to Moscow only. To achieve success, you need to go beyond Moscow. I think the protesters will come to sense this. Now the protesters are simply testing their own strength and power. It is important for people to feel their new state.

I had a feeling that on July 27th they caught the drive, what I observed, my extensive communication, incl. with those people who came for the first time, I was surprised by their reaction: “You know, we liked it, we’ll definitely come out!” We want to fight for freedom, we like to fight for freedom!” That's what they wrote to me. I believe that this is a very important moral and psychological shift. And then he will push for other political forms: for unification, for developing a long-term strategy, because in order to solve the problem of power in the country, a long-term strategy and national actions are needed. This is understandable, right? We'll get to this in the fall. I want to say that repression will become more severe. The repressive machine will operate for a year, starting in August. But by next year it will simply break.

- Why do you think it will break?

“She won’t be able to handle the stress she will face.” She will face growing protests. First. And second, a very strong moral and psychological breakdown will occur inside the machine itself. The risks will increase, you know? The risks for those inside the machine itself will increase sharply, and motivation will disappear. I can still understand, relatively speaking, the advanced Russian Guard who receive 50-60 thousand rubles. For them, coming from small towns, this is a lot of money. Plus hatred for Muscovites. Imagine these protests all over Russia. The Russian Guard definitely does not have enough strength. By the way, there are not many of them at all. I mean capable. This is the first. Secondly, there are officers, they will begin to think: is it worth risking their own lives and future for the sake of the generals. In any political crisis, such a moment occurs when the loyalty of the repressive machine begins to break. And according to my estimates, not only mine, by the way, the loyalty of the repressive machine will not last long.

Interviewed by Varvara Gryaznova and Yuri Ivanov.

Wednesday, July 31, 2019

I don’t know in detail what the situation is with fires in Siberia, but, as my local comrades explained, at first they thought that there was no need to extinguish them, and then, when they realized that they had to, it turned out that it wouldn’t be possible. And they decided that now we must continue to say that it was not necessary, because if we say that, after all, it was necessary, it will turn out that we have crap ourselves.

I had a classmate in elementary school who crapped himself in class and tried hard to pretend that nothing had happened. He sat at his desk with a concentrated face and did not get up. And everyone, of course, realized that something was wrong, they sniffed, whispered, in general, it was uncomfortable. During the break we found out what happened and to whom. Because everyone was running and jumping, and he sat - gloomy, serious, immersed in his textbook.
The teacher saved us. She said: “Vasya, I’m letting you go, go home.” He got up and left. And everyone breathed a sigh of relief. True, not right away.

In the situation with fires in Siberia, it feels like there is no teacher in the class, or she is very busy. severe runny nose and she doesn't feel anything. And so those who crap themselves continue to sit and remain silent, pretending that nothing is happening. It's disturbing and sad.

The story of the Moscow City Duma elections is even sadder. I feel like the teacher in this class crap. But she, as if nothing had happened, continues to teach the lesson, and when someone expresses dissatisfaction, she gives two marks and calls the physical educator to bring order to the class. And he says: “Guys, what don’t you like? Look how beautiful our curtains are!”
So it was we who gave money to them...

We, independent municipal deputies of Moscow, express solidarity with
demand of tens of thousands of Muscovites who came out to peacefully protest on July 20, 2019.

We advocate fair, competitive elections as the only way for peaceful change.

We once again call on the Moscow City Election Commission to register all opposition candidates for deputies of the Moscow City Duma.

We are confident that such a decision will ensure civil peace and tranquility in our city.

We demand from Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin and the Moscow authorities not to interfere with the Moscow City Election Commission to impartially consider the legitimate complaints of candidates about refusal of registration and make the only correct and legal decision on their registration so as not to aggravate the social situation in our city.

If the city authorities continue to block political competition and insist on an unfair and illegal decision to remove the candidates who have collected signatures, we are ready to present our demands at a public gathering near the Moscow City Hall on Saturday, July 27, together with our voters. We are ready to support Muscovites at this event with our personal authority and presence.

We call on the police to ensure the safety of citizens exercising their constitutional right to peaceful protest and are committed to assisting citizens in protecting the interests of society and local government.
