We love to criticize government. It is always to blame for everything: the poverty of some and the corruption of others, the decline of education and the arrogance of the elites fattened in the growth of utility tariffs and traffic jams on the streets of Moscow. It would seem that the country has huge potential for protest: almost all dissatisfied. However, all attempts to stir up opposition to the people until the end with a complete failure.
Activities are regularly arranged non-system oppositions tend to collect a few hundred people, and they are the only result of regular detention Nemtsov and Milov Limonov. The only non-systemic event, attracting several thousand people, is the ...
Communist Party likely to hold November 7 thousandths of rallies and marches across the country. No wonder the team Zyuganov start this week with a stuffing of powerful information about the numerous violations of election law by the ... It is no accident that scandalous news conference broadcast channel ... So that the people of the Communist Party is likely to gather, but the nature of the ritual activities of communists are more like folk festivals, than release negative energy outraged citizens.
In the West, more than a month rally under the slogan ... Destabilize the situation did not help either the crisis or the election campaign. And the West with its fight against financial brokers we are not a decree. They increase taxes and the retirement age, and we have no. They cut scholarships, salaries and pensions, and we have these payments even though not much, but grow. So why fight it? .
Nevertheless, society still has sore spots, clicking on which people take to the streets. In the 90's rallied a lot because of the closure or redistribution of businesses and non-payment of wages. In 2002,. was a grand performance in Voronezh: 25,000 people staged a rally against the lawlessness of the monopolies that have inflated the rates for utilities and ruthlessly cut off defaulters. More recently, it was Pikalyovo. In all these cases dealt with the basic survival here and now, and the power to settle these conflicts are situational in manual mode.
Virtually the only attempt to influence legislative decisions were mass demonstrations against the monetization of benefits in January 2005. Burst of indignation arose at a time when benefit recipients found that they no longer have free access to public transport. T. e. it was a reaction to the decision already taken and implemented solution. For the same reactive pattern occur any local protests related to infill development, demolition of houses, cheating shareholders, attempting to ban right-hand vehicles, etc.
In the past year, people are increasingly facing the street because of inadequate law enforcement actions. As a rule, we are talking about unduly soft sanctions against suspects in serious crimes. The peak of these performances were last year's event at the Manege Square, is clearly provoked riots ended. As a result of a serious problem of corruption of law enforcement and the double standards of justice, was lowered to the level of ethnic conflict.
It was very stupid, especially because the problem of double standards in law enforcement system is relevant to all regions of Russia. Most often it occurs in the Caucasus, where people respond to the inadequacy of the investigators and the police in the same way as did the football fans in Moscow. Recently, residents Ahtynskogo district of Dagestan on the day closed the highway, demanding the arrest of a local resident, killed in a fight human ranivshego five more, and to dismiss those who covered the criminal.
In Blagoveshchensk similar story nearly ended in lynching over pedophile. A series of similar stories across the country indicates that the main cause of discontent are the inappropriate actions of law enforcement officers, and the nationality of the perpetrator plays a role complementary to the sublimation of conflict. In other circumstances, a similar role is played by the social component, often becoming a catalyst for the scandals associated with the excesses of the road.
In the 90 blatant arrogance of the ... More stringent traffic laws allowed defuse the situation, and now the wrath of the people are equally addressed and the cab, and covering their investigators. As a result, people blocked streets across the country - in Moscow, Tyumen, Bryansk, Volgograd, etc. - And every time it turns out that the reason is that the driver against the killer is not a criminal case.
What conclusions can we draw from all these stories? . T. e. They are loyal to the judicial system: the mass protests over the ... But the media and the Internet are filled with criticisms.
For example, the whole country discussed the history of the daughter of the chairman of the Irkutsk oblast election commission Anna Shavenkova, which received 2.5 years of hitting the pavement with a fatal outcome, and even with a delay of up to age of the child criminals. Following the story repeated in Volgograd, where the role of the murderer of seven children performed a former employee of the Regional Prosecutor's Office. After overlapping the street it was brought to court with the same result: 2.5 years, and also with a delay. Many are outraged by these decisions, but no one is trying to challenge the actions on the street.
At the same time, everyone understands that if too soft sentence was the murderer of Yegor Sviridov, Moscow could get a second Manege. This creates a paradoxical situation: a total allegiance to judicial and law enforcement agencies to secure their tyranny are only members of certain communities. Until all the other no one cares, and he remains humble with injustice, even in cases where it is a direct violation of the law.
On the other hand, what is the point to speak with the requirements of abstract justice equal for all, if, in principle, against this there is no objection? . Nevertheless, the practice of double standards in individual cases there, and it's not just about these cases.
It seems that people either are not able to build a basic logical chain linking cause and effect, either in their minds what are blocks that forbid them to participate in mass protests. What are these blocks? .
Any of these answers is bad, because fear, multiplied by the willingness to arrange a local scandal on a specific issue and let off steam, protecting ... Moreover, this willingness to situational group excitation with complete indifference to the more common problems are certain infantilism and hypocrisy.
Such sentiments completely rule out this civic solidarity, and this is a diagnosis of social fragmentation and degradation of the society. In the event that any authoritative decision touches all at once - and in a crisis sooner or later will happen - it could end up a powerful explosion of social, emotional, selfish and ruthless towards other groups. Figuratively speaking, the drivers will push pedestrians, horseless citizens - to burn and smash the car, and all together - together to do the only thing they can do together: to abuse the power.
Discuss.
