As I understand it, there is currently a certain debate about the Spring March on March 1. Debate is a good thing; it happens before every mass event, and I myself took part in it a little on the eve of my arrest.

Thanks to The New Times magazine for organizing a mini-debate between me and Olya Romanova about the march.

Give it a read — perhaps something that was said will help you make up your mind as well.

Although in my view, the most "likely to drive people into the streets" piece in this issue of The New Times is "All the Best for the Children–2", about contemporary Russian neo-feudalism.

You look at the mugs of the bosses lecturing us about love of country, and the smug faces of their children running state banks, and somehow the question "should we go out or not?" immediately dissolves in your mind.
