You have to admit: our authorities are unmatched in sheer arrogance and brazenness. A large rally has just taken place, where the most popular slogan was “Sobyanin must resign.”
Sobyanin himself, after posting something sensible on Twitter..
.... immediately launched a vote on demolitions on his “Active Citizen” platform, effectively giving the go-ahead for the program to begin.
And he did it demonstratively—right after the rally, ahead of schedule. He did exactly what the rally should at least have forced him to pause.
With a kind of taunting flourish, too. The law has only just passed its first reading, and they’re already holding a vote.
It’s important to understand: voting on “Active Citizen” is always a guaranteed, 100% fake. Here is our investigation into it. And here Volkov covered it in detail.
It’s interesting to see how much longer they’ll keep up this brazen style.
In any case, it’s clear that the fight against “renovation à la Sergey Semyonych” (a colloquial reference to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin) will be a long, exhausting process, full of endless deception and manipulation. We need to stock up on patience and resolve.
And the right attitude as well. Like that of deputy Jankauskas, for example. As far as I could tell, it was the best speech at the rally and the one that went over best with the crowd.
