Here, on a single page, is an explanation of why Russia’s law enforcement system does not work. Why, in terms of the number of intentional homicides, we are on par with Africa. Why the FSB does not want to recognize the Surgut attack as a terrorist act, despite ISIS’s statement. Why the courts do not work. Why the inefficient quota-driven “stick system” (a police performance system focused on hitting numerical targets) still exists. Why officers grow dull and deteriorate without proper work.
Everything is here:
As Volkov rightly writes, under the law, this letter alone should have been enough to trigger a “Russian Watergate.” A sweeping investigation that would have led to a change of power and the replacement of the entire “law enforcement elite.”
But it will not. And the system will continue to function badly. Terrorist attacks will not be recognized as such. Officers will continue to deteriorate. Security will only keep declining.
That is precisely why I am running in the election: because in Russia, no one except a bunch of thieves in the Kremlin wants letters like this. And because the Interior Ministry and the FSB should not be wasting their efforts on this.
