Wow, what a rally we had in Chelyabinsk. A great city, wonderful people.
It was important for me to come here precisely on these days, when this whole incomprehensible and shameful-for-the-authorities story is unfolding with the ruthenium cloud over the entire Southern Urals: no one really knows what it is, where it came from, or what the consequences will be. Officials do not consider it necessary to explain anything.
The region’s chief oncologist is, like, joking: drink some beer and you’ll be fine.
Well, maybe you could joke about it if there hadn’t already been the 1957 accident here, which was covered up for decades. I spoke about it in detail in my latest program.
You can really feel how fed up people are with all of this.
It’s freezing outside, but yesterday there was a big environmental rally in Chelyabinsk called “STOP GOK.” The governor thought he was being clever and approved our rally for the next day in the same place. Supposedly, no one would go out and protest two days in a row in weather like this.
They did:
An amazing rally. Thank you to everyone who came. This is why you have to go to the polls—to feel in moments like this that you and these people are one political force.
Chelyabinsk is with us, and here we can beat anyone.
Support our campaign with signatures and donations. We’re the real thing.
