Doesn’t anyone else want to sue me and demand money because the protest rallies inconvenienced you in some way? ⠀ It’s a real opportunity — you’d win easily. ⠀ I already owe money to Mosgortrans (Moscow’s public transit operator) because their buses were standing idle. ⠀ To the state agency "Avtodorogi" because OMON riot police trampled the flowerbeds. ⠀ To the restaurant "Armenia" because they had to close, even though, while they’re open, every customer supposedly eats 4.3 kg of meat there (I’m not joking — that’s exactly what they said in court; they calculated the amount of the claim based on that). ⠀ And just now I apparently started owing money to the Moscow Metro as well. They said that on the days of the rallies they have to bring more staff in to work. ⠀ Now I’m just waiting for Rosaviatsiya (Russia’s federal air transport agency) to sue me too. Passengers were peering out the windows to watch the rally and spilling tomato juice on the seats. Me and the other opposition figures should reimburse the dry-cleaning costs. ⠀ As you remember, in the run-up to the election, ACF (the Anti-Corruption Foundation) was releasing one investigation a day. In each video, relying on documents, we told you about theft on a multi-billion-ruble scale. Question: how many investigations are underway now? Answer: zero. ⠀ The only people being sued are those calling for protests against corruption and against candidates being barred from the ballot. ⠀ In Russia, thieves are in power. ⠀ But sooner or later, that will end. And then we’ll ram those 4.3 kg of shashlik (grilled meat skewers) down their throats.
