That’s in your world—weaklings living in comfort—that they block websites on the internet. In ours—in the harsh world of ushankas (traditional Russian fur hats with earflaps) and herring served in metal bowls—they block people directly. So they can’t write anything on websites on the internet. The Kremlin’s fear of “Smart Voting” is so great that they’ve blocked me. Now, when my lawyer comes to see me, he is allowed in, but soon a prison colony officer enters the room where we speak through glass and announces that the meeting with my lawyer “violates the daily schedule,” and cuts it short. I’m taken back to the barracks. Completely illegal and very demonstrative. But why? Because of you, that’s why. I spend all day here urging you to go vote on September 19 and use “Smart Voting” to hammer United Russia. The more people I can persuade, the better the chances that you and I can throw a couple of disgusting Putinist thieves out of the State Duma. So someone in the Kremlin decided that on the eve of the election I might suddenly be struck by inspiration and write something that would persuade a lot of people. And—imagine their disappointment—no special inspiration came, and now I’m writing this while expecting a guard to show up any minute. So, the classic situation: no time to explain. Please help me teach a lesson to those who came up with the idea of “blocking” me. Let’s imagine I wrote something absolutely heartbreaking here. You cried. Then you laughed. Then you cried again. And then you downloaded the Navalny app (links are in the profile bio and in Stories). Let them not think that simply by forbidding me to write posts they can make everyone love United Russia. And let them know that the idea of fighting for a better future for our country against those dragging us into the swamp is inspiring enough 😉
