Pasha Danilin leteha has declared war on the "Medvedev thaw." I had thought he was writing about his knife-fighting and hand-to-hand combat courses, and about how he was "learning how to deal with a baseball bat"? But here’s what it’s actually about: In their outright lies and vileness, those who advocate some kind of “thaw” are comparable only to Goebbels. It is perfectly obvious that their main idea is not any “softening of morals,” nor any rejection of the authorities’ “aggressive rhetoric.” A very nasty article. Lots of attacks on the "intelligentsia crowd, Masha Gaidar, Akhedzhakova, etc." But the ending interests me most: P.S. And for the especially zealous, I would like to remind you of the recent past. When the Orange Revolution was raging and Rogozin was trying on an orange scarf, we fought Rogozin. When Belov-Potkin was gathering all the fascists under his banners and luring in short-sighted nationalists, we fought Potkin. When the alliance of liberals and Nazis was preparing to flood our cities with the orange contagion, we fought the Kasparov-Kasyanov-Limonov filth. At that time, all of today’s lovers of the “thaw” kept their heads down. Now they’ve floated back to the surface… Basically: you have no idea who you’re dealing with, and we’ll tear you to shreds. The person supposedly to be torn to shreds is Putin’s press secretary Timakova (and later, most likely, Medvedev’s too), along with her husband Budberg. This is great. One can only imagine what biblical plagues await Pashtet and Vitaly Ivanov once "old man Timakov" and his team finally come fully into power. Then they’ll really have to "learn how to deal with a baseball bat." By the way, I’ve come up with an excellent move for the "thaw supporters" (that’s what I’ll call them). They should immediately launch a campaign to recognize Medved as the New National Leader, on the grounds that he received the highest level of electoral support in the past umpteen years. And that he united the whole country (and if even Yezh is running articles in his support, then he really has united it).
