They have residence permits. We have only the streets.

Hi, this is Navalny. The funniest thing is
0:02
that at the same time, the most disgusting thing is
0:03
this document, which you can see here. It says
0:06
that a Kremlin analytical foundation was making
0:07
a forecast about Saturday's
0:09
protest rally in Moscow, and this is what they
0:11
wrote, translated into plain language:
0:13
"We in the Kremlin have figured that we can confidently
0:17
spit in the face of all Muscovites
0:19
and take away their right to nominate candidates
0:21
for election, and there is only a small
0:23
chance—just 4 percent—that
0:26
a significant number of people
0:28
will be outraged and take to the streets. Most likely,
0:30
they said, with a probability of more than
0:32
50 percent, people will accept that we
0:35
have now openly stripped them of
0:37
their voting rights by declaring them dead,
0:39
fake, invalid—and that
0:42
only a handful of the most unruly
0:44
will go out to protest, and after that we can safely,
0:47
they say, hold the election leaving only
0:50
United Russia candidates
0:52
on the ballots. But on Saturday I happened
0:55
to attend the biggest rally in
0:57
the last seven years. I saw tens of
1:00
thousands of people chanting, "Let them run!"
1:02
Thank you to everyone who came and rubbed the noses
1:10
of those scoundrels who think that in
1:13
Russia everyone has accepted the status of
1:15
serfs: obliged to pay tribute to the master
1:18
but entitled to no rights whatsoever.
1:20
There are many of us. We must continue
1:22
to fight for our rights. The lawlessness surrounding
1:25
the Moscow elections is so obvious
1:27
that even Putin's Human Rights Council
1:29
has said that independent
1:32
candidates must be allowed to run.
1:34
The candidates themselves are doing great and are not giving up.
1:36
No one lost their nerve, and the same group
1:39
as before has called on everyone next
1:41
Saturday, July 27, at 2:00 p.m., to come to
1:45
City Hall and not leave until
1:48
the tens of thousands of signatures
1:50
submitted in support of these candidates'
1:52
nominations are recognized and the candidates are
1:55
allowed to take part in the election.
1:57
By the way, it's very interesting now to read
1:59
various insider reports in the press
2:02
where the authorities are calling what is happening
2:04
a political crisis, and City Hall is shifting
2:07
the blame onto the Kremlin, while the Kremlin blames City Hall. As I said,
2:10
nothing works anymore except taking to the streets,
2:13
and Putin does not want to pay attention to anything else.
2:16
Our task is simple:
2:19
to come out, stand firm, show
2:22
persistence, and make sure that
2:25
it would never even occur to Kremlin analysts
2:28
to make forecasts saying that
2:30
most likely we will stay silent and endure
2:34
any injustice. Moscow: July 27, at
2:37
the City Hall building, 13 Tverskaya Street.
2:39
St. Petersburg, where elections have been
2:41
turned into outright criminality—I am a member
2:44
of the commission on...
2:54
July 24.
2:56
7:00 p.m., Lenin Square by Finland Station.
2:58
One more thing: since I am recording
3:02
this video after Saturday's rally,
3:04
forgive me, but I can't deny myself
3:07
the pleasure of responding to one of the most
3:09
vile,
3:10
lying, thieving crooks sitting
3:14
on our backs.
3:14
Vladimir Solovyov is a constant subject of our
3:17
investigations. He was practically squealing on
3:20
Twitter on the eve of the rally, so worried
3:22
that a lot of people would come. He wrote
3:24
that there would be Ukrainians there, outsiders,
3:27
minors, the living dead, and
3:30
also some residents of Luxembourg,
3:33
Bulgaria, and the UK. Look here:
3:35
we previously published
3:38
the residence permit under which
3:40
the crook Solovyov lives on Lake Como
3:43
and from there teaches us to love our homeland. And what
3:46
you are seeing now is a residence
3:49
permit of the Italian Republic
3:50
issued to citizen Vladimir
3:54
Rudolfovich Solovyov and his five
3:55
children. It's very easy to verify: if you
3:58
google "permanent residence permit in
4:01
Italy," you will see many documents exactly like this.
4:03
Solovyov is an endlessly
4:06
lying insect.
4:08
He works for the state
4:10
broadcasting corporation.
4:12
It is a loss-making propaganda dump, and
4:15
to cover its losses,
4:17
you and I every year
4:20
give it 21 billion rubles (about $330 million), meaning
4:23
each of us—including children and the elderly,
4:25
people with disabilities, pensioners, and police officers—
4:28
pays 143 rubles (about $2) out of our own pockets so that
4:32
he can live well and richly, buy himself
4:35
villas on a magnificent mountain lake, and obtain
4:38
residency in another country where
4:40
life is much better than in Russia
4:42
because there are fair elections there.
4:45
But for us there are no fair elections, and Solovyov
4:49
will squeal,
4:50
shriek, stomp his feet, and spray spittle.
4:57
He will do everything so that you and I never
5:00
achieve fair elections, because in
5:03
that case he would simply lose his
5:05
salary. If you do not want to feed these
5:08
hypocritical pigs, who wear a St. George ribbon (a Russian military-patriotic symbol) on their chest
5:11
and carry an Italian passport in their pocket,
5:12
then go out
5:15
into the streets and protest.
5:16
There is no other way. Solovyov,
5:20
Medvedev, Sobyanin, and Putin fear nothing else.
