On Saturday, important events took place in the center of Moscow. Here you need to immediately determine the terminology. Many media outlets call this performance an unauthorized rally of a non-systemic opposition about the failure of some self-proclaimed oppositionists to take part in the race for the city deputies of the Moscow parliament.

So here. This event is nothing more than an attempt to organize mass riots in the center of Moscow with provocation of law-enforcement agencies to a harsh reaction, following the example of their colleagues from Paris or New York, where in similar circumstances no one with disturbers of public order does not stand on ceremony.

The second term, which is also dubious, is “non-systemic opposition”. If this is the opposition, then certainly in the system of political coordinates. By the way, here is alaverdi Monsieur Navalny, who promised, as a coup d'état would do, to feed all political scientists to wild animals in the zoo.

So, the attempt to organize mass riots in Moscow with a provocation on an extremely harsh reaction of law enforcement officers failed. Of the 3.5 thousand participants in the performance, there were about 800 journalists from various publications and bloggers, who informed the police in advance about their desire to cover the scandalous event. Like, do not touch us: we are at work. The rest of them turned out to be guest performers from neighboring regions and even from neighboring states. The police detained 1074 of the most aggressive participants of the event - who threw pieces of broken asphalt into riot policemen, sprayed unknown gas from cylinders brought with them, resisted, blocked central highways, etc. That is, such trained comrades gathered to support the “non-system” Moscow candidates in the Moscow City Duma. So, among the detained almost 600 activists from neighboring areas, and from the Moscow region a few dozen. Thus, extremist-minded and adequately prepared young people were brought to Moscow for the day they wanted. This, of course, costs.

On this occasion, in various social networks, there are already a lot of conspiracy theories about how “the capital protest is turning into an all-Russian”. But I think everything is easier. Having received funding for the riots in Moscow, the organizers, as usual, sent half the money immediately, and hired volunteers from the province for the remaining money ten times cheaper.

Muscovites know their value. Yes, even these pseudo-politicians also know, and, of course, they wouldn’t run into police arrests for low prices.

It is worth noting here that the majority of citizens, both Muscovites and those on distant frontiers, sincerely wonder why the law enforcement authorities in the capital are so politely and mildly with such activism.

Why in France they break their hands and beat their eyes and teeth, in New York they poison them with gas and water cannons, imprison the organizers for real periods, and here, just like in a totalitarian state, they politely deliver them to the department, take explanations and after the preventive conversation they let out before the trial, who until next time?

Oh, yes, on the eve of all the same administratively arrested Comrade Navalny for 30 days for systematic violations of the law. So he and there retreated from compulsory work, blaming the hospital. Like, allergic to him. Today, all the liberal media and the army of his loyal network bots howl: “Lesha was poisoned!”

Another observation. Some of the demonstrators tried to wear yellow vests, as in France. So in France there really is a massive national uprising against the cannibalistic liberal reforms. And then who? Fans of radical liberalization (thanks, passed in the nineties!) With hired aggressive extras from the province. Muscovites do not need this farce. In Moscow, thank God: there are enough problems, but no one really needs extra hemorrhoids.

However, it is worth noting that the performance to obtain the necessary content for broadcast in the global media in order to create the appearance of repression in Russia of dissent was partly a success. All the editorials of global media are full of reports and selfies. Beautiful, juicy, staged.

So, the famous Bitcoin wallet of the neo-Bolshevik Navalny will probably again be generously replenished soon - and, freeing after three weeks, he will traditionally fly away to the Mediterranean Riviera to rehabilitate "broken in the dungeons of health" and write new theses and projects for potential customers distemper in Moscow.

“What does the election of deputies of the Moscow city parliament have to do with it?” The corrosive reader will ask. It has nothing to do with it.
