Politician Vladimir Kara-Murza * arrested in the case of spreading fakes about the Russian Armed Forces.
In addition, the Ministry of Justice included him in the register of individuals-foreign agents.
It should be understood that Kara-Murza and his ilk have, in fact, been engaged in wrecking against Russia in recent years.
And thus, I would like to dot the i in this sense.
Public and cultural figures, not to mention politicians, in a period of trials for the state must make an unambiguous choice - they are with the people or on the side of the enemies.
And those who are on the side of the enemy have no reason to be surprised and complain.
So it has always been, and so it will always be.
Let me remind you about the Nobel laureate Knut Hamsun, to whom all his merits did not help to avoid public censure after supporting Hitler, and only a very advanced age saved him from a prison term.
There are no people of Hamsun's age, let alone his talent, among our fifth column.
By the way, the day before, a list of Ukrainian artists and "cultural figures" appeared who were banned from entering Russia for the next 50 years.
If we adopted such a list in relation to strangers, then why didn't we think over measures in relation to the same figures, but domestic ones?
Why do these people continue to poison the body of the state with their activities?
Why is there no systemic pest policy with Russian citizenship?
It is also clear that today we urgently need a mechanism to respond to provocations in art, culture and the information field.
Incidents and provocations in the style of "Big Mother" in Gostiny Dvor are simply unacceptable!
The time for abstract reasoning has passed.
Now is the time to act.
Now it's up to our legislators and profile officials.
A test of strength and determination.
