Can people's hatred of the authorities develop into a revolution: opinions. Hatred of Putin in Russia is growing by leaps and bounds - opinion People’s hatred of Putin’s power

The collapse of Russia is inevitable, the country now looks like a territory in the center of which, in Moscow, there is a barrel of gunpowder, and around, in the regions, fires are burning, the site reports. One spark - and everything will explode, said Russian oppositionist, deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation in 1995-2000, chairman of the Western Choice party, businessman Konstantin Borovoy in a commentary to GORDON, according to whom, .

“In Russia, of course, hatred towards Putin, his insane corruption and deceitful propaganda is brewing. In the country, despite the results of the State Duma elections, an absolutely revolutionary situation has arisen, when a barrel of gunpowder can explode at any moment. It has long been clear to the people that it is coming from above the struggle of bulldogs under the carpet for rapidly dwindling economic and financial resources. This struggle spills out in the form of incriminating evidence, investigations, criminal cases initiated by the Investigative Committee, the Prosecutor General’s Office, and so on,” Borovoy said.

The oppositionist insists that the regions will be the first to rebel against the policies of the central Kremlin government. “Two years ago, I spoke about the inevitability of the collapse of Russia. Then it seemed absurd and an exaggeration. Now - no. Putin, in fact, created a complete set of conditions for the inevitable collapse of Russia. Protests will begin, and very quickly. The most likely scenario is calm protests in the regions or single-industry towns, Putin will give the order to suppress the rallies with the National Guard, which will lead to casualties. And then, of course, the wave of protest will reach key Russian cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg,” Borovoy is convinced.


The key reason for the collapse of Russia, according to the oppositionist, will be the rigid vertical power structure built by President Vladimir Putin over the 17 years of his actual rule. “Putin created a system of strict management called the “Vertical of Power”. This is a vertical of absolutely centralized distribution of resources from Moscow to the regions. All these years, the vertical was based on oil revenues, but now prices have collapsed. Low oil prices, insane corruption and irrational use resources skewed toward military programs have already created an explosive revolutionary situation in Russia,” insists Borovoy.

The former deputy recalled that if in the mid-1990s the scale of corruption in Russia was measured at $10 billion throughout the country, then under Putin the same money is “siphoned out of the budget” for only one of many government programs.

“In the mid-1990s, there was a report on corruption in Russia. At that time, corruption was measured at approximately 10 billion dollars. Now 10 billion are corruptly siphoned from the budget just for laying granite and marble tiles throughout Moscow. In the 90s they said that the biggest rollback in contracts were in the Ministry of Defense - almost 40-50%. Now this is, perhaps, the minimum rollback in any area. During Putin’s reign, corruption has acquired a qualitatively different level,” Borovoy explained.

According to a former State Duma deputy, national and remote regions such as Tatarstan and the Far East will be the first to sever ties with the center.

“I think separatism will begin in national regions, for example, in Tatarstan, which has already declared its independence once. Or it will begin in remote regions like the Far East, which quietly survives without Moscow only on transit and huge customs revenues. The Far East in general partially works for China and Japan, they have reliable buyers. What does a rigid vertical power mean? This is when there is a keg of gunpowder in the center, and fires are flaring nearby in the regions. The regions will have to either break ties with the center and survive on their own, or continue to remain. in the orbit of Moscow, but then the risks of popular protests and conflicts within regional elites increase,” Borovoy concluded.

By the way, opinion polls record a drop in the ratings of not only national leader Vladimir Putin, who are traditional Russian strongholds, for example, the Russian Orthodox Church.

On February 19, Svetlana Peunova sent an appeal to President Putin in connection with the developments in eastern Ukraine.

To the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin

from the leader of the All-Russian political party "VOLYA" Svetlana Mikhailovna Peunova

Mr. President!

I believe that you and your circle are deliberately dragging Russia into the third world war and imposing on us a “new world order” that will destroy Russia, our people and most of humanity.

An analysis of the events shows that it was you who provoked the bloody hostilities in eastern Ukraine, and not the civil activists of this poor and unarmed country.

Before our eyes, the same spectacle of provocations that began both the first and second world wars is being played out.

If these cross-dressing performances of the secret services had been exposed in time, there would have been no world wars, ordinary people would not have died in the tens of millions for the interests of the bankers dividing the world's wealth among themselves.

Most of this wealth rightfully belongs to us - the indigenous peoples of Ukraine and Russia, who are being drawn into a bloody massacre by your actions.

After all, you know that the first checkpoints in eastern Ukraine were set up by retired FSB colonel Strelkov-Girkin, who illegally crossed the border with Ukraine.

All over Russia there is a massive recruitment of mercenaries - also obviously not without your knowledge.

Our military contractors, and according to some sources, conscripts, are going to fight in our brotherly country, causing legitimate indignation of Ukrainians who are defending their land.

Russian warriors have never been mercenaries or aggressors.

We, the peoples of Russia, are experiencing this shame precisely during your reign, Mr. President.

Who gave you the right to send our relatives to death?

You do not inform the country's public that Russian military personnel are being sent to a neighboring state.

Protecting the Russian-speaking population is an excuse.

It is obvious that there is a campaign to destroy the Ukrainian and Russian peoples.

How are you different from the Ukrainian president, who sends an army against the civilians of his country, uses the services of foreign mercenaries and announces a general mobilization of his citizens?

It is obvious to me and all the people that initially the civilians of Donbass who decided to become militias did not have heavy weapons, the skills to control them, the experience of armed seizure of buildings, the construction of fortified checkpoints, they are not able to kill in cold blood.

It is well known that the “militia” was initially led by citizens of the Russian Federation.

This was admitted, in particular, by the same Strelkov-Girkin.

We believe that without your assistance the situation would not have gone so far.

Maybe it was you who set them the task of starting and maintaining this war?

New facts are constantly emerging that support this conclusion. Thus, according to information from the RBC news agency, Russia finances a significant part of the militia’s needs; hryvnias unnecessary in what became Russian Crimea were delivered to the DPR (http://top.rbc.ru/politics/01/09/2014/946346.shtml ).

The army of Novorossiya is armed with hundreds of tanks, modern multiple launch rocket systems, and artillery that came from nowhere.

Their active use in battles requires hundreds of tons of fuel, lubricants, ammunition, and spare parts every day.

Over the entire period of fighting, the need for them is probably measured in tens of thousands of tons.

It is unrealistic that the “militia” could recapture all this from the Ukrainian army, without regular supplies from Russia.

Photos and videos of the latest Russian weapons and armored vehicles, which have never previously been officially supplied to Ukraine and are not in service with the Ukrainian Armed Forces, are often posted on the Internet.

These heavy weapons could obviously enter the combat zone only from Russia and with the knowledge of Russian government agencies.

Here are some examples:

During a video report by correspondent Graham Philipps from the battlefield in the area of ​​the “Debaltsevo cauldron”, the latest Russian T-72BZ tank, used by the “militia”, appeared in the frame (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkbVnpEbVwY). Deliveries of these tanks to the Russian army began only in 2012;

TV channels (including the Rossiya 24 channel) showed a story about the exercises of the “militia” at the LPR training ground. BPM-97 armored vehicles (KAMAZ-43269 “Vystrel”), which are in service in Russia and have never been supplied to Ukraine, took part in the exercises . (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=twlrxSuzIcc#t=36)

According to the “Committee of Soldiers' Mothers” of St. Petersburg, in various regions of Russia, conscript soldiers are being forced to sign contracts, apparently in order to send new “vacationers” to the war in Ukraine.

Can all this really happen without your knowledge and your instructions?

I believe that your actions too often directly contradict the interests and security of Russia, and it is primarily foreign states and international oligarchs who benefit from them.

During your reign, the Russian army has been reduced, disarmed and demoralized, the army's property has been largely sold off and stolen.

The systematic destruction of ammunition depots continues.

As commander in chief, you are directly responsible for this.

During the years of your reign, a catastrophically large number of ammunition depots were blown up, and more than 6 million tons of ammunition have been destroyed as planned since 2010!

I consider the transit of aggressive armies of NATO countries through our territory to be a betrayal of the interests of the people of Russia.

Many Russian citizens are unaware that, under agreements concluded during your reign with the United States, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Sweden, foreign weapons, military equipment, military equipment and NATO military personnel with weapons and equipment are transported through our country visa-free and duty-free.

Thus, the US military alone is allowed to make up to 4,500 flights per year in each direction over our territory! Moreover, the Russian leadership transferred the costs of air navigation services for American transit to the Russian budget. In 2012 alone, 190 million rubles were allocated for these purposes. And even anti-Russian sanctions and military actions in Ukraine did not force you to break the agreement on NATO travel through Russian soil.

This is open cooperation with a potential enemy, not ostentatious hostility!

In a country with the largest farmland, agriculture and domestic food production have been destroyed, and dependence on imported products has been artificially created. This, in the context of anti-Russian sanctions, led to the threat of famine in the country.

Under your rule, industry also degraded, and Russia's colonial dependence on the sale of raw materials to the West was created.

Small and medium-sized businesses in Russia have been practically destroyed.

An unrealistically expensive Winter Olympics was held in subtropical Sochi, the country's budget is wasted on the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Russian citizens may be left without pensions at all - the government is giving them... to the oligarchs!

I believe that in such a situation, your continued stay in power becomes dangerous for Russia and its people.

You say one thing, but do something completely different.

You declare that you are becoming independent from America and Western capital, but you yourself are drawing Russia into obvious dependence on them.

The agreement you signed in 2007 states that Russia undertakes to act as “if it were a member of the NATO bloc”!

Have you asked Russian citizens if they want this?

You hastily dragged Russia into WTO membership - and its charter is placed above the laws of Russia. Another step into colonial dependence.

The Bank of Russia is obviously not a state structure, and you carefully hide the name of its owner - obviously a private person, most likely a foreigner, American or Englishman.

This is not the “Bank of Russia”, as you deceptively call it, but in fact a “branch” of the IMF - a structure that kills the sovereignty of states.

And Sberbank (50% + 1 share) belongs not to the state, but to the Central Bank - that is, to a private person?

Thus, secretly from the people, we became the complete property of the West, because America writes the laws for us, as Deputy Fedorov claims.

And these laws are openly repressive, eliminating the indigenous people of Russia from the world, like the aborigines of Australia and the Indians of America - your masters have a rich experience in getting rid of the indigenous people.

The people are indoctrinated with the idea that you have nothing to do with it and that bad officials are to blame.

But you, Mr. President, in our country have practically unlimited, essentially “imperial” powers in relation to any of the branches of government.

It is you who have the right at any time to remove from office any presumptuous official, remove an incompetent Government, dissolve the State Duma, dismiss any judge or prosecutor.

Maybe it's you?

After all, you were Yeltsin’s successor, whom former British intelligence officer John Coleman, in his revealing book “The Committee of 300,” ranked as an agent of the British intelligence service MI6.

At the same time, Yeltsin came to undivided power as a result of the bloody anti-Russian “Maidan” in 1993 with the assistance of foreign intelligence services.

Appointments to key positions under Yeltsin were managed by staff members of the CIA, who, according to eyewitnesses, occupied an entire floor in the Federal Property Management Agency.

You have publicly admitted this.

I don't believe that you are the same Putin who became president of Russia in 2000.

In the last few years, the president’s appearance has changed so much that it became clear to the naked eye that on behalf of Putin V.V. different people perform.

Both domestic and world media are already talking about this.

The same means that state structures are ready to use against the people, the people demand to be applied first of all to the person (or several persons) speaking on behalf of the president.

I'm talking about checking your biometric data.

The country's population has the right to get answers to their questions: is Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin alive?

After all, since 2004, we obviously have not seen the person we were called President Putin.

Who really runs our country?

It is possible that under the guise of Putin, his doubles, that is, Western intelligence agencies, rule. The practice of using doubles is widely known in history, because Yeltsin’s reign was clearly ended by a double, as we learned.

Your actions and your appearance make us believe that there has been a seizure of power in the country by the enemies of our country.

After all, it is obvious that Anglo-American bankers directly benefit from your actions. And 95% of all large Russian businesses are already in foreign jurisdiction.

Citizen President!

I express no confidence in you, your entourage, as well as the rulers of Ukraine, the United States and the leading countries of the European Union, whose actions are helping to fan the global crisis and the fire of the third world war.

I believe that both Poroshenko and you are playing on the international stage the roles that America wrote for you, your attacks against each other are a performance.

I demand a real cessation of hostilities in Ukraine and the withdrawal of all mercenaries, military specialists, and weapons from the territory of Ukraine, both pro-Russian and pro-Western.

I believe that in the current situation it is urgently necessary to initiate an investigation into the fact of changes in Putin’s appearance with the involvement of specialists and experts from various fields: criminologists, geneticists, specialists performing photographic examinations, plastic surgeons, customs and airport employees, voice recognition specialists, as well as with the involvement of people who knew V.V. Putin well and members of his family.

I believe that you have changed the election legislation for one purpose: to prevent representatives of the indigenous people, people from the broad masses, from participating in elections.

I demand your resignation as someone who has not lived up to the trust of the people.

The people will be able to choose from their ranks openly, and not secretly, honest and educated representatives who work for the common good, without secret agreements and appropriation of the nation's wealth.

Without respect to you, Svetlana Peunova – Lada Rus

Down with the fascist junta!

The main war criminals to be tried by a military tribunal!

We demand to stop the unconstitutional and illegal activities of terrorists and extremists of the criminal community!

The collapse of Russia is inevitable, the country now looks like a territory in the center of which, in Moscow, there is a keg of gunpowder, and around, in the regions, fires are burning.

The collapse of Russia (a fascist state recognized by the Verkhovna Rada as an aggressor country on January 27, 2015) is inevitable, the country now looks like a territory in the center of which, in Moscow, there is a barrel of gunpowder, and around, in the regions, fires are burning. One spark and everything will explode, Russian oppositionist, deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation in 1995-2000, chairman of the Western Choice party, entrepreneur and businessman Konstantin Borovoy said in today’s interview with GORDON.

It is noteworthy that a similar forecast - about the impending collapse of Russia through the efforts of Putin - was also announced today by another famous Russian politician, Grigory Yavlinnyaki.

Borovoy has expressed similar thoughts before. In particular, in June of this year hepointed out that in Russia everything is heading towards a repeat of the tragedy of 1917. Muammar Gaddafi scenario is approaching, warned then politician.

By the way, in March of this year, Borovoy expressed completely fair assessments regarding Ukraine. He thenwrote that the current government in Ukraine is no different from the previous one, and therefore a third Maidan is needed.

A recent sociological survey by the Levada Center showed that 62% of respondents are confident that the State Duma elections were rigged in favor of United Russia. Experts commented to the correspondent on the attitude of the people towards the authorities.

IA REX: Can such a state of public consciousness lead to a change in today's government?

Political scientist, first vice-president of the Center for Strategic Development Modeling Grigory Trofimchuk:

Power is not liked everywhere, at all times. For very short historical intervals, the people suddenly awaken to an abnormal love for her, almost immediately, without a pause, turning into fierce hatred. The last time people in Russia loved the power personified by Yeltsin was in 1990-1991, how it ended is known. Subsequent leaders of the country, who did not give Yeltsin an objective historical assessment, automatically joined the ranks of his supporters, which determines the position of the population.

Dislike for power may well lead to its change, but this applies only to those peoples in which there is a so-called passionarity, indicating that the life of a given people on earth is far from over. As for Russia, the most terrible, classic time of decay and vacillation is considered to be the beginning of the 17th century, the Time of Troubles, which was overcome. But this time was much less troubled than what 1985 provoked. The “perestroikas” and “accelerations” launched then have not ended today, they simply took on different names and mutated. Reforms, reforms, reforms... - all this endless vocabulary has been in circulation for almost 30 years, but there is no end in sight to the “improvement”.

And if the current period of social disarray has already lasted twice as long as the Time of Troubles, with the population’s progressive apathy (“hate” on Internet forums is simply ridiculous to take into account), then experts have the right to raise the question: is this not the end of Russian civilization in principle? and that is why she lost the ability to resist?

Hatred is a powerful emotional feeling, which, according to Vysotsky, certainly “lives next to love.” Everything else is everyday ranting in the kitchen, which does not pose a danger to the current government. Mainly the liberal part of society, which believes that protests, the rise of the so-called “hatred” will again allow her to get into the Kremlin “boat”. There is no need for illusions: first of all, this heavy longboat will cover the liberals themselves.

Political constructor Yuri Yuryev:

A moral revolution is already underway, but a bloody revolution is not expected. The state of public consciousness: “protest” can only lead to a forced improvement in the work of power, and not to its revolutionary change. Anyone interested in politics has the opportunity to compare the state of Russia with the state of the CIS countries. For example, Ukraine, which “Maidanized” against “swindlers and thieves” and ended up with even more fraud and theft, and is rapidly degrading, losing science, culture, profitability and even territories, starting with the cession of the shelf to Romania. The Baltic states were so looking for money that they sold land, but they are already lagging behind Russia in that same money. Belarus is good socially, but unstable in terms of capital. It’s generally difficult to say anything good about the other republics of the USSR, in comparison with Russia. Thus, “revolutions” cause even greater rejection than Russian difficulties, if you take the trouble to remember examples of previously equal and even fraternal republics.

In general, “popular” politics in Russia is not revolutionary-destructive, like a century ago, no one will support the thesis: “We will destroy the whole world of violence to the ground, and then ...”, and no one is ready for the classic revolutionary “the worse - so much the better” with subsequent massacres, wars, epidemics, famines, and interventions. All protests are not “cardinal”, but rather “local”, “sectoral”, “ethical”, “ethnic”, and with proper government work - they can be resolved. In Russia there is a truly fair and truly people's court - a jury. If we expand its effect to events that cause the strongest protests, then in the end it may turn out that the government does not need to be changed, but that anti-national phenomena need to be condemned not only in words, but in accordance with the law. And those who are especially dissatisfied need to master such a civil status as “plaintiff” and be a concrete plaintiff, and not an abstract scribe. By the way, the plaintiff, unlike the scribe, can be a collective one, and the more plaintiffs in the case, the higher the public outcry.

Let's assume the worst - the emergence of a genius for revolutions. Here Ulyanov with pseudo Lenin was a de facto revolutionary genius and is recognized worldwide. But the preparation of the party took about 30 years, and the proletarian revolution would have been impossible if it had not been preceded by a bourgeois revolution that displaced the monarchy. And then what happened to the bourgeoisie, officers, and clergy? Accordingly, any genius of revolutions will think three times whether to make a coup, suddenly an even more terrible genius of revolutions will appear behind him and put him against the wall with his entire family and relatives. The same is true for any “renunciations.” Any coup smells like death and is not needed by the people.

Are there geniuses of party, business and state building? Is there a figure in the public consciousness who can replace Putin? Is it really Kasyanov? Or Prokhorov, who first promised one design for the e-mobile, then abruptly changed its appearance, and this is not to mention his ability to actually manage even the Right Cause party? Or will society still remember what it was like in the 90s “before Putin” and what it was like in the 21st century, “with Putin”? Nowadays such figures are not visible, which means that society has no one to risk everything for. But one can express hatred and contempt for Medvedev without risking shaking the state with excessive revolutionism.

However, Putin managed to lead revolutionism, just look at the two key words “popular front” and see the difference from the two words “representative power”.

Coordinator of the international expert group Sergey Sibiryakov summarized the results of the discussion:

A peaceful solution to the problem of alienation of power from society is possible if the post-Soviet elite turns from solving its own problems to solving the problems of society. There are difficulties along the way. People need to articulate their problems more firmly, including through protests like the one at Manezhka.

Unfortunately, otherwise problems in their resolution depend on mentality. Mentality is associated with ethnic and cultural archetypes, which, unlike the basic Jungian archetypes, are subject to change, including under the influence of competent public policy. In the book of the expert IA REX Pavel Krupkina“Russia and Modernity: Problems of Combination: Experience of Rational Understanding” well describes the behavior and psychology of the Russian elite. Raising the question that it is the existing system of elites with the antisocial patterns of thinking and behavior that predominate in it, and not the “wrong people” and not the “century-old backwardness” that act as a catalyst for the decomposition of the moral foundations of the rest of society, is more relevant than ever throughout the post-Soviet space.

Will the antisocial elite itself mature enough to understand the need for reforms, or should it be forced to do so? According to the author, “the elite has always been moved by the risk of losing to another elite. There is such a universal global driver of progress. In this regard, it has already become noticeable in Russia that our top team is concerned about its reputation among its peers from other countries. Suddenly it turned out that to be on an equal footing “there”, simply “grabbing” billions, alas, is not enough. When turbines begin to fly instead of rockets, and the buzz of “rumblings” in Munich suddenly cools down with the question: “Well, what are you squeaking here, louse?”, then all you have to do is either wipe yourself off and wait until you are “posted” to The Hague, or, after all, start “twitching”, and try to do something significant, what is “there” is considered. This is how our people in Russia, in the end, were forced to start “moving”,” says Pavel Krupkin. I will add that the latest events with the NATO attack on Libya should accelerate the process of maturation and “movement” of the Russian elite.
