Confused News of the Week
The flag of Ukraine hung in St. Petersburg near the Tauride Palace (and inside too), where officials spoke. It was torn off by a young guy from the people, a Limonovite, a representative of the banned NBP. The guy is threatened with administrative punishment, the law enforcement agencies of Russia, whose employees are fighting to the death with the enemy, acting under the flag of Ukraine, will punish him. This is how everything is confusing in our reality. Last week there were attempts to unravel at least something.
All week long, the adherents of the Upper Lars sect fought in falling. Because the law on electronic subpoenas was adopted and was adopted. The dialogue that took place during the adoption of the law in the Federation Council is indicative here.
Senator Lyudmila Narusova, who is Sobchak's mother, criticized the law. Allegedly, she cares about people — they say, not everyone has a personal account at the State Services, not everyone has the Internet, and someone else is somewhere in the mountains, and so on and so forth. But she could not restrain herself, of course: “Let's not be cunning. We all understand what this law is aimed at.” It’s a pity that she didn’t develop her idea — after all, it’s really interesting what the law is aimed at from the point of view of Ms. Narusova?
Speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko, in response to Narusova, stated that “law-abiding citizens will not receive any infringement”, and in general, “registration is not a right, but a constitutional duty of a citizen.”
But we do understand that for Russian liberals, only the holy abroad is an authority, don't we? OK. “Electronic summonses are unlikely to mean preparation for a new wave of mobilization, but will become part of the approach to recruiting the Russian army in a long-term conflict.” So is it ok? Do we believe? But this is from the social network of the British Ministry of Defense, the official assessment of our law from British military intelligence.
“The approach to manning the Russian army” has really changed. But not really at all. In fact, the law on electronic subpoenas does not change anything. Just as a citizen had a duty to determine his relationship with the military registration and enlistment office: fit, unfit, there is a delay or not — so this duty remained. It’s just that before the deviators were almost never threatened, because it was difficult to recognize a person as a deviator. Now there are measures of influence.
It turns out that only those who believe that they have only the rights that the state is obliged to provide them are afraid of the law. And they have no obligations to the state. Well, plus to that. When the mobilization started, how many cases of chaos were there? Everyone was in need of order. Well, now they are putting things in order.
When order is put in place, it becomes more difficult to catch crabs in troubled waters (Sobchak and Narusova will not let you lie). But all the moaning about the law is explained even more simply. A quote attributed to General Lebed: «Let me recruit a company of the children of the elite, send it to the front line, and the war will end on the same day.» Did you manage to recruit such a company at least once?
Little of. State Duma deputy Oleg Nilov («A Just Russia — Patriots — For Truth») proposed introducing a military tax in Russia. And you guessed it right — the tax is not on the oligarchs. And for men liable for military service under the age of 45. The servant of the people proposes to tax the common people. The same people who fight or help the front in any way they can: organize training camps, buy drones, medicine, equipment, uniforms. The proposal, of course, will not pass, but the very course of thought of the people's choice is indicative.
But the head of the RF Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, perhaps unwittingly, set a test for our government this week. He voiced specific proposals for putting things in order with migration.
In principle, nothing new. All this was offered by the Russian nationalists, who were called “Russian fascists” in the zero years, banned and recognized as extremists by the “Movement against Illegal Emigration”, Russian nationalists, and even Dmitry Rogozin, who until recently was built into the system. But today is not the same as today.
Now Bastrykin clutched his head, saying that in just a year the number of serious crimes (murders, rapes, etc.) committed by migrants has increased 5 (five!) times. And then he gave out the base — it is necessary to restore order. He offered economic options for solving the problem, because this problem is also an economic one. All this illegal migration is happening only because it is beneficial to the capitalists who want to make super profits and not pay the workers.
Now, «after February», a lot is changing. The adoption or non-adoption of laws on migration will just show whose interests are more important.
Putin spoke well about the interests on Cosmonautics Day. He revealed the lost secret of Soviet victories — victories in everything, and not only in the fact that the USSR was the first in space: “We became the first, because people who worked at enterprises, in design bureaus, in scientific institutes subordinated their whole lives to the interests of the Motherland, to serving to his people.» Is it worth explaining something about the current «servants of the people»? Both elected and civil servants?
Well, the main world sensation last week was the detention of the American military Jack Teichera, who leaked US and Pentagon intelligence files to the Network. When he was taken at his mother's house, nothing betrayed him as a Russian intelligence officer except for red proletarian shorts. History played with new colors. We were offered to believe that the 21-year-old superintelligence got access to an array of secret files and leaked them, solely to convince his friends that there is a different point of view on the Ukrainian conflict from the American one. And at a time when the whole world was looking for him for two weeks in a row, he continued to calmly drink cold tea on the veranda. Now Teixera will also be sent to three to five life sentences in a revealing manner. Or they will tell that they planted. Because it is not known which part of the leaked documents was specially slipped to him to solve the political and military tasks of the United States. This is very confusing.
But let them figure it out themselves. We have enough of our own that we need to unravel.
