Discrediting the Communist Party. What is wrong with modern communists?
July St. Petersburg 24 held a rally called "Against arbitrariness in the elections in St. Petersburg" (meaning elections of the governor and municipal deputies of St. Petersburg 8 September 2019 of the year). The rally united more than ten different organizations. Specific citizens from the ranks of professional oppositionists were present there, including Maxim Reznik, who recently broke out on the topic of narcotic drugs. In the crowd, flags of such pro-Western parties as “Yabloko”, “Growth Party”, as well as many rags of various liberal movements, traditionally swarming around Navalny or Yashin, were waving.
And now the red flags of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation flew over the heads of this public, and the leader of the “communists” in that event was not anyone, but Vladimir Bortko himself. The participation of the patriotic party in such an action already raises questions of political cleanliness. But the situation was aggravated by a group of thugs who were waving flags ... of Ukraine and the European Union. And, of course, the agreed rally "for fair elections" could not keep within the framework of this topic. There were even appeals in support of citizen Sobol, which has nothing to do with St. Petersburg and conducts its “struggle” in Moscow. As a result, the forces that brought out the representatives of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, just played the extras for the pro-Western opposition. Total police counted 2200 participants.
Gandalf the Red to the rescue
It would seem an isolated case. Just a set of political blunders - a naive hope for the decency of pro-Western colleagues, multiplied by the obligatory presence of provocateurs in such crowds, which even experienced organizations in politics do not want to filter. However, this case is just a link in a whole chain of blatantly provocative blunders that raise new questions.
So, in the same St. Petersburg citizen Emma Ryman is running for municipal deputies from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. Before rushing into politics, although the responsibilities of the Mundeps are unusually far from the loud slogans put forward by the candidates, Emma took place as a parapsychologist, psychic, esoteric and participant in the Black White show.
According to the Daily Storm online publication, citizen Ryman, besides her specific “professional” activity, has a number of other merits to society, which she longs to do good. Before becoming a member of the Communist Party, Emma was a member of the Yabloko party for a year. And Ryman left this party not because of ideological disagreements or because of the declared program, but because she couldn’t find a common language with Maxim Katz (another fighter “for ours and yours”), suspecting the latter of corruption.
In a personal interview with the Daily Storm, the newly-minted Communist revealed even more, covering voters with a portion of suspicion of the party filters and the principles of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. So, when asked why, in slogans, Emma brought out the phrase “magic of red”, she replied:
Regarding her belief in magic, Ryman answered the following:
No, the author is not a prude or a snob. He loves abandoned objects with a strong energy, which, however, is expressed in goose bumps running along the back, and clambered almost all the dolmens of the Black Sea coast, even met the dawn on the top of the Nexus mountain (Gelendzhik) near the ancient dolmen complex. But in the political struggle it is important not only to defend their views, but also to take a pragmatic approach to winning the votes themselves, and the existence of a “battle mage” is a dubious idea.
Shaman warrior goes to overthrow Putin
But Emma Ryman is not alone in the cage of the opposition, attracting supernatural forces to the political struggle. Already that month a resident of Yakutia Alexander Gabyshev is marching along the roads of Russia with unhurried pace. Citizen Gabyshev himself calls himself a warrior-shaman. The purpose of his journey in Soviet times would be interested perhaps in the employees of a psychiatric hospital. This is what Alexander himself claims:
Alexander can be met on the tracks of our vast Motherland harnessed to a wagon, on which he carries his simple belongings. Coming out of Yakutia in the spring, he makes 20 km per day and goes to bed in a tent at sunset.
Of course, such an act instantly attracted oppositionists of all stripes. And if for the pro-Western liberal wing, in the order of things, to identify with marginal citizens like the pseudo-artist Petit Pavlensky, who recently left the French psychiatric clinic, the appearance of a representative of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation in the way of a shaman-warrior was clearly not expected.
On the approach of Alexander to Chita, he was first met by a candidate for the city duma from the Communist Party, the namesake Alexander Zhdanov. The communist not only greeted the shaman-warrior, but also harnessed himself in his carriage, explaining this act in the following words:
If we take into account the contents of the cart, then we must admit: Zhdanov left us a little for the foundation of the future. All of this quickly spread around the global network as early as July 8 of this year, and as early as July 12 of this year local members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation agreed to hold a rally. Thus, comrades from Moscow had four days to get in touch with the local branch and coordinate the overly zealous impulses of their party members to gain popularity and recognition.
However, no one to chit the Chita communists did not. And on July 12, a rally under the slogans “Russia without Putin”, “Beggars are a disgrace of the government” and “We will revive people's courts” was held in the capital of the Trans-Baikal Territory. The highlight of the program was the shaman-warrior Alexander, who pushed the speech in his own way of self-exclusion. I don’t see the point literally as this because the network is replete with videos of this speaker. Alexander graduated simply: "From now on, you will not decree - live free!"
Attraction of shamans-warriors and red magicians to the political struggle is nonsense in itself, but let me remind you that this party does, representatives of the Sverdlovsk branch of which opposed the construction of the cathedral in Yekaterinburg only in May, standing on anti-clerical positions. Those. Shamans and magicians - this is acceptable, but Orthodoxy - no?
A natural question arises: what happens inside the CPRF? Is this malicious discrediting of a party that for almost 30 years has been a powerful competitor to all its opponents - from the ruling circles to the systemic opposition? The collapse of the natural ideological party filters? Losing the mechanism of managing your own branches in a fit of a game of democracy? Or a keen desire to rejuvenate the party at any cost, despite the attracted cadres? One way or another, but this figure of Russian political chess is losing strength in the most destructive way - from within. This can not but grieve, because in Russia there are practically no strong parties with a powerful ideological platform that are in the ranks of a systemic adequate opposition that does not allow the party in power to rest on its laurels.
