Towards a nascent wave of nano-riots in Russia: what to do with themMini protest as a new form of expression of discontent

In Novokhopyorsk, Voronezh Region, a local eco-revolt of opponents of the construction of a nickel mining plant soon after half a year paralyzed the work of industrialists and created a huge headache for local authorities.

In Baikalsk, a long-term eco-riot led to the elimination of large-scale production.

The eco-riot in Ulyanovsk, which had just appeared against the park development, irritated the authorities and paralyzed the work of the developers, provoking legal proceedings.

These are only the loudest examples of this year. Smaller examples across the country is much more easy or they have not yet reached the high level of discussion, or have caused their problems have been resolved.

There are several signs that unite these protests and allow us to talk about the emerging trend.

Topicality

The urgency of the problems underlying the eco-riots, a casual observer in doubt. Not because there is no need to protect the trees and rivers, but because these problems coexist with much more acute, but for some reason not provoking riots questions.

For example, yesterday rallies and pickets were held across the country, timed to coincide with World Trade Union Action Day. I am sure that the majority of readers have heard nothing about them and the point here is not in the “media conspiracy”. Simply, these events are so faded, toothless and formal that they can not ignite any sparks lively interest. Meanwhile, their slogans are more than serious - from demands to raise wages, to stop the growth of utility tariffs to change the course of government economic policy.

Only on the faces of the poster bearers one can see that none of them are right now ready to rush under the bulldozer for the sake of the resignation of the cabinet of ministers - dull, mostly indifferent faces of the current members of trade unions.

But in the light of the emerging socio-economic situation in the country and the recent revelations of Dmitry Medvedev, the problems of an ordinary worker become not relevant, but super-actual. Protection of wildlife parts, no matter how important or seemed today to compete with them in actuality is simply incapable. However, it collects much more enthusiasts and sympathizers. We note this fact and move on to the next unifying feature.

Clarity of requirements and political integrity

The conciseness and clarity of the requirements of each eco-rebellion compares favorably with the former slogans of the Swamp. "Hands off the tree" clearer and closer to the common man, than, for example, "# banduputenapodsud". Apolitical requirements allows gain even greater public support and even to unite under one banner supporters of various political currents. The above examples vividly confirm the ability of left, right, nationalists, ecologists, Cossacks, minorities, etc., to live very well in the framework of solving a common task.

This, in turn, causes approval from neutral observers, who, seeing such unanimity, go into the category of virtual supporters of local riots (by the way, this is another sign - a positive perception of eco-protest of geographically distant observers) .

Lack of sponsors

The excessive zeal of the American ambassador to Russia and a number of US-sponsored NGOs in support of the “swamp” protest ultimately discredited him in the eyes of a significant number of citizens of our country. Local riots compare favorably with the lack of clear sponsors, which strengthens the confidence of ordinary citizens and gives the character the truth of “nationality”.

Efficiency

The ratio of "the effort / result" eco-rebellions far more effective than all the "march of millions" combined. Under the influence of a handful of activists, without injections into media support, it is possible to push through local solutions - to prohibit building, to eliminate production, to stop the development of subsoil. Maximum results with minimum investment.

From easy to hard and back

Let us recall here that "marsh" rebellion had been born from the local environmental Khimki protest. However, he soon lost all contact with him, was overgrown with contradictions, swelled into something unviable and, loudly firing steam, was blown away. Now we are witnessing a rollback to the initial positions and, as it seems, an attempt to evolve along a more natural path.

Note that you should not look for the shadow of the mysterious director behind these systemic processes. Directors appear after, when they begin to clearly see their vested interest in spontaneous movements. In our case, we are witnessing a natural search for a new form of expression of protest moods of our fellow citizens. Why is it pouring into an eco-riot?

The struggle under the common slogans "against the government" and "for a better life" turned into nothing before our eyes and gave birth to great disappointment among its ordinary participants. It's frustrating when preserved protest dust pushes disgruntled at the performances of more mundane and specific issues. Those that have the prospect of a quick resolution. Why do people need it?

Without going into a lengthy argument, let's agree that the basis for the modern Russian protest is the thirst of the participants to be heard by the authorities. This is not a revolt of hard-working hard-working or deprived pensioners (although there are such people, but we are talking about a mass phenomenon), it’s for the time being just the desire to get the smallest bit of power and through it to assert ourselves a little. Quite natural, by the way, desire.

And according to this desire, the inglorious ending of "Bolotnaya" dealt a monstrous blow. A painful blow to the public who wants to assert itself through protest. Not only the one that stood in the metropolitan areas, but also in that which is sympathetic to her, clinging to the Internet or television. Moving away from the first shock, people began, perhaps unconsciously, but to suspect that they were deceived by the heralds of protest, the very same directors who appeared at the right time. And people are now looking for a new form.

This form should differ from the previous one radically. It must be apolitical, it must be understandable, righteous and transparent in terms of sponsors. So that it was impossible to be deceived again.

But, perhaps, the main thing is that this form must be promising, promise a quick resolution of the problem, that is, give the opportunity to at least a little, but to heal the wounded self-esteem, to recover from the blow.

Eco-protest meets all these requirements. He is laconic, understandable to everyone, gives a sense of belonging to the right cause, enjoys the support of society and gives a chance for a quick victory. Why am I so sure that we are witnessing the emergence of a trend, and not separate, unrelated incidents? Because this is the nature of phenomena - they are always looking for the most stable states. Rebellion in defense of nature in today's realities is the most stable form of protest, giving way to negative emotions of citizens. A little more - and it will become really fashionable.

What do the authorities do

If our hypothesis is confirmed and the trend will gain stability, then we are waiting for an endless series of eco-protests in various parts of the country. Therefore, the authorities will have to react to them somehow.

While the domestic Russian eco-revolt is green and weak, the “directors” have not yet connected to it. In that it could lead over time - well illustrated by the recent attacks on Russia by the PR corporation "Greenpeace". There is no doubt that our nascent environmental protest, if it develops, will try to take it and where it should be sent. There are plenty of options - from sabotage production under the “green” slogans to harassment of individual politicians and simple incitement of hatred between various groups of our compatriots. For example, I think that the residents of Baikalsk who have remained without work have long been mind to talk heart to heart with some "eco-activists" whose efforts have closed the plant.

In order to prevent the formation of the anti-state pseudo-ecological lobby in the country, the authorities need to move now.

A good solution would be the systematic elimination of objective reasons for the discontent - those against whom today there is no mass protest. These are the very problems of rising tariffs, unemployment, prices, etc. You look, then eco-riots will not grow into a mass movement.

However, this does not negate the timely response to local mini-riots. They need to respond. People want to feel at least a little power - yes, please! If the activists managed to find real violations of the law on the ground, let them protest and seek a fair solution. This is the prevention of corruption, and the opportunity for people to feel involved in the life of their locality - what they so actively and often unknowingly want. Give them this opportunity, and there will be less dissatisfied with the central government. Intervene and demand explanations from the local authorities if the case takes a serious turn, but do not fall for provocations that will inevitably exist and will be.

In general, the worst solution for the authorities - is ignoring the local eco-flash, and start to miss the beginning of a wave of protest mutate. I would even advise more - the authorities should create an environmental movement on their own, which will analyze each conflict episode in detail, initiate field checks and protect ordinary, but sometimes naive people from attempts at unfriendly manipulations. It is much easier than trying to inculcate a political protest. Indeed, in this case, both in power and in the most diverse citizens of the country are common interests.

    The key problem is that local authorities will not help fight corruption (loss of their own dividends). And every time it’s impossible to knock to Moscow, we need real bodies that can conduct anti-corruption courses in the regions without bias. Neither the Ministry of Internal Affairs nor the Prosecutor's Office belong to them.

        Where not to look, all (!) Officials are brought to each other by friends, comrades, sobutyl-
        Nicknames, etc. Variants are possible !!! The question is: what did the country, RUSSIA, get during the years of the "reformers" rule? Prices from year to year only creep up. From year to year, housing and communal services tariffs, travel in transport, prices For fuel. The fields of the former collective and state farms are overgrown with grass and forest. The flooding in the Far East showed the complete incapacity of the local authorities to counteract the elements. For some reason, no one recalls the fact that under Soviet rule, dredging works were carried out on the rivers, they followed the river beds. The "reformers" let everything go on its own. There is no real sector of the economy in the country that would pull the entire economy of the country, would bring huge revenues to the treasury !!!

      These organs, as the personages of the well-known film would say, are to be torn off and thrown away! And if specifically, the system that is rotting must be changed !! And not gradually, but accelerated. I compare the state of the current system of government in the country with the state of a cancer patient. Cancer gives more and more metastases, and if surgical intervention is not urgently applied, the patient will die (the nation will turn into narcotic-alcoholic slaves and Russia will fall apart). Who will change it, I, you, he, she (as in a song) are patriots of their country. Just do not go on about the clowns "opposition". They have one common task - to work off the loot invested in them (they don't give a damn for the interests of the people!).

    The people are already tired of the general theft of the upper classes, an uncontrolled flow of dirty and sick Gaster and the indefatigable arrogance of officials, hence the rebellion, the Russian is terrible and merciless.
    The authorities found an excuse, just a few leaned out to classify the critics as bogies ... They care about the interests of Western companies, and the people are already tired of enduring, and "the Russians are slowly harnessing, but driving fast." How much can you mock and promise, and then put big and fat on your promises?
    Ecology is not in the first place in her speeches, it is just that Chirikova managed to promote herself and her “battle for the Khimki forest”. Greenpeace is not popular in Russian society, we do not have a Western mentality. The Russian people more often breaks through against the Caucasians, after they once again screw up somewhere and then these Caucasians, like cockroaches, hide in the cracks, while the people at their shops and stalls "play off steam."
    And all these handfuls of Jews who gather more journalists than themselves gathered in the hope of a grant to snatch this performance and nothing more. Riot is always spontaneous, unpredictable and terrible.
    By the way, what kind of Jew is in the photo?

      AHA, RZHUNIMAGU !!!
      In Novokhopyorsk, Voronezh Region, a local eco-rebellion by opponents of the construction of a nickel mining plant has already paralyzed the work of industrialists
      This wise guy was there ??? There is only one forest area. The joint of the Voronezh and Saratov regions. There are no agricultural enterprises or enterprises.
      and created a huge headache for the local authorities.
      This is also powerful !!! There, officials are promoting. I was driving through Voronezh hanging a pre-election poster of some local. Well, there is a photo, of course, a smart face, and in the corner the sign Ni (nickel) is crossed out.
      Chirikova managed to promote herself and her “battle for the Khimki forest”.

          But aren't you talking about the same bleached viscose cellulose, without which you cannot make fuel for solid-propellant rockets and make carbon fiber for the aviation and space industries? and without which the mace will not take off? The Omerekans did it easier - they built a plant on the shores of Lake Ontario, built a nuclear power plant for desalination and distillation of water and knocked bleached cellulose on a mountain, and waste into the swamps near one of the "great lakes" of Ontario is one of the dirtiest lakes in the United States, largely thanks to their pulp and paper mill. For some reason, one greenpeace doesn’t beep. It’s probably annoying to bite the hand of the giver.
          You will begin to think that the Omerians would begin to build nuclear power plants for distilling water if they had a lake like Baikal? ours also wanted to build the plant first on Lake Ladoga, the current composition of the water didn’t fit, and on Baikal, God himself ordered the water to be almost distilled, and pollution is a myth — when taking water samples several kilometers from the plant, an increased concentration of harmful substances was not detected, since the lake has a giant potential for self-purification, and the treatment facilities at this plant were BEST IN THE WORLD! Sworn friends can only grind their teeth and invent fables, looking so that no one remembers the log in the eye in the form of drains in the swamps of its own pulp and paper mill.
          P.S. This pulp makes two mills in the world-Russia and the United States.

        Have you noticed that all kinds of discontent, without exception, are ridden by the marsh and those who are behind it? Literally everything. as a result, they all pour out into the swamp event. Khmkinsky bacchanalia is a vivid example. And those who express dissatisfaction with this are not able to cope. They are unable to dissociate themselves from the marsh. Have you noticed that a significant part of the money injected into NGOs is related to environmental activities? Have you forgotten that in the USSR it also began with ecology? Look, the Balts, too, at first "hugged the sea", and how did they end? This is a common psychological warfare technology. And if people are not able to cope with the fact that they are being led by goats, then who are they themselves? If among the crowd of dissatisfied there will never be a protest against an orator who will begin to lead the protest against the real shoals of specific individuals into the gallows orangeism, then ... those who consider this organized system of minibiots to be the preparation of one big mess that Russia should bury, like the USSR did - right.

      While the domestic Russian eco-rebellion is green and weak, the "directors" have not yet had time to connect to it.

      A naive Orsk boy. Let him read the history of the green movement of the USSR and Russia - back in the 1980s, Nature Conservation Brigades (DOP) were massively formed in universities. And it was from them that the entire leadership of the environmental committees in the 1990s, WWF and Ginpis, "Keepers of the Rainbow" and many others grew up.
      DOPs, as public organizations, back in the USSR (!) Had their own weapons rooms, equipment, boats, police protection and much more. There was a whole system of work and training of vigilantes, and much more. Dopovtsy participated in the protection of reserves, green areas, they initiated the creation of some reserves. Sometimes they were killed, there were whole battles with poachers. But these were serious guys, not "swamp" hamsters.

      Naturally, in the course of perestroika, all politicians were looking for friendship with the DPPs, for at first this was the most organized and authoritative force. And today go to Greenpeace or WWF, say: "I was a Dopovite" - you will immediately become your own.

      And these people already had managers in the 1990s. The Khoperskaya story is the work of just one of the branches of "green management", which in 1995-1997 separated from the movement and went into the sphere of organizational structures.
      Another branch is the adherents of the anarchists, these are more of a riot.
      So the affector should study the problem, not fantasize. Theorist ...

      All our "independent" eco-colonies are included in the NGO financing scheme. And the fact that any reasonable or unfounded protest turns into something proves. that this is just one of the links in psychological warfare. unleashed against Russia. Consider Chirikova speaking to the US Senate, receiving grants - a typical environmentalist who has made a career.
      Those who are offended that they are ranked among the marsh ones should think about the answer to the question, so what the hell is any dissatisfied crowd right away the oversized speakers with swamp experience are immediately led to the orange rails? If they did not organize this crowd under specious slogans. If you are not able to control the actions of your leaders, there’s nothing to be offended if you are poked in the face of the results of your life activity, indicating what the goat-goers, leading the herd of barrranes, actually achieve.

    On the one hand, I am for the environment. For the purity of their native nature.
    On the other hand, I am against ecoLohovs, to whom this nature is not native, or even cousin. It is very jarring when ecoLoahs from the Netherlands advocate the purity of my nature.

    Ecology in the form in which it has been transformed today is not just pseudoscience, but the very "opium for the people."
    Any project for the construction of any shed provides for a crazy environmental section.
    Here I am restoring a monument-museum. For rabid grandmothers (BUDGET !!!) you need to order an environmental project, which will take into account the consumption of paints and solvents for the restoration of paintings, the amount of dust in the furniture restoration workshop ... I started to feel sick ...
    It is a pity that the water cannons on the platform are weak - we need to take fire safety more seriously, so that the next time the Greenpeace team would immediately brainwash. And they did not have to feed them in jail.

      On the other hand, there are no independent environmental organizations, and right before our eyes, there is a lawlessness of users of the land. Either some kind of rubbish will be poured into the lake, or acid aromas rush through the air.

        On the third hand, environmental organizations organized turned into a network - have a specific structure and receive significant funding from NGOs. It is an organized network. Most of whose employees are not aware of the meaning of the network, and their brains are not enough to think about what their activities actually lead to, and their political preferences, of course, are completely randomly liberalistic for everyone. Meetings and seminars are regularly held with Western colleagues. experience is being adopted from them ... the result is that any environmental discontent instantly gets a political coloring, a swamp. Any rally immediately turns into a coven with swamp slogans ... do you think this happens by accident? Accidentally Chirikov receives grants and is torn into power?

          Well, since we have this niche empty, of course real or fictional "networks" will creep into it. The state is doing everything to ensure that only the players under its control remain “on the field”. Therefore, even if it is an NGO, even if it is a "foreign agent" (which is very easy to control by the existing legislation), it is better than a void that leads to "patriotic" acid rain and the transformation of lakes into swamps.

            This niche was empty under the USSR. Then, too, they screamed about ecology, and sometimes justly, as now. But there was no network of organizations; it took its final shape already in the mid-90s. Do not build the illusion that the "agent of influence" can be controlled - it is even impossible to expose him. In this he is often more dangerous than a conscious agent. And do not tell tales about acid rains - after the destruction of the USSR industry, we have an ecological paradise. If you are such a zealous defender of nature, go to the normal long-established state environmental services or organize volunteer squads with them, plant a forest, clean it for free, monitor the environment and write angry papers to the relevant services, and if necessary, to the prosecutor's office (with due zeal- will help, believe me) ... but independent environmentalists get into politics ... why do you think?

              This is how things happened under the USSR that even before China faded. Moreover, it is completely irresponsible (it is enough to recall the Kyshtym tragedy), since "the Motherland needed", "the situation was tense," etc. Now the situation has worsened - people are making money, and do not care what the consequences. Therefore, "ecological paradise", this is by the 90s, when everything stopped. And I'm not talking about fictional situations, but about what I have personally encountered. There is a chemical stench in the air "If you don't want problems at work, cover the window tightly." Does the water stink? "Buy bottled water, it's high time. Nothing can be done about it."

              I’m not some kind of ecologist and I don’t want to connect my life with this type of activity. Exactly as much as advocating for road safety, but I do not want to become a traffic cop. It’s enough that I don’t throw garbage past the ballot box, I don’t break the rules of the road.

              Why are environmentalists striving for power? Why shouldn't they rush to power? Even if they are not agents of influence, but quite law-abiding Russians. Can't they? Only holy unmercenaries should protect the environment? Put any field on an "amateur" basis and you get low efficiency. Or the crowd.

                Here, I say, what is happening in China cannot be compared with anything else. except with that. what is happening in the United States in the areas of shale gas production. We were much happier, but you got the necessary stereotypes. which is worse. than we had nowhere else ...... you will still sing the song of dystrophic boys - "there is no other world" ... :))) But, of course, there were problems. The discontent of the people was instantly directed into a political channel ... to chew on, or do you think it yourself?
                And I myself came across water, from the Soviet times periodically into the Belaya River. that phenol is discharged in Ufa ... So once I came and saw blue water from a tap .... water was supplied by water carriers.

                You yourself said perfectly well, all these non-governmental organizations are non-professionals on an amateur basis, professionals work in the relevant services, and do not gather meetings. As for the unmercenaries, that's the point of the public "ecologists" who declare themselves as such ...
                You gave a good example about traffic safety. Can you imagine a rally with the slogan "Down", advocating for the safety of DD? And, meanwhile, this is the same as an environmental meeting. Literally. Think, and on the basis of your own example, you can understand all the absurdity and ineffectiveness of their actions ... in the area that they claim to be the main one - the protection of nature. After all, you absolutely must be professionals.
                And why do not I like the fact that spontaneous environmental protestants climb into power? For one simple reason - they are all (if I'm not right, give a reverse example, at least one) are marsh, a vivid example of Chirikov. They use all ecological slogans only to creep to the feeding trough. Most of the problems they raised prove to be a false, provocative fabrication. That is, they are even more hypocritical and dishonest than the power that they all, as if on a conductor’s stick, criticize together ...

                  Here I completely agree with you. Which of Chirikova is an ecologist, if she writes the word x .... on a fence with three mistakes? This is not an ecologist, this is ... (I do not want to run into warnings from administrators).

                  An ecologist is a person who understands that building a road through the Khimki forest will bring great benefits to ecology. For the Khimki forest from an environmental point of view has extremely sentimental value, and the flow of vehicles causes such harm to the city’s ecology that they need to be unloaded at any cost.

                  I do not want to argue about where it was worse. I have not been to the United States at shale mines, and in China too. Maybe everything is terrible there, or maybe it’s not so important. Let Greenpeace or any other environmental organizations worry about it. I am more interested in the trend within Russia, and it has recently been negative. NGOs are leaving, they are being squeezed out, the state "blind pros" and no less perspicacious full-time "ecologists" from chemical plants remain.

                  You yourself said perfectly well, all these non-governmental organizations are non-professionals on an amateur basis, professionals work in the relevant services, and do not gather meetings. As for the unmercenaries, that's the point of the public "ecologists" who declare themselves as such ...

                  So the trouble is that in our country NGOs are turning from professionals (that is, places where people build careers and get money) who can be promoted along non-governmental lines, into notorious outcasts. We don’t want to pay money, let someone else pay it. But “crawling” into power with the democratic structure of the state is the norm.

      In this I agree. Just add, and greenpeace and our home-grown fighters for the environment are fulfilling someone's specific order (economic or political). Why Greenpeace has become more active in the Arctic right now, because it is necessary to prevent Russia from strengthening its positions in this region, then it will be too late. they were given the command-face. As for our "independent environmentalists" (we are fashionable, everyone is independent. Only from whom and why they themselves do not know), so I am sure that this command was given to strengthen the "opposition leaders" (as they appointed themselves) and actively work out with their crowd grants from "uncle sam". I compared, for myself, these lousy opposition leaders with Hitler at the beginning of his political path - bugs and clowns.

    Any social struggle must be waged within the framework of laws, which regulate relationships, protesters and the state. And if these laws are violated, this is called lawlessness, literary rebellion, revolution. We are fed up with revolutions. So, I completely agree with the actions of the authorities (border guards) to curb foreign Protestants on the oil platform. The protest movement in the country will be. The people have every right to protests. Moreover, there are plenty of reasons for this: corruption of the authorities, nepotism, overwhelming bureaucracy, etc. Only if he will be "patronized" by Western "well-wishers", we do not need such protests.

It is an assertive and clearly planned outrage, which is dominated by the marsh and is now organized by experts in the Orange Revolution. And you won’t get anywhere from this.
        Look, when Anal and his company appear at any rally of dissatisfied, albeit theoretically not marshy ... what happens? Does someone angrily send them nafing?
        Nothing of the sort, the crowd ALWAYS cheers them happily. So, there is no need to be offended here, that people like you are called swamp - this is a fact. The disaffected crowd is a herd of potential swamp supporters. Because the crowd is always a mindless bunch, ready to listen only to the cries of "Down with", it does not hear anything else, even if it will consist entirely of intellectuals.
        By the way, the opposition is critical of the people who criticize our power, and they differ from the authorities only in that. which is more deceitful and worthless, the rest is one to one.
        And with your clearly planned (and artificially excited) organized discontent poured into rebellion, you will not achieve the revival of the nation and the state - you will repeat the collapse of the USSR on a Russian scale. destroy the state and finally finish off the nation ... Your statement about a clear ideology sounds especially mockingly stupid ... what the hell is a single ideology? About what the fuck bastard? (I hope. Remember the joke) :)))
        A single ideology of liberals, fascists and homosexuals? Ponder your own words. You look at the opposition. What is one in it? The only slogan is Down !. All. Nobody thinks about the future, all do not care, the main thing is to seize power. The only normal opposition is the communists. But they will never be able to unite the opposition under their own banner - interests that are too opposed, and for other reasons that I will not dwell on - there is no time ..

This is a matter of principle. since you are going to change it with the help of the discontent of the people, whose natural discontent is warmed up from the outside by the lies of our opposition, which organize the discontented and lead them.

    “In Novokhopyorsk, Voronezh Oblast, a local eco-revolt by opponents of the construction of a nickel mining plant has already paralyzed the work of industrialists for half a year and created a huge headache for local authorities.

    In Baikalsk, a long-term eco-riot led to the elimination of large-scale production.
    The eco-riot in Ulyanovsk, which had just appeared against the park development, irritated the authorities and paralyzed the work of the developers, provoking legal proceedings.

    These are only the loudest examples of this year. There are many more examples of smaller ones across the country, it's just that either they have not yet reached a high level of discussion, or the problems that caused them have already been resolved. "

    A comrade, however, kept silent about the reasons for these events and, as always, tried to find the hand of the State Department (there are still fools who believe in this).
    It should be reminded to the regular nonsense that the events in Novohopersk began with the brutal beating of protesters, including women’s guards and blindfolding the cops with eyes on it. It is interesting what the staff nonsense will say about ethnic skirmishes and popular gatherings, the number of which has grown many times over the past two years.

    This is called wrecking. If we do not mine nickel in the Voronezh region, we will buy it in other countries at the expense of the Russian population. Fools should have already realized that miracles do not happen.
    If herbicides are used in the fields, hares die, if not used, we die because of crop failure. So far, we are making decisions, not hares.
    Contrary to the opinion of the profane, Russia has no wealth of mineral resources, except for explored and prepared for production during the Soviet era, which will last for a maximum of 10-15, and for some species less.
    The exploration and preparation of new reserves costs trillions of rubles that the oligarchs will not invest, and the budget has no money. In the Russian Federation, it is not socialism, but capitalism and income that goes not to the state budget, but to the pockets of the oligarchs. Without impact on the environment, we still do not know how to work and will not learn for another 50-100 years.

It seems that historical experience does not teach us anything ...

    Nickel mining in Khopre. To begin with, the directors are there, the same people with the marsh that parasitize the local population. Actually, they don’t even hide much, you can often see the union of the two anti-Nickel + Bulk stickers on the car. By the way, the audience is quite aggressive if you start talking to them reasonably why don’t you put your signature on the lists against nickel mining, at first they try to convince that the water from Khopr, for example, will go into wells, ending with the fact that Chernobyl will be ubiquitous. Since he himself lived for three years in the city of the same name Nika I’m aware of what they’re talking about, their arguments usually don’t penetrate them), then they begin to be rude, but if you start to press their arguments in response, they either go to the mat or accuse me of receiving money for pro-Putin propaganda))) I have repeatedly asked the adress to suggest, otherwise I get to the ideological))).

    If initially the local public really opposed the local bureaucracy, then now they have grown up to the so-called anti-government views, any discus with them quickly goes over to anti-Putin rhetoric. In general, they are well brainwashed there. The pogrom of geologists, in my opinion, is precisely the development of civil disobedience. to taste the blood, so to speak, and the police check for lice, how to behave. A right thing, so to speak. And lastly, I will share my thoughts on directing. When in the Voronezh region. the African plague broke out, a moment arose for a truly ecological rebellion. in some villages there was open disobedience to the authorities because of their excesses in the destruction of the livestock of pigs. However, all this did not lead to mass performances like hoppers, pickets and stickers on cars, as well as T-shirts, did not appear. and only now in anti-Putin groups in social networks they are starting to raise this topic, they say poor unfortunate peasants .. But as they say the train has already left. It turns out that the directors occupied by Khoprom and the Moscow elections missed a really great moment to inflict an injection of power. Therefore, I personally do not believe in the sincerity of folk moaning over a birch or a pine cut down.

    Well, lastly, about all the same anti-Putin social groups. In the midst of the floods in the Khabarovsk Territory, the people got so crazy that they directly accused Putin of the flood, apparently he either turned off the crane or forgot to close it.))))

    I am alarmed by the question itself. One hundred years ago in this Voronezh they dug and dug up the ideal of agriculture for Europe. Today they again dug nickel there. You bro brothers decide ...

    In my opinion, the reason for the mini-riots is the inability of the authorities to do something, economic impotence, i.e. to collect taxes, steal a kickback that she can, and invest no matter in the construction or modernization of production. And if he invests, it is only in such a way that he would steal at least 30%, and the development of the protest movement in the environmental direction is only a tribute to fashion.
