Yesterdays
developments at the Journalism Faculty of the Moscow State
Lomonosov University mean idiotism which should not be
repeated.
The fact that the security services work at the proposed
meeting site of [of the President with the students] does
not cause problems. The question is, what they do: whether
they ensure safety or a nice television picture. Protesting
students presented no danger to the head of state, and, judging
by the information in the media, what was written on their
placards was in line with the law.
These students may be a problem and a headache only for the
ruling United Russia election headquarters (their electoral
list is topped by the President), rather than for security
services. And certainly, this "problem" should not
be solved by means of detentions and preventive conversations
in the police. I think that any distraction of the Federal
Security Service from its main function is bad. It is harmful
to the state.
