Searches in the apartments of Sergei Udaltsov and his parents
deepen the political crisis in the country and reinforce the
split between the state and the society.
The campaign of reprisals against Sergei Udaltsov and other
opposition activists resembles as of its scenario Stalin's
trials against "enemies of the people". Starting
with a public denunciation as a very questionable film "Anatomy
of a Protest-2" [depicting opposition activists as spies
or bought up puppets] further under the screams of lickspittles
and denunciators from the United Russia party this campaign
has transferred into the phase of direct reprisals with the
prospects of many years of camp life [for Udaltsov].
Searches in the apartment of a political opponent to the
government in view of his political activities represents
a repressive act of political revenge.
Not sharing Sergei Udaltsovs political views, I think it
unacceptable to use such methods for "neutralisation"
against any representative of the political opposition.
The YABLOKO party demands to immediately stop this openly
ordered campaign by the investigators against Sergei Udaltsov,
Nicholai Kavkazsky and other people arrested in accordance
with the so-called "Bolotnaya Square protesters case."
The state carrying out such actions abolishes the democratic
basis of its legitimacy and declares itself a police and repressive
state.
The state implementing such action rejects the legitimacy
of the democratic base and declares himself a policeman, repressive,
provoking a social violent response towards such a state.
Further spinning of the spiral of illegitimate violence in
the relationships between the state and the society, Vladimir
Putin's regime is digging its grave with its own hands, just
like a hundred years ago the regime of [Tzar] Nicholas II
did the same [in Russia].
The outrage generated by such reprisals sooner or later turns
out to be stronger than fear which the authorities are counting
on unleashing the reprisals.
Hands off from Sergei Udaltsov and the prisoners of the Bolotnaya
Square protesters case!
