According to the zaks.ru correspondent, the Youth YABLOKO
organisation in St.Petersburg conducted an action devoted
to the Constitution Day. Today the activists decided to conduct
a theatrical action.
One of the YABLOKO’s activists wearing a mask of RF President
Dmitry Medvedev publicly introduced amendments into the articles
of the Constitution written on placards.
A YABLOKO’s activist disguised as Medvedev introduced the
following amendments: he replaced the word “individual” [in
the Constitution] whose rights and freedoms are the supreme
value by the word “bureaucrat”, and instead of a “democratic
state” there was a sovereign monarchy headed by an appointed
President. Speaking about the secular nature of the Russian
state the young activists introduced the following amendment
“cross my heart!”
In addition the activists also hold a slogan “Let Us Make
the Constitution Closer to the Reality!” and distributed leaflets
with texts about violations of constitutional norms. According
to young YABLOKO’s activists, the Constitution implements
only representational functions crating an illusion of a democratic
secular state with a division of powers.
We should also add that the action was not mass-scale. About
ten young activists came to celebrate the Constitution Day.
The police observing the order at the place of the action
did not interfere.
