L’oppositore Nikolaj Rybakov: «Non basta sperare nella fine di Putin, il sistema del regime gli sopravviverà»

July 1, 2023 – 08:45

di Marco Imarisio

DAL NOSTRO INVIATO

MOSCA – Loro l’avevano detto. «Guardi qui, se non ci crede». Sul tavolo ci sono dépliant vecchi di cinque anni, che risalgono alle elezioni del 2018, e altri più recenti. In ogni documento si fa cenno al pericolo che corre lo Stato russo facendo ricorso alle milizie dei mercenari, si invita il governo a imporre «prima che sia troppo tardi» l’obbligo di operare in patria e all’estero solo con l’esercito regolare, alle dipendenze del ministero della Difesa. E non con strutture parallele private, come la Brigata Wagner, espressamente nominata. «Anche perché la presenza di queste organizzazioni comporta forti rischi di instabilità interna», è scritto in una delle tante proposte di legge presentate in questi anni.

«Noi avevamo avvertito in ogni modo del pericolo. Naturalmente, non ci hanno ascoltato». Nikolaj Rybakov, presidente di Yabloko, l’unico partito russo di opposizione ancora legale e a piede libero, sembra avere una maschera di disillusione sulla faccia. Siamo nella sede nazionale, in una via del centro di Mosca. Alle pareti della sala d’attesa ci sono poster che riproducono frasi celebri sulla pace di pericolosi sovversivi come Albert Einstein, John Lennon, il Mahatma Gandhi. Questo è il posto giusto per capire se davvero dopo i fatti del 23 giugno si apre una fase nuova, anche per chi dissente. «Certamente», dice con ironia questo economista, ex deputato, di formazione liberale. «Nel senso che potrebbero metterci su un treno e spedirci in Siberia».
