Stalinist repression? And you did not forget Chubais and Gaidar?
Liberal reforms unleashed in the interests of global speculators against the people of Russia are one of the most heinous atrocities of the 20th century that is rich in them. Only the demographic losses for Russia as of 2018 exceed the demographic losses from the war (as of 1946).
Liberals of all stripes scream so heartily about the “Stalinist repressions” not only to steal our past from us, deprive us of self-esteem and, turning into ever-guilty Adolf, who do not remember kinship, make them pay endlessly to self-appointed masters and repent before the self-proclaimed moralists (who more and more often they are also pedophiles).
They are so desperately trying to drown us in the tragedies of a distant past in order to divert the country's attention from very recent tragedies, including from their own crimes.
Starting in 1987, these crimes continue to this day - and pension theft has 5 years of life, and the increase in VAT at the budget choked with money, and the “tax maneuver” that ensures a rise in gasoline prices, just continue the course begun by Gorbachev destruction of the consumer market, Gaidar price liberalization, Chubais voucher privatization, mortgage privatization, default, Chubais electricity industry reform, cannibal monetization of benefits ...
All of these - and countless other liberal reforms - have destroyed and continue to destroy the life of the country, have killed and continue to kill people in the interests of a handful of self-appointed “masters of life” who have become insane from greed and impunity.
And at least not to forget about the continuing crimes, at least not to forget the tens of millions of their victims - those who were not born and died prematurely - Russia needs on October 4, 1993. However, it is the day of memory of those who died then, a memorial to the victims of liberal reforms and the day of their memory. They are needed for the country to remember: the continuing hell of liberal reforms has nothing more to do with normality than the Nazi regime, approved by the West in Ukraine with the support of Russian oligarchs, to freedom of democracy.
Russia now commemorates the victims of liberal reforms on the day of the execution of the House of Soviets — a quarter of a century ago (at least a thousand people were estimated to be the most conservative) —in the most tragic, but only one episode of national treachery that has been going on for more than 30 years.
It is probably correct to celebrate the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Liberal Reforms on the day when they finally became inevitable and irrevocable - on October 18. It was on this day in 1991 that Gaidar and Shokhin held a press conference at which they announced price liberalization on January 2, 1992. The decision about this then, as far as can be judged, was only discussed, and it was the announcement to the whole country about liberalization as something finally resolved that made it inevitable and turned the crisis of the consumer market into a state of catastrophe.
The consumer market was practically destroyed by this announcement, since selling anything until price liberalization became totally unprofitable, and the trade in one day hid everything she could under the counter. The next 2.5 months were a time of physical absence of even the most ordinary goods - and photos of silent crowds, shocked to face the empty counters, which liberal debaters of the “cursed scoop” so much admire, as a rule, were made at this time and reflect the outstanding success of the liberals .
On October 18, 1991, the liberal clan finally took economic power into its own hands, and therefore it is reasonable to commemorate its victims on this day. A memorial for this in Moscow, surprisingly, already exists: the Wall of Sorrow, which is notorious for its architectural helplessness and depression, is a monument to victims of political repression in the square near the Garden Ring at the intersection of Sadovo-Spasskaya Street and Academician Sakharov Avenue.
First of all, the victims of liberal reforms correspond to the theme of this monument even from a purely formal point of view - not only because liberal reforms were accompanied and are accompanied by political repression against dissent (which costs only one 282nd "Russian" article of the Criminal Code), but also because liberal reforms are inherently political repression.
Their socioeconomic character is the same masking wrapper that, during the time of the dispossession of the kulaks, was a multiple, until complete ruin, the levying of a tax on wealthy peasants. It is not by chance that Chubais directly pointed out that the goal of privatization was the destruction of what he called “communism” - public ownership of the means of production and the laws of at least the possibility of real power of the people.
Liberal reforms were and remain essentially political repressions against the majority of the people who consider themselves entitled to manage their own lives and their own countries: for this they drove them to poverty and deprived them of real rights.
Will the Kremlin fill up the cracks in the vertical of power caused by the reform?
No less important, the Wall of Sorrow vividly expresses the despair and helplessness of most people in front of the part of the government that hates and destroys them with impunity - and we should not forget that the Great Terror lasted less than a year and a half, and liberal reforms have been carried out for more than 30 years.
On Memorial Day for the Victims of Liberal Reforms, portraits could be brought to the “Wall of Grief” (and those who did not have at least sheets with names) brought their dead ahead of time or relatives and friends directly killed by these reforms, and at least start reading the list of their names - because the number of victims is so large that there is not enough calendar year to read their full list, which continues to grow every day.
Respect for yourself and your rights begins with respect for your past, including the very recent one. And to honor the memory of the fallen is the sacred duty of all living.
