For us, June 12 is not a holiday and it will never be. It is a day of lawlessness, a day of criminality, a day of fear.
This is a day of joy only for the authorities of Russia, and we do not enter the power of Russia.
Comrades, have you ever thought what the names of modern holidays mean? Here we have on June 12th such a “Day of Russia”. What is the result, the remaining 364 days a year - not Russia? Logic in this title is useless to search, because the name of the "holiday" was literally taken from the ceiling. 2019 is the year of the theater in Russia. On June 12, the authorities will be putting forth performances with all their might, portraying folk festivals, but on TV you will not see sincere joy on this day. Because the people both know, and remember, and feel that this “fake” “holiday” and the “holiday” story are not at all festive.
On June 12, 1990, the 1st Congress of People's Deputies of the RSFSR adopted the “Declaration of Sovereignty”. From this day on, the laws of the union republic began to be considered higher than the laws of the union (USSR). But in the Constitution of the USSR, Article 74 was completely different: the laws of the Union are higher than the laws of the local ones (the Soviet Union was a federation, not a confederation). That is, the "Declaration of Sovereignty" was separatist and unconstitutional. In addition, on the territory of the RSFSR private property was allowed, and this permission was very quickly used during the privatization of the 90s.
What was this Congress of People's Deputies? For us, the youth, this is all the more important, because they do not write about the collapse of the USSR and the 90s in history books, too many historical facts cast a shadow on those political forces who are now in power. The congress of people's deputies on June 16, 1990 introduced a multi-party system in the RSFSR. People's deputies were elected as self-promoted in the elections of the spring of 1989. Elections were held after the constitutional reform on December 1, 1988. It was these elections that led to power, for example, Zhirinovsky: the person who became a meme. By that time, Gorbachev’s and anti-Gorbachev’s men managed to get the voters, and they voted for it to finally end. It is over.
On June 12, 1990, the open destruction of the USSR began. How did this destruction turn for the peoples of Russia? A terrible tragedy, millions of deaths, Chechen and criminal wars, banditry and poverty. How has this destruction turned out for the Russian authorities? By elevation. The class struggle has been going on and will continue. Then our class lost in this fight, and their class won. Power - the winners. Therefore, they rejoice, but we do not.
Former petty officials from the CPSU and the Komsomol, the former dealers of the Soviet black market, the former criminal authorities - they all became a new class, the bourgeoisie with the oligarchs at the head. Power passed to the oligarchy. Industrialists, bankers and merchants began to rule the country, and not by themselves, but by proxy, hiring managers, managers, ranging from directors of enterprises and ending with deputies and ministers. They began to sell the wealth of the USSR, turning it into their capital. Winners are not judged. The winners are happy too.
Who watched the “Game of Thrones” - that’s where the Pinky played the same role as the oligarchy in Russia, created controlled chaos and reaped its fruits. He manipulated the feudal lords, the oligarchs manipulated by officials and gangsters. Our parents were the Soviet people, but the trade unions and the party broke away from this people, and gradually there were no organizations left in the society that could unite the people to fight lawlessness. Without associations, people became mobs. The crowd is noisy, strong, but easy to control. Our citizens turned into a crowd, and the winners of this, too, rejoice.
We began to turn into a crowd back in the 1980s, when our generation was in infancy. At first, they began to accuse us of the sins of their ancestors, pointing their finger at repression. Then they began to accuse their ancestors that they were not perfect. They began to say that if the Soviet government is not perfect, then down with it. Living people spoke with the words of scoundrels, traitors and villains from prose of the 20th century, and voters, spectators and readers believed them: how not to believe, these are such great people! The Communists, who recognized deception and betrayal, have already spoken, written, shouted - but it was too late! And now? The same accusers accuse us of civil passivity. The fact that we do not want to ride at their meetings. But even there, everyone in the crowd is bound by chains of fear: and this is no longer the fear of “Stalinist” repressions (hello, Dood!). The historian Alexander Dyukov wrote:
“The fear of a simple person for many decades is not that they will come after him, throw him in jail or be shot. The main fear of a simple person is that he will lose his job and will not find a new one, that he will seriously get sick and will not be able to work, that he will die - and as a result his wife and children will be thrown to the social bottom. This is a sticky fear that constantly accompanies the common man - and he comes straight from the 90s. The 90s are the birthplace of our fear. And this fear, unlike the fear of Kolyma, is not phantom. He can incarnate at any time. You. I have. Any ordinary person. " People are afraid and silent, and the winners are happy too.
For us, June 12 is not a holiday and it will never be. It is a day of lawlessness, a day of criminality, a day of fear. This is a day of joy only for the authorities of Russia, and we do not enter the power of Russia. The current authorities are glad that 29 years ago they have reached the trough and that they are not expelled. This is not the day of Russia. This is the anniversary of the unconstitutional coup. This is a day of remembrance and grief for the victims of the 90s. This is the day of exposure and the day of rallying. All patriots of Russia should rally not for the “Day of Russia”, but against it, against its results. Because everything goes to the fact that the coup is not the last. So, it is impossible to allow similar crimes to happen in the future. And you can not let them go unpunished.
