To the Success of our Hopeless Cause!

Тунеядство!

Asking the question what will Putin do to stop the unstoppable samizdat movement in Russia and elsewhere in the near-abroad, he may wish to consider the inherent danger of taking on the people.

This video is dedicated to the countless dissidents who fought the bear and won, living to tell about it and overcome all odds to make the hopeless cause a fait accompli. Interestingly, the Moscow Helsinki Group just celebrated its 30^th anniversary this year, as noted on the U.S. State Department website.

Putin and his friends would do wise to take notice. As history has shown, when they kill a man his ideas multiply ten fold.

I put together another YouTube piece today, loaded with quotes from former dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn. The song, “Nas Ne Dogonjat” translates to “Not Gonna Get Us”. I’m not a huge fan of T.A.T.u., but I thought this one would work. English lyrics here.

No surprise here: Putin may suspend Russian constitution and run for third term (no doubt with more fixed election results to come in this “managed democracy”.

Russian citizens put livelihoods and lives on line to protest against Putin and for human rights in Moscow.
