March in memory of Nemtsov went worse than expected

Action in memory of Boris Nemtsov took place in Moscow and some other Russian cities on February 24. According to various estimates, in the capital the number of marchers ranged from 6 to 10 thousand people at target applicants in 30 thousand. Your presence at the procession of the honored representatives of non-system opposition.



At this time, "opinion leaders" representing the interests of the audience decided to speak Ilya Yashin. Armed harvested slogans, he tried to "ignite" the crowd with calls to advocate for a "Russia without Putin". Frankly sluggish sounded completely unfounded chants like "Boris Nemtsov – the hero of Russia". Perhaps the name of the Russian President sounded at the event in memory of Nemtsov much more often than the actual "beacon of opposition" – this was the main feature of the rally. Yes, that rally, because the voltage from the unrealized political ambitions, emotional but meaningless promises of change and a happy future in case of change of power was significantly more than sincere sorrow for the slain politician.

However, those few who have found it necessary to attend the March, initially did not perceive it as a mourning action. The footage of online reporting is heard the laughter of young people with banners for which participation in protest events turned into a lifestyle.

In General, the March sample of 2019 is no different from last year's counterparts, except that the seeming silence of Alexei Navalny. He not only ignored the questions of the journalist of "Radio Liberty", but in the eyes did not notice the elderly man who wanted to pay respects to his idol. Maybe he re-experienced the grief of Nemtsov and could not utter a word and therefore could not even pass the whole route, leaving the procession, along with his wife. Details of the relationship of two titans of the opposition until the end is unknown, but in mutual sympathy with the life of Boris Yefimovich they were not seen. So sleeping ostentatious silence Alexey Anatolievich on bad PR.

The Question that never leaves the viewer when observing quite a few column: what about the Germans? If you remove his portraits, the semantic content of the action will not change. Coupled with the number of participants, which for millions of the city can be considered as oscillating in the range of statistical error, called an event memorable or noticeable language is not rotated. And given the fact that the March was coordinated by the Moscow authorities.
