protests in russia, 9.09.2018

sorry for the long post, but i won’t hide it under read more, you’ll have to see this, boo hoo.

@ rich educated students living in europe or america, studying “russian culture” in their universities and wishing you lived here, or Woke ppl thinking all russians support their government’s actions and do nothing to stop them,

i cannot believe how lucky, privileged and naive yall are.

protests against retirement pension age reforms took place all over russia yesterday. they were unsanctioned, because in russia you’re supposed to apply for the authorities to let you host a protest; otherwise everyone is arrested and beaten up. which is what happened yesterday. these people were out on the streets protesting the recent change in retirement age (it was moved forward, thus making the chance of the government just keeping your money if you die before reaching the retirement age, which happens very often here as russians in general don’t have a long life span thanks to atrocious medical care system and the lack of resources)

stats: more than a 1000 people arrested, including old people, teenagers and children; people beaten up, some of them wounded or with broken limbs, some old people requiring urgent medical care; most of community organisers and opposition leaders detained before the start of the protests. (https://tvrain.ru/news/ovd_info-471172/)

all for a peaceful protest. some of these people knew what to expect, because this is how most of protests end here. some didn’t, and were old and frail, or young, and just wanted to express their discontent. they were treated violently, ruthlessly and cruelly. this is what my country is today.

i am enraged. i am grieving. i HATE that the rest of the world doesn’t care, that the west make all russian developments about themselves and the western media only reports russian news connected to the american elections. i hate that no one ever mentions or notices the suffering of the people, the people arrested and jailed for nothing, the people tortured to death in prisons, oleg sentsov’s hunger strike going on for over 100 days and counting, the murdered journalists, the unbelievably widespread and obvious corruption, the spread of religious propaganda in all civil affairs including education and medicine. nothing changes, nothing ever will. i hate this.

and this post won’t get more than like, 15 notes, most of them likes from my fellow russians. people i know in europe tell me to my fucking face that they consider putin’s regime “strong and powerful”, american commies post memes about stalin and lecture ME, A CRIMEAN TATAR, on how the soviet union was beneficial for the people. i can’t express the kind of despair i feel every day.

No drawings today or any other time soon.

TUMBLR WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM

THE BIGGEST FOREST RESOURCES OF THE PLANET ARE BURNING AND YOU BE LIKE

OH

IT'S RUSSIA, SO NO BIG DEAL :)))

You ask for reblogs every time some shit happens in America or Europe, hell, you even cared about Notre Dame and Greece forests burning. WHY THE FUCK DON'T YOU CARE ABOUT SIBERIA DYING IN FIRE

OH RIGHT, YOU CAN WATCH SHIT ABOUT ONE OF OUR TRAGEDIES IN TV SHOW, BUT WHEN ANOTHER TRAGEDY THIS BIG HAPPENS RIGHT FUCKING NOW - YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES AND PRETEND IT ISN'T HERE

MOST OF OUR COUNTRY IS ALREADY COVERED IN SMOKE, IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME WHEN IT WILL REACH MOSCOW AND FURTHER CITIES, BIG PARTS OF OUR FORESTS ARE ALREADY GONE IN FIRE, ANIMALS ARE DYING HERE

AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S THE WORST? WE CAN'T EVEN FORCE OUR GOVERNMENT TO USE ANY. FUCKING. FORCES. AGAINST FIRE

MOST OF OUR PEOPLE DONT EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT, BECAUSE OUR TV DOESN'T SPEAK ABOUT IT

AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS DO? RIGHT, YOU REMAIN SILENT. BECAUSE IT'S NOT CLOSE TO YOU. BUT LET ME TELL YOU THAT - IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME WHEN IT WILL AFFECT YOU, TRUST ME.

Look at this. If those photos don't affect you, you can shove your pathetic posts about saving our eco system deep into your ass.

No Drawings Today Or Any Other Time Soon.

There is nothing can be done without help and talking about it. And yes, it's this time when it's really YOUR duty to share this information with everyone. You can hate us. Many of our problems got silenced just because world doesn't care. But trust me, when all of our forests will die in a fire, you will be the next one to go.

Today I used this blog to speak, and if you don't like it - fuck you. But the next time you will post shit about global warming, social/economic problems, etc. - remember the time you ignored a problem this big and go fuck yourself.
