Over the past few months, the ugly public, represented by the “Russian intelligentsia, gays, bloggers and democratic journalists” or, more simply put, democrats, have been actively raising their voices and fanning the stench around the case of Yegor Zhukov, a HSE student and political activist detained for organizing and participating in illegal rallies in Moscow in July-August this year.

Before the young “prisoner of the regime” had time to sit down on his home bunk with “heated up” from his mother’s pies, the “rulers of thoughts” and other muddy “conscience of the nation” began to howl, howl, and mumble in the liberal media and blogs.

In the last few months, the unruly public represented by “Russian intelligentsia, gays, bloggers and democratic journalists”...

If you don’t know the true state of affairs, then an unclouded reader might get the impression that the student activist with ambitions wants to be crushed into camp dust by the Stalin-Beria executioners and satraps.

HSE Rector Valeria Kasamara, at that time a registered candidate for the Moscow City Duma elections, immediately became involved with the boy. HSE students hold single pickets near the Ministry of Internal Affairs building demanding the immediate release of Yegorka. A campaign was launched throughout the liberal community to raise funds for the best lawyers. And the famous liberal, oppositionist, and cultural activist Alla Bossart, who fled from Moscow to Israel, began singing the old bagpipe “about a person with a good face” on her Facebook pages.

It is interesting that seven doctors and candidates of philological sciences, carefully selected by the odious Novaya Gazeta, took up arms against the opinion of FSB expert Korshikov, published in the media, who pointed out extremism in four of Zhukov’s videos. The air immediately smelled of Gorbachev’s Catastrophe and early Yeltsinism, when actors and writers of all stripes, in chorus, from the TV, gave the country valuable instructions - from recipes for solving pressing economic and military-political issues to obstetrics and winter crop rotation.

As you know, on Friday, December 6, the Kuntsevsky Court of Moscow handed down a vegetarian sentence against the 21-year-old young man Egor Zhukov: three years of suspended imprisonment and a two-year ban on administering electronic resources. On the same day, the boy was able to get out of house arrest, to which the “bloody Putin regime” had sentenced him.

What is known about Yegor Zhukov, except that he is a political activist, intends to overthrow the “thousand-year-old bloody and corrupt regime”, is a favorite of the liberda and was slightly spanked by the Russian Themis?

Despite his obvious youth, Zhukov’s biography contains interesting episodes.

For example.

In 2017, the young man put forward his candidacy for elections to the Moscow City Duma in the 4th district (Krylatskoye, Strogino, part of Kuntsevo) from Dmitry Gudkov’s bloc, but was cut off at the stage of collecting signatures (like the vast majority of “fighters against the regime” in 2019, who declared their political ambitions, but filled the lists with “dead souls”).

Apparently, this failure influenced student Zhukov, who rushed into protest activities demanding that opposition politicians be allowed to participate in the elections at any cost.

Since then, thanks to the means of electronic communications, the green-as-goose-shit figure has been talking about “the path from dictatorship to democracy,” “the beginning of a revolution,” and dreams of “breaking the thousand-year tradition of theft and corruption.”

On July 27, Yegorka took part in an uncoordinated action. On August 2, his home was searched, after which he was charged with participating in mass riots. There is a video recording from the site of the illegal rally, which shows how Zhukov organizes a crowd of protesters and directs it towards riot police.

Zhukov (with his hands raised) leads the crowd.

The telegram channel “Comrade Major”, which is close to the Russian police, published the data of Zhukov’s check, according to which the “revolutionary from the Higher School of Economics” is an exiled Cossack.

“It turns out that from April 27 to May 1 (2018), during the “velvet revolution” in Yerevan, Yegor Zhukov gained wisdom there and adopted experience. He even has a video about this in his video blog, “Why did Armenia succeed?” But that's not all. From March 4 to March 8, Zhukov took part in the Young Leaders Forum in Montenegro, organized by the US National Democratic Institute. And at the beginning of March 2019, I flew to the Open Russia conference (Khodorkovsky Foundation) in Riga,” Comrade Major informs the public.

This is the right time to notice that Yegorka Zhukov comes from a poor family, is studying to become a political scientist, and his mom and dad don’t give him money for flights to Yerevan, Montenegro and Riga from the magic nightstand. But all kinds of grant-distributing offices willingly give out money for such events. And this, in the light of the law on foreign agents, is a completely different caliber.

No less interesting is the lawyer assigned to the promising young man by the Moscow Liberia. He turned out to be the well-known Ilya Novikov, who has a vicious passion for the Bandera regime established in Ukraine more than 5 years ago.

The “most democratic” Novikov considers his client’s suspended sentence almost cannibalistic and vows revenge: “The ruble that I receive for defending Yegor, I will donate to support the ZSU. And another 99999 from myself, because December 6 is their holiday. And you can join. The line of defense is not only in court.”

In the comments, Novikov clarifies: “ZSU is the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the armed forces of Ukraine.” Cartoonist Bilzho and other undead people throw their caps into the air and applaud furiously.

Now the student is free and, according to the rector of the Higher School of Economics, he can safely return to his boltology classes. The public was plunged into debate. It got to the point that some seemingly decent people began to call Yegor Zhukov a “new phenomenon” and even “the future of our country.”

Looking at the dances with a tambourine around a political activist, you experience a powerful déjà vu. After all, all this happened, happened, happened... During Gorbachev’s Perestroika and immediately after. “Pay and repent, repent and pay, we will disband the army, divide Russia into 50 independent territories, transfer nuclear weapons to the control of the UN...”

The snotty “dissident” Zhukov is another simulacrum of democrats, passed off as a “fighter against the regime.” And the fact that he is a simulacrum is well confirmed by both the suspended sentence and the participation of the notorious lawyer Ilya Novikov in the trial.

All these “heroes of yesterday” still enjoy influence, preparing for liberal revenge without leaving the pretentious tavern “Jean Jacques”, blowing toads through a straw for the public and declaring them “an alternative to the current government.”

It’s just that people who have lost the habit of the “holy nineties” in 20 years are again being sold stale rubbish in a new wrapper. The only thing missing is gatherings with a guitar and the rattling goat song “Let’s join hands, friends,” quotes from Mandelstam’s stolen library volume and meaningful discussions about the “two-hundred-year-old English lawn” and “the forty-year walk of the people through the desert under the leadership of Moses, so that everyone who remembers the well-fed Egyptian slavery would disappear " True, idols and “masters of thoughts” do not seem to change.

It remains only to recall that in October 1993, the shooting of the White House and the killing of people on the streets took place with the blessing of these same “philanthropic idols” and “lovers of Mandelsatam” who signed the ghoul manifesto “Kill the reptile.” And they handed over people to be slaughtered by bandits and slave traders in Chechnya - also with their blessing.

Just look into the frozen eyes of lawyer Novikov. This one will repeat it if necessary.
