This opinion was expressed in a comment to PolitNavigator by Kiev political scientist Andrey Zolotarev, head of the Third Sector Center.
“Hate kills. When Buzina was killed, there were those who believed that it was possible to gloat when a stranger was killed. But the atmosphere of hatred will lead to an explosion, and fragments from the explosion fly in all directions. When they say about the death of Pavel Sheremet that this is an element of a destabilization scenario, they do not say that the authorities are fully responsible for the fact that the country is being covered by a wave of crime, that law enforcement agencies have been and remain breeding grounds for corruption and organizations that, at best, protect the authorities themselves , but not society, because the monopoly on violence has passed into the hands of all kinds of radical organizations. It can be stated that the country is entering a period of severe political turbulence. It may happen that the structure of the state may not withstand these overloads,” says the expert.
