The communists threatened the current government with the fate of the royal family of Nicholas II. Such a statement was made by Nikolai Osadchy, a deputy from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, during a meeting of the State Duma, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Let us recall that the family of Nicholas II was shot by the Bolsheviks on the night of July 16-17, 1918.
Osadchy made such a statement in the context of a discussion of pension reform, according to which the retirement age for citizens of the Russian Federation will be increased.
“Citizens are dissatisfied precisely because another deception is happening. After all, none of the representatives of the ruling circles, either at the 2016 Duma elections or at the Russian presidential elections, told voters that they were preparing to raise the retirement age. There was no such item in the programs of United Russia and presidential candidate Putin,” the politician said.
The communist said that protests against raising the retirement age will increase after the end of the World Cup.
“But the football festival is over, and the waves of protests against the pension project will rise higher and higher. Already about 100 thousand citizens across Russia have taken to the streets in many cities, many thousands of millions of signatures have already been collected, the procedure for an all-Russian referendum has begun with the question: “Do citizens agree with this government initiative,” at the same time the Communist Party of the Russian Federation launched a survey in all regions, and on July 28 An all-Russian action will be held in all major cities and regions, including Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar, Rostov and others, which have so far been cut off from public protest,” said the deputy from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.
Osadchy also added that all this speaks of a split within Russian society, and this situation can lead to tragic consequences.
“By the way, today is another historical date in our history. On the night of July 16-17, Nikolai Romanov’s family and himself were shot. This was led to by the angry discontent of society, the social explosion that occurred in 1917 and in subsequent years. In this regard, the final question arises: What, the government doesn’t understand, doesn’t see, doesn’t know that, despite the abundance of cheerful television programs, the absolute majority (80-90%) of citizens are against such a pension reform? Or is someone, being at the upper echelons of power, purposefully preparing the ground for a social and political explosion, for a rebellion and a coup d’etat?” – Osadchiy believes.
