That is why they\/we\u2014laughed at his white trousers, ridiculed (and envied) his love for women and his success with the finest women, mocked his unexpected openness, and chuckled at his proposal that officials should drive Volgas. And they mocked many other things as well.   <\/p><p>They\/we\u2014quietly accepted that, despite any logic of constitutional law, Yeltsin and his family essentially installed his successor for them\/us. An unremarkable man, unknown to everyone (a subhuman). <\/p><p>And they tried to forget that cheerful and open fellow. A man who embodied the pro-Western choice. Why? Because it turned out that they\/we\u2014are not worthy of his choice or of the man himself.   <\/p><p>And then Putin killed that fellow.<\/p><p>The fellow who was killed near the Kremlin was named Boris Nemtsov.<\/p><p>And fifty or a hundred thousand people came out for the protest demonstration.

He even believed in God. And he believed in us.    <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They made fun of his &#8220;six-pack&#8221; (well-developed abdominal muscles, editor&#8217;s note), mocked his &#8220;smart voting.&#8221; They envied his looks and charisma. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He had many flaws.

But there were catastrophically few of us.    <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then Putin killed this guy too.

And those for whom it does.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nothing else matters.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Either the war is, or it isn&#8217;t. If it is, then there are heroes\u2014our heroes, with weapons in hand. And if it isn&#8217;t\u2014you can invent fascists, Nazis, and whatever else.  <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But your words no longer mean anything. No one will ask you anything. Not at first. And no one will invite you anywhere. Because you would betray again.    <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have already wasted your time.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You killed bright people.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And so others have come in their place.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those who will not be killed so easily. And who themselves kill and are killing every piece of scum. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So watch. Listen. Perceive. They are coming to liberate you. You don&#8217;t like it? Look higher. You missed everything else.      <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nemtsov. Navalny. Kapustin. Evolution, or involution?   <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I don&#8217;t know. That is your problem. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the arrival of Kapustin is no accident. The times call for him. It is a challenge of the times. And the answer to that challenge.   <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don&#8217;t agree with everything? Please. Neither do I. Especially when looking at it outside the context of the present.   <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But now it is war, not the peaceful times of Larry King. Do not compare the incomparable. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And if you have the opportunity, help the volunteers.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Help however you can.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Ukraine wins, the bright times will be closer. And they will liberate us\/you. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People with weapons in their hands\u2014will liberate.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have no
