Less than a month has passed since the inauguration of the “new old” President and the citizens of Russia, as they say, can eat with a spoonful. There was an increase in the price of automobile fuel (which the “solt-faced” man was so zealously indignant in public during all the years of his reign), and an official increase in VAT to 20 percent was announced. And it was announced that the retirement age would be raised. Once again, Russians were considered brainless kittens who would silently swallow everything. Well, as a last resort, they will kneel...

The worst thing is that decisions to increase VAT and the retirement age are made under the guise of the Mondeal crisis that began today. When the “slaves” are clearly not going to be interested in anything other than football. At the same time, announcing the upcoming increases in VAT and the retirement age, the “favorite” of the “forever young” made such a sour face, saying, what can I do - this is how the circumstances have developed...

I wonder if those who zealously campaigned and voted for the “eternal” are also happy with everything? Or do they give a damn and “approve” what is happening unconditionally? Are their data, in fact anti-people, quite satisfactory with their decisions? What will the VAT increase give to the people? First and foremost, the state will primarily withdraw resources from the population, which has experienced a four-year drop in income: businesses will be able to include a significant portion of the costs in prices and pass them on to consumers. Which will undoubtedly be done.

Accordingly, we will see an increase in prices for goods and services. VAT was charged at a rate of 20% until 2004, then it was reduced to 18%. And now everything is “back to normal” again. We will undoubtedly receive an increase in prices. What about REALLY increasing people's incomes? Apparently, this is the last thing the Government is interested in.

Now what about the second, certainly anti-people decision of the current cabinet. Raising the retirement age. Decision is made. True, a supposedly gentle and gradual increase was announced. According to Dmitry Medvedev, this will allow additional funds to be allocated to increase pensions above the inflation rate. But Russians know that the Cabinet of Ministers is often disingenuous in such matters. This increase in wages and pensions, if announced until 2034, will be delayed until this period. As for increasing taxes and other “delights”, one can always expect “acceleration of the process” from Medvedev.

As for the most painful decision - regarding retirement age, I will remind you of the words of the “guarantor”, in case anyone has forgotten:

A more realistic opinion was expressed by Oleg Shein, State Duma Deputy from the Astrakhan Region:

And now my own conclusion, to which I have the right, as a citizen of my country: Medvedev’s anti-people government resign!!!

The Kremlin has not yet familiarized itself with the petition for the resignation of Dmitry Medvedev from the post of prime minister, said presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov. Over the past 24 hours, two petitions for the prime minister’s resignation have appeared on Change.org

The Kremlin has not yet familiarized itself with the petition for the resignation of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, which appeared on the website Change.org. Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov told reporters about this on Thursday, answering a corresponding question from journalists, an RBC correspondent reports.

“No, we don’t know about this yet, I don’t think it requires any reaction,” Peskov said.

On August 4, a petition appeared on the Change.org website demanding the resignation of Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. The authors of the petition note that “the Cabinet of Ministers should be headed by a competent, educated person who cares for the country.” “The fish rots from the head, maybe this is where the “efficiency” of the ministries’ work comes from?!” - the petition says. At the moment, over 5 thousand people have signed it.

On August 3, a petition also appeared on Change.org calling on Medvedev to apologize to teachers and resign. “According to his offensive logic, it turns out that if a teacher has a calling, then he can generally work for free. An excellent justification for his own incompetent work,” writes the author of the petition and calls on the Russian President to dismiss Medvedev. “I also believe that Medvedev, with his statements about the lack of vocation, insulted all teachers in Russia, and therefore must apologize to them,” the petition says. At the time of writing, this petition was signed by about 1.5 thousand people.

Last Tuesday, Medvedev, during a conversation with participants in the “Territory of Meanings” forum, said that teachers who are dissatisfied with their salaries. The statement came after one of the forum participants, a teacher, asked why teachers receive 10-15 thousand rubles, and law enforcement officers receive more than 50 thousand rubles.

“I get asked about this often. Both for teachers and teachers, this is a calling. And if you want to earn money, there are a lot of great places where you can do it faster and better. Same business. But you didn’t go into business, as I understand it,” Medvedev said to the teacher who asked the question.

Peskov also answered journalists’ questions about whether there are difficulties with increasing teachers’ salaries, asked in the context of Medvedev’s statements. “The situation in this case cannot be generalized; the situation varies from region to region. We know that in some regions it is true that the criteria for teachers have not yet been met, but work is underway,” Peskov said (quoted by TASS). He emphasized that the criteria established by the May decrees “have not been reviewed or changed by anyone as of today.” At the same time, the presidential press secretary noted that the situation in different regions may change in different directions from year to year. The President is monitoring this topic, he assured.

The day before, Peskov commented on the publication of the Financial Times newspaper, which after the State Duma elections. We are talking about a column by Timothy Ash, published in the publication on August 1. In it, the author, in particular, predicts Medvedev’s possible resignation from the post of prime minister. “Exercises on the upcoming resignation of the government are not new. We know that with enviable consistency, everyone is guessing at the tea leaves,” Peskov said, adding that “this is such constant speculation that it has ceased to be perceived as information worthy of attention.”

As of the morning of July 18, more than 38 thousand citizens had already signed up for the resignation of the Medvedev Government on the Internet. There are one and a half hundred people against it.

People without room for error

Since the collapse of the USSR, having translated “democracy” into the American style, we are constantly being told about democracy.

But what is democracy? In Russia, democracy is the right of citizens to make a mistake, without the right to correct this mistake.

On June 12, 1991, one big mistake was made, later popularly nicknamed EBN (Boris Nikolaevich Yeltsin), and then one operation “receiver” followed another.

Since then, there has not been a single citizen-initiated referendum in Russia, and not a single elected or appointed official has resigned due to loss of citizen confidence.

The lack of opportunity for citizens to correct a mistake they have made is, without exaggeration, the main problem of Russia. In such a situation, the authorities think about the people only during the election campaign, and having received votes by hook or by crook, they completely ignore the opinion of the people.

Why Medvedev?

The answer is simple - Medvedev is the highest-ranking and most unpopular official, for whom there is a reason and it is quite possible to drop him.

There is no need to consider Medvedev as a person or even as a politician; Medvedev is a significant part of a huge system of state-oligarchic power that imagines itself as a god, which at the moment has failed and is vulnerable.

« If you let "god" bleed a little, people will quickly stop believing in him»

Medvedev's resignation will be a signal to every mayor, deputy, governor, and, in the end, to Putin, that the people are not a herd of sheep under their control, but a source of power, as written in the Constitution, which, if power does not work for the good of the people, may dry up. A signal for everyone, including those who come to replace Medvedev, that having made a mistake, you can easily be corrected.

If we remain silent today, on the contrary, it will be a signal to authorities at all levels that they need to serve a higher official and an oligarch sponsor, and they can’t give a damn about the people, who are far from being citizens.

What will it give?

At the time of writing this article, more than 30 thousand citizens voted for Medvedev’s resignation. If everyone tells only 30 friends and acquaintances, there will be about a million of us, and if they do the same, then all of Russia will rise up, showing that the Russian people are not cattle to wipe their feet on, and Russia is not an oil and gas storage facility for oligarchs.

Those in power are not idiots, they understand perfectly well that if a million or more people take to the streets of Russian cities, then it will not be Medvedev who will have to resign, but the entire government and the presidential administration headed by VVP, taking with them the United Russia faction in the State Duma.

If there are idiots in power, and they ignore us, we will have to come out and show that we are not virtual signatures, but real people whom, frankly speaking, they got.

From the site

You can read in detail the appeal of more than 100 State Duma deputies with 10 complaints against the Medvedev government at the link: Ten reasons for the resignation of the government. Appeal from State Duma deputies who proposed no confidence in the government of the Russian Federation

By the evening of July 18, over 40,000 citizens of the country had signed up for the initiative of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation to resign the government. A little more than 160 people spoke out against the resignation of the current cabinet of ministers. Feedback from citizens, many of which indicate additional reasons for sending the Medvedev government to a “well-deserved” rest, will definitely be taken into account at the final stage of the procedure for expressing no confidence in the government. It is worth noting that not all citizens bother to make correct statements in relation to the government and the prime minister, which once again clearly demonstrates the accumulated level of dissatisfaction with the course pursued by the Russian government.

The collection of signatures continues.
