Kurginyan: What Navalny’s opposition members did was a display of insanity
“Navalny’s opposition members were offered not just a good place but a symbolic place, Sakharov Avenue, where they held all the previous rallies… Is this a fact? It is. There were no bans. They accepted the offer, but then they started making ridiculous announcements, and they rushed to where other events were being held… This is a disgusting display of insanity, that they directed the crowd to where other events were being held, to deliberately create a stampede, thereby violating everything; it’s just utter insanity…” Sergey Kurginyan said.
Kurginyan noted that the police reaction to all the protesters’ violations was perfectly civilized; nevertheless, Western media still branded Russia as a Mordor. “Whatever you do, we need you to be a Mordor, and you will be. And that is exactly what external governance is,” the leader of Essence of Time said.
