  • The Illusion of Dialogue: When Press Conferences Become Political Farces

  • Thanks! I too was thinking about the best place for this. In the end, it works best as an old man's philosophical musings. 👴

  • It sounds a bit cryptic, but thanks for the opinion. And now I’ll know what I can call myself: a tankie 😀

  • Repressions refer to the exceptionally cruel treatment of the population by government authorities. During Soviet times, even minor violations of established rules could result in severe punishment. For example, I was drafted into the army in 1950. On the very first day, they read me a decree from the Supreme Soviet of the USSR: if I left the military unit’s territory without permission for more than 5 minutes, the first offense would land me in the guardhouse, and the second would lead to a court-martial and three years in a penal battalion. After completing that term, I would have to return to the army to serve out my original 3-year enlistment.

    A similar situation existed in civilian life. People could be imprisoned for uttering a single word displeasing to the authorities. Peasants faced imprisonment for taking a few ears of grain, fruits, or vegetables from collective farm fields. Arrests often followed anonymous denunciations. Repressions embodied government-sanctioned cruelty and lawlessness. This is a very brief summary.

  • The current political situation in the country is shaped by the presidential elections. However, it's important to acknowledge that elections have been happening in the same way for almost the last 30 years, which is to say, there haven't really been any elections. When I look at America, their presidential elections are set for around November 6, 2024, and the race for the presidency has already been going on for more than half a year. Compare this to our country, where candidates have just over a month to build their credibility from 0% to the required percentage to be elected in a country as large as ours. The main contender, however, has the state budget at his disposal. He wants to continue being the country's leader, and he has the power to send a message to legislatures at all levels and to the government.

    Honestly, I don’t understand the legal standing of this message. What is it? Is it his personal creation, and are officials held accountable for not implementing the points outlined in it? Or is it the work of a group of people who are well-versed in politics and the country's economy, creating this message to assist the president? I'm only 94 years old, and perhaps that's why I don't understand the depth of the intent behind this message. Who is responsible for fulfilling or not fulfilling the good goals set out in the message? If there’s no responsibility, then in our country, this message is a beautiful fairy tale that plays the necessary role for the candidate, so to speak.
