Mediapart (France): Russia has allowed captive hunts

the Word “aviary” Russian lawyers describe the space for the killing of innocent animals, which will occupy not less than 50 hectares. There you can hunt day and night, all year round, who and when anyone, even shooting at close range. Animals can be caught in nature.

Brave MPs ignored the petition on the website change.org in which more than 200,000 citizens opposed the bill. They used the usual arguments, citing the example of other countries. Every time the Duma adopts controversial law, she either relies on “experience partners,” or (if the law is really an odious or exotic) said about Russia’s special path.

anyway, in this case we are talking about the same Soviet model (compromise with the last of the Sologne and the landowners of Andalusia who want to continue hunting on his own estates), and the cruel practices of the Soviet nomenklatura. Another symptom of a historical turn of Russia from the beginning of the Millennium. We are talking about returning to the good old days of Brezhnev, Honecker, Tito, when dead drunk party leaders fired on tied to a post animals. Then they proudly walked in front of a mountain of dead ducks or put his foot on the head of the bear, which is actually shot from far away sniper KGB.

Now the circle is closed, and history repeats itself because of the lack of collective analysis. Wonder behind this nostalgia for the Communist past, the desire to go further, to feudalism, serfdom, hunting with hounds. New owners of Russia, starting from the first of them, accept yourself for the boyars, for whom everything is permitted. They are above the laws and enjoy great privileges on the privatized land, which protects them from numerous personal guard.

In 2018, the Russian public was outraged by the footage of how the Irkutsk Governor Sergey Levchenko shot who was sleeping in the den of the bear. Then he showed his grandson how to shoot a gun at a caged boar. All this was accompanied by drinking vodka and disgusting obsequiousness of the environment. After the adoption of a new law governing class will be able to indulge in such entertainment without the risk of ending up in social networks.

the same day, deputies rejected a bill on public financing of care for children with spinal muscular atrophy. Indeed, what to buy ammo, if free to treat the poor children?

a Few days later parliamentarians supported the amendments to the Constitution that would allow Putin to remain forever President. In their view, is a clear sequence: the authoritarian gerontocracy don’t like animals and children experience unconscious craving for death.
