description | Phenomenon of mass protests has become a revelation, as a backdrop of the celebrated events of the end of 2011 and beginning of 2012. For some, this revelation was found first of all not too pleasant, to others it gave hope for changes. As the beginning of the unexpected splash of mass civil activity became a protest meeting at the Bolotnaya square, which gathered an unbelievable amount of members for the latest Russian history - more than 40000 people. Strictly concurrent struggle during elections in 2011, including a dominant advance in resources of governing party and considerable violations at the elections, became a detonator of the future events. However, the basic causes of this phenomenon were deeper and more serious, in the author's judgment. |
