A statesman who doesn’t exist yet. Remid. Аlmaz Braev

sitting on even worse than himself. And if the worst is ahead, it does not mean that it is the best. It is the best in adaptation, in traditional servility, mimicry, otherwise it will not be able to climb up the steps of capacity. There is a General sense of unease in the air. More than that, fear. And even the band of hypocrites and thieves is not sure where the punishment for lying and opportunism will come from. The entire population does not expect anything good, although inertia praises its immediate and formally first leader. There is no war but there is anxiety. There’s something wrong here.

      It would seem that to get out of this situation of anxiety and believe in the future, you just need to choose the worthy ones. Responsible people. But where can I get them now? The problem of selecting the worst in the name of fulfilling the will of the “best” (for today, conditionally the best) creates a depraved and cunning population. Each of the traditional crowd wants to get somewhere higher and for this purpose assumes a submissive appearance. The trick becomes pervasive and widespread. All are cunning and at the same time dissatisfied with something. Is this culture? This is culture. Exemplary fathers of families begin to raise compliant and cunning sons already in their families. The entire system begins to reject any deviation from the norm, even during rest so as not to waste time. The entire regime seems to be mobilising. Any alternatives are rejected and pursued, perhaps not even literally but carefully, everything superfluous is cut off. In all areas of the battle with invisible intruders, there is a struggle as if it is the struggle of a traditional person with his shadow. It’s hard to find a cat in a black room the Chinese say. There seems to be no war but the fight is on. At the moment of praising the ruling elite both officially and informally, when no one is watching, everyone is watching themselves as if they are walking in an invisible line of spies. Where do decent people come from? The whole regime works against them. The real decent ones disappear as a species. They are decent inside but everything is in the outer shell. Everyone tries to get rid of such an acquaintance. Being decent here is quite consistent with the only discipline Decent huddle together to collectively Express contempt for the white crow. Even parents may regret at some point that they have a decent (actually decent) son, and not a respected scoundrel. And I would be a hypocrite like everyone else, maybe I would please the old people, my career would be set and people can brag.
