Here's an interesting version of events - http://chipstone.livejournal.com/1142257.html

From my experience reading this fellow - he often guesses the essence of phenomena correctly, though he usually dilutes them a bit with conspiracy theories and his political views. Nevertheless, it's useful to read if you make allowances for the above.

Say, in Moscow-2011 they also expressed their will, the authorities didn't particularly interfere, but it didn't turn out so well... and without any repressions, crackdowns, breaking dishes, or anything like that. They went out, held rallies, chatted online and in kitchens, most realized they shouldn't have gotten involved in the first place, and the process fizzled out on its own.

Personally, I'm against such changes. I had enough of 1990 and 2004, after which the country regressed to the level of Zanzibar. And what you're talking about isn't freedom, but anarchy, though maybe for you that is freedom...

You just haven't encountered this yet, but I personally felt all the quirks of such revolutions firsthand, when my company was inspected 5 times in a year. The tax inspectors said outright, sorry, dude, but understand, the budget is empty, we're being screwed over, we can't get taxes, so make up for it with fines.

Or another example. My wife washed my license [in the laundry], I had to retake the test. I go to the traffic police, and there's complete turmoil, and now the bribe is 10! times bigger, because everyone is scared. And for me, even one day without a car is a big loss. Study? That's nonsense. Passing it on my own there is almost impossible, everyone wants to eat. I had to pay up.

And a third example. If before the revolution fines were issued in the range of 1 minimum wage to 10 minimum wages, first 1, then 2, then 3-5, then after it, right from the first time, they gave the maximum. And there are tons of such examples.

So the question is, why the hell do I need all these revolutions?
