The teacher to the president: "I don't want to see my children as slaves as we, their parents, have become."
________________
A Kazan teacher has published an open letter to the President of Russia, in which she described the hopeless life of her family. Miserable salaries, debts to banks, self-restraint in everything, and no hope for the future...
"How did we get to THIS point?!"
My name is Irina, I live in Kazan, I am 37 years old. I've been working at a school all my life, and my salary is considered high for the profession – 25 t.p.
My husband is a builder, and he has more experience than me, he does not always earn consistently. Now it's about 40 t.p. it happens.
We have three boys, all students.
With great difficulty, 4 years ago we took out a loan for a three-room apartment in the Svetly microdistrict, and we will have to pay for another 11 years, 20 t.p. a month.
This year, with all the inevitability, I realized that I was terribly tired of living like this.
Day after day, the need to survive, to work hard, takes away y me, my husband, y those around me - the same teachers, all the vitality.
Staying outside with the kids is a real prospect for my family.
My husband finds stable earnings less and less often, his comrades, our families, more and more often fall for the promises of dishonest employers.
Cheating is everywhere, and even if they pay, not all of them. And this is a problem not only for the private sector, but also for state-owned enterprises.
The whole country is in the courts, everyone is “knocking out” debts. Y partners, y clients, y friends, y birth mothers and children…
How did we live to see THIS!?
No one in our family drinks or smokes, my husband and I have been working as hard as we can all our lives. I spend all my free hours tutoring after school, otherwise we don't have enough.
He takes on any job, even the hardest with concrete and masonry.
But how long can you live like this?
I want to ask our president and his friends: Do you understand what you have done to our people!?
The super profits and super-riches that you have appropriated by turning our state into a backward province.
Our economic model today is even more archaic than the Soviet Gosplan.
What do you call market relations?
A little more than two or three dozen banks that you own?
Airlines and railways, which are also controlled by your Family, are the largest markets that dictate BCE prices to us and also belong to you.
Where, tell me, are the market relations if all the work is distributed in the marias? Why did you entrust them with our money, who did you put to check the businessmen!?
Tex, who has never produced anything in his life. My children have never been abroad, we live in the most disadvantaged ecological area of the city, and for many years I have not been able to afford a manicure at the salon.
Last year, we borrowed money from the bank to get the boys ready for school, and we paid for this money for longer than these things lasted them.
Why are you doing this to us, to our people?
I see how many children are added every year, and your grateful citizens are giving birth to more and more generations of slaves. People don't even realize that everything in this country is your business, Russia itself is your profitable piece.
Tomorrow you will take my boys to your barracks to protect your corporation RUSSIA, your lands, banks, energy complexes, oil and everything else.
After all, even all the beautiful buildings in my city were taken by your family.
I don't want to see my children as slaves as we, their parents, have become.
I don't want to see them in your marble offices, so that they don't lose their conscience there, I don't want to see them in the police, so that they don't turn into bandits!
But I can't find any way out of this!
Why, what to teach them, in which institute they will be taught to live with dignity among thieves. I am a teacher, I have a rich inner world, I want to enjoy my profession, my family, but I have accumulated so much despair, fatigue and lack of faith that I have already forgotten how to give myself up to joy.
Marina Tsvetaeva wrote a statement a few days before her death to be accepted as a dishwasher.
They didn't take her, and then she committed suicide. But it was 1941!
I don't see any obvious prospects for my poor country, for people like us.
Our fate is pathetic and miserable.
I don't remember a single year when there was no hope at all.
Something has always fueled my faith and hope for the future.
Now there's only darkness.

My answer:
Unfortunately, this Appeal does not say a word about the claim: WHY DO THEY NOT ACCEPT THE DRAFT LAW PROPOSED BY the Yabloko Party on THE INTRODUCTION OF A NEW BASIC INCOME FOR THE POOR (and those who work BUT RECEIVE PENNIES, like this teacher and her husband, a builder!), so THAT PART OF THE PROFITS FROM SALES WERE NATURAL RESOURCES EXPORTED TO THE POOR, WITHOUT INTERMEDIARIES, WERE FUNDS CREDITED TO PERSONAL ACCOUNTS? Most likely: she DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING about this draft law! Why? Because the government has created such living conditions so that people are busy SURVIVING, but(!) THEY REJECTED POLITICS FOR THEMSELVES - they say it's a dirty business: to engage in politics is to get dirty... And what prevents the adoption of laws PROTECTING CITIZENS? It's simple: the presence of 226 Democratic deputies (remember: demos - the people, Kratos - the government?!), so that there would be DEMOCRACY in practice! 301 deputies of the State Duma can adopt a CONSTITUTIONAL law! And, of course, we must understand that the PRESIDENT of the country is finally signing the law adopted by the Federal Assembly. In order for the laws to be popular, a ROTATION of POWER is necessary so that deputies and presidents understand that they will have to live by the laws they adopt themselves, after their terms of office expire, among their citizens... And we don't have a change of power unless one of the deputies goes to the other world.…
...Perhaps the teacher DID NOT WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE YABLOKO PARTY - "it's rotten!", how propaganda cripples the perception of the world, affecting the consciousness of Russians! By the way, not only Russians - they interfere in the life of other states by various methods, using the principle of usurpers: "Divide and rule!". But we must not forget about another basic principle of the usurpation of power: "Deprive and rule!". That is why Russians have SUCH a SYSTEM of power and life!
What to do? It is an ancient question of Russians... To pay attention to politics, to get involved in ACTIONS, to turn on word of mouth, to inform their environment so that they pass on to others, and those further that it is necessary to support those who have ALREADY PROPOSED A DRAFT LAW ON THE INTRODUCTION OF A NEW BASIC INCOME, so that there are ENOUGH funds FOR EVERYTHING!
"If we don't engage in politics, it ENGAGES US!" Now the ruling ones ARE HIDING BEHIND A DOUBLE in order to make a soft transition of the "transit of power" in order to keep not only themselves at the Trough, but to keep ALL THE GUARDS around them!
From the comments:
Elena Lyalina: "How scary it is to live!"
My answer:
"Elena, the main thing is to share: feel that you are not alone - there are many like you, even though each one is Exclusive!
And it's better to unite with your kind, with like-minded people: join the Yabloko Foundation! This Party has no representation in the State Duma, which means: There are no representatives of ordinary Russians there! Every member of the Party could have joined any other (there were such cases...), but those who could not compromise the principles and interests of ordinary people remained loyal to the Party and its Charter and Programs!
After all, in order for the government to turn to the rights and freedoms of citizens and people, the idea of sending troops to another country would never arise - there is a lot to do in your country!
By the way, our propagandists of usurping power are silent about such a moment: Putin in 2007 (as far as I remember) made a speech at the European forum in which he expressed a desire to unite with the European Union (EU)... But the unification did not happen! Why? Because that side demanded the eradication of corruption in the Russian Federation, but this was absolutely UNACCEPTABLE for the Putin government - THE WHOLE SYSTEM WAS BASED ON CORRUPTION - it was the FUNDAMENTAL STRATEGY OF THE GOVERNMENT! Do you remember the removal of Yeltsin's oligarchs and the creation of a favorable policy for Putin's friends?! How many of them have become billionaires! And I, as a yablochnik, do not propose to "take everything away from them, take it away" - let them SHARE PART OF THEIR PROFITS: "It is necessary to share!"!!!
...Now everything has become complicated - we have caused trouble in Ukraine, which implies the cost of paying reparations!.. Which means that the introduction of a new basic income for low-income Russians will be somewhat delayed.… But! Do not lose heart - believe in changes for the Better - it will come - the thought is material! If millions want to introduce a new basic income for the poor, then this is BEING IMPLEMENTED."
