Alexandr Mitrofanov is a naturalized Russian, who has lived in Czechia since the eighties…
Through the Eyes of Sasha Mitrofanov: They are Here, What Now?
“We are here!” was heard during Sunday’s demonstration (Sunday 1 February; sorry people I was busy, and could not translate this earlier), which has filled the entire Old Town’s Square and the lower part of the Václav’s Square. The likeness to November of 1989 was not accidental. It was accompanied by “Long live, Pavel!” I don’t have to remind you of what it meant.
I don’t know what it meant but since the protest happened in February. And Petr Pavel was a fucking communist in November 1989, this could have been more akin to February 1948. 😆👌
36 years and few weeks ago the people arrived to a square united in resistance to the rotting communist mare. The frost back then has no longer been coming from the Kremlin. During the frosty weather in Sunday, the people were united by anger that they felt to another kind of disgusting and stupid inhumanity. This [inhumanity] not only has support from the Kremlin but crawls up Moscow’s arse, and has the same manners as the communists.
Sasha immigrated to Czechoslovakia in 1979, and was a journalist for ten years in a communist country. A motherfucking journalist in a communist country.😆👌
Real socialism and Babišism-motoricism are bros. They want to subjugate everything free. The current rabble want to take away the independence of state media and to abolish the service law, which ensures the independence of state employees… (The rest is something about the people in the parties being zeroes, I barely comprehend the sentence in Czech).
The Czech language has produces a wonderful neologism “veřejnoprávní” to describe state media. It translates as public rights media. That is because the public finances state media through a mandatory TV and radio license, the public is presumed to have rights over the content the TV produces. I would much rather have the state finance its own media since I barely watch Czech TV anyway, last time I put it on because my ass was on TV.
The government purposefully changes democracy into ochlocracy, a rule of the mob. The peak of ochlocratization may end up in situations where a change of the authoritarian basis of the state cannot be nonviolent. There isn’t currently a political force in Czechia that is able to comprehend the danger that the country is facing and to stop naively calling upon Babiš to wake up. That’s why the people all stood behind the president, who is defending the pillars of free society.
Czech system is so convoluted that you would have to be a political genius to take control of it all. The current row with the president was over the nomination of Filip Turek as Minister of Foreign Affairs. I personally think the controversy created around Mr. Turek is fake and gay but Turek hasn’t become a minister. Nevertheless, protests continue, one will be tomorrow, (21 March, equinox 2026)
Nobody took Hitler seriously. “Clown!” But when the latter came to power he did what he promised to do. Nobody took Putin seriously, “Temporary weak fool.” However, when he came to power he did what he was trained for and what you could probably expect from him.
Unfortunately, nobody has the power to control things in Germany. The Western nations have driven Germany into Hitler’s arms by excessive war reparations. Reparations for war they have very much engineered. Hitler was a reaction. As far as I am concerned, this is out of control of any politician. Putin from what I hear was appointed by the Russian elite that wanted his kind of politics. I am pretty sure there would have been war in Ukraine even if Putin was not sitting in the Kremlin.
None of those that in Czechia that in despair call: “Where did we arrive?!”, take Babiš and his mob seriously. But they do everything they promised after coming to power. They are in a rush to enact undoable changes to bring Czechia out of European rights sphere into a barbaric Russian subjugation, with which they feel fealty. Babiš with his normalization oligarchic naturel, SPD with their pathological nationalism and the Motorists because Russian elite has cool cars.
The accusation of the current government from pro-Russianness is an overplayed tune by the opposition. I personally avoided voting for the Motorists because of the explicit pro-Ukrainian stance. I voted for SPD. The latter are nationalists headed by a half-Japanese guy and they even have a member of Ukrainian origin. They are against mass immigration and warn about Ukrainian immigrants, especially those that will come after Ukraine loses the war against Russia. This is a valid concern, Ukrainian war veterans will give us a headache. Babiš was a member of the communist nomenklatura during normalization period, that is the time after 1968, and became an oligarch in the nineties. But there weren’t any oligarchs during normalization. This drivel by Mitrofanov combines several magical terms into an incoherent statement that only his readers can understand. Mitrofanov was a journalist during normalization, now he is the biggest critic of communism.😆👌
History is now moving over our heads and is ready to walk over corpses. People who deny this are already here. What happens next?
What comes next is goobers will organize meaningless demonstrations until the steam runs out.
By now the nearest goal is clear. To gather 1 million signatures under a petition in support of the president and to gather on Letná (an open space with a view of the Prague castle) and to show Babiš that Czechia is not only inhabited by amebas. And in case of success to work out a strategy on how to live in country ruled by a mob and to prevent the latter from destroying the county.
I must say they did not gather those desired million signatures but they will organize a demonstration on Letná anyway.😆👌 Because they must work the money they received. How will they cope I don’t know but the previous government had more corruption scandals than Babiš, let alone SPD or Motorists. Now they style themselves into defenders of all good
