April, 23, 2005 The Perpetuum Mobile of Devilish Authority- 2 And now, as always, the state plays with complexes of the people. People are against the authority, but they do nothing except for patriotic discussions: I have not heard anybody to go to be at war in the Chechen Republic as a volunteer just for an idea. On the contrary, all ideological mummies, patriots of the Kremlin declare together, that she would, certainly, hide her son. She would not let him to go to the war. How?
