一直到去年还经常能听到周围的外国人评论说虽然某某不讲德先生,但却足够聪明务实,知道怎么发展经济改善生活。今年以来再也没听到这种议论了。弗里德曼之前在纽时上写了篇文章,大意是“威权系统都是低信息量的系统,因此它们往往比自己意识到的更盲目。即便真相滤出水面,或是现实变成了更强劲的对手,也很难改变方向,这就是他们终将陷入困境的原因。”我看这次也是。

Bald大叔解释了他为什么被俄罗斯驱逐出境,其实跟我想象得差不多,就是说他批判过普(他有一期在爱沙尼亚的确说过类似的话)。所以俄方说你看着办吧,死鸭子嘴硬就坐牢,大呼普大大万岁就回家,Bald大叔当然是大呼万岁,所以就是驱逐出境而已。但是Bald大叔说监狱长挺好的,还给他好多方便面吃。坐牢是个又可怕又刺激的事,但他没受虐待,而且他也的确圆满了,连牢都蹲过了。
其实Bald大叔这个结局都好像是一件非常典型的俄式经历,就是外人听着特别可怕也不怪人黑,但具体过程好像又没那么可怕,回过头再想也许就像魔幻的一场梦。

I’ve been in bed convalescing for ten days so not been able to discuss what happened in Russia. I will discuss it in future because it is a belter of a story but I was accused of criticising Vladimir Putin. After a few days in the cells I was taken to an office of an MVD officer ( ministry of internal affairs ) who said ‘whether you get just a fine or a long prison stretch depends on how sorry you are for what you said and your justification for saying it.’ In that moment you have a decision to make: either be a hero and get five years in a concrete cell or say ‘Glory to Putin!’ and go home to enjoy your life with your family and friends again. I took the second option without hesitation which is why I’m writing this from my comfy bed and not from a concrete cell in Birobidzhan. I’m not Russian or Ukrainian and won’t be martyring myself for any of their causes. The only shield I’ll ever fall on will be covered in the Union flag 🇬🇧
Anyway before I’m feeling better and speak again I will say that I wasn’t treated badly. In fact the director of the prison ‘Tarass’ was a bloody good bloke who brought me extra noodles to eat ( bloody rolton though and not doshirak 🤨 ). My only regret is I wasn’t there long enough to get a badass Russian prison tattoo. Everything else was cool. Scary as fuck, but cool at the same time to get the ultimate Soviet experience.
Right now my friend @lanasator is languishing in an Albanian prison on trumped up spying charges. I’m working with others to get her decent legal representation and get her home. It’s a dangerous job at times.
I still don’t use Instagram so will delete this post tomorrow but I know people have been intrigued so wanted to comment. Adios amigos.
