“When they came for the communists, I was silent, because I am not a communist. When they came for the Catholics, I was silent, because I am not a Catholic. When they came for the Jews, I was silent, because I am not a Jew. When they came for me, there was no one to protect me.”

[...] let me remind you that Pastor Martin Niemöller, the author of these words, was an ardent nationalist [...] Member of the NSDAP, by the way. Despite the fact that since 1937 he had been in prisons and camps, his hatred of the Soviet Union had not gone away - he wrote petitions to be sent to the front... In 1946, this servile pastor quickly changed his beliefs and noisily admitted the guilt of Germany and COLLECTIVE GUILT of the Germans for the actions of the Nazis. In 1961-68, he was already president of the World Council of Churches, an ecumenical organization that served the interests of the Protestant States.

“In Germany, first they came for the communists, but I didn’t say anything, because I was not a communist. Then they came for the Jews, but I said nothing, because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the trade union members, but I was not a trade union member and said nothing. Then they came for the Catholics, but I, being a Protestant, did not say anything. And when they came for me, there was no one to stand up for me."

And on this occasion completely different words come to mind.

Where are the screamers and sad people now?
They became noisy and disappeared at a young age...
And the silent ones became leaders,
Because silence is golden.

“We talk about the “eternal Jew” and in our imagination the image of a restless wanderer without a home emerges... We see a highly gifted people developing ideas for the good of the whole world, but all this is poisoned and brings them only contempt and hatred, because time From time to time the world notices the deception and takes revenge for it in its own way." He said this in 1937. from the pulpit of the church, one of the most famous opponents of Nazism, Protestant pastor Niemoller. Here, without naming them, he brands the Nazis, comparing them... with the Jews: the Jews are responsible not only “for the blood of Jesus and the blood of his messengers,” but also “for the blood of all the destroyed righteous people who confirmed the holy will of God against the tyrannical the will of man."
It turns out that the Jews are worse than the Nazis: they, the bearers of eternal evil, in alliance with the devil, destroyed myriads.

A submarine captain during the First World War, then a pastor, he supports Hitler, but not wanting to renounce the Christian religion, which the Nazis wanted to replace with pagan myths, he becomes his opponent. From the camp, the patriotic pastor writes to Hitler, asking to go to the front. Freed by the Americans, he took part in the writing of "Stuttgarter Schuldbekkentnis," raising the question of the collective guilt of the Germans. As they say, I feel sorry for the bird... After this, he becomes a pacifist and president of the World Council of Churches, which collaborated with the USSR (1961-68). Advocates for reconciliation with Eastern Europe, goes to Moscow in 1952. and North Vietnam in 1967 Laureate of the Lenin Peace Prize 1967
Speaking in March 1946 in Zurich, Niemöller said: “Christianity has a greater responsibility before G-d than the Nazis, the SS and the Gestapo. We should have recognized Jesus in the suffering and persecuted brother, despite the fact that he was a communist or a Jew...”
It’s flattering to read this “despite”!

Some German theologians wanted to get rid of the Jews peacefully, others preferred total extermination. [...] Niemöller did not stand aside, silently observing what was happening, but zealously, with the Christian zeal of a follower of Martin Luther, who demanded that the Jews be burned, prepared this Catastrophe, with his sermons kindling an all-consuming fire in the hell of the German spirit, infused with beer, the music of Wagner and the "Aryan race" theory.

Today, Niemöller's words are being remade in their own way by Muslims and their left-wing defenders. “Niemoeller is an example of a staunch opponent of the Nazis who was also a staunch anti-Semite,” concludes D. J. Goldhagen. References to Niemöller are contrary to historical justice and Jewish dignity. They insult the memory of 6 million kadoishim, who bequeathed to us: not to forget and not to forgive.

It is not uncommon to come across this expression "When they came for the communists, I was silent. I was not a communist...", sometimes without attribution, where groups of people are listed who are united by a certain characteristic (political views/membership of a party named after one/religious-ethnic characteristic). The order of listing, as well as the groups of people, vary. What exactly did the priest of the Evangelical Church Martin Niemöller say?
But first, a little about him:
Martin Niemöller ( Martin Niemöller) (the following variants of his surname in Russian are also found: : Niemöller, Niemeller) born January 14, 1892 in Lipstadt ( Lippstadt) in the family of the Lutheran priest Heinrich Niemöller ( Heinrich Niemöller). He worked his way up from an officer on the submarines Thüringen and Vulkan to a priest in the parish of the Evangelical Church in the Berlin district of Dahlem. Martin Niemöller sympathized with the National Socialists in the 20s of the 20th century. He did not welcome the Weimar Republic, but he did welcome the introduction of the Fuhrer's state in 1933. However, he hated mixing water. expressions and religion. He is one of the founders in May 1933 of the Young Reformers Movement ( Jungreformatorische Bewegung), uniting evangelical priests and theologians who opposed the Union of German Christians ( Deutschen Christen (DC)). Mitteilungsblatt der Deutschen Christen (notice to German Christians, Weimar, 1937)

The "Young Reformers" were, however, quite loyal to Hitler and sometimes stated this, but they pointed out that the Church should be independent even from the Fuhrer. Then there was the founding of the so-called Confessional Church (Bekennenden Kirche), the initiator of which was, among other things, Martin Niemöller. The theological foundation of this church was the “Barmen Declaration” adopted on May 31, 1934 in the city of Barmen (now Wuppertal) by the Extraordinary Synod of Lutheran Priests, six articles of which contain theological argumentation in defense of the spiritual freedom of Christians and affirm the dependence of the church solely on God. ( full text in German). In particular, it stated:
“We reject the false teaching that the state supposedly should and can, going beyond the scope of its specific task, become the only and total order of human life and thereby also take on the tasks of the Church. We reject the false teaching that the Church supposedly should and can, going beyond the scope of its specific task, appropriate to itself the appearance and tasks and dignity of the state and thereby itself turn into an organ of the state.”
Wir verwerfen die falsche Lehre, als solle und könne der Staat über seinen besonderen Auftrag hinaus die einzige und totale Ordnung menschlichen Lebens werden und also auch die Bestimmung der Kirche erfüllen. Wir verwerfen die falsche Lehre, als solle und könne sich die Kirche über ihren besonderen Auftrag hinaus staatliche Art, staatliche Aufgaben und staatliche Würde aneignen und damit selbst zu einem Organ des Staates werden.

In January 1934, Niemöller, along with other religious leaders of the Churches, met with Hitler. Since Niemöller, for religious reasons, did not even then accept the use of the “Aryan Paragraphs” ( Arierparagraphen) on priests, he is fired, he is forbidden to speak, but he disobeys the order and continues to preach sermons. Then in 1935 followed the arrests of Niemöller along with several hundred other priests, his temporary release, and further arrests. In 1937, Niemöller was arrested and in 1938 became a prisoner of the KZ Sachsenhausen. From 1941 to 1945 he was a prisoner of the KZ Dachau.
I will add a brief overview of the biography until 1937 during the period

A description of the events, again brief, that took place in 1933.

January 4, 1933- agreement between Hitler and Franz von Papen (Franz von Papen) in the house of a banker about the formation of a government.
January 30, 1933 President Hindenburg (Hindenburg) appointed Hitler as Reich Chancellor.
February 15, 1933 A NSDAP propaganda march takes place in Leipzig.
February 19, 1933 A demonstration of trade unions with communists and social democrats against Hitler's government takes place in Leipzig.
February 22, 1933 As a reaction to the demonstration, all activities on the part of the Communist Party were prohibited there.
February 23, 1933 Social Democrat Walter Heinze assassinated (Walter Heinze) stormtroopers from the NSDAP.
February 23 1933 In Berlin, police and stormtroopers finally capture the Headquarters of the Communist Party
Over the course of several weeks, several thousand communist functionaries throughout Germany were taken into custody by stormtroopers, killed, or forced to flee abroad.
February 27, 1933 The Reichstag is on fire. In it, left-wing anarchist Marinus van der Lubbe is captured (Marinus van der Lubbe), who left the ranks of the Dutch Communist Party back in 1931. Even on the night of the fire Goering ( Hermann Göring) as Prussian acting The Minister of the Interior declares an attempt to revolt on the part of the Communists.
February 28, 1933 In 2010, the Reich President's Order on the protection of the people and the state was issued. The justification for issuing the Instruction is where it was said about the possibility of using military force in the event of a violation of security and order in the country.
The Order talks about protection from the violent actions of communists. Paragraph 1 of the Regulations allows: restriction of personal freedom of persons, restriction of freedom of expression. Encroachment on the right to confidentiality of correspondence, etc. is permitted.

Early 1970s Niemöller participates in a demonstration in Bonn against the Vietnam War.
IN 1980-83 Niemöller is a co-initiator of the Krefeld Appeal (Krefelder Appell), which calls on the German government to demand unilateral disarmament in NATO, as well as a refusal to deploy Pershing 2 missiles and cruise missiles in Central Europe (die Zustimmung zur Stationierung von Pershing-II-Raketen und Marschflugkörpern in Mitteleuropa zurückzuziehen;). It also called for preventing Central Europe from becoming a US nuclear platform. ( eine Aufrüstung Mitteleuropas zur nuklearen Waffenplattform der USA nicht zulässt)

Friedrich Gustav Emil Martin Niemöller was born on January 14, 1892 in the German city of Lipstadt. He was a famous German pastor who adhered to religious views Protestantism. In addition, he actively promoted anti-fascist ideas during the Second World War and advocated peace during the Cold War.

Beginning of religious activity

Martin Niemöller was trained as a naval officer and commanded a submarine during the First World War. After the war he commanded a battalion in the Ruhr region. Martin begins to study theology in the period from 1919 to 1923.

At the beginning of his religious activity, he supported the anti-Semitic and anti-communist policies of the nationalists. However, already in 1933, Pastor Martin Niemöller opposed the ideas of nationalists, which was associated with Hitler’s rise to power and his totalitarian policy of homogenization, according to which it was necessary to exclude employees with Jewish roots from all Protestant churches. Due to the imposition of this "Aryan paragraph", Martin, together with his friend Dietrich Bonhoeffer, created a religious movement that strongly opposed the nationalization of German churches.

Arrest and concentration camp

For his opposition to Nazi control of German religious institutions, Martin Niemöller was arrested on July 1, 1937. A tribunal held on March 2, 1938 convicted him of anti-state actions and sentenced him to 7 months in prison and a fine of 2,000 German marks.

Since Martin was detained for 8 months, which exceeded the term of his conviction, he was released immediately after the trial. Nevertheless, as soon as the pastor left the courtroom, he was immediately arrested again by the Gestapo organization, subordinate to Heinrich Himmler. This new arrest was most likely due to the fact that he considered the punishment for Martin too favorable. As a result, Martin Niemöller was imprisoned in Dachau from 1938 to 1945.

Article by Lev Stein

Lev Stein, Martin Niemöller's prison companion who was released from the Sachsenhausen camp and immigrated to America, wrote an article about his cellmate in 1942. In the article, the author sets out quotes from Martin that followed his question about why he initially supported the Nazi party. What did Martin Niemöller say to this question? He replied that he often asks himself this question and every time he does it, he regrets his action.

He also talks about Hitler's betrayal. The fact is that Martin had an audience with Hitler in 1932, where the pastor acted as an official representative of the Protestant Church. Hitler swore to him to defend the rights of the church and not to issue anti-church laws. In addition, the people's leader promised not to allow pogroms against Jews on German territory, but only to introduce restrictions on the rights of this people, for example, to take away seats in the German government and so on.

The article also states that Martin Niemöller was dissatisfied with the popularization of atheist views in the pre-war period, which were supported by the Social Democratic and Communist parties. That is why Niemöller had high hopes for the promises that Hitler gave him.

Activities after World War II and merits

After his release in 1945, Martin Niemöller joined the ranks of the peace movement, a member of which he remained until the end of his days. In 1961 he was appointed president of the World Council of Churches. During the Vietnam War, Martin played an important role in advocating for its end.

Martin was instrumental in approving the Stuttgart Declaration of Guilt, which was signed by German Protestant leaders. This declaration recognizes that the Church did not do everything possible to eliminate the threat of Nazism even in the initial stages of its formation.

The Cold War between the USSR and the USA in the second half of the 20th century kept the whole world in tension and fear. At this time, Martin Niemöller distinguished himself for his activity in maintaining peace in Europe.

After the nuclear attack on Japan in 1945, Martin called US President Harry Truman "the world's worst murderer since Hitler." Martin's meeting with North Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh in Hanoi at the height of the war in that country also caused strong indignation in the United States.

In 1982, when the religious leader turned 90, he said that he began his political career as a hardline conservative and was now an active revolutionary, then added that if he lived to be 100, he might become an anarchist.

Disputes about the famous poem

Beginning in the 1980s, Martin Niemöller became well known as the author of the poem "When the Nazis Came for the Communists." The poem tells of the consequences of tyranny, which no one opposed at the time of its formation. What is special about this poem is that many of its exact words and phrases are disputed, since it was largely transcribed from Martin's speech. Its author himself says that we are not talking about any poem, it is just a sermon that was delivered during Holy Week in 1946 in the city of Kaiserslautern.

It is believed that the idea of ​​writing his poem came to Martin after he visited the Dachau concentration camp after the war. The poem was first published in printed form in 1955. Note that the author of this poem is often mistakenly called the German poet Bertolt Brecht, and not Martin Niemöller.

"When they came..."

Below we give the most accurate translation from German of the poem “When the Nazis Came for the Communists.”

When the Nazis came to take away the communists, I was silent because I was not a communist.

When the Social Democrats were put in prison, I was silent because I was not a Social Democrat.

When they came and started looking for trade unionists, I did not protest because I was not a trade unionist.

When they came to take away the Jews, I did not protest because I was not a Jew.

When they came for me, there was no one left to protest.

The words of the poem clearly reflect the mood that reigned in the minds of many people during the formation of the fascist regime in Germany.

Recently, the words of Martin Niemöller have become very popular among Jews:
“In Germany they came for the communists first, but I didn’t say anything because I wasn’t a communist.
Then they came for the Jews, but I remained silent because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the union members, but I was not a union member and did not say anything. Then they came for the Catholics, but I, being a Protestant, said nothing. And when they came for me, there was no one to stand up for me." (the exact text was confirmed by M. Niemöller’s wife)
The range of strings touched in the Jewish soul extends from the Jewish settlers of Eretz Israel to the teaching-hungry popularizers of all kinds of knowledge. But this is not enough: the words of the anti-fascist pastor, distorted in a Jewish way, are printed in the form of a poem and even on the wall Yad Vashem!
In the article “Catastrophe,” published in an American Russian-language newspaper, the following is written: “Well, those who were not executioners, who stood aside and silently watched what was happening, did they understand that they were, at the very least, accomplices? Pastor Nemoller (sic!) understood: “First they came for the Jews and I didn’t say anything”...
[In the same article: “400 thousand Germans were intermarried with Jews.” By December 31, 1942 there were mixed marriages: in the Old Reich 16,760, in Austria 4,803, in the protectorate 6,211, total - 27,774. Report by SS-Statistician Korherr, April 19, 1943 NO-55193, R. Hilberg. The destruction of the European Jews]

Who was the good pastor?

“We talk about the “eternal Jew” and in our imagination the image of a restless wanderer without a home emerges... We see a highly gifted people developing ideas for the good of the whole world, but all this is poisoned and brings them only contempt and hatred, because time From time to time the world notices the deception and takes revenge for it in its own way." He said this in 1937. from the pulpit of the church, one of the most famous opponents of Nazism, Protestant pastor Niemoller. Here, without naming them, he brands the Nazis, comparing them... with the Jews: the Jews are responsible not only “for the blood of Jesus and the blood of his messengers,” but also “for the blood of all the destroyed righteous people who confirmed the holy will of God against the tyrannical the will of man."
It turns out that the Jews are worse than the Nazis: they, the bearers of eternal evil, in alliance with the devil, destroyed myriads. But after the war, the pastor said words that, together with his privileged stint in the “der Bunker der Prominente” in Dachau and Sachsenhausen, won him a place in the fictional pantheon of German fighters against Nazism, and even the title of defender of the Jews.
A submarine captain during the First World War, then a pastor, he
supports Hitler, but not wanting to renounce the Christian religion, which the Nazis wanted to replace with pagan myths, becomes his opponent. From the camp, the patriotic pastor writes to Hitler, asking to go to the front. Freed by the Americans, he took part in the writing of "Stuttgarter Schuldbekkentnis," raising the question of the collective guilt of the Germans. As they say, I feel sorry for the bird...

Speaking in March 1946 in Zurich, Niemöller said: “Christianity has a greater responsibility before G-d than the Nazis, the SS and the Gestapo. We should have recognized Jesus in the suffering and persecuted brother, despite the fact that he was a communist or a Jew...”
It’s flattering to read this “despite”!

Pious deeds of the church fathers

The unity of the German people was best demonstrated in its attitude towards the Jews. The good Germans, who sheltered Jews not for money or out of a desire to buy their lives at the end of the war, make up a tiny group. The German people have risen to the pinnacle of the meanness of the truly Teutonic spirit, as F. Nietzsche once predicted. The entire people, led by the Christian Church, took part in the murder and division of the loot.
One of the moral standards of the German nation, Bishop Otto Dibelius, in 1928. proposed to ban Jewish immigration for the peaceful disappearance of Jews, and after announcing a boycott of Jews in April 1933, he declared that he had always “been an anti-Semite... It is impossible not to admit that in all the destructive manifestations of modern civilization, Jewry plays a leading role.”
Pastor G. Grüber, the very humane head of the Bureau of Assistance to Baptized Jews, a witness at the Eichmann trial, who was even arrested in 1940. for protesting against the deportation of Jews, in 1939. criticized the Danes for rejecting the concept of the idea of ​​"rootless Jews," which was "happy to talk about in Nazi Germany. From 1919 to 32, Jews controlled the finances, economics, politics, culture and press of Germany. It was truly Jewish domination."
In one of the main documents of resistance to Nazism, prepared by
on the initiative of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who supported the Nuremberg Laws, (another anti-fascist hero and favorite of the Jewish ignoramuses), there was a “Proposal for the solution of the Jewish problem of Germany”: “We confirm that the new Germany will have the right to take steps to reflect the disastrous influence of this race on our people " The condemnation of genocide says that in the future Jews may even be allowed into Germany: they are now too few "to be dangerous."
Members of the legendary resistance to Hitler shared his views on the Jews: during interrogation by the Gestapo, the conspirators on July 20, 1944. stated that they generally agreed with the authorities' policies. As the brother of Claus von Stauffenberg, who planted the bomb on Hitler, said: "In the sphere of domestic policy we welcome the basic principles of the Nazis... The concept of race is quite reasonable and inspires hope."
Even the execution of 33,771 Jews on September 29-30, 1941. at Babi Yar, rumors of which spread widely in Germany, did not soften church hatred of Jews. That same month, Protestant leaders issued a declaration declaring "the impossibility of saving the Jews by baptism because of their special racial
constitution" and placed responsibility for the war on these
"natural enemies of Germany and the whole world...
Therefore, it is necessary to take the most severe measures
against the Jews and throw them out of German soil."

The Church, on its own initiative, supported the extermination of the Jews. “This proclamation, a sanction for genocide, is a unique document in the history of Christianity,” writes D.Y. Goldhagen (“Hitler’s willing executioners”)
Bishop A. Mararens, speaking in August 1945 about the sins of the church, noted that the Jews caused “a huge disaster” to the German people and deserved punishment, “but more humane.” How saturated he and all the other clergy are with anti-Semitism: even after the war he sees the need for “punishment,” only “more humane”! Bishop T. Wurm assured,
that he would not say “a single word” against the right of the authorities to fight the Jews as a dangerous element that corrodes “the religious, moral, literary, economic and political spheres.”

Don't forget and don't forgive!
Some German theologians wanted to get rid of the Jews peacefully, others preferred total extermination. But on the main point, the church agreed with the Nazis: the Jews crucified and did not recognize Jesus and therefore must disappear. In addition, the church declared itself the New Israel, which now became the beloved son of G-d, and the true Israel had to join Christianity or disappear from the face of the earth.
Niemöller did not stand by, silently observing what was happening, but zealously, with the Christian zeal of a follower of Martin Luther, who demanded that the Jews be burned, prepared this Catastrophe, with his sermons kindling an all-consuming fire in the hell of the German spirit, infused with beer, Wagner's music and the theory of the "Aryan race" "
Today, Niemöller's words are being remade in their own way by Muslims and their left-wing defenders. “Niemoeller is an example of a staunch opponent of the Nazis who was also a staunch anti-Semite,” concludes D. J. Goldhagen. References to Niemöller are contrary to historical justice and Jewish dignity. They insult the memory of 6 million kadoishim, who bequeathed to us: not to forget and not to forgive.

Do you know Martin Niemöller? Maybe you don’t know... Martin Friedrich Gustav Emil Niemöller (German: Martin Friedrich Gustav Emil Niemöller; 1892 - 1984) - Protestant theologian, pastor of the Protestant Evangelical Church, one of the most famous opponents of Nazism in Germany, president of the World Council of Churches (from Wiki- quotation book).

In November 1945, Niemöller visited the former Dachau concentration camp., where he was a prisoner from 1941 to April 1945. His diary entry shows that this visit was the impetus for the future famous quote. There are several versions of this quote that differ slightly from each other. Most likely, it was first uttered in1946. It was first published in printed form in 1955(from Wikipedia).

And here is the quote:
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent.
I was not a communist.

When they imprisoned the Social Democrats,
I said nothing.
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the union members,
I didn't protest.
I was not a union member.

When they came for the Jews,
I wasn't outraged.
I was not Jewish.

When they came for me
there was no one left to stand up for me.

Als die Nazis die Kommunisten holten,
habe ich geschwiegen;
ich war ja kein Kommunist.

Als sie die Sozialdemokraten einsperrten,
habe ich geschwiegen;
ich war ja kein Sozialdemokrat.

Alsie die Gewerkschafter holten,
habe ich nicht protestiert;
ich war ja kein Gewerkschafter.

Alsie die Juden holten,
habe ich geschwiegen;
ich war ja kein Jude.

Alsie mich holten,
gab es keinen mehr, der protestierte.

There are many allusions to this statement. I’ll also add to this list (if no one is ahead of me, I’m really asking for it).

When they came for the government workers,
I remained silent.
I was not a government employee.

When they imprisoned ordinary workers and employees,
I said nothing.
I was not a simple worker and employee.

So far, there is nothing to add to the quote, because from the quote “members of trade unions”, and from reality - to the military personnel - They haven’t arrived yet, they’re just preparing the ground. And I must say that they prepare it very carefully. This video explains exactly how:

If anyone doesn’t understand, we are talking about pension reform. It all started with the fact that the retirement age was raised for civil servants - from January 1, 2017 (accordingly,The Federal Law on this was adopted on May 23, 2016 ) :

The age limit for civil servants increases by six months every year. Thus, male civil servants will be able to apply for an insurance pension from the age of 65 by 2027, and female officials will receive an insurance pension from the age of 63 by 2032.

In this regard, the minimum length of service in the civil service, which gives the right to a long-service pension, is also increasing from 15 to 20 years.

The norms established by the adopted law apply to persons holding both federal and regional government positions, as well as municipal employees.

They want to do something cooler with the rest of the people - every year they are going to increase the retirement age by one year (starting from 2019). It turns out that every second year until 2028 there will be no new pensioners, and for women - until 2034 (with the exception of civil servants, for whom the retirement age change step is equal to six months).

For the military, it seems, there should have been no changes to the retirement age, as the reformers promised (the same Dmitry Medvedev). Ah, no. It is planned - and still as planned (see video above).

Most likely, the goal of the reformers is to completely avoid the social responsibilities of the state, despite the fact that they are proclaimed by Article 39 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation:

Article 39

1. Everyone is guaranteed social security by age, in case of illness, disability, loss of a breadwinner, for raising children and in other cases established by law.

2. State pensions and social benefits are established by law.

3. Voluntary social insurance, the creation of additional forms of social security and charity are encouraged.

If this happens, it will be a complete rejection of all the gains that our fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers made when they carried out the socialist revolution in Russia. After all, before the revolution, in principle, there was no free health care and education, social security for old age and illness... Well, and again soon there will not be. If only the people would remain silent!

Citizens of Russia! The welfare state is in danger! SubscribeAppeal to the president:

“We ask you to immediately take measures that mark the beginning of a new, illiberal, socially conservative course:

1. Categorically reject the pension reform.

2. Dismiss the government that dared to put forward such a predatory and insulting reform.

3. Return the country’s public policy to the principles of the welfare state defined by the Constitution: reverse the policy of commercialization of the healthcare and education systems, which makes quality medical care and education practically inaccessible to the majority of the country’s citizens.

4. Present to the people a fundamentally new social-conservative strategy before the end of 2018.

5. Create not just a new government, but a government of people’s trust, that is, a socially conservative government, fundamentally different from all other post-Soviet governments.” .

Otherwise, there will be no one left to stand up for you.
