Today I walked all day around the city: the feeling that the President does not at death, but some stranger. No concerns, nothing. Go, have fun, eat ice cream. The mood is more relaxed than.
Twice a day we have the President’s motorcade drives from the residence on the outskirts of downtown. Line up a hundred policemen, on the hour transport allowed on other streets, waving to passers-by that did not fit. And now it is not. Police no, the unit only meet.
At the residence on a typical day a lot of police, transport it in an arc in two or three kilometers circles just to get closer. And now no one [of the policemen] no. Just kind of weird. I even before the gate was reached.
About the first government hospital, where, according to reports, placed the President, relaxed situation. Two policemen sleeping in the car at the checkpoint, some guys [lawn] a hose watering — may not be the case if there was a President.
The feeling that in the air there was a spirit of freedom, no. The police just in the city became smaller, that’s all. Tashkent residents not involved in politics, they fear it like the plague.
Ordinary people, 95 percent, keep the mouths shut and not Express their feelings, so they do not understand. Facebook criticized Karimov, but many of these people in exile, it is safe. On the official websites in the comments praise [Karimov]: “Oh, our President, when will you get well? Who do you have left? Pray to Allah for your health.” But it could be so that give them the freedom they speak another.
