So, the thirtieth of April in Moscow will host the first Congress of the Russian Union of carriers of Russia. First we have to declare itself publicly in the country. Our Association and our Congress is only the beginning, the first sign in the history of serious and inevitable process of uniting all citizens of the country. Together we are the power, these are not empty words.
Show completely… And we will prove it. And again: we are not against parties and, in principle, ready to cooperate with them, but let them first show us something more or less similar to what can be called political achievement. And then at the next election, each of us, truckers and non-truckers, just Russian citizens – we each may react to your candidates with great compassion and seriousness. And it turns out as long as in that joke about the fish: “fish fire away! – So do not have well fish! – Fish will be then, and you still go ahead fire away!” To fry fish without a fish we won’t.
First we have to declare itself publicly in the country. Since the first days of December, when our truck stopped in the Parking lot of MEGA (Khimki), and we are just trying to understand what was happening and what to do next, and why not coming to us journalists of official TV channels, our Parking lot very quickly was the focus of political attention. In essence, who we were at that time? Before knew neither each other, nor even any parties people, regular drivers, who at that time joined only our common interest to resolve the situation with Plato, to seek its abolition and to calmly continue to turn the steering wheel, to earn, to feed their families.
The farther and longer we are seeing another inflaming the race, the stronger our suspicion: all political structures, parties, politicians – they live and act to lobby for their vested interests, they simply do not hear and are not going to hear ordinary citizens. I say – well, what’s wrong, in fact, in self-interest? Money, career, power, fame – all this motivates to activity… Greed itself is not bad and not good, in the end, even the most unselfish volunteer-philanthropist – there is some self-interest. For example, to look in someone’s eyes or their own good man, and what is not greed? Well, or to catch the inspiration for poems, songs or to collect materials for socio-psychological research. Khimki as a field for research. Greed? Quite greed. And that’s OK. But it was she, greed is harmful and dangerous in the event that a substitute for himself when the interests of a common cause. And that we see quite often: taking the Deputy chair, self-serving politician of the time completely forget about their voters, and decides to continue some of his hidden from the world problems, and in the meantime everything continues to crumble, and now the richest oil nation spends on TV campaign “give grandma wood”… So greed gives rise to corruption.
Our profession of the owner-carrier – in deliberate conflict with the ideology of communism. Or the Communists are now “not real” – but then what do they mean? Or entrepreneurs-truckers are ready to get rid of their UI and replenish themselves honest proletarian ranks of state-owned enterprises? If neither, then why would the Communist party to help us? So, we are talking about some small tactical wins that the Communist party intends to obtain at our expense, and then, having reached the authorities, after some time to think about your strategy and change tactics, she’s done this before. That is, to replace the new NEP will come a new “war communism” and all that will follow. Why should we, the truckers, right now to equip yourself more and this suicide? Today for any party right now, on the eve of elections – not to their own strategies. They need to ride if not us, then at least for PR, our high popularity, the temptation is great. Learn, as they say, materiel.
All this is sad, naturally, everywhere, all the time. We all see it. Not just the same as
we are constantly asked about the same: do the movement of truckers also politically oriented, party-biased and thus doomed to play by someone else’s rules? So: will not.
Exactly with this aim – independence, non-partisanship, for the sake of a strong, determined and civilized counteraction to lawlessness and lawlessness we are creating across the country, our professional Association of freight forwarders. Create their and urge all our citizens, all existing professions, because, one way or another, “Plato” is now pressed everyone, raiding and “a thousand ways of obtaining money from the population” – are gaining momentum.
