&lt;p>I didn’t catch it personally, but I think many recognize the genre of the Soviet editorial: «While cosmic ships plow through the vastness of the universe, certain unconscious citizens indulge in petty bourgeois moods!»&lt;/p>
&lt;p>The text birthed by the Free Russia Foundation, signed by Natalia Arno, Vladimir Milov, and a longtime noname declared as the foundation’s vice-president, Grigory Frolov, is an absolute, distilled classic of this genre. Only instead of «builders of communism,» we now have «globalist visionaries,» and instead of «petty bourgeoisie,» we have the trendy word «resentment.»&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>The 'Russian Opposition Platform'</title><link>https://threads.chez.work/en/posts/pace-platform/</link><pubDate>Sat, 11 Oct 2025 18:35:49 +0300</pubDate><guid>https://threads.chez.work/en/posts/pace-platform/</guid><description>What forced Volkov and Kats to agree with each other?

&lt;p>In any healthy political environment, the «reputation institute» is a mechanism of accountability. It is based on a simple principle: your words and actions have consequences that determine the level of public trust in you.
