&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. It is a system of checks and balances that, like an immune system, rejects unethical, dishonest, and incompetent actors, preventing them from lingering in the public sphere. But in the Russian opposition, this mechanism has mutated into its opposite: it has become not an immune system, but an autoimmune disease that devours healthy cells while protecting cancerous tumors.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Zheleznyakgate.
