The Revolutionary

Nastya: I hate the oligarchic system covered up by the силoviks. I hate corruption that destroys the principles of fairness and kindness. All this ruins what is already not sweet life for my fellow citizens. And now I’m on the path of war. I organize many rallies, even though I’m only 20. And yes, I was born when this stupid system was already in place. But it’s exactly the kind of youth that I grew up with that can change something.

Kolya: Yes, I’m young, but I already got the position of Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs. Life is wonderful; everything comes easily to me. Only these oppositionists irritate me—they’re clearly funded from abroad. Just today, when our guys were dispersing an unauthorized rally, a girl gave me flowers and her stunning smile. Now I’m looking for her, and I’m not even ashamed that for my whim I’m using all the resources that are available to me.
