Leonid Volkov, Navalny’s deputy for political technology, has announced something unprecedented that he is preparing to save his boss many times, and now, he has published it. In effect, he has invented a Free State Project. There, a roll call of those wishing to join the project was conducted first, and only after twenty thousand people wishing to move to the promised land were gathered did the relocation begin. It is the same in our case. Everyone who intends to join the prayer ritual for Navalny’s release from captivity is suggested to first sign up on the website, and only when half a million such people are gathered will the date of the ritual and other details be set.

They say the site crashed almost immediately from the influx of interested people, but by the time I reached it, the only thing indicating the high load was a non-functioning counter. So, the order of magnitude could only be estimated by the circles on the map (however, a report arrived—the 200,000 application mark has been passed). To register, you need to specify your address (you can simply click a point on the map) and a valid email. After the email is verified, the voice of the applicant is counted—at least, the number next to my house on the map increased by one.

There are no options to withdraw a vote, so if the date for taking to the streets turns out to be later than the date of my departure to Montenegro, I will not be able to inform the organizers that I cannot attend.

What can I say about the prospects of the campaign? If the goal were specifically the release of Navalny, one would have to take some Katerina Tikhonova hostage and demand Alexei’s immediate release, threatening this woman with death. As for the chosen toolkit, it is primarily suitable for rocking the boat. Well, okay, let’s rock it, even though it’s already become tiring. This will not help Navalny in any way, but he is a grown boy and knew what he was getting into.
