People no longer blame the local authorities for their troubles, but the Kremlin - Abbas Gallyamov.

The rally during the flood in Orsk also had political motives.

“There is failure of the mayor. An bad statement by Kurenkov, who accused people of not evacuating. People are outraged by the lies. Discontent begins to seethe and bubble.”

The formula “the king is good and the local officials are bad” has stopped working.

“Putin has ceased to be Teflon. For many years, negativity did not stick to him. People said it was the local's fault. But after 25 years this attitude is changing. When the slogan “Kyiv in 3 days” turned into failures and a lot of bloodshed, the trend finally took shape. People realized that the entire vertical is tied to Putin. Officials are Kremlin appointed, not elected. Responsibility for the actions of them falls on the Kremlin."

Appeals to Putin should not deceive, it's a last hope. If hopes are not met, disappointment is inevitable.
