Hey Sacha,
how are you? What about your flat?
We’re back in istanbul and begin to attend university. The atmosphere in istanbul isn’t more relaxed than in Blegrade, Turkey is attacking the PKK in northern Irak. We have so kind of warrior nationalist wibe around us. Obviously we kept a good feeling about blegrade, the hostel and the few moment we spent together. Probably go back to Serbia during the winter.
I had a multi side question about Russia all around Russian political system and especially the pluralism issue. If you have time, I’ld find interesting you could answer to me. Why opposition is so weak in Russia? Is there an exigence if political pluralism or do people consider as normal not to have a freedom of speech? How is seen the opposition?Is politics an interesting issue for people? What are the most valuable things for them aprt obviously from a decent level of life, security? prestige as you said?How the kremlin consider the political opposition and so political pluralism? Finally what is the conception of poutine, and, more generally, of the elite, of the way the political system is functionning? I mean what is the normal way of ruling the country and what are the roots of these conceptions? How do they conceive the relation between state and society and between state and human being?I know it can the answer can be long, or even the topic of a book. Don’t feel obliged to answer me quickly, I suppose you have muh more important things to do but your answer could light me.
Ciao,
greet the owner of the hostel for us, and if you feel like visiting istanbul tell me, you get an house until july, the date we’ll leave.
Rémi
