The founder of the publishing house "Kommersant" Vladimir Yakovlev, who now lives in Israel, urges Russians to leave the country.

About this he wrote on his page in Facebook.

"NO KIDDING

I, honestly, a low opinion about the level of their mental abilities. Those who knows me, can confirm - I do a lot of flaws and oddities. But that intuition like me have never been let down.

And so I write this post.

I am sure that Russia in the near future – weeks, months – it will be one of two scenarios.

Or to change government with absolutely nepredskazuemymi and dangerous consequences. Or – a severe social crisis with street crime, shortages of basic necessities and a real danger to the life and health of citizens.

So, without any jokes:

If possible, GO AND, most IMPORTANTLY, TAKE CHILDREN.

OK, not forever - for two or three months (without a visa), for six months. But to go away. If during this time nothing happens, and the situation will get better, I'll be glad to be wrong.

I understand that those who are 25-30 today, does not feel the reality of such scenarios. I also them at this age is not felt. Until one day neither got back from vacation, no work out the morning sport “Dinamo”, or came from the gym, nor sat in the car and found that with me at a red light in Belarusian there are tanks and other disparate military equipment.

It was the morning of 19 August 1991, the morning of the coup. Three nights in a row, the city of trembling, listening to the gunfire outside. Then all miraculously ended in a bloodbath.

This time the miracle will not be because those who were weak today - strong, and those who were in the country and had the opportunity to influence the situation today in the country there.

Revolutions always happen unexpectedly. The coup in Romania began with a rally in support of its then ruler Ceausescu. The last elections to the Supreme Soviet of the USSR before the collapse of the country were full “support and approval” of its population.

And the civil war in Russia began with the riots in St. Petersburg, about which there is no one in the country knew, and that only many decades later called the “great October revolution”.

It is impossible to consider external assurance of power in itself a sign of stability. There are two classic symptom of close social cataclysms:

1. Overall, the strong discontent of the population no MATTER WHAT (including for very different reasons - but the overall).

2. Division of society, in a healthy version, which is a huge palette of various political opinions into two opposing camps, occupying opposite, devoid of any shades of the positions, equally bearing high emotional charge in relation to each other.

Both of these elements are present in Russia today. My feeling is that the coming catastrophe to avoid anymore. It can only be experienced.

I know that I will not hear, but will say it anyway - you need to stop fighting and to understand who is right. Because it doesn't matter anymore. This may be clarified later. Now it is only important, as we will be saving people – living people, regardless of their political beliefs.

Because soon, very bad, very scary and very dangerous to be everyone.

I think any normal person today, there is no doubt that the government is completely incompetent and really has no effective levers of governance in principle, let alone in a crisis situation.

Generally the situation is that right here, though the Committee of public safety to create. Not to overthrow the regime. She will happily do it on their own, without any help.

And in order to save the people in the situation that the country will in the near future.

I really hope that somebody is smarter and more discerning me - such a Committee quietly and without noise (as is right, by the way) has long been created or creates. Navalny, Khodorkovsky.

But if I'm wrong and there's nothing there, you just need to do immediately. Can even name advise. What 19-20?

In honor of the one night from 19 to 20 August 1991, the night the White House when the country was really United in the common desire to save yourself" - written by Yakovlev.
