Uvazhaemiy prepodavatel', you've already taken me to the woodshed over Havel... I wouldn't dare impugn his integrity again!

I was just expanding on your point in #2. And in Zinovievite analysis, the Russian National Bolshevik Party arguments about "repression of their great ideology" are like scholastic debates from the 13 century about how many angels could simultaneousy dance on the tip of the needle.
Ideology is all about the "tuning up" the brains in such a way that ideologized individual would automatically exhibit the desired behavior in socially important situations - essentially, it is a Pavlovian conditioning as applied to the sphere of sociology.
Now, if Putin exhibits all the Pavlovian reflexes, and salivates at the ringing of the bell as expected, how important is it that the bell is set to 420 or 570 Hz and sounds at 80 instead of 82 decibel, for this is what Russian National Bolshevik Party insists on? It is like they would be insisting that Khodorkovsky be given not 9 but 15 years.
The only explanation would be a garden variety commie internecine squabble about minor doctrinal points and personalities (the history is choke full of them).
