Reflexes
May 6, 2005 Viktor Shenderovich
The trampled football CSKA reached the final of the UEFA Cup, which is fine.
Closer to the end of the match, when the positive context became completely obvious, keen up to the superiors of the television camera, as usual, grabbed several familiar figures in the midst of VIP.
Well, of course.
Putin on the telephone team of Yumashev appeared in the two thousandths of the last set of the Kremlin Cup in the Olympic - the go -ahead was given at the moment when Kafelnikov began to undoubtedly win ... Putin's team needed no less than Kafelnikov, and the dear Vladimir Vladimirovich was taken to the tribunes to fix the conditional reflex: Where Putin is - there is victory.
(Find, by the way, ten differences. Boris Nikolaevich goes to tennis all the time - sits evil and terrible when ours lose; when they win - he can get to the railing of the railing, to the delight of the French television and the horror of Naina Josephovna ... Putin came to tennis a couple of times, strictly on the work: to pick up a positive context.
A strong impression on the Russians was made by the coming to the match with Wales, before the elections to the State Duma, the United Russia group led by Gryzlov. Khokhlov-Sychev’s ligament was shown less often than Gryzlova-Shoyogu, but football players, pests, and did not score, and the laboratory all-Russian dog felt bewilderment.
How is it: there is a gryzlov-show, but there is no victory?
But this is not about that.
... CSKA still won. And the trained television camera of the federal television channel quickly found the necessary people in the VIP. Since at the moment there was no particular practical need to strengthen in a laboratory dog positive conditional reflexes, Gryzlov was not found in the box. There were, however, others, and the commentator of the Sport federal television channel recognized them all.
Almost everyone.
“Here,” he said, “Shoigu, Fetisov, Shantsev ... other famous people.”
There were no other famous people at that moment in the frame, except Koloskov, a long -term, but now former chief of all Russian football. His surname is the commentator and could not say on the air.
I don’t know the name of the commentator himself. Doesn't matter. It is important that a year ago, and five years ago, he would have recognized Koloskov, and fifteen years ago he would have begun to transference from him ...
Sad.
Not for Koloskov, of course.
We were allowed to be freedom, but forgot to give dignity. And this is not about the authorities. It, in essence, was therefore the superiors that it has no idea about this matter. What is the demand with Gryzlov? Look only once in the face and cross himself. These characters are cut off, but what are we?
What would the commentator take a chance, what is he calling the surname Koloskov?
Yes, nothing.
But he also has a reflex, and it is possible that hereditary. The language refuses to pronounce the disgraced surnames aloud. It’s scary to think how many generations and how the state developed this reflex in its ancestors.
But our ancestors are a thing of the past, and now we ourselves lower the bar of the profession, taste, just the bar of the inaccessible ... We make it so low that children will need to bend into three deaths to comply with our dwarf concepts.
Commentator! I beg you: you will see the next time on the rostrum of Koloskov, so say: Koloskov! I promise you, everything will be fine.
