The adventure of the nose in the Mordor

October 7, 2016 Sergey Mitrofanov

Of course, there are things more important than the case of a nose. For example, an ultimatum to America, presented by the boys. He recreates the scenery of the Caribbean crisis, but with that, in fact, the difference is that in the rapid hit of the USSR there was at least some historiosophical meaning in the 1962 crisis. Perverted, but was. The USSR ideologically imagined himself to be a grave of world capitalism and secretly cherished plans for the World USSR with a single director in the Kremlin. Therefore, pulling missiles closer to the United States was quite in the spirit of this utopia. But what Putin's Russia is achieving is not very clear.

There is a version that to outline the boundaries of its influence, for which the West would be obligated not to go. The most curious thing is that the West, in principle, would not object to such a formulation of the question, since the idea of ​​Firevol is not so bad. On one side, there would be a Euro -Atlantic world with all the charms of civilization and a certain standard of life, and on the other - a certain social uniqueness of the island of Russia. We also call it a Mordor. (I actually did not look at the “Lords of the Rings”, but they say that this name reflects the essence of this uniqueness. Yes, I like the word, something from the “muzzle.”) However, the problem is that no one knows where these boundaries actually go.

If they clearly ran along the borders of Russia, the West would not have any objections. And if we, the bonded Mordorists, could cross these boundaries freely towards the West, when they would get tired of our Mordor, and there would be enough funds for this, even the opposition would have no objections, and this state of affairs could have been preserved for a long time. But the boys-either from the nerves, or by virtue of any defect in the mind-these boundaries are shifted all the time, and the conditions for the escape, on the contrary, are worsening. And now the whole large Slavic Ukraine is considered a zone of interests of Mordor-just because of the threat of the escape of the whole country. For some reason, they grabbed someone else's peninsula-Crimea, although this plunged our entire Mordor into a monstrous confusion. For some reason, they climbed into Syria, and with a clear goal to encounter there with the United States (they say that Assad is to exchange for the same Crimea). For some reason, military planes violate European borders , and submarines defiantly pop up off the coast of sovereign European countries. For some reason, Western politicians are captivated, so that they sow unrest in their own parties. The idea of ​​the boorish “I can because I want” is imposed on the world as a new credo, which is why the world shudders and begins to ask the question: “What can Mordor, and what does Mordor want?” Maybe he became so religious (not in the Orthodox sense, but in the sense of the religion of his third-time and “good news” in Putin) that he is ready for the New Caribbean Apocalypse, which, it seems to them, is shining the kingdom of the Russian world and the Orthodox cross?

This is usually answered in the Kremlin, smiling condescendingly: "We are not psycho, we are committed to international laws, we are for peace and democracy, etc., we are the same Europeans as you, in jackets." And at the same time, 40 million of their subjects for training in bomb shelters are raised with this smile. And at the same time, just in case, weapon plutonium is brought somewhere, which would have previously been disposed of before the eyes of international experts. And the S-300 installation is being taken to Syria ... for what? After all, only Western countries have planes, ISIS does not have them. And for some reason they open a military base near Rostov closer to Ukraine, so that the doubt crept into the fact that the hybrid war will end, and not develop into a non-enytride one. Why all this is so obvious, so defiantly - not very clear. Again there are versions. What is exclusively in order to hesitate their subjects, who, as soon as they wake up from the hangover of the imperial presentation, so immediately ask the question: why are we so poor, boring and vaguely living in the presence of all the necessary and joyful for life? But should we change our boys away from sin?

But again, if the boys were nightmaking only their own street, the sheriffs of the West would look at this matter quite favorably, through their fingers. Maybe with these lumpen it is only necessary. But where is the guarantee that this street will not turn around and will not climb west with full conviction of its rightness, and the boys will not seriously go crazy? Of course, no one can give such a guarantee. Therefore, the West begins to take some measures that ensure security. Reduce business contacts with Mordor. Do not enter into negotiations if they do not have any completely pressing necessity (for example, in order not to accidentally encounter Syria or in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea), not to share scientific achievements-they are not needed, they have all the best, and the icon of the Kazan Mother of God has, and now it would also be nice to deprive the veto in the UN.

Actually, this right of the veto of an unstable group of unfriendly countries has long exhausted itself, since it imitates serfdom, dividing the world into barns and Holopian countries. The Supreme Commissioner was clearly right here. And the veto of the aggressor country, with a failed economy and the archaic worldview of its elite, is generally prohibitive. The West understands this, and Mordor also understands this, and international relations begin to move in the opposite direction: from the farce of exercises in bomb shelters to the tragedy of a very real apocalypse, when the bomb shelters will really be needed. In any case, to the tragedy of the lost post -democratic generation, forced to burn his future in the Putin Puppet Theater of the Absurd.

I promised about the nose, and this is what I say. My colleagues, describing this situation of the trial of it, often use such a passage: they say, the nose, of course, the fascist, his views are disgusting, but the created legal conflict in Russia is even more disgusting. Rather, its obviously unlawful character. And it seems like it turns out that the opposition also distances from the nose, although it stands for the truth. And so it is dashingly pronounced that flies into the brain, as if lubricated with oil.

However, the truth is that the nose is not a fascist, not Ben Laden, but an Internet department. With all the desire (this is only an approach, of course there is no desire), he is not going to wash any Syria from the face of the earth, as he allegedly promises in his “living magazine”, and cannot, is not able to. He is not about bombs at all, but about freedom of speech. I personally know a little nose. And I understand that intellectual provocations are more important for him, and this is obvious, but to pretend that we are dealing with the paradox of the freedom of the word of the Jewish-fascist, unworthy of any acting right, nor defenders of ideal right, nor champions of the 282 articles, nor its neglects. Everything becomes much clear when we agree that we are not dealing with an aggressive freak, but with a social activist who risked himself and his capital in order to prove the unlawful nature of the repressive norm in the Russian Federation.

And in any other normal country, he would have proved this for a long time by his own example, because it is ridiculous to blame people for supporting the government itself, and even fine for it. If, of course, it is not to assume that the nose with his text “excited hatred” to Syria personally Comrade V. Putin, and he, having obeyed the calls of the nose, ordered to bomb Aleppo and the humanitarian convoy. Such a statement is destroyed by the very concept of civil loyalty, and civil non -power, too. And belittles the strong -willed qualities of the dictator. In a normal country, they would have shook a hand for the demonstration of this nose, and an unlawful contradictory article would be thrown into the trash. But not with us.

It seems to be sane people here and there write that this article can be used with good purposes. For example, in defense of Jews against the Nazis. Or in defense of a dull democrat from the Black Hundred Cossacks. In the hands of the liberals, such an option would seem to be a strong weapon of good and light, and in the hands of the "conservatives" - a spell that turns Russia into a Mordor. So let's not give it to the "conservatives"!

However, what classic fantasy teaches us. The fact that what can fall into the hands of the "conservatives" will certainly get there. And most often, such magic things as the 282nd article or what magic rings, normal fairy-tale heroes still tried to bury somewhere-for seven seals so that no one would get them. And even then-in the plot-anyway, some kind of non-tanny girl lost the key, and this someday crawled out, and the fabulous countries covered the mor. And we have this mor is permanent, not fabulous.

So let's support the nose campaign and cancel the 282nd article.
