He was lucky in his life or was not lucky? The marine infantryman was seriously wounded, but survived. After the Yaroslavl Pedagogical Institute, he was going to a teacher of history in the legendary backbone of the treasury, but was left by the instructor of the regional committee. For the loyalty of the party, he was sent to learn to Columbian University, but then for many years he was under suspicion of "being in the den of imperialism." He rose to the acting Head of the Department of the Central Committee of the CPSU, but was fired, never getting rid of this "acting".
When Khrushchev was filmed, he wrote an explanatory article in Pravda. It is printed without his signature, and “Voluntarism” has become a favorite curse of millions. When the Stalinist article by Nina Andreeva enthusiastically entrusted the supporters of perestroika, he returned his hope to his article in Pravda. Again, an nameless, but made a terrible character for a ditties.
By the will of the party imprisoned in loned hardware namelessness, he gained a popular name only in the midst of perestroika. One surname was not to demolish two heroes of that time. Therefore, the youngest of the celebrities became Yegor, and he, already in sixty, will turn off with gray eyebrows - Alexander Nikolaevich. Many called it easier-"a-en".
Since the time, when the country has honored it with the name-patronymic, a special part of his life begins. All the previous was his biography. All subsequent becomes our history. Numerous enemies hate him quite fairly. I don’t know if perestroika would have happened without him. But that the publicity would not survive - that's for sure.
In millennial Russia, publicity was rarely and span. “If I have to choose between the people without a government and a people without newspapers, then I will choose a newspaper without hesitation.” This is long, long before the radio and television, the famous American said. None of the great Russians said anything like this. Such heresy did not occur to either Catherine or Pugachev. There was no connection between the free word and the abundant table in the popular consciousness. For the most part, the Russians consider silence the security of security. The speaker is equal to the screamer, and screamers bring trouble to both themselves and on others. “Smell - you will get into the first,” Alexander Galich sang. “It is not difficult to become talent, you just need to behave correctly,” wrote Leonid Likhodeev.
Only in this sense A.N. - Not a Russian person. He perceived publicity as matter. He knew how to feel her, weigh, evaluate in nationwide prices. A soft, compliant, not conflict, he again felt like a marine infantryman when he saw enemy ambushes in the path of publicity.
When is the party bonza, which was part of a hundred of the highest officials of the CPSU, felt like a champion of a free word? It is impossible to set the exact date. 25 books that A.N. wrote reflect the difficult evolution of his views. But what is remarkable: nowhere, in the form of a straight or intricate, he did not approve of censorship, prohibition, and interference of power in a spiritual life.
If you remember, the publicity was not the first number in the perestroika protocol. There were also “new thinking”, “doubling of mechanical engineering”, “every Soviet family - a separate apartment by 2000”, not to mention the campaign against alcohol. Everything disappeared, the publicity remained. Do not be Alexander Nikolaevich, she would not have taken place.
The great luck of the personality is to serve the service of their country in its moments fatal. In the late 80s A.N. It turned out not only at the top of his political power. It was also the peak of his energy, knowledge, talent. Political reforms staggered under the blows of the Soviet image of thoughts. Gorbachev was hard, but this severity would become unbearable, if A. N., invariably solid, not accessible to throwing and fears, generously for good, deliberate arguments. He easily and tactfully conveyed these arguments for use to the first person, not looking for other benefits, except for the good of the country.
Then he was kicked out of the party. He no longer entered the holy dozen. They wanted to humiliate him, but gave him freedom. From then to the very last days, his daily work has become the study of the nature of Soviet communism.
If he had not studied, but scolded. He did not analyze, but scolded. He did not comprehend, but ashamed. Shame - not smoke, it does not hang on the gate. Stephen Cohen wrote a laudatory book about Bukharin. The American, without noticing it, followed the channel of Soviet historiography, dividing the Communists into bad and good. For A.N. Such a division does not exist. The figures like Trotsky, Zinoviev, Kamenev, Bukharin perished on the scaffold, which they themselves erected. Studies by A.N. It is shown that not by separate years of folk torment, but by each of their acts, from the very beginning to the very end, Bolshevism tormented and shredded Russia. However, they do not stop at that.
The last book of A.N. Twilight became. In the form, it is similar to summing up. In it, many previous thoughts and conclusions of A.N. Not even, but firmly he went to them all his life. Twilight is not only a story. A.N. He sees how old demons trample the paths again in the soul of their native people: a tendency to simple decisions, a willingness to shove responsibility on others, faith in fairy tales about the sunny tomorrow and the need to subordinate to the one who was the first to capture the Bolly stick.
Did he say too little compliments to remain loved by everyone?
