In the Kremlin

Fuflo

June 11, 2013 George Satarov

The meaning of the word “bullshit” (jargon, neglect) is interpreted as something inaccurate or false, bad and poor-quality. Synonyms: garbage, bullshit, inflation. Thoughtful philologists insist that bullshit usually resorts to wide self -promotion (unlike complete garbage or quiet infection), it is loud and intrusive.

All these beauties of the “great and powerful” were remembered when the “Moscow Komsomolets”, with his inherent immediacy, introduced me and other enthusiastic readers to the project of the manifesto of the Popular Front “For Russia” (this will be called after the congress the dormant dormitory Popular Front).

Honestly, I admit: at first I, with my characteristic naivety, raised and soar (namely in this order). But then, hoping to learn the majestic text by heart, I accidentally, of course, hit those areas of my brain that previously responsible for critical thinking, and now almost atrophied due to the episodic viewing of state television channels. Such thinking, I remembered, is characteristic of comparing statements with each other, with life, with the course of events. As a result, the disappointment that befell me prompted to take up the feather and share the fruits of the use of briefly reanimated areas of the brain. (Agree, already for this one I must be grateful to the Popular Front.)

What conquered me from the very beginning. You must understand me, of course. Firstly: no references to law, democracy, democracy and other rubbish. As well as about a market economy, a favorable investment climate and the like. Tired! The authorities are repeating that everything has long been embodied and fortified, and the opposition is noted that everything has long been broken and destroyed. Tired.

Not a word about the boundless theft of power, about the decline in production, about the flight of capital, about obedient ships, about arrogant officials, about citizens who are afraid of the police more than criminals. There is no talk of a dying education system, about the healthcare system that reduces the Russian population. With unlimited delicacy, the people's -fraudians do not mention the growing xenophobia, which intensified religious obscurantism, that the once “most reading” people in the world have turned into oboldings, who could not be torn from television stew or computer games; We are not reminded that hacks and imitation have become the essence of production, creativity, life, all life, finally. After all, it is inspiring and encouraging it? It's nice to read political texts written by happy people for full idiots.

But all this is not important, because I, getting acquainted in the first reading with the Manifesto project, finally found spiritual scrapers and even slightly stood up with my knees. Think about yourself: finally people appeared who formed the coalition of "national development based on the values ​​of patriotism, citizenship, creation, justice." Moreover, these people understand that "the great country needs great goals."

And here are the goals themselves: new industrialization; “Return to Russia the role of the world generator of new knowledge and scientific discoveries ... Having made education and science the main priorities of development policy”; “To implement the historical mission of Russia as the integration center of the Eurasian space,” and at the same time “preserve and strengthen our unique state-civation state,” and for this “demonstrate an example of civilizational unity based on traditional common values”; “Build an effective state and a socially joint society. To grow a new national elite based on devotion to your country, capable of sacrificing yourself for the sake of a common good. ”

This is such a development strategy, called in the text “unified, necessary and understandable to everyone”, since people's National Fronts consider themselves as “an instrument, a working mechanism of interaction between the state and society, power and the people,” and they will implement this strategy. The method for achieving great goals is as follows:
• rally and cherish the Fatherland;
• “work for the common cause and common good”;
• unite “around common values, historical and spiritual traditions” (further for the incomprehensible they are listed: “Truth. Dignity, justice, conscience, solidarity, love for the homeland)”;
• To realize the formula of the work of the Popular Front - “Cooperation - public control - civil initiative”.

Here it is, the path to happiness, prosperity and greatness! I read it - and brightened.

Problems began with industrialization. If you read this word once, then all sorts of “time, forward!”, “Give it!”, “We will hit with a car industry ...!” And other romance of workdays. And if you do this five times in a row, then some kind of devilry begins. All sorts of vile memories are swarmed in the cranial box: the Gulag is the source of the cheapest and most qualified labor force; sale of wheat and artistic values, confiscation of jewelry and currency to pay for the purchase of equipment and foreign specialists; designers in sharashki; giant stupid construction sites; columns of tanks, which can be surrounded by the globe three times; And the lag, lag, lag ...

I also did not understand why education and science are going to make “the main priorities of development”, and health is not mentioned. Apparently, it is assumed that people should live very creatively, but briefly, like the Evarist Galois, instantly and patriotically burning at work. And how are they going to return the left talents? And who will teach new ones? Their linden candidates and doctors?

Then I remembered how the best Russian thinkers wrote that the historical mission of Russia is to demonstrate dangerous historical dead ends from their own experience, where it is better not to wander. And somehow I got free to embody this mission again. And it immediately ceased to be clear which “state-civation” must be preserved and strengthened. Really the current (Nyu)-repressive-Vorovskoye (uy)? Or Bolshevik? Or monarchical? So, we are either offered to stay in the bright present, or they call in the foggy past. After all, we are offered "civilizational unity based on traditional common values." Moses led people out of slavery. We are offered a single system back. To the Gulag or to serfdom? What of this provides more unity and tradition? And for the sake of this, the future elite should “sacrifice yourself for a common good”, about which there is not a word in the text. Only about the values ​​and unity that crawls out in different views everywhere (“Herd! Do not break!”).

My brains were completely inflamed by bewilderment when I compared all this tradition in unity and solidarity with the task of "returning the role of the world generator of new knowledge and scientific discoveries." How is that!? Based on “autocracy, Orthodoxy, nationality”? Or on the basis of "Proletarians of all countries, connect!"? Then I remembered how Alexanderiiiiiihih this task. He gave freedom to universities. Without any tradition and unity. Gave freedom. But about freedom - not a word. What can be freedom when solidarity and unity are needed!?

The text timidly hints at solidarism. But what? Pierre Peru? He had the main goal of the joint society was the emancipation and disclosure of all human abilities. Or Khomyakov's cathedral solidarism? But he did not separate the unity from freedom and set his task to prevent enmity within society, relying on the Orthodox Church. Have you seen our Orthodox Church in person? Do you believe that she is able to prevent enmity inside society? What do you think about our power in this sense? Here. And I have the same bewilderment. After all, the Popular Front is not going to overthrow the power that created it and turn the Orthodox Church into a Buddhist one.

By the way. And where are they going to grow a new elite “based on devotion to their country, capable of sacrificing themselves for the sake of a common good”? We, on our native soil, so that they, embryos, take an example from the current ones, from top to bottom? Or will they be taken to foreign incubators? And in whose?

After all these issues, I again looked at their road map to the bright future and did not find any arrows-refinements in it, only verbs. Here they are: "Remember and unite." There are, of course, common values. And I begin to sort them out lovingly. "Is it true"; The same, about our life, about which not a word in the manifesto. "Dignity"; Surely the one that is brought up in citizens by our officials and “astronauts” at rallies. "Justice"; This is for sure - about our courts. "Conscience"; Here Immediately recall the journalism of state channels. We saw “solidarity” in the actions of “ours” or at rallies on Poklonnaya Gora. "Love for the homeland"; Its examples are demonstrated by our elite constantly.

That's all. Here is my short way from inflammation to falling into the abyss of disappointment. Then I remembered the term “bullshit” from which I started. And when he was on him, I remembered something else. High -quality, conscientious work is never shy about authorship. Fuflo, advertising himself, usually does not show the authors. So it will be now. Let's check?
