Rest on Seliger
From the author
The first thing you see when going beyond the gates of the forum is the armored personnel carrier and the Ministry of Defense camp with the exposition of weapons of the Second World War. A day later, the forum participants will wake a friendly appeal: “You are welcomed by the main organization of our country. The Ministry of Defense loves you! We begin our holiday. ”
This year for the forum is ten years. Experienced faces are crooked - there are fewer politics, more religious conversations and fewer movements. They talk about freedom: “Previously, how was it? Here Putin arrives - the swimming trunks should not dry on the linen ropes, he should not know that you are swimming. ” I note that there are almost no props - even portraits of the president only on stretch marks with quotes between creaky pines. Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, Queen, Dalai Lama and others have the same. Putin is lost. On the evening construction, a video is broadcast from the main scene into the glory of the Motherland - in the video, Kalashnikov’s automatic machine, a harsh bear in a furious throw, a dome of church, a soaring white pigeon and the radiant Gagarin, Nicholas II and the portrait of Stalin are sequentially replaced by each other. Then - the hymn of Russia, during which everyone forms everyone swaying from side towards the line. All this does not fit in my head.
The unpreparedness of the unprepared information develops instantly: my neighbors in the camp, having come from classes, have been sang up Churov’s words for a long time that the election system in Russia is more transparent and better than in other countries of the continent.
The federal channel in a report from the forum echoes the leading one who has declared from the stage: “Seliger” will give you knowledge that you will never receive at the university. ” Indeed, it is difficult to imagine that the candidate of historical sciences at lectures at Moscow State University puts in a row of homosexuals and pedophiles, listing the vices of Europe, and Patyakova from MGIMO tells his students about NATO's occult essence and the possible program of NASA about the coming of the gods of three world religions in the form of holograms. The problem of the world conspiracy of Europe and the United States against Russia could not bypass even a speaker, the lecture of which was about genetically modified products.
In addition to educational events, socially significant are held. One day, the whole camp went to the procession in memory of those who died in Ukraine and Beslan 10 years ago. The director from the stage said strictly: "The event is voluntary and only for those who understand." He understands, as it turned out, the vast majority of forum users. On the way to the temple, the guy runs up to me: "Listen, will not cite?" He couldn’t help him, I offered to do this from a candle in his hand. “It’s not good from a candle somehow, it is sacred,” he said after a few seconds of thoughts. We found an alternative solution together: after all, you can light a twig from a candle, and a cigarette from it.
Now imagine that the next day you wake up under the cacophony in which the anthem of Russia is guessed. On the one hand, it is performed by a military choir with characteristic severity and bassovitality, on the other hand, a sweet female voice for youth rhythms. Then you (once again) include a song where two sisters are sung, which have always been together - Russia and Belarus.
At dinner, the guys themselves are trying to do something about it.
- Lost! - the girl screams. - You said "great" again! Come on now, Grisha!
- I came up with: Green! So no one has said yet. This is for those who love nature, "Greenpeace" ...
“All the same definitions to Russia are put and put in songs,” the meaning of the game explained to my friend, ““ great ”and“ one ”. We come up with others, decided to break the system ... rich!
At the end of the shift, many will have these songs as melodies of mobile phones calls. And someone, leaving, said that he finally learned the words of the most important.
Then lectures. Before the performance of the deputy Yevgeny Fedorov, the girl from his “national liberation movement”, wrapped in a flag in the St. George strip, distributes newspapers: “For Putin, for sovereignty. The problem of the fifth column is illuminated and how to deal with it. ” And then Fedorov says that offshore is actually the problem of the non-systemic opposition. Ukraine is an enemy, president, eternal values, pedo-Europe, Russian Church, attacks of liberals ... In the middle of the lecture, a guy from the St. Petersburg organization from whom I arrived came up to me. She gained supporters and right on the spot, from among the people who came to the forum on their own. “Here it is, some uncle comes serious from your city, everyone was told urgently.” Poltavchenko turned out to be a serious uncle (candidate for governors of St. Petersburg from United Russia.- Ed. ). We stood and cheerfully clapped him-“Half-Taav-Scho!”, While he was in a hurry past, in his affairs, VIP -Hon.
Not attending such lectures or meetings is prohibited. Clearly - the forum is declared educational. The about eighty choopers, the "jaguars" are monitored. In their powers, cutting off the corner of Baiga for the offense. This can be either a serious misconduct, for example, being in your camp during a general fee, as well as untimely exit from the water during bathing, the clock of which is strictly regulated. To observe the powerlessness of adults who left the student in the past, before the chop, cut off corners for visiting the toilet after one in the morning is funny only in the first two days, then it becomes scary. It is terrible because the camp reminds the structure of the police state, that the participants in rare cases defend their position, losing with such insolence not one corner, but two. And three are deportation with the inclusion of the participant in the black list and a letter in the name of the governor of the region or region, whose representative was the violator.
On the penultimate day, there was serious work for the “jaguars”. The youth of just arses, apparently, was completely bored at the most politicized change of the forum, held an unauthorized rally on the main stage with posters like “Cola less than“ Duches ”on the main stage. Disgrace!". Therefore, at the closure of the shift, the crowd from the rostrum separated a dozen guards, organizing a distance. From the stage, luminous bracelets and huge inflatable balls threw into a mass of people. Some of them did not reach the public, the guys ran out of the guards to pick up gifts, and met a hard rebuff. And then we sang the anthem for the last time. "Glory, our Fatherland is free." Hugging. Standing people in black uniforms. “Glory, country. We are proud of you. "
