We must dream! Part III

What are they talking about from the barrels, if we return to demographics? About the main thing, of course. For example, from a resource tank called “Cyril and Methodius” they ask: how does the demographer Vishnevsky (by the way, one of the best in the country) dare to write about the problems of the Russian people, if he used to have the last name Rabinovich?!

A similar question from a neighboring resource of folk wisdom: how can labor migration expert Zhanna Zayonchkovskaya (also one of the best) dare to talk about attracting guest workers to the Far East, if the patriotic deputy from the LDPR Kuryanovich personally included her in the list of enemies of the Russian people?! Then, however, fearing the court and the party anger of V.V. Zhirinovsky, he removed the list from the site - but in vain. By God, in vain. Not out of bileness - it was interesting from a purely educational point of view. For example, for some reason there were journalists Radzikhovsky and Panyushkin, but there was no, say, Minkin, Khryun with Stepan or Cheburashka. Okay, if Cheburashka is an uninteresting enemy, then take at least the demographer Viktor Perevedentsev, who is Zhanna Zayonchkovskaya’s husband and writes about the same thing as her.

Otherwise there is some kind of incompleteness. Or does he pass for you as a member of the family of an enemy of the people?

In short, I would like to understand the selection system.

However, what system? Tea is not in Germany. It's nature! A competent lady turned up under a hot hand - to her wall. It didn’t turn up - well, go for a walk, science, until next time. Look, don't cough. We guys aren’t evil in principle, you’re just annoying us, you eggheads!

...In front of him is Jesus Christ in a white crown of roses.

It’s this broad, native nature that I love. And, partly, I study.

But Blok is not. For some reason I don’t like Blok. Probably in vain.

A lovely example of asymmetry in relationships. On the one hand, there are dozens of qualified specialists, candidates and doctors of science (I have to remind you, of various nationalities), who spend their entire lives doing calculations, comparing methods, arguing, getting nervous - and in the end coming to some conclusion. This, they say, is absolutely accurate; this is very likely; but this could very well be the case, but it’s still better to check again...

On the other hand, there are the Okhotskaya Ryad residents from Barrel Town, who not only do not understand methods and calculations, but do not even always know how to write in Russian. State Duma deputy and member of the Union of Journalists Kuryanovich has spelling and stylistic errors on his personal website: “For 15 years...”, etc. However, this does not in the least prevent him from throwing away all the calculations and torment of specialists with one wide movement of his hand. Why bother if a person has a national flair?!

This is how much mental health and spontaneity you need to have! He waved his sleeve - white swans swam... No, of course, I understand that Kuryanovich sounds much more beautiful than Rabinovich (the deputy specifically emphasizes that he is a native Belarusian - so that no one would think), but still I would like to hear something more meaningful. Closer to the point.

However, there is no point. And it cannot be. I don’t presume to judge Cyril and Methodius, but the LDPR deputy has no significant demographic works. But there are shoulder straps of a lieutenant colonel, a shaved skull with protruding ears and the title of candidate master of sports in biathlon. And one more thing, for some other physical education. Plus several memberships in various exotic academies. You know, the ones that give out such beautiful badges?

In general, such a thorough man.

Ms. Zayonchkovskaya certainly cannot cope with him alone. I would advise her to seek help from a neighboring, even more nationally concerned barrel. Scoop it up thicker and release it into the wild: “What do you, fair-haired bulbash, understand about the Russian people? You were chosen by the Chuchmeks of the Baikal region, who hit a squirrel in the eye and wipe your ass with pine needles. Who are you making money under? Under Zhirik, who roams around nightclubs with fagots and hides his dead dad in Israel. So sit by the bucket, potato peelings, Jewish echo, pray for Lukashenka and don’t breathe garlic on the great Russian people, who gave the world Alexander Semenovich Pushkin and Dima Bilan!”

Compatriots! Dear ones! Not otherwise, again a failure in the digital recording system. It's impossible! We, experts, don’t even know such words. The devil knows where they came from. And they certainly cannot have anything to do with the universally respected people’s deputy.

It turns out that the expert is completely unable to discuss. So let the thunder of victory ring out, have fun, brave Russian. Your fairy tale has won, Comrade Kuryanovich!

Here's your sword.

To win, she won. What about the problem?

Who cares? Who cares about reality when the last battle for faith is going on? Life has gone on and will continue to go on. Now, Mr. Kuryanovich’s four-year term in the State Duma will end, and he, along with others, will cling to the state-owned Moscow living space with his teeth and all four limbs. Instead of returning to Eastern Siberia, to the free Ust-Orda Buryat Autonomous Okrug, to the wide and clean Russian river, to the taiga house made of thick logs...

...Or, maybe, to the officers' dormitory with bedbugs, greasy walls and a wooden toilet in the yard. For reference: 19 million city dwellers (citizens!) in our country still do not have sewerage.

And again: do not be angry, fellow citizens. Don't take sin on your soul. This is reality. People want to live where it is better. And Deputy Kuryanovich, fortunately not a stupid person, will also submit to these anti-Russian laws. Moreover, he will consider them completely natural for himself, as for an honored patriot and respected deputy. And then from the city of Moscow they will trumpet with double pathos about the depopulation of their beloved Baikal region, about the need to increase the birth rate among the Russian people and about the slander of agents of influence.

Because ordinary human life is one thing, and patriotic tales from a barrel are quite another. And also, because if a person is a patriot - as it is said in a wonderful Soviet film - then this will last for a long time.

The Russian people will listen to these abundant, passionate speeches with approval, wondering how they can better get out of the provinces and closer to a major city. Yes, it would be desirable also for the capital. And in some extreme cases - even all the way abroad...

The latter is especially likely if he, the people, that is, Comrade Kuryanovich and his neighbors again begin to compact them into their monocentric container, cutting off all that is unnecessary with a shovel.

They will start, of course. We've already started a little. But they won't get very far.

Our people are seasoned and far from stupid - unlike some of their representatives. It behaves approximately the same as an American, Canadian or, say, Chinese. He doesn’t like to pay extra, doesn’t like power, wants to live richer, take care of his family, speak his own language and think of himself a little better than he deserves. I am a little susceptible to crude flattery - well, yes, who is without sin. But most of all, he doesn’t like it when they start taking away previously issued allowances. And with ideological compaction, this is inevitable.

The ideology of Russian centralization has always meant the concentration of power and resources at the hands of the state - at the expense of society. Thus, the ideas of Stalinist hypercentralization resulted in the strangulation of the NEP and the breakthrough of the military-industrial complex on the demographic resources and bones of the peasantry. The cost is about 8 million starvation deaths.

Closely follow the events in Transnistria and South Ossetia. As soon as they tell us: brothers and sisters, how long?! There are enemies all around, the time has come to unite and tighten our belts - this means that the authorities are ripe for the transition from the ideological phase of restoration to the practical. That is, according to the glorious national tradition, they want to invite us to work more, but for less pay. And, of course, also field free recruits.

So, it seems to me that this scenario will not work. We know him too well. In order to cut off the people's memory, repressions against memory bearers - that is, elite groups - must become close in scale to Stalin's. The elites, oh, how they don’t want this. And most importantly, they are completely uninterested in losing the considerable advantages that they have acquired.

That is, individual representatives of our people (the same Mr. Kuryanovich) are also far from being fools. Especially when it comes to personal interests. Here, private property ingenuity and liberal initiative are flowing like a fountain - be careful not to get in the way.

It is personal ingenuity that will not allow them to reach the edge. Regardless of the menacing songs they sing in their barrels, they are united by a keen interest in stock prices, accounts in reliable banks (scary to say - not only in domestic ones), a desire to go to Paris...

Whatever the degree of idiocy, their degree of barbarism has long since ceased to be the same.

In general, if someone meets Deputy Kuryanovich, ask kindly why he, such a strong man, did not give birth to seven? Well, at least five? Did the Jews and gays really manage to interfere with him, a Soviet officer, athlete, Komsomol member, even in this very matter?

It is becoming increasingly difficult to tell people fairy tales in our difficult times. The people became somewhat distrustful. More and more about myself and family. Things are bad for state-owned patriots.

And it will be even worse.
