Dear Fathers. Variety inventory-3*

Part 3.

Professional

Eh, youth, youth ...

You suffer, you persuade yourself, make excuses publicly ...

"They would ask how the fathers did!"

A real role model is called - Stanislav Sergeyevich Govorukhin.

Over a quarter of a century, without changing the fateful expression on his face, this “Voroshilov shooter” was literally in all political hands that occurred in the blessed country - from Travkin, transit through Lebed and Zyuganov, to Luzhkov and Putin.

And everywhere he “shot” little by little - now on one, then on the other ...

Come on the smoking tubes, changed less than parties, but never - hear? - Nobody ever heard the words of justification from him! No petty trembling, no verbal milly, no “cognitive dissonance”, no-no!

Only a strict face against the background of the church or endless open spaces, and choke on your compromise.

I don’t know if Stanislav Sergeyevich read the anti -utopia of Orwell, but he realized a key thought about the absence of memory of the bottom yesterday in his political career.

The enemy is Oceania or a friend - depends on the morning newspaper and only on it, and the one who is in harmony with today's newspaper has always been right!

Govorukhin was always right.

He met his first deputy by a democrat - it was still worn in the early nineties ... The obsession passed without a trace along with the failure of the “Democratic Party”, whose face was Govorukhin himself. The party sunk into oblivion, but not a single muscle trembled on the face.

In the summer, ninety -six Govorukhin already called to vote for Zyuganov - and not on his own behalf, but, to the heap, so that it did not seem little, on behalf of the entire creative intelligentsia of Russia (only his taste can compare with the modesty of Stanislav Sergeyevich).

In the ninety -ninth, who had already put on Luzhkov, he prophetically called Putin’s coming disaster for Russia - he named, I note, publicly. Here, it would seem, the bridges are burned, it's all over ... not-no! The same strict fateful person, the same harsh look, a new deputies.

However, we must pay tribute to Putin: the leader of the nation was inconsistent; He picked up the defeated from the floor easily and at ease - receiving, it seems, a specific pleasure from how yesterday’s enemy begins to perform four “ku” in his palm, interested in the conditions for returning to the bums ...

An interesting question is when this misfortune happened to Vysotsky’s friend - a passion for the bins - we will leave the biographers of the film director. Here we only state: once getting to the feeder, far from it, Stanislav Sergeyevich did not leave.

Very soon, he joined United Russia and in a private conversation shifted with his hands with the usual expression of stoicism on a duplicated face about this: it is necessary!

The Kremlin habitually gave him money for a new movie ...

The cinema every time it was about the lack of morality in society.

And now - the crown of a career, a fresh work of the profile: the head of the election headquarters of the leader of the "party of crooks and thieves" who had gone with the fool ...

When Vysotsky’s friend, after almost half a century, ends the biography of a figure under Putin - laugh or cry? We’ll laugh, perhaps - and wish you health to Stanislav Sergeyevich.

You look, take the grandmother from Navalny.

Part 4.

Epilogue

Here it seems to be the whole simple register: an attempt by a romantic self -deception, tired “we must be friends with the authorities” and, finally, loyalty, which has become a highly paid profession.

In the three archetypes (in its pure form or in a bizarre cocktail of motivations), one way or another, hundreds of “cultural figures” fit, who were brought and bring before our eyes into a political service service - from “lanians” the Soviet era to the “Mashkov” of the latest times ...

Whether they bring them - or they come, whether they are aware of what is happening with their fate - or not, whether they are tormented by reflection or do without them - all these are details that are very important in each individual case.

But at the exit, alas, always! - Personal degradation entailing the degradation of society ...

Well, on the contrary, of course.
