Only Hitler is worse?

Yuri Dud proved by his film about Kolyma and Stalinism that we are unscrupulous

We are assured that people have long been tired of the “endless” stories about the horrors and crimes of Stalinism, that the foam from the Khrushchev and perestroika “revelations” finally went away, and the path to the balanced estimates of not only losses, but also the achievements of the past era. And it was precisely these achievements, as it becomes obvious, that provided the country's confident tread to new and new victories.

The costs, yes, were, who argues. But the greatness of the achieved goals compensates for these costs. And the growth of the popularity of Comrade Stalin, who is fixed by sociologists, indicates this particular.

So do not repeat the mantras about repressions, about camps, about the "atrocities" of the NKVD. Firstly, unfortunately, it was impossible to do without them. And secondly, there was no one at all, neither “atrocities”, nor camps, nor repression. And the Rostov Regional Department of Internal Affairs therefore holds among employees to the Victory Day of the Flashmob on the uniforms of their heroic predecessors from the time of the Berry, Yezhov and Beria. Their example, presumably, helps Rostov policeman in solving modern problems ...

And then a blogger Dud appears on the Internet with his two -hour film about Kolyma, as “The Motherland of our Fear”.

The film, which was immediately noted by thin connoisseurs, protracted (for more than two hours!), Poorly arranged and superficial. One Moscow newspaper even offered the author a whole program for the future:

“Dude’s mistake is that, already working in a different format, he continues to use the old way to collect information (interviews with eyewitnesses), practically ignoring other sources. From here the fact is from ... the components for high -quality retrospective - excerpts from historical documents, comments of eyewitnesses, maps, video chronicles, different points of view that create a field for the discussion. Which is better for a modern user with a chronic time deficiency? The balance of an objective picture developing critical thinking and a competently built story that will not overload and confuse the viewer ... The only way is not to be tapped on the era or character, but to try to look at the situation from the researcher's point of view. Another path of blogger inevitably leads to the sunset of the Dudya era. ”

And here is neither cards, nor video chronicles, nor the “balance of an objective picture that develops critical thinking”, nor a field for discussions, the viewer is overloaded and confused ...

But one way or another, in less than a week, the film Dude collected more than 10 million views. And this is among the “tired” from the theme of Stalinism, mainly the youth audience.

He immediately overtook an interview with the same author with Sobchak. And only an interview with Ivleeva is still looming ahead. By the way, to my shame, until the very recent time I did not know this sonorous name - Ivleev. But those who shame Dudia for treason to their main topics invariably refer to this young lady. So I had to urgently overcome my ignorance. It turned out the leading talk show. “... In 2018, I starred in Ida Galich“ Dima ”, in the vertical video of Elena Temnikova“ Not fashionable ”and in the video of Dmitry Bilan“ Drunk Love ”...

And here-some kind of kolyma!

"New" already wrote about the film by Yuri Dudia. And now, I think, if we talk, then about the reaction to him - those who have already been sure of their complete victory over the historical memory of the people and their common sense. They are confused, discouraged, evil.

Maxim Shevchenko subjected the film a detailed critic, starting with the name.

"Kolyma is the birthplace of our fear." But this is the fear of Dudia. Neither me nor my friends and acquaintances have fear of Kolyma. Dud is afraid of the past. It is a symbol for something for him. This is his unconscious fear ... "

Dud in the film talked with the daughter of Sergei Korolev, the future academician, and then the Kolyma prisoner.

“How so brazenly, so cynically exploit emotions? .. Nothing special happened. My grandfather was also arrested in Simbirsk, and my grandmother also cried. This is a common emotion. And what, now it happens differently when a person is arrested? And they are led out by no known to where? On charges of any kind of Islamic terrorism not proved by anyone? ”

“... Why not say that there were many more criminals on Kolyma than political? Shalamov wrote about this ... "

“... The historian says Dudu: in the war, we defeated the gold of Kolyma. And Dud does not even understand what he was talking about. But according to Lend-Lease, nothing was provided to us for free, we had to pay for everything. For everything they paid gold Kolyma: for tanks, for planes, for trucks, for molybdenum, for stew .... The Americans would not give anything for free. For everything they paid the gold of Kolyma. And if there were no American supplies, in the 42nd we would lose the war ... Is it possible to master Kolyma differently then? No, you can't! What liberal methods could be done? ”

“... Dud is afraid of these questions? He is afraid of history ... "

But Shevchenko is not afraid of anyone. Therefore, he is lying, for example, about a Lend-Lease, for deliveries for which the USSR did not pay anything to anyone. Yes, and with all the other facts that it confidently refers, is more than free.

Zakhar Prilepin simply recalls that Hitler, for example, is much worse than Stalin, and Dud is therefore disorienting the viewer, scaring him by Stalinist camps. The Nazis (the writer calls them - “Europeans”) on our land “killed as the most frantic car. They killed without much sense - peaceful, innocent people. Children. Babies. Pregnant women ... "Therefore, -" What can the author of the film "Kolyma" know about real fear? "

What I learned, he told. Thanks to him.

There is such a book. “Ships will come for us ... a list of rehabilitated persons, death sentences against which are carried out in the territory of the Magadan region,” was published in 1999. Among the six members of the public council of the publication are the then mayor of Magadan and his deputy, the prosecutor, employees of the Internal Affairs Directorate and the FSB.

The authors admit that their list is notolless. Part of the affairs is lost. Some are located for various reasons outside the Magadan region-most in Omsk, but there are also in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, in Khabarovsk ...

“But even when this list becomes complete (or almost complete, because we can never achieve exhaustive completeness), we will not forget that this is only one list, only one of many ships of our memory. And how many of them have a special island! ..

From the distant camp years, the expression “Third Archive” has come to our days: “Getting into the Third Archive” is the same as “go under the hill”, “Give oak” ... This part of the archive to this day is indexed by the number 3 - the numbers of those who died in the Kolyma camps from hunger, cold, an accident in the escape or on the whim of a guard ...

They say that death does not choose. Probably, on Kolyma, this was so, and therefore the former Trotskyist and criminal, the glorified red commander and embezzlement, clergyman and atheist, people of different social status, different nationalities, citizens of the USSR and foreigners ... 128 thousand dead ... ”lie in her land.

Over the past 20 years, there were no reprints of this book. And even in the Memorial file cabinet all links in the Magadan region - only to her.

The list begins with a thirty -year -old Tbilisan Aarutyunov (Trotskyist) and ends with Leningradz Yazhchnitsyn, also Trotskyist.

In total, it has 7545 names. Of these, I did not choose four at random.

• Shevchenko Grigory Karpovich, born in 1893 (Odessa region), place of residence-West Siberian Territory, Ukrainian, Date of arrest-1937, convicted by the "Troika" of the NKVD for DS 04/07/1938, KRPO, shot 04/11/1938, rehabilitated 09/07/1964 ...

• Shevchenko Konstantin Grigoryevich, born in 1902 (Odessa), the place of residence - Odessa, Ukrainian, the date of arrest 1931, was convicted by the Troika of the NKVD according to DS 05/09/1938, KRPO, executed on 05.06.1938, rehabilitated on 02.25.1963 ...

• Shevchenko Petr Pavlovich, born in 1898 (Kharkov region), place of residence - it is not indicated, Ukrainian, the date of arrest 1936, was convicted by the "Troika" of the NKVD for DS 04/23/1938, KRPO ( counter -revolutionary rebel organization - P. G. ), shot 06/05/1938, rehabilitated on 09/19/1956 ...

• Found Prilepin . Mikhail Mikhailovich, born in 1905 (Oryol region), the place of residence of the city of Ordzhonikidze, Russian, the date of arrest 1936, convicted by the Troika of the NKVD on DS 04/07/1937, 58th century. Criminal Code, shot on 04/11/1938, rehabilitated on 06/21/1989 ...

But all this, of course, is not scary. Compared to Hitler.
