“Smoking, falling, rocket,
And the calculation ran from her,
Who at least once saw this
He (...) is suitable for the rocket. "
From domestic folklore
In the history of mankind, there was a man nicknamed the “rocket” - Maurice Richard, the idol of Montreal and Canadian hockey, who spent 18 seasons in the NHL. Now another has appeared-also partly a hockey player, a man-rake.
The theater of one actor, arranged by him, at the announcement of the message to the Federal Assembly, greatly overestimated both the external and the internal audience. A Raketonist man, in combination with the God-bearing people, gives such an explosive mixture at the exit that on the new rocket you can fly away not so much to the future where Russia is now directed, but, having missed a certain wild mixture of times. Where the ever -insulted Orthodox Stalinists will accept the CPSU program to break through on meat, milk and oil by 2018 of March 1980.
In the words of the new person-rake: “We will do it? Yes!" No one really doubts ...
But the point is not who, in his desire to force several more nuclear powers to the world, is borrined by PR technology from Kim Jong-yun. And in what genuine enthusiasm, almost equal to Crimean, the political mass reacts to missile blackmail. For the first time in a long time, I had to recall another cliche from the past: “Long prolonged applause, turning into a standing ovation. Everyone gets up. " The suicide club is pleased to show Kuzkin’s mother to the whole world with subsequent nuclear self -destruction. Another mass, equally directed to the future, for a small fee and a couple of ruins, also shouted intensively "Yes!" In Luzhniki, she contemplated the live, albeit from afar, new rulers of our high -spiritual and through the Orthodox nation - from Kirkorov to Stas Mikhailov. What is Tolstoy with Dostoevsky, there is Petrosyan with Sadovnik - “Putin cocktail”.
Suicide Club rejoices the opportunity to show Kuzkin Mother to the whole world with subsequent nuclear self -destruction
A mankete man without mass love or its imitation is not a rocket, directed into the future. Without giving up positions, without massive conformism with double thinking, without readiness to sell his loyalty to the road and cheeky, wholesale and retail in Vladimir Putin and his closest environment would have not happened during these 18 years. Therefore, we are not talking about him-about a voluntary-compulsory extras.
For what happened to the country at the time of the final construction of an underdeveloped state-bureaucratic capitalism-for-holes, not only the first person and his closest associates are responsible, but also entirely the whole elite, a significant part of which gathered in the bow of Luzhnikov. Motivation is known. Behind us are groups, families, financing. We would try not to come to Luzhniki. We would try not to become proxies ... and ... and nothing would happen.
With all the "folk Stalinism" of the current regime, times are still somewhat more vegetarian. Boris Pasternak was enough not to sign letters with the demand for executions at the peak of great terror. There was enough peasant conscience to Alexander Tvardovsky not to sign in 1968 the vile “letter of Czechoslovak writers”. They had something to lose - both life and the opportunity to work. They were produced as a result to death - in the literal sense of the word. This, the current one, also has that “losing” - the opportunity to sing their unbearable songs from the stage, trading in their loyalty. “Masters of Culture” are always in the forefront of giving up positions, especially since this culture does not go further than Gazmanov, who exchanged the Luzhkovskaya Moscow bell to the hard bread of the Putin Luzhnikov, and Mikhalkov, who had long become his own among his own and ready to exterminate all the alien around himself. But there is no such profession in the future of Russia, where everyone would not pushing their loyalty in the administrative market - from a noble doctor to a many -minded rector of the country's chief university.
The accomplices of this action are representatives of the electorate. Unlike many of my colleagues, I believe in the high numbers of Putin’s support, especially since the 80 percent rating of approval of the president, which is synonymous with the support rating of Russia-Mother and the accession of Crimea, is mainly discussed. The electorate himself, with his own hands, turned himself into “electoral meat”, and now, welcoming smoking missiles, also into “cannon meat”. In the old days, even the Soviet people began to understand something as a result of a mass invasion of their anabiosis of Afghan cargo-200. However, what is the similarity of our time with the late Soviet, is that the Soviet regime and the Putin regime basically have active support, but indifference.
However, this indifference is equal to support. Silent - I am for you, just leave me alone. Or loud as Luzhnikovsky mass.

We all wonder why, in fact, to the President of Russia with almost formal overcoming of powers on March 18, a high turnout and high support indicators? And then, that any autocrat, the further he rules, is not just for support, but folk love, even if it is achieved by staging actions like Luzhnikovsky. As a result, everyone else begins to think: well, since everyone supports the boss, I will support it. The most standard psychology of the crowd. Okhlocracy of the postmodern era. In Putin-the unity of the nation.
And the turnout can be supported by the same Luzhnikov methods. Scientific worker? The faculty? Come on, everyone took absenteeism and voted on March 18 at work, at their own department. Otherwise, you will have problems. Probably, the Central Election Commission did not hear about such technologies. He is for strong Russia. And she is very noisy - not a horseradish is heard. "Yes?!"
Mass indifference with conformist involvement - there is no contradiction. Whether we, who survived the Soviet government, do not know that one implies the other. Readiness to be used. Permanent militaristic mobilization. Famous in political science, Anticipatory Obedience is a deliberate readiness to obey the authorities. And the fact that in another era, in another country, Gleichschaltung was called - total involvement of the masses, social, gender, professional groups in political support of the authorities. Is it really necessary for outstanding hockey players or young talented skaters to bow to the Kremlin or freeze in Luzhniki? They do not need Putin, Putin needs them. But if you ask them, they will say that they do it voluntarily and enthusiastically. How their predecessors did this, no less outstanding athletes. Some 45 years ago, at the risk of party billets and military ranks, debunked the myth of the invincibility of Canadian professionals, while others, as it turned out, almost lost the secondary team of Germany, but at least took the Reichstag. The comparison in the current discourse is appropriate - Putin equates the death of a Russian pilot for Assad in Syria to Stalingrad.
All this works. And all this is not characteristic of modern societies and states. Moreover, directed into the future.
These are serious things. They slowed down and will inhibit the development of our country. Life in anti -utopia and in a state of self -hypnosis does not imply those very six times mentioned in the Epistle of the President of the breakthrough - only immersion in archaic with textual repetitions of texts and examples of behavior of the Soviet era.
And you can ask a couple of questions: if everything is so good, then why a breakthrough? And what prevented the future in the future in the previous 18 years - a whole generation has grown! - “Wild nineties”, world backstage, Bush and Obama? But what interfered: “No one listened to us. Listen now. "
Stormy prolonged applause, turning into ovation. Everyone gets up. Right from the knees.
Only now the missiles did not take off, they don’t take off. Rather, they steam, falling. According to folklore wisdom, this spectacle is extremely unattractive. Especially for residents of generalized Voronezh. If someone rattles with a weapon, threatening an adversary, this is a sure sign that they will bomb their own.
