Our battle
Experience in visiting the Alexander Nevsky memorial on the shore of Lake Peipsi
Of course, a whole life is needed to prepare for the examination of the new monument to the Grand Duke Alexander Nevsky, who, together with the squad, horses and flags, is now leaving the lake of Lake's Peace to the outskirts of the village of Samolva in the Pskov region a few kilometers from the border with Estonia. You must first be born an October, go to pioneers and a Komsomol, go in an army that quickly put things in order in a chaotic system of values with the help of a trouble -free “ass to the ass, tree to a tree, which is unclear, it is not clear his mother”, to fail to analyze the economy of socialist enterprises, to give birth to three children, to travel throughout the country, to visit the taiga, desert and in the ice. To find out what war, chlamydia, hepatitis, caries, Chebureks, vodka, charity, love, betrayal, the inhibitor of the reverse capture of serotonin, Tick-current, Long-Rid and content, so that later, in early September 2021, find out that all this was happening only thanks to the victory on April 5, 1242 over the dogs on ice, lost in the forests of the lake.
It was the ice battle that conquered the right to the eternal beauty and invincibility of our inner world from the endless external enemy of Russia. This was stated at the opening of the monument,
With this thought, he is conceived, suffered and the power of this belief is put on a hill on the outskirts of a quiet, few known village.
It is better to consolidate the joy of this patriotic revelation directly in Pskov. You can even recommend a couple of great places. For example, a workshop for the repair of chips and cracks in the windshield at the backyard of the Eldorado store in the Oktyabrsky Prospekt area. Inside, this workshop is similar to a bizarre mixture of the flea market, a local history museum and an army Leninist room. Three busts of Lenin, zucchini, banks with pickles, bottles with frivolous fluids, all walls are hung with portraits of Putin, Stalin and Yanukovych, diplomas, posters, icons. But to enjoy all this, come for sure by which you signed up. Otherwise, the owner of the workshop - a living mobile pensioner, in the appearance of a retired warrior - will be strict with you, like a field tribunal:
- Are you, e ..., you can’t do everything exactly as you agreed? Well then, m ..., dick you repairs? Listen to Putin on the radio. All your life, you, Mudakov, will put cancer.
After the repair, it’s nice to go to the general strengthening massage to the SPA Medical Center to the sky (not dentistry, this refers to the airspace above the surface of the Earth) in the sports and entertainment park “Spurry”. It will be interesting to drive by car directly to Irkutsk Lane, where the entrance to the world of health and well -being is located. The fact is that in the lane, except for the pool and massage, there are also buildings of the FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so the travel on it is prohibited from the trees hidden among the trees.
- Yes, it is clear that it would be possible to limit yourself to a warning, but how? There is a whole general in the window, so you have to draw up a protocol, pay a fine of 500 rubles with a discount of 250. In a couple of days you can pay through public services. Although, of course, we are in Russia, you ourselves understand, so maybe after four or a week later. - Without a philosophical monologue of a policeman, what patriotism can be.
Well, finally, the massage therapist Konstantin.
“You will curse me,” he says, wetting strong hands with massage oil. - It will hurt everything for three days, as after the gym. But health. Well, how. Fifteen years worked on an ambulance.
- And what did you abandon?
- Fighting.
- Do you regret it?
- Well, how to say? I miss the morons. A light bulb in the mouth. Pipe in the ass. Very not enough to complete a picture of life.
For completeness, you can now in the village of Samolva. It is located 120 kilometers from Pskov, the last twenty kilometers there is no asphalt yet. The road, although Rockanan Grauder, it becomes clear to the rain that Alexander Nevsky was not at all just getting to the triumph of the victory over the enemies of Russia. In addition, in the Samolv itself there are no signs that help to find the historical place of the glory of the Russian spirit, weapons and principles of statehood. Machines with families and sad children stuck to wet windows, romantic pairs, cheerful friends and harsh young people stand around the village.
- But where is he, b ...? - Everyone gets out of cars and get their phones. - In the morning there was no monument in Yandex, just appeared, but it doesn’t pave the route.
- Yes, there, 500 meters in the ground. - A local resident goes to the fence to look at the invasion of patriots in the Pskov wilderness. From the outside it may even seem that the events of 1242 are as if repeated. To Estonia, only a few kilometers from here. The excitement is as if some lembbit, Jaap, Khizd and Meelis decided to cross the lake and finally came to give them a long-awaited worthy rebuff.
- And what, Putin is still there?
- Well, straight. He flew yesterday, read a prayer and flew away.
Of course, I would like to believe that I stayed. Behind building households, tractors and garbage finally the green hill opens. From afar, it still seems to be a Russian inside, which would be beautiful and honest to see a small but at least understandable sculptural group on this hill: Russian President Vladimir Putin, Patriarch Kirill, Metropolitan Pskhon (Shevkunov) and the head of the Interdepartmental Commission on Historical Education, Vladimir Medinsky, the Russians of the ice battle by Russians. But no. The closer to the monument, the more obvious and boring its composition is. You can put such a monument anywhere today and for any reason - there would be means to win the spirit.
And there are so many voids in Russia that only it can be drowned out by history.
And here people, horses, flags. All of them, as it were, stopped for a festive photo. With them from the lake, they took the armor of the defeated dogs, their helmets with eagles, swords and shackles, into which the enemies were going to steel Holy Rus'. The horses protrude with hooves a shameful arsenal. Spears, flags. On a banner - God. God is thoughtful and looks somewhere in the distance and to the side, past visitors to the memorial. Where is he looking?
To think, of course, but the SMS is very distracting from the mobile operator: “Welcome to Estonia! Outgoing calls 19.9 rubles. per min., Including - 19.9 p. For min. SMS - 5.9 rubles. ”
