August 1991

Why did these guys die?

Then, eighteen years ago, the answer was. For free Russia.

A pure note of high grief sounded at those funerals where the priest, mullah and rabbi funeral about three dead Russians - go specially such a symbol of the All -Russian atonement! "Humanity, laughing, parted with its past." This is true, but only in the end - at the fracture of the eras it is not laughing. And those who are ready to give their lives for the correctness of their business. The formula of the heliocentric system is written by ash Jordano Bruno.

Poetry - the consciousness of his own innocence, wrote to Mandelstam. History too. Her fuel is blood. From the political prisoner to the political prisoner Marchenko, who had already died at the exit of the communist tunnel, at Gorbachev’s time, the pistons of history work, alas, only on this hot source of energy.

Vladimir Usov, Ilya Krichevsky and Dmitry Komar died for free Russia, and was bitter and light at their funeral.

But we all grunted!

And today it was gray and sad from the thought that all this was only then so that our shameless Lubyan Macho could be photographed by topless to the joy of cattle.

Glory to Russia, say? Here it is, the glory of Russia. In the tombs, under the not yet disgraced tricolor. Three guys who died for the mocking freedom.
