Return "Start"

The hatred of Soviet civilization is phenomenally unilateral in the ruling and owning Russia owning Russia. The consistent eradication of the “damned scoop” is steadily, with an iron hand is carried out precisely in those areas in which its achievements were indisputable and positive - from the social sphere and the education system to defense capacity, technological progress and maintaining the interethnic world.

In the same areas in which the USSR was really ridiculous and disgusting, the indignation of which caused its collapse, not only a reverent restoration is observed, but also a very sophisticated, energetic and inventive aggravation. In fact: the number of prisoners per capita in Russia is much exceeds the post -Stalin level (under, as far as one can judge, the practical termination of the fight against crime); Brezhnev gerontocracy looks like a competitive and self -incorporating environment against the background of the present, and the corrupt party -holding - a cluster of unrestrained, sincerely beating about the good of the people. The Soviet bureaucrats who have finished the steam engine, against the backdrop of the current “jugs” with crusts, almost Harvard give the impression of deep intellectuals, and scattering money on manic ambitious programs amid “investments, innovations, infrastructure”, olympiads and championships, not to mention money into a runway, it seems long -term and it seems long Super -rational investment.

“Everything is known in comparison,” said the quiet official once, leaving the office of the sitting under the portrait of Peter the Great V.V. Putin. In recent years, he has been engaged only in hunting, according to him, the very thought of the Russian ruling party requires immediate sublimation of the thirst for murder.

For victims of the exam and “children of Fursenko”, it has to be explained: Soviet civilization was not only incomparably more effective, but also an order of magnitude more humanistic and democratic society than the current “decaying with the knees” right in front of Russia. Of course, this does not mean the absence of the deepest not even shortcomings, but vices (in addition to the rough and contradictory reality of ideological dictatorship, the often forgotten coercion of people to betrayal should be called), which led to its destruction. If the Soviet Union is perfect, we would now remain its citizens.

However, professional tennizers in Soviet civilization are hated, as far as one can judge, not its unconditional vices, but, on the contrary, its indisputable virtues. Only by this can their tolerance be explained to the present vices of the past (like the transformation of the law enforcement system into punitive) with ardent hatred of its preserved positive elements (like quality education).

There is no perverted ideological sabotage: "Nothing personal - only business."

The interests of competitiveness objectively require reducing costs. An attempt to reduce them due to corruption gives the impression of undermining the foundations of the state system and certainly is a direct robbery of the ruling and owning class of Russia, which he, for obvious reasons, will not allow to go. This means that the reduction of costs should be due to the cutting of real, not plundered expenses for society; Hence the consistent destruction of the social sphere, defense capabilities, degradation of technology and infrastructure.

On the other hand, the corruption and legalization of the looted in fashionable countries as a genuine national idea of ​​the “offshore aristocracy” (by definition of not some Limonov, but personally Mr. Surkov) equally objectively requires a thousand-class aggravation of the vices of the “scoop”-from the insanity of agitprop to punitive psychiatry.

And in vain someone thinks that, without doing business, without reading “tomorrow”, moving to the other side of the street when the “Mr. Police” appears on the horizon, blocking half of the accessible television channels for the benefit and hiding behind a lamp colle at the sight of a membership with a milek or even more Caucasian numbers, he can protect himself from these processes.

The point is not even the prices of goods and tariffs of housing and communal services, which include dizzying and constantly growing corruption taxes, the matter is not even the destruction of social infrastructure and the fabric of everyday life itself.

The fact is that the result of the described marvelous process was the return to the everyday life of the most monstrous, most ugly features of Soviet life, which professional democrats, with general relief, declared a long time eradicated.

The simplest area is purchases.

Almost everyone who has the opportunity to buy goods abroad does just that. This applies to clothing, and drugs, and technology, and alcohol, and even food: I personally know a very wealthy person buying all the coffee consumed by his family (in grains) in Germany - in his opinion, caffeine from the grains sold in Russia is partially stretched.

The familiar seller of the wine department in the store of one of the far from “garbage” networks for a long time was looking for wine, pouring, according to his information, not in the suburbs, and finally handed the wooden box with a radiant smile: “It seems, dear!”

The only one of more than three dozen varieties of wine.

For a price for which I better and abundantly have lunch ...

Yes, there is no formally deficiency.

But there is no opportunity to buy products of guaranteed quality, including at absurdly overstated prices.

And we see the ardent haters of Lukashenko, who purchase smoked sausages, sweets and even vodka for all his friends in Minsk: the “godfather” has a law and, in particular, quality control.

Professional exposure of “Russian fascism” who declared that the “hardworking compatriot” that does not speak Russian is closer to them than the “formed cattle that leaves the homeland”, and in a nightmares do not allow the opportunity to feed their children shawarma. And they don’t even try to buy wearing things on all kinds of “Cherkizons”: they know that the cheapness is repeatedly redeemed by low quality, which is often not even for a wallet, but for health.

The scale of the procurement is no longer even the highest, but the middle class acquired such a scale that they forced to introduce duties for importing goods worth more than 3 thousand euros into the country - and led to the corresponding repressive actions of customs officers.

Do you remember how magical the word “import” was in the USSR?

Do you remember "sausages" to Moscow?

Do you remember the cutting soul of the squalor of late Soviet stores?

Now look around: and this is returning too - unless, of course, you are ready to overpay for three times the most ordinary goods, risking to run into - by no means a “counterfeit”, but a complete lack of quality for your health (or even life).

As in Soviet times, everyone who can buy everything that can abroad.

Yes, today it is caused by other reasons: the arbitrariness of the cattle that was pushing to the authorities, the monstrous (and, of course, laid in the price) corruption, total no longer, but direct “lawlessness” of monopolies.

And the exit from the country is formally free: it is limited only to the welfare and level of culture, sufficient to issue a passport.

But the essence of the matter - the rapid and large -scale return of the Soviet Union, which is not respected by all normal people, but a deeply despised “scoop” - this, alas, does not change.

“E..noy Russia”, under the flag and in the interests of which this monstrous policy is implemented, is similar to the CPSU, as far as you can judge, just as a monkey is similar to a person.

But this similarity leads today's Russia to the same grave in which the Soviet Union rests.

The democratic revolutions of the line of the 80s and 90s were the revolutions of consumers. The upcoming system crisis will not be a revolution, but the consumer, humiliated and destroyed and destroyed by the bureaucracy, will play in it a decisive role that is determining ultimately.
