This is my favorite story of recent days. It is in such everyday idiocy that the entire idiocy of the modern era is best manifested. Even better than the “problem with the chair” in the Tverskoy court.
There was a play about Cinderella in Kamchatka. There, in Kamchatka, time zones were changed. In the fairy tale, the clock is also set back an hour so that Cinderella can stay longer at the ball. This scene has been known to everyone since childhood. But in light of the hourly changes during the performance, she evoked especially heartfelt applause.
One day, some assistant to the governor visited Cinderella. As a result, they wanted to ban the performance under the real pretext of inciting hatred! Apparently, to the current government, that is, there is extremism and revolution! The matter came to Moscow and the central channels. The performance was saved, after which it will apparently be performed with even greater success, and there will be a standing ovation during the clock change. What wonderful people they are! They are not afraid to look like idiots. They are afraid of a children's fairy tale.
The government considers itself democratic, popular, strong and strong. But the fairy tale still scares her.
