Inexorable Joe

Joseph Kobzon - Soviet man; This explains a lot. In particular, loyalty to all the authorities in which I happened to live and go on stage. Membership in the CPSU and a firm unwillingness to part with the Komsomol as the basis of the song repertoire under the Communists. Membership in United Russia and readiness to strictly vote for any bill that the authorities submit to the Duma. If the party says "must", Joseph Davydovich never hesitates with an answer. As it was customary in the country from where it is. He is so educated and does not see the particular difference between the eras of developed socialism and spiritual bonds.

However, there are differences, and the personal drama of the People's Artist of the USSR is associated with this.

Then he only sang, combining in his work the ideology of the highest gesture with sincerity and lyricism. No one was particularly interested in his political views, because it was intelligent that his views were correct. In general, the masters of the Soviet stage did not have the habit of being elected somewhere, pushing some speeches from high stands, answering tricky questions of journalists. Journalists also had no way to ask tricky questions. And if the Soviet troops invaded the neighboring state, then the beloved singer could, of course, invite them to tour and generously reward for courage and worldwide responsiveness, but this was not at all advertised. For the war in Afghanistan, where peaceful life was being established every day, was classified for quite some time.

Unlike Afghan, the Russian-Ukrainian war for anyone is no secret, and Kobzon, along with some other masters of stage and sports, runs state affairs. The People's Artist supports and justifies the war and jointly curses the West with the authorities. This means that in the era of spiritual bonds and underheated publicity, he now often acts with political statements and answers different questions. Related to these statements and in general with its legislative work. Today he is better known as a politician who, under far -fetched pretexts, is not allowed either into America (connection with the mafia) or to Europe (sanctions).

Today, Joseph Davydovich can sing something and can say what he wants, so he sings and says. He is free and quite sincere, pressing the buttons when they say, and speaking on political topics when they ask. However, many of his deeds and words cause a rack, and people who have not lost touch with reality do not even polemize with him, but simply try to understand why he needs all this. Politics, wild laws, wild speeches, Russian-Ukrainian war. It is to him, the famous singer and a wealthy person, to whom the deputy crust and legislative activity only interfere in life. After all, if he had still limited himself to pop platforms (and business, for example, albeit mafia), he would be able to avoid many problems that now seem insoluble.

For example, he would not fall under European sanctions, that is, he could be treated in a German clinic where a planned operation awaited him. In addition, that tragicomic scene would not have arisen in his life when he seriously said that he intended to seek help from the president if the Germans still did not give him a visa. It turns out that the deputy and Patriot Kobzon does not understand politics at all - after all, it is difficult to imagine the worst walked in the West than Putin. So why is he still sitting in the Duma?

Or here is a very recent case - a brief patriotic speech of Joseph Davydovich, dedicated to children, thundered in Runet. How to help a sick child, he said, speaking to the Crimean journalists, "it can be more advisable in priority to raise funds and help Crimea." So, in his head, apparently, two topics were connected, giving out a paradoxical reaction: the "Law of Dima Yakovlev", for which he voted, depriving sick Russian children, the opportunity to live and be treated in America and "Crimean". It turned out that you are more priority to pump money into Crimea, although it seems to have what the money has to do with it? Foreigners themselves paid for our orphans to take them from here and try to save them.

The money has nothing to do with it, and the slightest meaning in this speech is impossible to find if you do not remember that Kobzon is a Soviet person. From childhood, soaked in collectivist consciousness and completely convinced that the grief of one child and his parents is nothing compared to the "happiness of hundreds of thousands", to take even a new community of the Crimean people. Since state interests are above all, and the red -banned choir with a singer at the microphone easily drowns out a quiet children's song. True, in the soul of a person named Joseph Kobzon, it is somehow not good, and the longing in his eyes is expensive when he pronounces all this nonsense, but the conscience of the Soviet man is supple, and he easily copes with himself. Crimea needs money than a dying child. A native country would live, yes.

Actually, this is how it is erased, the largest geopolitical disaster of the twentieth century, as Putin called the peaceful collapse of the Soviet Empire. Although there are almost no Soviet people in its pure form, there are already almost no remaining cynics and bastards. Kobzon is unique, like any relic, which is why its relict speeches, this mixture of powerful stupidity and cannibalism, make such a strong impression. Not wanting that, it was he, a national artist, who sings us about where we came and what we build on the wreckage of Yeltsin Russia. A country that does not even care about his children, their suffering and death, for there are more valuables. But no Putin will tell you this. Kobzon, an old man, known to the whole country, is an ingenuous, penetrating as a song.
