The massacre, studied in Moscow on Wednesday morning by a 29-year-old lawyer Dmitry Vinogradov, immediately reminded of Brayvik's case. Like the "Norwegian shooter", his Moscow follower led the "philosophical" base under the massacre. On the eve of the massacre, he left a manifesto on the social network, in which he admits hatred of humanity. Then he put on a camouflage uniform, took two rifles, arrived at the warehouse of a pharmaceutical company where he worked, and shot everyone he managed with two hands. Six dead, one girl is seriously injured. The police reported that she took the killer in hot pursuit, but in fact he was detained by his colleagues, taking advantage of the moment when he reloaded the carbine.
Similar stories from time to time happen all over the world. People who complex about their own failure are trying to attract the attention of those around them the only ones that they are capable of is a crime. The "philosophical base" is always approximately the same and is impressed on the cult of power, a complex of own inferiority, contempt for someone else's life and infantile ideas about the world. Many people more or less painfully go through this at the age of 15-16, and then grow up, getting rid of Raskolnikov's syndrome forever. Others get stuck at this age.
Calm killers do not need theoretical excuses. They kill thoughtlessly, like Major Evsyukov, or voluptuously, like sexual maniacs. Vinogradov’s case of those when the murder becomes the meaning of life and the way out of his own impasse. For self -realization, they need an idea and cruelty. Both that and the other in abundance are offered by today's life.
The cult of lawlessness and violence, which demonstrates power, safely gets along with criminal violence, which is perceived in a significant part of society with condescending understanding. Film culture and literature add their artistic excuses to this reality, and the infantile consciousness is not able to separate artistic fiction from genuine life. It would be nothing if this were only the last 20 years, when not too responsible society was in demand by cruelty and violence on film and television screens. The whole twentieth century in our country was under the banner of the ideology of cruelty and was accompanied by the practice of all -destroying communist violence. It then became the norm, and so was learned over the decades of the forced Soviet life. This is not in vain. This is absorbed into the consciousness of the people and is very difficult to become obsolete.
The form to justify violence can be different, it is secondary. The readiness for him is significant. Socialists with national coloring in their propaganda openly call for violence on the model of their German predecessors. Socialists with red color advocate for the restoration of Soviet norms, which built violence in the rank of current state policy. The communists publicly celebrate the day in the center of Moscow, which has become the day of the national tragedy for our country; The day from which the extermination of millions of our compatriots began. Meanwhile, the authorities are waving riot police for the word and the raised poster, tortures in the police departments and kills in prisons. In such and such an atmosphere of violence as an infantile consciousness, to protect yourself from the temptation to enter the image of a fair ruler of other people's destinies? He put on camouflage, took a carbine and went to prove his significance - which is easier?
Dmitry Vinogradov is not at all original, as it may have seemed to him. Herodnate manifesto of it is unpretentious and banal. SS Lightning "Zig" on his VKontakte page testifies to the commitment of Nazi ideology. The slogan Kill EVERYONE ("kill each") is equally primitive. All this vulgar vinaigrette does not indicate a tedious search for the right path, but about hasty preparation of seasonings to justify their thirst for violence.
Others do without it. They replace the murder of people with almost impunity murder of animals in danger in their criminal consequences. Some villains burn in Moscow one after another shelters for stray dogs and cats. In Bashkiria in October, on elections day, they burned a stable with 13 horses (by the way, thoroughbred horses, the pride of cord -wishes). The owners of the stable, father and daughter Hassan and Aigul Idiatullins, say that this was revenge for putting their candidates in the municipal elections contrary to United Russia.
The killing of animals has the same nature as the murder of people. The current hunter kills animals not because he needs meat to eat, or skin to dress, but because he likes to kill. Sometimes it is called hunting excitement, but this is an excitement of murder. Probably, with the same excitement, Anders Breivik paced the island of Utoya, shooting Norwegian children. By the way, Breivik explained the purchase of his carbine with a desire to hunt deer, and this did not raise questions. To kill animals - why not?
Probably, now, after a massacre arranged by Vinogradov in a pharmaceutical warehouse, the authorities will try to tighten any other laws to portray the fight against crime. However, violence does not become obsolete. Many smart and talented people have already written and talked about this. And it is unlikely that anyone will say more than what the wandering prophet said about this 1979 years ago.
