Committee
In the Kremlin
Committee
October 15, 2007 Anton Oresh
Probably the dream of Vasily Yakemenko came true. He is now a minister. He was “walking together”, he was “ours”, he was someone else unknown to me, but I think that all this time he wanted to be a minister. In general, there is no other meaning to become “ours”, “local”, “newlyword”, if you do not want to become a minister over time.
Kremlin youth movements were created as parodies for the Komsomol. Only in Komsomol, ideological comrades still met from time to time. “Ours” is zero romance and idealism and 100% of bureaucratic pragmatism. This organization is not for those who are in the clouds, but for those who, from a young age, realized that happiness is in a suit, portfolio, office with a portrait of the president and a car with a miletic. Of course, not everyone is lucky, but the main activists will not disappear.
However, there will still be only one minister among them. Vasily Yakemenko headed the newly -formed State Committee for Youth Affairs. We have not had a similar committee for ten years. What did young people do all this time? How to grow up, while no one was doing it? 10 years is almost the whole school from beginning to end. It will be necessary to closely follow the generation that have grown unattended by the committees.
But we will be serious. Because those who created the Committee were also serious. They clearly had some kind of plan, some calculation. Which? The devil knows them. But, apparently, they assumed that having famously dealing with the “ours”, they also skillfully recruiting all the youth into the multimillion -dollar army of their supporters.
They are strange people. They look like a team coach who bought a judge, and this coach rejoices after a linden penalty, so jumps, shaking his fists, as if the victory was real.
They will throw linden ballots into the urn and then they themselves will believe that 80%voted for them. They bring students to rallies by buses, promising either release from the tests, or vice versa, trouble in the standings, or simply giving them money. And then they themselves sincerely believe that the students came on their own initiative and with all their souls for them. They believe that it will also turn out with all youth on an all -Russian scale.
Nothing with you, my dear, will come out. Firstly, simply because young people are the least controlled part of society. The romance, and rebellion, nihilism, and do not care are still alive. The dream of portfolios, portraits of the president and flashing lights to most of them if it comes, then later.
Secondly, Yakemenko represents one, well-defined group of comrades and a certain group of interests. Just as adults are difficult to manage with the help of one party, so young people are difficult to instruct only from the standpoint of unlimited love for the Kremlin and its inhabitant. Young people have a lot of different interests, and the Kremlin among them is not among the first. And if they do not threaten troubles or not to give money, then the young simply will not spend time on this. Young people are much more worried about the opposite sex, music, funny parties, and there is also study, work, and indeed a bunch of different ideas. And in return they offer Seliger, where you can’t smoke, drink beer and wear panties-stings. Yes, such a Seliger is needed! If you just do not want to once become a minister.
I would still like to see a plan for the events of the new State Committee. Something except common words about patriotism. And some specific affairs, in addition to throwing eggs at the Estonian embassy. Not a “youth business” - to throw eggs.
Vasily 36 years old. For the minister, this is very little, and for the youth minister he is an old man. We are almost peers. Recently, I talked with students who are 13-15 years younger than me. These are completely different people. There seems to be no abyss between us, but in fact I have no idea what their views and interests are. I lagged behind them forever, because they are more modern and "advanced." Of course, they do not know something that I know. But they know much more, unknown to me. I can’t imagine how I could lead them if I even sincerely sought to improve the “youth affairs”. It is stupid to produce age segregation and establish committees for pensioners, for “women of Balzac age” or for those who “have a gray -haired in a beard, a demon in a rib”.But this is if it is sincerely believed that the Youth Committee was created precisely for the sake of young people, and not for the pleasure of bald men of pre -retirement age with their far -reaching plans.
