Many years ago, Vladimir Volfovich uttered a historical phrase about how our army would wash boots in the Indian Ocean. You know, at the same time I remembered a story from my own student. Early morning, at the “Sachka” near the institute, students are dripping. An elderly teacher of mathematics sits with the newspaper. The janitor moors with a broom and, approaching sitting on a bench, everyone offers to remove their legs, sorry, this is a quote, “on x ...”. It comes to mathematician, pronounces the phrase on duty, and in response receives the grumbling "technically difficult." This is about the Indian Ocean.

But the dream, she, you know, is inescapable and calls the souls of romantics. Yesterday, eyewitnesses told me the next story. Israel. A group of pilgrims from Russia sets off in holy places. They are met by a guide, who speaks well in Russian due to the fact that this language is dear to him, and, as you already guessed, the title in Israel of the nation. The pilgrims were indignant why they were not given an Orthodox guide. Then they began to outrage the fact that the Jews selected (!!!) "our shrines, and now they also take money for us to visit these shrines ...". The next consideration was that Russia must certainly increase the supply of weapons to the Arabs, and in response to somehow allow the Orthodox to fall to the shrines as you wish and free of charge. The question of other Christian denominations was indignant due to the insignificance of them, as well as heresy, accompanying them by definition. Further, the passions were heated.
A sledgehammer fell on the head of the unfortunate guide: “You are a people cursed by God, God will destroy you, for you have not accepted Christ, your Messiah is an antichrist, which is written in the apocalypse” ... The guide politely asked to indicate a specific place from the apocalypse. The Bible was extracted from the bag, but after unsuccessful attempts to find a specific place was recognized that the pilgrim did not read this place, but in Moscow there is an old man who clearly stated this moment.
From acquaintances working in Israeli hotels, I often hear that the father is no, no, and it will forbid pilgrims to eat Matsu, since it is involved in the blood of Christian babies ...
Guys, in our yard of the 21st century !!! Here you can recall the editor -in -chief of Echo of Moscow, Alexei Venediktov, who once advised to explain to calling a live broadcast with the text of “Bay the Jews, save Russia” that some of their like -minded people were hanged as a result of the Nuremberg process. It is possible that their father did not introduce this group of Orthodox pilgrims with the fact that world fascism in 1945 was defeated not without the participation of the Soviet people. Such pilgrims, excuse me, disgrace the human faith and, perhaps, even the Providence of God.

Here, to be honest, I am terribly sorry that history has not received development. For example, judicial. Because, say, in the United States deep down, you can hate black hatred with burning hatred. But the mouth open on this occasion is guaranteed troubles. Court processes and large costs. I understand well that the guide working for a certain company will not bring the matter to the conflict, but to which the moral level of pilgrims, their priests and mothers are shocked! Already, they have mastered the plane, and they use mobile phones, and inertness and intolerance remain in a vessel mothballed forever at the same level. I want to immediately draw the attention of everyone who measures my nose with a ruler: I was born in Moscow, speak Russian, and this country is mine no less than yours. And I do not want all the children of all citizens of Russia to study the foundations of Orthodoxy in schools. I think this idea is immoral. Yes, I can’t do anything for this former Soviet, and now the Russian Orthodox Church, without taking off the shoulder strap from under the cassock, stopped imposing its canons to all 140 million Russians. I can only draw your attention to xenophobia, savagery and dense, which is blessed by the sign of the Cross.
