Signs of the times

In our time of widespread shamanism and mysticism, how can one not pay attention to the signs of the festive day of the anniversary of Crimea?

For the island-peninsula itself, this date is out of the blue. Literally. Record sudden snowfall, dozens of accidents, traffic jams everywhere, no traffic, no light. You will inevitably think about the topic “even nature on this day...”.

There has been no snow in Moscow for a long time. The sun is shining, thousands of ordinary people, enjoying their day off, have arrived at the ritual rally. And among the fun and flowers - a mountain of other bouquets, right here on the bridge. As a reminder that someone has to give their life for someone else’s madness and adventurism. It is in this place on this day that such thoughts cannot help but appear.

Well, in Samara the word CRIMEA was laid out with the bodies of students on the huge Kuibyshev Square. Placing the bodies of living people for the sake of symbols is our long-standing tradition. That's why we need living bodies! The body is for the sake of business.

But it’s not so insurmountably far from Samara to the place where young guys really give up their bodies along with their souls - and not for the sake of an installation, but for the sake of... and why, in fact, not for the sake of?! In Donbass, “Russian World” is being recreated by reenactors and installers. They have already used hundreds of bodies for reconstructions. These bodies were not laid out so festively and cheerfully, and these bodies did not form any inscriptions. But for someone who not only eats with his head, but periodically also thinks, everything in our life is clear and without inscriptions all over the area. Clear without unnecessary symbols and unnecessary words.

However, no. The mountain of patriotic posters thrown in the area of ​​Red Square after the end of the “rally-concert” suggests that those who have a blue screen instead of a brain can do just fine without words and symbols. It's time for fun. Business before pleasure. Throw patriotism into the pile.
