Compromises

17 February 2012 Anton Oresh

There are different compromises. I was not even so much upset by the story itself with Chulpan Khamatova as the reaction to her many ideological opponents of the regime. Like, saving specific children, she will destroy even more, because she supports the criminal system.

You know, my friends, these are all words. Just like the words that I, they say, will never act like that in such a situation. I will never retreat, I don’t bother, don’t make it ... Fu? Flu? This is almost always the reasoning of people who did not have to show fundamental, courage, to stand to the end in an extreme situation.

I love our "Echo" votes on the air on issues about the conditional Alexander of the Matrosovs. And would you go to protest, and would go with your bare hands on riot police? Yes! - They say 80 percent of the calling. Or maybe Udaltsov stop the hunger strike and regret health? No! Strive to the victorious end! - Insist two -thirds of the respondents. Well, go yourself to riot police with your bare hands! Hungry, like Udaltsov! What are you not starving? Where are you with your bare hands - why is there riot police, but you are not visible?

All this is chatter! But Chulpan Khamatova, in addition to the acting profession, has the work of her whole life - a fund that saves the health of thousands of children. On which, by the way, these critics and one hundred rubles did not sacrifice. And now a dilemma arises in front of Chulpan: either it will be withdrawn in the agility for Putin, or its fund will not receive important monetary assistance from the state. Too much indicates that it was such an alternative. And what to do? Yes, those who twisted her hands - they are final bastards and will burn in hell. But what should she do? For the sake of saving in the future, abstract people to sacrifice in the present lives of quite specific ones, which she knows by names and in the face that suffer from her eyes? Yes, here and with someone worse than Putin you will enter the deal, frankly. Moreover, Putin really helped the Chulpan fund, and personally she from Vl.V. probably did not see other than good. But nevertheless, she still did not go to the proxies, saying that he was doing little of this.

Khamatova does this not for himself. Not for money, not in order to get state millions and immediately steal them. She does not win anything personally, except that she puts her reputation in the eyes of decent people. But to condemn it my tongue will not turn. Like Dr. Roshal, who went to the Popular Front and to the trustee. Such people will count it, and God will forgive them for this compromise.

But, as I said, compromises are different. And I’m not even about those who are not so who loves Putin, for 1000 rubles I went to the Poklonnaya. I’m about those who simply did not contact the authorities, did not look for an adventure on his ass, did not want to have a problem-and went to the rally, noted in some piece of paper, stood a little and left. It seems that he didn’t do anything bad, he didn’t tear his shirt on himself, he didn’t even receive money. It was easier.

This is the difference between compromises. You can make a deal with conscience and the devil at the same time - if there is no personal self -interest in this, and if you do it for the sake of other people to help them, so that they feel good. And you can do everything the same - but so that you are not bad! Because it is easier. No, I will not even water these, others here - everyone decides for himself. But there is nothing to respect me for.
