When I observe modern political life in Russia, especially its election enthusiasm, Alexey Kruchenykh’s words come to mind: “Dyr bul schil usbeshchur.” These words are an example of poetic insanity, a gesture of conscious nonsense. But there is practically nothing in language that does not contain the rudiments of meaning, even contrary to the intention of the author. Everything that is articulated in letters and phonemes is, one way or another, doomed to have meaning, even a distant, blurred one. So in this shocking “ubeshchur” I hear a full-fledged word, very expressive, and perhaps even irreplaceable in characterizing our era. In newspaper and radio reports, on the TV screen - how many of these hypocrites flash ! They come to the microphones in herds and greedily swallow air with their speeches, leaving an airless space around them.
UshchUR - an ideological lizard, a political strategist, an ideologist, one who has the power to convince and promise and uses persuasion as a weapon of power; official responsible for politics, ideology, propaganda, contacts with the press.
The word ubeshchur includes two semi-morphemes (morpheme fragments): ube (to wait) and (great) shchur . This second syllable also sounds like “lizard” and “foot-and-mouth”.
“ Ubeshchur ” is a mental monster, maybe a fossil, but a predatory one, prowling among us, a hunter of our heads. Convinces, promises, “assures,” exhorts. He returns to his den with the prey of many heads and licks their brains.
prowl around the Kremlin Flocks of Ubeshchurov ; they come here to drink. And a little further away, flocks of young, but already agile, completely ours, or rather, theirs, are frolicking .to convince, to convince is a verb according to the meaning of the noun “ convince ”.And who is this? - The main adviser of the ministry. - Did you come to convince? - No, he will present awards.
Attention, on the television arena there is a fight between two champions : Mr. B. and Mr. P. heavyweight
He reassured us for a million votes, and fulfilled his promises for a penny.
Please, don’t try to convince me , I understand everything, I sympathize, here’s my hand and signature.
podmAkh (cf. swing; noun, formed by truncation (zero suffix) from the verb “to wave”) - a gesture of obsequious repetition, opportunism, servility, servility.
Podmashka is a colloquial diminutive of “ podmashka ”.
Phrase: a leader with great ambition.
There are figures with great scope, and there are also with great scope . Alas, one does not exclude the other.In any bureaucratic system, for every worker on a large scale, there are dozens on a large scale .
You have a big swing, but you don’t get the swing, it’s more of an underswing.sweeping (cf. sweeping ) - inclined to wave, agree, please, serve those in power.Don't you think that with his promotion, Ryglov acquired managerial habits? - Yes, what manners! One big step . Under a new boss.
He is a not mediocre person, but he is too skilled . You can watch his films, but you can’t shake his hand.
A pun is a play on words that are similar in sound but different in meaning. Many politically topical news stories are created according to the punning principle (“democrats,” “privatization,” “deception”).
Tsaretvoretz (cf. courtier) - the one who creates kings.
There is a special breed of people, political advisers and mentors, who are courtiers, but consider themselves kingmakers . - Or maybe they are right? The king is played by his retinue.Firm of polytechnologists: " Tsaretvorets ". Its motto: "Tsars make history. We make kings."
The people were considered God-bearers, but turned out to be kingmakers . Or is it the same thing?
ulceration (cf. expression of will ) - ulceration, illness, damage to the will; such an “expression” of the will that testifies to its ulcers, its suppression, and manipulations with it.
Possible spelling: will(z)lenie .
Phrases: popular expression , civil will .
I read in the newspaper: “The upcoming elections are the free will of the people.” What is this - an accidental typo, a voice of the subconscious, a literary game, a political calculation?____________________________________________________________
Aphorism
And Caesar is not above grammarians. (Nec Caesar non supra grammaticos).
The Roman historian Suetonius (70-140) reports the circumstances of the birth of this phrase. One day, the grammarian Pomponius Marcellus noted a linguistic error in the speech of Emperor Tiberius.
The lawyer, Atey Capito, who was at the same time, stated that if the expression used by Tiberius does not meet the norms of Latin speech, then from now on it itself will become the norm, because the emperor said so. To this, the grammarian Pomponius resolutely objected, turning to Tiberius himself: “He is mistaken, for you, Caesar, can give citizenship rights to people, but not to words.”

totalgia (the root of the words totality , from the Latin totus, all, full , and nose tallia, from the Greek algos, suffering , pain ) - nostalgia for totality, longing for integrity, for the totalitarian system, for the Soviet past.
Derivatives: totalgIchesky , totalgIate (indulge in totalgia).
Totalgia is a multifaceted feeling. Totalgia can break out when eating amateur sausage or a can of stew, with their unique taste of a Soviet delicacy. Totalgia can be ideological, visual, gustatory, and even olfactory and tactile - I remember the dusty synthetic smell and the silky touch of a pioneer tie on the neck.
Totalgia is a longing for unity with the people.
To want, unlike a whipThis is the early Soviet poetic formula of totalgia from Boris Pasternak. Then, in the early 1930s, totalgia was still directed toward the communist future, like the dream of an intelligent individual about merging with a new breed of people. The current post-Soviet totalgia is mainly converted into Brezhnev's stagnation. But over time, the forms of no longer recurrent, but offensive totalgia become more and more noticeable.
In his short existence,
Work together with everyone
And at the same time with law and order.
Many people from the Soviet era, even the most anti-Soviet, share a sense of totalgia . After all, this is not someone else’s past, but our own: youth, anxiety, fear, which also decorates life when you look at it over your shoulder, from another time.
Somehow you started re-reading magazines from the 1970s again. Are you totalizing ?_________________________________________________________________...And now all the people are singing totalgic “songs about the main thing.”
Totalgia explains a lot in our time: the power vertical, one-party system, the leader-people axis... It is difficult to separate in this totalgia a memoir from a PR, and both of them from a utopia; most likely, this is a “memory of the future.”
