Writer and Kakatel

Ilya Milstein, 12/12/2014

From the magazine "Branch".

The scandal in the institution, which rightfully bears the name of Vladimir Medinsky, ended in an unexpected way. The ministry has disowned its minister. It turned out that about the " Rashka-Snow ", the dignit of Medinsky did not say anything. The writer Medinsky spoke about the “Rashka-Snow”.

The news is interesting in many ways.

First of all, this split personality of the famous person and his, as it were, moral priorities, intrigue. When, for example, he says that Stalin did not attack Poland at all that Tchaikovsky is not gay, but Russia is not Europe, the laundry press service is silent and does not answer calls, and this means that we hear the speech of not a boy, but a state husband. We take note of the official point of view of the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation. All this is very serious.

If his Excellency allows himself, slightly liberated, to use the kindergarten in vocabulary, then he is pulled in the department, albeit respectfully. Like, the writer woke up in Medinsky and crumbles, a creative nature, there are all sorts of searches, inimitable humor, an original language. The minister rested at that moment, and what demand from the writer? The ethical code - journalists need it, and the head of the Ministry of Culture in moments of leisure is not equal to himself.

All this story is also curious in cognitive terms. In the sense, how little we know about a person in general and about Medinsky in particular. Vladimir Rostislavovich has a persistent reputation of the plagiator, and he, it turns out, the thinker is quite an universal and somewhere even a word-ruler. The Russophobes and those jokers, for whom there is nothing saint, in use, other, albeit similar expressions, and the minister used rare, unstable. The minister of Russophobes struck and struck his original gift.

In addition, delights the stamina and incidence of our hero. As you can understand, it is literally besieged by directors and screenwriters, knocking money out of the treasury on a given topic, they probably also take a share, and he refuses them all, well done. I will not admit, he says that films “which spat on the chosen power” are filmed at the funds washed in our laundry. ” You see, it’s not even Russia, not a party and not a people, as it was used to speak in large bossies, but this power chosen by Churov - not everyone Zhdanov, or Demichev, rose to such heights, at least in words.

The chosen power should evaluate such statements.

Apparently, she evaluates - and supports the minister, which is why Medinsky is so relaxed in her speeches. True, he was not chosen, but he is a judge, and if he declares that the director Vitaly Mansky with his "anti -state" festival "Artdokfest" will not receive money from the Ministry of Culture, as long as the Medinsky minister, there can be no doubt: it will be so. No one will receive anything, with rare exceptions, and the lucky ones in his lists for loyalty will be enlightened through. And this is for a long time, since in our sacred time Vladimir Rostislavovich is an ideal look in the laundry.

By the way, Vitaly Mansky and like him probably had in mind, reincarnating in the writer and passing his illiterate sentence, in which the views of people such as Medinsky were expressed on such as Mansky. “Rashka -Knight” is not only an evaluative judgment, it is also a kind of ideology and stylistics. This is a bossy reading in the hearts of the creative intelligentsia, in that inimitable official language, when the minister briefly forgets and becomes the one who is he. Someone will call him a writer, someone else with a ruble, a fool and obscurant, and we will call him a child. The long -lived and miraculously preserved child, which saved the primitive idea of culture. This is, they say, a good film, about Russia that we have in battles and now love and eat a big spoon, and this is a poop, we do not eat it. And let the director die of hunger, because we will not give him money. Everything is honest, boys.

Well, from the point of view of the economic opinion of Medinsky, it seems very true. The times are harsh in the yard, the current budget is not imprisoned for the culture, there are more and more about missiles and tanks, and you can only welcome the initiative of the minister, who decided to save on films, the genre originality of which he so successfully outlined. In our laundry, a zealous owner.

True, if this goes on, then the money in his ministry will not even be enough for films about Rashka-Crinet, a sacred and a non-nevale. If this goes on, then the entire treasury will be pulled out for the needs of the military -industrial complex, the FSB, the internal troops and the Rushi Tuei in the broad sense. However, the minister will remain. The ministry, which voluntarily interprets the speech of the Honorary Doctor , may even disperse as unnecessary, and it will be preserved. Because the culture is immortal and its symbol, an unfading bath-lace trust, will remain for centuries. Lighting the road wrapped in a sheet.

Tactics of scorched Chechnya

A pair of phrases (on a pair of phrases ) 12.12.2014

About what is happening in Chechnya. "Memorial" states that nine houses were burned ... in which relatives of militants involved in the terrorist attack on December 4 lived ...

In general, it is very difficult to disassemble in the details of what is happening in Chechnya ... There the relationship remained the same, the inter -plane ranges, the interlump stresses remained ... the internal world does not exist there. And such manifestations of violence that are characteristic of the Caucasus since ancient times. Yes, they appear ... to judge by our Moscow standards about what is happening there is extremely difficult ... The power method was chosen, and with the power method there is no humanitarian options. Manifestations of dictatorship, strength, they are necessary, and they will be made, in my opinion, further.

Shode Muladzhanov, editor -in -chief of the newspaper "Moskovskaya Pravda"

I want my name to guard our boundaries with fear of stronger chains and fortifications, so that my word be for the Asians by law, or rather inevitable death. The condescension in the eyes of the Asians is a sign of weakness, and I am strictly inexorably strict from humanity. One execution will preserve hundreds of Russians from death and thousands of Muslims from treason.

Alexey Ermolov, Russian governor in the Caucasus in 1816-1827.

Theater collision

A pair of phrases (on a pair of phrases ) 12/11/2014

Here is the endless show [Konstantin] Bogomolov: neither the plot, nor the characters ... Tsarevich Demetrius and the son of Godunov, the actor plays, but the actress ... is somewhat different from the Pushkin text ... Part of the semantic load is assigned in Godunov to the credits. In anticipation of the inauguration of the new king to the screens, replacing each other, the following information is given: "The people are stupid cattle", "The people patiently waits for him to be further." For this, the actors go on stage? Do we have to support such an “elevated purpose of the theater”, fed by his carriers from a golden bowl?

Ilya Smirnov, observer of Izvestia

Meyerhold hated standing water, yawn, emptiness ... All his life he was accompanied by attacks. In 1911, the innovation Menshikov was indignant at the production of Boris Godunov: “I think that G. Meyerhold took the bailiffs from his Jewish soul, and not from Pushkin, who has neither bailiffs nor Knuns ...” Some articles written a quarter of a century later were, right, not cleaner and more fairly than the words above ...
