Is this a crisis?
Who said that the Russian economy is in a crisis?
I don't believe! What a crisis - there is the administration of the city of Vyatka Polyana, a monument to the PPSh machine gun was going to erect.
What is this crisis?!
There would be a crisis, then they would have been looking for money for the arrangement of military cemeteries.
And we just have prosperity. A whole program "Weapons of Victory".
In order to perpetuate, strengthen and direct. Patriotism? Well - I don't think. Rather in rhyme.
Now there will be a holiday. May 9. Victory! And there will be a parade. And a dozen veterans, the gunpowder of the nly people will sit in the stands. And there will be speeches. About what we remember, we value, we will not accept. And the aunts from the things will deliver gifts for the holiday to the surviving veterans. Buckwheat, but stew. Once a year of veterans, our authorities recall. And they want to get rid of gifts. Harch your stew yourself. I have a second grandfather, the kingdom of heaven, while he was alive, lowered all such walkers from the stairs, with their congratulations and gifts. Because - did not believe that it is from the heart. And then there is a monument to the machine gun.
With all my ambiguous attitude to the personality of the unbending revolutionary and the builder of communism, Comrade Stalin Joseph Vissarionovich, he would erect a monument for such an idea to its author, I think. In the form of a peg in a Russian pole.
There would be no to help people somehow, no! We will erect a monument to the PPSh. A piece of iron. Not a monument to the Shpagin itself, no, why! Automatic. Well, of course, veterans in Vyatka meadow, everything is generally excellent and they do not need anything. In addition to the monument to the PPSh. In bronze. And the monument to the T-34 tank is definitely necessary. And pistol TT. And a machine gun by Sudaev. And Katyusha! And a sq. And the tank is. And the cannon zis-3. And the sapper blade, which my first grandfather on the Kursk arc, cut the head of a German tanker, is also necessary.
Maybe then we will cut a bit of pensions from veterans? After all, for a good matter! On monuments.
Not funny to me. Bitterly.
What do you people create? As long as our grandfathers and grandmothers are alive, who, with their labor and blood, deprivation and pain, gave us the opportunity to live, a monument to the folk feat in the war can be only one - of them, veterans of the forefront and rear, prosperous old age. And a worthy posthumry.
And the monument of the PPSh will wait. Automat, it is iron.
