The return of Lenin

The birthday of the revolutionary Vladimir Lenin is adjacent to the Orthodox Easter, and once every decades these dates even coincide. The leader of the proletariat, unlike Jesus Christ, has not yet been risen. True, judging by how the Communists honor it, there is such a probability as the second coming of Lenin. On the eve of Ilyich’s next birthday, Sol met with Perm Communists and found out why still Grandfather Lenin was a good leader, and all the rest were enemies and fools.

- Of course, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin is not enough! We are all waiting for the revival of Lenin! Now in Russia there is no Lenin, one shit. But there is Lenin in Belarus ! Old Man Lukashenko - all Lenin Lenin! And what? Some are the nonsense, others were sold, such as intelligentsia with doctors. And I don’t want to see you here anymore, you are a cop, I guess.

- Why are you asking about Lenin? Do you think Vladimir Ilyich is more powerful than Stalin ? Lenin did not do as much as Stalin. He, the poor man, died early when Russia was still backward. So I don't know. Stalin is better, and you ask about Lenin, Lenin has nothing to do with it. I think so. There are rarely people like Stalin and Lenin. Therefore, there are no such people now. Stalin and Lenin had a goodness! And now there are no wise. Everyone was disappointed in everything and became indifferent. When they made a perestroika - it was necessary to finish Gorbachev to the end. And it would be good. And Yeltsin ruined everything, they plundered everything, so it turned out that people do not believe in anything. No matter what accomplishments are made - nothing goes to the end, everything is tied in indifference. Yes, and I do not believe in anything. My nostalgia is simple. Well, there is Putin and Medvedev . Putin and Medvedev are good guys. But it’s not at all that Stalin and Lenin.

- Lenin is a very complex figure. Those processes that woke him can be compared only with the fall of the Roman Empire. After all, how did Lenin start? He came out of the Narodniks! The phenomenon of Lenin could appear only in a very educated country. He appeared after the reforms that made it possible to get an education in wide layers. Lenin is a consequence of the reforms of Russian kings in the education system. Yaroslav the wise also conducted such. They completely in vain threw Lenin’s works from history. He has wonderful, serious things! Schopenhauer has the work "Sunset of Europe". Russia in the 1950s-1970s experienced the same processes-the decline of the elite. The elite became loose, she began to think about material. This process was on the whole continent. Sartre tried to wake Europe, but there were already general attenuation processes. From the point of view of philosophy, this is not yet meaningful. But socialism has nothing to do with it. Nobody never denied the ideas of social justice. Today in the German parliament there is a faction that offers to build communism! Not socialism, but communism! Everything is difficult here. The problem is that science is weak. What are large philosophers of the second half of the twentieth century. Call? In-o-o-oh. You need to understand what is happening in science, and not touch Lenin. Is this an urgent problem about Lenin with Mausoleum? He lies there and lies. And it will lie down a hundred years.

- Now, if they remove Lenin from the mausoleum, then this will be a good characteristic for the authorities. This will mean that our power is worthless at all. Firstly, modern Russia is bourgeois. Such a figure as Lenin, she absolutely does not need. Lenin was against capitalism. But the people need him. To the people who would like to return to socialism. And not just return, but apply a certain force! Make the bourgeois! Now this is not yet possible. Capitalism seems to many to give hope to many. But twenty years were enough to expose his ulcers. This is a decaying system. The Communist Party exists to prepare the basis for the departure of capitalism. Trends clearly show that socialism is the future. But when the future comes is unknown. By the way, who are you representing? I did not hear anything about the newspaper Salt . Let me, what views do you adhere to? Trying to sit on many chairs, right? There is not a single newspaper that would be independent. And all statements about apoliticality are deception! All the same, your editors expresses a certain opinion, and this opinion is suspiciously not declining to socialism! You are deceivers.

“It's a pity that my husband is not with me now.” Wow, he would tell you about Lenin! What am I? I think we are not paid attention to. On the elderly who wanted to build a better life. But it did not work, because the leaders are rowing for themselves. But I have hope! We all think this is temporary. That everything will return. And your old age will not be as wretched as ours. And how soon you will live well depends on the population. A couple of decades will pass to socialism and new Lenin. I want this transition to occur peacefully. But here I have a husband, an avid communist, says that so far people do not take pitchfork and guns - nothing will happen. The husband reasons everything correctly, but I'm afraid for people, I’m afraid for you, this blood will spill! My husband only votes for the Communists. The rest of the crooks, pockets and that’s all. They would just have a shake Lenin from a place. And you have to leave it. Why are the leaders not clean in other countries? They are left for memory. Let the memory remain. No wonder we wore ties and badges!

- Definitely, a new Lenin is needed. And in general, there are not enough people who were at that time. There are many reasons why Lenins are no more. With stagnant there was information hunger. There was a faith in perestroika. Then there was hope for Yeltsin. When people are deceived many times, they, of course, are disappointed. Maybe our ideology will prevail again, but not soon. I see how few people are going to rallies. This is a long way. And a smooth transition from capitalism to socialism is hardly possible. And there is not even a revolutionary situation! A fifth of Permians came to the polls in Perm. If it is difficult for people to come to the polls or to the rally, then they will not come to the revolution.

- I am like Lenin, very longing for such as Lenin. Now at the top you don’t understand who. This is injustice. And the reason is theft. But I do not lose hope, I grew under socialism. We grew up gullible, honest, and now they are deceiving us as they can. I'm tormented. I have a son - a childhood disabled person, the first group, for life. He is not competent. I came to see the [former head of Perm Igor] Shubin about social traveling, so his secretary told me - and you hand over your son to a psychiatric hospital! I say-yes ah?! I will talk to Shubin on this issue, I say, and your business is only to write down. She asked her if she had children. Rent, I say, yours in a psychiatric hospital, then we'll see. And I will no longer come to you, I say. And left. I have not met this under socialism. I myself was in the Soviet government, they received me there, they helped me a lot. And now I have been robbed. I am a gullible person. I sold the apartment to the company, and the company went bankrupt, and where is my money now? Capitalism turns people into animals. But not everyone! But the youth does not understand this. They are zombie, we have a lot of sects that we need to fight. I hope for socialism. We can’t live without him. But the revolution is not needed, you need to communicate with people, configure more for understanding. Young people do not even want to listen. How much I spoke about this in the tram! One says - what did you want? The Communists, he says, also stole and killed! I say no! The Communists even if they did it, it was always possible to turn to who you want to turn to, and now everything is in the iron doors. People were much kinder and better. You need to try to help people. I have glaucoma and cataracts in both eyes. My sister worked at the Law Academy, I buried my husband. They searched for ten days - found him in the morgue. Only buried - three days later they call, they say, the sister died. So I was left. With a disabled son. And who needs him except me? Nobody. He is not interesting to anyone. And I wish you good luck. Good luck, health and happiness.
