Man and machine gun
It is impossible to overestimate the interest of the Russian public in monuments and monuments - on the network they are able to argue about monuments in Poland and Ukraine, Vladimir Saint in Moscow and General Lee in the United States.
Another battlefield is a new monument to Mikhail Kalashnikov, with a pomp installed in the very center of Moscow

But many monument does not suit many. Claims, I must say, do not even begin with Kalashnikov, but with Medinsky.
Medinsky at the opening of the monument to Mikhail Kalashnikov in Moscow: "His machine gun has become one of the cultural brands of Russia." No comment.

What a minister, such a brand.
When the cultural brand of Russia to the music of the USSR anthem is consecrated by the representative of the Russian Orthodox Church, you involuntarily recall the words of Deluz: "Many people who should not be in psychiatric hospitals are still there, while many of those who should be in them are not there" ..
Again, there is an occasion to recall the old accusations of Kalashnikov in plagiarism (you can read, for example, here and here ).
In Moscow, a monument was opened to Mikhail Kalashnikov. And when will the monument to Hugo Shmaysser are erected?

It would be nice to supplement the monument to Kalashnikov
a small composition at the pedestal:
The old man with the book - Hugo Schmaysser reads the "Quiet Don".
But there are even more moral and aesthetic complaints.
It feels like Kalashnikov looks at the machine, and is surprised - "What kind of crap they put me here?" pic.twitter.com/jnvh5uelvm

Monument to the Kalashnikov assault rifle on the garden ring, it will be stronger than the Yakut Rooster from the manure

OK then. Memotk Kalashnikov. Let us be something to be proud of. If you calculate how many people on the planet are killed from his weapons, millions will turn out. (Although what’s interesting - I didn’t find the war with the Nazis, I appeared after. So where did he defend the borders of our homeland? In Afghanistan? In Georgia? In Ukraine? In Africa?)
OK. Let Kalashnikov. But why is such a mediocre, ugly sculpture? Even in Soviet times, this idol would not have passed the artistic council. Well, why are we so disfiguring our city, disgrace before the whole world?
When I saw the sketches, even in the workshop of Salavat Shcherbakov, I thought: stylistically it is a monument to the Afghan warrior. I take my words back. In a finished form, it resembles a monument to the dashing nineties. Brothers, don't shoot at each other. Against the background of the stall, it would look more convincing.
I always thought where our authorities got such a passion for ugly monuments. And then he went to their cemeteries and calmed down. It is strange that they are not building fences with wreaths around their Petrov, Vladimirov and Kalashnikov. As around their brothers with Kalash, scattered through the cemeteries of our God-related Fatherland since the 90s.
Monument to Putin's infantryman
In Moscow, a monument to Kalashnikov was opened. He is monstrous. How monstrous and all other “gifts of the capital” from court sculptors like the current Salavat Shcherbakov (besides Kalashnikov, he also made us made of Prince Vladimir Vladimirovich near the Kremlin).
I'm not talking about the fact that the monument to Kalashnikov is a monument to the instrument of murder. Not to say that Kalashnikov has nothing to do with Moscow at all. Not even to say that behind the monument there is a “earth hemisphere” complementing it with George the Victorious, who aimed a spear somewhere in the United States.
I will not even talk about aesthetic disagreements with Medinsky, Sobyanin and others like them, who in childhood have not played up to the soldiers and now increase them hundreds of times, placing them throughout the city.
I better tell one story. Under Stalin, the Army Theater was built in Moscow - you probably all know this building at the exit from the Dostoevskaya metro. On its roof now - just a platform with a flag, looking slightly unfinished. The fact is that there was actually an end - the statue of the Red Army. And this same Red Army soldier would have to “guard” another statue - Lenin, who crowned the Palace of Soviets, and the not -built monster on the site of the current XXA, is also the Pussy Riot basin.
Under Stalin, the monstrous Red Army soldier did not have enough money and time. And the current authorities found both funds and time to realize their Freudian fantasies and paste out in the city center of the Stata Vooot with such an automatic. Sergey Semenovich, Vladimir Rostislavovich, maybe to a psychoanalyst?
All this Soviet style rattling with iron, all these cross -bearing aircraft will not remain symbols of the era for long. Already just in the fact of their own squalor. In the meantime, Muscovites received another slap in the face of social taste.
Another monument to Medinsky. Soon these monsters will be in every square. To know in whose time we live.
And I even feel sorry for Kalashnikov. We met on the air (remember, Ksenia Basilashvili?)
Such a peaceful, modest old man. From a simple large family (the mother gave birth to 18 children, eight survived)
I got to the front very young, said that "the Germans are to blame for inventing the machine gun."
He was ridiculously told how the children were called in the mosambica by the name Kalash (whole, says, villages of Kalashi))
Now they made a laughing stock from the great designer. By golly, you will remember a kind word and Tsereteli! He has at least some semblance of artistic thinking.
And now we will eat this Shcherbakov with his bulging gigantomania.
Why is the Soviet man grateful to the Kalashnikov assault rifle?
Kalashnikov is the post -war natives of that era when the USSR pacified Hungary and Czechoslovakia, climbed into Angola and Afghanistan, armed China and North Korea, armed Arab and South American terrorist organizations, supplied the weapons of everyone who wanted to shoot people.
Then he managed to shoot a lot of former Soviet people themselves inside the country. And they should also be grateful: all the same, you are killing your domestic, and not some kind of overseas rubbish.
In general, there is something to be proud of.
The militarization of public consciousness is in full swing. Well, do not develop, is reliable - to fight.
The monument was erected by Mikhail Kalashnikov ... But Svyatoslav Fedorov should be. It’s easier to kill people than returning them the ability to see.
“My spiritual pain is unbearable, the same insoluble question: since my machine gun has deprived people of life, therefore, I, Mikhailo Kalashnikov, ninety -three years old, the son of a peasant woman, a Christian and Orthodox in his faith, is guilty of the death of people, even the enemy? The more I live, the more often this issue will drill my brain ...”
This is from Kalashnikov’s letter to Patriarch Kirill shortly before his death. And below - the monument to Kalashnikov, which was installed yesterday in Moscow.
What you thought about, the country needs a two -meter machine gun now - and no reflection. And the Freudians would notice that the sculptor Shcherbakov does not just eat weakness to the powerful guns of the murder (before the AK-47 there was a sword of Prince Vladimir at the Kremlin) of a certain form.
I have nothing against the monument to the designer of our most famous brand - the Kalashnikov assault rifle, but from the point of view of artistic and ideological virtues - this came out full crap.
I think Mikhail Kalashnikov deserved more monuments throughout Russia than Solzhenitsyn, etc. Liberot together taken ... Pic.twitter.com/xlhnatfrf

At Liberastia, it is somehow hellishly bombing from the monument to Kalashnikov.
Kalashnikov is the great. And its machine gun is great.
Although this is precisely the problem of social engineering, which I wrote about at one time, was.
For our wild world, Kalash was too simple and reliable.
The new monument on the garden ring would be very popular if he portrayed the famous gunsmith Kalashnikov for a reason, but shooting from the machine gun of his name Chubais, Sechin and Rotenbergs.
Well, in the end - a little modern poetry!
You will die of laughter.
Only I am no problem
Best of all in our company
I disassembled AKM.
How peas scattered
I have a machine gun.
But Komrota cursed.
I was not happy with the commodity.
Collected for hours
We, like a hybrid.
The mocked us
And the political officer joked:
“For military science
You are not good at all.
Don't take it into your hands at all
Better you are AKM. "
Nobody was killed
Kindness on the face.
And now they hoisted
On the garden ring.
Automatic Creator
And his creation.
Do not worry, buddy.
Still nothing.
Each shmara is pair.
Tears of happiness from the eyes.
So, in full swing
Improvement with us.
Didn't the news kill you?
Not a heart attack, not a stroke?
Activists of Christ
They set fire to the Ministry of Culture.
You are satisfied: okay,
Like, let them among themselves ...
You are not at all annoying
That only howls are everywhere.
That only turnips everywhere
Crazy lads.
And spiritual scrapers
On the remains of Moscow.
Pip the Komsomolskaya soul
About the great pogrom.
But put on Nikolskaya,
Where the shot was the house
Or Butovsky glorious
For example, a landfill.
He, of course, is not the main
And the last is not him.
The machine is good.
And the agricultural is aged
Touching. So what
Do you have to be depressed now?
Improvements for the sake
Every day a carnival.
Here is the Zaryadye Park
I visited the other day.
Sanctions sweets
Eat in the holes of Moscow.
Only with the current government
You have become happy.
