One fifth -year student of the Faculty of Law writes to us: " Where are the criteria by which you can determine which political ideas are correct and which do not? You do this: if you have democratic ideas, you can express them, if otherwise, you will float, not with the flow ." Reading this letter, I remembered something else, - once Chekhov wrote it to a friend of the writer. Something like this: stop, dear Jean, to show his independence, that is, to expose new people with their democratic views. This is vanity, manner of manner, not independence.
" Dear Anatoly Ivanovich! A forced police major from Moscow addresses you. He used to work as a leading engineer at the defense research institute, but in connection with privatization from the institute they made warehouses. I got a job at the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Information about current incidents. But I am not writing about that. My neighbor, a dentist, a wonderful soul. We recently watched a TV. One journalist. She took the microphone and proudly stated that she was a Jewish neighbor. In Russia, you do not have to brag about it. After all, we, Jews, made things in the seventeenth year. "After these words of the neighbor, I thought: why, for what purpose, the Jews led by the vampire Lenin made the October Revolution? I will not believe that they wanted the Russians to live with dignity. I am not left and not right, I just want to know why the Jews have made a revolution in Russia. Maybe you can help me understand this issue? Viktor Ivanovich Popov ".
Let's do it, Mr. Major. You will go to Moscow State University tomorrow, take a list of mandatory and additional literature at the course of Russian history there. You are given a year. If you are not very distracted, you can advance quite far. In May 2002, if we are both alive, you will write to me about your successes. Along the way, as it was, you will learn a lot of interesting things about the very habit of explaining the spontaneous disasters of the machinations of witches, and the revolution - the activity of evil people. You will make sure that this is an age disease of all tribes.
Viktor Marchenko, Ukrainian, citizen, Russian citizen writes from the city of Moscow Region , in Ivano-Frankivsk, I met a person who worked as a teacher of Lviv University for 20 years and has not learned a single Ukrainian word, which he boldly despised the language of someone else's land and customs. "Unfortunately, there are many of them in Ukraine. Moscow is being extended for them, and Ukraine is justified: “Mane, you were soap,” (forgive me, dear, for the fact that you have been a different example in Estonia, my relative learned three Estonian words: hello, goodbye and thank you. Estonian citizenship works in some Swedish-Estonian company, travels to Paris, Rome, Dresden . "
Viktor Marchenko writes that today Ukraine is Russify even faster than during the Soviet regime, only now it is done under a noise - under a very interesting noise, a cry more likely: under a cry of violent Ukrainization: " I remember how Lviv was more than twenty years ago. Then it was a Ukrainian city, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish it from Mytishch or Domodedovo ." The author resolutely protects Ukrainianizers. He recalls that in Soviet times, the Ukrainian language " was officially declared unpromising " (I would still say: almost officially). “ Having survived such shocks, ” Marchenko writes, “ any language will need rehabilitation. Such rehabilitation was held at the beginning of the twentieth century both Czech and Hungarian languages after the collapse of the German and Austro -Hungarian empires .”
The letter says a lot about the fact that the Russian state does not help its Ukrainian citizens retain their Ukrainians. In this regard, I recall that resident of Estonia, who in 30 years learned only three Estonian words, and when I had a need, when I really wanted to go on business to Paris, I took possession of the other three thousand words in a matter of months, and maybe all the ten, took possession of without much help from the Estonian state. It is useless to persuade an ordinary person to learn a language, it is useless to help him if he can live without this language. Turning a person to Ukraine when it is good for him and without Ukraine is to mock him. So he feels it, and there is nothing to be done. I don’t know what can help him understand a simple thing that Marchenko writes about: that not only innocently injured people are entitled to rehabilitation, but also languages, I don’t know that it can make him admit that it is fair, although it is associated with inconvenience and expenses, and sometimes looks like national-state tyranny. It is useful for Russian -speaking to residents of Ukraine to be in other countries, especially in Slavic.
The next letter: “ The most striking impression related to the Radio“ Freedom ”is August 19, 1991. At six in the morning I am going to go to work, and here is a message about the coup. I woke up my mother, she immediately surrendered: they say that now you, the Democrats, will definitely be imprisoned (then I was a deputy of the council of one of the workers of Leningrad). And then - Running to the Wesuhovsky factory, the distribution With the decrees of Yeltsin, the performance of the factory radio, as opposed to the activists, when it was all over, the group of deputies went to the offices of the party’s district committee and described the property: “Bust is one piece”, “Red - one piece” before entering the district committee building. Only one former instructor of the district committee went to the ear and hissed: “We will return!” Anatoly Ivanovich. “Were” ... So everything will be normal, as in the 91st, people who support the new government today will pass it for a sweet soul at the first time.
The author also refers to the youth who took place from different cities of Russia and the CIS to Moscow on the anniversary of the President of Putin. A holiday with speeches was arranged on Red Square. So the organization of young Putinites said about itself. Thanks to Putin, they, as the leader of this new Komsomol said, "turned to face Russia, and to the west - another place." Does this mean that the young Punin residents will not go further than Belarus, will not buy anything Western or limited only to those, for example, that Western objects as mathematics, physics and chemistry, geology and astronomy, computer business will not be held in schools and universities? Or maybe they will cease to go to schools and universities, since these institutions themselves entered the Holy Rus' from the Basurmansk West? All this is not entirely clear.
It is also not entirely clear whether these boys and girls will turn to a well -known place and to those money signs that they call bucks, Grunams, and green. Mr. Yabokunchik calls to do this all his fellow citizens in the Belarusian-Russian Union, if I read my last name correctly. “ Now we need to arm yourself with the mind and mind, ” he writes, “ so that we don’t have a fight from the European Union of capitalism. The Americans want to harness everyone to their sled. The capitalist needs our land and, first of all, free hands on it, because our man is honest, is used to working for small pennies. The capitalists need a territory for testing - and close to Russia to take it away. Dragonflies, cunning, mushrooms, wiping back and forth, enough money for a walk and hiding from their native land, from honest work, from their own ways of relatives.
So, apparently, a middle -aged person sets out in their own words that every day is said in the Duma of Russia, what he hears from the screens, reads in the largest newspapers, which is said in the walls of universities, defends in dissertations, which is contained in the official notes of presidential advisers. I say this, as the permanent listeners of the Radio "Freedom" know to replace questions: why, they say, read such letters to the microphone?
Also close to the sources of his wisdom, Mr. Yabokunchik also sets out how to dump the "capitalists" from Belarus and Russia. He offers to take the bull by the horns. A bull is a dollar. So you need to break off the horns. I read: “ Is there so many weak minds among the peoples to understand that the dollar was walking around the world and pumping out every monetary unit? The dollar should be determined by visual beauty. Our bunnies are much more beautiful than any dollar. We have our own money and they must have a worthy price. I went to America - there is another thing, we don’t have to get there. We don’t have to welcome alien. We wanted to be below the bunny, and they invented some international sanctions.
He asks the Radio "Freedom" to betray a publicity to his program. “ From such a program, ” writes, “ people will double their lives, will not want to die, they will provide themselves .” The author believes that it is successfully stated " for secondary minds - no higher education is needed, and even more so, Soviet, bloated by a legend." “I recognize your noble work and be glad to always help ,” tells us at the end.
Thank you, Mr. Yabokunchik, only because we are the very "capitalists" from which you want to save your fellow citizens. I think your program would be somewhat different if you asked yourself one question. Why are citizens, enterprises and governments of different countries of the world - the vast majority of countries - buy American money, this same dollar? For this, in the very one, to buy an American goods for it. What is an American product? This is American work. Who works the most on Earth? American. Whose product is the most willing to? American. Whose, therefore, the money is the most welcome and dear in the world? That's right, American. Why do Belarusian grandmas store their savings not in bunnies, but in bucks? They vote for the "dad", and they trust the “uncle” money piece of paper ... Because Uncle Sam works, work hard, and they can accurately judge by the weight of the dollar how he works, how they work hard.
A letter from St. Petersburg: “ I am turning to you on behalf of investors - participants in shared housing construction in St. Petersburg. We are all about 300 people, became victims of scammers - arrogant and omnipotent, since they acted with obvious connivance, if not under patronage, administration and law enforcement agencies of St. Petersburg. ”
There is a detailed presentation of history, ordinary Russian history, where, on the one hand, there are gullible citizens, on the other hand, prodigal thieves, among whom officials occupy the key place: “ In 1995, a joint -stock company operated in the central office of the project institution of the Ministry of the Interior, which attracted the funds of investors for the alleged construction of residential buildings. Having not built more than one square meter ... ” - and so on. " All our appeals to the city administration stumble upon a blank wall. We also addressed Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, but the appeal was transferred to people who brought the matter to such a sad fortune. Chairman of the Committee of creditors Jaskin Andrey Innokentievich. "
I cannot advise anything that the author is not known to this letter. I can say what others do in such cases. They complain, ask, demand. They try to go anywhere, but where they are obliged or can do something, to the court - first of all. Then you immediately hear: " Through the court, nothing to achieve ." When you say: well, you need to seek the real courts in the country, they will look at you as an empty one. And what else can be said if nothing else remains, how to achieve and achieve? Go through three hundred robbed residents of St. Petersburg across the city to the house where thieves or patrons of thieves are sitting - it is clear that it would be ... a little more than nothing. The answer is also known to this: "Why, try them to collect them, these three hundred! Brown!" It is also true, although today, it seems, rather sluggish than they are intimidated. And, of course, they are absorbed in survival, garden plots, there are no other mental strength to anything.
“ You are very competent, ” Vakil Gumbotov writes to me. “ Lenin, Stalin, at the Soviet Union, formed you on your head, you and with whom you work - you all the guts have passed all the guts to me, I left some eggs. I am illiterate, moreover, it’s hard for me to write, but I hope that you will read it. I live - bread and water. Oh, how I want a return of socialism, a centralized system, everything is a centralized system, everything is a centralized system, everything is a centralized system, everything - For free, as it was, until this fascist appeared, a smelly unwashed creature ... "The famous surname is called here, after it - and the second, no less well -known. Congrative words occupy several lines. From those words that can be pronounced aloud in front of the microphone, in addition to the "creature" I dare to take only "bitch" and "fascist". " They destroyed my Fatherland, my Leninism -Stalinism. I do not want anything new, my address is not a house or a street, my address is the Soviet Union ." The last words rewards those inhabitants of Moscow, for the most part Russian (this emphasizes) who allowed these two figures to “ unhook the steam locomotive, that is, Russia, from wagons ,” that is, from the allied republics, gave green light to this steam locomotive. “ The vile KGB, the vile police!” He shouts. “At one time, try your word against the Soviet Union - you will be eaten with shit, and then one day they changed their own skin. The same bitches that were crushed by Amina and his presidential palace in Afghanistan,“ why didn’t they do this with Gorbachev and Yeltsin? ” I do not want to insult: it would be better to close your mouth.
A wonderful comparison: Russia is a steam locomotive, other parts of the former empire are wagons. Vakil Akhmedovich with his Stavropol Territory remained on a steam locomotive, but what if he had unhooked the wagons! Or is the whole point that after that I had to sit on bread and water? After that, it means because of this, he decided. It is difficult to expect from a hungry and offended person that he reason differently, but how many people who took bread with caviar, and reason exactly like that. It is not in vain that it is said: not by bread by one ... I will remember the dignity with which Vakil Akhmedovich declares his will - not just an opinion, but will. Life goes so, but I do not want it to go like that - I, Vakil, to whom my father Ahmed gave the name. The dignity, importance of the old man, but also the fervor of the young dzhigit, turned to enemies, traitors, on these despicable panties, who unhooked the steam locomotive and rolled on it not there.
“ What are you, such is the world surrounding you, ” Socrates quotes Yuri Weis Wedt from Narva. He talks about the letters of our listeners: “ A person who writes to you, without suspecting it, breaks out of the iron grip of the majority, from the captivity of common opinion and for a moment becomes a personality. This confession is aloud, and the person, revealing the soul, is cleanses, culture means cultivation. The culture begins with the culture. But there is different culture, culture, culture, culture, culture. The cooks that were supposed to be controlled by the state, one, the culture of the KGB, which controls the state today, is not heard.
Thanks for the letter, Yuri, other listeners write about the next Russian impulse to unanimity. In this case, the unification of the “parties” of Luzhkov and Putin - “parties” in quotation marks, but large, strong and humble is often called ... At first glance, it is difficult to agree that when a person writes to “freedom”, then, even for a moment, he becomes a person, if he was not, if he was a virgin soil, because you know, whose words he repeats, which leaders Sangings, but then you understand that you are right. We know that a person does not say his own, but he does not know this, he sincerely believes that he discovered the “conspiracy” of Gorbachev and Yeltsin independently, without the hint of the people's poet of Ukraine Stepan Oleinik, he is convinced that he says his, who was fed up-and in this sense, he manages himself as a person. In my opinion, it is wrong, by the way, that, how many people, so many opinions. For a single opinion, it happens, millions are holding ... At every step you can meet a person who is smarter than his opinions, because in fact they are not his property-he hurried to pick them up somewhere.
Under the next letter, two letters: "L. I". Читаю: " Тёмное облако единомыслия собирается над нами. Наступает звёздный час людей, которых с библейских времён называют одержимыми. Они как магнитом стягиваются в толпы разных фанатов. Они всегда вместе, в клубке, стаей. И посмотрите на людей разумных. Каждый - отдельно, каждый тихо беседует со своей совестью. Одержимые не любят говорить о своих грехах. Кто-нибудь, кто называет вас врагом России, покаялся хоть в одном своём грехе? Я не слышала в вашей передаче такого письма. Что сказали и говорят нам те несколько демократов, что оказались среди бюрократических акул? "Работайте друг для друга! Используйте свободу! Не смотрите в рот государству - у него ничего нет для вас, оно обанкротилось". А мы что? "Нет, - ревём дружно, - давай райскую жизнь сейчас и сразу!" Результат: пастыри разогнаны, стадо пасут волки. Надежда? На молитвы немногих, а главное - на Божью милость ".
