Your letters

In one of the previous programs (or in the previous one?), I said, answering the listener's question, which I do not know what is the meaning of life. And he made an enemy. “Joke to make a joke ,” writes Nikolai Miller from Poland. “ I don’t like your programs. My opinion displays the mood of honest and fair people who are used to living independently, and the authorities are useless to us. Any power is violence over the people. From the moment the state was created, the authorities take responsibility for organizing labor and a fair distribution of fruits, otherwise why do we need such bosses and such states? I will take the whole world, but it leaves - they give it all the ways, they don’t give anything with you.

I thought and not offend, Nikolai. If everyone finishes his days with outstretched hands, then it may not be so grieve so that one is still alive, something more in these hands than the other?

The next letter: “In your program, you give the nonsense of the“ Soviet man ”, who believes that America takes Estonia in NATO because Estonia is a wonderful bridgehead for the placement of American atomic missiles near the Russian border.“ Bush knows that in Russia there are intercontinental missiles that will get to “Great America”, but he hopes for something, ” he writes. This is the nonsense of an ignorant person, this is nonsense. Anatoly Ivanovich is not even in such old NATO members as Norway and Turkey, the neighbors of the former USSR. Explains that the Russians living in Estonia vote quite amicably for the independence of Estonia, do not want to go back to the USSR, ” the letter says.

Oh, what, but he knows such things, how to explain. He will say, for example, that they are afraid to express their real opinion and desire there. Not in all such cases it is a matter of ordinary ignorance. One modern Russian historian has already proves for more than ten years that there should not be either Poland, Ukraine, or even Germany, that Russia will absorb them, which will impose a barbaric attitude to the life of the whole of Eurasia, that Russia was not supposed to fight Hitler in an alliance with the West, but against the West in alliance with Hitler. "Barbarian attitude to life" is his words. Or "Orthodox communism" - is expressed so. He calls to arrange (literally) "attempt, engage in sabotage, set fire, plant bridges into the air." “If you ,” he says, “ against a new world order, take a knife, pull the mask, leave the house in the evening and kill at least one Yankee.” The leader of the national bolshevik party, wrote a dozen and a half books, one of them is recommended as a textbook for Russian military and diplomatic academies, and friendly with the generals of the Russian General Staff, entered the Kremlin. In conversations and on paper, he uses words such as “sacred”, yes, “sacred world of tradition”, “mystery”, “mission” (special “mission of Russia”), “Templars”, “geopolitics”. And our listeners ask everything to explain that the Russian Minister of Defense and many of his generals, including young ones, had no concepts what modern war, American military equipment was, how the Americans have managed with Iraq of Saddam Hussein, they all waited about it - or "carpet bombing", or thousands of American coffins. If this is ignorance, then it is special, if it is nonsense, then special - like religious. People live as if in a fog, in a fog of fairy tales or in a trance, in mystery, if you speak the language of their teacher.

A letter from e -mail: “This is how many unfortunate aggression is poured on your head, and therefore the right ones ... And there is nothing for your analysts, both often felt bias and propaganda. But today I want to say thank you for the forced (probably) understanding of ordinary people obsessed with the idea of communism. This understanding has sounded in what we need and what we need and what we need and what we need and what we need and what we need. It is unlikely that it is easier to laugh at the offended and robbed, what to try to understand the reason for their worldview. - writes the nameless listener.

The objective basis means that something that does not depend on the will of people, something that is not a draw of merit or guilt that is created by itself. Objective soil for communism in the heads of ordinary people is poverty. But to make them wealthy is not able to do any boss. Wealthy - poor, yes, these are the bosses can do it, but even the poor with the hands of the poor. And only they can make wealthy poor themselves - with the help of, of course, the authorities. It's a shame, however, that this needs a lot of time, a lot of knowledge, a lot of perseverance. When you see how much skill and patience, zeal, conscientiousness is put into his own business an ordinary non-poor person in a free society, how much was left to him by his father and grandfather-pradeda: these roads, these buildings, these habits to order and purity, this ability to keep himself in UP, you better understand the meaning of the remarkable Russian word “prosperity”. From the words: “for life” - what is created, accumulates in your whole life, and not for one of your life, that’s a shame, so insulting that it seems: terribly unfair, so you begin to pity yourself, you see yourself logs in the furnace of history, and Chubais - a stoop ...

A letter from St. Petersburg, writes our longtime and very attentive listener Mr. Alexandrov:

"Everything changes in the world -
We became completely different:
Falling asleep, now children
Do not babble the name "Stalin".

This is from the "samizdat" verses of the late fifties. I remembered them in connection with your last program. And you are changing, Anatoly Ivanovich, and, in my opinion, positively. You used to be tougher, more adamant! Previously, you are more often the listener of the crutch, but now - softer. Today you even said about the benefits of state coercion (with important reservations, of course: they say, it all depends on what, who and how to force). Previously, you did not allow state influence on the economy. Or maybe you decided that the time has come, and now the reins are released so that it is time to hold? " - asks Mr. Alexandrov. No, of course, there is no and not, but in this case the matter is not that I have decided. This is an entertaining couple, a Russian man and the state. Is it so arranged, or he is waiting for the state to restore order, when you want it and there, and there and there, and there. You stop noticing what it can be trusted by it, will it hold it, “reins”, and if he holds, then he will direct the “troika”.

“Listening to your programs, ” writes Mr. Mitrofanov, “ you involuntarily come to the idea that you are working to the West and serve the interests of a narrow pile of faces. But I want to tell you that you and your radio station do not give a person anything but negative and bad influence. I hope that after reading this letter, you will work on the Radio“ Liberty ”, this is not your place. Of course, you conduct the right analysis, and this is the right analysis, and this is the right analysis, and this Only your only human dignity. "

The word "human" is emphasized. Thank you, Mr. Mitrofanov. I would be pleased even if you said that it was not “on some aspects” I am conducting the “correct analysis”, but one at a time, only one at a time. How can I not work on the radio stations that you are listening? How to stop making a program that does not leave you indifferent and which, as I understand it, still did not have a bad influence on you? Write to me why do you think that on others we act differently - we spoil them?

Mr. Semenov writes: “Two years ago, I accidentally, on the affairs of the service, visited Southeast Asia. I never crossed the border before. Then there was a trip to Budapest. In February this year, I already went to Poland, looked at Warsaw, Krakow, rode skiing in the mountains for three days. Now the travels have become almost a sense of life, almost a drug for this trip. I did not eat meat, bread, eggs, I moved, at one time I did not even gather bottles, I spent the night, fought with me I have to see the pyramids someday, I have already been putting down with each pay from Eastern Europe and in the western one. Well -wishy and patriotic, our wives and friends have not noticed how the women are dressed, however, they almost do not use, cosmetics, which, for the most part, did not teach us their orders on the roads, ”Mr. Semenov continues, by the way, in Poland. It’s enough for a couple of minutes to stand at the intersection, and a million dollars will pass by in the form of “Mercedes”, “Audi”. For violation of the small one, the majority of my compatriots are not waiting for fast positive changes and, not particularly hoping for parliament, the president and the government, are trying to somehow adapt to the current conditions.

The first Russian coming to Europe was crowned by the capture of Napoleonic Paris, the second - the Nazi Berlin. During the third coming, nothing took, but the "Decembrists" appeared this time - in my opinion, you can say so. They also appeared after the victory over Hitler. Twelve years passed between the victory over Napoleon and the performance of the Decembrists. Eleven years have passed between the victory over Hitler and the debunking of Stalin. As for our days, is Gorbachev and Yeltsin - not the Decembrists in their own way? Yes, and this listener, with his appeal to his native country with the words of the reproach ... I would have reckoned him with this glorious tribe.

A letter from the Donetsk region: “I am twenty -six years old. After graduating from a music school, due to a worsening financial situation, I had to interrupt my training and start earning money. Working at the enrichment factory (mountain industry), I encountered feudal orders. First of all, we all, under the threat of dismissal, were forced to join the Party of the Regions of Ukraine. They organized a paving subscription to its newspaper. Now. We have been calculated from our native party monthly in favor of a whole Talmud from Kyiv: the project of improving democracy, with which we instantly agreed to go to the first -time demonstration, but now I have been expected to visit the reaction of the authorities They, unfortunately, are right here! " - This young man writes.

This is not from a good life that is happening both in Ukraine and in Russia. Without parties, without the struggle of the parties, without the winning party, it was no longer possible to take on the reins of government, it is not necessary, so to speak, indecent, it is time to have everything, like in people, as in the West, and there are no real parties, and there is no way to create imaginary parties. Someone in power, maybe I don’t want this fuss - is unpleasant and boring, but where, they say, will you go? And a sad pattern: the more authenticity in the party, the farther it is from power, the worse or more wonderful. In the same Ukraine, the leaders of the opposition opened a hunt for the "Masons" ... Sensible people just groan from longing, looking at this: it turns out that, whoever won from these "folk intercessors", everything will be worse than what is, that's it! Well, at least the opposition in Ukraine is still real, not pocket. Ukraine either lagged behind in this regard from Russia, or was ahead of it. "Not honey" and this. If it lags behind, ahead of her something like what was replaced by “Yeltsinism”-the Ukrainian “Putinism”, everyone will be “built”, as they are expressed in Russia, and if it is ahead, then one of these “hunters” will be in power, and then “at least run from shame in Belarus” (I have a letter with such words).

The author of the next letter collapses on the faith of those who think that “still a little wait for, how communism at one time, and the“ serious people ”of Chubais will cease to engage in robbery, become cords and make up the“ entrepreneurial class ” that will move the economy, and we will heal, as in Sweden.” "Everything lied to the smeared-prying Marx! The most" gangster capitalism "cannot turn into anything. Today, it is as absurd about the" capitalist "property in Russia as in the eighteenth military, it is a fiction," linden "papers. We must be extremely naive in order to take some kind of" new Russia ", this is all the ruins of the old, not something new. I saw an entertaining picture on TV: the current Minister of the Interior appeared in one city, visited the market, one merchant: “Yes, you know what kind of mafa, what kind of bandit we have?!”. They sit here, they risk it, it will never be resolved, like a bearded false prophet or at a doctrine, not in the mafia, not in corruption, but in the personality of the owner, so the letter is unexpected. that the owner does not order them another. "

A letter from Mr. Livchak from Yekaterinburg: “I already wrote to you about how I was taken to the“ cop ”. I saw me, how they beat the detainees who do not think to resist. They beat just like that for entertainment. After that, I began to“ break through ”the idea of public control over compliance with the rights of the detainees. As a first step, I proposed to hang out the detainees of the detainees with the detention centers. For a long time, I could not find a common language with our regional human rights, but after you read my letter in its transfer, the situation has changed.

Then we arranged a noisy picket near the regional Internal Affairs Directorate, with a wide rally. It worked. The police authorities made contact, even agreed to hang out our posters, however, only in the detectors. Of course, I am far from the idea that our posters will break the situation. But the dashing trouble has begun. I think that we will still organize public control. Thank you, "freedom" and other media for support. Without it, nothing would have succeeded in, ” writes Mr. Livchak from Yekaterinburg.

To calculate how much, like this person, in Yekaterinburg, Moscow and throughout Russia - and you will get an answer to very many "Why?" our listeners. The main thing is that he does not give up his hands, that he says: "Duster trouble is the beginning." I don’t know which of them is closer to the truth, Mr. Livchak, or the author of the previous letter, who does not believe in the best future, but in the “cop” I would prefer to be with Mr. Livchak if I had to ...

From one letter: “Surely in your mail there are still many letters dedicated to the topic of Iraq. One of the main arguments of the opponents of the war is the victims among the civilian population. History does not know the subjunctive mood, but still ... if we assume that the people of Iraq would dare to once overthrow Hussein’s regime, then the authorities would not have voluntarily give the authorities voluntarily. Never.

The next letter was signed by two letters: L.Ya. "Пишу вам на злобу дня: террор, Ирак. Даже священник как-то говорил по телевидению, что террористы-мусульмане борются с аморальным Западом и США. А чего же они тысячами бегут в эти страны? Жили бы в своих высокоморальных государствах. А среди их камикадзе не слышно ни одного старого муллы-подстрекателя, который уже пожил на свете. Как у нас местная вороватая власть всё валит на Москву, так и их правители всё валят на США. Наша православная церковь гонит католиков-миссионеров, обижается на них, ревнует, а сама ничего не делает, чтобы люди к ней обращались со своими духовными запросами и трудностями, её устраивают и те, кто просто приходит ради формальности, ради обряда. А слово-то Божье до сих пор звучит у нас на непонятном языке" .

Образцово "политкорректное" письмо. Всем сёстрам - по серьгам: и мусульманам, и православным. По-моему, писала женщина, стихийная протестантка, такие в России были всегда, сейчас их становится всё больше.
