One of our listeners is thinking about how to make so that everyone in Russia " awareness of life is good ." “ It is necessary that the president does not go with security and snipers, but on the last train in an old coat, and made decisions not in the Kremlin, but in the soul, in truth. Then the grandfather would have enough grandfather and a little patient. That's the secret of power, ” he writes. I know another secret. In this case, the president will be forced to invent a new enemy every day. After all, from his trips by train, from the decisions " on the truth of the last car " the cows will not finish it, and it will be necessary to somehow explain the grandmother with the grandfather, who is to blame.

Shalamov writes Viktor Alekseevich: “ I live in Lithuania, the Russian -speaking, my wife is a Lithuanian from the exiled, and when the Lithuanian state began to invite the former political prisoners to return, we moved the whole family from Kazakhstan, where we lived with enthusiasm. Unfortunately, in many of my ideas of that time, it became disappointed today that it was still clear that the path to the West was still very“ to the west ”. Long, with a fork, the collective farms were dispersed, and in fact, they ravaged and plundered, the lands were handed out to the peasants, and those who seem to have a penny, the collective farm is not the best organization of agricultural production, although in Israel the collective farms have impressive results. Years of the Soviet “occupation”, how the peasant processes his plot of the real plow, I saw the first time here ... In one of your transfer, the people live so difficult, because the Lithuanian authorities got a weak economy, and we need to accumulate funds for the rise.

Further, the author describes in detail what was built in Lithuania during the post -war years, especially distinguishes roads and collective farms, emphasizes the contribution of the entire Soviet Union. “ Yes, ” writes, “ the Lithuanians are hardworking people, but they would not have been enough without serious financial injections. Then there was also a woker. The Baltic stern was a“ showcase ”of socialism .

It is said extremely clear. While injections from Moscow were made, the Lithuanian hard work gave good fruits, the injections ceased, the oil -eater was not enough for everyone - and the Soviet, that is, in many respects artificial, Lithuania’s economy collapsed. But the author himself thinks differently. Having said about the infusion, he immediately forgets about them - that they were over. “ It was only necessary to give everything to the mind , he writes, and if it was tolerable under the communist regime, now the people would live no worse than the same Finns. But the trouble is that“ irresponsible amateurs with a romantic confusion in their heads have come to power. ”(The formulation is not mine, I subtracted in one article, I consider it very accurate) .”

If the author of this wording is sure that over ten post -Soviet years, with good leadership, the Lithuanians could achieve the same as the Finns - more than seventy, then I can say one thing, Mr. Shalamov: this is how to not love his bosses in order to exaggerate his possibilities! This is such a dislike that goes into adoration, simply into the deification of the authorities. The gods, and only, from the factory master to the president, are gods who are able to create everything out of nothing. Soviet, by the way, belief. The newspaper Pravda, even under Lenin, began to write, as something doesn’t go well somewhere: “ Only irresponsibility can be explained ” -with the responsibility of the bosses, and how much they were bought out (in single shots -into the back of the head, in prison closets), and communism remained outside the mountains.

Sergei from Moscow writes: “ I read a lot about repressions and camps. I need to know about all this. I don’t understand why most people do not want to hear anything bad about the past. They are satisfied with the myths that they lived before. I have been to the Sakharov Museum, they have an excellent library, and there you can find information about the former union repressed throughout the former, I live in Moscow, I have been married, married, married, married, married. Two sons - a small furniture artel, on the shares with friends, the suffering of innocently convicted is a sore theme, not only because they repressed my ancestors.

This letter answers the question of how the Russians should relate to the past of their country, so that their lives today is, if not better, it is a little cleaner. Immediately, of course, the authorities are remembered, official propaganda. People listen to power, want to be with her in Lada, this is natural. And the official propaganda in Russia does not particularly expose the truth about the past, does not complain, does not encourage interest in it. And here the power only goes towards the popular majority - a deep folk wish. In order to feel good in order to feel vigor in all their members, to be prepared, as they say, for great achievements, the people should either be immensely proud of their past, or vice versa, fiercely trample it. These are all social organisms called peoples and nations.

A letter from Shishak, writes Anatoly Sviridenko: " Dear namesake, I am sending my commandments, which are written only on the basis of my personal experience." The first commandment. Do not trust lawyers. There is nothing more dangerous than a overbearing lawyer. Study the right! Without lawyers, more reliable! The second. Do not trust officials. The higher the position, the more likely it is that it occupies its bastard, moreover, semi -literate. These people understand only one language: you get a lick by erysipelas. Never give them bribes, even if your life depends on it. Think about the future of your children. The third commandment. (Unexpected for me, I must say). Do not trust scientific authorities. We need science - comprehend personally. Fourth. Do not trust parties, public organizations, religious figures who promise paradise on earth or underground. They want one thing: to drive people into a herd, become pastors and milk, milk, milk. Never go to any herd. The fifth commandment. Do not trust any law enforcement agencies. Never hope for their help. The hope of the decency of employees should be discarded completely. The sixth (this commandment, in my opinion, sheds some light on the origin of the letter). Do not trust friends, especially close ones. Most likely, the "friend" will use you as a ghost rabsil, a source of income, a ghost drink and snacks. It is not ruled out that, having access to your house, will use your wife (husband) for its intended purpose. Can steal. Seventh. Do not trust colleagues - all, no exceptions, especially those who were pulled out of dirt, who were well paid, was supplied with valuable ideas. The eighth commandment. Do not look at the nation, do not be a nationalist when you decide on a person’s trust - shit is international. Ninth. Do not trust businessmen, especially large. Decent people, extra -class specialists do not go to business or power ... "I have not tired of you, gentlemen of the listeners? There are three commandments left." Do not trust technology, medicines, weapons, products, drinks, the tenth says. - Regardless of the company and the country. Eleventh. Do not trust everyone else: doctors and teachers, computer scientists and janitors. Never forgive anyone for rudeness, theft and betrayal - this is the twelfth and last commandment. - Use absolutely all the measures provided by law, but when they are exhausted, use all the others. Learn to fight back if you do not want to be cattle. You do not have and will never have a different way to a normal life. Sincerely, too, Anatoly . "

The letter came by e -mail, I immediately responded: who, they say, offended you so that you lost faith in humanity? “ I would have tried to offend me!” The answer followed. “I won four civil cases without a lawyer, I also without a lawyer achieved the consideration of my case in the Eurossum. I was physically offended? I worked as a senior physicist. Send a photograph where I am in swimming trunks? Over five Soviet years, my salary amounted to 55551 rubles (18 thousand“ Green ”in the USSR, more in the USSR, more in the USSR, more in the USSR) Nobody got it and send a copy of the certificate in the USSR: “Ural -375”, I have purchased one monthly salary - you will not promise in our area.

There is no need to send a certificate of Soviet earnings, Mr. Sviridenko, and the picture in swimming trunks, perhaps, send it: I will show it to our girls so that even a handsome man can be offended throughout the world. Resentment throughout the world ... It is not for nothing that this phenomenon is indicated with such a winged expression. Out of resentment throughout the world, a person is able to turn mountains. True, usually these are just those mountains that would be better not to touch. Drink a few words to me about a kilogram of which drink is talking, Anatoly. If you were driving in a Soviet way, that is, with the participation of sugar and flour, - dismiss. According to some reports, by the way, the quality of moonshine east of the former Soviet border improves. I find a hint of this (or I want to find) in the next letter.

A letter from the Odessa region: " I am a former sailor of the trading fleet, captain. Now-" a small shark of capitalism. "My grandfather was dispossessed, and her father-thirty-seventh was spent for 10 years to deepen his communist ideology. Thank God, he remained alive. He was in the camps. When I brought the Gulag archipelago after the cordon, my father said after the cordon. Reading: "The tenth is described here that the fighters for the world revolution were executed in the camps. The Nazis simply destroyed people, but they did not mock them before killing, as in our camps. "We did not tell children, afraid for our fate. Well, now ... Now, Anatoly Ivanovich, who does not whine, he lives in Ukraine. I recently have to visit the same village. They live normally - those who have used to protect themselves: people have learned how to protect them. They hired their own good guard, from strangers, they have very large and “steep” people. The plot of his own will not be processed by his immediate supervisor, the chairman, there is no words: “Dali”, “Get”. This is not the same time as the old housekeeper, but a good home vodka, the current chairman told me to work Korov whispered to her ear: "What did she say?" - Korov said that the milkmaid is stealing every day for her three liters of milk and a commercial commercial: "Well, you give it! Only the day before yesterday, this milkmaid was dismantled at the meeting. ”They came to the pig farm. The zootechnik tickled one pig with a twig. She:“ Dimin! ”The chairman:“ What did she say? ” -“ Yesterday she was disgraced, and two pigs were stolen from her, and Petrovich was. ”The chairman:“ Well, everything, we went to my appointment. ” The goat grazes the courtyard. Do not listen! Once it was, and even then drunk. "As you can see, the old one will remember for a long time ,” writes the captain, referring to the story not with a goat, but with a cow and a pig.

Those who remember do not move the story of what good collective farms were in Lithuania, and in Israel, kibbutsi, and what bad bosses they dismissed them or let them blur. That the collective farm, that the kibbutz is such a "dormitory" where some work, others are lying a fool, so it can only hold on to insane enthusiasm, like kibbutz, or on a Raikomovskaya ward, like a collective farm. The enthusiasm faded, disappeared by the district committee - and there is no kibbutz, there is no collective farm, especially since in Lithuania, as everywhere in the USSR, collective farms fed not only in the hard work of the Lithuanians (albeit outstanding) and other languages, but oil and oillarmi. The stream of petrodollars shook, and even Lithuanian hard work did not help. In a letter of the Odessa captain, I drew attention to the words that in the fall the village would have to give the whole harvest for seeds, fuel, and cars received from them in the spring. True, the thought is captured that this is a robbery? But in fact, this is exactly what every farmer dreams of. He is guaranteed the sale of his products! The sales of the products that were ordered to it were guaranteed and the production of which was financially provided. The main thing is that people eventually live normally, as the captain writes. And they will live normally - I have such confidence, because they still have private traders with private owners, with those very “cool” on the jeeps who found them, and everything spun to mutual benefit. Life is still smarter than us. I remember what disputes took ten to fifteen years ago about the Blessed, Poskolkhoznaya life - how to arrange it. Sometimes it seemed: well, impossible, impossible! And she gradually settles herself: somewhere-as described by the captain, somewhere else ...

A letter from Austria: “ I was born in Ukraine, in the Donbass, in 1953. Parents from Russia. I lived with them in Western Ukraine, then, already his family, in Kiev, worked in the chemical industry. At the age of 38 he graduated from the All -Union Academy of Foreign Trade, where he broke through. During his studies, he managed to visit the School of Business in the US The company was invited to a permanent job, and for 10 years I have been living in Austria, in a small town, not far from the district center - an old town As soon as you begin to understand the radio of another country, it is as if I have a window in the previously a deaf wall. From June, I am moving to an independent business related to Ukraine or Russia, or I will find a new employer.

I read his letter and remembered the place that I missed in a letter to Mr. Shalamov from Lithuania - that I am sure that under the good leadership the Lithuanians would have achieved more than the Finns - in seventy. “ Not Stalinism is now afraid, ” he writes, condemning the Lithuanian nationalists. “ Although Stalin was a cannibal, he was an internationalist. I can’t understand why the person speaks such a great importance in what kind of language is. Something is anti -human and contradicting culture. For me, for example, a language is just a tool, as for a carpenter, for me, if the whole world said, if the whole world said, if the whole world said for me. One language would be better.

I don’t know, I didn’t try ... Maybe it would be consolation to think, standing in line to the cannibal that I would not eat me a nationalist, but an internationalist. Stalin was not an internationalist, he was a real Russian chauvinist, a great -power, sent entire nations to exile, the Russian people announced his older brother, which, however, did not prevent him from destroying the elder along with all the younger ones. Language, of course, a tool, Stalin, too, in his immortal work on linguistics, was the opinion, and the desire to be in a world where everyone speaks the same language was clear to him. And yet ... not only the communication tool, Mr. Shalamov, not only. Each language shows some special facet of human nature. It is no accident that it is so difficult to translate all the shades from one language to another, and it is no coincidence that every nation is sure that its language is the most beautiful in the world and, by the way, the most difficult for others. Each language opens up some line of God's plan about man - so it seems, Solzhenitsyn is said. It would be boring in the world of one language. But this, of course, is a matter of taste.

“ Your listener from Yekaterinburg, ” writes Mr. Frenkel, “ told how his signature was forged in the police under the protocol about his detention. He says that the same manner could fake his signature in the murder. Soviet people were accustomed that“ recognition ”is the Queen of the evidence. One way“ admitted ”, it means guilty Russian investigators and achieve with monstrous methods and achieve with monstrous methods and achieve with monstrous methods. But according to the law, the recognition of the defendant or even the defendant should be proven by unreasonable evidence or convincing testimony of the witnesses For example, to say, he may be silent.

Investigators know this, Mr. Frenkel, and beat a person to get the key to evidence, which will be submitted and recognized by all the rules, beat them to help them expose himself. Sometimes, of course, they mock, so that a person will be in vain, but more often, nevertheless, so that he confesses to a genuine crime. In our time, self -cargoes are less and less needed by investigators and judges, the Russian court slowly becomes like a court. Defenders raise their heads. If the defender knows his job and respects himself, then this is a wonderful teacher of both the investigator and judges. So not self -and reservations and reservations are not seeking executioners today, but assistance in the collection of evidence. Почему забили до смерти парня во Львовской "гэбухе" (это дело недавно слушалось в суде, и виновным дали какие-то пустяки)? Думали, что он убийца, да притом серийный, как это называется. Сумасшедшая показала на него, а ей поверили. Хотелось быстрого и громкого успеха в расследовании.
