“Dear Anatoly Ivanovich! One of the Orthodox The Theologian or Pop, a well -known in Russia, I don’t understand this, you must know his last name,“ the name and surname are following, ”recently said the following:“ Not all people who went to the KGB worked against their people. There were also structures that really defended their homeland. They were not executioners. They were not engaged in surveillance, the fight against dissent ... "This theologian or priest has in mind, probably, external intelligence, the Chekists who worked abroad or were engaged in counterintelligence within the country. However, what, if not the struggle with" dissent ", only on a world -wide scale, did they do it?" - The listener asks the question, quite, in my opinion, legitimate and rhetorical.

In fact, from whom and from what could the KGB defend his homeland after 1945, after the surrender of Hitler Germany? The Soviet Union had nowhere to wait for the attack. So any Chekist, whether he monitored Soviet citizens, or mined the information needed by the Kremlin, helped his homeland in another business, not in defense. He helped her to arrange communism throughout the world: to abolish private property, democracy ... Not all "gesniki" understood what horror it was, many of them believed that they helped the homeland to make humanity happy. Of course, there were. I willingly agree that such were the majority, except for units - defectors, those whom they considered traitors. But after all, those who rummaged without me in my papers and books at my place, who overheard my conversations, who forced my friends, and especially friends, to convey to me - why should I think that they did not consider their business the same right, as kind as the same colonel Abel, who secretly worked for Moscow in the USA, considered their business? Everyone served one goal. Serving the homeland meant to serve communism. Serving communism meant to serve the homeland. And where to serve is the case of chance and order: in the Pentagon - “Stirlitz” or “Toptun” in the entrance of my house in Moscow. But the Pentagon "Stirls" began to be considered pure, and Moscow "toptunes" - unclean. It remains only to be surprised at what twists the human mind is capable of. In this case, the mind of the modern Moscow theologian.

"Anatoly in the shooting person of the face of the Caucasian nationality. I want to say right away: this does not concern the normal Russians who are not indifferent to the fate of the Chechen people who die at the hands of the invaders. I respect the Grozny Russians. These are people, this is the color of the Russian nation who worry about Chechens. And you do not live and do not give others. And think why you are in the world in the world They hate you have no homeland and flag, you live on foreign lands, and your gangster state will destroy yourself, this is your fate, but for now you drink vodka, spread tuberculosis, AIDS, we will see how much you will remain by 2005: who will come with the sword .

The author of this letter, as we heard, warns that he does not speak about all Russians, but it still turns out that - about everyone ... The meaning of what he says is simple: Chechens are better than Russians. Not the first year on the Radio "Freedom" is the letters in which we are proved that the Russians are better than Chechens ... and Americans, Jews, and all in the world. Well, letters that - on the contrary, Chechens are better than Russians. There was only a single letter that Jews are best. What was not was not. Jews do not write such nonsense. I am thinking: how to show this Chechen that he spoke too much? Maybe so. Let him imagine what the Russian can tell him in response - Russian of those who are also fond of such comparisons. He will not be particularly wise. He will simply take and remind of the deceased Kadyrov, about thousands of his supporters, of those Chechens who are included in the personnel of all the bodies of the Russian government in Chechnya. Together with their families, relatives, sympathetic - this is no less than half of the Chechens. And add to them those who are outside the Chechnya - who did not run to Chechnya to fight, but from Chechnya, so as not to fight? Perhaps more than half of the whole people will turn out. Knowing this, how can one say: we, Chechens, are such one in our valor, we do not give up, we are not selling, we, we, we are better than you, Russians, we are better than anyone?! This is the terrible thing war. She curves the minds. People have long known that talking about which tribe is better and which is worse, stupid and indecent. The ban on these conversations was imposed two thousand years ago by Jesus Christ, which not only Christians agree with today. People also know for a long time that for the sins of one it is impossible to condemn and punish someone else, whether it be his relatives or his people. But the war makes people forget these truths. These truths interfere with good fighting. Not love helps to fight well, but hatred, and you need to hate not only the one with whom you are fighting, but everything related to him is his people, his country. Blindly hate, blindly belittled ... And yourself, and their own people, their country - to elevate.

In the mail of the Russian service of Radio "Freedom" there are more letters about Ukrainian affairs, more precisely, about one of the Ukrainian affairs - about the upcoming presidential elections. One of the presidential candidates appeared in the Central Electoral Commission on two armored personnel carriers rented from filmmakers. He calls himself an independent candidate, his main cry - "Down with democracy! Long live freedom!" They ask me if I can imagine an independent presidential candidate of today's Ukraine, who would be allowed to appear in the CEC in two armored personnel carriers. No, of course, I can’t, here he clearly beat. The poet, rebel, "hero", says that he fought against Russia in Transnistria, Abkhazia, Chechnya. A television journalist from gloomy. Black mustache, a "piercing" look. Conducting the bureaucracy. He believes that it was she who slipped the gullible people on the role of the chief opposition, Viktor Yushchenko, in the event of his victory, he had already prepared posters with his guys: "Down with the Provisional Government of Yushchenko! All power to the Stachkomams!"

“Dear Anatoly Ivanovich!” Writes Verkhovsky from Gorlovka. “Please tell me that in his speeches, in your opinion, a good thing, but what is the husk? And does he represent any interest of a local nature?” The most sensible, Mr. Verkhovsky, in my opinion, is what he says just about Yushchenko: "Dear, but sluggish." Close to the truth, not viciously and ... deadly. So the clever propagandist should say. In general, this is a special type of entrepreneur. Jokes are put up for sale. And I will tell you that. While the authorities suffer jesters, you can live. Let her even buy them ... really art where there are no jesters. There are no jesters in Belarus. Only heroes and martyrs. There were no jesters in Russia, if you notice. The "son of a lawyer" is almost not fooling around.

I read a letter from Kharkov: “It’s already sick - like in good Soviet times. Our White House hangs across the slogan road:“ The Harkiva for Yanukovych! ”School teachers (!) Schools were forced to gather on the entrances of“ approving ”for Yanukovych ... and on a rally on the square (by the way, freedom) they drove people out of their eyes. At least 15 (fifteen) large buses and several minibuses went to the rally of the Kommunar, and the people were still not completely forgotten by the buses, the people were stuffed with balls and other attributes expressing their indescribable joy from the thought of Yanukovych as the President, the people, glory This is a pleasant way for me: “U-w, one woman says:“ My daughter was obliged to come to the rally, the chief of staff of Yanukovych-depicting innocence on the screen: they say that “someone” was driven to the rally, and if someone did it somewhere,

The author of this letter belongs to the main rival of Yanukovych, to the mentioned Viktor Yushchenko. Over the past year, this politician in the eyes of listeners of the Russian service of Radio "Freedom", whose letters in my hands and on the computer, fell strongly. This happened due to his "poor culture", as one of them put it. A cultural person, they say, would not support the hunt for the "Masons", and Yushchenko with his "scumbags" - supported. It was this in the recent past of the Ukrainian parliament. They rushed to look for “Masons” on the upper floors of the state ... A cultural person would not defend the newspaper that preaches Hitlerism, and he with the same “scumbags” stood behind it with his chest when the authorities took up for her. This is today Ukrainian life. The largest (by the number of readers) the country's newspaper as its whole pages resembles those newspapers that came out in Ukraine during the Hitler occupation. And the authorities can not do anything with it, because this newspaper is against the authorities, and therefore, will suffer “for the truth”, if the case is brought to the end, and Yushchenko is also against the authorities, and the socialists who inspire this newspaper ... And this is the one formed a united front: it is a touch of its democracy. “Patriot Khrenov!” I read in a letter, if it is permissible to read it (by the way, a woman, an entrepreneur). “So I got dirty about the“ brown ”and“ red ”, that he repelled the whole hunt for him to vote. You will vote, and he will say that, since he is in the embroidered shirt and collects spikelets in a bouquet, he is only a real Ukrainian and others interfere with him. Now he says that the power should be Ukrainian: either in the Russians, or in the Jews, think that you want to, and the “people of Caucasian nationality”, by the Russian example, is a stone's throw ... Well, no, Anatoly Ivanovich, there are no anti -Jewish and anti -Kavkavis anecdotes in Ukraine! ”So, we must start again?!”

These words contain an answer (or part of the answer) to the question that the listener of dummen from Gatchina asks me - how Russia and Ukraine are different today. In Ukraine, "not in fashion" anti -Jewish and anti -Caucasian jokes. It seems that the Antimoskalsky also decline. It seems that racism is more in the Ukrainian parliament than in the Ukrainian beer. Mr. Samokhvalov also asks where, in my opinion, more dense in political disputes, calls, promises: in Russia or Ukraine. I would like to say this: this good is more where there is more political life. In Ukraine, it is larger, noticeably larger. Maybe for now ... Here is the small one that has arrived in the Central Election Commission on two armored personnel carriers ... promises to abolish democracy, and to eliminate social contradictions, that is, to facilitate the fate of the poor, gathers as it is done in the United States. “I,” says, “promote ordinary European and North American methods of civil activity. Stoke, a street action of civil disobedience - these are ordinary, ordinary phenomena in all civilized countries. This is only our crusty people who seem to be radical.” Of course, he does not explain to these “crushed” people how they will be a way and arrange processions if he stones, as he promises, democracy. I will dudge, say, democracy, but "Ukraine should become the territory of freedom, including economic." He promises to use the struggle with "dirty" money that has unfolded in the world. Ukraine, according to his plan, should "try to delay all the dirty money of the world," and to protect them - to restore its nuclear potential. This, perhaps, will be “abruptly” by the Russian throw to the Indian Ocean, promised in his glorious time the “son of a lawyer”.

A letter from Karelia. Half - about the "gabhesh" democracy, which has erased all famous people in Russia, starting with O. Aleksandra and ending with Yushenkov, then about the people: "The language of the intelligentsia is incomprehensible to the people. The school, the teacher is not the environment where you can become an intellectual liberal, and in vocational schools, all freedom -love are embroidered in the technical schools. Universities are neutral, not so -so. Fish, where to learn to think, for a long time, there will be a long time to do it? Despite the authorities, and these people “threw me”, and in my work book forty -one records, and every time I started with intercession, and every time I got in disgust, and I’m afraid of the people, they will not feel anything, they don’t need civilian society, and I have been writing a dictionary of dialects. Having buried in a computer so as not to get into this swamp kvashnya. "

Probably, I am not alone at that moment envied this woman.

“Well, what are you, Anatoly Ivanovich, are you a fool?” Asks the author of the next letter. “Why don’t you say that democracy is money, a lot of money, the power of cash bags? We were explained by Soviet newspapers, the best international journalists, Henry Borovik, Evgeny Primakov, Alexander Bovin, Stanislav Kondrashov, and a little earlier - Yuri Zhukov, Nikolai, Nikolai Gribachev, but we did not believe them. "

Interestingly, the author remembered Nikolai Gribachev. I also immediately remembered one of his articles - a large one, in the Literary Newspaper, was called "Fog over Hudson" - about the fog of poverty and lawlessness, because of which America will not be seen soon. He was more known as a poet. Even the phrase of one of them recalled: "The autocracy tower is falling apart in the fog (also in the fog) of the revanchist fucker." This is about West Germany. Yes, democracy sins with hypocrisy. Yes, she pretends that money does not mean anything to her, that they do not manage it at all - only, they say, the people. But, firstly, this was not the first to have noticed for her, and for a very long time-a very long time ago she was defeated, maybe the best minds of mankind (and not the best, so brilliant), and secondly, she, nevertheless, continues to remain the most productive of this kind of, moreover, she herself found a whole pharmacy of antidotes for the poison, which she is. Democracy turned out to be an instrument of self -shaping, it is capable of self -healing (to the extent, of course, in which all living things can heal itself, no more, but no less). Democracy is as flawed as a person by nature, I once thought. Now I see that no, after all, she is a little better than an average person. Sometimes, however, it will still break out from evil that she is worse than the worst of the worst person, but then you will come to your senses and take your words back. Well, in fact, at what other device could our inanimate listener be soaring everyone and everything and find such a convenient shelter from the world with his badges, what was her computer? And what would happen without democracy, albeit so weak and dirty, what is Ukrainian, with this black -eyed handsome man, that he brought his statement to the Central Election Commission on two armored personnel carriers? (The other appeared there on the irrigation of the car: they say, give me power, and I will be able to all evil from the face of my native land - thick, nimble, loud). Both are ordinary, vulgar in this sense, products of democracy. They are no one without her. Without democracy, one would have been in prison, the other in a psychiatric hospital, or alternately, but most likely, like enterprising lads, they would have found themselves in some present place at the table.

More and more letters of the Orthodox, dissatisfied with their priests. I already had to say that, in essence, these are no longer quite Orthodox, they unconsciously chose another, younger, kind of Christianity, the very one that arose from the same protest that tempts them, although the consonance of the “protestantism” is not a stringent. They took the path leading where there are no intermediaries between people and God, there are no temples and priests, where people simply converge for joint prayer and reasoning "about the divine." For them, the main thing is to live according to Christ, but to believe in the same way as someone will punish them, but as indicated in the Scripture, everyone is to the best of their understanding. Good word: "believe." Do not believe, but believe. It has more importance, it has solemnity, and the meaning is richer: it means not only belief, but also behavior, following some rules for worshiping the Creator. This is a risky path. One sinner in a cassock can turn a whole parish from the Church if, by the personality of the priest, he begins to judge the whole religion and almost about Christ himself. So it was with communism, so he fell in the eyes of the common people. Since the "bad" communists, it means that communism is a muffled price. Communism is a penny price for another reason - it is programmed only for a wretched life, but a simple soul did not climb into such wilds. Well, here is the next letter of such an Orthodox, which is already a Protestant, but still goes to the temple, more and more bored and annoyed there, begins like this: “Hello, Anatoly Ivanovich! I wish you the mercy of God and good from people. Recently, the main boster Church, Mitropolitan Kirill, said that they, priests, will bypass everyone, from small entrepreneurs and collecting entrepreneurs to great entrepreneurs. The signatures of good behavior are not enough from them, of course, Anatoly Ivanovich, our priests can be understood. Согласитесь, Анатолий Иванович, всё-таки недаром Иисус не избрал в свои Апостолы ни одного священника, а одних рыбаков и немножко мытарей" .

Не составляет труда встать на место священника и сказать, что это письмо предвзятое, что добрая христианка приписывает недобрые намерения своим пастырям, но и в знании церковной, и не только церковной, жизни ей не откажешь. Этой женщине открыта природа всякого священства. Рано или поздно (или, чтобы никого не обидеть: иногда) всякое звено (или иное...), всякий посредник (или иной...) между Богом и народонаселением впадает в соблазн что-то "наварить" на своей близости к Высшему Судье - додумывается брать мзду за отпущение грехов. Так и тянет его выдумать что-то вроде индульгенций.

Письмо из Иркутска: "Я часто вижу по телевизору, как наши думцы озабочены судьбой русских в бывших республиках СССР, как собираются их защищать. Но вот мой конкретный пример. Я, Сазонов Олег Георгиевич, родился и прожил в Иркутске почти полвека. Незадолго до развала Советского Союза перевёлся на другое предприятие системы, в которой работал. Это предприятие оказалось на Украине. Так я стал гражданином Украины. И вот я решил съездить на родину, чтобы поклониться могилам родных и посетить родственников. По приезде на место я должен был, как мне сказали, в трёхдневный срок получить отметку о регистрации. Итак, приехал, отдохнул. Обращаюсь, естественно, в милицию, а там говорят следующее. Надо в порядке очереди пройти проверку на СПИД. Это - триста рублей. Затем мне дадут бланки для заполнения. Это - двести рублей. И так далее. Но позвольте, я жизнь здесь прожил, я родился здесь, я русский, и это родная моя земля. "Ничего не знаем, таков порядок". Иду в областной ОВИР, и там узнаю, что, оказывается, если пребывание - до десяти дней, то можно не регистрироваться. Возвращаюсь в милицию, спрашиваю, зачем меня ввели в заблуждение. В ответ - улыбка. Обидно за своих земляков. А тем, кто в Думе озабочен положением русских за рубежом, надо обратить внимание на произвол в самой матушке-России. Сазонов Олег Георгиевич" .

Я вижу улыбку этого милицейского чиновника. Это каверзная улыбка. То, что он сделал, называется каверзой. Если взять все российские законы и подвергнуть их исследованию на предмет каверзности... А все "чернильные души" - на тот же предмет - само собою... Уверен, что какой-нибудь юный Левша может и такую компьютерную программу соорудить, которая выявляла бы вирус каверзности. Этим вирусом вообще-то в той или иной мере заражено всякое законодательство, всякое народное представительство. Любит его величество народ поглумиться над человеком, поэтому-то он и не есть величество, а что-то другое, другая стихия. Каверзная, надо правду сказать, стихия.
