In standing water
No, of course, Minusinians know about this event from television news releases. But for these days I have not seen a single - narrowing the circle of recipients - a parishioner of the Spassky Council, who would not be excited, but at least significantly impressed ... they say, you never know what they are going out there, you won’t give up for three years ...
The famous modern prose writer Roman Senchin has the novel "Minus" - just about our city, Senchin had a chance to live here in the 90s. The Minusians who became prototypes of the characters of the novel were met, I remembered, the book disapprovingly, some were even indignant and burned with anger, honoring their portraits with caricatures (the plot "Dunno-artist" is immortal-we all laugh, seeing the caricature of the neighbor, and are offended at the sight of our portraits ...); Minusinsk is depicted by the author with a sleepy swamp, which absorbs anyone from the outside of the passionarium, making it an exhibit of a protracted duckweed terrarium ... and in many ways Senchin is right.
Thinking about the murder of about. Daniil (I want to notice: I do not say anything, since the reasons for the murder have not yet been revealed, but, referring to the nature of the activity of Daniil and the facts of his life, we can say that, most likely, the reasons are religious), I think: could we, in a quiet sleepy town, murder for religious reasons? Yes, we have representatives of different religious organizations. There are Old Believers - as Austrian consent (their little temple on the outskirts of the city bears the name of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary), so as a nonsense (I remember, one old woman, a relative of my friends belonging to the Sim, came to me several times for spiritual literature. To my cautious question whether it was shameful to read the Nikonian books, she answered such a confessor, that we have such a confessor, what is such a confessor. They will not think anything ... but you need to know about the divine ... "). There are Muslims - mainly ethnic Tatars. (We talked with them a couple of times: once - on the oath in the military unit, where, for equilibrium, we invited both the priest and the mullah, another time in the local IVS, the temporary detention center, we decided to call the priest there, suddenly one of the prisoners will be; none of the baptized need for support and blessings of just two muslims, but came up for support and blessings, I made the most pleasant impression on me). There are fifty -year -olds (by the way, off top: well done guys are trying to somehow rehabilitate the drug addicts. My friend Valera went there, with whom we once worked together in a construction organization - the degree of his involvement in the drug was already such that when we took out sandwiches at lunchtime, he took out a syringe ... years later, I was surprised, having met him alive, having met him alive, Healthy, recovered. There are Baptists, the seventh-day adventists, there are, as useli, “witnesses of Jehovah”, where without them, there are few luteran related to the Church of Ingria-but there were no clashes or any proselytic excesses with any of them, as, however, there were no interconnected contacts ... quietly, all on its own. The fact that one or another denomination can be judged only by the rare gas bubbles rising to the surface of our swamp ... we have no confessors of faith in it.
The murder because of faith, for religious motives-is always a brick thrown into a quiet duckweed of the philistine swamp: “So this, it turns out, is how serious! ..“ No, it is impossible to consider such things normal, of course. In growth, hatred, boiling of passions - you will not find Christ. But after all, it is not in the quiet swamp of relativism, what is called "heat -dwelling." Religious fanaticism is by no means opposed by relativism-something completely different, no less hot (for example, could tell us the well-known about us O. Yakov Krotov, my neighbor on the territory of “freedom”, who somehow manages not to be an extremist-but not to be warm, to remain a living embodiment-in a good way-the exciting Christian “scandalon”; however, this Big, conversation).
