The same tea

Victor Chernomyrdin recently admitted: my specialty and life took place in an atmosphere of oil and gas. The master of political aphorism was lucky. After all, the life of all other citizens of the superpower took place in the atmosphere of Soviet power, much less environmentally friendly than oil and gas. This was vividly reminded of this by the November days of reconciliation and consent. On such days, the main national idea is materialized on TV - the unification of the electorate through government concerts with their unchanged leitmotif in Russia. The popular Saturnalia took place this season. True, the imperial foundations were slightly shaken by liberal winds - a concert in the Kremlin Palace of Congresses was called "We will take hands, friends!". So you see Bulat Okudzhava, who took the hands with Apina and Malinin in order to glorify Super. But the apotheosis of mass culture - the celebration for the Day of the Police - was in full accordance with unshakable canons. The brightest description of the event was given by the presenter Vladimir Berezin. It seems to me that our Demosthenes said thoughtfully, this holiday is special not only for Russians, but also for police officers. In general, there is no that high vulgarity and nobility in the world that the leading concerts would not have voiced (and on the stage, besides Berezin, Larisa Verbitskaya, a long -haired liner with experience), and performers. Even Natasha Koroleva herself, all in white robes, honored the law enforcement officers of the order of high praise; She, as it turned out, is grateful to the Lord for the fact that there are people such as the workers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on earth ... The frames of the life -affirming police pathos on ORT were especially well mounted with the cadre of Chechen refugees, tanks, grenade launches, “stingers” and other fire -film symbols of reconciliation and consent. In a word, while “holding hands” somehow does not work. The climate, you see, is inappropriate - either snow, then wind, and night flights. Strange things happen in this climate: the secondary begins to play the role of the main thing. For today's TV there is no more important problem than bags with compromising hexogen. The electorate, fooled, on the one hand, endless political arrows and showdowns, on the other-equally endless songs and dancing about the main one, already began to forget: what, in fact, such, such, happened in October of the 17th? We are people of extremes. In the past pre -election television, anti -communism was already swinging through the nostrils. And in the current one, no one gave himself difficult to think about the essence and consequences of the communist experiment even on November 7. And only the fourth channel in the days of unprecedented consent of everyone considered it necessary to talk not about the secondary, but about the main thing. Evgeny Kiselev violated the festive relaxation, raising his vote and the “voice of the people” to the most important problem: in the country where the power is again, like 80 years ago, almost on the road, a communist revenge is possible. A bold step, considering that he had already hitherto most of all, was not able to do just the dialogues with the guides of the idea of the kingdom of God on earth. The danger of the burial of the problem in the unsteady sands of the day before yesterday the word -block loamed in this program. The arguments of the guest of the studio - the iron comrade. Goryacheva - were predictable as the next budget crisis. She was echoed by like -minded people. The former announcer of the CT Shatilov was especially excited. Deprived of the opportunity to broadcast with so beloved by communist people of torch marches due to the absence of them, she erupted with anger about those who send our blue -eyed youths to death in black -eyed Chechnya. (The theme of blue-eyed traditionally rejoined in the air and found its embodiment in the thesis of hot about the need for a national oriented TV.) Kiselev, however, was decisively not configured to listen to many times the heard. Yes, and Anatoly Chubais, the second guest of the program, on the course of murderously determined the global tactics of the Communists: instead of answering the question of how you evaluate the separation of Germany, you are talking about bombing in Serbia and the failure of the Russian economy. This is exactly in Soviet logic called "But you are beaten by blacks." But even more brilliant the unique formula for the confrontation of “they are”, which was brought out by the same Chubais, already angry with the usual memorized reproaches in the collapse of Russia: “We were mistaken, and you destroyed; We were underdeveloped, and you interfered; We did, and you broke. ” The precisely calculated transmission strategy helped to very clearly show the poverty of the philosophy of those who intend to steer us and continue. One girl even broke into a cry: what the revolution did with people is visible in this hall. The revolution destroyed the intellectual potential of Russia. How many more generations should die, I turn to you, Svetlana Petrovna, so that people who know how to speak on a piece of paper sit here? The question, of course, is rhetorical. But the fact that he is so ardently raised by a young man, inspires optimism. Suddenly, when looking at the guests of the studio, it became clear: no, for the last ten years they did not go in vain. The “democratic” part of the audience was represented by young people; Their eyes are smart, the reaction is fast, speech is clear. And on the "communist" side, the outgoing nature was sitting. I do not mean age, but the knead of nature, the resistance of reflexes: each Chubais replica responded with a rattles of handcuffs and clattering of the shutters - “on the bunks”, “kill”, “shoot”. The last “voice of the people” is the undoubted luck of Kiselev. Firstly, it was possible to collect a truly representative audience. Secondly, to ruin the tradition of demonizing the image of Chubais as the main enemy of Russia. Thirdly, to show that there are things in the Fatherland and more important PR technologies for the incineration of competitors. The transfer turned out to be archive in a public sense. And, more than ever, Kiselev himself needed. Indeed, recently, he seemed to have become the obvious: as you can’t count on the gratitude of yesterday’s partner in love, and even asam should not rely on the spectators' lifelong enthusiasm on TV. However, the program “The Voice of the People” was probably an attempt by the leader to get out of stagnation. The first issues of the problem did not solve. On the contrary, they confirmed the opinion of Vladimir Nabokov that the Russian language is just as poorly adapted for talk shows as English-for explanation in love. And how, tell me, you can get out of the eternal binary opposition, relatively speaking, Shabdurasulov - Yastrzhembsky, boring and participants and viewers? In just one way: enlarge the topic, rise above the mouse running, to concentrate extremely. Which was done. The dangers of self -power have long been in wait for Vladimir Pozner. He also needed a breakthrough. And he committed him. Fortunately, there was a thorough reason: ten years since the fall of the Berlin wall. This topic is dedicated to Pozner's film “In Search of the Iron Curtain”. It is made in a slightly unusual style for our TV. With a certain degree of conventionality, it can be called documentary impressionism. Together with the American journalist Raidzhi Neudelson Pozner drove through the cities and weights of Eastern Europe, where a non -metaphorical iron curtain was held, but a real one. They once again tried to understand and comprehend what happened to all of us. That is why the most interesting in the film are the images of the authors, fit into the old, like the ghost of communism, the truth: two worlds are two Shapiro. Our Posner is a doubtful, cautious, who has not yet squeezed out the last drops of fear. Their Neudelson is in Bolshevik, unbending, aggressive-naporous, categorically confident in their own rightness. Someone will say-so what, different people, different characters. The film, however, suggests: no, different ways of being in the world. Probably, Pozner was not easy for the recognition that sounded in the film. Yes, he worked in propaganda, yes, he “brought to life” the line of the party and government, yes, sincerely believed that we were doing everything right. But it’s ready, ready to repent as many times as necessary ... He does not hide confusion: it was worth going a thousand miles to make sure of the obvious - the iron curtain disappeared from reality, but remains in our skull boxes. The same sad given is confirmed by the survey in the program of E. Kiselev. In the assessment of the “pros” and “against” the October events, 82 years ago, the voice was divided approximately equally. In general, for a long time we still drink the same tea. From advertising. Real. With three elephants ...
