This is our homeland, son

The Independence Day of Russia every time puts television people in a difficult position: in fact, this is the main holiday of modern Russia, which is worthwhile to celebrate widely and thoroughly, as before November 7th. But the history of the last decade did not manage to mythologize and causes a stable gag reflex in many Russians. So even the Russian television channel - the stronghold and the singer of statehood did not dare to recall this story, and even more so any of its participants to heroize. In difficult situations, it always helps out a historical, so to speak, content. "Ilya Muromets", "Alexander Nevsky", "Hussar ballad", "two comrades served", "Volga -Volga", "Kuban Cossacks" - here you have both the Golden Fund of Russian cinema and the history of the Russian state, which any citizen of the country can be boldly proud of. Here, in the history of the state, reflected through cinema, there are the roots of the national idea that ideologists and modern large artists like Nikita Sergeyevich Mikhalkov cannot find. Getting a state prize from the hands of the president, he suggested that Russia has, cannot but be the main idea, which the president supported him vividly: "If the country is great, and it is undoubtedly great, it must have an idea." In the evening of the holiday, the program "Time" (ORT) formulated the idea in which it is worth living in Russia: patriotism. But it is one thing to formulate, another is to illustrate what patriotism is in practice, taken away from the villains who have chosen the holy as the last refuge. The Orlenyokovo recreational camp was visited by the correspondent of the Vremya program to talk with children about the future of Russia. Children from eight to twelve years old, built in a circle, are invited to answer the questions: who they want to become and where they think to live? Children are all going to live in Russia as one, because "this is our homeland, and it should prosper." "What is the future awaits Russia?" - the correspondent is interested. "Big, prosperous," again, as children, children respond to the written. The next plot is from the village located 60 kilometers from Moscow. Once again, children are in a circle around the correspondent, this time graduates of high school, preparing for the exit in a great life. Journalist question: "Does anyone are going to leave the country?" The answer, which does not fit into the diagram, will “live, will see”. The friendly choral "no" and the motivation "is our homeland, it is vast and beautiful", on the contrary, is found by a journalist with enthusiasm: "You just can’t believe these guys." And in order to demonstrate how good the native land is, another correspondent of the Time program jumps with a parachute, and its emotions literally swell: “Oh, how unbearably beautiful earth is from a height, you involuntarily say to yourself:“ This is my earth! ”You could only welcome this surge of patriotism in the program“ Time ”, if in the stories, firstly, there was at least some kind of informational pretense (Still, the “Time” program) and, secondly, the heroes of the plots would be really sincere, and not dubbing, as the same, the same words that were clearly prompted by the correspondents: "This is our homeland." The patriots loved their love not to prove their love, but by deeds, according to the “Time” program, they love the homeland, because it was “today, on the day of Russia's Independence, they presented a real holiday not only to citizens of Russia, but also to citizens in the whole world”. The independence of the festival of the hostage is most likely to coincide with the festival, and the coincidence of a random, just the journalists of the “time” in the patriotic rage did not understand their own ambiguities, how better ... “Patriotism is one of the deepest feelings, enshrined in centuries and millennia,” wrote V.I. It seems to be trying to promote the same type: the feelings of a separate state. Nepatriotic (in the interpretation of the ORT and new patriots) that, instead of having lost, to substitute another cheek, “complains of foreigners”, and Clinton, instead of coming to Radio Russia or, at the very end, on the Mayak radio station, chooses “Echo of Moscow” - why is not the back of the Russian patriots, finally, from the radio station? “Freedom” is a foreign correspondent for a certain number of “green” to his homeland! To use children for ideological purposes, they are generally forbidden, in order to show off in front of the television camera. It is possible even on the Holy Feast of Independence of Russia.

The Independence Day of Russia every time puts television people in a difficult position: in fact, this is the main holiday of modern Russia, which is worthwhile to celebrate widely and thoroughly, as before November 7th.

And in order to demonstrate how good the native land is, another correspondent of the “time” program jumps with a parachute, and its emotions literally swing: “Oh, how unbearably beautiful earth is from a height, you involuntarily say to yourself:“ This is my earth! ”

One could only welcome this surge of patriotism in the program “Time”, if in the subjects, firstly, there was at least some kind of informational occasion (after all, “Time” is a program of news) and, secondly, the heroes of the plots would be really sincere, and not the d debdovo, as the wounded, the same words that were clearly prompted by him: “This is our homeland.” Love for the homeland is an intimate feeling. Patriotism was therefore the last refuge of the villains that only the villains were trumpeted about him all the white light, while the real patriots loved their homeland quietly, trying to prove their love not with words, but deeds. Here are the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, according to the “Time” program, who love the homeland, because it was "today, on the day of independence of Russia, that they presented a real holiday not only to Russian citizens, but also to citizens around the world." That is, they released a French journalist from the Chechen captivity. A ambiguous statement: It turns out that the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were specially waiting for Russia's Independence Day in order to timid to the festival liberation of the hostage? Most likely - no, and the coincidence is random, just the journalists of the "time" in the patriotic rage did not understand their own ambiguity. They wanted the best ...

"Patriotism is one of the deepest feelings fixed by centuries and millennia of separate states," wrote V.I. Lenin. Patriotism, which, as a national idea, seems to try to promote ORT - of the same type: a feeling characteristic of a separate state. The main advantage of the patriot is to even think not to dare to go somewhere outside the fatherland, to see the world, to show yourself. Contacts with foreigners are a serious minus to a true patriot.

Patriotism is good until it turns into xenophobia until we dump the inner troubles on an external enemy. The NTV company is precisely not because of the interpretation of the ORT and the new patriots) that, instead of getting lost, to substitute another cheek, “complains to foreigners”, and Clinton, instead of coming to Radio Russia or, at worst, the Mayak radio station, chooses “Echo of Moscow” - why is it not slave in the Russian state? Babitsky, finally, from the Freedom radio station, if not a foreign spy, then certainly a foreign correspondent for a certain number of "green" selling homeland. Atu him!

Children shown on the Independence Day of Russia in the subjects of the Time program, very reminded me of the pioneers who read poetry campaigns at the Congresses of the Communist Party with calling voices. Children are neither then nor now or nothing. They like to be in sight, they want to please adults. To use children for ideological purposes is actually a prohibited technique. They, unintentional, for the sake of showing off in front of the television, will say anything. It is this property of a flexible children's psyche that cynical adults exploit, reinforcing the naivety and sincerity of the shattering of their own ideological attitudes. Like it or not, to wash the patriotism from the villains to television men in any way. Even on the Holy Feast of Independence of Russia.
