There is no limit to our sequence!
You must admit that there was a lot of noise and talk about the Russian march on November 4, but the morning event on the girl’s field ended, rather, a zilch . We came there - if you averaged estimates of different observers - thousands of one and a half people. In addition, there were shares parallel to action - on the "Day of National Unity" this was not observed even among professional patriots, which took the holiday to heart.
The “perpendicular” rally of anti -fascists on Bolotnaya Square at two in the afternoon of November 4 gathered people two smaller times than a gathering on a girl’s - estimates are leaving from six hundred to a thousand people. The incorrigible optimists, however, talked about two thousand, but we understand: even if romantics in our dreams are inflated to such numbers, then the business is the seams ...
The meeting on Bolotnaya, in turn, was an expanded composition of the rally held on Lubyanka at Solovetsky Stone, on October 30 at six after the afternoon - there were about four hundred people. October 30 - a day with the complex name "memory of the victims of political repression" - was also marked by "popular unity": the same stone was rallyed at noon, so not all journalists could figure out and understand the difference ahead of time. As Andrei Kolesnikov noted, the date did not take root ...
Finally, another date, deeply rooted, to everyone memorable, but from this no less strange-"The October Revolution, which these mysterious Russians for some reason celebrate on November 7"-was also marked by the rally of the Communists ...

What was in common with all these festivities and festivities? All of them, so to speak, fell out of the information space, being reflected only by the same second- and third-rate media ...
So, I repeat, the street activity was actually “ not seen” - most of our compatriots never saw her.
And all because “not going together” members of the series are now customary to declare “negligible” and discard on this basis. Our “current state” - either “managed”, or “sovereign” democracy - is reduced to fashion for a simplified vision of everything and everything, to discarding everything “secondary”, whether it is members of a number or members of the sentence. The desired, desired - constant remains, orphan stability.
"The subject is a stone, the predicate - does not flow."
However, the devil - or the possibility of changes? - As always, lies in details. In the small. In the discarded ...
The explanation, however, is seductive to any marginals: "We are not carefully noticed - it means they are afraid, which means we are strength, strength, strength! .."
Who is right - or are everyone wrong?
You can understand anything by turning to that "small", discarded and missed. Without the risk of applying for right, especially - for completeness, I will limit myself to several remarks.

Why did the Day of National Unity have thought? A strange question is for this unity and was plotting. In order to, to unite all members of the series together, into the first member, in Constant, and discard the rest ...
It turned out, at first glance, something incomprehensible. Not what they wanted.
The holiday, originally declared during the day of the expulsion of the Poles from Moscow, could only unite those who would like to have someone.
Well, they received last year’s “right march” with their hands thrown in Nazi greetings, with appropriate speeches and calls. Received this year - the intention to repeat ...
But actually, the construction of Poland into the main historical antagonists of Russia puts the current Russian power itself in a strange position: "Tell me who your enemy is, and I will tell you who you are ..."
If ( as Alexander Daniel noted) to derive our modernity straight from the period "until December 25, 1917" - so to speak, "bypassing socialism," then the announcement of our adversaries and the marriage of the former component of the Russian Empire looks strange and a little little town.
However, the current dances around the fire with spells to another part of the empire - Georgia look even more strange. But last year's beatings of the Poles in Moscow - when the "unknown hooligans" caught and individually blown up exactly as many journalists as it was in Poland, the Russian teenagers, the children of our diplomats were beaten at a time - there are "hunting season" for Georgians ...
If, in the latest fashion, it is still considered the Soviet Union by the continuation of the Russian Empire, then it is again strange to appoint the enemy of the former member of the Warsaw Treaty. Here, rather, we are moving away by the 30s, when Poland was the "probable enemy" of the Red Army. That is, the reference does not go to the post -war years, but by the eyelid "pre -power", by no means gold and not classical ... Why?
Then, by the way, the special dislike of the Soviet General and the Politburo to the Political Political was explained in many ways with the memory of the shameful defeat of 1920. Now, nostalgiars in the USSR also have a couple of claims to the Poles - "solidarity" and Katyn . But why stick it out? After all, the bright image of the great power and the "great era" is reduced to the palace and bloodsing. What, in general, is true ... But why, like this, to admit?
In general, the proclamation of the holiday on November 4 indicated what place in the modern world is the current “leaders” by Russia ...

But this is only a consequence of the original plan: to put the “new Russian idea” “negative identity” (may the guides and clubs forgive me for the inaccurate use of this concept!), Plus, for lack of the best, to build politics as “a story overturned forward”.
On this path, even if we return in our searches to our current borders, then any victories of the past that indicate a specific opponent (whether it is the Battle of Kulikovo, the capture of Kazan, the Siberian campaign of Ermak or the conquest of the Caucasus), being named as a reason for popular unity, will inevitably cause two difficulties.
There will be those who refrain from the unification on the proposed reason - Lee, Circassians, God knows who ... they, look, will make their not quite Russian march, which certainly contradicts the original idea of a bright holiday ... or, conversely, to unfortunately, it is struck from it.

There will also be others - who will take out a historical conchium put on the bones on the bones of the project ... And what will he find in these bones without even Cuvier?
Prince Dmitry Ivanovich, representative of the President ... That is, a khan in the Western Federal Ulus, opposing the usurper Mamai and restoring the constitutional order in the Horde during the battle between the Don and the Nonnaravaya, did he believe that he was released from the yoke of this Horde? Did he consider his victory - the victory of Rus'? Rather, Moscow, because Russia was no less common at that time, who were not under the Horde, but under Lithuania ...
And the victory of the Sermak - the bearer of not only the power of Rus', but also Russian culture - over the wild hordes of Kuchum? It was then that the Scriptures and television productions of recent years left no room for doubt! Alas, although the detachment of the mercenaries of the field commander Yermak Timofeevich forced Kuchum to migrate east, but his correspondence with King Boris lasted many years: Godunov called to himself, promised to give the reign of Ryazan or something better ... and Kuchum, brought up in Khiva and Bukhara, and until old age, was not needed by the “book boy”. He wrote: “They say that your Cossacks robbed a caravan, where there were books and glasses for me - so they would have burned the books, but even though you will return the glasses, I, an old person, are hard without glasses!”
The events of 1613 before me have already dismantled everything: what is there to repeat? ..
So with the "story, overturned forward," it would be better to be careful.

And with "negative identity" - even more so.
It is not told by me that the main question for Russia today is the question of "others."
We cannot determine ourselves differently as in relation to these "others" - this, unfortunately, is a given or almost a given ...
The second question remains: how exactly do we determine ourselves in relation to them?
"Others" - who are they?
"Aliens", hostile, "object of attack"-or still "other", an object of friendly interest and the subject of dialogue?
While this question is given an obvious seemingly answer: “others” are “strangers”.
With all the ensuing consequences. Unfortunately, by no means productive.
And the unobses about boats with fascist salute are only one of these logical consequences ...

However, these consequences go according to the category of ideology and strategy. What are the practical and tactical results of the institution a year ago of the Day of National Unity?
