At the reception

I don’t know how you, dear reader, and I am very glad that these so-called holidays have finally ended. These holidays, by the way, are a serious test of not only the gastrointestinal tract, liver and cardiovascular system, but also the psychological independence of each of us. So answer me, can you work when everyone does not work, work? And when everyone is drunk around, do not drink? Agree that this is not very easy. You need to have remarkable willpower. The vast majority also has it, including it, unfortunately. Crisis of will.

Only a truly great country can afford to do nothing for so long. And on the other hand, really, why do something when the country is truly great.

After a long appointment, everything would not hurt to come to the doctor. In the last weeks of the departed and in the early days of the New Year, I have increasingly caught myself thinking that I cease to feel like an artist, and again became a psychiatrist. Representatives of the first profession observe, analyze and fix on the material what they see with the eye and processed by the brain. Representatives of the second - also observe, also analyze and often also fix. Only the patient to the bed to treat. Sorry, dear reader, sometimes this is a forced and the only way to provide assistance.

The entire project “Name of Russia” (still cannot solve this philological puzzle) reminded me of the observation chamber in which patients, obsessed with ideas of greatness gathered. Each speaker imagined himself a little the hero he represented. The term "nonsense" is not in the household, but in a psychiatric sense, constantly spinning in my head. The conditional and absurd competition between historical personalities outstanding in different directions from different eras could be a game or a school Olympiad if there were no pathos. And pathos in peacetime, dear reader, is always falsehood. Irony and humor are usually opposed to pathos. They lower it.

And the four leaders decided. I foresee a series of jokes that will begin like this: "Nevsky, Stolypin, Stalin and Pushkin are found ...". An excellent script is also possible. For example: in one ward there is a four leaders. The greats discuss those who represented them. How exactly, deeply, sincerely and objectively they did it. Leaders visit their proxies at home at home. The latter gradually go crazy. The four leaders could also hold a scientific conference on the topic “I want to give my name to Russia? If yes, what will I have from this? And if“ no ”, then why?”

And here is a psychiatric joke. More precisely, a documentary story about teapots, which happened again on the eve of the New Year. However, this story has a background. A few years ago, a large order for the manufacture of dishes with my drawings was received at the DULOVA factory. I wrote about this, but I remind you, dear reader. The director of the factory then said: "Workers refuse to apply Bilzho's drawings on dishes, because they promote sex and violence." They promote, as you understand, not workers, but my drawings.

Years passed, and now a large holding decided by the New Year to release a series of teapots with my anti -crisis chaste caricatures. After all, the crisis in the yard, if you remember, dear reader. There are few orders, reduction ... in the yard, but not in Dulevsky. "Duleva" all this world nonsense does not concern. "SULOVA" Principal Factory. "The workers will not apply Biljo's drawings to the Dulevo teapots. They will not go to work," said the director of the factory cut off. Long live the Great Dulian teapots! What is called, they stand to death! Not the director, but Alexander Nevsky. Well? And what crisis is terrible for us? No! Be healthy, dear reader, and hold yourself in your hands.
