The results of the week. On the ring
I just received a letter from a friend who has long been living in Russia. It has a link to the news about restoring quotes from the old anthem on the Kursk - Rolt and the question “What the ...” I answer. Here is such ...
In general, I have several answers to this question. Option one. They really restore. Historical ... Further to someone like - justice or injustice. Those who gave such an instruction introduce the idea that their childhood, adolescence and further existence do not occur in the heads of the country's citizens, not because dad and his mother loved each other, but by the good resolution of a great instance. This instance on their pot - citizens - planted, and bought diapers to them, and with an affectionate, but with a firm hand, she directed to the activity that now feeds these citizens. Otherwise - how to grow? Otherwise, how to inspire work and exploits ... Arseny Roginsky spoke about all this in December last year at the Stalinism History: “ The topic of Stalinism as a systemic phenomenon is present in the new history textbooks. It would seem an achievement. But terror acts there as a historically determined and non -alternative tool for solving state problems. This concept does not exclude sympathy for the victims of the Molokh of History, but categorically does not allow the question of the criminal nature of terror and the subject of this crime.
This is not the result of the installation for the idealization of Stalin. This is a natural side consequence of the solution of a completely different problem - the approval of the idea of the obvious correctness of state power. Power is above any moral and legal assessments. It is not pretended by definition, because it is guided by state interests that are higher than the interests of man and society, above morality and law. The state is always the right - at least as long as it copes with its enemies. ”
So, the first version of the answer to the question “What is ...” is such: they want to gradually, gradually accustom the Russians to the idea that they can fall on their heads, they themselves can be found in falling aircraft, their children can be shot at the same time with firewalk terrorists, their husbands and brothers can die in a drowning submarine, which they are in no hurry to help, they themselves can be killed to death to death. The transitions of rushing special vehicles, they can be blown and crippled by riot police in violation of the constitutional right to peaceful processions, they can take property and even life, but the state is always right. At the same time, the gloomy prophecy of Alexander Galich will soon be realized: “They would, gypsum, human, will again gain greatness.”
The idea of always the rightness of the state is extremely convenient for individual representatives of this state. Since the creation of immortal lines about who exactly has raised us and inspired us, a lot of time has passed. Today's Russians do not imagine how the life of the Soviet people of that time developed. Today's Russians have already walked fat, they know what mobile communications and the same diapers are used to the bath in a separate apartment and hot water, go abroad and eat dos. That's great. Let's agree that the Great gave you all this ... (insert the right name yourself), and from now on, no actions are subject to criticism. And about the opportunity not to choose it again to rule the country, I generally be silent. And by the way, those who act on his behalf are never mistaken, do not take bribes, do not lazy to fulfill their duties. Just holy power. So we will agree.
The option of the second answer to the question "What the ...". Not marked by the first option. Those who advocate the idea of the ever -free rightness of the state are not at all going to make this imperishable thought stick out from each corner. The main thing for them is that the thought, one way or another, is being into consciousness. But they were not lucky with cheap clerks. And cheap clerks devotely set out secret directives everywhere, not caring that excessive diligence sometimes brings directly opposite fruits.
Option Third. Well, how to deal with the slave consciousness? Only constantly recalling: guys, you were slaves! Maybe someday they will tell you in response: yes, we were no longer wanting! That is, such a provocative method of influence - from the nasty. In the end, our president is a lawyer, and he cannot but understand that the need for legal consciousness is built on a free choice. He spoke about the need for legal consciousness many times from different stands. And finally, I decided to push us your nose to your nose with our not always glorious past. And the commission on countering the falsification of history is created solely in order to prevent further enslavement. And let this inscription corrupts the eyes to those who do not want to be slaves - in the first stage. In the next stages, they no longer go to the subway and do not see "restored historical justice." However, it seems to be brought to me.
In general, to the question “What the ...” I will honestly answer: this is how ... and we go further along the ring.
