Our feast

March 9, 2011 Viktor Shenderovich

Therefore, a couple of weeks ago, the last evening of the Ulyanovsk festival "TEFI-Region", farewell gatherings ... A table with the capital's guests-as called "faces". But by the way, not only “faces” are editors, telecritics, producers ...

And in the midst of the feast, Ernest Matskyavichus (who had committed an indicative evolution from the stars of an independent NTV in the personal servicing of a person who defeated the person who was defeating), nobody pulled out his tongue or hand - showed his colleagues a screensaver on his mobile phone.

On that screensaver, they were just two together - Erni and Vladimir Vladimirovich. It was a frame from the last series of the soap series “The conversation of the national leader with the people” (production of VGTRK and Channel One).

Helps from the cops, explained the purpose of the telephone screensaver, straightforward Matzkeavicius.

Well, who would doubt it. With such a acquaintance, as Russian practice shows, you can put people at pedestrian crossings, and not only to exceed speed and drive to the red light ...

But the story is not about that - the second part of the Marlezon ballet is much more curious.

As luck would have it (or very incidentally, this side to see), Elena Masyuk sat at that table, a star of the same independent NTV, who forgot to make an evolution in the service staff and therefore disappeared from television screens. Shortly after the Ernestova frank session, she got up from the table and went to give a long-promised interview to a local journalist.

And on the direct question of the latter "is it easy to surprise you?" She admitted directly: it just succeeded ... And she told the story with a folder on the phone of the stars of the state channel.

Elena, it should be noted, is not at all from the Silelin family. Maybe that's why, having returned to the table, she did not consider it necessary to hide the content part of her interview from colleagues or Matskyavichus himself.

And then an amazing thing happened: Matskyavichus was offended.

Wait a minute, Elena said, we didn’t peek in the keyhole for you, because you yourself told us about this portrait on the phone! Loud and publicly smiling cheerfully. So you are proud of it - or are you shy?

There was no clear answer.

And this, in my opinion, is a clear answer.

Because they (may I be allowed to be a plural) have been living in a triumphant double -humor for the second ten years.

All that can be exhausted from the cash desk and landscape on the occasion of proximity to Putin will be expelled with pleasure and will even tell about this with Dostoevsky voluptuousness (a man of man!) ... They will tell, obviously counting on a common, justifying denominator - and in every way this common denominator implies!

I don’t know if Matskyavichus “Bobok” read, but his candies with a demonstration of the picture on a mobile - this is in its pure form a scream “caught up” ... In the lining of this revelation, the support requirement is visible: after all, everyone, gentlemen, would do the same in my place, isn't it?

And when it suddenly turns out that - no, not everyone; When someone clearly separates himself and his rules of decency from their ideas about this subject, there is a frightened resentment and accusation of betrayal.

Why did you tell?

But then. Then, so that your deflection is not considered in our feast the norm for the spine! In the edification of youth - so that at least this Ulyanovsk journalist receive an injection of another ethics. And then we all look away and be shy to answer ... And in a tight feast we involuntarily begin to smell of someone else's smell.

By the way, at that Ulyanovsk table people were very different, including very decent, but one Masyuk publicly reacted.

She is a strange man! And on her mobile phone - Vasilisa's dog ...

If only Sechin put it, or something.
