The horrors of multiculturalism
In mid-July, a certain television company Astra Media, which shoots the film for the TV-3 federal television channel, began to demand from us to show shamanistic dances with cries and howls, shamanistic diseases with foam at the mouth and crumbling bodies, as well as the conduct of rituals into the expense of the moon, desecrating all our traditions. When we did not fulfill their whims, the producer of the film allowed himself an insulting expression in relation to our sacred land, and then they arranged for us, the shamans of Altai, a real telephone terror. They began to blackmail with the words in SMS messages "usually they will not quarrel with journalists ..." And when they realized that they could not persuade real shamans, they began to hire to participate in the shooting of dubious personalities. In Altai, a reform of shamanism was held in the white faith, and we cannot violate the covenants of our ancestors, so we propose to protect us from any encroachments and violations of our ancient traditions from television companies of dubious origin.
Applications about the spiritual suffering of shamans, which coincided in time with a trial on causing spiritual suffering to the guards of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, suggest that the conflict of society with the Orthodox Church is by no means the only one in the country. About this writes on the website Slon.ru Alexander Baunov :
We need to get used to the idea that we have no general national idea. That Russia is a diverse, varied, different country. Continuous Bakhtinsky polyphony. In this situation, you can cut each other, or you can turn this discord into a pretty national feature. As in the Netherlands, when the question was resolved whose life is more correct. Catholics, Protestants and people who are not part of the church communities first torn off their influence on education, and then formulated the principle of Verzuiling - the demarcation of the people on the subspecies, independent human verticals, which, recognizing each other, hold the building together. No one enters someone else's territory without an invitation, is not indignant that everything is wrong here, and does not tell you how everyone should be.
According to the Columnist Polit.ru Mikhail Solomatin , the Dutch version of the peaceful coexistence of different communities in Russia is interfered by the myth of the forcibly taken monolithic Soviet culture, which seemed to continue in the era of the global decay of such monoliths:
The natural consequence of this understanding of the problem was a sharp strengthening of the protective principle in the cultural sphere. The legislation is quite quickly reoriented to protect such ephemeral constructs as “morality” and “spiritual values”. The State Duma deputy from Fair Russia Tatyana Moskalkova promises to petition for the introduction of the criminal article "for attempted morality and actions that encroach on the honor and dignity of citizens, the moral principles of the company." The post-Soviet consciousness automatically began to personify the socio-political changes that disturb him, so that there was someone to assign responsibility. Now that this mechanism has earned, guilt is no longer needed, because anyone can be declared a criminal. The inability to find the perpetrator for changes that have an objective reason makes us activate the search for an invented attacker. The country falls into a vicious circle.

The English -speaking blogosphere discuss the opening ceremony of the Olympics in London, which left few indifferent. Blogs are full of delighted replicas to the director of the show Danny Boyle, but as soon as the conversation goes into the political plane, the consensus collapses. Writes Columnist Telegraph Andrew Gilligan :
The ceremony was very small -town, it was especially noticeable in the stage, which depicted the NHS healthcare system. In general, the emphasis on British healthcare is more like self -love. In other European countries, it is better and healthier people. And the average Chinese does not know at all what this abbreviation means.
But it seems to me that the Olympic Games themselves are a rather small -town thing. Three weeks ago, I was in Libya an observer at the first free elections for 60 years. In terms of the language of excited television composers, it really was a historical moment. And in London there was just a show.
The famous American film critic Roger Ebert notes in his blog the satirical character of the show:
I don’t know if the ceremony was good or bad. She was stunning - it seems, the right word. And very British. The American commentators had to work hard, explaining to the audience of allusion to the Shakespearean “storm”, the hero of the industrial revolution of Brunel or “Sex Pistolz”. Thank God, Mr. Bina did not have to explain - Atkinson said everything for himself. I enjoyed great pleasure, although in some places the show was almost rolling to the satire. This was rather a parody of the very idea of the ceremony.
The parliamentarian from the conservatives Aiden Berly wrote on Twitter that it was the left -wing opening ceremony in history - even compared to Beijing 4 years ago. Nothing of the kind. The Beijing show was built in the most severe discipline of thousands of people, when everyone performed his role like a pixel on a monitor. The London ceremony expressed good nature and enthusiasm - perhaps not always clear, but with great enthusiasm.
Aiden Berley's tweet , in which he uses the expression "Levaki multi -core shit" attracted the attention of not only bloggers and journalists, but also politicians. Writes the blogger Telegraph Dan Hodges :
Berley is generally a unique character. The last time they talked about him when he appeared at a bachelor party to his friend in a SS costume and shouted Hitler. It cost him work in the ministry. And today, Dauning Street hastened to disown his ultra-right remarks. This, of course, is good, but not enough. No, true - what else needs to be done, in addition to wearing a Nazi form and insulting national minorities, so that you are finally fired? We invite people from all over the world to ourselves, and some member of the parliament meets them with cries “went away from my kitchen, foreigners”. Let's do without it for the next two weeks. And then we will have all the eternity to wore the horrors of multiculturalism and the barbarism of health reform. But now let's go without politics.
