The face of Russia

So, almost everyone who is outraged by the imprisonment of Pussy Riot says that he would limit himself to flogging or something like. More often - flogging. The desire to take up the rods was expressed by a variety of people: from Zyuganov to Nemtsov. They all believe that bodily punishment would be less punishment than some years of general regime camps. By the way, the pattern was designated: the more the non -surpassed executor is burdened by the years, the more willingly he uses the words: priest, ass, soft place, just not a place. The torture of young female bodies is clearly among the pleasures of age. Old people, one word, and nothing senile is alien to them.

It is clear that the air shakes for a red word, for greater intelligence of the main and, of course, philanthropic thought. But still interesting: which of them is not only in words, but in fact would have picked up rods? Someone is easier, someone is more difficult to imagine ... Zyuganova, for example, is easy. He is a native of the village of Mymrino, Oryol region. Orlovschina is the most thick part of the red belt, and before that - the most rooted, most, so to speak, natural Russian serfdom. In this area, "notes of the hunter" were born, which hit the serfs with the thunder force of the manifesto. I can imagine the secant and Nemtsov - far from an old man and not a Stalinist, but what a lightness in words and tone (who heard): "I would put them in the ass!"

On January 24, 1878, Vera Zasulich planted three full -capacity bullets in General Trepov, the St. Petersburg mayor. So she stood up for the politician Bogolyubov, who refused to take off his hat in front of him, for which he ordered him to tear out. The jury justified her, because she, as they were convinced, had in mind to protect the honor of a man who could not do this himself. In contrast to them, unsophisticated inhabitants, even the rulers of human rights thoughts in present -day Russia are not considered by such a matter as the honor of their clients. They, we repeat, are sure that dishonor flogging is softer, more humane than the room behind the prickly wire.

Some of them will crown even with tears in his voice: "Yes, we are in a figurative sense !!". So it is so, only the meaning of you for some reason is transferred and transferred to rods. This is exactly what the people of Russian culture and the public mourned about during serfdom: both Slavophiles and Westerners, even Dostoevsky, this herald of the pure state-church unceremoniality. Serfdom, they said, cripples both lower and higher, both slaves and gentlemen. Before that, it took root and healed in Russia that his traces would plow it for a very long time. The fatal aperture will be coload, corrupted, vulgarize souls and customs, the whistle of the pink will be surrendered for centuries. As they looked into the water ... bodily punishments, abolished tragically late, remain not only in police and home everyday life. They are in the folk soul: in the language of all classes, layers, creeds and beliefs. Powder, tear out, unfasten, divert, cut, give in the face, neck, nose, in the eye ... with the same relish and innate knowledge of the matter, all the illiterate, educated, poor, and rich pronounce it all. Those who say that in Europe of our days a hamuconical court is impossible, of course, are right. But it is also impossible that all of Europe, from academicians of literature and painting to musicians of the first row and fronting clergy, advocated the bodily punishment of three young women, whatever they were accused.

On such days, scientific schools are remembered once again, which distinguish Russia as a separate civilization, alien to the West. And if so, then millions of hands stretching to the rods are not a shame on Russia, as three or four white crows in this country believes, but the face of Russia. Its features are mismatch, other enmity, but these are the features of one face, and his Putin’s expression is not accidental. And yet ... Nemtsov: "I would have put them in the ass, and that would end it." No, Mr. Nemtsov, for the country it would just have begun. And for you - well, for you yes, it could have ended. In Russia, still 140 million. Vera Zasulich among them you would recognize by looking at you. “What a small hole at the trunk!”, They would have managed to think.
