Pornographic system

Stigat the striptease on the screen,

wrap the guts of the venuration,

But still, the spirit is the main thing.

Down with pornography of the spirit!

A. Voznesensky

Two phrases have been spinning in my head all the last time. The first, the author of which seems to be Woody Allen: “If you want to know a person, do not listen to what others say about him. Listen to what he is talking about others. " And the second, the authorship of Andrei Voznesensky: "Down with pornography of the spirit!" Here these two phrases came together somehow bizarre, and I notice that what situation from the Russian socio-political life, they are not perfect for describing it.

For example, the Duma United Russia begins to deal with the unscrupulous Gudkov, who, you understand, was engaged in business parallel to his deputy activity. And it is about him, the bad of this Gudkov, they say that it is precisely what Woody Allen’s wisdom is recalled. All around the enemies and undermines of the foundations of the state, all criminals - except, of course, deputies from United Russia.

And our president loves to talk about others that they have "hands on the elbow in the blood." Something he liked this phrase. Already at the Khodorkovsky hand on the elbow in the blood, and at Berezovsky. Only Putin somehow does not pay attention to his hands.

Or when VTB, in response to the logical questions of his shareholder of Navalny about the large -dollar dollar expenses of the bank, offers to look for corruption in the Foundation of Navalny himself - says VTB, it seems, about Navalny, but characterizes himself.

And for some reason, doubts crept in moral purity, and even cleanly before the law, all these lovers to promise others. Especially when you hear, not only they say about others, but you also see how they do it.

It was then that the second phrase pops up-about pornography of the spirit. Because when Unicorn Isaev, on a blue eye, says that the bill introduced by him to prohibit working in the Duma of Demini deputies is not related to Gennady Gudkov-this is pornography of the spirit. When other United Russia states (again in connection with Gudkov) that “the law is one for all” is a pornography of the spirit. When investigators tell the lawyer Ksenia Sobchak that they will not return the money that was seized from her because she can spend them “wrong” is a pornography of the spirit. When Patriarch Kirill is nothing hesitless states that the main values ​​of the Russian Orthodox Church are mercy, forgiveness and compassion, and all this against the backdrop of a recent “five -minute of hatred” for half a year in relation to Pussy Riot, this is the same pornography of the spirit. When, instead of rightly punishing the sadists from riot police, the courts are ready to unfairly punish those who were beaten - this is a pornography of the spirit. President’s flights on a deltas plan over a broken -down and plucked country, over disenfranchised and clogged citizens are pornography of the spirit. When in the prime time on television, a hysterical leading current show in the name of the rating merrily and sophisticatedly turns the personal life of people inside out-this is pornography of the spirit.

The authorities completely lost the sense of proportion, control over their own actions, our rulers with all their might strangle moral imperatives in themselves: not to push, the weak not to offend, not to beat alone, the taste, in the end, in the end, as he repeats these ugliness dozens and hundreds of times. This is a pornography of the spirit in its purest form.

What to argue, at what system we live: undercapitalistic, totalitarian, authoritarian ... It is more correct to call this system pornographic - everything yells about it everywhere.

In this regard, I have a proposal to professional wrestlers for morality: if they still have a public morality to be at least anyway, I should bring to the law “On the Protection of Children from Information that harm their health and development” the concept of “pornography of the spirit”. And prohibit the distribution of relevant information through television and radio from 4 to 23 hours local time. Let the pro -government “Newsmakers” pour on the air the flows of their ignorance, hypocrisy and rudeness in the remaining five hours.

I am completely sure that as a result of such measures, both children and adults, fenced from the decaying influence of power and granted pornographers, will win.
