Due to the fact that “Poet and Citizen” Dmitry Bykov suddenly turned out to be “person No. 2” in this Coord Council, here is a work on this topic: from my friend in LiveJournal Oleg Rudoy (http://ran-ger.livejournal. com/1640.html - "About nightingales and fat poets").
“ ...It was at the very height, at the highest moment of their feelings, when Bylinkin and the young lady went out of town and wandered through the forest until nightfall. And there, listening to the chirping of insects or the singing of a nightingale, they stood for a long time in motionless positions. And when Lizochka, wringing her hands, asked more than once: “Vasya, what do you think the nightingale is singing about? To which Vasya Bylinkin usually answered restrainedly: “He wants to eat, that’s why he sings...” (Mikhail Zoshchenko. Sentimental stories) .
.....As a cultural and politically active citizen, I listen to “Echo of Moscow” - Apposition Radio - in the car. Radio criticizes Putin with Putin's money. Well, God bless them: no one has canceled salaries yet. The country needs “free radio” - let it be so that foreign countries will shut up...
That's what I mean. I'm talking about "Citizen Poet". Funny poems about Gad-Putin. Revolutionary. Brave. "We are going against it! We boldly denounce and ridicule! We are revolutionaries!"
Mikhail Efremov becomes not only the hero of alcohol stories! He is included in the non-systemic Apposition! And the writer Bykov is not just a writer: he is already a herald of freedom, he lifted the heavy body of the poet to the podium! He calls! He rules the crowd! He is like Lenin! What is it - Lenin? He is like Herzen!
And - tears flow down the inspired faces of the working and cultural people! Stories about their courage are passed from mouth to mouth, ratings are off the charts, and videos are being played.
And everything would be wonderful if it weren’t for one BUT . And I’m talking about this “BUT”,
Here's about Herzen: he published the revolutionary newspaper "The Bell", then - he would come from London to Russia and go to meetings with readers. To Kolomna, Tver and other Russian cities. Well - to carry your revolutionary thoughts. He would meet with people in cultural centers, and there would be such an announcement:
"Gentlemen and ladies! Only on Wednesday, only with us! Traveling from London and Paris! Revolutionary articles from the author's lips! Mr. Herzen, and his newspaper "Bell"! Admission is one ruble."
Or, for example, about Lenin. An announcement on the gates of some factory: “ Surprisingly bold thoughts about tsarism! Brother will avenge brother! Only here! Traveling from Geneva, the fiery revolutionary Ulyanov reads a medley of articles from his own newspaper Iskra! Admission: for workers - 5 rubles, for engineers - 10 rubles!
Could this have happened under the bastard kings??? Would Herzen and Lenin have done this?
But here is an announcement in Yekaterinburg - these are our days. This is the complete Apposition that came to us to speak and agitate.
" The project of producer Andrei Vasiliev, which quickly became famous, in which theater and film actor Mikhail Efremov reads topical poems by the writer Dmitry Bykov (he specially writes poems for the project in the style of domestic classics). Sharp socio-political satire, which is objectively lacking in our country. This can explain the rapid rise in popularity of the “Citizen Poet” project. In the first 24 hours after the appearance of another video on the Internet, less than 100 thousand people rarely watch it.
It all started on the Dozhd TV channel, where five episodes were released. The sixth, because of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and President Dmitry Medvedev, the channel’s management did not allow it to air. Now the project is being broadcast on the Echo of Moscow radio, and its video versions can be seen on the Internet. Ticket prices range from 900 to 3,500 rubles . "
Reminds me of Rabindranath Tagore's personal friend? This is how they become revolutionaries.
The producer of all this, Andrey Vasiliev, who regularly worked for Alisher Usmanov, headed the project. And poets and artists quietly collect money from gullible citizens.
And also - some cars were driving around Moscow as a sign of some kind of protest... And now - on the air for three days they were enthusiastically sucking up not an idea, not just for what... And - a spotted Bentley: like - “ all layers,” even the rich are against it!.... Nonsense...
“Comrades! - a Bentley is driving among us! This is a breakthrough in the spontaneous movement of the masses! Now they will see us!”…
Has anyone seen any of the speakers at Bolotnaya at least one owner of any business???? - although they are all businessmen... Business is based on criticizing the authorities, because for now they themselves are not in power.
What do I mean: this whole Apposition is a collection of unfortunately unemployed showmen who are losing their ratings. We need to have time to earn extra money during the elections. There used to be a lot of games, it was easier. Now, excuse me, there is a queue for one place.
How nice it is to see around Prokhorov the politician - Yarmolnik with crazy eyes, out of love for the candidate! Or - the candidate’s advisor “on body and facial movements,” singer Pugacheva! Or - the protest bourgeois diver Makarevich.... Tears flow from tenderness...
Non-system people can no longer fit in: it’s busy. And you have to make money.
And so, the grandchildren of Rabindranath Tagore's friend do not miss the opportunity. And they do it right. "Bees against honey." Spreading the fight against Putin to the masses with the money of the masses and with Putin's permission is wise.
You look - and then they will take you to some Council under the President.
And we, damn it, pay them for courage, for free-thinking, for fighting for us..... and no one will stand up at the concert and spit on their fat, drunken mugs...
And I won’t spit: since I don’t go, I’m sorry for the money, and I’m a coward - like everyone else. And I don’t listen to these poems anymore.
FUCKING FUCKING...
I also like jazzman Butman. I wonder if “United Russia” would help Amstrong play the trumpet if he suddenly materialized here?
I look at the poster: “ With the only concert in Samara, under the patronage of the United Russia party! John Lee Hooker, State Duma deputy from the Yamalo-Nenets district! ”
What does the craving for money do to us? And Butman has it...
No, blah! - on skates, in fire and water, in a game, in any shit.... as long as - in plain sight ... Play talentedly - and you will have everything, dude!....
