Goodbye, liberal!
The evening of the Liberal funeral, dedicated to the 95th anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution, took place on November 8 in the city of three revolutions in the Kokoshka fashion bar, where political activists, poets, counter-cultural people, as well as other curious audience gathered.
Temrin "Liberast" itself has recently become quite fashionable. Even Harry Kasparov used it in relation to the Minister of Economics in the Gaidar government, Sergei Aleksashenko.
The first word was taken by the chairman of the St. Petersburg “other Russia” Andrei Dmitriev : “We respect honest opposition from the Democratic camp, such as Andrei Pivovarov, Alexander Skobov (by the way, the other day he came out of the Jolidarity movement, protesting against dem, and civil responsibilities in it), the civil responsibility organization and others. We do not consider them liberals, unlike such odious figures as Boris Nemtsov and Sergey Parkhomenko, who drained the protest on December 10, 2011 and who took the masses of angry townspeople to Bolotnaya Square in conspiracy with the Kremlin and the Moscow Mayor. Or, unlike the Democratic Petersburg Committee, led by a lover of Western grants Tatyana Dorutina, which includes the characters splitting the protest movement in our city. ”
Dmitriev noted that the “Liberal funeral” echoes with the sermons of Edward Limonov about the exposure of the leaders of the swamp opposition and the “letter of Comrade Stalin” Zakhar Prilepin. And then he turned to the classics: he quoted the thoughts of the revolutionary leaders - Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Kim Il Sen - about the rotten liberalism.
The second speaker was the famous publicist and political activist Dmitry Zhenya, whose speech was mainly devoted to the ideology of National Bolshevism. “Can some bureaucrats from the prosecutor's office and judicial clerks forbid the strong people to call themselves National Bolsheviks? - Dmitry asked the rhetorical question,- as history shows, the National Bolsheviks did not even frighten the Nazi dungeons, into which supporters of Nikisha and Strasser fell into in the 30s. "
The next was the writer and communist German Sadulaev . In Budyonnovka with a red star, Herman who read his poems looked irresistibly:
Goy you are Rus', my Rus'!
For a long time for you to sleep dreary, suffering?
Commissars, return!
Without you, do not calm law!
Is it dreaming of whether it seems:
“An effective manager? “Viselitsa!”
“A strong business executive? “Shooting!”
Finally, the nail was an exit to the stage of the hero of the evening - liberal. He made the following speech:
"Good evening, venerable audience!
Let me introduce myself, I am a liberal!
I played a big role in the fate of our country. In 1991, having passed the CPSU party card to the CPSU, I ruined the Soviet Union. I am Mikhail Gorbachev.
In 1992, I arranged shock therapy, putting the country on the line of impoverishment and hunger. I am a Social Darwinist - the strongest must survive, the one who can earn money for himself. Weak - pensioners, people with disabilities, large mothers, residents of depressed cities and regions let them die out. The state is not obliged to take care of them. I am Yegor Gaidar.
In 1993, I shot parliament from tanks. Democracy is only for the Democrats, this has always been my belief. I am Boris Yeltsin.
I arranged a privatization of public property, selling it cheap. I stole deposits from the people in Sberbank. My friends and I fabulously enriched on this. All Europe and America are envious of our wealth. I am Anatoly Chubais.
When in December 2011 performances began against dishonest elections, I decided to privatize them. I took the people on December 10, 2011 to rally to Bolotnaya Square, having conspired with the Kremlin. I protected the protest and prevented the popular revolution. For this, the FSB should give me the order. I am Boris Nemtsov.
I always believed that the Russian people are cattle. He cannot be trusted to choose power, otherwise he will choose terrible communists and nationalists. The people need a strong hand, so I planted and will put in prisons of various extremists who dare to blaze something against me. I am Vladimir Putin.
I appear in different guises. I am both power and opposition. Both ORT and Echo of Moscow. For more than 20 years, since I have passed my wings over Russia. And I will continue to torment the Russian people until they bury me into the grave.
The liberal expressing these theses was placed in the coffin, filled with white ribbons and solemnly carried away so as not to overshadow the harsh Russians truly his presence. "
The liberal expressing these theses was placed in the coffin, filled with white ribbons and solemnly carried away so as not to overshadow the harsh Russians truly his presence.
After that, "dancing on the coffins" began. The musical accompaniment was provided by the electronic group Virgo Intacta , under the rhythms of which Sergey Grebnev, widely known in narrow circles, read out his picturesque philosophical and everyday stories and urban parables.
