Stalinobus of time

It is not surprising that the Stalinists encourage power. Shocking that some liberals and journalists do not see evil in this

When the hero of the “Time Machine”, the English scientist of the 19th century, saddled his invention, he went to the future. This is not to say that Wells saw the future optimistically, but he did not send his hero to the past. For the past, even leading to a brilliant British future, has passed, and we must look forward.

We have the opposite. The missiles fall, the “Duma” take nonsense, and even reactionary nonsense, the junta steps on the human rights, the “people” go to prison for participating in a sanctioned rally or harmless happy, like Pussy Riot, businessmen are strangling and repressing, and Russia is rightly exhibited in the civilized world “ Rights Watch ". And at the same time, Volgograd, and for unknown reasons, Perm, St. Petersburg and a number of other cities decided to arrange a little Stalinist Nirvana: sloping into the past by buses with mustache portraits. And Volgograd himself will enjoy the creeping Stalinism for another six days a year, hiding behind the dates of catastrophic bombing and military victories. It is interesting what will argue with the Stalinist drug Perm: it seems that there was no Stalingrad battle, nor the Leningrad blockade and the anniversary of the anniversary. And what does the former Leningrad have to do with Stalinobuses, is it that this is the late revenge of the Leningrad Region over St. Petersburg? However, 46% of the population who lost the Sobchakovsky referendum on renaming the city, despite the comparative freshness of the event (1991), do not raise the question of returning the city to the Neva of its revolutionary name.

And where, at the time of the manic decision, our power, forever giving up on the initiatives of civil society, leading ahead, to Europe? That this is the tamer of the swamp and the avenue, the winner of the three girls, the participants of the punk-midwife, the leader of the Duma hordes, who condemned children-orphans into a miserable fate in our shelters, if only America would not get, the formidable judge of sexual minorities was silent, hiding his head under the wing of the familiar sterch, when the conversation came to protect therena and unreasonable Volgogrades from Bathing in the wormwood of the Palace and Athletes? As soon as Putin frowned, and the city council would have buried under Mamaev Kurgan. No, here he bowed before the “people's opinion”, for the “mustachioed nanny” on buses is a totem figure for the department where he fell to us. Hope for at least six days a year to drag out Stalin's drugs.

This did not surprise anyone. The Stalinist silhouette has long looted behind him. As in the song of Nutella Boltyanskaya: "A mustache is piercing over a brritia to Guboy, and the jacket grows from Versace lapels." But the reaction of some democrats causes shock. According to the Echo of Moscow, other journalists propose to introduce direct democracy and conduct a referendum at the request of the workers on the renaming of Volgograd (apparently, until the next thaw). And if the bloody past defeats, then let the inhabitants live under it, their risks.

And with buses too: let the Stalinists (and such are) ride, and the opponents of Stalinism will not sit in them. There is no need that with such connivance to evil, opponents will walk until they were scored with stones. And how will normal people feel in this country, where in the 21st century, when everyone already knows about the destruction of tens of millions, when there are chapters from the Gulag archipelago in the school program, half a century after renaming to Volgograd, the city on the Volga again becomes Stalingrad?

Then buses with Nazi portraits will be launched across Berlin? For neo -Nazis? Ah no, they will not let it go. There is Europe. They - to live, to us - to die. "The dog returns to his vomit."
