We will not stand behind the observation

Actually, in some other country (the slanderer will still call her normal) Nikolai Dostal could not write a woeful open letter to Oleg Dobrodeev. He might not have difficulty at all: for him everything would have done a lawyer not prone to the sentiments. On your TV channel, Mr. General Director, the copyrights of my client are roughly violated, which was expressed in the reductions that distorted the plot of the film, who were disagreed with the director, please apologize and pay a fine. Such a dry text, but very effective, especially when announced in court. Lawyers know their job.

We have a different way, and the director who shot the “penal battalion” and a number of other very good films do not want to be known as a bitch. It’s just that he was shaken by the film, and now he shares his pain with the public and with the "respected Oleg Borisovich." He pours out the soul. Like, how is it that you cut it on the living, “all cases of disrespectful attitude to the authors of the film cannot be listed,” and the next time “no justified, illegal censorship” will also get to the bottom of smoking with alcohol.

Moreover, everyone, starting from the author and addressee of the letter, understands everything. The "penal battalion" was combed and conquered in full accordance with the latest trends in lawmaking. Although, it seems, not everyone has realized the scale of trouble. Since the president signed in April a law punishing for the use of a mat in the media, with the so -called truth about the war (and in peaceful life) is more or less finished. And one could be affected by the civil courage of the general director of VGTRK Dobroduev O.B., if the film was shot back in 2004, during the lexical thaw and return to the Leninist norms, the series was not disfigured in a good, so to speak, meanings. However, civil courage has long been no longer a distinctive feature of the general director, and now the heroes of the “penal battalion” forget at once all the main Russian words. Even such as "bitch" and "Suchara", which seemed to be never considered obscene. On the other hand, how could it be not to be safe if the legal entity can be fined 200,000 rubles for this trench truth, and those whom these measures will not be enlightened will simply be deprived of the license and close.

And the main trouble here is not even in censorship. Like many laws of the current era, the latest norm is not introduced to improve customs in the Fatherland, but in order to scare and limit freedom. Poets, writers, scriptwriters - they are people who are most engaged in the search for the most accurate word, and if the truth of character in specific circumstances does not allow any other vocabulary except for the obscene, then how without it? And so.

Meanwhile, the direct quoting of our classics - from Barkov and Pushkin to Erofeev and Sorokin - becomes impossible in the press. This is now vigilantly monitored by specially trained people who supply us with news like this or that . You just imagine the noble, selfless work of these civil servants. As they come to work at 9 in the morning, all in the correct costumes and dresses of dim colors. How they sit at their tables, include computers, go to the network. They drive a word of three letters into the search engine, and then numerous derivatives from it. A word of five letters, and one -rooted to it. How to discover, passing about four thousand publications and forums, words of three and five letters, as well as from four and six, and eight, and twelve, and some readers who are not consistent, for example, with the author, are able to generate multi -story phrases, with a powerful foundation, carved windows and a vaulted roof, and all this is thoroughly discharged, stored in the file, moved to the file, moved to the file, moved to the file, moved to the file. some department of the penultimate warnings and from there is sent to the editorial offices ...

A terrible, but in some way an inspiring picture. Forcing us to be proud of our contemporaries - ordinary officials of the federal service. As well as an era. True, People's Artist Nikolai Dostal - he experiences completely different feelings. So, from his interlocutor and all readers of the open letter, the director does not hide "a feeling of bitterness and shame for such a rough, petty and dedicated censorship on your channel." Probably, the majority of the audience of the new version of the "penalty area" is in solidarity with him. However, this is from the habit, since the new law is still running in the compatriots of the legendary deputy of the Zheleznyak, the initiator of the specified legal norm. Among his first victims, the fighters of the penalty battalion, people are severe and even even more laconic than the director suggested. Well, they, as expected, took the first blow to themselves, the rest will be easier.
