Last week, an amazing manner was amazingly and received a general denominator of the event, which, it would seem, did not have a single point of contact: the capture of the Russian businessman as a hostage and the results of the second round of the Russia -10 contest, the election campaign in Moscow and the threat of American bomb shots on Syria, Volodinsky gatherings with political assels and floods in the Far East. countries.
Some of these events are in its pure form “Dreams of Media”, that is, they have no real basis, created in the heads of producers and directors, and then launched into a virtual space, but entail quite tangible material consequences. Others are growing from life, but, having passed through the space of “media sleep”, they come out of it enchanted and having the opposite meaning.
In the war, symbols are played for a decrease
The main state television channel "Russia-1" and the Russian Geographical Society summed up the results of the second round of the Russia-10 contest. Here's what they did:
The total number of votes set during SMS voting is 145.977.634. The population of Russia in 2013 is 143.347.059 people, including infants and blindly deep disabled people. That is, no one particularly hid that this is a contest of money and administrative resources that the head of a region would want to spend on mobilization of people who are able to gather in groups and publicly send these countless SMS under the television cameras.
The declared goal of the project was the formation of geopatriotism. So far, two results have been obtained, one of which is related to geographical patriotism, the other to historical. Ramzan Kadyrov said that at the “heart of Chechnya” they stole a victory and declared war “Megafon” and “Beeline”. Chechen citizens, not without pleasure, defeated the offices of these operators, which for some reason did not show federal channels, and Kadyrov announced that Chechnya would now use only Vaine-Telecom. This is an attack of national geographical patriotism. The situation is somewhat worse with the historical, since not one of the ten “symbols of Russia” is such in the mass consciousness, with the exception of, perhaps, Baikal (8th place) and the Trinity-Sergius Lavra (5th place). This is the result of many years of state intervention in the historical consciousness of the people, attempts to form a single textbook of history, the efforts of the numerous Medina transformations of Russia into a country with an unpredictable past.
There are quite a lot of stupid contests in the world, funny and not very. In France, during the "pork" festival, they compete in eating sausages. In the American city of Georgia, a competition of throws of covers from the toilets is held. In Finland, husbands with wives on their shoulders are popular. At the same time, since the prize is beer, equal to the weight of the wife, the choice of the most weighty wives is stimulated.
A competition called "Russia-10" for the collective speedy departure of SMS is undoubtedly located among the above stupid competitions. But there are two differences. Nowhere in the world stupid contests are held with such pathos. And nowhere in their organizations the highest state and status public structures take part in their organizations. Let me remind you that the organizers of Russia-10 were the main state television channel of the country and the Russian Geographical Society, headed by the Minister of Defense Shoigu, and Putin heads the Board of Trustees.
Like all the projects of our Gosts, Russia-10 is the result of unsuccessful write-off from foreign television. In this case, the object of imitation was the project “New Seven Wonders of the World”, implemented in 2007 by Swiss director Bernard Werber. The performer was the non -profit organization of NOWC. UNESCO refused to participate in the project. A little less than 1 million people took part in the global Internet voting (145 times less than ours).
The seven of the “New Miracles of the World” composed: Roman Colissee, the Great Chinese Wall, Machu Picchu (lost the city of Inca in Peru), Peter-the capital of the ancient Idumey in Jordan, the Indian mosque Taj Mahal, the statue of Christ-Skipper in Rio, Chichens-Icea (Mayan culture monument in Mexico) and Pyramids in the Pyramids of Gizi in Egypt. Among the losers: a statue of freedom, Eiffel Tower, Moscow Kremlin, Athenian Acropolis, British Stoneenge and the statues of Easter Island.
Has anyone heard about the protests of the heads of the United States, France, Greece, Great Britain or Chile (the country of registration of the island of Easter) for improper refereeing in the project? Even the Moscow Kremlin was not offended, there was enough sense of humor and proportionality.
There are games that work to increase, but there are those in which they play for a decrease. Decrease in mind, complexity, kindness, sympathy. The “raising” games include, for example, chess. It is no coincidence that the Russian Orthodox Church through the lips of Deacon Andrei Kuraev once again opposed this game, recalling that this “vile game” was prohibited by the church. The “raising” games in the broad sense of the word include competition in the field of science and technology. With economic competition, it is more difficult, there are oncoming “increasing” and “lowering” flows, as in a multi -lifetime cable, but a total vector to increase.
An example of a “decrease” game is a competition when two cars rush towards each other and the one who does not turn off. The winner is a scumbag that unscrews the steering wheel and defiantly throws it out the window. In interstate "Games", such a tactics for a decrease is quite successfully used, for example, North Korea. Putin invariably wins in the frontal “unlimited” games with the West. When Lukashenko plays by the same rules, or rather, without rules with Putin, our macho has nothing to answer. Since the dad is a much larger lawmaker, he has long unscrewed his steering wheel and threw it out the window, now rushes on his Mazov dump truck, without taking the roads, and grief of the random passerby who, by negligence, will be in his way. This time, the top manager of Uralkalia Baumertner, who naively came to the clutches of the Older at the invitation of the Belarusian Prime Minister, was unlucky. And immediately it turned out that Putin did not have methods against Lukashenko. What can he? Onishchenko to let down? Well, let go, so what? In the games for lowering against the Old Man, the deceased cannibal Bokassa had good chances, it was a pity that he died, and from the now living, perhaps Kim Jong -un, who recently shot his mistress.
When ideas and meanings compete, this is a game of raising. The ascent of Western civilization is a product of such competition, including in the religious sphere. Three religious ideas: the idea of Judaism (a monotheism and moral canon at the heart of faith), the ideas of early Christianity (merciful-morality and compassion-excretion) and the idea of Protestantism (success as a recognition of God) became the steps of the “increase” of the West. When the competition of ideas and meanings is replaced by a war of symbols, the game goes to a decrease. Examples of such a “lowering” war for symbols are not only the crusades for the liberation of the Holy Sepulcher, which led to the meaningless death of many people and the spread of cruelty, xenophobia and obscurantist superstitions in Europe. Modern “Crusades” for democracy that the US administration is trying to conduct are also an example of the idiocy of the war of symbols, since freedom and democracy do not fly along with tomahawki and, having bombed the symbol of tyranny-Assad-you receive al-Qaida, not freedom.
Putin as a hybrid of grandfather Mazai and Batman. Ministerial Baland.
If you look at Russia through the eyes of federal television channels, then you see a country that is inhabited by helpless idiots, controlled by brainless thieving officials. There is only one person endowed with brain, heart and muscles.
Flooding in the Far East. People, deprived of housing, settled in some temporary buildings, and some kind of food stands out for them. Buildings are most likely so -so as food. What they really are, they don’t tell us, it doesn’t matter to the television men. But what a television book!
Putin: “So, Topilin, listen to me! Who are you with us? Minister Social? So, Minister Topilin, quickly there, and so that people have normal food! Balanda is fed! Do I need to put someone on Baland?! " Remember the symbol of the previous reign, the last fountain pen, which the ruthless Putin took from the unfortunate poor deeripaska? Balanda for the minister from the same symbolic series.
Another picture: Putin holds a “meeting” with the heads of local municipalities. Announces a million rubles for the construction of each house, in return for destroyed by floods. “What did you think? I have to listen to me! ” - it is he is the head of the municipality, which, according to the Constitution, is not his subordinate at all. “I think how much a meter is it,” the head honestly answers. “Then you calculate, the accountant,” - without any brudershaft passes to “you” Putin.
Flows, earthquakes, tsunami are everywhere, in many countries with a younger earthly surface they are more often and destructive. An earthquake and tsunami in Japan in 2012 claimed the lives of more than 15 thousand people. In the United States, such tragedies near the west coast are a tradition. Nowhere, a spontaneous disaster turns into a PR of the head of state. The heroes of the Japanese tragedy were people who help each other and self -organize in the face of a common misfortune. The Americans also opposite their disasters. The media both in Japan and in the USA show them as the main subjects of overcoming trouble. Only in Russia the misfortunes of people are a background for a media picture, in which the only owner of television of all Rus' poses.
“Hello,” Volodin lied. “We are glad to see you,” political scientists lied in response
Navalny promised his head, like a taran, to destroy the system of corruption and authoritarian power. Until he destroyed, but the ceiling of the rating allotted to him by the Kremlin sociologists, he had already struck his head with his head. In the previous Media Frine - 11 I wrote about this: how the Oslon measured the ongoing rating of 6% and strictly forbade this rating to grow at times. Now the Levada Center counted 18%to Navalny, Komkon-20%and even VTsIOM gives it a forecast in the interval of 15-20%. Ay, outslines! Alexander Anatolyevich, can you hear? Why are these ratings do not obey at all? After all, if you divide 18 by 6, there will be 3, is it? These are exactly those 3 times in which the Navalny rating has grown. And you said that at times they do not grow. How is it, Alexander Anatolyevich?! Maybe you should change your specialty? With the preservation of the status of the guru. For example, there is a specialty of a political strategist, they say, very profitable. They sometimes under the guise of political scientists are invited by the heads of the Kremlin administration to gatherings, after which the media are reported with a very important look about the secret decisions made in relation to the inhabitants of Russia.
For example, the last gatherings of political scientists from Volodin were marked by the news of a revolutionary turn in the domestic policy of Russia. The Kremlin decided to introduce competition and cultivate it in every way. Churov will be banned not to let the opposition to the elections, they will cancel the stop lists and in general everything will be, well, if not as in Europe and America, then as a grandfather, in the dashing nineties. And political scientists suffered the good news of “Izvestia”, RIA “news”, “views” and other “rains”, explaining that it was the Kremlin who decided to “not break the opposition through the knee” (quote from Volodin in the retelling of political scientists), not to falsify the elections, etc.
That is, people testify to the commission of a crime that is described in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in Article 278: "Forcibly seizure or violent retention of state power." From 12 to 20 years. How else can one characterize the "breaking of the opposition through the knee", the public recognition of which Volodin publicly testifies to political scientists?
However, the trial of Volodin is clearly postponed, since no turn in domestic politics has occurred and is not expected. Candidates from the opposition are still withdrawn in packs from the elections (extermination of the list from the most powerful candidates of the Civil Platform in Yaroslavl, inaccessible to the elections of the RPR-Parnas list in Khakassia, withdrawing from the Yablonny candidate to the mayors of Vladivostok, etc.). Oppositionists are still not on the air of federal television channels, but they are diluted there diligently. Last week, the 5th channel and TVC were distinguished.
Obviously, from the point of view of the authorities, the victory of Navalny in Moscow is excluded, and it will not be allowed by any means. But with the victory of Roizman in Yekaterinburg, it seems, reluctantly, through the lip, but they can come to terms. The mayor without authority, clamped between the regional authorities and the security forces sent from Moscow, is doomed to a leisurely, but inevitable edification in the bureaucratic picture of the world. But it would be better, of course, to prevent. Therefore, on August 26, on the 5th channel, the Karaul “moment of truth” is released, almost entirely aimed at the destruction of Roizman. The main accusation-the connection of Roizman with the Georgian thieves in law-is proved by the numerous personnel of the detention of some brunettes, showing unknown to anyone belonging to cold weapons, as well as a slurred record of an anonymous telephone conversation, in which one unknown says to another: "He is our man, we will support him and share the city." Karaulov’s reputation makes the most likely version that this text was recorded in the Karaul Studio immediately before filming this program. At the same time, at the beginning of the transfer, a certain police officer calls Roizman the militant of the Uralmash group, and a few minutes later the protege of Georgian thieves in law. Since the two above organizations of the criminal world of the Urals are almost irreconcilable, either the Roizman is a superyman who needs to give master classes to the best spies of the world, or, or rather, Karaulov should teach a materiel before releasing his fakes on the air.
At the very beginning of the election campaign, the director of the TVC Julia Bystritskaya refused the candidates to conduct the debate live, saying that the channel “has neither the strength nor funds for the debate. Even if the candidates pay the debate, it will still be almost impossible. ” The end of the quote. However, apparently, in a month Bystritskaya gained strength and accumulated funds, since it was announced that on August 29, a live broadcast with the candidate for mayor Sergei Sobyanin would take place. What exactly do those “forces and means” look like, which are available for the organization of broadcasts with Sobyanin, as well as for numerous current shows and which are fatally lacking for the debate, I can’t imagine, there is not enough imagination. Moreover, we did not see the live broadcast with Sobyanin, since the acting mayor realized that it was better for him to representatively loom in the news than to speak.
These, which are excusable for the official and the difficulty of speeching for the public policy, at Sobyanin, were clearly discovered during a long broadcast on Autoradio, which removed the paid advertising of Navalny, but revealed the embrace of Sobyanin. Despite the field assistance of the presenters, the gift of articulate speech at Sobyanin did not open. But he sang. It looked like this. “Choosing the mayor?” Sobyanin asks menacingly. “Yes, yes, yes!” The singers rejoice. For some reason, Sobyanin’s answer does not suit at all, and he simply openly intimidates the singers: “We’ll sit out at home?” (Intonation is such that it becomes clear: it will not work at home). And the singers scared the obvious: "No, no, no!"
Of the more than two dozen federal and metropolitan television channels and from about the same number of radio stations, one “rain” and one “echo of Moscow” were found, which together performed the lighting function, of course, the main domestic political event of this year in Russia - the elections of the capital mayor. Two electronic media out of hundreds of those who should fight for the debate and live broadcasts with candidates. Two percent of journalism in the Russian media, is that enough? For example, such a concentration of boric acid is enough to perform antiseptic and anti -industrial procedures. Is it enough to help the country's recovery? There are doubts.
