On September 30, academicians-historians, having discussed "controversial moments of our common past", announced innovations in the concept of a unified history textbook
Almost simultaneously, ideas were voiced from different stands that changed the view of the past tense. For example, the politically correct opinion was established that there was no Tatar-Mongolian yoke, but there was a feudally established symbiosis of the Horde and Russian principalities, which had a beneficial effect on the formation of the tsarist "United Russia". From now on, it is proposed to call it "the system of dependence of Russian lands on the Horde khans." No conquest, just the arrival of an "effective manager". And the fact that, for example, Ryazan, Kozelsk, Kiev burned down, while Rus' was hopelessly stuck, stopped in development, is the cost inherent in the low domestic level of production and management. Well, for centuries they sent yasak to another country - so even now our stolen taxes are deposited in offshores.
At the same time, it was revealed that such recent events as Nord-Ost and Beslan had disappeared from the concept of the textbook. Those who ten years ago could already make out the words can still remember these “successes” in the fight against terrorism, but if you do not remind in textbooks and from the TV screen about the unpleasant tragedies that occurred through its fault, then adults will forget about hundreds of innocent victims . And future generations will never know.
Simultaneously with the discussion of the concept, it became clear that a state grant was being allocated for the creation of "spiritual bonds" of Russian society. Sociologists are already ready to master it. But a real, primordial statesman needs neither grants nor sociology, he finds bonds, rummaging through the old petrified. Vasily Boyko-Veliky, head of the social movement "Holy Rus'", demanded that the daub of a certain Repin be removed from the Tretyakov Gallery, defiling the bright image of Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich, the great martyr and saint (in Batyev's simplicity), the creator of "United Russia" of the XYI century. Because the picture slanders: Ivan Vasilyevich did not kill Ivan Ivanovich! They quarreled - there was, it seems, Gogol wrote about this, but in order to kill with his own staff ...
“The false rumor was deliberately launched by the enemies in order to slander the pious Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich the Terrible,” a group of comrades write to the Minister of Culture and the director of the Tretyakov Gallery. - This slander, like the very poisoning of the Heir to the Throne by the enemies of Russia, aimed to break the will of the Tsar, the will of the Russian people in the hardest war with Poland, Lithuania, Sweden. In 1581, almost all the countries of Northern and Central Europe ... waged a fierce war to destroy the Holy Russian Kingdom.
As always, those who want to retroactively restore peace and quiet in the past offend those values that they care about protecting. A scientist from Tatarstan, who raised the topic of the rehabilitation of Genghis Khan and Batu, does not say that the first victim of the Horde was the Bulgar state with its capital in Kazan. And equates the Mongols who came in large numbers to the current Tatars, who have nothing to do with them.
The desire to cover up the terrible pages of the recent past is reminiscent of bags of explosives planted by Chekists "for training purposes" in the basements of a residential building, of the connection between the special services and Shamil Basayev with his Dagestan campaign. Provocations are just a mechanism to achieve a result. They played their role in “building the vertical”, you can not even remember them.
The lies of state propaganda are taking on historical proportions. It's a sin not to use it. Vasily Boyko-Veliky, known for his furious, up to the courts, denial of participation in financial and land scams, it was not by chance that he took up the glorification of Grozny. You see, the current tsar orders not to touch the little patriot.
