The geographer, allegedly drinking the globe, gained universal sympathy, because he was a good, harmless person. About the creative team of historians, led by Speaker Sergei Naryshkin (curator) and academician Alexander Chubaryan (commissar) this cannot be said. With great hunting, they took up the next rewriting of the story either under the comb, or under the box by the pattern of the current Chekist guarantor of twisting, screwing and strangling. And people around the future "myths and legends of Putin's Russia" gathered solid and nonsense. They simply intend to eat Russian history for another time, as countless authors of the history of the CPSU, political economy of socialism and textbooks on scientific atheism and no less scientific communism did before them. Question menu, Nyam-yum. And "Mercedes" with "Audi" is now also expensive. Not to mention elite housing. So history is perceived as a pot of porridge. Many people want to scoop up.
But this is the usual business in our area, where the chiefs order history. As in a restaurant fried or with blood. Another thing is interesting: the porridge that filled the stuffed heads of customers, right along Saltykov-Shchedrin.
If the textbook were ordered by the monarchists, everything would be unambiguous: the great acts of the monarchs of all styles, the disapproval of February, horror and disgust from the October Revolution, and then you can according to Solzhenitsyn. Some sorrow from the loss of colonies during the collapse of the USSR, but certainly no enthusiasm for the Soviet anthem, Lenin in the Mausoleum and on the squares, red flags and red stars.
But our sovereigns did not grow in the palaces, but in communal services and lead their family not from counts and princes, but from cooks and lackeys. However, the nobility of the Mikhalkov family did not cure them from lackey - both in the Gimnyuk generation and in his descendants, our contemporaries.
In the heads of the heads of Russia today, the telluries of Sorokin are clearly sticking out, and the party Soviet hierarchy is interfered with monarchical tenacies. They were and remain scoops, so their story will sing not only Nicholas I and Alexander III, but also Lenin, Stalin, Brezhnev, Andropov and Putin.
The authors promise to press patriotic pedals about mass heroism in 1812 and in the Second World War. I wonder - where is more? And so kvass and vodka patriotism on this subject in the textbooks was at least pour. But will it be said that as a result of the victory over Napoleon formed the reactionary sacred union, Alexander I instead of the reformer Mikhail Speransky brought back the backward Arakcheev and forgot about all sorts of reforms there, so Pushkin called him a “nomadic despot”?
The results of the second "Victory" were still cleaner. Will the historical team forget about how our prisoners of war were transported from the Nazi concentration camps to Kolyma? (Read the front -line soldier and Prisoner of Mauthausen Yuri Pilyar - "People remain people.") And about the atrocities and violence of the Soviet troops over the peaceful German population in 1945, are our historians to mention? Read Leo Kopelev, Major from the political department, the hero of the war, who received a term for "sympathy for the enemy."
They even scare the "personalities" of the upcoming textbook. Aslan Maskhadov will be, but as whom? A terrorist or legal president of Ichkeria, a decent person with whom Boris Yeltsin negotiated in the Kremlin and also concluded the world (independence de facto)?
And where did Johar Dudaev go from the list, the first president and hero of Chechnya, a Westernist, a supporter of the European development of the Caucasus, a friend of Russian democrats?
I immediately understood where the wind was blowing in this textbook when the authors started talking about the rehabilitation of Autocrat Paul I. Wild militarism, terror, adventures such as going to India ... I had to try very much to get to the engineering castle. Paul was killed, not hoping to survive with him, and his own son did not interfere with the killers, because he was already promised the fate of the son of John the Terrible Ivan ... Of course, Paul I is quite in the taste of Putin and Zhirinovsky.
The authors have many difficulties. How do you lie in the presence of the Internet, Klyuchevsky, Karamzin, Solzhenitsyn and great Russian literature, which more than once stigmatized our shameful story? Pushkin, Lermontov, Alexei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Alexey Nikolaevich Tolstoy, Dmitry Balashov with the Bremmer of Power and the Great Table, Vasily Grossman, Andrei Platonov and Sluzubin, Yuri Trifonov, Vladimir Tendryakov ... You can’t declare all the pedophiles as the Stavropol Prosecutors tried to declare Nabokov.
I quite understand what binding our unified falsifiers fall into. They have twenty difficulties, and they have not been listed yet. Academician Chubaryan is trying to keep his face - so he earnestly justifies and proves that he is not a Stalinist, that even Stalin rarely mentions the name. Only immediately the statements of schoolchildren who do not know anything about Lenin’s crimes or that Stalin was a villain, nor about the death of millions of innocent people in the Gulag are given. And how can you explain why the villains lie in the mausoleum and near the Kremlin wall, why their name is the name of Russia, why the Leninist idols are not demolished.
Say, paragraph 13. "Assessment of the foreign policy of the USSR on the eve and at the beginning of the Second World War." You will be honestly about the Molotov-Ribbentrop, about the joint parades of the Nazi and Red Army, about the occupation (and not the “absorption”, like the Chubaryan) of the Baltic countries, part of Poland, today's Moldova-and from the member of the anti-Hitler coalition of the USSR turns into an accomplice of the Nazis, into an aggressor and an equivalent to untie this war of this very war.
When this textbook rises, we will get a generation of mankurts. It remains for us to either evacuate all the children from Russia and give them an education in the West, or develop, write an honest Samizdat history textbook, find sponsors for his independent publication and provide them with the help of volunteers of each historian and each student. And on a fake textbook, let the Putin junta teach his children and grandchildren.
