This is first of all sorry

The Novgorod region, the famous meat boron, the journalist Konstantin Semin wanders around the forest and sternly says that “historians-marineers and journalists sympathetic,” who, you see, claimed that someone had betrayed the second shock army, but no one betrayed it, “supplied it with anything, and it would end the war in Berlin”, and looks triumphantly in Berlin. The camera, now, it seems, will still get drunk and say: "That's it!"

This is the most human piercing episode of the film “Biochemistry of betrayal ” , and Konstantin Semin and I both know which “journalist-marineer” he talks about. “Vlasov’s devoted army” - that was the name of Alexei Pivovarov’s sensational film about the second shock, you also probably remember him, there, in the artistic inserts, the role of the damned commander was played by blogger Rustem Adagamov. For three years, the film of Pivovarova remained unanswered, but Semin will come, the order will restore. For three years he wore a desire to answer the senior colleague, and now the desire was realized in the prime time of the state television channel. Semin, it turns out, won.

He won, and the defeated Pivovarov will come to his work in the top manager cabinet of a commercially successful STS channel, hold a meeting on some incredible new media and transmedia, then approve the script of a new, obviously topopular sitcom, then something else, and in the evening, as if in his free time, sits down with Kostomarov and Disnoguev to watch The draft version of the full -length “deadline” , which is a direct road to the “Sandens” and which will remain a cult film document about late Putinism, even when there will be no Putin.

Konstantin Semin and I both know which "journalist-marineer" he is talking about.

And the winner of Semin in an empty studio in the Yamsky field will sit down to drink vodka with mamontov, both will quickly get drunk, and one will yell into the darkness: “Vlasovites, I hate”, and the other will wheeze: “blasphemy”, then they will hug and, perhaps, they will even kiss.

A comparison of the “biochemistry of betrayal” with Soviet propaganda is, of course, on the surface, but after the prescription of years some important nuances, unfortunately, were erased. Yes, of course, this is Soviet propaganda, but not the one that was printed in Pravda in the first lane, and not the one that later turned into lines of resolutions of party congresses. No, there was also propaganda of category “B”, some hellish brochures of the historian V. Begun about Zionism as the heir to German fascism, which were published in the provincial Minsk, and then the tired ideological chief from Moscow called “Well, guys, e-mine”. The film Semina inherits exactly the one parallel to the mainstream, Soviet propaganda, not “Pravda”, but in the best case, the magazine “Young Guard”, which, in general, only for that, it existed that some reader or even the author of the New World, having read the next newlywordal article, is horrified and called his good acquaintance Anna Samoilovna Berser-“You imagine that you are again, these are the hidden again Creating? "

In the “Young Guard”, Ivan Shevtsov published another romance, in the main negative hero of which it was easy to guess Andrei Voznesensky, and everyone, of course, was indignant, and Shevtsov was traveling to his six acres near Zagorsky, drank vodka there with Antihmit Semanov, and Voznesensky received a state prize and then drove to Paris to write a poem “Lonzhumu”. Who is the triumphant state propagandist, and who is the unfortunate victim of persecution? An interesting question, agree.

The film "Biochemistry of betrayal" is primarily a pity. In the role of the main expert, a dumb retired cop, who once became famous for parody translations of foreign films, and now in demand as a thinker in cases where other thinkers disdain. “Another degenerate,” says the cop, and he wants to answer: “Thank you, very nice to meet you,” although he still won’t understand. It seems to him that now he is not just a retired cop, but a person who does an important state business. And Konstantin Semin also seems to be cooler than Pivovarov, because he can afford to sort things out with Pivovarov on the air of the federal channel. Naive Semin - this power cannot do without Pivovarov, and will never do , and the young villains who are ready to make a movie on a given topic, on federal channels without an account, are worth nothing. And, by the way, Semin himself, most likely, is a vaguely guessing about something.

Who is the triumphant state propagandist, and who is the unfortunate victim of persecution?

Finishing the film, he lists positive heroes-those who need to be guided in life-and the last calls the captain of Lieutenant Kolesnikov from the Kursk submarine. For thirteen years, the circumstances were also forgotten, so it is worth recalling: discovered in October 2000, two months after the death of the boat, Kolesnikov’s note denied the official version, according to which all Kursk sailors died in the first minutes after the explosion. Putin’s presidency really began precisely with the death of Kursk, which showed how the Russian state and his president are actually related to his soldiers.

And now, it seems, the soldier Semin feels and understands something like that. In this sense, the “biochemistry of betrayal” is a completely tragic movie.
