Dry Wedder

Stalingrad? Not a question. As we wish, we will do it. That is, “as the inhabitants will say, we will do it,” Putin promises , and even some surprise is heard in his words addressed to veterans. This is the internal business of Volgograd residents, he has nothing to do with it. So residents will gather and “in accordance with our law” will be set by the date of the referendum, vote and decide who they are actually. Volgograd residents, Stalingraders, or maybe the Tsaritsyns.

And you probably thought that Stalin is a big politics and Vladimir Vladimirovich, weighing all the pros and cons on pharmaceutical scales, personally sorting through weights and makes the final verdict? No. Stalin is democracy. Stalin is self -government. Stalin is our glory fighting. Stalin is a flight of our youth!

By the way, so it happened before, under Gutalin, which is reminded of Archpriest Chaplin. Actually, if about. Vsevolod took part in the plebiscite, then he would vote for Tsaritsyn. But this is his personal opinion, which he, a clear democrat by nature, does not want to impose anyone. Moreover, their co -religionists, "clergymen, monks and active laity", among whom there are many dialectically thinking Orthodox. That is, those "who sees the positive points in the activities of Stalin."

And then the head of the synodal department on the relationship between the Church and Society pronounces very important words. About Kobu and Democracy. “Let's not forget this,” he says, “that in the last years of his life, our patriarch and synod spoke with respect for him.” But they could speak differently, wasn't it? Without respect and even with barely hidden contempt. And even curse from the amvon could, like a lion of Tolstoy. Yes, easily. That's what freedom was. Although, of course, the current one cannot be compared.

If we speak seriously, in a series of dull news from France, describing the misadventures of our guarantor, this staging scene with veterans was the only bright one. So it was more and more talked about who immediately greeted him by the hand, and who did not immediately, as they planted Putin, so as not to put it with anyone, but as those historical 15 minutes, which he spent separately with Obama and Poroshenko, detected it. The situation was really paradoxical: the Western leaders celebrated the anniversary of the allies in Normandy in the same company with a person against whom they were forced to unite this spring. And this inspired too gloomy historical associations, here are many geopolitical partners and shied away from him as from the conceived.

However, it was necessary to enter into a dialogue when it was still necessary, and Frau Chancerers, along with the hospitable Hollande, tried to understand everything during quite long conversations, he lost his connection with reality or did not lose. It was not easy to comprehend this, and he himself, repeating his endless mantras about the need for dialogue with the separatists, looked somehow tired and even partially embarrassed. Still, public loneliness is a difficult thing, this is politics, not the theater. Moreover, public humiliation.

Against this background, a conversation about the glorious Volgograd residents, who, in the framework of the democratic procedure, will choose the fun name of Stalin, was for him at least some outlet. He was habitually lying. He habitually showed his teeth. He also took revenge for all the moral defeats of the last weeks. Like, you are there in your newspapers and lips of various badly educated princes, compare the devil knows with whom, and I have a different genealogy. And if it comes to the next sanctions, then you will have a new defeat near Stalingrad. For your second front, as every schoolboy knows us, you opened late, and the memory of the war is sacred, as well as the democratic choice of the inhabitants of Volgograd.

What he did not think about at first, a graduate of the legal faculty, going towards the wishes of veterans, is about the creation of a dangerous precedent. It turns out that any group of citizens, gathered at their entrance and quitting a cry throughout the city, can rename their settlements who are in what is the way. After all, after all, Kaliningrad, Kant’s homeland, can return the former royal name, and to move to Prussia. Is the joke - the voice of the people, and the Crimean precedent is again. Of course, today, while the fate of democracy in the center and in the field is decided by Vladimir Vladimirovich, everything is under control, and what will happen tomorrow, after us? Flood or what?

Because it rarely happens to him, Putin did not take a move back, but distance himself from himself. With the help of Peskov, a person in his own genius, who came up with a wonderful trick. In accuracy, by retelling the words of the president, the spokeswoman added that he "did not make statements about the need to rename Volgograd to Stalingrad." What no one accused him of. The sensation was Putin’s call to Volgograd residents to solve the problem, asking anyone about anything, and the Kremlin’s readiness to dutifully accept this choice. A fried fact that overshadowed all the other news from Normandy and from Russia. The event that made the whole world crawl, and the grateful stone stem of the Stalinist right hand was probably some concern for Vladimir Vladimirovich himself. Therefore, through Peskov, he once again informed Volgograd residents that they are free to gather and rename the city. And they can reject the specified venture, and the local authorities, if anything, tells them this thought. The people are in their right, but how.

A referendum is generally a word, though fashionable, but dangerous. Little to us Lenin, who lies in the mausoleum and strongly, they say, affects Russian karma, so now Stalingrad. After all, there is no doubt that the electorate, which, with the exception of 10% of the national traitors, will now vote Putin, will vote as he will say. It will hint that he changed his mind - and the citizens will also change his mind. Say "Tsaritsyn", and there will be Tsaritsyn. And if it leans to the idea that it is time to punish Merkel for sorrowful views and cold handshakes in France, then, then, a city will appear on the map of Russia, bearing the name of the man whom he once compared with Tamerlane . By the way, also a good name for the city, along with Batu, Tokhtamysh, Napoleon ... Who else have we forgotten? However, Stalin is out of competition, by the number of killed compatriots, Russian and non -Russian. How not to perpetuate.
