Patriotic product
On June 9, the Ministry of Culture demanded to cancel the show of two performances at the Moscow International Open Book Festival (MMOKF). 
In one performance, officials saw “Signs of Propaganda of Homosexualism”, the other is prohibited due to the use of non-normative vocabulary. After that, several publishers and writers refused to participate in the event. The situation has finally cleared up: Russian art intends to lead with terrible force.
At the festival, a pre -premiere show of the performance on my novel “Theatrical History” and the presentation of the novel was to be held. I refused to participate. I propose to imagine what will happen to our art in that bright future, where all the directives of the Ministry of Culture are performed, and the artists are extremely moral and unshakable traditional. Subsequent sketches can also be considered as an application to the Ministry of Culture to create a “patriotic product” in the field of cinema, opera and drama theater:
“The film takes place in hell, symbolizing Russia until 2000. From everywhere - rattle of tooth. This is done by lawlessness tooth doctors: the beggarly salary brought them to the complete loss of compassion and final oblivion of medical ethics. In the same embittered-depressive state are teachers, police and academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences. But here he is. Everything is illuminated by light, pigeons fly in an inconceivable amount from heaven, dentists are boring their ominous instruments into the yoke, police officers recall that they have a conscience and they are actually police officers, teachers begin to teach uninterruptedly, and scientists start countless ships into space. Cosmonauts immediately, at the cosmodrome, give orders “For Merit to the Fatherland” I degree. Everyone rejoice and sing Hallelujah. And they sign a collective letter - to the Lord God, so that He does not change anything in their happy life. "
The situation has finally cleared up: Russian art intends to lead with terrible force
“But the opera about the love of Russia and the Crimea. The conditional name is“ you are again my. ”The performance begins with Ariya Viktor Yanukovych about love and betrayal (love for the Russian government and betrayal of the Ukrainian people). The text is approximately this:“ I loved you, and you drove me ... I could have all you, and now in the longing for me, about how they could, about how they could, about how they could. A proud but poorly dressed man appears on the stage - he symbolizes the Crimea. A symbolizing meteorite.
In the theater, they will only put the classics. But innovation will also allow: for example, the action of Romeo and Juliet will take place in Poland, which, as it turns out, has long dreamed of returning to the boundaries of the Russian Empire. But he is afraid to admit this because of fear of the totalitarian-tolerant West.
“Two equally respected families in Warsaw, where events meet us ...” The love between Pole Juliet and the Russian guy Romeo flashes suddenly and forever. The death of lovers is not expected. On the contrary, everyone is dying except them. Namely, Mercutio, a pro-American liberal-homosexual, and a Jew playing Tibalt: for trying to swear from the stage. And Romeo and Juliet, married, sing about the unity of the Slavic peoples. And they sign a letter on behalf of all lovers that they will actively engage in promotion of heterosexual love. The curtain closes, the performance ends, but the happiness of the people is endlessly. ”
