In society

And you, Homa, turned out to be Brutus ...

July 10, 2014 Alexander Osovtsov

Again we leave, comrade,

Again we lost the battle.

The bloody sun of shame

It comes behind us.

K. Simonov

This epigraph, in my opinion, is applicable to Russia as a whole in today's circumstances and to each group of some active Russians separately. Traditionally, such groups were allocated by three - power, the so -called "system opposition" and a radical opposition. As a result of aggression against Ukraine, the authorities managed to significantly expand its range so significantly that the system opposition is no longer able to record any difference from it. And to determine where the spring is and where only experts-political experts can only Mizulin. However, in a radical opposition to those who supported aggression against Ukraine, but at the same time I would like to differ from the “Crimean” and not to resemble “Porvuzaputin”, you must be at least Udaltsov and be under trial and house arrest. Those who did not support the authorities are actually deprived of the possibility of political action. Once on the crest of a patriotic wave, Putin and his close associates not only forgot to think about any “thaw”, but they “froze” all legal political processes that 2013 and the beginning of 2014, the elections of the Moscow mayors, Yekaterinburg and Novosibirsk are already remembered with the same nostalgia as the year 1990 or even the elections of the First State Duma in 1916.

However, it would be strange if Putin and his environment did something else in the circumstances. And the point is not even that the radical opposition, which most recently, seemed that at least in the capitals and large cities “caught the trend” and was about to achieve something, is in Tsugtswang. And not even that Putin’s ratings have almost doubled, and the sociological digir of his support is not much distinguishable from the similar data of Kadyrov in Chechnya. These numbers, which many experts question, in my opinion, are not at all important.

The relationship between Putin and Russians has changed qualitatively. Putin finally did something significant, and the most that the vast majority of Russian citizens really like it. Citizens now support Putin not only and not so much because they did not say anything about other presidential candidates on TV, or did not tell anything good as because it is their leader, the one who leads them to where they want to go.

He leads them simultaneously to Ukraine and to the USSR. To Ukraine - to restore the USSR, in the USSR - because they want there. I do not know what Bismarck had in mind when he pronounced (if he pronounced) his famous saying that Russia is an empire with Ukraine, but without Ukraine - no.

Perhaps it was about geopolitics, possibly self -awareness, possibly about everything together. But he turned out to be more right than I could have imagined. As is commonly believed, the Russian state arose in 882, when Oleg (prophetic) united Novgorod and Kyiv, and the Russian Empire began to form as a result of the Pereyaslavsky Rada. So now, an attempt to eliminate the consequences of the “largest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century” began with Ukraine. Not from Chechnya and not even from Georgia, but from Ukraine. After all, it was no accident that neither Abkhazia nor South Ossetia was formally annexed to Russia, and Crimea was annexed with an extraordinary hasty. The fact is that no one would have perceived the Anschlus of the Caucasian limitrophs as the collection of Russian lands. The Russian spring could not begin in the Caucasus. Most national-patriotic Russian people generally distinguish the Caucasians of the same nationality from Caucasians of a different nationality. Georgians, Abkhazians, Armenians, Ossetians, Azerbaijanis, Chechens, Ingush for them on one face. But Ukrainians - on one person with themselves, with the Russians.

And therefore, it is Ukrainians, and also Belarusians, of all the title nations of the former republics of the USSR - it is the fraternal people, and the desire of Ukrainians in the EU, that is, “west” is not a politician, but treason in the family, the transfer of his brother to the side of the Lyakhov, a sort of collective Andriy from Taras Bulba.

And therefore, the Russians who suffer from the syndrome, either from the older brother, consider themselves the right to point out the youngest to his sin and teach him what should only benefit him, and not listen - to kill him.

To designate the real enemy in Ukraine, Russian propaganda had to come up with special terms, because in the Russian language, even in street Argo, there is no aggressive-universal word denoting the “Ukrainian”. The “crest”, of course, sounds arrogantly and dismissively, but far from as angry and cryenophobic as “Jew”, “Khachik”, “Chock”, etc. Putin, calling Timchenko “Khokhl”, did not name the “Jews” Rotenbergs and could not name the Jews, as well as he could not call Usmanov “chock” and Gabrielyan - “khachik”. Therefore, for Ukraine they remembered the “Bandera” and found “fascists” there.

Creativity, frankly, is not the first freshness, especially with regard to the Nazis. In essence, Russian viewers were offered a goods of nearly a hundred years ago, worked out for the first time in the latest in 1920, when the Red Army began a war with some new, before anyone unknown people-the “Belopolyaks” (although, perhaps, this was not the first time, because back in 1914, Russian propaganda began to call the Germans “Teutons”). I was unknown, but a capable creative creative person managed to answer a whole series of questions with one word of “Belopolyaks” and explain that the Red Army is not at all fighting with the Polish people, who, of course, is waiting for him to bring him the long-awaited freedom from the oppression of the exploiters, namely with the landowners and capitalists, exactly with those who fought all over the whole Civilian.

Either the move seemed incredibly successful, or the author did not live until 1939, but almost 20 years after the end of the Civil War, the vile “Belyaks” continued the procession along the borders of the USSR and went from the north, becoming the “White Finns”. Of course, the “invincible and legendary” immediately rushed to free the classrooms, and the blood brothers, the benefit of the USSR, the Karelian-Finnish Union Republic was formed in time, the only reminder of the existence of which is today the sixteenth statue in the famous fountain at VDNH. Confidence in the liberation of the next fraternal people from oppression “White” was inspired with the help of a specially composed song: “So meet us, the handsome Suomi, open the gates as soon as possible.” Something went wrong with the gate ... I didn’t hurry to open them with Suomi, and the massive Helsinki bombing with numerous sacrifices among the civilian population somehow did not contribute to this. However, since few of the Finns knew the Russian words to the letter X, creating the first song answer to the Kremlin aggression, they composed quite a censorship hat “No Molotov”.

Of course, after the Great Patriotic War, the word “fascists” became a combat archetype for recognizing the enemy. The Nazis were wherever the leadership of the USSR did not like someone, from Yugoslavia to Chile, from Greece to Paraguay, from Portugal to Taiwan. “Nazis” - it meant “enemies”, “atu them!”. Many wrote that in post-Soviet Russia there was no unifying positive values ​​that the only one that is is the victory of 1945, and the only common holiday is May 9. Therefore, when the authorities gathered to fight, and it was clearly impossible to designate the enemies of the Ukrainians themselves, the old Zhupel was pulled out of Chulan and once again called citizens to fight the Nazis, adding a “junta” here, actually reproducing a height of 50 years ago, which the Soviet agitprom used in relation to Greece. It was possible Yugoslavskaya, 60 years ago, then there would be a “click”, although the difference is small. Well, and with the fascist junta, creating violence and killing our compatriots right on our borders - what should be done? It’s not clear? And this is not even xenophobia. You can hate Georgians, Jews, Estonians for the fact that they are different, but it is impossible to deny their existence. Designing Ukrainians as younger brothers, they are denied independent ethnicity and even more so - statehood. There is no such people - there cannot be such a state. We are not fighting with enemies, we are fighting with the traitors of our people. These do not have to be captured or judged - only destroy. And in this revived atmosphere of hatred, in the framework of a half-forgotten verbal and semantic context naturally, Crimean Tatars become again the “people-examination”, the rocket falls because at the factory to them. Khrunichev fell in pests, and household gas in Yekaterinburg explodes due to sabotage. There are already “national traitors”, there is already a “fifth column”, and you expect that citizens will begin to look around nervously in search of “enemies of the people”.

The worst thing is that the fact that most of the Russians did not heal the dose of severe and poorly combined with each other’s drugs, Bolshevism and chauvinism again injected with the imperial syndrome, which did not heal from the imperial syndrome and a large bouquet of other dependencies. The Crimean injection gave an unprecedented buzz of the patriotic fucker to many citizens and in the form of ratings - one. But this is a very expensive and giving rapid addiction tool. So far, drug addicts are not thinking about the fact that, in addition to the change of signs and colossal expenses, they received nothing from the annexation of Crimea. Rest in the Crimea? So the Russians had rested there before, only cheaper. Base for the fleet? So the fleet was based there before. Will Russian companies come there? So they were there before, and now, due to Sberbank’s sanctions, for example, on the contrary, it goes from there. We still do not know about the full price for this injection, but it is apparently so great that one of the most informed people, the Minister of Finance A. Siluanov was so confused that unexpectedly for himself and everyone told the truth about the fate of the pension accumulations of the patriots and nonpatriots of Russia.

But this is only the beginning. According to many, the buzz from the first injection in the fall will be replaced by a strong breakdown and the next dose will be required. Not in September, so in November and the rating will begin to approach last year. What then will be injected with a conditional Uralvagonzavod? How many Russians will survive the effect of Girkin with complications? Where will their new breakdown be driven by a new high? The blitzkrieg did not work out with Ukraine, they are trying very much to restore power structures, and the country, by the way, is large. Baltic states - in NATO, frightened Nazarbayev is clearly ready to fall into the Chinese hugs, even Lukashenko promises to pick up a gun. The price of the dose can be completely unbearable, and the injection itself - suicidal, those that drug addicts call "gold". But the drug addict is that he is a drug addict that he does not even think about the price of an injection ...

At the same time, in a situation of lack of money, the drug addict begins to hate all relatives, friends and neighbors even more, because they do not give money for a dose. But on the other hand, he is still a sweet merchant of poison, who is his only hope. And for all of Russia there is only one person who is able to offer millions of dependent on him and his dope. It is called the national dealer.

Here are just the times of L. Tolstoy and A. Conan Doyle, whose heroes calmly used strong drugs, have long passed. And if drug addicts cannot get rid of the dealer themselves, then the police come behind the dealer, and they begin to treat drug addicts. And they are treated until they cease to pose a danger to others. Moreover, a small, but very significant part of Russian patriots has long trusted only Western doctors. And the rest of the majority on your own or during outside help will still have to get rid of a bad veil in the eyes and see the sun of normal, not bloody color. Still, whatever one may say, not the 41st for a long time ...
