A method of complication

The explanation of Roskomnadzor about the inadmissibility of the publication of any cartoons on a religious topic , materials justifying such publications, and even links to them clearly showed on which Putin Russia in the global confrontation of freedom and violence, secular state, secular culture and clerical obscurantism. This was even brighter by the police detentions of single picketers with “I am also Charlie” and recognition guilty of a public event without filing a notification. With demonstrative ignoring the police and judges of the current legislation, still not requiring notifications of single pickets and their coordination.

Judges of the Tver District Court of Moscow Ales Orekhova and Denis Ivanov, who condemned for single pickets with posters JE Suis Charlie, Mark Galperin and Vladimir Ionov, are criminals guilty of making a deliberately unjust decision. And for this, sooner or later they will certainly appear before the court. But, besides this, they are also accomplices of terrorists from al-Qaida and thugs from ISIS. The reason for the best-bearing reprisal, committed by Ms. Orekhova and Mr. Ivanov over Mark Galperin and Vladimir Ionov, was the expression of solidarity with the victims of these terrorists and thugs. And the fact that the police did not interfere with the public action, directed against the victims of terror, which was held in the same days, once again embossed this fact. The entire so -called law enforcement system of Putin Russia works in a combination mode to terrorism.

I am against destroying the houses of relatives of Alesi Orekhova and Denis Ivanov. I am against this measure when Israel resorts to her. You can be against these specific actions of the state of Israel. But one cannot be on the side of those who seek to completely cancel the Israeli state and do not intend to abandon violence until this goal is achieved. The inability (or unwillingness) of the part of the “left intellectuals” draw a clear border between the protest against the specific injustice and the final cannibalic purposes of obscurantist, seeking to return the world to the archaic state, is one of the reasons for the global crisis of the left ideology in the modern world. Not the only, but important.

So it is here. You can’t be on the side of those who want to cancel a secular state. The state in which no one can be against his will forced to follow any religious requirements. It would seem that what is the case with the caricatures on religious subjects to the average representative of the Western Consumer Society? After all, these carications are simply uninteresting to the significant majority - it has other concerns and interests. So, maybe it’s better to really ban these carications, since they ask about it so much in order not to look for adventure? Is it worth it to rest for the right to express a relatively narrow social group? It was to such a reaction of the "consumer society" that obscurantists expected. It turned out not. The European bourgeois layman did not want to abandon the principles of a secular state.

This is a very bad news for Putinists and "conservative revolutionaries who joined them." It turns out that the "society of prosperity" was far from the same way as they expected. It turns out that it is quite capable of mobilizing in front of the blackmail of rapists. So, in the face of the Kremlin blackmail. Because it is in the West that there are truly spiritual, moral values. Unlike the so -called Russian world, the values ​​of which are reduced to envy, malice, aggression, suppression. The values ​​of which showed the Zvyagintsy in Leviathan. The values ​​of those who at the end of the film make angry speeches against Pussy Riot. It was this final that caused such a rage of our statesmen.

In Russia, not like in the West. The "new Putin majority", casting in imperial skin, condemns cartoonists, sympathizes with anti -Western terrorists and approves the ban of caricatures. It wants to have bosses that cannot be criticized and which you cannot laugh at. And if this does not work out with the earthly authorities, let there be a virtual, symbolic, fictional, “heavenly” bosses. This is the secret of the unexpected religiosity of former Soviet citizens, brought up in atheism and materialism and for the most part internally changed.

System liberal Nikolai Svanidze claims that the Parisian tragedy gives Russia a unique chance to return to the European family, taking an unambiguous position against terrorists. This will automatically mean the side of the West, to the side of its values. After all, the world was polarized. Or "I am Charlie", that is, in defense of freedom. Or “killing, of course, bad, but ...”, which means the actual justification of terror and repression.

I do not ask Nikolai Karlovich if he really believes that the Putin regime may want to become an ally of the West and for this to abandon his anti -Western attitudes. I want to ask about something else: does he really believe that Putin’s Russia can (that is, permissible) take the allies?

Personally, I don't think so. And I see the obligation of the Russian democratic opposition in the current global confrontation between freedom and violence in to prevent the West about the danger of attempts to attract to the union of the one who will betray at the first opportunity. To show the Western community that Putin’s Russia in no case should be invited to the allies. If only because in this country they are planted for expressing solidarity with Charlie Hebdo . They are planted by those who are also ready to go to the end in defense of the principles of a secular state, who are really an ally of a free world in a global confrontation. But for this, the opposition should show that there are such people in Russia. And therefore - more caricatures, good and different. Their distribution today is by no means a comic form of resistance.
