Plasma night

I want to tell you about a small anniversary, about one night that was a month ago - about the night from December 16 to 17 the fourteenth year. The day was sad - the Central Bank, if you remember, increased its key rate; By noon, the dollar cost 74 rubles, and the euro - 91 rubles. Closer to the afternoon, the people seemed to woke up and found that there was no currency in all ATMs: many tried to withdraw salaries from cards in dollars. Then the pantofelic mail buzzed: in Ulyanovsk they are already officially selling euros at one hundred and fifty rubles. Then, already closer to the night, Sberbank stopped surgery on his cards.

The scandalous currency course on the following days has decreased, we all remember, we know. The delay came out. Maybe that's why no one remembers about the dawn watches on December 17-it somehow went around the night. Without understanding.

They didn’t write about her. Unless I found a sad material under the name: "Voronezh residents get rid of technology purchased due to currency panic."

But it was cold, people stood near the green ATMs, and a shot at the National Hotel was already sounding, and the co -owner of the financial company Ivan Sh. was shot, and left a note so that his ashes would be dispelled over the Black Sea. Lifenews wrote: "He could not stand the psychological stress of the day." Every black Tuesday or a bad Thursday - as far as I remember - it is noted a victim; There is always a person who is afraid with the whole people, but suddenly he becomes worse than the terrible.

Well. Wealthy people, in the posts, did on December 16 something correct money-consuming, wealthy people without their positions bought Porsche on that Tuesday.

The title was remembered: "The Russians are not passive, but aggressively motionless."

And good ordinary people, who endorly approve of the state course, went after work in trade malls for televisions and phones.

I went to the Metro store, so I spent that plasma night with her compenses and where they were. Namely, I stood in a five -hour line in the store, I repeat, Metro Cash & Carry . These shops are called small -optical centers for professional buyers and is supposed to serve hotels, restaurants and small retail. But this is only - as expected. All inhabitants of nearby areas go to the Metro. In general, any buyer from the middle and lower layer of the petty bourgeoisie in Russia is a professional professional; And it is not difficult to get a metro card with a card.

What did I need in the store? IPhone - I promised it as a gift and was afraid that I would have to buy two times more. And the satisfaction of pure interest - at that time, everyone wrote about public peace: sanctions from a side effect, the dollar rate is growing - and okay, the rating of trust in power is also growing - does not fall. Foreign journalists considered that the Russians reconciled in advance with future trials. The title was remembered: "The Russians are not passive, but aggressively motionless."

But indeed: of all the crises, this is the most silent. And here is a fiery night, they called me and ordered me to run to any electronics store: there are crowds, there is a nerve. It must be seen and written!

There was no nerve. But I was shaking in anticipation, running. I wanted the queues on the street, screaming, truth. Finally, the Lord, the neighbors who have already begun to scare the people, forgive people of their own.

And then the disconnect is not ridiculous. I recently saw an advertisement on the Internet: "Ambitious intellectual leather handbags for real men." It was convex to the advertisers. The cry of despair of a ruined merchant, a greedy attempt to combine the incompatible: to hook with commodity interest both of the parts of society repelled from each other. But we are starting fiercely. And in the middle is black water .

"And you are to where all the parties are." Wow! There were dill, quilted jackets, coloras, now soputa.

There was no line on the street. Meanwhile, the thirst for revelation played bad jokes with me.

At night, even in sleepless stores, it is empty. I asked the saleswoman how to find an electronics department. She waved her hand and told me: "And to you where all the parties are." Wow! There were dill, quilted jackets, coloras, now soputa. The word clumsy, of course. But how freely this young marquitant speaks out, I thought, and how she sees the situation, and the nickname, not yet heard. “Immediately behind all racks with accompanying goods,” the girl added, “turn right.” She explained this in time, otherwise I was clinging to, imagining how I would famously introduce a new word.

In the electronics department stood a person of forty middle -aged men - there were completely few women in line. The iPhones were already over, and they said around that there were only twenty of them at the whole store, for everyone. But no one was upset. The line "took" TVs.

Next to me is an honest man of medium active age (a real man who will never buy an intellectual and ambitious handbag) plunged five flat boxes (five plasma meter panels) in a cart, while continuing to say to someone nearby: “And then Vladimir Vladimirovich will personally head the popular uprising.”

It sounded delusional. It also looked: how can one win and recall the people who, having seen enough of the TV, in anticipation of the hungry years buys a supply of TVs, not pasta?

A replica from another conversation was heard nearby: “Of course, I no longer have salaries. What is there - counting, collapsed. But you believe, yesterday I first became a millionaire. ” Here the explanation (one of the explanations) of communal calm at the beginning of the crisis dawn.

It turned out that the minimum amount of accumulations of each stood - an average of 10-15 thousand dollars (or, better, euro). At least in this amount the interlocutors allowed themselves to admit - reasoning which of them at what hour the currency course took off both the loser and the ruble millionaire.

In principle, these conversations in their actual part do not contradict the data of VTsome: in 2014, 38 percent of Russians reported as part of the survey that they have banking or extra -bank savings; At the same time, "the minimum amount that the Russians are ready to call savings ranges in the region of 243-244 thousand rubles." Moscow, of course, in this matter is ahead of the province. It is difficult for sociologists to keep track of all these cubes of a simple strong householder: because the respondent respondents lie. Sociologists lie to Russian people, but you would know how Russian people lie to sociologists! A simple household is absolutely opaque.

The iPhones are already over. But no one was upset. The line "took" TVs.

For the first time I heard gastric conversations of patriotic comrades - it was important. After all, it cannot happen that all the townsfolk suddenly are ready to break their lives only in the name of the idea and against the Pindos. The night of Moscow outskirts, small shopkeepers, the salt of the Russian land, foured on the fate of the country: about loans.

The party of ruble millionaires was asked: “Why are you so satisfied, well, your money has been delayed in the price, so you then spend it on sausage and spend it one and a half thousand per kilogram. Or on the same car - how much is a foreign car for buying a foreign car now? "

But, my god, how indignant the stoods were: “This is not for purchases. These are those that lie! And we take a loan for cars. ”

Poetic situation: let their native money live in sofas; This is a Russian dollar, it must lie and get fat, and let the stray loan work. In general, it turned out that the loan plays a huge role in the public agreement with the authorities. Maybe one of the fundamental.

An honest man with five TVs, who suggested that Vladimir Vladimirovich would lead some uprising, spoke just about loans.

“When there will be nothing to give,” he said, “the banks, of course, will not be entrusted to the people. They will try to take everything back, rob. But did they give us money? What do they have their own? They were given the opportunity to work with us. And if they climb on the people, then the war will begin, then people will go to the streets. And here Putin takes and declares a credit amnesty, what? What's happening? Vladimir Vladimirovich personally heads the popular uprising! "

"Then the banking system will collapse!" - answered from the line.

“And who will need it then? If already on the streets? No, wait a minute, Putin and the people have a serious male conversation, he gave us to live, now we must live to give him. If he removes the loan from us, he will give all the people a free people, he is a liberator then. I want to say that my friends who wanted to in Donetsk - they, of course, for the truth for Russia, but also ran away from debts. ”

Forty -five percent of the country's economically active population has loans, in some regions this figure is much higher - up to ninety. We all took 11.3 trillion rubles in credit in recent years, of which 881 billion rubles are, as of December, the amount of loans, overdue for more than 90 days. Nineteen percent of borrowers have five or more loans - and banks continue to issue new ones in the calculation that the new loan will enable the debtor to serve the old ones.

There are entire cities in which there is not a single household, not burdened with duty. And there is a folk legend about the rebellious villages, where the inhabitants, having agreed among themselves, refuse to give money and, gathered at the outskirts, as if they were not allowing collectors. So far, we have a little intelligible “folk” ideological war, in which part of the population feels absolutely right: “they take robber interest”, “they force them to sign pieces of paper with small print on the back,“ they set up crediticles in stores where they give money for a fingerprint at 730 percent per year - and these are devilish machines, worse than slot machines for people. ” Why feel the obligated such adversaries? Many people believe in a credit amnesty, as in a peasant free, and wait for it.

And here Putin takes and declares a credit amnesty! What's happening? Vladimir Vladimirovich personally heads the popular uprising!

The most interesting thing is that in the Vygotochinsky Facebook, if credit trouble is discussed - and in a special trouble were those who took the dollar mortgage for the apartment - the topic of state agreement and state responsibility sounds like the same: “These people who bought apartments in a foreign exchange mortgage are and they moved the economy. And they have the right to take care of them too. And most importantly, they took a mortgage when the Russian authorities promised them stability. Not even so - stability with a capital letter, as a national idea. ”

But stability, by and large, was vital only to those who, as it were, attempted, - only to us, the Vygochinsky city stratum. Indeed, unrest is not hungry, but well -fed, which have not been fed for three days. After all, I wanted what - within the framework of the Roman, so to speak, the right to express their opinion, so that from the distorted order (the authorities are not too good, but is going to linger) to return to the order more perfect. I riots for the sake of order.

And my neighbors buying TVs with a crisis night - they do not need stability. They (externally) are ready for the most decisive change in order, truly revolutionary, - war (preferably, of course, on the outskirts), credit free, banking collapse, and nationalization of enterprises. And in order for America to go broke and collapse.

And in order to understand and in a cold soul to accept such moods (and we need to accept, otherwise we will never understand each other), we will have to assume that the majority of the population of our country has lived in a mental misfortune all the last decades - in such a constant misfortune that destruction seems to be a way out, not trouble.

We do not understand each other, because we have forgotten how to regret each other. Therefore, the main truth of all these words and moods is the fear of life failure, which can finally throw out. This inner trouble is the fear of violence, the fear of inequality and visible social failure, the lack of their own business and its private territory, which no one can climb and which no one can ever take away is all that the life of every Russian man, an honest patriot. And yes - envy of someone else's, more successful or light, as it seems, life.

And then the expectation of a loan free is, as it were, compensation for the upcoming impoverishment: together with the whole country, they are ready to tighten the belts, but you will please remove personal debts. We equalize in a social feat. Khuls of an individual failure - and together with the whole country we begin to suffer from a clean sheet. What is happening in society and the country is perceived as exemption from personal responsibility, a happy return to the community: I am like everyone else. For such happiness, one can also sacrifice prosperity, especially since the debts from all sides are surrounded.

I at one time made one anthropological observation at one time: about the true reason for the popularity of Karaoke in Japan. There were years when Karaoke opened in the lobby of stores, in the entrances of profitable houses, “private rooms of karaoke for one” were distributed, almost booths on the streets were built. The reason: the severity of the traditional way, internal discipline and the cult of the shame of the Japanese man-on the one hand, and the frantic stress of public restructuring in the 70-80s-on the other. The Japanese man sang as he screamed: people spilled out in a cry everything that had accumulated.

And when, under a high Russian sky, I hear this mass, thousand -year -old scream: “Horses were sold to Pindos, overseas grandmas cookies give out, we will not give the homeland to the offense of Putin” - it seems to me that this Karaoke turned on his great “empty orchestra” so that it could be shouted into the sky all fear of life and over severe state force.
