Own pride

The being of an ordinary Russian is filled with the spirit of independence, a special mission, obvious superiority before the West and the United States in particular. You can list for a long time the features by which Russia and Russians are better than Europe and America.

Here are the gay inclinations of the “Westerners”, and the general decay against the background of our spiritual enlightenment, and our willingness to abandon everything in the world and replace all the imports to our native, natural and useful - even the cost of pulling the belts to the state of intestinal colic. This is evidenced by the president, the patriarch and deputies, and 85% of Russians support them in this.

And this spirit of its own superiority will not give Russia an abyss. Because every day of his typical Russian lives with this spirit. And what is he, a typical day of an ordinary Russian patriot?

The Russian wakes up in the morning and goes to wash. Brushes teeth. By the way, an American Wadsworf patented a toothbrush in 1870. And in 1892, the American Shefield invented toothpaste in the tube. In Russia, this achievement of the damned West fell only in the middle of the 20th century ...

If a Russian is a man, he usually shaves in the morning. Someone prefers the electric browing-it was invented by British Chic in 1927. But many Russian men prefer to shave with a razor with tonya blades. It was invented in 1895 by the American Zhillet.

And if our Russian is a Russian woman, then she leads beauty on her face. That is, makes makeup. Mascara, lipstick, powder, cream ... By the way, Briton Rommel invented eyelashes in the middle of the 19th century. Then, at the beginning of the 20th century, the American William improved her for his sister Meibellin. So the mascara Maybelline that won the world was born. And in 1958, Elena Rubinstein-an American of Polish-Jewish descent-finally invented a tube with a brush-brush ...

And the proud Russian woman paints lips. The lipstick, which was first released by the French in 1883. And they packed - in the current form, in the tube - Americans from the company Guerlain . Then again was Elena Rubinstein, who created an inexpensive public lipstick ... And the American Elizabeth Arden with his lipstick ... And the American Max factor with his indelible lipstick ... And in 1947, the Americans finally came up with a car that could produce a piston tube with lipstick, now well -known. And it went ...

Having finished with washing, shaving or makeup (depending on the gender), the ordinary Russian is going to have breakfast. Everyone has breakfast in different ways.

Many love yogurt. Patriots believe that he was invented by the Russian scientist Mechnikov. Others are sure that yogurt was born in antiquity, in Thrace. One way or another, the mass production of yogurts in the early thirties of the last century began the French company Danon. In Russia, yogurts appeared in the late 70s of the last century. And someone loves sausages for breakfast. They were invented in 1805 by the Austrian Laner. And some prefer Croassan. Where he was born, apparently, you should not even explain ...

It is clear that sausages, yogurt or eggs for an omelet, a Russian takes out of the refrigerator. Who invented in 1841 an American Gorri. And the mass production of refrigerators began in the United States in 1919. In the USSR, the first refrigerators appeared twenty years later ...

The Russian will be preparing breakfast on a gas stove. Which was invented in 1825 by the American Sharp. In the 30s of the last century, there were already 14 million gas stoves in America. In Russia (USSR), the first gas stoves appeared in 1957.

Well, maybe not on a gas, but on an electric stove will weld a Russian porridge for himself. In 1893, the Canadian Achaern invented such an electric stove, the German company AEG in 1903 released the first serial plates. In Russia, the first electric stoves appeared in 1962 ...

Finally, the indispensable part of the breakfast of most Russians is coffee.

Coffee in Russia does not grow, does not grow and will not grow. It happened. And not everyone loves to cook coffee in Jezva (which many call Turku) - for a long time, and troublesome. It is easier to use soluble coffee. Which invented in 1901 by the American Kato. True, many love coffee coffee machines. Which was invented in 1901 by the Italian Betzcera. And in 1902, mass production of coffee machines began. They have.

How will the typical day of the ordinary Russian, full of sensations of the special mission of Russia and condescending contempt for Western civilization?

Many of the ordinary Russians watch TV during breakfast or read the Internet to find out the news about the special path of Russia. It is believed that television was invented by the Russian scientist Zvorykin. This, in general, is true with only “but”: in 1919, at the age of 31, Zvorykin became an American, and in the same America he patented his television. Today, most Russians have televisions manufactured by Korean Samsung - 32%. Then go the Dutch Phillips, Japanese Sony , the Japanese Toshiba and Korean LG .

And as for the Internet that the Russian uses, it was invented by the American Military Agency for promising DARPA developments in 1969.

Having breakfast, having examined the news about rotting, which is not capable of the West, the Russian goes to work. He leaves the apartment, and descends on the elevator in the entrance. This elevator, by the way, in its modern form was invented by an American engineer named Otis in 1854. Leaving the house, the Russian gets into the car to go to work. It is believed that the car was invented by Ivan Kulibin. True, the first serial production of cars began in Germany in 1888 by Karl Benz. Who had a daughter named Mercedes. He was followed by Peugeot in France, Oldsmobile and Ford in America ...

Today in Russia there are three out of dozens of best -selling cars - Russian "Lada" (the beginning of the production of which, as we recall, is inextricably linked with Fiat) . The rest are “Japanese”, “Koreans”, “Germans”, “French”, “Americans” (albeit collected in Russia). Here I would also like to note that if our Russian is private, but at the same time a little more prosperity of all other Russians - say, the president, or the prime minister, or the patriarch - then he goes to the “almost ordinary” Mercedes . Or Maybach .

Our ordinary Russian is going to work on an asphalt road. These first appeared in France in 1832. The current great oil power Russia laid its first asphalt streets after 30 years - from imported asphalt ... until 1873 there was no asphalt in Russia ...

It is clear that on the way to work, an ordinary Russian stops at intersections - at traffic lights. It just so happened that the traffic light was invented not in Great Russia, but in America Garrett Morgan in 1914. While our Russian is at a traffic light, he may call on a mobile phone. Which was invented by the American company Motorola in 1973. Today, 92% of Russians have mobile phones. At the same time, Samsung , Nokia , HTC , Apple, Sony are the most common.

And if the Russian does not call, he listens to the radio. Car radio was invented in the United States in 1929. If he is hot in a car, then the Russian includes air conditioning. Which was invented in 1902 by American Carrier. And the first household air conditioners Carrier appeared on sale in 1931, and in 1936, a car air conditioner was first installed on the bus on the route Damascus - Baghdad ...

True, it may still happen that our ordinary Russian is going to work in a tram. Or in a trolleybus. And then on the subway. The tram was invented in Germany by Ernst von Senses in 1879. The trolleybus was invented in 1890 in the United States Charles Otopol. The first trolley in Europe was launched in 1911 in Austria-Hungary, and in the USSR the first trolleybuses went in 1933. And the metro, the first line of which opened in London in 1863, was invented by the British Brunel two decades earlier.

In general, not the point. Our private Patriot came, finally, to work. And most likely, the computer turned on the first thing. Which was invented in 1941 by the German Conrad Tsuze. In 1946, the first computer was launched in the United States - the prototype of Eniac digital machines. The Russian computer works on the American Windows operating system. Or on the American Lunix system. Or on American iOS . The Russian creates all his documents using the American Microsoft Office program. And then prints on a printer. The printer was invented by the American company Remington in 1953. Today in the world there are one and a half dozen producers of printers, but Russian printers do not exist. Or another Russian can send a document by e -mail. It was invented by an American Typlison in 1972.

Well, in the evening, an ordinary Russian will return home. Perhaps it will watch football. This is such a game that the British invented in the 19th century. Or maybe the Russian will watch hockey. This is such a game that was invented at the end of the 19th century in Canada.

In general, this is somehow the typical day of the ordinary Russian, full of sensations of a special mission of Russia and condescending contempt for Western civilization. Good night!
