In memory of the Turk

For me, my memory is unshakable; Maybe it is false, but is unshakable.

How to remake a person in an online epoch? Copying it CV ? Click Click-and you are on Wikipedia . I hope that one day some Konyashov colleague, a “man with a movie camera”, will make a film about him. Place on Yetube, give a link in the same wiki.
But there are memories that you can’t fit into the inhuman format of the virtual encyclopedia.

“Konyashov” is the official name. “Konyashov” is a television officer, producer of the “dog show”, publisher and children's poet. “The most interesting thing is going on on television. If Pushkin lived in our time, he would work on TV. ”
“Rosenshtrom” is for few: philologist and poet “Simple”.
- Sasha, how to imagine you: how is Konyashova or Rosenshtrom? I am slightly confused.
- I myself have been confused for a long time.

"Two captains."
"Two Alexandra two."
It would be best to write about Rosenstrom, Alexander Galushkin, with whom they made a cult Lithuanian magazine De Visu . Yes, he didn’t have time: Alexander the First died in March 2014, Alexander the Second in July.
De Visu closed because Galushkin, giving all his time to the editing of other people's texts, stepped on the throat of his own philological song. He was a philologist who was corrosive, responsible, very much cared about the high -qualityness of his scientific brand. Rosenschent was offended by his departure. Galushkin felt a grudge at a distance and, in turn, he was very worried.
Years passed. Years and years went. “He writes to Masha [Weissman, the wife of Konyashov] on Facebook, who offers me the world and holds out the hand of friendship. Only late - to give a hand ... "
And boring, and sad, and no one ...

His only book of “adults” verses is called “The complaints of the Turk”. A reference to the Lermontov poem of the 1829 Lermontov poem, ending the quatrain:
There early the life of a quarrel happens for people,
There is a reproach for consoles,
There a person groans from slavery and chains!
Friend! This land ... my Fatherland!
The romantic and teenage catalog of the imperfections of Russian life, to which Lermontov is twelve years later, challenging himself, will hidely contrast the “homeland”. From the final line about the “this land” will grow “this country” of Rosenshtrom. “ Homeland , Fatherland , Fatherland , Homeland , Native A ashes , shadow of branches - who else strives to wedge in this line for marble snot and granite handkerchiefs? Calling this country - this country . " The Rosensstrom essay is the last in the book "Vita Sovietica" . The Non-Academic Dictionary of Soviet Civilization, as the subtitle reads, went out at the August Publishing House, created by Konyashov. August released it in May. 2012.

I did not want to complete the dictionary on a gloomy note. In one of his first editions, the “this country” was an article by another author, inspired by Soviet life and Russian erotic folklore.
- Sasha, I do not know which article the dictionary should end.
- I don’t know either, but it certainly should not end with the article “Egg”.

And the dictionary opens with my editorial preface. Its first option was naked bitter from the results of the Duma elections of 2011 and tandemocracy on the march. Konyashov told me that he was strongly against such a preface and that we should not get into politics. I rewrote the preface, but then I caused myself for a long time: was there a moral compromise in this? Now I understand that Rosenschentr secretly defended a place for his own essay, which, in fact, became after the book to the book. In conjunction with my entry, this would be a clear overkill in terms of political lamentation - how to play the piano, without removing the feet from the pedal.

- Sasha, I do not know which article the dictionary should end. - I don’t know either, but it certainly should not end with the article “Egg”.

Montgeron. Konyashov and the film group came to France to shoot the “Parisian part” of the film about the Smogists and settled in the center of assistance to Russian emigrants. Sasha looks closely at the local human fauna and impressed by Yu.V. Titov. Yuri Vasilievich is the chief Russian cosmist from the currently living, a former Moscow dissident who is attributed to the authorship of the slogan “Respect the Soviet Constitution!”. After the suicide of his wife, already in exile, he survived a religious revelation and declared himself St. George, God-Father on earth. Having fired a cigarette at the polite guests, Yura tells about his vision: “I walked along the consent area and suddenly saw Tolstoy and Dostoevsky’s head over the Luxor Obelisk, and even higher, above them, was my head! I was very surprised. " Sasha shares his surprise with Yura.

Galushkin was a man of action, a man of large projects and their strict implementation. Konyashov-Rozenshtrom made no less in life, making the impression of who does not work so much as it gives deeds to come true. He always kept calmly, but it was the equanimity of the shadow director, who was worth it just to be nearby - and everything around took the performance of the performance. He argued that abroad should be said only in Russian, because everyone loves our language and rejoice when they turn to them on it.
Paris, tapestries. We are waiting with my wife to visit Sasha. A call by phone. “What to buy? - A bottle. - What is the fault? - For good. Tell the wine merchant: "Pur la, s, s'iel wu shoulder." Dow (Daube) - Provencalian stew made of beef and vegetables, prepared with the addition of wine; Zhenina's relatives on his mother - from Provence. Sasha appears with two bottles. “Everyone looked at me very much. - What is it? “Nothing, he said, as taught, to the seller:“ Pur La Dop ”.” For Russian, the final consonant by definition is deaf. “Dob” or “DOP”, what difference, we speak with foreigners, in our opinion, they like it. Only “ DOPE ” in French is a street word to designate the drug-from Doper , “Doping”.

Montmartre. Square at the monument "to a person passing through the wall." Shirvindt and Konyashov remove material for "I want to know." Misha is fooling around in front of the camera, flirtingly bends his thigh, lifts the floors floors, parodying Marilyn Monroe. Konyashov, trying not to get into the frame, watches what is happening - silently, glancing at his watch. The performance is performed.
Turk? Rather, a melancholy taos. An enthusiastic sidget. Man-Sumoron.
“I remember that all the most unusual stories that he told about himself in the end turned out to be true-except for the fact that, as if, according to doctors, he had to live a half to two years.” The penultimate proposal of my “he remembers” - about him.
