That point in the past. How Tatyana Yumasheva defended Boris Yeltsina
An interview with the daughter of the President of Russia is an event. Tatyana Yumasheva tells Forbes Woman magazine about the Yeltsin Museum - the Presidential Center, which will be opened at the end of November in Yekaterinburg, about Yeltsin himself, about the war in Chechnya, about Boris Nemtsov, whom she personally persuaded and persuaded to come to Moscow from Nizhny Novgorod in March 1997, about “family rule” (conversations about “family” are needed. There were to discredit the president ”), finally, about their current family life.
The Yeltsin Center, I must admit, opens very on time, and Yumasheva’s interview is also by the way-the 90s today is in the spotlight. It is clear why this is happening. When there are no ideas about the future, it remains to engage in the past, collecting a set of convenient myths. The nineties become an ideological design that legitimizing the state of things. More precisely, anti -design. The whole current era is rebuilt from the 90s, as they say in politics: then they were weak-today are strong; Then the country broke up - today, on the contrary, expands. In confused logic, explaining why our Crimea, the main thesis is that in the 90s the country “could not protect its interests” (and suffered from the West of humiliation). And now - maybe.
Do you believe that that power did not pull the threads, did not repress the disagreements, did not falsify the elections? Then we go to you
As you know, the Cargo-culture is a belief that the image works no worse than the original: if you build straw radio ranges, then aircraft with real stew will fly. Political scientist Ekaterina Schulman at one time introduced the concept of a reverse cargo-poult -there is no idea that stew is also not a dummy and public freedom, just some depict it better than the rest. Discreditation of freedom in Russia is a wide, large -scale project. It is directed not only to the side, to the west, but also back to the past. You still naively believe that that power did not pull the threads, did not repress the disagreements, did not replace the institutes with decorations and did not falsify the elections (how, by driving the sleeves, we do today, and everyone always does)? Do you believe that in Russia it is possible and differently? Then we go to you.
The foundation of this project today is on the stronger belief that Boris Yeltsin’s victory in the 1996 elections was brutally falsified. This is his key point, on the one hand, supplementing the picture of the total failure of post-Soviet liberalism-the very “dashing 90s”, on the other hand, falling into the heart of the current social resentification, according to Gleb Pavlovsky , in the most wiped place on the map of the search for the cherished point, in which the arrow of Russian history was switched to a dead end route. People are generally prone to such experiences. That's why Marty Makflai, who had just flown past, is popular: I would have to go back, on a particular day and hour, and fix everything - a very tempting thought for everyone who has an unsuccessfully formed life.
The carrier of the reverse cargo-pult, of course, does not believe that a real stew exists, but learned that faith should be imitated in it. Therefore, he becomes like an offended religious fanatic - the further, the harder it is to live with his inescapable pain. What did you do in 1996, just the other day, ex-official Oleg Morozov, who for five years, managed the administration of domestic politics in the Kremlin, was experiencing . What did you do? Four words, and please: the concept “according to rumors, not everything was clean then” develops into the concept of all the obvious failed disaster. (This catastrophe is voluminous and multidimensional: what did you do? - in parallel and with the same mournful grimace from the Oonian rostrum, the president throws the West.)
So, talking about falsifications in the 1996 presidential election - Lie, Tatyana Yumasheva answers them. She gives two important arguments.
