Hedgehog in deception

The drunk Khrushchev , who handed over to Ukraine the Russian peninsula. The vile Poroshenko, who was dentisting about the alive people in Odessa. Illuminated Putin: He suddenly expresses some clear and clear thoughts , correcting the mistake of a drunken predecessor. In short, I absolutely and categorically for the fact that Crimea returned to Russia , and what to comment here, right?

A thousand times heard on the guestelekanals. One hundred thousand times retold in newspapers and blogs. About the drunk Nikita, whom this audience unconsciously confuses with Yeltsin. About the great national leader that we illuminated the path to us. About Krymnash, and certainly with enthusiasm, ardently and inspired.

The answers are also known. It has long been established why, for what economic reasons, the Soviet leader translated Crimea from the composition of the RSFSR to Ukraine. The motives that were guided by the President of the Russian Federation are understandable, violating international laws and annexing the peninsula. Psychologically clear the methodology of inspired exaltation. Unless something new is reported about Poroshenko in connection with the Odessa tragedy, and then I would like to ask again: when is it, it was he, mocked over the unions who died in the house? Probably do not ask.

It's about something else. The fact is that not anyone spoke the language of the Putin agitprop, but Yuri Norshtein. The great artist, holy man. In general, if you think about whether people with an impeccable reputation remained in Russia, then you remember about Yuri Borisovich right away. About his amazing talent, about fearlessness in a clash with power, about marginal sincerity. Norshtein always says what he thinks, and when he retells Solovyov with Kiselev in his own words today, this means that such is his beliefs. He sees this and, mounting reality, honestly depicts them all: the illuminated Putin, yielded to Khrushchev, the sublime of Poroshenko, the liberated Crimea.

For similar reason, Lydia Chukovskaya wrote how she was struck in 1973 by signatures in the newspaper campaign of bullying Sakharov and Solzhenitsyn. Kolmogorov. Shostakovich. Aitmatov. Bykov. After all, this is not any punks, according to the first whistle condemning anyone for anything. This is not some kind of nonsense. These are people ... Famous science and art figures confirmed slander, participated in a gas attack, the purpose of which is to poison the consciousness of our people with a new lie! True, the similarity is far from complete. "People" in different ways were forced to participate in the propaganda sabbath. Norstein was asked - he answered.

Moreover, in sufficient detail and in your own way convincingly. He mentioned his parents and other relatives who worked in the Crimea. He talked about the sisters living there to this day, and about how afraid for them when shooting on the Maidan began , he wanted to evacuate to Moscow. Their on the Russian Spring, compassion and rejoicing, was tracking their eyes. When I called the sisters after the vote, they said: Yurka, but the people just fled to the sites - the giant lines of those who wanted to vote were lined up. And how, after that, we can draw conclusions that the "Crimea was shifted", on an insignificant percentage of voting against? That is, the director celebrated the victory with the relatives, and what will you object to him? We are all hostages of family ties.

Or not everything and wrong? It is known that the Russian-Ukrainian war is accompanied, sometimes, heavy strings in families. The closest people are tearing relationships: wives leave husbands, grandmothers curse their grandchildren ... The front line lay between bosom friends, and here, not shy of pathos, it is worth noting that among the crimes committed by Putin in the spring of 2014, this seems to be one of the worst. Norshtein and his sisters cannot but rejoice, but this case is not quite typical.

And here's another thing to say. Protecting "ours" in the Crimea, close and distant, Yuri Borisovich acts as a true humanist , but the situation is much more complicated than it seems to him. The sisters remained with the Crimean Tatars, forced to escape from their native land or stolen and killed. There are fathers and mothers, wives and children of thousands of those killed for Ukraine - in Debaltsevo, for example, or at the Donetsk airport. Norshtein is not natural with them and never saw them, but about the sister and mother of Nadezhda Savchenko, who was stuck into Russia after captivity and is now being judged, he probably knows.

However, he hardly thinks about them, alive and killed, absolutely and categorically welcoming the return of Crimea to his native harbor. As well as the fact that nothing to his sisters threatened, and no one would have died in Odessa, and thousands of people would have returned crippled from Donbass if the above Putin did not decide that Ukrainian citizens should pay blood for their Maidan. In the end, the Crimea of ​​the quarter century was nearly part of independent Ukraine, and no more or less serious conflicts happened there, and any Luzhkov and Zatulin could go there and swing the arrival of Russian flags upon arrival.

As for the revolution in Kyiv, this concerned only Ukrainian citizens and, by and large, no one else concerned. They shot at our city center on parliament from the tank, but the indignant Japanese did not take the Kurili from Russia on this occasion, and the Germans did not get to Koenigsberg - the Motherland of the Great Kaliningrad philosopher Kant. So Russia should not interfere in other people's internal affairs.

Our politicians lie, claiming that they saved compatriots from the brutal militants of the fascist junta. Repeating their speeches, Yuri Norshtein tells pure truth, how he feels her the soul of the humanist. Such a paradox. Such an incident. Such a disaster. How to explain? Apparently, here we can talk about the blindness of humanism , a rare disease, but that struck a wonderful director. Great artist, holy man. Well, there are times when the saints march, survived to them.
