Your letters. March 4, 2016

“Dear Anatoly Ivanovich! You said several times that there is no Ukrainian state yet, as, indeed, Russian. Agree that here you allowed critical pointing. In general, the very existence of Ukrainian, albeit far from perfect, the state has already led to the formation of a new bilingual Ukrainian nation. There is nothing special about this. Almost all of Latin America speaks Latin - Portuguese and Spanish. But you will not say that the Mexicans are Spaniards. The new Ukrainian nation differs from the Russian no less than the Mexicans from the Spaniards. The tongue is secondary here. The primary is the rejection of the Moscow orders, grasps, expressors and leaders of that population. A disgust for the Moscow non -freedom. Bla -speaking Ukraine can be a much greater antipode of Muscovy than Germans or French. The Ukrainian nation will not dissolve in Russia, from which it has already moved over at a great distance. Ukrainian democracy is the lack of a slave mentality. This absence is quite enough. Concrete Meshalkin, ”this listener called himself.

“I received a salary and got excited,” writes the author of the next letter. - Three hundred dollars. Last year there were one and a half thousand. I am still a professor, doctor, head of the audience. Not a little? From grief I bought a good wine and after a liter found an answer to many questions. “Art,” wrote Sinyavsky, “is not afraid of dictatorship, neither severity, nor repression, nor even conservatism and stamp. When this is required, art is ultrasound, dull state, non -native and, nevertheless, great. ” Now I understand Mayakovsky, ”the author continues. - A genius of singing from him so that he did not see who serves. It seemed to these petty stains that they had a poet, and in truth, Vladimir Vladimirovich had a small incident in the form of the seventeenth year. In the lyrics, he has no equal to taste and aftertaste. I still love my classmate, but I can’t admit to her, I love her from the sixty -fifth year. You, Anatoly Ivanovich, can tell you everything, you are silent and neutral. Your listener is such and such, ”I omit the surname and address of this professor so that he will continue to appreciate me for the silence. I don’t know what I would do if all the letters for “freedom” were about love. I would probably have to build a specialist as a specialist in this part. The liter of wine, it seems, is not so much to write on the radio freedom about an unrequited love for a classmate, but given that this dose was preceded by such a nuisance as a reduction in professorship ...

"Music! - writes a woman of pre -retirement age. - Where are the golden years of our youth, when it was a religion and everyone sought to be a music love? People ceased to perceive and love her. There is now a single international hat, as before, and pop idols too. ” You know, friends, I envy this woman. She had in her youth what was joyful to remember - something far from everyday and official worries. Then she did not think why she needed it, and now she knows why: then, so that there was something to remember in the declining years. Much is given to us only to remember in the declining years. Only for that ... I don’t know whether the young listeners of “freedom” need to say that the music, which this woman and her peers were then fond of, was not beautiful. She was good, sometimes very good, but not beautiful, otherwise it would sound today.

“Your last program,” I read in the next letter, “made me think about Soviet music. There was a motive, folding words. And for a quarter of a century, not a single memorable hitter! Once there was such a transmission: "Song of the Year", it turned into a obscene cabbage. All folding, melodic exhausted. This is a new type of culture. The song broke up with a man. Why did it happen? And no Soviet song has never happened. There was a German song. It was a German type of culture, art. Of course, there was something from the French, Italians, Spaniards, but the main thing from the German canon. A typical representative is Georg ST, this "Mr. X" in life, a German knight on Soviet stage. But today there is neither that Germany, nor that France, nor that Europe as a whole. 3ABALL, if before everything was as it was now, we would not know the song in our understanding at all. Berendeev ” - we will think that this is the real name of the author of this wonderful letter. I am sure that you guessed, because of what statement I took him in the program. "The song broke up with a man." The vast majority of Soviet songs, and the best - almost all, are borrowed from the West, especially in the first decades. With one hand they threatened him, and with the other - slowly, thievedly pulled him to their borders. So, in fact, now. But the song, it seems, really broke up with a person, and not only in Russia. In folk songs, words amaze. These are pearls in a purely literary sense, followed by brilliant poets. The people always understood this. It is no accident, when people sing a folk song, it is clear that they enjoy, first of all, with words, content, that is, the literary side of the matter.

“It would be good,” writes Fedor from Vladimir, “if the people came to the imperial -shovinistic stupid. You see the ratings of the Kremlin adventurers who started a bloody buch in Ukraine will go down. And there, even before the general curses and anathemas addressed to recent people's idols, heroes, the "saviors" of the Fatherland and the "Russian world" not far. As it was with the last king Nikolashka. In the fourteenth year, he was popularly honored in Palace Square, expressed universal trust, blessing to war with Germany, offered prayers to heaven, and did not spare either incense or the tinned sipes of the Orthodox singers. This is at the beginning. And then (only three years later) there was an inglorious renunciation of the throne, universal contempt and, finally, the arrest and execution of the whole family of the fallen monarch. The cyclicity of historical processes ... Fools constantly step on the same rake. The gardens are now divided in Russia in Russia, like non-native dogs. The era, you see, is such a dog. All the best to you and the listeners of freedom. Fedor from Vladimir. " Thank you, Fedor! Suddened, they knew exactly why they were smoked. Nobody will count this as a mistake, and the leaders are first of all. The top can realize both danger and defeat, but not as a mistake. This is the difference between the usual government and the brigade of brothers. An ordinary government, yes, it can see and realize its mistake, draw conclusions - to retreat, even make a steep turn. Like Lenin, by the way. He with the core of his party, with this, according to him, the finest layer of professional revolutionaries, was not a criminal, although they were called bandits. They were worse than bandits, yes, but they were not bandits. Lenin was enough for three years to realize his main mistake, and he resolutely abandoned the banner under which he took power. It was written on that banner: we will live without a market, without money, without private property and in ten years we will find ourselves in paradise on earth. He erased all this, uttering the words that are terrible for his fools: the words that the indigenous revolution of all ideas about socialism is performed - the ideas with which they lived and fought, for which they did not spare themselves or themselves or others. You can imagine that Putin said today or tomorrow: we were mistaken in the main thing - we were mistaken when we decided to poke the rudiments of democracy in Russia? This is a gang, and the gang can say that she was unlucky, that she was weak. Having said this, she can pounce on the plowman from grief. But he never recognizes his deeds erroneous. And the Putin's majority does not admit that it was mistaken. The next generation can be. But the current one - no, he will live, talking, that he was unlucky, that the Pindos did not allow him to enjoy grandeur and prosperity, the traitors prevented him.

“Hello, Anatoly! - The next letter. - For another seven years he was not interested in politics, barely made ends meet. And last year, when I was hit by forty -two years, he discovered the program “Your Letters”. I decided to download the previous ones. Unfortunately, the archive begins only in the sixth year, but this was enough for me. I thought: But in the same sixth year, when only thoughts about the daily bread occupied me - what was discussed in your program at that time? He began to listen and stunned. All the same as now: Putinism, anti -Americanism, anti -Ukrainianism and further on the list. But still with interest I listen to archival notes twice a day, going to the balcony to smoke a pipe. After all, the letters are really interesting - some are good for their funnyness, some amusable with prohibitive stupidity, and some simply, so to speak, “for life”. In short, now I more or less began to understand what's what. But how many such people who do not care about politics, as I once! They are held by everyday worries, how to not die with hunger and so that there is something to pay for the apartment. And when the population lives like that, then he does not care deeply (like me once) to all sorts of elections, a democratic path and all that place. So I have very few optimism. Andrey. Saint Petersburg".

Thanks for the kind words, Andrey! I haven’t smoked for a long time, but after your letter I also wanted to stand with a pipe on the balcony and listen to something that my ears would not wipe from. Trying, thinking ... The experience of post -Soviet Russia, as well as other countries with a similar fate, showed that the most difficult thing is the affirmation of democratic legality. For centuries, the right of strong triumphed. It performed in different types, for example, in the form of estate privileges. People are used to that one is allowed more than others. The deprived did not like this, but consciously for the better device reached relatively recently and far from all nations. What does it want, what is he achieved, what is the ordinary resident of Russia who is busy with? Get something bypassing the line, bypassing the law, bypassing order. He longs for fair legality and at the same time only does that that he is trying to achieve something for himself as an exception. When you observe this, it becomes clear that the rational self -organization of society is the self -profit of everyone separately and everyone together. It is very difficult to give, it is self -edition. Self -edition is correct, reliable order. The Chinese in despair in whole bundles shoot nobles. This is nothing but an attempt to self -organize society on a reasonable basis. Not at the end, but still ...

The next letter: “You announced someone’s claim to the participants in the discussions to“ freedom ”who use parasitic words like“ as it were ”. About this, as well as as a whole about the problem of “wrong” speech, I will say the following. Such a speech indicates that a lively discussion is on the air. Its participants do not read the prepared texts on a piece of paper. Living people are not perfect at all. And they say wrong, and they drink vodka, and fight, suffer from obesity and much more. Society where all people do not suffer in anything like that are described in numerous anti -utopias. In the real world, so far, fortunately, there was no such thing, and most likely it will not be. As for the link to Pushkin, we do not know how Pushkin said in ordinary communication, there was no sound recording then. But somehow I doubt that he spoke impeccably. As for reasoning about "intelligence" - well, this is generally beyond. Who are you, dear Mr. X, to decide who the intellectual is and who is not? This resembles the attempts of some loser writers to say: here, they say, ten thousand who read me, Petrov, and my friends Ivanov and Sidorov, they are enlightened, intelligent, and millions that Lukyanenko read, or hundreds of millions that read Coelho-they are, they say, cattle. Finally, claims about “wrong” speech can only sound to a foreigner. And in his native language, a free person speaks, as he considers necessary, ”writes this listener. We agree with him or not, it will not change anything about how things are in the surrounding reality. The educated and well -educated person gives his speech as clearly as the ignoramus and the ignoramus. All this does not prevent us from inexplicable pleasure to remember the Pushkin lines: “Like a lone of ruddy without a smile, I do not like Russian speech without a grammatical mistake.”

“Come on, shot, it's funny to listen to you, - I read the next letter. - You really got stuck at times when a trip to Kapstran was a kind of fantasy. It was possible to see dollars only in the cinema, and the view of the first foreign bench plunged into awe. Something like that in ancient times already, the aborigines of distant countries were trampled in front of glass beads. It seemed to them that this was an unprecedented jewel. But now, with glass beads, even in Africa, no one is surprised in Africa. Times have changed. Everything became different, although we can say that nothing has changed. Both that and that will be true. But our shops are now the same as they were in the West, the entrances are really clean, and the Russians also changed in the heads of the Russians. They just see what is actually. There are no pink glasses, and there is no supplication to Western propaganda, to all this crap on the topic: Russia needs not space, but clean entrances, ”the letter says. Cosmic business, it is mainly military purpose. A few years ago, the then Minister of Finance of Russia Kudrin, Putin’s personal friend - it seems, to this day - sharply opposed an increase in military expenses. He said that the country would turn. They did not agree with him, and he quit, not wanting to be responsible for madness. He wanted not military, but social expenses, on net entrances as well. And now I think: who inspired him? Our listener may well say that Western propaganda, but we know that there is no such thing in nature. We also know well why this listener wants to think that it exists and is only busy, how to knock him down from the true path. He needs to be sure that the world is doing before him. This gives him importance in his own eyes. This heats his patriotic feeling. Since he has brains, then there should be someone who is trying to spoil them, and this someone is the West, Americans. Why are they? Because they are richer and stronger than all. After all, he, for his part, also tries to scold everyone who is poorer and weaker for himself - for that he needs his brains and everything that is to the brain, otherwise why? This is the course of the savage thought not in the abusive, but in the historical sense of the word. The course of the thought of people, communities who still do not live, but survive, are not busy with life, but survival. A wary, imagination, envy, desire to go astray and defend himself from the enemy, passing, if possible, on the offensive. And sorry for them, and evil takes them - with such a feeling, the part of the world where they already live, and not survive, looks at them.

“You were mistaken, Anatoly Ivanovich, and I am with you,” the next listener begins. - In the nineties you said: our people do not know the world yet, but they will begin to visit Europe, see everything with their own eyes and understand what's what. Almost a quarter century has passed since then. The haters of the West and super-patriots were not at all residents of the settlements, but those who met European speeds and comforts. Who is the main propagandists of the Kremlin? Who composes and pursues Putin's policy? These are people who are practically living in Europe or America and from this, who hate the civilized world as it happened in Soviet times, ”our listener who wrote this does not exaggerate. There are several explanations of this hatred. Russian crooks and thieves and their service really wanted them to be considered their own in the West. In order not only to allow the palaces, ponds and entire lakes to buy in London, but they also invited them to their parties, talked with them, as with equals, they would not see in them crooks, but gentlemen. They didn’t get this. Permission to spend money on anything, including the purchase of Western politicians, newspaper and broadcasters, have billions of bills in Banks of Vienna, Paris, Zurich - received this. And they did not receive respect. In Moscow, the Russian rogue feels like a big person, and in Europe all Galka shout after him: you are nobody, nobody. This makes him a hate of the West and the emotion son of the Fatherland. The second related to this. The Russian crooks wanted the thieves and fascist orders established by them in Russia to be considered as democratic in the West as English, German. But no, Europe directly says about these orders what they represent: thieves, gangster, fascist orders. This also adds to the thieves of patriotic enthusiasm and hostility to the West. Or accept us as we are, and we are villains, boor, blatari, or we will be offended by you and will be scorched by evil at ourselves, and wherever we can.

Mr. Chelevich writes: “With the advent of the Internet, it became easier for the Lord to observe humanity. There is something to rejoice, there is something to be upset. By going to some sites, it may say: “Sleeping! They were given a great pleasure, and they turned it into it! ” And it’s good that the anger is not very harsh, the patience of its borders has no borders. He teaches and teaches us, fools, we pretend that we’ll send the crosses, we beat the bow and light the candles, and then again for our own. ”

You noticed that when a person is engaged in self -criticism on behalf of all mankind, we can listen to this, but not for long? So, by the way, it was always and everywhere.

Driving humanity, some offer him their programs Savior. Читаю: «Чтобы спасти планету от власти злодеев, я разработал идеологию и механизмы для социального оздоровления общества и строительства справедливого и безопасного мирового сообщества. И давно прошу властей всех стран и их элиты дать мне деньги на информирование мирового сообщества и создание необходимых условий для объединения всех стран и всех народов мирового сообщества в Одно Компьютерное Мировое Правительство, которое со времени преобразуется в Единое Трудовое Братство. Это создаст мир и гармонию на планете. Слуги народа, власти борзы не дают деньги! What to do? Как убедить, вынудить борзых властей дать один процент бюджета? Как информировать мировое сообщество?», - все спрашивает и спрашивает этот изобретатель. Почему я время от времени оглашаю такие труды и заботы? Не для того, чтобы кто-то в очередной раз улыбнулся. Дело в том, что такие перлы находят пути на страницы газет, на экраны, на думскую трибуну, в правительственные решения. Хотели поставить на колени Европу, но сначала - Украину, угрожая перекрыть газовую трубу. Теперь готовы отдавать газ чуть ли не даром, да только все меньше охотников его брать. Это факт: прежде чем объявить Россию энергетической сверхдержавой, которая будет начальствовать, по крайней мере, над половиной мира, в Кремле освоили целые тома сочинений о том, как это будет. Науки там было не больше, чем в проекте «Компьютерного Мирового Правительства» (все слова с большой буквы), каковое Правительство со временем преобразуется в «Единое Трудовое Братство» (тоже все слова с большой буквы). Сказать еще? В свое время несколько мужчин со странностями (и, кажется, одна женщина) убедили себя и все тот же Кремль, что они – большие военные ученые-стратеги и могут все. Например, читать мысли первых лиц планеты. Разумеется, они без проволочек были обеспечены надлежащим денежным и вещевым довольствием и вскоре представили доклад о прочитанных ими тайных мыслях государственного секретаря Соединенных Штатов Америки госпожи Олбрайт. И среди них, этих мыслей, одна из важнейших – о Сибири: что, Сибирь, мол, для России - слишком жирный кусок и надо его у нее отобрать. Вы думаете, этим дело и кончилось? Недавно не кто иной, как генерал Патрушев, глава Совета безопасности РФ, ближайший к президенту человек, с самым важным видом огласил этот замысел Америки, добытый доблестными русскими разведчиками. Дескать, противостоять такому злодейству - важнейшая историческая задача России, ради чего можно перейти на хлеб и воду как основные продукты питания.

Женщина в поезде громко жаловалась на врача, к которому ездила за пятьдесят километров. «Он не стал меня раздевать! Он слушал меня через свитер. Спереди и со спины – через свитер, представляете!». Меня так поразил этот рассказ, что я решил вставить его в передачу. Считайте, что эта женщина написала мне письмо. Чтобы проверить себя, я передал эту историю своему другу доктору Иванову. Считайте, что решил проконсультировать у него это письмо. Скоро пятьдесят лет, как он доктор, раньше – участковый, сейчас это называется семейный. Почти пятьдесят лет на одном участке, в одной амбулатории. Как приехал по назначению после мединститута, так и осел на месте, отведенном ему партией и правительством. "Can't be! – резко сказал Владимир Иванович. – Этого, что она рассказывает, не может быть. Или он, этот врач, так разленился, так опустился, допился… Если ты врач, ты обязан раздеть человека, который к тебе пришел на прием. Женщину – вдвойне обязан. Ты должен не только прослушать ее сердце, легкие - ты обязан прощупать ее груди. С какой бы жалобой ни пришла, обязан прощупать груди! Там могут быть узлы, узелки, узелочки. Это может быть рак, мать-перемать, с этим не шутят. Ты должен прощупать каждый сантиметр, и если, не дай Бог, нащупал что-то подозрительное, немедленно организуй лечение. Ты обязан прощупать каждую ее грудь так, как их никогда не щупал и не будет щупать ни один ее муж и любовник!».
