The USSR is risen
Social networks rejoice in the coincidence of Easter, primary and Walpurgia night
On the eve of the May holidays, many expected the usual deja vu.
We miss all the May holidays, I think. After all, the same thing is for a year: "night wolves" are breaking with a car industry on Berlin, Poland does not let them in. Monstration in Novosibirsk is prohibited, then they are allowed, St. George ribbons decorate the toilets, patriots make hooligan antics, everywhere there are mummers "heroes of the past times, from which sometimes names are left", etc. etc.
But this time, the usual events were diluted not by the usual series of coincidences.
Easter night that coincided this time with Valpurga is, of course, yes ...
The main question, as always, is the question - who?
Mom turned on the TV. And from there it rushed: May Day, Easter, St. George ribbons, painted eggs, united Russia, the Orthodox Church - all together, everything is stuck together. They used to say: either take off the cross, or put on the panties. Now this is called Easter-Pervomaisky-New Russian Religion)) or a demonstration- is it from the word "demon"?
In general, of course, the coincidence of Easter and the first of all is a completely surreal irony of fate. I'm waiting with incredible impatience. Will the gracious fire go in the mausoleum now? Will Lenin resurrect and ascend to heaven? Communitic procession? Zyuganov’s reception in young priests on Red Square? "Sickle and Hammer" on Easter eggs? "In the name of the father, and the son, and the Holy Spirit - the glory of the CPSU?" No, well, some enchanting circus should happen. It is impossible for such a day to go just like that, for nothing ...
Be Amin for the work of the communist church!
Always amin!
Commentators indicate that Easter coincided before, but the effect was different - in the Soviet years there was still no such unity of the state and church.
Yes, it was already. Coincidence. Somewhere at the end of the 70s. I remember the rhyme was walking: "Thanks to the parties for kindness from the affection. We took away the day off, opened Easter." Another thing is that then the rhyme was almost free. Is it now! Merged with ecstasy!
In the SSSR, I remember the Easter showed concerts of a foreign pop, so that the youth would write to the tape and do not go to church ... Once a year, jokes, the gardens bloom ..
And on TV showed some stunning "imported" movie, which in ordinary life on Telik would never show.
This is probably not the case under the USSR: it was not so hot with lighting in stores.
There was no one:
By the way, Ilyich and Kulich, as it turned out, rhymes not only verbally.
I painted the egg -coastal kulichtara on the square is waiting for Ilyichmir. Mai. Perekha. The entertaining proletarians of all countries connect!

But under the Soviet regime of October, they hatched directly from Easter eggs:
Those who could not choose what to celebrate, threw lots.

I go out to the city .... whom the first meeting is that and the holiday.
But this method would not suit everyone:
May 1. 13 hours. World. Work. Christ is risen. In the Hermitage Garden surrounded by intelligently walking citizens, a hefty ambal with protruding chin and Neanderthal forehead throws the facade of the New Opera with eggs. The people look with condemnation, but they are silent. Someone takes it on the phone. When the eggs in a cellophane package end, the ambal is deliciously, with grunts spits on the glass doors of the theater. The Silent crowd shouts triumphantly. And slowly leaves, throwing a backpack by the shoulders. The spit slowly slides along the glass. Silence. Only the ringing of bells from Petrovka. Easter in Moscow ...
Commentators remind you that without significant coincidences were not there last year:
Last year, Easter coincided with the Day of Cosmonautics. There was also a trash. In the morning Yaichko, in the evening about Gagarin.
These coincidences of the Orthodox holidays with all sorts of 1 May and day of astronautics are some kind of global calendar trolling and those and those)

And the artist Yuri Albert proposes to drain all these holidays together:
I look at the photo from Moscow and I think that it is high time to legislatively combine Easter, May Day and Victory Day. They are still compatible in the minds of fellow citizens.
The soldiers of the Red Banner X of the Legion, who became famous for victories in Syria and the liberation of Judea, will carry a ceremonial march along the Red Square of the Crucifixion and solemnly throw them to the foot of the mausoleum. Then festivities and mass washing of hands in fountains with consecrated water.
Although, of course, one could do without rehearsals of parades.
Every year, when the city rises in traffic jams due to the rehearsal of the parade and the street is announced by the howls, as well as everyone - I think how many people will die beyond ordinary statistics today because the ambulance could not pass.
And another seditious thought - in essence, all these victims - this, it turns out, is still victims of the same war.
Apparently, I am so terribly cringed from the holy holiday of victory that at least the holy water of the cropi ... As I think about this acceleration of the clouds, about the overlap of movement, about the mummers in the front -line tunic and caps, about the parade with missiles, about "if we must repeat" (and now about the green on the hair of the writer Ulitskaya), so I will not be keen at all in Moscow. And terribly sorry, of course, children (including my students): They will never believe that once it was the best - a real and holiday day of the year.
Sparing my own feelings, I pulled for a long time with this business. But yesterday, nevertheless, he flushed fluently past the magnificent and abundant Sobyaninsky splendor.
A powerful impression, already predictable, was unusually strengthened by commodity abundance in the same chronotope of rammed and smoking military equipment, as well as myriads of different -sized men in military and police uniforms.
General sensation: a large-scale landing of a military landing on the territory of the VIP-columbar for gypsy barons.
It would be best to just spend one more "monstration" instead of all other festive processions.
It is very interesting what the ingenious Artem Loskutov will come out today. His past slogans, abstract of recent history:
2015 - Lord, forgive
2014 - Hell ours
2013 - forward in the dark past
2011 - system, but what are you so nervous
Somewhere I have been collected almost since 2004. Myself, if possible, I want to say now that everything will be different
The main slogan of the Novosibirsk "Monestation" eventually became "not Moscow to you here." But in popularity in social networks, he was overshadowed by the slogan of "monstrium", held in Khabarovsk - "Future. Transport."
This, by the way, is not even Novosibirsk.
No, in short, to be afraid of the Chekists who fight the spies of the century before last.
(This is a generalization. In a historical sense, it is not necessary. Each specific person, unfortunately, is still very necessary.)
#Monstration was invented in the edification of Muscovites so that we know what it feels like when everything is interesting in another city
Of all today's events, and there are a lot of them suddenly, I would like to be only there, on monstration.
There is the latest air in the country.
The founder and ideologist of the "monstration" was detained according to the prevailing tradition.
Safe Part 2 of Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. Allegedly there was no approval. Up to 10 days. I am in the Central Court, the meeting will be now.
UPD: Court transfer to May 6, 9:30. Come to the exhibition on the 3rd evening, communist 43
Monsters respond to monstance.
It would seem - how can peaceful monstance prevent? - But what: it is not lowered from above, is not regulated by anyone and subtly hints at the failure and falsity of the official. The authorities feel this and try to destroy this.
The detentions ended in attempts to participate in the May Day demonstrations of LGBT activists - both in Moscow and in St. Petersburg.

Today, at May Day of progressive left (Moscow, 2016), the police are voiced by the ban on going under the umbrellas of rainbow colors. After some time, two activists (with a flag and an umbrella) pull out from the column. The law enforcement officers with frenzy are trying to tear out an umbrella and a flag from their hands. The symbolic execution of the umbrella. Journalists fly like starlings.
In St. Petersburg, despite the ban on the Raduzhny Pervomai campaign, the activists managed to join the procession and deploy rainbow flags.
The detainees were soon released.
Dear all-all-all! Thank you so much for the words of support: comments, SMS, phone calls. Your support is extremely important. Thank you!
Special thanks to the lawyer Ksenia Mikhailova, as well as many other people who did everything for our liberation.
Rainbow May Day took place. Our pride and freedom cannot be prohibited.
Easter took place:
