Shakhtar Athanasius in Gay Bar
They understand the network why Russia is Eurovision, and Joan Rowling is ashamed of Kyiv's support
The Eurovision and the victory of Dzhamala in social networks discussed the whole yesterday. Those who did not participate in this hoped at least today to see something else on Facebook.
* Carefully lifting the hatch cover* Already all musicologists, political scientists, anthropologists, sexologists, Euro -Highlights, patriots, as well as those who have never, in their life, nor the eye looked this collective farm called Eurovision, spoke out?
But it wasn’t there. Today, just a day of those who did not look at the Eurovision, but managed to read so much about it, which cannot but not comment on.
An interesting contest of Eurovision is interesting. I never looked, but read so much. From which only poems (crossed out) social discussions are not growing! Whatever the music will not be! Now I think in the morning - can there be a normal future for the country where the peoples have been destroyed? Where did half sit, half guarded? With such a negative selection, it is possible to then so that human rights, democracy, all that? And you look at us - no, nothing. And you look at Australia - well, nifiga yourself!
I don’t see Eurovision who won there, I am not interested and this music is not close to me.
But if not the next “Tyms-Dymz-you-Mno-Ilubi-Yatlube-Dymz-Tsotz” won-and the song tells about the victims of one of the genocides of the twentieth century, then Europe has a future. A bright future.
This is the victory of humanity over cannibalism.
What flags are there, it doesn’t matter at all.
And Lazarev sings perfectly, probably the best.
Simple - not about the main thing.
Ilya Danishevsky wrote about how songs about the main thing might look in the performance of Russian artists.
Eurovision was dreamed of, from us - a girl in a shirt of a prisoner, a tearful face and very proudly sings “Oh Shit I Can 'Help You!”, On a huge screen show all our political prisoners, art does not give freedom, but we touched everyone with the sincerity of such a recognition - yes, there are, look that we won.
But this, apparently, will not come soon.
And I wonder why there are no Russian songs about genocide, surplus, civil war, hunger compound, repression and gulaga? After all, the Russians were most affected, why so?
In social networks, they also offer another way to touch the jury with sincerity:
One way or another, most commentators agreed that they could not do without political statements even at the popular song contest.
In connection with the victory of Jamala at Eurovision, many considered it the right thing to notice in various contexts that, they say, art should still be outside politics. Of course, ideally - it should, but alas, life is still far from the ideal. And therefore, when politics aggressively invades the life of people who are distant from it, they, as citizens, as carriers of morality and owners of beliefs, are required to answer this invasion - each with the means that he best owns.
And so it was always in everything, including art. And when the German Marlene Dietrich sang the whole war for soldiers of the anti -Hitler coalition, she was not out of politics. And when the great Arturo Tuscanini left fascist Italy, he prepared the Palestinian Jewish Symphony Orchestra for his first performance and conducted them, he was not at all outside of politics. And when Charlie Chaplin removed the "great dictator", he was in the thick of politics. And when Paul Robson in the midst of anti -Semitic madness in the USSR sang a song of the ghetto fighters on Yiddish on the main stage of Moscow, he was a politician of the highest category. And when Sinyavsky in the trial of him and Daniel, realizing that they were waiting for the camp, to the question of what disagreements with the Soviet government he had: “purely aesthetic,” it was an answer to all those who believe that art should be outside of politics, because dirty policy is extremely anti -aesthetic, that is, extremely hostile to all art. And art is forced to defend itself from it, and participate in its resistance - the duty of people of art. Because they are primarily people. And already in this capacity and as a result they live in art.
And it is not difficult to understand that if there weren’t the deportation of the Crimean Tatars in 1944, there wasn’t a Russian aggression against Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea with the subsequent repressions and acts of the genocide against this long-suffering people, and Jamala would have sang a more fun song, and in general Eurovision-2016 would be completely different. It is likely completely without politics. Personally, I would not have noticed him at all, and fans of art without politics would have a complete and uncomplicated pleasure. Want? There is a simple way. Let's stop the war. Stop Putin. Let's stop repression and genocide. And you will be happy. Peace. And art without any politics.
“Culture exists separately from politics,” culture or sport “should not be politically engaged.” To say this is the same as saying: “Culture or sport should not belong to people” - because politics includes both sport and culture, and separate the political from non -political in a person or phenomenon, and why, if the political in essence means “human”. The terrible truth lies in the fact that the Eurovision Contest is really “political” - but this is not a secret and no problem. Precisely because politics actually belongs to people and does not scare anyone.
The political competition is, because at least that any vote of millions of people on any issue - for example, the choice between a tragic song and entertaining - is a plebiscite, and this cannot but affect the further life of states. The competition itself smoothes international corners by the very fact of its existence, teaches you to think about something else (according to the rules you cannot vote for a representative of your country - but you can give a voice of any other). That is, it is such a classic thesis about others; And the conditions of the competition in an elegant and easy manner themselves, as it were, help us experience this experience of caring for something else. To share love, give another your voice to another - and all this also causes mutual joy. When 26 countries send other hearts and likes to each other - of course, this is a policy. In that new meaning, where the center is a person, not a state. The fact that some countries will never vote for others is also a policy. As, however, the fact that other points are a symbolic attempt to “ask for forgiveness” (Germany gave 12 points to Israel).
Thank God there is such a policy. It is necessary to pray for such a policy, falling to her knees in front of her.
But among the Ukrainian commentators, many are convinced that the policy in the victory of Jamala played far from the main role.
Now many people write: "I knew that Jamala would win." So - I did not know that. I just hoped. And until the very end of the vote, I thought that the main intrigue in whether Ukraine would keep the second place.
And the matter is not as a song and numbers - just Eurovision is too complicated. Different countries, different audiences, different ideas about what “Euro -format” is, various situational preferences. Once he has the top of the ethnic, once-Fricice, once-strong vocals. To guess what will be in the trend in this particular year is very, very difficult. Therefore, I do not belong to those who "always knew that Jamala would win." I just hoped.
42 countries. Both a professional jury and ordinary spectators gives voices from each. The audience of six hundred million people. A whole round of ambitions, interests, financial flows, reputation stories. Formula with thousands of variables.
And all the more funny to read those who explain the victory of Dzhamala by intrigues of the world backstage. Those who believe that no complex system exists, and the outcome of the vote is determined by someone's evil will. Those who believe that the victory of Dzhamala is the work of Western politicians who decided to "annoy Moscow."
The funny thing is that all these statements are just self -disclosure sessions. In fact, we are present in confession, when people tell us how, in their opinion, the world is arranged and that in this world they consider it permissible. If they themselves organized a competition, they would certainly provide for the opportunity to put a personal weight on a particular scales. And since they are used to measuring the world on their own, they do not even doubt that the organizers of the competition have the possibility of “manual tuning of the results”.
Just everything
However, the victory itself is still impossible not to interpret in a political way:
That's what is important. Today, Jamala has become a symbol of Ukraine. The girl is the daughter of the Crimean Tatar and Armenian. Singing a song in the Crimean Tatar and English languages, in the entry to which the Duduk sounded - the national instrument of Armenia.
She could not become a symbol of our country either on the principle of ethnic or on the principle of linguistic and cultural.
But she became him - as a citizen and patriot of her country and her small homeland. And this helped us - once again - to take a step towards civil society, in which nationality is not a Nazi stigma, not the great "fifth count" of the Soviet era, but Nationality in the sense in which it is understood in a democratic society. Conscious civil affiliation and fidelity to your country.
Thank you, Jamala!
The fact that Eurovision has become for many the next reason to spit with someone on social networks also indicates that no “politics”, separate from “just life”, is no more.
completely spit on Eurovision, but the hypocrites who appear in my tape with praises of some Lazarev and humiliating the Ukrainian singer, because she sang about Crimean Tatars - go into disinfect
To soften the bitterness of the loss, pro -Russian users are actively promoting the "news" that Jamala spoke in Russia at New Year's cooperatives.
Recall that New Year's Eve 2015 Jamala spent a restaurant for visitors to the Rosa Khutor. Krasnaya Polyana G. Sochi Krasnodar Territory.

Other ill-wishers write that Jamala reminds Conchita VURST without a beard, that in a sense is even flattering.
In the entire shameful history of Eurovision, the only conchite Vurst was at least something original ... (
Writer Joan Rowling, who supported Ukraine on Twitter, Russian patriots were overwhelmed with comments, mostly obscene.

At the same time, some pro -Russian citizens found positive sides in the victory of Ukraine:
But if Sergei Lazarev won the Eurovision Council, it would be a strange victory: it turns out if you bend under the Eastern European public and say that Crimea is not ours, you will win in the competition and get a bonus for your career. The resulting defeat is perfect: having won the popular vote (it was unlikely that the voters knew about Lazarev’s statements), the passive Crimean -to -be lost among the professional jury, i.e. He was rejected by the very "public" that he tried to appease. Thus, a visual lesson came out: the betrayal of Russia and Russians does not justify itself, "beat, beat and be beaten."
The victory of Ukraine also serves our interests: firstly, Ukrainians will now have to look for a substantial amount to organize a meaningless event in the middle of a social disaster (and this is at least 10 million dollars, but, wanting to hit the world, Ukrainians will try to make a “batthe”). Secondly, dear European guests, having arrived at Ukraine personally, they will personally evaluate what ass is there and how far it is from Europe (we can not even attack the ultra-right gays, but banal mass attempts to rob foreigners). And thirdly, the Zakrainskaya, in its mass, the post-Soviet-Russian stage, having arrived in Kyiv, 80% that there will be obstruction with throwing green, attempts to fill the face, attacks on flags, blocking buses, etc., which will clean her brains. Honestly, it is difficult to come up with a more spectacular move than the personal acquaintance of the erefan-European with “free Ukrainians” so loved by them.
2017, Eurovision in Kyiv :)
Extreriaiiim :) Poroshenko has only a year to clean up Ukraine from radicals. The pre -trial detention center will be crowded.
Jamalu needs to be congratulated :)
In fact, jokes to the side. And thank God that Jamala won, because Elena Bondarenko wrote correctly - in this way, Peter Lexseich will have to remove the entire Perdimonel, who is now crawling around the country, to remove.
And for this message, the assessment of judges or spectators was not needed)))
But most of all the reposts collected the analysis of Vladimir Guriev :
Once a year we get a unique opportunity to observe live on the air as not the smallest group of people passes through five stages of acceptance of the inevitable. At first they cannot believe that the Russian contestant lost, because he was definitely the best. Anger is following: Surely the rule this year was corrected only in order to fill us up or there, I don’t know, the conditional Estonians betrayed us again. Further bargaining: But we still won by the audience vote, you can’t deceive people. Then depression: Come on, they will never go again that we forgot there. And finally, acceptance: well, then, next year we will show them, in extreme cases, we will send the cord.
Well, in general, this is an amazing alloy of internal projections, the confidence that everything in the world is sold and bought or, in extreme cases, decides to call, and the unburied hope that despite this this year will all see us for truly, they will understand what wonderful and kind inside, and again we will love us. All our infantility, all our naivety, insecurity, all our dislike as a nation appear out in these May days.
We have not many sandboxes left in which we can show ourselves. And every year, with all our homophobia, we send our not worst musicians to the most, let’s say, a tolerant competition and look forward to that they will praise us there. We know that the world backstage will do everything possible to interfere with this, but still we hope for the best and are wildly upset when we are right.
Shakhtar Athanasius had no friends, and he went into the gay bar.
It is so irrational that this is impossible to come up with.
This is not about music, in fact. This is about love, faith in a miracle and confusion, when you are, love is also somewhere, but the miracle did not happen (for sure the Japanese have some kind of special word, they are for such a master).
In general, if you do not like Eurovision, then you probably have a musical taste and musical hearing.
But we have a heart.
Seryozha, don't listen to anyone, you're the best !!! 111
