So that I live like this: inside the SECTROCHERS sect

In the cohesion section, we continue to study all kinds of sects, interest mugs, communities and associations into which people get down to protect themselves from the cruel external world, because together - it’s not so scary, it is easier to invent myths and believe in them. But this is much easier than learning to live with an existing reality. We have already sent our scouts to the sects of the Radical Body positive , pickupers and mammas stirred on children. Today we will go to the kingdom of nostalgia for the past era - in public lovers of the Soviet Union , among which not everyone managed to live at the same time.

A person is inclined to idealize the past or dream of the future-probably this helps him to somehow survive the present, which most people at all times were rather lousy. Even the most ancient peoples often composed myths about a certain “golden age” that was, but all went out, after which people had to earn their days in difficult labor and all injustice. Here, for example, how they imagined the "Golden Age" ancient Greeks:

Those people like the gods lived, with a calm and clear soul, not knowing grief, not knowing the works. And the sad old age did not dare to approach them. Their arms and legs were always equally strong. In feasts, they spent life. And they died, as if embraced by sleep.

This, if that, Hesiod, has written almost three thousand years ago. Everyone knows the story of exile from paradise.

But the Russian man, as always, surpassed everyone. In Russia, they manage to idealize an era , which ended only a quarter of a century ago. Among us live thousands of people who seriously believe that the USSR was the golden age of our country . At least in the open spaces of Runet there are full of them. In the process of writing this text, I got acquainted with a dozen publics on VKontakte and Facebook, each of which has from three to one hundred thousand subscribers. Their name is the legion, or rather, the legion of the Soviets, and this is the most suitable name for adherents of the sect of unconditional worship of the Soviet Union.

People who nostalgic in the USSR are divided into two categories: those who managed to live in the country of Soviets, and those who were born in the late 80s or in the 90s. The former nostalgic in their youth (approximately as in that joke: “ - Grandfather, how was it under Stalin? - under Stalin, granddaughter, it was very good! Under Stalin I had a dick”), the latter listen to the first and believe in a country where you could not strain and live well, because it is nice to believe it.

The lives of Soviet people, the co -sobs represent something like this (spelling and punctuation are preserved):

“The bastards of the commies! We did not ask them, and they did everything for us and sanatoriums, hospitals, kindergartens, education is the best in the world. Imagine, they forced to study for free and receive medical care for free! They also sent us on a paid vacation! And 8 hours working day, this is atrocities! A worthy life with a pension for which you can pamper grandchildren! Yes, this is what they still thought up, they were going to reduce the working day to 5-6 hours, and the retirement age to 45-50 years! Freasts !!! It’s good that they did not have time! And how the preferential and free tickets at the trade union committee persuaded to take! And these parasites forced us to play sports, tormented by tourist trips and TRPs! Hockey boxes and youth were built in the courtyards, there was nothing left to do anything in the evenings to play hockey! The Communists mocked people! The apartments were given for free. And what the arrogant crumbs of the commies! The communal board is ridiculous. GAZ and electricity is a ghost. Gasoline for a penny, and diesel fuel in the fields of large tanks without protection. I remember, according to the student ticket, I flew from Samara to Leningrad in just 10 rubles! And for some reason there were no terrorists! They probably were not interested in arranging sabotage in such freedom. That's because the bastards of the commies that you did: you come to any city and Nate, at least where to work, you will not disappear with hunger, and the scoundrels from the enterprise gave coupons for free meals. And products, tasty, no words, without any flavor enhancers. Sausage, even fastidious cats and they burst with a whistle. Children were sent to pioneer camps and imagine weighed before and after rest. And it turned out after the shift the children gained a few kilograms in weight. ”

Well, yes, a comrade in the cap with illustration below, as it were, confirms that medicine in the USSR was high -quality and affordable, especially dentistry.

And this, by the way, is a remarkable feature - the publics dedicated to the USSR consist mainly of the pictures: these are old photos from which happy Soviet people, Soviet posters, portraits of leaders and other Soviet celebrities smile, as well as demotivators on the topic “how good it was and how bad is then”. True, among all this visual holiday of life, you will not find photographs of either the victims of Stalinist repressions, or cold barracks in the construction of the BAM.

The beloved leader of each Skokodracher, of course, is Stalin. After all, he "accepted the country with Sohu, but left with a nuclear bomb." Without this phrase, which is stubbornly attributed to Winston Churchill and to which he, of course, never said, no self -respecting public of the adherents of the scoop can do. Stalin also won the war and in general, did not sleep, thought about the people. Guess who is in second place in this chart?

Lavrenty Pavlovich, of course. That's who is a real hero, one might say, mind, honor and conscience. They also love Brezhnev - for stability - and Lenin, they especially love Lenin when they demolish the next monument in Ukraine.

And whom do the SOCTRES do not like? And they, of course, do not like Khrushchev, because he slandered Stalin and, in general, a weakness and Gorbachev, because, yes, yes, it was-"ruined the great country." If you blind from all the adherents of these publics of one collective character and send it to a gestalt-therapist, the verdict will most likely be from the category “does not want to bear responsibility for his own actions and the future, and therefore longing for a strong figure of his father, which would direct him and relieve the need to show his own will.” Although, this is all, of course, speculation, speculation. Sometimes, however, the reverence for the “strong hand” of the Soviet state takes completely comic forms. For example, a comrade is quite approved.

Even in the Sectorcrackers sect, Soviet artists/scientists/generals are very fond of, however, they are remembered very selectively. For example, Lidia Ruslanova: that they sang well and that the people loved her-they remember, and that she served for “anti-Soviet propaganda” for five years-for some reason they missed it.

However, the ideas about the history of adherents are generally somewhat peculiar. For example, they believe that the USSR had never attacked anyone in his history, but exclusively defended himself from the Nazis, imperialists and other reptiloids. Tanks in Prague? What are the tanks in Prague?

The main fetishes of the Soviets: Cosmos (and nothing that Korolev beat and tortured in the Lubyanka), the army (not counting the penal battalions and sending people who survived captivity to the camps), “the best education in the world” (about the denial of genetics and the meaningless gambling of Marxism-Leninism also do not like to remember) and the notorious “real sausage” (for which, for a word, for a word. The queues of many hours stood, but this is all, of course, insignificant details). There are also various examples of the ingenuity of the Soviet man who actually show all the poverty and the wretchedness of his life, but no one thinks about it.

Especially touched by sighs in wonderful hairstyles that Soviet women made themselves "without any hairdressers." Do you want me to tell you how all this was done? In order for a high hairstyle to hold, an empty tin can stick under the basis, and instead of hair polish, which, of course, was a terrible deficit, Soviet fashionistas used water with sugar or beer. Touching, right?

In the deification of the scoop, adherents sometimes reach completely absurd statements. For example, who, in your opinion, was sitting in Soviet prisons? And I will tell you - all honest and fair people.

And what kind of cinema they shot, the Americans were fucking. True, many of these films went to shelves for decades and did not reach the viewer, but, as they say, the forest is chopped - the chips fly.

The ideas about the economy of the co-focus are the most children: if something cost 10 rubles, it means it was cheap. How much was the salary of an engineer at the same time - the information in the world of the adherent of the scoop is superfluous.

Anyway, who needs these engineers? A man who waves a hammer is more needed by default than thinking his head.

Sockery , as it is easy to guess, for the most part terrible retrograde and very miss at times when there were no all these stupids of your Internet and diapers either.

There are in communities dedicated to the USSR and their city crazy people who write such comments:

And they draw these pictures:

And yes, all these are also reasons for pride.

Among other things, in communities with a sufficient number of subscribers, there is also their own “advertising”. Here:

In the Soviet Union, no doubt, there was a lot of good things, as in any country in any era. That's just the adherents of the Sex of the Socherocerors that are nostalgic for the Union, for some reason forget that 5 kopecks had to go for sausage (and sometimes fly) to Moscow. There was no mass terror in their world, and repression - instruments of “effective management”. For some reason, they do not mention the black “funnels” and night arrests, the “visiting” visas, processes over people of creative professions for “parasitism” and over the dudes for “anti-Soviet”. If you ask the Adept of the Stock: “And what about Gulag? (with a shot in Novocherkassk, “enemies of the people”, orphanages for children “enemies of the people”, “doctors' affairs”, and everyone who does not answer the concept of the sunny USSR, most likely, he will prove to you that there was nothing of this, these are all the machinations of the Americans, and if it was, Stalin was not a fool, then it was necessary for universal happiness. In the country that we have gone.
