Forgive Donbass?

An interesting American series "Last Ship" walks on the Internet. The essence of the series is simple: the next virus attacked the world, from which billions of people have changed. Governments fell, power passes from gang to gang. Of course, the series has "good" and "bad." Good - they are on the ship of the US Navy, which will plow seas and oceans. On the ship is a courageous crew and a doctor who is trying to create a vaccine in order to save the rest of humanity. However, the world of "bad" is much more diverse. Here are the "Russians" who are trying to get the vaccine in order to exclusively produce it and earn billions on the national grief. Further, some “British” try to take the vaccine, who, on the contrary, want to destroy it because they collect the “superhuman” races - those who are genetically resistant to this damned virus, and they want to doom all the others to death. In general, a high -quality adventure series, where the "good" in every series win bad. And how else!

And there would be a series of ordinary "ralevkekhoi" if it were not for the moments that show how Americans solve some very difficult issues. For example, they catch another villain who organized an almost whole palliative state within America. He has a certain ideology, and followers throughout the country, and weapons. They provide a fierce resistance to the crew of the ship - they kill and explode the "good". That is, such a state in the state, such hybrid separatism is hybrid, because on deception.

And so the brave sailors catch this chief villain, and the official president himself interrogates him. And at the end of the interrogation, the president and captain of the ship say: "Such an offer - you must contact your yours and order them to lay down a weapon. And you immediately need to go to a peaceful life in order to restore the destroyed country with everyone." Well, of course, the separatist-terrorist creaks his teeth and refuses, but here it is not his answer, but the proposal itself. Rather, how it is presented. It is known that the series uses all sorts of cliches and standards, starting from the square courageous face of the ship commander, the mandatory presence among the actors of the Chinese, African-Americans, a cheerful fat man and a young sailor. That is, everything is done so that it does not cause questions. The same applies to ideas - they must be run -in and familiar, so as not to slow down the action. And this proposal is just to lay down a weapon and start building a peaceful life, apparently quite standard for a country where they understand that people can have their own rules of life, their authorities, heroes and their vision of the future. All this is inside one state.

Of course, analogies lie on the surface. Of course, the conversation is about the model of the return of Donbass to Ukraine. It seems that the question is primary, but how to return it - peacefully, by military means or Donbass will free the Martians, for example. However, this is not the most important thing, oddly enough. The main thing is what to do with the people of Donbass, who speaks in Russian, looks at Kiselev-Solovyov and, in fact, turned out to be a collaborator? What to do with this people when the Ukrainian flag calls over Donbass? How to perceive those who did not run away and remained to live with the Ukrainian authorities?

The first option is like enemies and traitors, for they, for the most part, easily agreed to transfer to Russia not only themselves, but also their territory. They did not arrange a “liberation Maidan”, beat the prisoners of the Ukrainian military, in general, performed actions that can be safely called criminal. But there is another side. Take the Great October Revolution - did the whole country commit it, the whole people? No, a bunch of scumbags gathered and tilted the country for eighty years. This paradox - a miserable minority can twist the majority, waving a random pistol - has long been described in political science. The famous thesis from the "Wedding in Robin" also acts in the people's brains: "The Reds are robbed yesterday, today the white robs." This, familiar, has not been canceled. The Soviet people are poisoned by paternalism (the usual thought sits in the brains): we do not solve anything, all decides power; Therefore, we support her, and the authorities will solve our problems. So it was. The glorious Donbass population is submissive and passive, because everything around is "Soviet", all is not his. No one defended this land with weapons in his hands as his own. Nobody felt either one or this power of his own. No one asked the authorities where the taxes were going, because no one pays taxes.

A large part of the population is concentrated in the east of the country, which not only does not like Ukraine, but will never love

What to do in this case? Of course, the first thought is about revenge, about the consideration of Donbass pensioners under the lupus of lustration. To arrange rampant interrogations according to the type "Where were you in 1917?" It would be nice to activate the usual denunciation practice for a Soviet person - to call to write to the “organs” of pisks that identify the anti -Ukrainian element. Here, for example, an old grandfather with a key hobbies into the store, what is the only soul holding on. A drop hangs on the nose, faded eyes look towards the cemetery. But it was at that moment when the grandfather takes the seller the usual buckwheat - the comfort of the pensioner, flies up the “funnels” and the grandfather is taken under the white hands, or rather, under the white crutches. For our grandfather was a gunner in the "DPR", in the morning he prays to the portrait of Putin and, as reported in the anonymous, spat twice towards the complete works of the great Taras Shevchenko.

But the problem of this excellent scenario of revenge is broken about the fact that there are hundred percent per hundred percent of such grandfathers in the Donbass, if not one hundred and twenty. So what to do? It turns out there is a second option. It is extremely cynical, because it is based on the fact that a large part of the population is concentrated in the east of the country, which not only does not like Ukraine, but will never love. To death, they will love those who took away the Crimea, who spent a fake and illegal pseudo -referendum. They will love Solovyov-Kiselev and wait for Ukraine to stop, so that the Savior Putin comes and took them to Russia, which, as you know, is a country of milk and honey, a high pension and life-giving medical care.

So, to this cynicism from the side of grandfathers-grandmothers, you need to answer simply and cynically-do not give a damn about these Putin-like dreams. Do not reproach, do not arrange purges, but just do not give a damn. And somehow imperceptibly, very soon, lovely Donbass pensioners will get used to feeding from a new hand. And if the dose of feed (pensions) is increased, then it can spit and shudder with the word "Ukraine" will be less. Hard? Yes! Cruel? Very cruel! This is true? Unfortunately, yes!

It is necessary, like the Americans, to learn how to not notice, forgive and offer to go together. Someone will go sincerely, someone is after pension, someone simply because there is no other way. But in the place of these, who will not learn to love the real country in return for the fantasized, then others will appear, young, who will build the country together - without a stick, lustration and drooping. Apparently, a strong country can afford forgiveness, condescension, can offer to start from scratch.

Of course, if it is a strong and self -respecting country.
