Leonid Volkov: "Welcome in 1982"

"Islam Karimov died on August 29. The State Media of Uzbekistan reported to improve the health of the president on August 30, even more improvement on August 31, and on September 1, the handshake of Dead Karimov was already so strong that he allegedly turned to the nation on the day of independence. And only on September 2, Karimov’s state suddenly became " critical " , and tomorrow morning he, according to reports on reports on reports on reports on reports. Uzbek media, it will die to be buried in his native Samarkand in the evening, ”the politician writes on Facebook .

“Why is this happening - well, it’s always difficult to die, and when you are at the same time the Soviet party bonza and the king of Islamic despotism is especially difficult. Islam requires a funeral on the day of death (before sunset); Soviet tradition requires magnificent funerals; despotism requires a speedy solution to the issue of throne offset. Putin, Nazarbayev, Xi Jinpin or who else they want to see at the funeral. Day-day will not break off and do not fly to Samarkand;

The groups of the courtiers, entering the struggle over the corpse, also need it (this can simply be appointed elections in democracy - but not in Uzbekistan). Therefore, it is necessary to construct a parallel reality in which Karimov is treated with Russian doctors and leads the celebration of Independence Days, while streets are scheduled in Samarkand and dig a grave in the old cemetery. "

"Here are the Uzbek media and lie; here is the Uzbek government and lies. It does not bother me much, let the citizens of Uzbekistan ask questions to them.

I have a citizen of Russia - a question for the Russian authorities and the media. Why do the Uzbeks lie, I realized, why should they play along with? To what? You knew that he died. Well, they could keep silent. They could give two points of view ("while the official authorities report that Karimov is recovering, a number of media claims that he died"). Why actively participate in lies? This is precisely the "Russian doctors" allegedly flew to Tashkent; It was precisely Interfax and TASS that transmitted a refutation of “rumors” about the death of the Uzbek president. What is the valor in this? Why look like idiots with the Uzbeks?

They lie, because they have forgotten how to not lie, because they cannot but build parallel worlds?

... my birthday is November 10; I was two years old a day when Brezhnev died. Dad was in Austria on an internship, and called from there relatives who gathered for a holiday. "Do you know that Brezhnev died?" - "No, it cannot be!" What was in the news in Vienna was told in Sverdlovsk only two or three days later. Welcome in 1982. "
