It is strange to think about it, but if the plane had not fallen, we would have seen other pictures in these New Year's days. From there, from Syria, and not from here, from Sochi. The choir named after Alexandrov would perform a "sacred war." Dr. Lisa would give medications and care for patients. Slugging, compared with the current discussions on social networks, dedicated to singers, orchestrandants and doctors, would have come down to how to perceive their friendly visit. Is this an important patriotic action or immoral window dressing? However, the "sacred war" - it is in Syria "Holy War", a great song, and the wounded must be nursed, which is arguing about. That is, there is something to argue about, but everyone flew, everyone is healthy, except for those who died under bombs and mortar fire, and music plays so fun, cheerfully, and I want to live!

That was the plan. Beautiful shots in the record, or even direct inclusion. The spectacular end of the year, such as the closure of the Olympics in Sochi, after which it will begin to know what, but so far we have a holiday.

Instead, candles and flowers on the Black Sea coast. Everyday, hourly news about the work of divers. About raised bodies, about fragments of the aircraft, about fragments of bodies. Press releases from the Ministry of Defense, from the Ministry of Transport, from the Ministry of Health. Versions, versions, versions and fortune telling about which one is worse and for whom.

Terrorist attack? Technical malfunction? The human factor? The combination of the last two? Or the factor "ornithological", as one official put it? Clear business, this version could be most arranged by the authorities, unlike the rest, especially from the terrorist, which is “canceled”, then again discussed as one of the main ones.

It is strange to think about it, but the Cold Civil War, as the observers and individual participants call network showdowns, verbally crippled during the battle, would concern some other objects. Since hatred bubbles by itself, and any Dorogomilovsky court of Moscow, busy with the problems of the origin of life in other galaxies and the legal consequences of its emergence, is able to cause a storm in Runet. If the plane had not fallen, we would not discuss the dedicated to the plane crashes of the Lynski and Arkady Babchenko or caricatures published in France.

But the plane fell, and this endlessly sad event gains understandable symbolism. The tragedy fails. The tragedy with accessible means explains to us what was delayed last year and what to expect in the following. The tragedy sticks through the windows with a stick. The tragedy is repeated again and again - for the most stupid and heartless, for the Russian authorities, and for the most obedient and confused, for Russian citizens who again beat the records of loyalty to their superiors.

The tragedy is trying to reach them all. Those in power and the power of the supporting. Her voice already reaches thundering octaves, and in a confused, miserable, helpless speech of the tolerant national leader, when he begins to talk about oil prices for other arguments (they say, “prices worse”, and life, prefer to yourself, is better), some completely unimaginable notes are heard. However, the hopes that Russians will be able to appreciate the author’s comments is not enough, and this means that the hostage mechanism is still valid. The seventeenth year in a row.

Another psychological design based on a highlighted complex of loneliness in a hostile world is also functioning. Most Russian citizens, according to surveys, will not be able to comprehend for a long time what their state has done in a neighboring country and far beyond its borders. And the vague sense of guilt is supplanted by a sense of mortal resentment, when those to whom they caused the pain, whom they despised and blamed, mockered over their pain. So among the inhabitants of the besieged fortress, the feeling of deep correctness in relation to the ruthless world is strong and affirmed.

Agitprop uses these incidents to the fullest. Nebes in Ukraine are gloating, mocking our grief? Therefore, we punished them correctly, selecting Crimea and killing in the Donbass. Charlie Hebdo caricaturists laugh at the dead chorus and regret that there was no Putin in the fallen plane? Ramzan Kadyrov with Konashenkov and Yarova will find very accurate words that will respond with suffering and anger in the hearts of compatriots. The ends are also confused in these subjects, but who is interested in the details ... And, in good conscience, French satirists these days really helped citizens of the Russian Federation establish themselves in the thought that in the West there are only enemies who can only mock Russian grief. Well, yes, this is the genre of brutal political caricature, for which there is nothing forbidden to both the saint, and artists need to observe the laws of the genre, but today these guys perfectly worked on Putin. Free or involuntarily.

The year ends in agony, and the ghostly choir is catching it, and almost nothing surprises. New American sanctions? Sending from the United States Russian diplomats with a number of 35 souls? If we take into account the nature of Washington’s relationship with Moscow, it is surprising except that this happened only now. The year ends predictably, one might say, at the peak of the Cold War, but it’s better not to speak like that, because it is easy to make a mistake. The year ends badly, there is nowhere worse, but even here it is like not to miss your expert assessments, charging readers with stupid optimism. With coming!
