Igor Yakovenko: "The Russian Pen-Center has split"

“Remember Bulgakov’s description of the mass-lithium in Master and Margarita? And the play of Voinovich and Gorin“ Cat Home, Middle Fullness ”Remember? These texts are a good help to understand what happened in the Russian Pen-Center in mid-December 2016 and ended yesterday, January 10, 2017,” writes Columonist of the daily journal, due to exceptions with exceptions with exceptions with exception From the organization of Sergei Parkhomenko and the follow-up of the leadership of the Russian Pen-Center with a voluntary exit from his ranks of the poet Leo Rubinstein and a number of other members.

"The writer Alexander Ilichevsky left the Russian Pen-Center, almost silently. He simply said that he was coming out. Grigory Chkhartishvili explained his parting with the Russian Pen-Center by the fact that he (the Pen-Center, and not Chkhartishvili) is not what he gives out. Since the tasks of the world penalty-to fight for the freedom of expression and the protection of writers who are subjected to persecution. The Pen -Center does not do this, which means that I have nothing to do with it, ”the writer Chartishvili said in his statement.

Another 47 members of the Russian Pen-Center announced the termination of any relationship with the current executive committee of this organization and demanded an urgent convocation of an extraordinary general meeting. Among them: Alexander Arkhangelsky, Mikhail Berg, Alexander Gelman, Denis Dragunsky, Timur Kibirov, Vladimir Sorokin and others.

Protocol N12 of the Executive Committee of the Russian Pen-Center dated December 28, 2016 will best say the reasons for the split. In a paragraph called "On members of the Pen-Center, who grossly violated the charter" for repeated violations of the charter sentenced: G. Petukhov to suspend membership for 1 (one) year for attempts to disrupt the meeting and insulting writers; M. Vishnevetskaya to a strict warning for tendential video and its distribution. And, finally, to the highest extent, to the exception, S. Parkhomenko was sentenced. For provocative activities. "

“Listen to:“ Blogger Sergei Parkhomenko, a pupil of the Komsomol and having a “provocateur with swamp” in human rights circles, joined our writer's organization only to destroy it from the inside, turning it, contrary to the charter and the charter, into an opposition party ... Now he lives in America, but from there continues to lie on the radio. ”

"There are five denunciations in the mean lines at once, and in different organizations." Blogger Parkhomenko "is to the writer, they say, this is not a writer, but an impostor." Pupil of the Komsomol "is for the liberal audience of Sergei Parkhomenko to know who they read and listen." The provocateur with Bolotnaya "is civilian and political activists and human rights activists, Among which Parkhomenko gained considerable weight, including his work in the Dissernet project.

And finally, the most beautiful, crown of informational skill. Here it is: "Lives in America, but from there continues to lie on the radio." It is easy to combine the two sentences standing nearby in order to figure out that this very so-called blogger penetrated into the writer's organization on the instructions of the Sami-Know-Bi-Ssha. ”

"Sergey Parkhomenko is a sin to complain, because the efforts of the Executive Committee of the Pen-Center, he ended up in a good company. In 1946, after the report of Zhdanov and the decree" On the magazines "Zvezda and Leningrad from the Union of Writers of the USSR, M. Zoshchenko and A. Akhmatov were excluded. In 1957, Pasternak was excluded from the joint venture for the publication in Italy from the joint venture. Then Sinyavsky with Daniel, Korzhavina with Solzhenitsyn, Galich and Erofeev. So Sergey Parkhomenko can be congratulated on enrollment in such a row and wish to correspond and not be too embarrassed. "

"... The chances of overcoming the split in the future, I believe, are equal to zero. People who have written and agreed with the content of the N12 protocol, are not only with Rubinstein, Akunin and Parkhomenko, but also with the Archangel, Dragu and Sorokin. This means that the exit for everyone with this protocol stylistics and ethics of the demolition does not agree. One.

As for the Russian Pen-Center, this is already a matter of the reputation of the international pen club. A good option if, having understood the situation, they are simply released from scammers who pretend to be human rights defenders. If not ... This is not the first international organization in the history of which there are shameful pages. "
