They are attracted to the parasite

The question is impossible, the question is unrequited, the question is meaningless: what would Brodsky say about the accession of Crimea to Russia? Of those issues that can be attributed to a well -known kind of Pushkin Studies. Say, "October has already come" - this is a premonition of the revolution, however, comrades, but not at all about autumn. You can’t ask the poet, and we are free to understand him to the extent of his corruption and political addictions.

However, the one whom Joseph Alexandrovich called his friend and teacher, Evgeny Rhine, was already played into this wild game. In the spring of the year before last, a friend was asked about annexation - and the teacher led: "He would certainly be extremely welcomed by the annexation of Crimea ..." Crimea should be Russian, "he told me." Alas, the notes of these historical conversations have not been preserved, the reputation of a friend is such that it could have ravaged. And what is allowed to be the robbery of the Rhine, it is probably also permitted by us, ordinary mortals, the admirers of Brodsky, contemporaries of the Russian-Ukrainian war, to which the great poet, fortunately, did not live to see.

We guess on this suddenly boiling coffee grounds.

Political Brodsky despised the Chekists, and it can be assumed that the coming to Putin’s power, his way of government, words and deeds would cause the poet a feeling of persistent disgust. However, among the fans of the current Russian president, we have seen and are still observing such cultural figures that it would be better to refrain from predictions. Especially in the subjunctive mood that history does not tolerate. Vladimir Vladimirovich knows how to captivate them and recruit them, artists, even the most sustainable and dissident and dissented in former times, who would have thought ... He is well trained in those schools where they are trained to work with people. God news, as if Brodsky reacted to Putin.

A resident of the two empires, he perceived our war in Afghanistan as a monstrous crime and even praised those who, without raising his eyes, went to an abortion in the sixties, saving the Fatherland from shame! " The shame of the latest fratricidal massacre he could have perceived even more acutely, if not for one biographical detail. If it weren’t for the verses that he announced once, having pretended a strange remark: “Now I will read the poem that you may not like much, but nevertheless ...” I mean, of course, Brodsky’s poetic response “to the independence of Ukraine”.

You can’t dismiss them from them, from these verses, extremely stringent and offensive towards the non -lace. So it is not surprising that the Russian national-patriotic community has long lifted them to the shield along with an angry lyrical chainist hero. Having sucked towards him, these guys now find an excuse for their New Russia at the former cosmopolitan and Rusophoba Brodsky.

Well, he gave them a reason, and then it remains only to guess about the reasons that prompted the poet to mark the rhyme "eagles, Cossacks, hetmans, Vertukhaev." Still noting that Brodsky said goodbye to Ukraine, yes, he had gone in the end, but did not call for murders. For he, a boyfriend from the besieged Leningrad, hated a captive war with all his heart, and I would still venture to claim that Joseph Alexandrovich would be horrified by what was happening in Ukraine, where "Zakharchenko was beating with Semenchenko, according to another poet.

He said, Brodsky, that life does not come down to the choice between good and evil, but usually has to choose between evil and smaller. Crimea in Russia at the cost of many thousands of lives of Russian -speaking people and a million refugees - such a choice would hardly have arranged a poet. On the contrary, Crimea in Ukraine, where you can come without visas, where they do not plant and kill the Crimean Tatars - such an “evil” might seem acceptable to him.

But what is completely no doubt, it is that the poet Joseph Brodsky would stand up for the poet Alexander formerly. Yesterday morning they came to him again with a search . Again, they robbed by seizing the computer and all other carriers of information and recordings. Again subjected to interrogation in the framework of the next case. Now he is attracted to Brodsky, that is, for the polemic answer to the Nobel laureate, executed in about the same manner as the sensational rebuke of the "Ukrainians", but the Russian poet Thalo turns to compatriots.

Moreover, this case should be recognized unique in the biography of Brodsky, equally lifetime and posthumous. For the storage of his poems or for the preparation of underground collections of Soviet citizens, it used to be punished. For boorish criticism in Soviet newspapers, they only praised and awarded - as, for example, that immortalized his name Lerner's informer. Joseph was judged and referred by the Tuneyanard, and here one cannot help but recall another character, without which vaguration as a science does not exist - Judge Savelyev. But in order for the investigators to look and find Kramol from the poet who intended to argue with Joseph Alexandrovich regarding the Russian-Ukrainian affairs ... The memorable Rhine would probably not remember anything like this.

Nevertheless, the search was held, things are selected, the case is sewn, according to the famous article 282 of the Criminal Code, and if Brodsky were alive, he would probably not remain indifferent to this event. He would show solidarity with the persecuted poet. Outraged and indignant. And also experiencing heart pain due to the fact that his poem turned out to be soldered to criminal proceedings, albeit not directly. It is possible that he would also be ashamed of those of his verses that served as a source of inspiration for the former German teacher from the village of Kroma, Oryol region. Maybe he would have renounced them, who knows. However, we will not guess on this subject.
