Out of decency

On January 26, Vice-Speaker of the State Duma and TV presenter Pyotr Tolstoy apologized for his words that the descendants of those who "jumped out of the Pale of Settlement with a revolver in 1917" are against the transfer of St. Isaac's Cathedral to the Russian Orthodox Church. However, the problem is deeper than the anti-Semitic statement of the deputy

Alexander Rubtsov, Head of the Center for the Analysis of Ideological Processes

The scandal with the vice speaker's statement about the "Pale of Settlement" is quietly fading away - even after the chairman of the Human Rights Council, Mikhail Fedotov, elegantly compared anti-Semitism with syphilis. But there is an opportunity to more calmly understand the phenomenon, in which, like a drop of water, a bunch of other rubbish is reflected.

The living naturalness of the gesture deserves attention. Everything is very organic. In such situations, “it just broke out on its own” does not speak of an accidental mistake, but of a deep conviction and a strong feeling that breaks out of the depths of the unconscious, bypassing the prohibitions, all the more obvious for an official of this rank. But recently, high-ranking rudeness with elements of shocking all the time passes, as they say, "on self-control." The scandal is inscribed in the script, since the negative resonance also works for the speaker's PR. Individual disadvantages are covered by many advantages, and the indignation of the "fifth column" means nothing in comparison with the growth of popularity in well-known circles and the masses. They will be forced to defend their own, even if they are “smeared” with a completely strained version: he is talking about “convicts”. Anti-Semitism is unacceptable, but it was not him, which means that it can continue to be so.

Gradually, forms of emphatically brutal self-expression become the norm and turn into a mania of imitation of the commander-in-chief, who at one time was noted for the idea of ​​“soaking in the toilet”. Now the students are trying to outdo the teacher down to the "morons" and "scum" who "burn in hell." An epidemic of incontinence.

In this extreme post-modern aesthetic, transcendental eclecticism is striking. The vice-count, TV presenter and vice-speaker in one person protects the property rights of the Russian Orthodox Church, with which his great great-grandfather had the deepest and most dramatic spiritual and moral conflict, up to excommunication and distribution of infernal images of Leo Tolstoy burning in hellfire. There are very few such truly great conflicts in the history of world culture, they are textbook and instructive, and it is simply indecent to betray the memory of them in such an opportunistic way.

In the story of the descendant of the mirror of the Russian revolution, more general problems connected with the centenary of the October Revolution also appear. At one time, the "Free Word" club at the Union of Cinematographers discussed the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe tape "You Can't Live Like This". The author of the future film casually asked how the members of the club feel about the idea that the revolution was made by the Jews. It was carefully explained to him that this bright idea appeared only when the attitude towards the revolution deteriorated sharply. But while October was the brightest spot in Russian and entire world history (a kind of Ideal Event), no one stuttered about it either in political circles or among the broad masses of the people who unanimously celebrated the anniversary of the Uprising with paper garlands accompanied by wind marches.

But even now this idea looks more like a slander on the Russian people. If we assume that the foreigners not only made the revolution, but are also responsible for all subsequent anti-church and anti-religious atrocities, including the murders of priests, the looting and explosions of churches, mass blasphemy and malicious atheism, then the question arises.
grew, where did Lenin and Stalin get so many Jews in Holy Rus', especially after the assassination of Trotsky? If all these sacrileges were committed by the hands of the Russian people, then how weak, obedient and suggestible, stupid and gullible, not firm in faith, conscience and convictions, our tribe appears, if it was so easily turned from the path of the true by single intruders who suddenly got out of for the Pale of Settlement! Therefore, it is generally better for the spiritual servants of the regime to keep quiet about past abuses of churches and shrines.

GRADUALLY, FORMS OF EXPRESSLY BRUTAL SELF-EXPRESSION BECOME THE NORM AND TRANSITION INTO A MANIA OF IMITATION OF THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF,
AT THE TIME, WHICH WERE NOTICED BY THE IDEA "WEET IN THE LOTTATION"

By the way, the idea of ​​a special role of Jews in the revolution has another version: while the best representatives of the state-forming nation rushed through the fields on carts and chopped each other to the saddle, ordinary Jews in their shops repaired primus stoves, clothes and shoes, making a feasible contribution to providing at least some then the life of a revolutionary country.

The classic of rewriting history is the exclusion from it of the conflicting relationships between the geniuses of Russian literature and the authoritative officialdom. All of them were, to one degree or another, the Fronde, as they would say now, the “fifth column”. Surveillance, exile, excommunication, civil executions with breaking blades over their heads ... Now the peaceful, well-fed, packaged and warmed descendants of former brawlers and rebels go in formation to meetings with the highest political leadership, personally testifying to the loyalty and loyal feelings that are in their person the great Russian literature nourishes in relation to the new reigning persons.

Further, it turns out that the ancestors of the representatives of the current opposition are to blame for the persecution of the church, and not the stronghold of Stalinism, the successor of which is increasingly becoming the current regime. The symphony of Stalinism and supposedly Orthodoxy looks more and more like a betrayal of history and faith itself.

At the discussion of the report “What kind of past does the future of Russia need” (Free Historical Society with the support of the Committee of Civil Initiatives), Grigory Yudin outlined the official picture of the continuity of the invariably glorious Russian history like this: Nicholas II handed over the fatherland to Lenin with the words “Protect Russia!” - and so our leaders passed our homeland to each other with the same words, until it came to Putin, who is not going to continue the baton yet.

Finally, the idea of ​​national reconciliation, which will be promoted on the anniversary of the revolution. What this reconciliation will be, we have just been shown. Any disagreement with the decisions of the authorities is immediately rewarded with hysterical obstruction, bypassing any arguments. From the point of view of psychopathology, these are typical symptoms of "narcissistic rage", "narcissistic anger". From the point of view of ideology and politics, this is a typical "reconciliation" achieved by reducing the opposite side to zero.
