Sergey Loiko: Malbruka's campaign

Passions do not subside on the officially declared decision of the writer-fontovik (or rather, the writer-amino) Zakhar Prilepin to become a “commissar in the dusty helmet” in the battalion of patriots who are ready to give life and carry death for the “Russian world” in the vastness of Ukrainian Donbass. After that, a prose writer, a multi -member and laureate of numerous awards, the most recent of which was the Russian Government Prize in the field of culture for 2016, the size of one million rubles, went to the Donbass. To prove the seriousness of these intentions, viewers could see, like a writer in a “camouflage”, armed with a TT pistol, walked with a decisively unheated look before the construction of volunteers-content, presumably somewhere in the Donbass.

In the comedy of Nicholas Erdman, the Suicide, the plot is built around the statement of the protagonist Semen Semenovich Obokalnikov about the intention to commit suicide because of a quarrel with his wife about the Liver Sausage. Podkakalnikov writes a note in which he asks no one in his death not to blame. The rest of the characters during the play persuade him not to do this, and if he decided, then do for a good deed. “So it’s impossible, a citizen of the sub-shutters,” Aristarcho Dominikovich Grand-Skubik persuades him. “Well, who needs it, please tell me,“ don’t blame anyone. ”You, on the contrary, must blame and blame, you shoot. You shoot. Miraculously. Great. Shoot your health. But shoot, please, as a social activist.”

Here is Prilepin: decided to take accounts with himself, with the writer, as a "social activist." He announced the crusade for the "Russian city" Kyiv. Why he called on his army Pushkin, Lermontov and Tolstoy. “What did Lermontov and Tolstoy do with us?” Square once and answered his question in one interview with Prilepin. “They served in Russian special forces.”

“... war is a more important thing than the dog’s wedding of our literature,” he quotes Pushkin Pushkin Prilepin as he who went to the Turkish war, who was going to the Turkish war, writes to the Turkish war. But this quote is actually nothing more than a fake. “When such tragedies are in the eyes, there is no time to think about the dog’s comedy of our literature,” Pushkin really wrote in a letter to Vyazemsky in 1831 about cholera riots. But not about the war.

Many consider Prilepin a talented writer. This is a matter of taste, and in this case it is not about literature, since Prilepin is an even more talented imitator and provocateur. Why did you need to excite the public and lie not only about Pushkin, but also about the trip to the Donbass, if on February 15 a concert in Volgograd has, on the 16th, a performance in Saratov, on the 17th-in Volsk, on the 18th-in Penza, and then presentations in Chelyabinsk, Moscow and further on the list? The Nazis and Bandera in these points we have inhabited with you should tremble, pack their suitcases and run away from the punishing hand of the miter's political officer?

Why is this all this comedy in the spirit of Podkakalnikov? Is it really just in order to focus on their new book “Sighlight. Officers and militias of Russian literature”? In this platoon, by the way, where the author himself acts as the commissar, they bravely fight against France, Turkey, Sweden, Pugachev and other enemies of the Russian world such classics as Derzhavin, Denis Davydov, Chaadaev, Pushkin ...

In 2010, Prilepin demanded a change in the Putin system. What was more in these calls? Beliefs or provocations? The provocation remained. But the beliefs during the play changed. In 2013, Prilepin released the anti-Semitic “letter of Stalin”, putting the line of the poet-fontovik Boris Slutsky for conspiracy by the epigraph. “You have saved the life of our family,” Zakhar Prilepin, Evgeny Lavlinsky, in the world of the peoples, addresses all the Russian Jews to the father of the peoples. “If it weren’t for you, our grandfathers and great -grandfathers would have changed their own in gas chambers, neatly placed from Brest to Vladivostok, and our question would be finally resolved in seven layers of Russian people to save our lives. When we are talking about ourselves that we also fought, we only fought in Russia, with Russia, on the ridge of Russian people ... You are a different reference point.

The main question is this: is this action a personal initiative of Prilepin, or is it launched from above by a state that timely provided the writer for material assistance in the amount of one million rubles?

About the war “on the ridge of Russian people” and about the “town consciousness”, the aminic writer, but then answered the “poet-validarub” Igor Irteniev: “This is who, BL ..., fought on the ridge of the Russian people? Boris Slutsky, who would turn over in the coffin, learning that you would decorate your Pasquilus with an epigraph from him? The front with a volunteer, with two heavy injuries, who fought in the Great Patriotic War?

It is noteworthy that today, among those who supported the decision of the political officer (even if all this show is nothing more than their own PR), was the poetess Yunna Moritz, the author of the song about the rubber hedgehog, who "walked and whistled with a hole in the right side." “In the light of such an enthusiastic, domestic and international hatred of Russia - Russophobes!” Zakhar Prilepin is magnificent, he “goes to you!” To the war, risking his own life, and the battalions of volunteers will follow him, ”Moritz wrote on her page on Facebook. It is important to recall that in addition to a brilliant hedgehog with a hole, and a pony that “runs around in a circle” every evening before the bed of our children, this poetess is famous for another verse: “How little Jew in Russia remains, how much Jew has divorced ...” This, of course, is not about Prilepin, but, in general ... in general ... in general ... in general ...

So, in the middle of the ringing February cold, riot police and writer Prilepin, both or two, go to the Donbass, where the political instructor for almost two years has been an adviser to the former-electromechanical technician of the sixth category, and now the supreme commander in chief of the armed forces of the unrecognized “DPR”. Or are we already confused: one (Lavlinsky) for the war of the Donbass, and the other (Prilepin) for a concert in Saratov?

The main question is this: is this action a personal initiative of Prilepin, or is it launched from above by a state that timely provided the writer for material assistance in the amount of one million rubles? Givi went to his Valhalla with Motorola, whom Prilepin idolized - as the true knights of the "Russian world" to such an extent that he himself is now ready to replace his deceased fighting friends in the telek. Yes, they were indispensable in the hot phase of the armed confrontation in eastern Ukraine, where Russian soldiers and officers were actually fought (and now fighting), and holy fools with Motorola flashed on the screens. It is difficult to imagine that it was impossible to choose, even among the rows of windows and supermarket guards, more decent characters.

But this was the whole point. Dozens, if not hundreds, thousands of the same restless carriers of the nervous system of a generally accepted type, in Alcoholic T-shirts, with a can of beer in one hand and a strand of hair of a beaten spouse in another, every day saw their reflection on the television screen. Motorola addressed them daily from the screen in a simple, affordable language: “Boys, you are nothing! But you can become everything! Come here! You will be heroes like me. In“ camouflage ”, with awards, with a large pistol, on a good car. You will raise money in a lightweight. And there will be nothing for you for it.” And all these domestic Givi and Motorols scratched their turnips, went to Donbass to turn into cannon firing.

The less in the Kremlin they understood what to do with Donbass, the faster this stream ran out. Apparently, they nevertheless decided at the very top that there was no point in continuing the war further, and it is very costly. In the "DPR" we need new personalities with which Kyiv, according to the Kremlin, could conduct a dialogue. I need a change of image. Loadlorians played a role. They were cleaned, released a clearing for new romantics. Here, Bairon of the "Russian world" Zakhar Prilepin came to her-after all, not balls with a balalaika and a machine gun, but an amonian writer with a book and TT. However, Prilepin, armed to the teeth, went to Saratov, and not to Donetsk ...

In my novel “Airport” about the war in the Donbass, based on real facts, there are two characters whose prototypes will not hide, Givi and Motorola became. In 2015, I predicted fate literally to the details. Someone can like the novel, someone-no, but in this sense it turned out to be prophetic. In my new novel, which is published in May and the action of which also partially takes place in the Donbass, there is a writer named Zakharyin, soil, imperial and anti -Semite to the brain of bones. Zakharyin in the "camouflage" and with a TT pistol goes to the east of Ukraine to lead the struggle for the "Russian world". At the intersection of the open border during a gangster disassembly on a gas station, squeezed out by the "militias" from local bandits, Zakharyin receives a bullet in the forehead. This chapter was written three months ago.

In conclusion, I will give a free translation of the French soldier's song of 1709 "Malbruk Gathered on a campaign":

Malbrook gathered on a hike,
I ate sour cabbage soup,
On the campaign about ...
And he died on the same day.

Four generals
His pants carried.
And twenty -three corporals
G ... but they were shaking.

He was buried
Where there used to be a toilet.
They put it in the grave
About ... a wounded uniform.
