"That is, there are no patriots in your class?"

The director of the school from the Bryansk region talks with students about Navalny, Putin and geopolitics. Decoding

In the Bryansk region, the school principal had a conversation with students about Alexei Navalny. The reason was that one of the schoolchildren signed up for a rally following the investigation of the Corruption Fund about the “secret empire” of Dmitry Medvedev; He was called to the police. Medusa publishes a complete decoding of the recording of the conversation posted in the Navalny team.

Presumably, the conversation takes place in Pogarskaya School No. 1 . In the video, a woman speaks of herself in the third person and thus seems to Kira Petrovna (as the school principal is called), and also addresses the teacher Raisa Alexandrovna (as the name of the teacher of social studies in this school).

Director: Raisa Alexandrovna, can I say? Those who were interested in the activities of Navalny. Okay, he suggests lowering our current elite; Say: “There is no corruption” and so on. What specific actions does he offer? Gather for a rally? To say, what kind of bastard is he?

Pupil 1: He just wants to get answers. He shot a video on Medvedev, and he wants to get answers from power.

Director: So what?

Pupil 1: And the authorities are silent.

Director: No, wait. You are shooting a video about Kira Petrovna, write that she is so-and-so, she does not follow her cockroaches run around her school; Gather and require an answer. Do you think I'll go to talk to you?

Pupil 2: No.

Director: And he will not go! It's funny! The political program is specific actions: to strengthen the economy, the development of some plans. What he does is provocation pure water. Do you understand? You still do not understand this. We now have a very unstable economic situation, let's say directly. Economic pit. On the basis of what? You studied social studies and so on. You know that we have an economic blockade, in fact, in the country. Well, I want to hear your knowledge: what is happening now?

Pupil 2: Crisis.

Director: Crisis what caused?

Inexorably.

Pupil 2: Sanctions, European Union, all this blockade.

Director: by whom, again? European Union, right? That is, we have a very stable and very strong policy of our leader now. He has a very high rating in the world arena. Due to what? Due to foreign policy. The domestic policy, of course, is weak. Why? But because there is no money. And now we feel it, first of all ...

Pupil 2: What foreign policy do we have? Against us America, against us Europe.

Director: And as a result, tell me? Why?

Student 2: because of the Crimea that we took his type.

Director: Do you think it is bad?

Teacher: Did we select him? There is a referendum ...

Inexorably.

Director: Okay, tell me what happened from your point of view. I even want to know. Tell me, maybe I don’t know some side.

Pupil 2: Well, why did the sanctions against us?

Director: You just answered your question.

Teacher: For the manifestation of power. Because they showed power.

Pupil 2: because of the Crimea.

Director: Do you know why ... And because of what the war began in Ukraine in general?

Pupil 2: Well, because of the revolution ...

Director: Because of what?

Pupil 2: change of power.

Director: Ah, boy, you don’t read anything and do not know anything. You have very superficial knowledge. Why did this whole conflict happen? Why did America get there?

Pupil 2: So she did not fit openly.

Inexorably.

Director: Did Crimea take it and went where? And how did America react to this?

Pupil 2: Have you seen American troops in Ukraine there?

Director: Have you seen Russian troops in Ukraine?

Pupil 2: Yes. Video walk, you can’t imagine.

Director: Video is a production, first of all.

Teacher: And do not believe ...

Inexorably.

Pupil 2: I heard a lot of information that friends there are some people ...

Director: Guys, I understand that you are one -sidedly looking at this problem. And you do not have the latitude of the political horizons. A very narrow problem: you saw Navalny, watched his video, everything, you think so - you don’t have your own opinion on this score, only what is imposed on you. Sometimes you use unverified and even, one might say, provocative sources.

Teacher: Like puppets ...

Pupil 2: And if our opinion coincides with his opinion?

Director: Do you have an opinion? You read it. I put you on ensuring that you look not only at these ... If they say that yes, it’s bad, look at other sources.

Teacher: Any fact question any fact.

Pupil 2: So we are not the only source.

Director: Well, you, apparently, look, in one direction.

Pupil 1: So our television shows only what is beneficial to the state ...

Director: Are you not listening to the Voice of America?

Pupil 1: We will not show us something else.

Director: I realized that we somehow incorrectly raised your civil position. From the point of view of citizenship, you have a big minus. That is, there are no patriots in your class, right?

Student: What does it mean to be a patriot? Is this the power to support?

Director: And I told Nikita ...

Teacher: I apologize, please organize a group and do a subbotnik on your street.

Director: Guys, raise your hands, how many of you are engaged in volunteering?

Silence.

Director: Why was volunteering created? Here is your civic position! But do not look high at Putin and Medvedev. Look at our area.

Pupil 2: But volunteering is organized by United Russia, right? Supported?

Director: Yes.

Pupil 2: Well, we are against United Russia.

Laughter.

Pupil 2: You understand.

Teacher: Why are you talking from the plural - we?

Pupil 2: Raise your hands who are against United Russia.

Pupil 1: I am against.

Voices of different people: That's it? All?

Pupil 2: We are against United Russia.

Director: And for what?

Pupil 1: For justice.

Director: What is justice?

Student: What we do not have.

Student 1: Justice is when the authorities care about people, and not just about themselves. About ordinary citizens, not about their millions. Many people want to live in a free state, in a free country ...

Director: So you think that with the advent of Putin and Medvedev, life in the country worsened?

Pupil 1: No, they just stayed, they stayed there.

Pupil 2: Yes.

Director: And you lived in some other era, I probably missed something? With whom did you live well? Has you get worse under Putin and Medvedev?

Pupil 2: We studied history.

Director: Naturally.

Pupil 2: Well.

Director: What - well? I ask you: specifically to you, at what ruler did you live well? What - well?

Pupil 2: We have one ruler in essence.

Director: You said it got worse. And you did not live in the 1990s. When each person had, forgive me, cold weapons, firearms, and there was lawlessness in the country. And at that time I studied at the institute! That after eight in the evening it was scary to go out into the street. You have not seen this.

Pupil 2: Do you want this again?

Teacher: You want it!

Pupil 2: Now they have been put on a person for anything. They took it to the police.

Director: This is a civil war.

Pupil 2: This is a mess.

Director: That's right, lawlessness, because what is any rally and any split to power?

Teacher: to the political crisis, and then the civil war.

Director: And then the Civil War. Fratricide.

Teacher: Do you want how in Ukraine, how did we have in 17?

Pupil 2: We do not want such power.

Teacher: Tell me, can you really do it now? How?

Pupil 2: Well, just get together.

Teacher: so what?

Pupil 2: The crowd will be.

Teacher: crowd. And what, and what next?

Pupil 2: People at least see. They will see that there are citizens.

Teacher: Citizens are a handful of people who will be led by adults who have nothing to lose, so to speak.

Director: Guys, we tried, in any case, in some ways to warn you and warn you. What is now beginning is called a polemic, and no one needs it. You need it anyway now - I advise you, I do not insist, but I advise you to listen to what we said, draw certain conclusions. And I think, first of all, about your future.

Teacher: Remember that this is fraught.

Director: I cursed with these representatives of the authorities. I tried to somehow protect Maxim. I said that this is just a youthful trick, no one needs. Believe me, he is not bad now. Very hard. I do not want any of you to get into a similar situation. All that you say here at the desk is empty words. Go, I repeat once again, become people and achieve. It will be right.

Teacher: Guys, I ask again. Think, think ... Guys, where will we start? From assessments or with d/s?
