How a sales liberal intelligentsia is a bite
My grandmother in a communal apartment in Bolshaya Dmitrovka was tormented by the same question: what was missing Anna Karenina, she had a separate kitchen?
Years passed. For a long time there is no grandmother, no neighbor, nor "ravens" in the center of Moscow. It seemed that there was no one left who would believe the harmony of the classics with algebra housing and communal services. But the TV decided to deal with the creative intelligentsia. It was then that it turned out that the spirit of the grandmother's neighbor moved to the bodies of the exposure. The brightest of them is Vladimir Bortko. Ah, he was indignant, Bulgakov, say, was everything terrible? Yes, he lived in a two -room apartment, and the rest in the basements. And what (moving to a screech), Pasternaku was also bad? And Shostakovich, did they put him? Well done Vladimir Vladimirovich, crushed the foundations, saved Solovyov from failure. The evening with such a tempting theme was bogged down in quotes, banalities, denunciations. And only the director of the "dog heart" burned with a creative.
Along the way, it turned out to be a cardinal: the aforementioned creative intellectuals always fattened (excluding condescendingly made only for Mandelstam), and the genuine sufferers - these, current, who live in television studios. From the story of Natalia Narochnitskaya about how she went in the outcasts for ten years, but did not betray her ideals, it blew genuine, and not imaginary 37th. Even now, not being an outcast, she picks herself in the ground and rolls up cucumbers ... In general, the theme “Poet and King” in our latitudes - from the category of eternal. And the topic of condemnation of those poets who are not with the king is also from the category of eternal. Back in 1849, the official verdict in the case of Petrashevsky sounded a quote from the current talk show: "A handful of people are completely insignificant." The main thing in the indicated tradition is to regularly increase the degree of insults. Sergei Kurginyan, even on the day of the funeral service, Yevtushenko did not deny himself the pleasure of kicking the one he, Kurginyan, considers the symbol of the self -change. The great director made a scandal on Channel One, began to passionately talk about the “small poet”, turned red and ran out of the studio as the winner. A person who grabbed the “essence of time” by the apple (the so -called his movement) is always a winner.
An amazing thing: a powerful power for centuries has not tired of fighting "a handful of people completely insignificant." It would seem that this is a handful to her, the power? So Soloviev lost his dream. After Ukraine, America and Syria, the idea of the dualism of modern liberal intelligentsia is most oppressed: on the one hand, it is in opposition to power; On the other hand, it feeds from this power. Igor Volgin tried to reassure him, they say, not all of this layer was infected with bacilli of liberalism, but Soloviev continued to be nervous. In order to establish the truth, he called two Alexandrov, Prokhanov and Arkhangelsk to the “duel”. The predictability of the indicated fights has long moved into the area of urban folklore. Therefore, the consent of A.A. Oppon for A.P. It seemed strange to me, but only at first.
What can be opposed to Prokhanov? After all, to the one who alternately communicates with Solovyov, then with the cosmos, the truth has long opened: the more hot nonsense, the more reliable the place on the TV. Performance corrupts. Prokhanov did not even try to build an integral image of a demonic enemy. On the one hand, he called the interlocutor a mouse, rash, a worm, a mason, a service, a psalmist. On the other hand, he painted an apocalyptic picture: a crowd controlled by the Arkhangelsk, rushes to seize the Kremlin from the marsh. Constantly playing oneself is a heavy cross, from which the television Messiah is clearly tired. Real anger A.P. He flashed only when he remembered a bleeding wound: A.A. In his columns (about 15-20 years ago!) He called him a graphomaniac. Surely the great writer (according to TV) guesses that not one Arkhangelsk thinks so. Therefore, his innermost dream is to sing all liberals.
Meanwhile, the opponent of the Messiah demonstrated enviable self -control. He was the triumph of the norm in the era of total anormality. Arkhangelsky came with one purpose: to tell how much this is possible in the proposed circumstances, about what the intelligentsia really engaged in Russia. Rutin's boring things - textbooks, schools, libraries, funds, daily educational work. A real trifle compared to standing in television studios and the struggle of a global conspiracy. The main thing that A.A. said: "The task of the intelligentsia is to testify in the face of power, people, opposition."
Arkhangelsky could not say anything more terrible to the permanent participants of the “literary quadrilles” (from the creator of “demons”). The certificate needs concentrated internal work, and propaganda is needed only by slogans. We need a certain Gasparyan, still fessed, but already having secret knowledge about the cornation of the intelligentsia since the December uprising. We need Prokhanov, the ideologist of the empire and horror stories. (From the latter: the liberals gnawed the Romanov regime, now Putin is coded.) Boehrtko needs, striking the city and the world with a depth of philosophical views. Whoever we were talking about, from Bulgakov to Raikin, he has one answer: they were underpaid.
Bortko is possible, it is special. "Are you an intellectual?" - Strictly asked Soloviev. “No,” the director answered, “I am a Russian person.” Such a certificate of Vladimir Vladimirovich is worth a lot.
