Your letters. May 12, 2017

One woman writes a complaint, and someone will say that Paskville, for the whole human race, or rather, on its male part. She is forty years old, not married, a successful beautiful woman. I will say who she is by education and what she does after I read something. The general meaning is like that. She was tired of men who need her one. She wants to give them more, but also get more. In short, men come across, as for a selection, boring, vulgar, without any romance. Listen: “Sometimes I literally feel sick of how predictable and monotonous are ... The script is known in advance. Honey, do you understand that this is boring? Cafe, restaurant ... Call me in billiards or to an exhibition of cats. I understand what everything goes to, but do what I wonder. Just from the first minute show that I have a meaning. But, the right word, men really resemble primitive animals. If you really want to know what excites me, I will answer you. Mind. Hear me: mind! I am much more worried about what we will talk about before and after what you have achieved in life, can I respect you. And if you want to surprise me, surprise me with your human attitude. See a person in me. I can be a source for you. A source of strength, inspiration, tenderness. There was a lot in my life before you. The only thing that was in shortage was love. ”

Now I’ll say who she is, this forty -year -old woman. Psychologist, so you know, and successful! The first thing I thought was that she writes on behalf of one of her pacifier clients. Well, if in fact, from myself, then she, apparently, was imbued with ladies, conversations with whom she makes a living, which he herself was likened to them. What does she actually want from men? To act? But they already do it, such is their nature. She needs them to portray, if not love, then at least a passion for it - once. And the second: that, being empty people, look more or less substantial. It turns out that this acting would suit her? I don't believe. But her suffering is genuine. Related souls, and, moreover, irresistibly stretching to each other is a rarity. This is truly happy people.

Remove your palm from my chest -

We are wires under the current.

To each other again, look

He will throw us inadvertently.

This falls out to units, the rest of what do they do? That's right: all their lives they are consciously or unconsciously waiting or looking for a narrowed or narrowed. This search is called profanity. The basis there is deep and tragic. In my opinion, this is the main tragedy of man as such. Wait - and do not wait, look - and not find. So they fall: who - into despondency, who - in bitterness.

In the darkness of a stooped hibara

He grumbled darker than Satan

At night - what are the bitch of the woman,

In the morning - what bitch we are.

This is all, perhaps, what I could say on a question that is not included in the transmission of “Your letters”. We are still engaged in the social side of life, and here is so personal that it is better to stay away from him, to leave him to poets, psychologists and psychiatrists. Well, and sorceresses - to the craftsmen of the love potion.

“You should not underestimate Russian propaganda, Anatoly Ivanovich,” writes Mr. Vostryakov from Zhukovsky. - Here, after a long break, I joined her. Typically, they pay attention to that part of the television radio broadcasting that consists of a scream. There, the eternal champion is Zhirinovsky, and followed by a dozen obvious psychos. And you observe those who do not scream. That's who the real enemies of Russian freedom, and therefore your enemies. These are very solid people. They speak calmly, with the mine of complete knowledge of the background of all events. How do they take the listener? The firm consciousness of the superiority of Russia, primarily over the Americans. Personal superiority radiates and each of them separately. You are about to believe that there is a higher order before you. They proceed from the complete correctness of their native state under the wise leadership. This is hypnotizing. The people go to bed in a good mood. Everything will be all right, since our leaders have such smart, loyal advisers. They already know how to put all the enemies of Russia in place! ”, - writes Mr. Vostryakov.

In my opinion, you saw this breed well, Mr. Vostryakov. A person is pleased with himself, his own way. He loves himself like that. Hence, by the way, its sincerity. At the same time, he knows that everything is lying, but before it is clean, like a glass. How is it, why? He numbers himself as a member of the circle of the elect who lead Russia. He thinks of himself in a special office, in the clerk of the hut, from which SOR is not taken out. It has its own rules, its own solidarity. He knows the debt only to this office. What does she demand from him, what is good for her, then it should be done. What they say about him in the village does not matter to him. The only important thing is what will be said in the office. These people, of course, love their homeland, but, yes, they behave with her as if they serve in the headquarters, which imperceptibly for her does what she needs with her. What is it? So that she does not know the truth about her position, there was the highest opinion about herself and the lowest - about those to whom she will be indicated.

And this is what must be added. A simple Soviet person habitually participates in this game - that’s what I call him, although he can be two decades of the clan. What is a conscious Soviet man - not just Soviet, but conscious? He learned from the kindergarten that reality must be embellished, given how wonderful it would someday become. Embellish the present to approach such a future that will no longer need to be embellished. In addition, he always knew firmly: the fact that the reality surrounding him is not its property is not Tykchino for her, the Soviet government is not to blame, which means that this is not, that is, it is, but he does not have a place in a conversation about the achievements of the Soviet people. There are many such conscious people in Russia today.

“You allowed yourself something unheard of, Mr. Shot! - The next letter. - On your Facebook page, you wrote that the Russian language is relatively recently - in fact, after Pushkin, it was vulgarized by the Russian educated society, which had previously been franco -speaking. Moreover, you do not hide what you remembered this dubious story. In this way, you openly, defiantly supported the Kyiv Ukrainians who did not want to leave any traces of Russianness (your word) in Ukraine. Do you give yourself what you are doing? Well, here's how to learn from you to the Russian young man -patriot that his native language, directly speaking, was by no means his native to his not so distant educated ancestors? ”, On this cry of the soul of our listener Igor Matveevich Spiridonov, I break off his letter.

The young man you mentioned, Igor Matveevich, is easy to calm, if only he is an inquisitive person and if he wants to know how it was still, and how such things are. Firstly, was there really a smearing of the Russian language to educated Russian people? “Something similar,” writes Mr. Blazer, “all European languages experienced. In particular, English during the Norman occupation became the language of lower classes - second -rate relative to French and Latin. Vyazemsky writes in his notes, what horror the demand of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russian diplomats to write reports in Russian. ” And nothing, I already say it, have become accustomed and got used to it. Mrs. Kellerman reminds us of some of the vicissitudes of the Czech language. “Czech language,” she writes, “was considered the language of slaves, unlike German. And where is German now in the Czech Republic? And no one lost the profession! They were lucky - Russia is far away, and the Austrians weakened. ” Finally, a great example of Israel, Evgenia Komarov writes about him: “If we talk about the wiping of the language, then one cannot help but recall how Ivrit was introduced in Israel. Most of the then population of Israel communicated among themselves in Yiddish, but for the use of Yiddish in official institutions it was possible to get a fine! Yiddish was virtually forbidden - the press did not go out on it, the broadcasts were not conducted on the radio and TV, he was not taught in schools. And only after many decades, when the Hebrew almost artificially created on the basis of the Book Hebrew, in Israel, became the language of the new nation - Israelis, in Israel they began to revive Yiddish as the memory of the ancestors of Israeli citizens. ”

Spiridonov Igor Matveevich belongs to those people who believe that information about everything and in general - about everything should be submitted to any population in a dosed, in modern language. Why do I say: modern? Because such people were always and everywhere, and the word "dose" into the Russian language entered not so long ago. Education of youth, these people believe, correct education! It should be only to smash him such information and so that this contributes to the formation of useful members of society, the faithful sons of the Fatherland. It is necessary to hide some things from them, and some, on the contrary, is to exhibit in the form of education. Exhibition and instruct! This is more and more clear to people who have found Soviet times, which in a certain form returned to present Russia.

“Hello, Anatoly Ivanovich! Recently, my sister and I had a dispute about President Trump. I spoke about him very critically, my sister, on the contrary, praised. He, they say, has an excellent family, he is an experienced and successful businessman. It is very good that Clinton did not become president, because she hates Russia so much! And with Trump we will have an excellent relationship. They argued correctly, without raising their voice. Two months have passed, American tomahaws flew to Syria. We meet again with my sister, and this is what I hear and see: the eyes widened with anger, a reddened face, a voice breaking into a cry. This is your America! Again it climbs everywhere! This Trump! What does his nose are sticking to Syria, let him command! On my objection: what Putin does there followed: he fights with terrorists! Our Putin is respected all over the world. Moreover, earlier she treated him quite indifferently. Look how he works day and night! If Putin leaves, the country will fall apart! When I reminded of the Panama Foundation of the cellist Roldugin, a stunning answer followed: well, and what, he should, that is, Putin, remain after leaving! And all these anti -corruption investigations are not interested in me, it would be better to do business! Well, and at the same time I walked around Ukraine: I would give these Khokhlov to all, Bandera cursed! And only when I brought the numbers of schools closed over the past fifteen years, hospitals and the statistics of diseases in Russia, it has subsided a little. Well, and the message about the joint business of the gang of tsapkov and children of the Prosecutor General also diminished joy. Sister watches a TV, especially the current show. So, Anatoly Ivanovich, and we live. Sincerely, Gennady Konovalov. Moscow".

People like your sister, Mr. Konovalov, like to clarify their historical knowledge - of course, with the help of TV, the Internet and the current bookstore, be it wrong. On the Internet, there are simply hordes of lovers of the latest information about the long -lasting days. Not any information, but inspiring, those that do not belittle the past, but exalt it, what is called the historical truth. This need sometimes I would like to call instinct. The need to think about the past of the Fatherland is good, respectfully, with pride and emotion. “Two feelings are wonderfully close to us. In them, the heart gains food: love for fatherly coffins, love for his native ash. " Entrepreneurial people earn good money on the satisfaction of this feeling, and the authorities are gaining glasses.

In the first place, of course, is a popular desire to think about Stalin and Stalinism that he was not so villain, and those times were not so villainous: that not tens of millions were killed, but simply millions. There is nothing new. Over time, you have to say this: nothing new. Here is an example for you - the first in the history of Russia, but the most vivid and directly related to our days. In May, one thousand eight hundred and twenty -first year, the ninth volume of the “history of the state of Russian” Karamzin was released. A terrible volume. He was dedicated to the reign of Grozny. Reading Russia first learned in detail what this obsessed executioner was doing on the throne. The voices of the long -gone chronicles sounded, people who miraculously survived and could tell how horror the Russian land was covered. And what? Historians immediately appeared, and not quite historians who began to prove that not so much tens of thousands in the same Novgorod were destroyed, but several thousand, say more. Further studies have shown that really in the eyes of the unfortunate subjects of the formidable he was a noticeably great villain than in fact. Fear of contemporaries, the eyes were great ... But what is this talking about? This was accurately and wisely said in the beginning of the eighties of the last century such a wonderful writer-historian as Nathan Eidelman. He used the expression: a social impression. Here is how he wrote: “If it seemed to contemporaries everything in the blood, and they leaning the number of victims, it is not enough to exclaim that they are mistaken. It is necessary to understand why they are mistaken in this direction. And then the truth will appear, no less, or maybe more important than the exact statistics of executions: the public atmosphere of terror and horror will appear. ”

Meanwhile, the long -standing listener of “Freedom” writes to me: “What in your speeches (as well as consonant people with you) is pushing thoughts about bias and bias? Yes, almost everything. You and many people agree with you, A.I. shot, simply sincerely do not respect Russia and in general Russians. For example, you claim that Russians are not capable of self-organization, are not able to arrange something like a Maidan. So? You do not respect them. Isn't it? Do not respect Russia. Who are they for you? "Imperials", "legacy of the scoop", "sunk by a television holder." So? But where did such contemptation come from? Why do you put them so low? A? You are biased, and this is noticeable for any more or less objective person. You and you agree with you to despise your fellow citizens. Who are they with you? "Speech cattle", "Vata", "Belosovites". So? So why be deceived? Do not deceive yourself - you don’t have objectivity, ”I read this letter and I remember what the accusations were in Soviet times to people who were put into expense, as they said then. Among these accusations, this is: does not like the working class. Or: does not like working class and labor peasantry. There are two parties in Russia now. This is not to say that they fight among themselves for something, because one is very small, and the other is very large, but still, it believes that the struggle is terrible. A small party, for example, does not consider America an enemy of Russia, and for the large one is an enemy of all enemies. And here is what is striking. The little party does not say big: you do not love Russia, do not respect the Russians. And the big party only present this small.

A letter from the Russian resident of Berlin: “Here read that I wrote to you about the mechanisms of Western political life. This is officially called democracy. And what really? There are many parties, but the programs are almost identical. There are no serious forces that would require the protection of the white race, refusal to pay social benefits to all sorts of discharge, the ban on interracial sex, and atheistic propaganda. Even opponents of European integration are wiped. Open any article about gypsies in online publications. Articles, of course, are all political correct. But almost one hundred percent of the forum users categorically disagree with them. For most problems - the egregious difference between the views of the authorities and citizens. Why do people still vote for those who are: for hypocrisy and liars? Nobody throws the ballots into the urns for them. The key is in propaganda. On the one hand, she nevertheless re-educates people, although slowly. The reactions of people are controlled, and their ambitions are guided. On the other hand, expressors of real popular views simply do not allow them to break into the people. Fame is provided only to psychos, and people do not take psychos seriously. Even agreeing with the “kettle”, the layman still votes for someone more solid. If at least some part of the “tea” political officer still manage to achieve some success, it begins to poison it like the late Austrian Yorga Haider. Against such people, all serious media. Everything, Anatoly Ivanovich, and you know that. The mechanisms of secret power are triggered. Serious businessmen are connected by all kinds of clubs. If someone decides to support the “extremist”, then the club will quickly explain to him how his business will destroy it. He will be refused printing houses, cops and tax authorities will be set to him. In the end, not a single professional journalist will go to such a publication. A sane person thinks about a career and money. The EU and gypsies are swearing at home, and writes for the EU and against racism. In general, Anatoly Ivanovich, real democracy in the West is much less than in Ukraine or Russia. Nobody throws the ballots, but there is neither democracy nor the change of elites. Real power is anonymous backstage, ”writes this Russian Berlin.

I carried two important things from his letter. He admits that people are nevertheless succumbing to education in the modern spirit, in the spirit of the civilization of our days, in the spirit of humanity-so that it is very short and clear. Slowly but succumbing to. And the second thing. Yes, many are hypocritical, but again, they will also hypocritize in this direction, in the line of humanity. In the opposite direction, it is simply impossible to hypocrite, because hypocrisy in its very essence is a tribute that the vice pays virtues. This is said in the West. What kind of tribute? Дань уважения или, если хотите, ублажения. Натужная добродетель все-таки лучше раскованного зла.

Из оккупированной части Донбасса пишет шахтер: «Мой оптимизм тихо угасает. Подъем четырнадцатого медленно растворяется в казенщине, канцелярщине и возвратившихся торгашеско-хватательных рефлексах. Пожить в Новороссии надеялся в четырнадцатом, в пятнадцатом, надеялся в шестнадцатом. Возраст не позволит мне лучиться оптимизмом десятилетие - полтора. Шахтеры редко столько живут».

То же самое, что этот человек, сейчас говорят многие в тех районах. Мне выпадает с ними встречаться. Одни отводят глаза, другие наоборот – смотрят прямо, враждебно, с упреком, словно перед ними важный фрукт из Москвы. Журналисты знают этот взгляд недовольного жизнью собеседника. Бандитские порядки «донецких» никуда не уходили, но сейчас о них говорят, что они вернулись. До сих пор на них закрывали глаза. Донецкими в Украине называют тамошних бандитов. Донецкие порядки – это взятки, поборы, откровенная власть хищников. Такой во многом была власть на всей Украине, но на Донбассе - в квадрате. Украина под напором Майдана и Запада пытается привести себя в божеский вид, а там, где хозяйничают донецкие, беспредел уже не в квадрате, а в кубе. Шахтер, которого мы слышали, точно передает настроение своих братьев по классу. Они рассчитывали, что Россия, взяв Донбасс, наведет порядок, то есть, все опять станет государственным, отчего сразу взлетят зарплаты и пенсии, вернется советская бесплатность. Появились, было, даже местные политические философы, облекавшие эту мечту в слова – в красивые слова о новороссийском социализме с православным лицом, каковой социализм распространится на всю Россию. Да, новороссийский православный социализм как спаситель России… А вместо этого донецкий шахтер видит знакомые ему торгашеско-хватательные инстинкты, как он выражается. Он вряд ли уже поймет, что ничего и не могло получиться. С него спрос невелик, а вот с донецких философов… Хотя они там немногим грамотнее. Есть малограмотность грузчика и есть малограмотность публициста, философа. Это разные малограмотности, но они все равно малограмотности.

Вот слушайте: «Россия не могла бы существовать в размерах Московского княжества. Конечно, в определенном смысла жить в маленьком государстве спокойнее. Но России им не стать. Путь к нему будет залит кровью миллионов людей. Поэтому без меня, пожалуйста. У нас сейчас нет другого выхода, а только жить в любимом имперском государстве. И, кстати, я совершенно спокойно отношусь к перспективе войны. Не будет – хорошо. А будет, то тогда и ясность определенная возникнет. А это тоже хорошо», - закрыть кавычки.

Это – к вопросу о гибридной войне России против Украины, к аннексии Крыма и оккупации части Донбасса. Полная ясность, потому что полная откровенность. Без Украины в первую очередь, но и без остальных частей бывшей империи Россия не мыслит своего будущего. И Россия не только в лице таких вот воодушевленных и прямых людей, но и в лице большинства населения. Малограмотность рядового гражданина России совпадает с малограмотностью философа-любителя. (Других философов - не любителей, по моему читательскому мнению, не бывает). Обе разновидности малограмотности мешают людям понять, что поезд ушел, по крайней мере, уходит, все ускоряясь и унося их в прошлое, в забвение.
