You can't even imagine

Ilya Milstein

Many interesting discoveries, as you know, are made at the junction of sciences. Sometimes in no way related, such as theater studies and jurisprudence. In that, for example, the part of the junction, where the curtain suddenly turns into a prison grate, and here is the next discovery.

The day before yesterday in the Presnensky district court of Moscow, Alexei Malobrodsky was arrested , the former general producer of the Non -profit organization Seventh Studio. The arrested was presented "Fraud on an especially large scale committed by a group of persons", and some persons are also sitting: the former general director of the Seventh Studio, Yuri Itin under house arrest, and the former chief accountant of Nina Maslyaeva - in the pre -trial detention center. All of them are accused of kidnapped 2.33 million rubles of state money allocated five years ago for the play "Sleep on a Summer Night", and here, in this very place, the art ends.

And what begins - God news. It is possible that science. Because investigators of the Investigative Committee, along with the judges who joined them, are convinced that the performance was never staged. While all the accused with the director Kirill Serebrennikov and the artists of his theater who joined them not only well remembered this performance, but also, as it seems to them, is played. Wanting this idea to convey to the attention of law enforcement officers and judges, the director even turned to the audience yesterday with a request to witness what he saw. Who, they say, came to us at Shakespeare - write in a personal!

There are many witnesses. Thousands of people, as you can understand, went to the performance of Serebrennikov and are ready to swear in this. Others with ardor approve of the production and do not approve the actions of the investigating authorities. In addition, there are newspaper reviews of the performance, which, by the way, were presented during the process. All this, from the point of view of the director, actors and spectators, should serve as quite serious, or something, arguments in favor of the arrested. Evidence, as well as material evidence in their protection.

However, with no less attention, studying this phenomenon, we should listen to the opinion of punishing instances. And there, with healthy skepticism, they treat such an ephemeral phenomenon as a theater performance. As for newspaper publications, during the proceedings in the case of Less Brodsky, the prosecutor very accurately noticed that "the article does not indicate that the event was really held." Little, or something, hacaturists among theaters who can praise or brand a play for the sake of money, which they did not see. Well, in general: thousands of people, perhaps, went to this "summer night", and millions, even billions, if we take on a scale of the Earth, have no concepts about any Shakespeare. I suspect, we watched them and will see them more than once in the courtroom. And those who will laugh at them, the bailiffs will be taken out into the street so that they do not break the order.

In short, the outcome of the large work of the twists is still unpredictable, but perhaps it is possible to talk about the scientific discovery. Let with caution. It must be assumed that we are faced with previously described in theater studies, as well as in criminal chronicles the phenomenon of the “disappearing performance”, which seemed to be, but it seems to have not been. Either played, or dreamed.

The occurrence of this phenomenon should probably count from the day when the security forces in Balaclavas and without arranged a raid on the Gogol Center and other cultural institutions, somehow connected with it, and at the same time searched and dragged the director Serebrennikov for interrogation. A little later, the plot was enriched with the evaluative judgment of President Putin, who called the security forces " fools ", which had a partly inspiring effect on the seniority. That is, they were offended, but, of course, not to the president, but on those who pressed him, and began to dig the earth and sew a matter even more stubbornly.

Success is evident. Two in prison, one suspect by some miracle in the wild, but has no right to leave the house. It is still said about Malobrodsky during the court that he, a person with dual citizenship (Russian and Israel) and “ties in the US embassies and Israel”, can put pressure on some witnesses, forced them, probably, to watch the performance. That is why he was taken into custody. Today, these connections alone are enough for a person to tightly engage in the Investigative Committee, and then millions are also stolen, such a luck for the investigation. On this time on a summer night.

Nevertheless, the intrigue persists. It’s good, if there was no performance - then it is easy to turn out to be sentenced and transplanted, despite the protests and the offensive, but also a friendly criticism from Vladimir Vladimirovich. If there was a performance, then everyone should be released, but named by fools to punish, and not for stupidity, but for zeal in lawlessness. However, I would like to believe that we nevertheless correctly designated the phenomenon by inadvertently making a scientific discovery. It happens that in the dimensionless pockets of a civil servant, for example, the first or second person in the state, money disappears - and not even millions, but billions, and not rubles, but the currency is more confused. Why can't the play disappear? This is not even loot.

Then those who were taken for the monstering a lot about themselves who imagined the intelligentsia will be judged by the mood. Depending on, he will wish the highest authorities to declare the performance to the former or unprecedented. Well, how the card will lie down, what political layouts will be survived in the election year - they will turn in the courts to turn there. Actually, everything will be as usual in these ships, but with a correction for science. To be or not to be, who thundered like, but also the performance in the stitching business - this is the question. Shakespearean, yes, in principle, insoluble, but not for our investigators, prosecutors, judges, whose names should still be called and remembered - purely for science.
