Another memorandum of Russia in the ECHR as a step towards the collapse of the country
The patronage of our people has entered (in our same) proverb. Silted with classics. Here, for example, Saltykov-Shchedrin: “And the fools stood on the knees and waited. They knew that they were rebelling, but they could not stand on their knees. " Mati is ridiculed by contemporaries. And continues to puzzle.
In the era of the prohibitions that the Duma of the sixth convocation, the body of fictitious legislative power, with the filing of the authorities of the present, was almost daily, it was fashionable to guess-and what else should these authorities invent, what else to throw out in order to provoke at least any noticeable irritation? But the place of irritation in accordance with the traditions was occupied by humility, but often - and gratitude at all.
The story with the consideration by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) complaints of gospel Christians from Sochi and the response of Russia to the decision of the ECHR - it seems to be an ordinary routine. In 2014, the leader of the Protestant group, Alexei Kolyasnikov, organized a collective reading of the Bible in a cafe for his flock. Fans of the Holy Scriptures were dispersed, Kolyasnikov was fined for organizing an inconsistent mass event. Offended Gospel Christians reached the ECHR. They became interested in court - are there any violations of human rights immediately and to freedom of assembly, and to freedom of conscience? The official representative of Russia in court Mikhail Halperin made an explanatory memorandum and emphasized that there were no violations - during the reading, audio equipment was used, which means that it was precisely a massive event, which, according to Russian laws, requiring consistency with the authorities.
Everything is trite, only the context makes it startle, and this is not fear - this is the joy of recognition. Damn it (and may gospel Christians forgive me for this dubious exclamation), and I myself have repeatedly participated in unauthorized mass events in cafes and at times even in restaurants where audio equipment was used. With the help of which a specially hired person, dull, but forced to joke, periodically made strange sounds. Well, let's say: "Let's drink for the bride's parents!" Or: "And now the first dance of the young!" Then they fought, of course.
I emphasize for readers from law enforcement agencies - it was all long before toughening the anti -constitutional law on the procedure for conducting mass events. All my friends have been married for a long time, many even divorced, the chances of listening to Tamada is less. But still there was a sin. And there was an audio equipment.
State men (and ladies) talk a lot about traditional values and spiritual scrapers. What this is - no one knows for certain, but presumably these are things uniting a nation. Foundation. Cement. And if the search is to take a breeze honestly, then not a passion for military parades and unconditional worship of the authorities will fall into their list, but, suppose, a family viewing of the “Field of Miracles” on Fridays (a person from the nineties, who has long migrated on the Internet, is hard to believe, but it is still on the air). And in addition to the “fields of miracles” - jokes about the mother -in -law and archetypal image of the wedding - with a rented dining room, a toastmaster, screaming in a microphone of bad jokes, and an inevitable fight in the finale.

In general, it doesn’t even matter whether such weddings are in reality, although they are, it is important that this is how the “comedians” describe them on federal television channels, and even more importantly that the nation will recognize itself in these descriptions, judging by the ratings of “humorists”.
And if Galperin’s logic is turned into law enforcement practice, prohibiting “unauthorized mass events in a cafe using audio equipment”, then it seems that this will be the last straw that will put the legendary long -suffering end. Gospel Christians are quiet people, the relatives of the groom and guests from the bride, especially on the second day of the exhausting festival. In general, in vain political scientists do not write works about the revolutionary potential of a hangover. He is.
