At the grave board

The role of the individual in history is the topic of immense, the problem is unresolved, the matter is dark. I don’t know, I don’t know, Stalin: how much did he determine the course of things in Russia and in the world, but how much was the hostage of circumstances? The act with growth with the ball of the earth is exactly about him, who controlled one sixth and another socialist camp? Is he small, unwashed and pockmarked - is it an exhaustive characteristic of Koba, which was known in the midst of the Bolshevik -underground workers in the midst of the Bolsheviks?

Everywhere, you must admit, there is a certain understatement. On the one hand, a person ruined so many souls - how to doubt his greatness? The triumph of will is indisputable. On the other hand, the leader acted not only on his own, but also according to the canons of the only true teaching, as well as within the framework of a tradition that has long been rooted in Rus'. And many of them, ending with the adherents of the class struggle and, for example, from Ivan the Terrible, strongly recommended mass killings to him - for the triumph of unfinished ideas and in order to maintain personal power.

Well, can you still attach about geniuses and villainy separately: are they compatible or incompatible? Purely theoretically attacked, since the genius who posed this question has evaded the final answer. And so many villains have been committed over the past millennia that already the question seems to be mocking.

Another thing is a real little man, unknown to anyone except his colleagues and a close relatives. Or even a well -known, but not a leader at all, not a genius of all time and not a politician at all. It is much easier to talk about his role, albeit in history, but in everyday life.

Here he is offered, to the little one, to call the ten most outstanding personalities of "all time and peoples", and he is the most part of his own. As well as Putin and Lenin, next to which Pushkin or there Lermontov, for whom the minority voted, look as if they were not out of their will to be clogged into a gang. Moreover, there were probably many respondents who entered all these names in a row, considering the neighborhood of the author of Mozart and Salieri quite meaningful with the author of a short course. In the end, Joseph Vissarionovich climbed the highest step of the podium, and for the second time in the five -year plan, and then another important reason for the conversation arises. About the free choice of a free person living in today's Russia.

It is possible, however, that some of the fans of Gutalin voted for him on jokes, like others (or the same) citizens put a cross behind Zhirinovsky. The respondent glorified Comrade. Stalin, knowing for sure that this outstanding person will not stand from the grave, and he will not fit him to the car, and will not dilute in the color of years. However, there are probably ideological, raised by the era and parents, at the same time obvious patriots and hidden Russophobes, since in the history of the country none of our lords killed as many Russian people as this wonderful cargo laid them. Actually, they, ideological and funny, along with indifferent to everything in the world, make up the postcrymist majority, choosing Putin among the living and Stalin among those who departed.

And other little people, a little larger than usual, because they serve on posts, erect Joseph Vissarionovich monuments or memorial boards. Perhaps, inspired by the fresh speeches of Vladimir Vladimirovich, who was not in vain in the overseas director that "the excessive demonization of Stalin is one of the ways of attacking the Soviet Union and Russia." Here they are, leading the metropolitan Law Academy, who formed the HPSH, and fell to the archives, joked their Chulans and found that in antediluvian times, in their prominent place, a message was hung in marble that the leader spoke here in 1924. And they restored the board.

This event did not cause any special protests at the Academy, and only one person - Professor Henry Reznik, a very famous lawyer, made a deeply personal choice. He quit from the university, explaining in detail at the same time, why he leaves that he thinks about the contribution of the corizes of all sciences to jurisprudence and as for himself he solves the problem of the demonization of the pockmarks. And this decision turned out to be so simple and convincing that there was a rather loud scandal, which involuntarily had to get involved in those who wanted to quietly give honors to the best friend of the lawyers. But it didn’t work out quietly, and, summing up the preliminary results of the controversy, one cannot but notice that it would be better if they were silent. Turning away to the wall and staring at the board.

Presenting in his choice, the management of MGUA considered it necessary to inform the press center that “respects the position of Henry Markovich”, does not want to argue with him, the protester’s departure “will not affect the educational process”, and as for historical truth and legal truth, the authorities are behind them. After all, the "Memorial Board with a mention of the speech ... I.V. Stalin" was now reinstalled not just like that, but "in accordance with the Decree of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR dated August 30, 1960 No. 1327" On the further improvement of the protection of the cultural monuments in the RSFSR ". A little delayed, but better than ever.

What can you say, thinking of the last strength about the role of personality in the annals and in everyday life? Lawyers, of course, are not historians, but anyone who at least a little the era of the thaw knows that after the XX Congress of the CPSU (1956), when the people were secretly true for the people about Stalin, it was no longer accepted to “protect” his monuments. And after the XXII Congress (1961), as part of the commemoration of the renovation of Soviet cities, squares, streets and buildings, and the body of the Secretary General was carried out of the mausoleum, and Stalingrad renamed, and almost all the monuments were carried to him. And in general, the quoted decision of the Council of Ministers did not have the slightest attitude to the Higher School of Economics, since it was signed a year before the board hoisted in 1949. This is an example of the so -called lies and fraud, typical of the current era.

Nevertheless, the question is not removed, and what influence those in power on the course of history have been influenced and argued for a long time. Hegel Won believed that the calling of world-historical personalities was to be proxies of the World Spirit . And our Lev Nikolaevich (seventh place according to the Levada Center) did not put them in a penny, calling the slaves of history , which is carried out by the will of providence . God the news, which of them is right and whom he was, our dear father, is a confidant or slave on galleys, a giant or an evil Pygmem. There are different opinions here, but according to the recent surveys of sociologists and the latest trends in architectural art, then the one who executes us, tortures and dwells in camps is truly great in Russia. And whoever killed the most is the champion. I don’t want to believe, but you can’t argue with numbers.
