Polls: Who is the nicer in the world?
You can talk about the benefits of sociological surveys as well, to talk about the engagement of the results, but by one name the customer is not difficult to understand what result the payer expects. Well, if the result is expected, respectively, you can count on the award. Yes, I myself spent such ... I will tell you somehow.
Okay, the results are pre -ordered and predetermined. But what survey was ordered is also indicative. So, they want to inspire something to the people, for the announcement will cause a splash on the Internet. Especially when ... in general, read it yourself.
The Levada Center reports: the Russians consider Joseph Stalin, Vladimir Putin, Alexander Pushkin, Vladimir Lenin and Peter I. The most outstanding personalities in world history. 38% of the respondents were given to Stalin. Putin and Pushkin scored 34%each, 32%of respondents spoke for Lenin, and 29%for Emperor Peter.
But this is not all, follow the dynamics. Five years ago, sociologists conducted a similar survey. Then the first five places took the same five people, but in a different order. In the first place was Stalin (42%), then Lenin and Peter I (37%), Pushkin (29%), Putin (22%) followed.
Who has the most impressive breakthrough? Of course, Putin, for this name, most likely ordered. But the people reacted to another name. “Stalin ... Stalin again !! Russia, you are fooling around?! ”
I imagine the same survey in the 90s with the same results. I am sure that a secrecy vulture would be hung, otherwise what's the point in all this restructuring. However, there would be no 42 or 38 percent without any falsification. The people have not yet moved away from the shock of open archives, from the "Archipelago", people who went through the nightmare of virgin lands and miraculously survived in it still lived. They finally began to speak, tell ... Before that, in many families they hid from their grandchildren, where their grandfather lost all their teeth, where their intelligent grandmother with a conservative found Fenya .
Yes, yes, I continue to stand in my position-in relation to everyone by that time there is a share of the personal component . Of course, someone has relatives on both sides of the prison lattice ... like mine, for example. And here is the matter of the conscience of everyone, which side to accept.
Nevertheless, there is a certain trend. It seems to me that the descendants of those who correctly served his regime unconditionally support Stalin. For example, Vokhrovites, generally military personnel of the internal troops (NKVD) of that period (except, of course, those who themselves were under one of the purges). Such survived the wars, were provided with high -calorie rations, as a result of which they were actively breed and multiplied. And those whom they guarded often died childless. Like those who were attacking, from which they never returned. Or perished in captivity ... in the settlements ... Here you have a dissonance.
Of course, this is not all of the respondents, many of whom do not even know what service their grandfather -great -grandfather received the medal “For the Victory over Germany” (for example, my mother’s uncle was only for walking along the Red Square at the Victory Parade - their military echelon was at the right time in Moscow). But then where such figures came from: over five years the number of Russians who consider Stalinist repression of a crime decreased: now there are 39% of 51%. A quarter of respondents explain the Stalinist repressions "political necessity" and consider them historically justified ?
All this is correlated with the growth of President Putin in the same period. It seems to me that the people swept the same misconception regarding these two personalities. Under Stalin, successes were achieved by cruelty, blood ... "But he himself did not know anything, this is the environment, Beria, his mother." Putin, too ... a good, just a great leader ... "But his environment is through and through, and the governors are negligent." Ask at least with activists of the Popular Front, they will confirm you.
Boris Berezovsky (the first who presented an inconspicuous employee of the St. Petersburg City Hall of the Kremlin as a possible successor) knew very well than to justify his choice. For the free 90s, when everyone turned back, what he wanted (who had the Wishlist), the people bent his strong hand. Not according to the hawed seminarist education and expropriating youth, but with the corresponding past, experience and powers. Not Stalin ... but also not liberal spread. Such an order was executed.
So, it turns out, there are few severity to the people? Exactly until the moment until everyone is touched or the nearest relatives. So far, by and large, the authorities only threatens, which will put things in order, for from the full order the sky will seem to many with a sheepskin. Like in the army dysbath ... Do you think they are tortured, sealed, forced to sleep on nails? Nothing of the kind. They live strictly according to the military charter - neither a step aside, nor a minute of relaxation. From this, many hang up ... The Russian nature does not withstand order.
And personally among your friends there are many fans of Stalin? Not one of those that from Facebook-contact, others, with whom at least once they drank? I cannot even remember one among my own. There is one relative, so he is from Suvorovsky in uniform - "the mind was knocked out of the diaper." I forgave even a sitting father ... I could not.
Now read the revelations of the girl who worked as part in polls in Levada : she worked for several months. 98% of respondents - pensioners. People 60+. Youth and middle -aged people: a) did not open the door; b) If they suddenly opened when they saw the questionnaire flatly refused and kicked out. Well, really, I interviewed a couple of young families for all the time. Only adults, only pensioners, only 60+. Are there any more questions on Stalin? Soon we got sided - interrogated quickly and brazenly. And always, everyone always said: "Girl, write how it is right, but I will sign it."
Then why and who needs all this? Along the way, someone decided to scare the intelligentsia to the upcoming leadership. In order for office hamsters to love Putin as he is today, and did not wait for who he will become tomorrow. Otherwise, the question is why, with such a love for Joseph Vissarionovich, half of the country's population ... Okay, 10 thousand at least ... does not go to the Kremlin wall with three cloves in a sweaty hand on March 5? As to the wall of Tsoi, for example. More come to the place of murder of Nemtsov ...
On the contrary, ardent opponents of everything related to Stalin go to public actions. Lawyer Henry Reznik loudly slapped the door of the Law Academy, on the wall of which they hung a commemorative sign with the name of the mustachioed Generalissimus. AU, Stalinists, your move.
Putin (number two in the ranking) somehow asked not to demonize Stalin. Reznik reasonably asks him how to demonize the demon . More and there is nothing to add ...
Information policy: You won’t get bored with the fools!
Our power has a serious enemy. This is the Internet. Serious and almost invincible. Because uncontrollable.
I can imagine if such a window in the world appeared in my young years. Then everything was simple, familiar, understandable - kitchen conversations, samizdat, “enemy voices”. With the first, the informers, with the second full -time employees, with the third, with the third technical means called the wilderness. It was also clear how to deal with these uncharacteristic phenomena for the Soviet system -someone in a psychiatric hospital, someone in the camps, someone in exile (where the radio waves are not reached). Special lucky people could be sent abroad, having previously deprived citizenship. It was a special success. Consider that life has been made - human rights funds lick you as a prisoner of conscience , universities invite lectures, the status of a political officer covers all insurance in the highest category.
It is noteworthy that in the dissident circles of the USSR it was considered the permissible to emigrate only after the second resting under a political article, before that it was necessary to deal with the hated regime. And after all, I was seriously preparing ... I even starved training.
And then overnight everything that was prohibited the day before yesterday was on the Soyuz Patri shelves, bookstores and on TV screens. Moreover, in textbooks of history and literature. The former KGB, renamed the FSB, was forced to reorient to the bribe takerings-corruptions ... I definitely will not determine the sphere of their professional interests now. The Internet is engaged there exactly ...
There is such an entrepreneur in the field of IT technologies - Pavel Durov. Genius, what ... our Russian Tsuckerberg. At the age of twenty, he invented and created the social network “VKontakte”, which became the most fashionable among the youth and made its owner a billionaire (though Rublev). I haven’t been in it - it somehow did not go, but I am not an indicator. In addition, age.
Pavel has nothing to do with the famous circus dynasty ... But also that is an eccentric. What is understandable. At his age, from such crazy money, even Albert Einstein will go to the roof ... not only the tongue will stick out in front of the lens. I remember in 2012 in the media for a long time and deliciously there was a case when the top managers of VKontakte, led by Durov, threw airplanes with 5,000-ruble bills attached to them from the window of the central office of the company in St. Petersburg. Soon, a crowd gathered under the windows, which arranged a fight for this money. Paul later explained that he wanted to create a festive atmosphere on the City Day with his act. At the same time, eyewitnesses said that the owner of the social network watched what was happening under his windows with undisguised contempt for the masses.
Well, such a government cannot like ... but, in the end, a rich monster does not climb into power, does not participate in the elections, does not claim to be presidency. Another thing is that he defiantly refuses to cooperate with the authorities, calling the “VKontakte” zone free of the state. For which he eventually had this business, and squeezed out. And he himself dumped, either from the threat of arrest, or for what other reason - I, frankly, did not look at.
With his money and hide. But not the character. Already in 2013, Pavel, together with his brother Nikolai, launches a system of instant messaging and Telegram files, whose audience for February 2017 exceeded 100 million users, and by the end of the year, according to experts of this market, there will already be about 200 million users. Every day, 15 billion messages are sent through Telegram.
And again, the principle is not handing over our users, otherwise we will lose the trust of customers. Meanwhile, the FSB claims that the terrorists use the telegram , sending each other messages to each other ... That is, they coordinate their criminal actions. I am ready to believe that this is true ... more quickly and more reliable than to make bookmarks in park benches. And, if you catch, you don’t have to swallow microfilms - one click of a computer “mouse”. If no one has managed to do ... and then you can get a lot.
Here, of course, business interests are conflicting with civil debt. I’m trying to imagine myself in Paul ... serious people come to me and report that with my connivance (even if not complicity), the Kitter metro car was blown up. I presented ... I am making a wide inviting gesture with my hand - here are my resources, administration panels and access codes ... Just catch the adversaries. But I do not have a billion rubles ... even one ... not even a million.
Apparently Paul has other criteria of morality. Roskomnadzor appealed to him with a request to provide data to include a messenger in the register of the organizers of the dissemination of information (Ori). Well, you probably saw in the cinema: “We are from the FBI, we need your car to persecute a dangerous criminal, be kind, keys.” In case of refusal, the service was threatened by blocking.
And in response they heard that not a single government received and would not receive a bat of information from the service. Durov himself said that in the case of blocking the messenger, Russian officials will have to use foreign services, which, in his opinion, are controlled by the US authorities. Here is such a small king of the World Wide Web ... Web.
Durov is a man of the world, with his money you can move from the country to the country and soon completely forget where you come from. Probably he is a genius, and a genius in the technical field. Remember with what delight they create deadly weapons without thinking about the consequences. This humanities love to delve into beautiful words, metaphors and concepts. The main thing is that even the arrest will not change him ... The Internet will continue to live its life.
So I think ... Each metro metro is even outwardly similar to Islamic terrorists and sell inexpensively with nameless SIM cards . Their owners are simply impossible to track. Like users of social networks who can go on the Internet under any name. The globalization of the information space implies depersonalization, unless, of course, you want it yourself.
And again a clash with a dilemma. It is clear that Telegram is a private property and there is nothing to pull the little hands to her greedy. But what if this property really poses a greater public danger?
Another thing is that it is free to listen to their citizens is a wild temptation, which any government dreams of ... from the most liberal to the most authoritarian. The first, however, hide this ... But just imagine how much it is easier to manage people when you hear even their love whisper. Almost the same as the invisible hat.
Neither you interrogations, nor parliamentary hearings, nor investigative measures are charged immediately, since personal recognition is already on hand. And what are the opportunities for targeted blackmail ... not like some kind of messenger or social network. If they want, “Lukoil” and “Renova” tomorrow will be given out to the government for free!
But this is a hellish temptation - the state will listen to its citizens instead of hearing them. However, it now does not really listen to them. Or simply does not understand?
