We will teach the homeland to love

Of all the arts, patriotism is the most important for us, and the reasons for patriotic delight to help readers were collected by The New Times

As an object

Russian, if you do not look after him and do not give a slap in time, everything does badly and wrong - this is a symbol of the faith of our chiefs. The Russian homeland, of course, loves poorly and wrong. Or, in the language of bureaucracy, "makes mistakes in committing acts of love for the homeland." Fortunately, I will soon lawlessly be the end. A group of influential United Russia introduced the law “On Patriotic Education in the Russian Federation” to the State Duma.

From which you can finally find out for certain what patriotism is. Patriotism is “a moral principle, social feeling, the content of which is love for Russia, your people, awareness of non -interpretation with them, the desire and willingness of their actions to serve their interests, subjugate their private interests to them, and be faithful to the duty in protecting the Fatherland.” In addition to the sacrificial, the state does not recognize other love, but this is not news.

The bore hatred of the native language is also not news. Among other important elements of patriotic education, for example, in the law “Development of historical memory at all levels of educational space: support for monuments of military glory, including graves of an unknown soldier and military graves” is distinguished. "Graves of an unknown soldier!" Here, the Minister of EducationOlga Vasilieva was about to fight the tongue -tied tongue of modern schoolchildren. We will refrain from jokes about the tongue-tied up of the minister, even though they beg, but still-why would not the fight against tongue-tied words not start with deputies?

And here is the most important of the “principles of state policy in the field of patriotic education”: “The provision of each citizen right to participate as an object of patriotic education in an organization engaged in patriotic education.”

“In creativity, he is prone to erosion of traditional Russian spiritual and moral values, attempts to falsify Russian history. Apparently, it shares the "opposition" political worldview "

There is, however, in all this, one pleasant moment. Those who have learned to learn in a Soviet school are remembered by all these endless rulers, marches, reviews, political information, oaths of fidelity, lessons in the world and other horror ... They taught something to the then schoolchildren. First of all, of course, to stay away from people “carrying out measures for patriotic education”, and they are not seriously not treating them. And do not think that the current schoolchildren are stupid than the then. They will also figure it out.

Exfinced fear

The main character of the week, on the Internet, is at least a uniner Russian deputy from Volgograd Anna Kuvichko , who, together with the students of one of the heroes of the hero city, wrote down a patriotic song. KUVKO is a member of the State Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children, which means to cripple children's brains is its direct duty. Children, however, are also not ordinary in the video - these are cadets from a special class, future police officers.

The text, of course, is monstrous to funny, well, let's say there are such lines:

And our faithful friends -

This is the fleet and the army!

Children promise to die if the elder asks:

But if the chief commander

He will call for the last battle -

Uncle Vova, we are with you!

And they are also going to not only protect the Kurils from samurai and Kaliningrad from the Germans, but also expand the boundaries of the Fatherland:

There will be no ridge

Never for samurai

We will stand up for the capital of amber,

Our Sevastopol and Crimea

For descendants, we will save

In the harbor of the homeland

Let's get back Alaska!

The patriotic song was noticed not only in their homeland, but also in the world, The Sun and the Daily Mirror published articles about the work of Kuvychko, and one of the Volgograd publications reacted to the work of foreign colleagues with a note - "The British tabloid The Sun was scared of deputy Kuvychko for the desire to return Alaska." Not immediately, by the way, you will understand whether the Volgograd journalists are proud of the countrywoman, or the patriotic clip recorded in the provincial Volgograd became the topic of geopolitical reflections of politicians and journalists around the world. This is a unique case. "

Nevertheless, it is a little strange that the British tabloids are afraid of Kudka, and not the inhabitants of Volgograd. Britain is far away, and not British, but Volgograd children score, let's say gently, the brains of rather shameful things deputy Kudychko.

No, it’s not a shame to love the homeland, on the contrary. It’s just that this mediocre cooking is not about love at all, and it seems not difficult to understand this.

Horse traditions

In St. Petersburg, the sixth International Cultural Forum started, the scandals around which began long before the start. So it works under the leadership of a doctor of unknown sciences Vladimir Medinsky, the Ministry of Culture: any almost its own step turns into a scandal. The “black lists” of domestic and foreign cultural figures, who were ordered to the forum, got into the press back in October, and this week “Kolt” published new documents that contain not only surnames, but also the characteristics of unwanted people.

The reading is interesting - it immediately becomes clearer in what exactly the officials of Medinsky see their tasks and how they understand the goals of their work.

“In creativity, he is prone to erosion of traditional Russian spiritual and moral values, attempts to falsify Russian history. Apparently, it shares the "opposition" political worldview "

Here is a brief, but capacious, analysis of the work of Kirill Serebrennikov, who, for a number of understandable reasons for the forum, would still not hit: “Serebrennikov’s activity as a director and cultural manager helps to erode the traditional Russian spiritual and moral values ​​and weakening the unity of the multinational people of the Russian Federation (including the spread of low-quality products of mass culture); There are attempts to falsify Russian history. ” But the assessment of the life and work of Leo Dodin: “In creativity is prone to erosion of traditional Russian spiritual and moral values, attempts to falsify Russian history. Apparently, it shares the "opposition" political worldview. "

Such people (stress on the first syllable!) In our Soviet culture there is no place!

By the way, the forum know-how- disadvantage of disloyal journalists. Because all sorts of slanderers who know, under whose pipe they dance, there is also no place in our Soviet culture!

But with proven and admitted deputy Medinsky, Oleg Ryzhkov discussed the issues of horse heritage. “As it turned out, we know quite little about our horse heritage, and I hope that we will be able to draw attention to this extremely important topic,” said Deputy Minister.

Chimera

The Belgorod Governor Yevgeny Savchenko told the Constantinople to his vision of the future of Russia: “I am for the enlightened, for the symbolic monarchy. What bad monarchy today brought Great Britain, Belgium, Holland, Sweden? In Sweden today, society is considered the most advanced. The closest to the Lenin ideal. "

The Astrakhan sculptor Viktor Kropachev created an amazing image: a creature with the body of a bear, the face of Vladimir Putin and the wings of the eagle. The creature in the paws is a sturgeon. The sculptor plans to give his creation to the president.

There is a suspicion that this is related news. And we will finish a short certificate for lovers of ancient mythology. The chimera is a monster with the head of a lion, the body of a goat and a snake tail. For a long time annoyed the mythical Greeks. Cums badly.
