The story with the dancing cadets of the Ulyanovsk Civil Aviation Institute (they danced under the song Benny Benassi Satiffaction **) ended well - high officials, such as the leadership of the educational institution, just in case, comparing the dances with the Pussy Riot and demanding deductions of young people, were shaken. The scandal is zamalized, everyone remains in their places. And in a strange way, the final of this plot was the result of civil resistance and civil solidarity.
The last (at the time of the release of this column) in support of the Ulyanovsk cadets
The horsemen performed. And before that, students of the Ryazan agricultural engineering
and medical students from Dimitrovgrad, cadets of the school of the Ministry of Emergencies, a naval school,

What, in principle, the oddity of this story? Students did not mean anything at all - they just knocked out a fool. It is unlikely that one of them, not to mention the leaders of civil aviation and the region, watched the film by Lilian Kavani “Night Porter”, otherwise everything that was happening would have caused completely bad associations, and the message would have appeared, however, it was still extremely slurred. But no one, thank God, looked, and the messages in the dancing, provoked by the seething of adrenaline-testosterone cocktail in young organisms in which the bromine was not not allowed. This action was echoed empty.
The degree of stupidity and at the same time fright before the higher authorities, which God knows what could have thought about the quality of “patriotic education” are such that as a result there was a wave of solidarity, and the puzzled chiefs almost received a political protest
But the shares of solidarity were not empty after the persecution of young people almost began. If the leaders simply had not noticed what had happened, there would have been nothing at all. But the degree of stupidity and at the same time fright before the higher authorities, which God knows what to think about the quality of “patriotic education”, are such that as a result there was a wave of solidarity, and the puzzled chiefs almost received a political protest.
When Ivan Urgant with his popular colleagues joined the flash mobs with all the authorities, it became clear that the moral (or immoral) support of the Ulyanovsk cadets was allowed and approved. And in general, the best way to extinguish the scandal and depolitize what managed to politicize out of the blue is to leave the boys alone. Otherwise, the epidemic of dirty dances will overexcite the country in the midst of the election campaign, during which, if you can turn to be reduced where, it is only in the hole for baptism.
In general, in a sense, the story with the young Ulyanovsk pilots found the status of civil resistance, otherwise successful. And it ended well only because nobody needs a piquant properties of scandals during the period of the triumphal procession of Vladimir Putin to overfire powers.
By the way, exactly the same nature had a good completion of the story with the film “The Adventures of Paddington-2” (which I wrote about last week )-his rental was allowed earlier than the deadline for which the lobbyist of the SKIF film frames Vladimir Medinsky. The battle of the next “patriotic” movie there is a naked Mishka Paddington, thanks to the persistence of the Minister of Culture, turned into an almost political scandal with the mobilization of the best figures of the patriotic wing of the domestic “culture”-such soldiers as the writer Poles and director Bondarchuk, are thrown into battle only in desperate situations. The British bear had to be overwhelmed. The degree of stupidity turned out to be so high and so much overexcling that I had to find a compromise and console the children and their parents with resolving the rental of Paddington.

The domestic media environment is so sensitive and reacts so quickly to any samples, if something is politicized, then only the stupidity of the bosses, the pressure on someone that high instances regularly have to go back. No one needs artificial provocation of conflict, including those who are engaged in the political planning of the activities of our eternal president. Right now, public attention should be concentrated exclusively in the words, deeds and exploits of the head of state-it is impossible, not to be distracted by anything-neither in cadets, nor for bears of foreign origin. The whole country, holding his breath, must monitor how with God's help the president plunges into ice water.
In general, of course, the situation with patriotic education is difficult: numerous communities, from cadets of the Suvorov school to housewives, are ready to turn publicly and indivisively with tasks to the music, thereby demanding non -interference of state people into private life. And the more intense the state is trying to lead the private behavior of private citizens, the more active the resistance becomes. And any body movements from private life suddenly gain a high socio-political sound.
If where dear leaders are playing before the revolution, then not at all in the central streets and squares, but in beds, boudoirs and doctoirs of our fellow citizens.
And the more intense the state is trying to lead the private behavior of private citizens, the more active the resistance becomes. And any body movements from private life suddenly gain a high socio-political sound
