Our homeland will win a lot of victories - in extra time

Speaking to the gullible population of Luzhnikov, one of the candidates for the President of Russia (he is in the ballot balloon fourth - the fourth in alphabet and the fourth time in general) optimistically stated: "The next decades, the whole XXI century will be held under the sign of our bright victories." It is too early to agree or argue. Somehow at the end of the 21st century we sit down and slowly calculate the victory. On the calculator of the domestic assembly.

Of course, it would be nice to talk about victories now. I would like to ask what our homeland has recently achieved. But disappointing answers are possible to this question. And in the city of Kirov you can even hear an irritated replica: "Our" homeland "lost 25 matches in a row!"

Indeed, the Vyatka team with the same name is not somewhere, but in the super-league hockey with the ball, in the current Russian championship, the defeated one left the ice 25 times in a row. Such a result, perhaps, can enter the history of sports, and the team, which is good, will be renamed the “historical homeland”.

But we are now about the Motherland without quotes. It’s a pity, but so far she also loses here. Probably not 25 times in a row, but also impressive. Our homeland, the birthplace of Lomonosov and Vernadsky, was noticeably lagging behind world science. And we do not think so. What do we understand in science if we cannot distinguish a proton from a neutron - neither in the eye nor to the touch? The scientists themselves who are behind the train or an airplane are talking about the lag, and only because they have not yet gone abroad. Brain leak, insufficient financing, reducing the quality of diplomas sold in underground crossings ... Previously, scientists were sent at least to potatoes, and now there is no one to calculate the transpiration coefficient of potatoes in the village.

In information and supercomputer technologies, we also say that we are behind for several decades. And who said that? Russian Security Council. And not only said, but even wrote on his website. Indeed, what can we produce in this area? Unless the rugs for the mouse. The carpet factories seem to work well for us. At least 6 x 3 meters sequet.

And how we lose in healthcare! They optimized medical points, and now the woman in labor is being taken by off-road somewhere beyond the horizon, and on the way the baby not only manages to be born, but also a little to grow up. Upon returning home, the baby can already be written in the queue for dentisting. While his milk teeth grow, while he is constant, while he lives to his old age, he will be invited to the prosthetist’s office.

Lagged behind, lagged behind another. And where is the victory? Here, for example, one of them: we did not lag behind steel. And cast iron. Here we are almost in the winners and fight for bronze.

We are waiting for other victories that we were not able to achieve in regular time. They appointed an additional themselves - the entire 21st century (how many presidential terms?).

By the way, the Kirov "Rodina" still won the 26th match of the championship and took the first three points. From the Krasnoyarsk Yenisei, which is going in the first place, she now lags behind 66 points. By the end of the century, maybe he will catch up.
