Your letters. March 31, 2018

From the letters about the past elections, I will read the shortest: “I conducted a survey of naked women upon leaving the steam room in fitness. It was interesting who they voted for. Five replied: “For Putin. And for whom else? ” One grandmother of seventy -five, fat, said: "The rich voted for Putin, because he allowed them to build palaces, and the poor, like my friend, say: at least we receive pensions."

The naked community supported her amicably. It turns out that everyone went to polling stations to get no worse. Only one, the youngest of us, a girl of about twenty, said that she had a quarrel with her mother because she had voted for him. The conversations that I hear around me today are only about the elections. Friends and acquaintances call, they are interested in who I voted for. Before the elections they did not call and were not interested in who I was going to. Well, how, Anatoly Ivanovich, are we interesting people? Solovyova, businesswoman, consider that middle -aged. " This letter came on the nineteenth of March, immediately after the election. Thank you, Madam Solovyova. You wrote: five, but did not report how many surveyed you were. And the people ... Well, what about the people? Everyone is interesting in their own way. It suggests a well -known saying that every nation deserves the ruler whom he has, but in this saying I do not see indisputable truth. Like all well-aimed remarks, it highlights only one side of the matter, and the parties are uncounted. Life, history is a multifaceted. According to this letter, we can say something about the attitude of a Russian person to power. She is in his eyes an external force towards him. He executes him and has mercy, gives him, or maybe not to give a pension, allows you to build something, and maybe not to be allowed. Everything is at her discretion. He does not expect anything good from her. If only it wasn’t worse, if only tomorrow I would not teach something that the sky with a sheepskin ... It is noteworthy that Ms. Solovyova, “businesswoman, we will assume that a middle-aged”, conducted her survey in fitness. So, she was surrounded by women not poor. Those that can hardly make ends meet do not visit such institutions. Why, by the way, did not cross out about naked - this rough detail? Naturalistic, as the school callist will say. Because in the bath a person is open, like nowhere else.

There according to the drawing of each injury

I read every Tuesday I

Without flattering and deceiving drama

Or novels without lies.

This I remembered one Soviet patriotic poem. A thousand nine hundred and fifty -eighth year.
You were not in the district bathhouse

In the peripheral town?

There are gangs with a cabbage profile

And splash, like in the summer on the river.

There the orders are handed over to the watchmen,

But bring to the soap room

Scars and scars - those

I personally trusted more.

………… ..

There is a screech and laughter female

Behind the wooden wall.

There is a feeling of acute bliss

It is experienced in the steam room.

And so on. “Bath” - called this poem by Boris Slutsky, many knew it by heart.

They talk about football there.

There with a raised head

Carries the tailor its corns,

Their burns are Gornova.

On my Facebook page, I wrote that millions of books are burning in Rus', of which not everyone deserves this fate. “Yes,” says Sergey Rybak, “books fly to garbage. I had a chance to see a huge, thick, beautiful book (scientific), which no one has discovered. To tears. One of the poets will write a requiem to dying books? ” The next response: “In the dachas, barbecue on books are fried. I saw it myself. I was surprised. And in response: "And who needs books?" Ringe! We join the new - digital era. Any, the most thick book can be read in fifteen minutes. Everything is stated in a compressed form in order to save time and not to make up sly. In New York, books on esotericism and cooking are best left among Russians, ”this resident of New York reports. In Ryazan, Morshansk, Irkutsk, and everywhere in Russia is the same. By this, the inhabitants of all Russian cities and weights are similar to Russian inhabitants of New York. It is funny that people are equally attracted to esotericism and cooking. What could be the opposite? Although how to say. Esoterica is stories about all sorts of secrets, miracles, witchcraft, and cooking is also a kind of witchcraft. I personally prettier a person who is fond of cooking. It requires more mind, flair and labor and much less - lightness, frivolity. In the end, there is always something to talk about with the cook, and I only want to run from esoteric.

“So I also think, Anatoly Ivanovich, - the next letter, it is caused by the previous program - about the suggestibility of a huge part of the Russians. It seems that they have nothing to catch on, except for faith in a miracle and miracles. For more than fifteen years, an organization called a methodological church operated in Moscow. She held on -site paid seminars. In the mornings, prayer meetings: “The disciple of Christ in the modern world”, in the evenings - have views of different talents. In small groups, people shared their troubles and problems with the "pastors". Thus, a register of single pensioners, disabled people were created, for whom they then hunted in order to select their property according to the name of the Almighty. This “church” had connections in ZhEK, police, hospitals - the addresses of the victims were mined. Or the so -called "purple" courses. They teach what “magic of money”, “how to achieve more, doing less”, what is “transserfing of reality”. Everything is for a lot of money. And how do you like the not free "School of Happy People?" Everyone wants happiness, money and do nothing! And receive "at least thirty thousand."

Everything that bothers this listener is described two hundred years ago. Described with the same indignation, with the same mockery. Thinking the British, French, the Germans are described ... The crooks were the first to use newspapers for their divisions and deeds. Immediately, exactly when the first newspapers appear. In exactly! They were the first to realize that you can get good good at the lightness of readers. Promise them with a quick cure for all diseases, promise a successful marriage and marriage, praise the lotions and creams to ensure eternal youth - and you will always be with money. Further showed that without freedom, the feature knows what and to pay for this feature knows that there are no other freedoms: neither the freedom of the press, nor freedom of reading, nor freedom of behavior, nor freedom to business, as your soul pleases, if this does not interfere with others. You do not like that two million fools or temporarily wiped off for days stand in line to go under a rag, called whose belt - well, so, so? And they like it. A person has the right to stupidity. He has the right to enrich charlatan, if by mutual agreement. When the authorities intervene in their relationship, the life of all people, and not just crooks and fools, turns into hell. It turns out a scoop, North Korea. The fact that people in Russia are allowed to fool each other is, no matter how vert, a sign of some freedom. Freedom can not only please us, but also upset us, but from this it should not cease to be freedom. A person believes in any nonsense not only because he has nothing to catch on in life, as our listener writes, but because he is just stupid. Well, stupidity is also a gift of God.

What we are talking about was for many. I’m afraid to get bored with this topic, but I read: “My psychologist’s friend says that there is a significant difference between an American, European woman and Russian: an American, if she was planning to get married, she will study the book“ How to Marry ”with a pencil. She set such a problem, she solves it according to all the proven rules. This business approach hurts the Russian woman: she wants her desire to be fulfilled by itself. Russia is not elephants, but miracles! We need miraculous icons, but forgive me, my believing daughter, we go to the “country of masters of universal happiness” - this is the name of one of the trainings. We live with a voyage, fortune -telling, chakras, spiritual enlightenment, vowers from celibacy, slander, lapels and other spiritual practices with them. Here is also a “peak lady” with three cards and the ubiquitous gypsy, laid out the deck to predict fate. By pike command, at my desire ... What does it want, what does our female population dream of? What boasts, but actually lies, a friend who wants to look happy: he understands me without words and guesses my desires. Obel, talismans! Powerful belief: such and such a wizard or such a remedy rejuvenates you, cleanses the body. Well, how, after the new year, it is necessary to clean the blood, kidneys, store shelves are littered with appropriate means. Everyone believes in everything, but not their own strengths. Here! ” - this is how the letter ends. It has a familiar thought to you: there is nothing to catch on a person. And I am my gnu. Rather, it is the opposite. The point is that a person has something to cling to. He is allowed to choose what exactly: for the belt of the Virgin or for something more or even less reliable. In a society where not everything is under power, where there are some outlets, where one calls you for courses by hunting for grooms, and the other to study the language, in which seventeen people in the world speak, in such a society, the majority always chooses that it is easier, brighter, which promises less labor and more freebies.

“Good afternoon!” Lawyer Sergei Alekhin writes to us. “If you are interested in the topic of impunity and mass illegal actions of officials subordinate to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, then ready to cooperate in order to restore the violated rights of workers: mass illegal dismissal (including women who have lost the breadwinner with mother -in -disabled and minor children), partial non -payment of wages) Poems for more than three months (criminally punishable), the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation refuses to consider issues on the merits of the Twelve Pages, the lawyer Alekhin sets out the victims of which their principles were working. The law enforcement of troops, housing construction and construction of social infrastructure for the armed forces. ” The prosecutor’s trade union of the Russian Armed Forces (there is, such a trade union) and the state labor inspection. They felt happy with their command, their power, which should positively affect the combat readiness of Putinism - a regime that openly confronts the free world and the United States of America, in the first place, threatens them with unprecedented weapons ... And now you are addressing this very America in the person of the Radio Svoboda with a request for help in strengthening in strengthening the Putin’s army! “The Lord is with you,” he answered me, of course, but I am not about the real mud, for the assessment of which is not necessary to take up anything. An independent and disinterested expert to listen to it - I am bad for me to be thirty -nine, I am a lawyer in labor, because they know my work profile, so I try to help, ”he wrote. The addresses of the President and the Patriarch, and even the UN Secretary General, remember the famous Soviet expression: “Yes, write to the UN!” And write good people, I repeat my calls known to our listeners. Eyes!

“A strange thing, the next letter, has never seen a single car mechanic or an employee of the gas station in the outback that would campaign for Crimeanash, not a single cashier in a store that would falsify the results of the vote, and not a single working timber industry that would scribble an order for the district newspaper on the United Russia party. Somehow more people with higher education are engaged in this, from good families, ”says this listener of“ Freedom ”. What is true, the truth, as well as the fact that soon everyone will be with higher education - with diplomas of higher education. Why is it a person with a diploma that he has listed and what does our listener mean? Not only because otherwise he may have trouble. He believes that he must correspond to his status, rank, rank. He may not be very clear to him the very word “geopolitics”, but there is nowhere to go, we must talk about it with an important look. And since you read your title, your rank, then you must read the title and rank of a higher, guess and justify his expectations, not to mention the fulfillment of his direct instructions. Such people do not so live as they serve. Continuing human material.

“Among the Crimeanists,” writes Yuri Guguev, “the unmali of sensible researchers - excellent specialists in their fields. But the problem is that they are people with a "split consciousness." The impression is that when it comes to Ukraine, Crimea, shot down aircraft, etc., some other brain centers begin to work for them - not at all that operates when these people are engaged in their professional activities. And these centers clearly do not know either logic, morality, or control over behavior. I have repeatedly observed this effect. Very sensible people, when it came to the above -mentioned topics, in the blink of an eye became, as it were, aggressive idiots. But when the conversation passed to other subjects, a reverse metamorphosis quickly took place with them. All this, in my opinion, is unnecessary evidence that human consciousness, “I”, “personality” actually do not represent any integrity: not only in mentally ill people, but also in healthy ones. In fact, a person’s consciousness is a set of programs of different properties that often compete with each other ... It seems that this is also confirmed by modern neuropsychological research, ”writes Mr. Guguev.

This is a topical conversation. With artists, writers, in general, with people who are in sight, this is what thing. They are used to the fact that their opinions about everything in the world are interested in that they know something that others do not know or understand in all more than others. Such a celebrity herself begins to believe in it. All this is harmless, until the usual life flows, until some major events occur-like an attack on Ukraine or Great Britain. They ask a person, and he answers as a question about the last book or picture: he quickly collects in a heap of what he heard somewhere and gives it out. He gave out and ran about his business, and then he finds out that he became a flag of some party, some kind of social movement, that the case smells of kerosene, or even blood, and clapping his eyes. They say I was asked to moss up with someone in front of the camera for a minute or two-I used to use, I eventually a great actress, people are interested in me and what: I am especially, or something, prepare for such conversations as I was used to going on the stage?

The next letter: “I notice more and more: the people are tired of politics. Only politics will get tired in any way, everything threatens, promises everything, calls. One friend of mine demands to return his homeland - socialism, on the contrary, I hid from my homeland outside the city with my head. Moscow squeezed me out of her. I could no longer endure lawlessness. Bitsevsky Park was cut down for development. Where are so many houses? For what? Why not build factories and housing in the regions? There are almost no Muscovites left in Moscow, they are leaving, and the poor province goes here in search of work. And the ecology? I was tired of wiping the sticky black burning from the windows ... I sold his Mercedes to the jump in the dollar’s jump, soon the dollar grew up - so I bought a house near the forest. Here are tits, bullfinches, woodpeckers. I'm going to plant apple trees. And here, without authorities and politics, good. I am no longer a member of society. I can no longer listen to lies, it is already swirling in the air. I live a recluse, but the day after the presidential message, a friend came. He is a colonel general, he still serves, told about this event, and to the event-about the fact that all the “golden ring” of air defense around Moscow is in a collapsed state. It jammed there, it rusted here. He shouted directly: “What rockets are we boasting? What were going to measure and with whom?! ” Потом спрашивает: «Вот скажи мне, старый друг, что для тебя родина?». Это, отвечаю, когда Битцевский лес вырубают, а у меня душа болит. Битцевский лес и есть моя родина. Теперь я эмигрант». Читая это письмо, я подумал, что не так все плохо в России, если состоящий на службе армейский генерал-полковник без оглядки рассказывает другу, пусть в лесу, о состоянии «золотого кольца» и о своем восприятии президентского послания. Нет, не так все плохо!

Да, вот еще письмо про то же, про не так все плохо. Оно подтверждает то, что вы сейчас слышали. Читаю, это из ближнего Подмосковья: «По правилам магазина, если найдёшь в коробке с клубникой тухлую ягодку, то можешь забрать товар бесплатно. Вот мои Алена с Ваней порылись в нескольких коробках и в результате бесплатно унесли четыре килограмма. Дома кое-что выбросили, кое-что обрезали, но осталось и много хорошей. Надо сказать, что магазины очень боятся просрочки, и это относится не только к ягодам и фруктам. В прошлый раз мои принесли пять ролов с ветчиной! Любой товар, который завалялся, меняют тут же на хороший бесплатно, типа штраф магазину, покупателю бонус». Магазин эта наша слушательница не назвала, зато приложила несколько снимков. На них коробки с клубникой. Выглядят аппетитно. А кто-то говорит, что все в русской жизни как было когда-то, так и остается. Здесь перед нами большая перемена, огромная, историческая – не побоюсь этого слова. Очень хотелось бы думать, что не последняя.

Автор следующего письма, по его словам, уже много лет пишет и пишет президенту, требуя убрать мертвое тело из мавзолея и сам мавзолей. Он сообщает нам об одном из последних ответов. Да, изредка ему отвечают, этому настойчивому старому человеку. В письме из министерства культуры говорится: «Кремль, мавзолей, Красная площадь - единый ансамбль, к которому каждый гражданин России должен относиться уважительно и бережно".Кажется, совсем недавно Кремль давал понять, что не трогает мавзолей из уважения к чувствам людей, для которых это сооружение с его содержимым – святыня. Теперь, как мы слышали, дается другое объяснение. Мавзолей, мол, просто ценная примета прошлого. Оказывают услугу будущим отрицателям. Они не просто снесут мавзолей – они обставят это так, чтобы оно стало политическим событием, прощанием с прошлым, в которое будет включен и путинизм. Такую вот роль невольно готовят мавзолею, требуя от граждан относиться к нему «бережно и уважительно», как сказано в бумаге министерства культуры.

«Неохота голосовать, неохота заниматься общественной работой, - признается последний на сегодня слушатель. – Неохота интересоваться чем-либо общественным, политическим. Все - мелкая возня. Наши взгляды, интересы, стремления ограничены шорами времени. Давно ли строили социализм и не ожидали, что он рухнет? А войну России против Украины сочли бы предсказанием сумасшедшего. Мало ли мы ужевидели таких, которые строили грозные или важные, дурашливые или невинные рожи, добиваясь власти и славы? Тот министр, этот еще выше, а вон та - телезвезда и первая красотка гаремов. Теперь дряхлая старуха. Моя память не отшиблена. Сквозь ее призму я и смотрю на происходящее сегодня. И спрашиваю: где вы будете завтра, нынешние хозяева наших тел и душ? И где будем мы, носители этих душ и тел?», - спрашивает автор. Кто где, дорогой. Каждому по его вере… Не обидитесь, если я так пошучу? Есть люди, которым взгляд на все сегодняшнее сквозь призму памяти просто помогает лучше понимать происходящее, во всяком случае, относиться к злобе дня спокойнее, чем те, кто поглощен ею до беспамятства.
