"We failed the exam before the children"

Evgeny Bunimovich - about the deceived trust, the show "Voice" and the daughter of Alsu

The television card of the first channel “Voice. Children ”won this year Mikella Abramova, daughter of the singer Alsu. This decision caused a storm of negative emotions among the audience. There are complaints to the voting system and to the fact that "the stars pushes their own." The harmless, at first glance, the show revealed a number of public ulcers and problems lying far beyond the limits of the musical business. The situation is commented by Evgeny Bunimovich, Honored Teacher of Russia, Commissioner for Child Rights in Moscow

The only positive result of this story is the reaction of people. People suddenly realized: but it is impossible, there is a limit to everything. The amount of injustice in the country goes off scale. Can rush anywhere. Rushed here. Anomalous votes, wraps, corruption, lies - all this is already surprising. It would seem that everyone is accustomed to the fact that they have already finally separated from us. And then they were indignant. Why? Because children. Well, at least do not touch children!

It is no coincidence that TV channels have recently been launched by children's shows in prime time so often.

This is the last way to convince the viewer of his sincerity - through children's sincerity.

For a long time no one believes anyone, cynicism goes off scale. But the focus with children works without fail. He worked until recently.

Adults generally like to hide behind children. In the name of children, restrictions on the Internet are introduced, in the name of children, concerts of young groups are canceled. The main argument: Children should be clean, let's protect them from dirt, let's conduct kindness lessons in schools, and introduce a course of spiritual and moral education. But real education is not in the lessons. Children were just shown in front of the whole country that it is impossible to achieve justice, that the words of honesty, sincerity and equal opportunities for everyone are an empty phrase.

What happened? Pops once again demonstrated her castration, her unwillingness to allow those who are not from their clan to the success. Judging by the news, Kirkorov, Buzov and our other pop stars were frantically agitated by Alsou's daughter. They campaigned because their own. They posted a step -by -step instruction: how to vote, at what time, for what number. The complete absence of ethical norms. They are still sure that this is normal. And what is the problem, what did we do this? The fact that it is immoral is not coming into their heads. Whether the voting results are wound, let the experts understand, but this shameless pushing of their own - a fact, no one denies it.

One falsehood inevitably layers on the other. A girl from the family of billionaires is awarded a million rubles for the development of talent ...

There is such an expression - "a child in a difficult life situation." Usually represented at the same time wretched housing, the child is poorly dressed, there is no money to pay for classes with the teacher. But the children of millionaires and stars also often find themselves in a difficult life situation. If the parents did not have an idea of ​​how to behave, and they are confused in what is good, what is bad, as a result, the child is unprotected from the shame that adults arranged.

How many painful points this story hit! Recently, the parliament decided on the possibility of electronic voting in future elections. But the story with the Voice showed that the main problem is not in technology, but in the degree of trust in citizens. What kind of trust can we talk about when it is undermined at every step?

It only seems that at the Voice show, children show their talents, and adults evaluate them. In fact, on the contrary. This is we, adults pass the exam before our most talented children. And we can’t stand it. Society says: yes, we cannot build an honest, fair country for you. Yes, we have lied. Yes, we cannot teach you anything good, because we ourselves behave immorally. This is a complete failure.
