The puck over the Reichstag

The new moral bottom of the Russian TV is to show the repetition of the Russian hockey final on May 9

My mother, who is 90th year, is crying on Victory Day. Like 75 years ago: "The folder was killed." There is no more to explain anything about tears on a bright holiday. To those who do not understand, to explain is useless. Since the open stage near the Kremlin came: “Wow, grandfathers! Wow, fought! " - The country has far advanced in the vicious of everything related to victory and the Great Patriotic War.

Here we reached a repeated show of the victorious Olympic hockey final 2018 immediately before the speech of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. To cheer up. “Why bad? - I hear in the question of sincere bewilderment. “They won, why not rejoice?”

Yes, a bad idea is from all sides. The Olympic victory-2018 of the Russian national team over the German national team has nothing to do with the "holiday with tears in his eyes."

To emphasize that the victory is “over Germany”, and this is precisely what is emphasized by the choice of the match is a bad tone.

Suppose, however, that the leadership of the channel without any back thought turned to this ending. Browsting that the stars equipped with stars, including recently played the ocean, the national team of the great hockey power on a thin one, barely, almost miraculously two years ago, defeated a very modest team of Germany-stupidity, designed for a completely unpretentious audience.

The wrong case to make a cult from this "battle". They were glad, congratulated, awarded - enough.

Not today, and not yesterday, of course, but the tendency that has been arising from about the second half of the zero has finally turn the tribute to the show and mix a great victory and a variety of “small victories” into one pile - there.

Hockey here, alas, was in the forefront also because the world championships have been on this date for more than 20 years. I was crumpled when at the home championship of the 201 2007, the Russian national team and fans, the songs were made “we need one victory” by Bulat Okudzhava from the “Belarusian station”.

And the film is amazing, and the song, but what does the game with the clubs have to do with it, albeit popular? What kind of “deadly fire” awaited on Khodynka? At what cost they were going to not stand up for the gathered in Megasport?

And the Russian team lost, of course. For a song and a march that cannot be exchanged.

And went and went. If before the middle of the zero in Vienna or Prague during the World Cup it was still possible without unnecessary noise, as it is appropriate, to remember our fallen, which we did, then it was better not to get into Europe on May 9 - so as not to burn with shame for excessively “patriotic” compatriots.

In the tenth of them, rags and pot -bellied ones, in T -shirts with talking inscriptions, there was a multiple more.

Already Prague-2015, where the Russians shamefully left the final closure ceremony after the crushing loss of Canada, showed Europe new “liberators”, armed with slogans “We can repeat!”, “Do not laugh my“ Iskoders ”and other smart thoughts.

The 2016 Home Championship raised the victory to a new height, which did not lead to anything good for the national team. Celn-2017 became an apotheosis of the cattle-there were types gathered "on Berlin!" They did not understand that T -shirts with such prints were not just inappropriate, what a facet of not just sound, but any meaning.

The larger the fumes of Patriotism, the worse we play.

The number of Gorgian ribbons distributed into the quality of understanding of history does not go.

When the victory is tied to anything, like the very St. George ribbon, the memory turns into a farce.

In distant times, my friend, wonderful actor and director Saydo Kurbanov during the International Film Festival in Dushanbe asked his Frontovik father to accept a delegation of German filmmakers at home. The owner met guests at the gate. On the jacket of all numerous awards, he had only one medal - "For the victory over Germany." "Are you, dad?!" “And let them know.”
Bobo Khasanovich had the right. Unlike the current.
