-The introduction of the name of God into the Constitution of Russia through the amendment of Article 67-1 could be welcomed as the desire to make more than something divine to a rather dull, especially in the last coronaviral months, Russian reality.
Moreover, other amendments reduce the overall level of the Basic Law, lowering the role of the judiciary (though the Constitutional Court unexpectedly supported this), and especially-establishing and fixing the autocratic presidential power, unlimited for a particular person. It is so obvious that
Being consistent, it would now be worth it to put a hand not on the constitution, but just on the Bible, as is customary in many countries.
Then the judges must be offered to “switch” on the Holy Scriptures in order to respond to a god who entered into the constitutional text.
However, self -confidently inviting the “God's judgment and the formidable judge”, as Mikhail Lermontov wrote two centuries ago, whether the rulers of Russia are aware of what will change for them when this amendment joins? They were unlikely to read the Bible, but “to the death of the poet” were to be taught by heart at school: “Both thoughts and deeds know in advance ...”. Do not lie, do not steal, love your neighbor and again - do not steal. And what to live for?
And the liberal to love too?
From them all the troubles in the country! And again: "Do not build a false certificate on the neighbor." And “do not increase the horses ...” But what about the annual addition of the horsepower forces of the mother-and-black “Mercedes” and the bright red “Ferrari” (recorded, of course, to the cousin, but there is no longer a problem: now it is no longer possible to have aunt in Brazil) to responsible politicians). “Do not shur over your brothers”, every day aloud “re -read the scroll”, where the restrictions of tsarist rights are recorded, that is, to remind themselves constantly about the formal prohibitions that still remained in the constitution and at least they must be observed for the type.
And the unexpected truly gospel essence is that “Godovo - Bogov, Caesar - Caesarean” does not mean cutting the ruler of a fat separate piece, but, on the contrary, the subordination of the whole “cesarean” to the whole “Bogov”.
How to live now on these commandments?
In order not to open the Bible in vain, we recall that Lermontov is still there. “You are hiding under the situation of the law, before you the court is really silent”, “Freedom, genius and truth of the executioner” ... Well, this is not to us, this is to the royal regime of two -century ago. “And you, the uniforms are blue ...” - however, this is from another poem.
In general, God, who becomes the God of the Constitution of Russia, brings serious questions to the Russian agenda, and we need to talk about them seriously. Therefore, I am not enthusiastic about transferring this subject to the comic book genre, the second part of which is not at all close to me. But you can understand the editorial office of a newspaper that goes out in a country where no one reads neither scripture nor the constitution. But still, for me, it would be better to reprint Lermontov’s poem again. It seems to have already stopped teaching in schools ...
