School of slander. Anatoly Shot - about Tyutchev's policy

One of the long -standing Russian beliefs says: "We are good, but the West is bad and wants to destroy us." The current Russian General Staff adheres, as can be understood from the general speeches, of the same opinion. He believes that now, more than ever, the Fatherland desperately needs a special ideology that would fix in the minds that Russia is nothing more than a "people's empire." Such, they say, was once-that’s what she should finally recover for the benefit of all mankind. The West, of course, is still bad, it is even worse than ever.

Meanwhile, a slightly different belief declares itself. It says that we, the Russians, of course, are good, but the West is bad, but not better - and our bosses, our Kremlin, from its basements and services to the cross or what is there at the very top. Yes, the Kremlin is no better than the West! One of the prominent conductors of this belief calls the Kremlin seiselles “survivors” who are occupied by “PR-attractions” instead of doing something in the face of an “obvious internal stagnation, and in a number of positions-and obvious degradation.” It is important to repeat and emphasize: this is how the political thinker of our days refers to the native government, who at the same time believes that a Western person is born with care, as if to destroy Russia. This can be perceived as something new in Russian ideological searches and finds, if you do not recall something from the old. We, Russia, are good, and the West with our tsar and his henchmen are bad - wasn’t he lived with this conviction and died, for example, none other than Fedor Ivanovich Tyutchev? Everyone who wanted him, a passionate, enchanting talker, to listen, he assured that the rotting West was about to, by historical, of course, the standards, would disappear, as if he had not been.

Here, however, it was not a point, but a comma, after which the main thing followed: the West, yes, would disappear, but not just like that, but all, in its entirety, with all these Germany, France and other Sweden, will dissolve in the saint, for the Orthodox, Rus'. In this way, it will become a world empire with the capital in Kyiv, and better-in Constantinople ... And he, under another (also his usual) mood, left us something that, maybe, he himself did not expect from himself while he was in the power of the Muse. Then there was no Internet with Facebooks and other things, so - only in letters and conversations. "The suppression of thought is the governing principle of our government" ... "All attempts to political speeches in Russia are equivalent to the efforts of caring fire from a piece of soap." Etc., etc. Having been hungry, sometimes even on the holy one: "It should be understood once for all that in Russia there is nothing serious except Russia itself." Moreover: "Russian History to Peter the Great is a continuous memorial service, and after Peter the Great - one criminal case ..."

In poetry - the sons of love for Russia, devotion to its interests, as they understand them, admiration for its highest purpose, and in correspondence and epigrams - "secular slander and, no matter how sad it is to mention it, total Russophobia." Thus, our contemporary in love with him is lamented by those for whom the West is lower than all that can be, and Russia, respectively, is higher. In this regard, he recalls the critic of the insurance-a person who is not in anything, but in the “endless glory of enlightened people,” one of the essential roots of that pestilence, the terrible pestilence that Russian nihilism became for Russia. ”

Marazm is about old age, and before us, no matter how Verita is something else, the opposite, if we call a spade a spade

All this is applied to our days. The usual political misery of Russian people - not only enlightened - finally got the current government that it declared it unlawful. One by one, draft laws and laws themselves appear, indicating what cannot be said aloud. Prior to this, they bypassed general designations: anti-Soviet propaganda, hostile, undermining such and such a system ... Now the specifics went to be written: not to dare, for example, to put Hitler and Stalin on one board. Fall into insanity? Returning to it? They continue to stay in it, because, in fact, they did not come out of it? These conclusions are still far away, as it seems, from science and common sense, that in this case the same thing. Marazm is about old age, and in front of us, no matter how Verita is something else, the opposite, if we call a spade a spade. All last and consuming socio-political unworthy, inexperience, civilizational immaturity. The Russian Cathedral Reason is still powerless before feeling - very blessed, of course, but capricious, changeable, most importantly, always exaggerated, not in the case of inflated.

World cry to a frantic struggle,
The debauchery of minds and distortion of the word -
Everything has risen and everything threatens to you
About the edge of the native! - Such a militia
The world has not seen from the original days ...
Great, know, oh Rus', your meaning!
Twue, stand, bewilder and overcome!

Written in 1855. And what was the matter? What was the matter? The king thought, taking advantage of the trifle preposition, to finally capture the long -lifted straits. The Frenchman and the Englishman said: well, no, this is already too much. This was the "World Klick to Frantic Struggle." Landed in the Crimea. This was it - that which the world "did not see from the original days" ...

Hot, feverish politicization - it is. Fedor Ivanovich did not put his outstanding poetry in anything, but he highly appreciated his bizarre looks. He lived more in politics than cordial affairs, although it would seem that what, and this was impossible in his case. In the service and public position, he constantly met with the first persons of his state and not the last - Western ones, was lined with newspapers and magazines in all languages, and in the subject of his deepest hobby - in "Geopolitics", as they said today, he did not better better than the St. Petersburg coachman ... also: what happened, that was. The more lively the conscious carrier of the Orthodox-imperial consciousness is interested in politics, the less he understands in it. Salary reason, it seems, can get along with anything, but not with the Russian imperial.

And over everything, all defeating - it, mentioned: slander. It is once found in a summer garden with the king. He makes his daily walk. Well? Coureded! The wit will say: the men are healthy, in the prime of life, pulled them to each other. In the eyes of the poet in front of him there was an anointed of God, as it was not to reveal the arms! But years have passed and glory took its own. On the last journey, the poet spent far from the most flattering nickname:

You did not serve God and not Russia,
Served only his bustle,
And all your affairs, and kind and evil, -
Everything was a lie in you, all the ghosts are empty:
You were not a king, but a lyceum.
