Stop-stand-up?

Solovyov’s collision on Kvashonkina, remote videos, canceled shows, operatives at concerts. And six abstracts of Danila transverse

“We understood the signal,” says Danila Transverse in his new video, “we need to fill up *** [bread], we began to afford too much.” Behind the back of the transverse - the scenery of his show "20 jokes". “I don’t know if it will come out someday.” An amazing podcast of our most courageous stand-up comic: in half an hour there is almost no joke, a lot of mat and quotes from the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

No one can demand a baptized baptist for a bunker, but what is happening in the standing after improving Idrak Mirzizade and his lifelong exile from the country, similar to the defeat of the genre. Although, perhaps, they still have a real defeat ahead.

Judge for yourself. The last work of the transverse: Video about buying a car (commentary in Yetube: “You still tell us how you relaxed in Turkey!”) And an interview with Kuklachev about cats. Latest works by Sasha Dolgopolova: Podcasts about dates and favorite places in Moscow. All this resembles a replica of Idrak immediately after leaving the pre -trial detention center: “Well, that means I’ll joke about teapots, I have jokes about teapots.”

Cats and dates are, to put it mildly, not what they expect from Dolgopolov with the transverse, given their reputation. More recently, the topics were completely different: arrests, rallies, corruption, dishonest elections, criticism of the Russian Orthodox Church. And not because they are such rabid opposition and fighters with a regime. It’s just that the comedians speak with people about their lives, and life now consists in many ways, unfortunately.

Simultaneously with the Utuub channel of the Moscow stand-up-club No. 1, almost all issues of the News show “Udraz Biratzse”, in which Alexei Kvashonkin, Garik Oganisyan, Idrac Mirzizade and Alexander Dolgopolov participated. Remove for a reason. The joke pulled out of the “prudes” caused Solovyov’s recent collision on Kvashonkin comedian. Given how effectively Soloviev works with punishing organs and gives them a tip on new victims, alarming for Kvashonkin. Until recently, in the acceleration program, friends joked: “As if we would not have to go out with the poster“ Lech is not an enemy! ” That is, as it were, not to become the next after the Mirzazalya, for which they went out with the posters “Idrak is not an enemy!”.

Crowning. Now Soloviev calls him “Goebbels Peretnisy” and “Stentapfuhrer”.

And he accuses that he seriously called Russia "this of your *** [garbage]." Although the message of Kvashonkin’s joke was the exact opposite: “How much you can scold Russia!” I remind you, by the way, that none of the comedians received it for their patriotic position as Kvashonkin. He was already called by the eyes of a Russian Nazi, and people from the unpleasant Solovyov camp. Although he, of course, is not a Nazi, just a person who loves his homeland and worries about it.

But this used to laugh at the flows of dirt, pouring Solovyov’s mouth (“centuries -old shame”, “ringing scum”, “stood in the way at the Immortal Regiment), and now we know that measures could follow this mud until planting and expulsion from the country. The question is: and who is Goebbels now?

Unfortunately, Soloviev is not one. I don’t want to find out which of them was the first, but RT journalist Konstantin Priybailo already demanded to check the joke of Kvashonkin for Russophobia. Previously, this was called a denunciation, but now, probably, a “signal”, “manifestation of vigilance”. And there are many such examples: fines, threats, demand for public apologies. So the case of Idrak is not something out of the ordinary. This is a trend. There is an attack on a stand -up, no one particularly hides that this is so. Its goal is to intimidate, to force to “fill up *** [bread]”, as the transverse put it.

And it will continue. According to the same transverse, recently at Stalldap's concerts, employees of the EC center frequent. They used to love good humor and good music. The musicians of the Porn Film group told me about repeated cases of operational filming at their concerts. About the same thing on the stand -up, only quite frankly, in open. Magnets are removed, jokes are recorded, a folder with materials for each is becoming thicker and thicker. And they also come for the scenes and gently, in a friendly manner, advise: "Guys, do not say what you say."

What to do with all this? Is there a way out? He is trying to find a transverse. Before starting to speak, he repeats many times: "I do not want to insult anyone, I do not urge anyone to anything." And he explains: "In modern legislative climate, one is impossible otherwise." But disclaimers no longer save. I recall the phrase with which the stand-up club No. 1 preceded his video: “In all jokes about Putin, our close friend Valery Putin means.” Even this harmless joke now sounds criminal and certainly will not save from repressions.

Here are a few abstracts in my retelling.

• Let's call a spade a spade and do not fool each other. Undesirable = prohibited. Do not need this coquetry. And so you can introduce the death penalty, and in the sentence it will be written: "Your living is undesirable." We are not animals. And everyone will say: "It's okay."

• Do not hang the criminal for deserves the maximum of administrative punishment. Words, even if you really do not like them, do not cause real damage to anyone. The most severe punishment of the possible is a fine.

• The legislation does not prescribe the definition of irony. And how can one judge for what is not? Irony is when words do not carry literal meaning. It is implied not what is said. Spectators read this, but there is no law. So, for example, in the "frying" comedians harshly insult each other, and then hug and continue to be friends. They have a sense of humor, the law has no sense of humor.

• About Soloviev. "Idiots need an opinion leader who would direct their idiocy to the side necessary for the government."

• The argument “would try to say this in another country” moronic. It’s how to beat his wife, who changed, and then say: “In Afghanistan, she would be killed at all.” There are a lot of places where they do the same as we, or worse, but it does not justify us. And finally: the comedians in the West say much tougher things than we. Sometimes they “fly away” for this. And what?

• You can now crush everyone. Today you poison Idrak, and tomorrow you will be hunching in correctional work for calling the boss of the bastard.

And most importantly. What the comedians do, in fact, is profitable for the state. This is the release of steam.

The only opportunity we have the opportunity to express our emotions in a world where nothing is impossible: neither to the rallies to go out, nor the right to protect. Let us joke if you do not want us to seriously rebel.

... In the fall of the 14th year, the guide and I traveled around the war zone. Armed personalities wandered on the roads dozens without identification signs. They stopped cars, took passengers to the side of the road - and hello. When we were stopped for the first time and put the machine gun in the window, I expected that the conductor would say to behave quietly and not to lean out. But he said something else: “Just do not be silent, carry any nonsense. As soon as you shut up, shoot. While you say, you live. ”

I remembered this: "While you say, you live." About this is trying to explain the transverse: silence for the country is death.

He frankly says: "This video I try to agree with the authorities." Is it surrender? Don't think. But even if we assume that the leading millionaire comedians will capitulate and will now joke exclusively about cats and kettles, this will not change anything. Behind them are thousands of young and hungry standards who are ready to perform for free in tiny eatery and apartments in front of an audience of ten people. They came to this world to speak, no prohibitions will be stopped by them.

I recently talked with a man from Belarus. He told me about the wave of underground concerts that are held throughout the country. Belarusians gather in private territories and listen to musicians or just interesting people. From time to time they are covered by riot police. They are beaten, planted, kicked out of work. But the Belarusians learned conspiracy, and now riot police come far from always and not even very often.

This is a real underground. Apparently, we also move in this direction.
