New Year's congratulations to the people. Tatyana Malkina says goodbye to the USSR, this time was forever

For a month I wrote and washed the ode "on the thirty years of the collapse of the USSR." I really wanted to write it. I have a complex: from the very first days of my work, since 1990, I got used to the postulate that about such, about a saint-about administrative-territorial-political division and its babies, that is, only mature and narrowly specializing in the topic experts have the right to write the right to write. Only adults who secretly discussed the fate of their homeland with hard -to -reach sources in the Politburo of the Central Committee of the CPSU, when I walked under the table, only admitted to secret protocols and secret knowledge.

And life, of course, was preventing me from writing all the time, threw one or the other a reason to remember about the USSR. And the anniversary of the events celebrated widely, like Shrovetide, only the lazy did not speak out, I had to read a lot of different texts. But I was completely shocked by one small oral - the lamentation of the President of the Russian Federation about the nineties, which would not be as a phenomenon, do not end with the Soviet Union. More precisely, the years, of course, would be, but it is not known if you and I would be here.

I listened to this fragment many times, it seems to me that it has the key to the cipher that is used in that parallel universe, where the collapse of the USSR is called a geopolitical catastrophe. This is this fragment: “Sometimes I had to earn extra money. It is unpleasant to talk about it, but, unfortunately, it was also. ” I have developed an imagination, but, remaining within the framework of a conscientious mental experiment, I can’t imagine the reason why a person of not aristocratic origin, who had a personal car at the beginning of the nineties, driving skills, time and desire to earn money for the family, could talk about it as if he killed kittens for whitewashes for the sake of eating, processed a pimp or stole a trifle from the poor.

It seems to be my misunderstanding - a real trifle. But no.

Where are the money subscribers going

Most Republic materials are available by paid subscription. We believe that this is a good way to finance media.

In our case, everything is honest: from your money, salaries and fees are paid to journalists, and they write about important and interesting topics for you.

The key feature of our subscription: your money is distributed between Republic magazines depending on how you read it. If you read the materials of one magazine, then your money will go only to him, while others will not go. That is, you finance only what you are interested in.
