Six slander

Two -time Olympic champion Elena Isinbaeva with the words about the nominal title of Major angry even those who never held a gun in their hands

Frankly: I was not going to write about it. I thought and was sure that the storm of indignation, which caused the statement of the great athlete in the past, would end within 24 hours. But now a week has passed, and Elena Isinbaev continues to discuss and rinse, opening up new details of her life in Spain. Therefore, you will still have to joyfully plunge into this “phenomenal-nominal” story and look at all its characters.

Let's immediately go to business, or rather, to the phrase that outraged and put on the ears of those who today without fail want to divide the country into their own and strangers. Here is the quote Elena Isinbaeva.

QUOTE

Elena Isinbaeva:

“Until 2018, I played for CSKA and was awarded high awards and titles for outstanding sports achievements. Those titles that they talk about today are nominal nature, since I am not consistent and has never been in the service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Just like never, he was a deputy of the State Duma or a member of any party. My vocation is sport. ”

In a normal and healthy society, they would not pay attention to such a passage. Well, she said and said. To be offended by athletes (they are right or not in their thoughts and feelings) is how to be offended by children. Just stupid. And to be offended by athletes that brought the country medals and glory (and Elena won so many awards and set so many records that football players and hockey players can rest), it’s just a shame.

But this, I repeat, is in a healthy and peaceful society. And we have a special situation with a special military X -ray through which every word is visible. And then many functionaries, deputies, journalists and their career colleagues in the workshop simply skewed.

Here is what the former president of the All -Russian Athletics Federation Valentin Balakhnichev gave out.

QUOTE

Valentin Balakhnichev:

“Lena should think about the fact that with her last statement she harmed not only herself, but also the Russian Federation. A person cannot be believed. The fact that she disavowed all the good attitude that was to her in Russia is completely clear. This is a huge moral mistake. ”

Four -time Olympic biathlon champion Dynamo Alexander Tikhonov pushed for honor and dignity.

QUOTE

Alexander Tikhonov:

“I do not agree with her, the title of major must be worn with pride, especially representing CSKA, the most prestigious club in the Soviet Union to this day. Isinbaev should work out everything, because Russia gave her everything. "

The Krutka and Constencorn was the Minister of Sports Oleg Matytsin.

QUOTE

Oleg Matytsin:

“It is unacceptable to treat the military rank and civil position, to the events that take place in your country. Each person who loves his country is negative about such statements. ”

Well, the deputy Roman Tereshkov, by tradition, went his usual way and promised to turn (or already turned?) To the Prosecutor General.

QUOTE

Roman Tereushkov:

“Given the clear intent of Isinbaeva to discredit the Armed Forces of Russia and desecrate the title of an officer in order to maintain an income place to the IOC, I contact the General Prosecutor's Office to take measures. An officer who consciously discrediting the honor of the uniform should be deprived of a military rank. ”

The boxer from the State Duma Nikolai Valuev also mentioned the “profitable place”.

QUOTE

Nikolai Valuev:

“To say that she was not a military man is true. But to say that it was not connected with the army is absolutely not true. But the IOC arranged her statement. Isinbaeva decided that she would be a relocant, and also retained the post in the IOC. ” Here we must explain that back in 2016, Isinbaeva was elected as members of the International Olympic Committee.

The President of the Makhachkala Dynamo Honored Coach of Russia Haji Hajiyev also carefully omitted Elena.

QUOTE

Haji Gadzhiev:

“She preferred a life that suits her in Spain, not in her homeland. I do not welcome such an act in athletes! If you renounce your homeland, you can call it in any word, including betrayal. Live there, okay. Why talk about the country that fed you? "

It is noteworthy that the home stadium of the blue and white, named after the Olympic champion, will now probably be renamed (the head of Dagestan Sergey Melikov has already made a sharp proposal).

However, such renaming retroactively cause only bewilderment and smile, and perfectly characterize primarily those who do this. As Anatoly Byshovets once said at a press conference, "there is no limit to the limit." And this phrase describes the unfolding dancing with patriotic tambourines around Isinbaeva, which, incidentally, has not renounced anyone and did not violate any norms.

It's funny that one of those who supported Lena was Dmitry Peskov. The presidential spokesman in a mild form called for condescension.

QUOTE

Dmitry Peskov:

“Of course, the sports community reacts harshly to the statement by Isinbaeva. It turns out that, not knowing what it was about, we simply collapse on the athlete, who was recently proud of. She did not condemn anything, she did not criticize anyone, she performs her functions, and where she lives, in the end, it does not matter at all. In honor of it, our anthem played so many times and our flag rose that it must be remembered and we must not forget. ”

By the way, Peskov got from the people too: they say, it defends Isinbaev, because he himself has real estate abroad ... However, real estate in this matter plays a role, although important, but still secondary.

Incredibly, but the fact: the odious deputy Sultan Khamzaev, who, although he joined the Peloton of the deterioration, spoke out wisely in places.

QUOTE

Sultan Khamzaev:

“I believe that Elena’s position is initially erroneous, this position can be called reckless. Before you say something, you need to think carefully: was it necessary to do this at all? ”

But the trouble is that most of our athletes did not end universities. Or ended very conditionally. Biathlonist Svetlana Ishmuratova Elena also condemned mercilessly, but in her individual words there is a certain answer. Evaluate yourself.

QUOTE

Svetlana Ishmuratova:

“All this resembles her statements when we voted for amendments to the Constitution, and Elena said that she first opened the Constitution and read, and in general, what an interesting book is ... This is the current statement, it seems to me from the series that she said then, only a hundred times worse.”

Although with the fact that this is “a hundred times worse” does not agree. If you turn on the head, as the teachers said at school, then in the words of Elena there is no collision with majors and other military titles. She just formulated her thought firmly. This is aware of even a two -time Olympic champion in Biathlon (biathlonists, oddly enough, this story was especially caught) Dmitry Vasiliev. Here is his message.

QUOTE

Dmitry Vasiliev:

“Most likely, Lena expressed herself incorrectly. Perhaps he does not fully understand the seriousness of what is considered an officer of the Russian army. If she is ordered to go to any military operations, he will be obliged to go. ”

He who orders her is unclear, but the thing is that Isinbaeva had in mind that she was not a major of military terms. It’s like in Soviet times that many Torpedo players were listed as locksmiths and milling workers at the factory ... Of course, as many commentators suggested, Elena probably received a non -nominal salary and not nominal benefits for her “stars”. Well, it is logical: she brought the country medals, and received in return tangible bonuses. At the same time, she did not ask (!) To produce it to the major ... And here, as the former athlete, Joland Chen correctly noted, the questions should be asked to those who distribute such titles to the right and to the left.

I’ll add from myself: it is stupid, for example, to blame Russian football players that millions of euros pay them. You need to cheat those who pay them.

And it is not necessary to discuss Isinbaev, but by the generals who write out epaulets both in the trenches and those who are on sports arenas.

But who will publicly rinse the real generals and the Minister of Defense (although there is a suspicion that many of them perform their functions just nominally)?

But to give virtual cuffs to an athlete is please. Like, she used to be Putin’s confidant in the 2012 election, then joined Putin Team, entered the working group on amendments to the Constitution (which means she was involved in reversing the presidential term), and now she rushed with her children and her husband for Canaries (although she always stated that she would not leave to live from Russia), and from there “patriotic” spat in the soul The military in such a difficult period for the state. In addition, she is now there - in chocolate and penthouse with two villas, and here we are in shit and in the pitchfork. That is, Isinbaev, according to many Russians, is also guilty of everything that is happening now in the country. Oh…

... Extremely competently stood up for a participant in three Olympiads and winner of 28 world records Olympic champion and FSBR President Mikhail Mamiashvili.

QUOTE

Mikhail Mamiashvili:

“I myself am an officer - from the ordinary to the colonel I went and is proud of it. My shoulder straps in the most prominent place lie, and I want my descendants to be proud of them, but I do not run after the tank, do not take languages. Which of me is a combat officer? I solved the tasks that the command set before me, on the sports ground. And Isinbaeva too. Yes, she said inaccurately, but why are we getting off the chain? I am not going to act as a anyone’s lawyer, but I understand what Elena meant, speaking of the "formality" of her service. "

You probably guess that Mikhail Gerazievich immediately flew in the comments already for the “Colonel nominal” from those who fell off the chain.

This, of course, could have been completed. But immodestly I will give an excerpt from my Croatian reporting in 2005.

“I watched the fantastic and without any exaggeration with the historical flight of Lena for five meters in Croatia. Guessing, how to beg at the bartender to see athletics, did not notice how one of the foreign visitors jumped to the “box” and, having muttered something, switched to the desired Eurosport. In the meantime, the bar was filled with Germans, Italians, Swedes, Spaniards and Frenchmen who relaxed on the coast. Beer flowed to the river, and everyone looked at the screen, where there was a live broadcast from London - from the IAAF tournament. The camera switched to the sixth jump sector. Isinbaeva was in the frame, ordering five meters! The people hummed. I did not believe my eyes. Not only did the comrades with Apennin and Pireneev not watch football, but athletics, so they also sincerely worried about the Russian woman. When Lena scattered, all those present at the command stood up and smoothly raised his hands, as if helping our athlete take off. When the cosmic height was overcome for women, they set off on dance ... "

On July 26, the Central Headquarters of the Popular Front excluded Elena Isinbaeva from the leading composition of the organization.
