Ivan Papenko stood on a viaduct and wanted to dug, and not to kill. Divnogorsk (satellite city of Krasnoyarsk, beautiful landscapes), end of July. And when Papenko hit a 16-year-old girl passing by, and she lost consciousness, he also did not plan to kill her. He dragged it into the bushes, took off the jewelry - that’s the money for vodka. Further, according to the killer, predetermined the defenselessness of the victim. The divided body with a cut throat was found by volunteers, in genetic traces papenko was seized right there-a week before that he was released after a 9-year period of special regime. A pupil of the orphanage, after - immediately in prison, now he is 34 years old.
On that day after everything that happened, he came to the girl who sheltered a few days before the girl with a request to cut his hair and paint the bangs in pink - the schoolgirl killed such a pink bang.
I will not say that this is a model murder for Russia, but some today's processes in the country occur precisely according to this scheme, in this dynamics.
“Crazy with a razor in his hand” - so 60 years ago the poet said about human fate, and this turned out to be about the fate of our contemporaries. There is almost no policy in this, but this is exactly what “almost” is worth talking about, the rest is a negative business.
We will not about gaping voids in the place of ordinary human empathy - only about technological failures: loss of measure, violations of the balance of excitation, aggression and inhibition. About entering the rage - out of the blue, when nothing portends - and the inability to stop. The girl, passing by Papenko, had no idea what was waiting for her. And Papenko himself did not imagine what would happen after he swing.

In Rome, the most advanced and successful emperors removed from the service of legionnaires with such a nervous system: those who lost self -control - they were recognized as unfit for direct battles with the enemy. In the most advanced and successful organized crime groups of the 90s, such militants eliminated their own-otherwise the enterprise itself and all concessionaires were in jeopardy.
The impression that today we have all purely domestic politics in such hands.
A few days later, the court in Abakan will announce the sentence to the local journalist Mikhail Afanasyev. In prison, he is almost a year and a half, accused of discrediting the RF Armed Forces - although not a word about the army in that publication, only about the Russian Guard, and the “act” was committed before this article of the Criminal Code that protects the army was extended to the Russian Guard. What will be the sentence, there is no doubt.
Yes, Afanasyev has mistakes in the text. Without going into the essence of the matter, the main thing: why are they made, where did they come from and what these mistakes mean? There is no evidence that he “obviously lied”, intentionally - nevertheless, the charge is being built on this. For Afanasyev, all these Rosgvardists - and who refused to participate in his, and those who obeyed the order are people relatives. This is the difference between Afanasyev and those who decided their fate in February 22. And from those to whom riot police are simply not sorry, from those who despise them for how they treated people who once went out, a thousand years ago, with peaceful protests.
Afanasyev, until February 24, was interested in them as people, was connected with them, wrote about their problems. He has a personal relationship with them, he, with them, these guys, is one people. A full mouth of iron teeth, social networks full of Russian flags, he also rushed into his marathon runs (tricolor), always went to old right -handed Japanese, the most budget, Toyota Mark II - ideal. Therefore, the youngest son is Mark, he recently turned four. And in total, five children are dependent, two of them on education (as formulated in court).
In general, Mikhail is not an enemy of Russia, not the “Ukrainian Highway”, he is the most condo Russian. Just with indefatigable temperament - not only personal, but also public. And with absolute fearlessness. He was not afraid of mistaken for sure. But he was mistaken, of course, not intentionally. And then: the fear of mistakes cannot be done over the professional duties that the journalist has the same in order to search and disseminate socially significant news. This is in common interests, so that fear does not crush the life forms in Russia completely. Unless, of course, there is something in common in these spaces.
And what do they do with Afanasyev? He is not just planted, he is deprived of the main thing - the family.

Misha was looking for his last wife for a long time, fell in love with his ears. Watching them - there was still a movie. And then Elena immediately, on the first day of their tests, on April 13, 2022, during the search, when Mikhail is delayed, all her personal savings are seized, the entire amount received from the sale of her mother’s apartment, while the case is so that these are the dollars for which Misha bought enemies, then Elena, who worked in a large Russian bank (she was immediately disconnected in her office. Having blocked the work), the security service to Krasnoyarsk, the head of the branch and the head of the security service, the “old colonel” (by self -approval), are being exported by the computer, tamping it for several hours, referring to the “head organization”, forcing her to abandon her husband, open her, the enemy of Russia, eyes.
“And do you consider it possible to continue to work for the state? After all this? How can we trust you with something in the bank-husband and wife are one Satan. He did not think about you when he went against the state. ”
“Decide for yourself - your love. In disconnecting from us, from our decision, see what kind of man it is. Humanly, like a woman, look. To love is fun, of course: you sit and love. And the child says: I want to eat. And he has pepper-he has 73 times ( Afanasyev somehow calculated that from his quarter century in journalism for 15 years he is either under the investigation, or in court, in prison or in the hospital; criminal cases against him-everyone was connected with his professional activity-it was up to the current 14, as a result, he was justified. In total, taking into account all instances, he counted 73 verdicts . He was an excess, and now it will ride. ”
“Navalny was also cool at one time, go abruptly than your husband, and where is he now? It is unlikely that it will come out of here. How many criminal cases did he also have? "
"It will not resolve, and we have reputational risks."
“We don’t know what he will say. Beloved, 300 thousand - and they will release me. Where will you get them? At the bank? "
"When arranging children to work, there may be problems."
Elena remained to work at the bank only thanks to the intervention of the Moscow leadership, to which a large person from the non -state sector turned to - then it still worked. But further the Afanasyev family is taken away by the apartment (Mikhail received it on social hiring), water the slopes in local media - all this provincial conspiracy therapy about the secret intentions of the enemy agent Afanasyev, all this nonsense about his involvement in the Western system of propaganda, etc. Again - comments of good Russian people under these analytical calculations. Dating, calls do not give in principle, the car breaks, the eldest daughter is forced to go to school alone through the whole city, 450 thousand are still hung on Misha ... This is Ivan Papenko sees the victim's defenselessness and goes further. This is rage.
What next? The stigma "Chsir" and Algeria? ( Chsir - a member of the family of a traitor from the Motherland, Algeria - Akmola camp of wives of traitors of the Motherland. )
Having suffered, Elena grabbed the children in an armful and left the country.

This is the fact that with Afanasyev, his family is happening, this indicative cruelty is so that to the ground is the equivalent of an error made in words? Shines Misha from 5 to 10 years. Is it in proportion? Mark, while he will wait for his father, Russian words may not forget, but he - for sure.
These deadlines darkening reason-just for words-as if we are not talking about years, but about days, and as if one of us here in some word can be surprised, frightened, inspired. Words have long been weighing and mean nothing, but the terms that receive for them mean a lot. In particular, the degree of brutality of these spaces, where this became possible.
The same person, thanks to whom Elena remained in the bank and retained her balance in the first year after the arrest of her husband, said - not specifically about this case - in general: “As if the sadists hid a shameful tendency for a long time, and then they explained to them that this is patriotism. That patriotism is all these practices:
The prison of Evgenia Berkovich , who kills her adoptive daughters almost literally, right now, to any sentences/statements;
The prison of Kaliningradza Igor Baryshnikov with his suspicion of cancer, with cystostom ( born in 1959 and 7.5 years of zones for posts on social networks, appreciated as fakes about the army ), a refusal to visit his mother’s funeral;
the lack of the results of the investigation - despite the intervention of Moskalkova - execution with a sledgehammer ,
Beating the prisoner of Kadyrov's son ... "
Yes, all this is interpreted precisely as patriotism, as the desire to protect our "lifestyle" as "our duty to heavy Godin." (I would leave the Chechen episode aside - the Chechens conquered the right to their morality and morality from Russia, to their own scale of values, and it would be necessary to talk about the incident in the pre -trial detention center of the Terrible, but about the decision to give there the prisoner Nikita of the crane. It is not surprising his beating, but the fact that he is still alive.)

About the "Godin": of, of course, it matters in the flight of us in the abyss, but not decisive. The whole history of mankind shows a reverse causal connection: at first the masses are fragmented, then wars begin, and not vice versa. And Nikita Uvarova was arrested in his age, presented a terrorist article and did not give either dates with his mother or calls for the first 9 months - long before the special operation. And for five years he was given before it began.
And in everything was already seen then the obvious loss of measure, non -discretion, and clouding. And the legislative framework was brought under this loss, in principle, the measure could not be lost, if the children could be judged exclusively to the military tribunal. Administrative and preventive work - this is what was required; One correct male conversation would have saved both guys, and all this bunch of people in uniform and without them, would not have to take sin to the soul. Well, let the jury. No. The conversations, the work of psychologists, teachers were replaced by a slaughter period, indicative ruthlessness to the only guy who was not afraid, did not sign the recognition for dictation.
It seemed impossible to explain the physiology (that is, the sampling and searching for yourself) inherent in criminalism and politics. Keep exclusively a home guy for his “intentions” in the same cell with those who really killed people. Overbringing, incomparable in the absolute, disproportion, asymmetry, from a cannon through sparrows; Tribunals are not engaged in trifles and even more so children's trifles. For disrespect for the court, this should be released a couple of stinging rows addressed to the FSB and SK, and undergrowths to be directed to the cleaning of city walls from advertisements.
And how many such stories, such senseless fierce, inhumanity have been in the country in recent years?

First of all, mass -reasonable killings, murders according to the model of Ivan Papenko, multiplied by the coefficient, if a person did not have a rose in his hand, but a firearm - for example, when an unremarkable man of 45 years old, only proving that he served in the Airborne Forces, killed nine (Redino, Tver region, 2017). Or when it was not remarkable, except for the fact that he used to sit, a 36 -year -old man cut out a family of 5 people - the mistress of the house, her husband, son, her husband’s little granddaughter and brother (Jim, Khakassia, 2021): on the eve of the killer, his girlfriend broke the relationship, and he, “wanting to cause moral suffering”, killed her whole family (she left).
These are already those who entered the rage. And how many incoming - for example, all those people who wrote about Nikita wrote that they gave little? This is in a country with an until recently universal secondary education, in a country where everyone heard something about the "tears of the child."
How many were those who, two weeks after the sentence, Uvarov, February 24, experienced ecstasy and wrote about the extermination of the Nazis? Who are they themselves?
Not only the authorities - all of Russia prepared for the loss of the measure, rolled itself up and at the same time brought it down, and said to the demons (they are always nearby, which is far to leave): we are here, we were waiting. She said: come in us. And the demons entered - what not to enter, since they were prepared again.
At home, these people, to whom you are coming, used to stand on the shelves of the book (well, or crystal), now everyone has icons there. And in the heads-something consistency and the colors of the bloody diarrhea. With an uncomplicated picture of the world, the logic of the simplest, cave, paranoid. There are enemies, we must destroy enemies, all measures are good.
Therefore, the other day, when Anna Uvarova told me about visiting the room in the camp detachment, which contains her son Nikita, about the window open in winter (this is Eastern Siberia) with the missing pen and the opportunity to close the window, about the repetition of this situation, when the parents of the teenagers were again allowed to the colony - I understood that her hysteria was unlikely to impress anyone there. Just think - it’s cold. The air is fresh. Take out like steel.

Who would impartly investigate the motives of all the vile little things of the system that depress and lower the person to dust, the motives of demonstrative atrocities. For what? For show, in intimidation? Or is it not on the assignment, but goes from the inside?
Frightened people injured, therefore, who are held in power, at least minimal - do they take revenge for their own peril and injuries? Or is it a secret, of the most hidden depths of sadism? Most often, it seems to me that these answers are by. Well, who is here to frighten? Yes, and people who claim here soullessness and darkness are more and more ordinary in appearance, do not knock with hooves, well, and who is without a flaw ... And it seems to me, most often these are just traditional practices, these are purely ritual - both humiliation and ruthlessness. This is a habit, the second nature.
Thousands of overlords of torment. In the forms and the framework that they allowed. And since now they allowed not the worst in themselves not to hide, it is approved, these people regularly encourage the zombie, ritual sadism has come more distinct and large -scale. Like from the Ferris wheel. The wheel of approval and encouragement is rolled through the country.
There were always enough aphacy and obscurantism on Russian plains. And they could not be ashamed of them for a long time. Moreover, it was cultivated and nurtured. But today it is also encouraged. And even if we are talking about youngsters - there is no terrible document than Leonid Gabyshev’s testimony “Odlyan” about Soviet children's colonies, the more often you catch yourself on the fact that the USSR seems to be already with a magical utopia (and not the realized anti -utopia), a “pink”, a fairy tale against today's insanity. Although it is also a fairy tale in which any statement of reality, even with the most patriotic intentions made, looks like pity and discrediting.
Well, yes, in the USSR, the Afghan war was filed as an “international duty”, “help of the fraternal people”, it was impossible to present the propaganda of the war, the country's leaders spoke exclusively about the desire for the world, humanism and mercy were welcomed, and not rejected (and not only, in words, in the scenery, on the facade, but only what a striking difference with today's open day). In general, peace and good were declared, great humanists worked in the country, and not all of them drove and planted them.
And today: the primitivization of all the spheres of life and its ardor, the release of the old, waited evil, the spirit of violence, now only he is worn over these plains. If earlier weeds tried to weed, now they are the main ones, to crush cultural shoots is a matter of few (on the fingers of one hand) years. It became possible, it became the norm, in a long time locked with a garden inventory (well, unless the mop from there were used as a vertical tool) - dancing on a rake.
All the long -standing mechanisms, all the tools - here, and everything went into operation. All poorly attached guns on the ship, as usual, got rid of the storm. Well, the gun hung in the first act - the devil with him, would hang further. But life imitates art, and now everything is in competently tailored fiction, technological cinema. All the rake again under our feet.
... and we meet with ourselves eyes in the eyes, all with everyone.
And everything that is happening to us now is very similar to ourselves. And everything is not as bad as it ends.
I, if anything, is not about a nuclear war. I’m talking about the fact that in the hearts of millions there has already been a thermonuclear incarnating explosion that leaves no sentiment, nothing human. And after that - everything is allowed. And in this world, very many do not want to live. So, they are allowed to destroy it.
Well, what is the value in it - in a world where a person is from 10 to 20 logs (the authorities of one Siberian Republic for each mobilized were given a family of firewood, from 10 to 20 cubic meters)? Man-Breweanno. This is not a new meaning, it is from the middle of the last century hello to us.
What is the value in the world, what imitates Ivan Papenko? В мире, в котором человека можно размозжить кувалдой, но даже не это страшно, и не то, что это не расследовано, и не то, что это снималось, — страшно количество просмотров того, как на голову человека опускают молот.
Мир, что прерывисто дышит ненавистью, часто безадресной, всех ко всем, полон ожидания только худшего. Мир, где все наглядней гибельные результаты внутривидового отбора, идущего уже больше века, с начала Первой мировой. С доминирующими сейчас повсюду эпилептоидами, их агрессией и прагматизмом, отмороженностью и изощренностью, — они урывают от схлопывающейся жизни последнее.
Мир, который скатился в эсхатологические арканарские хроники и скоро докатится до края.
