The phrase of Lenin “Any cook is able to rule the state” everyone knows. Meanwhile, the leader did not say that. That is, he spoke about the cook, but a little differently: “We are not utopians. We know that any laborer and any cook is not able to enter into the government of the state right now ... But we ... demand an immediate gap with the prejudice that to rule the state ... only rich or from wealthy families taken by the taken officials. We demand that the training of public administration be conducted by conscious workers and soldiers and that it is started immediately. ”
Ilyich, as it were, called for social equality, and his covenants are partially implemented by grateful descendants.
Is it true that in foreign agents are prescribed mainly eminent, influential and wealthy? No, of course, they decided in the Ministry of Justice. And they torn with this prejudice, including a simple cook, that is, a milkmaid in a constantly replenished register of foreign agents.
I do not envy the future generations who will have to break their heads in an attempt to understand what is common between the chief of the popular radio station and the comedian, the Nobel laureate and the 19-year-old blogger-nominee, the former prime minister and milkmaid from the village of Partisan of the Tula region.
To help the distant descendants-a large plot that came out on the YouTube channel Irina Shikhman* "And to talk?" A miracle what kind of plot. His heroine is the same milkmaid Elena Agafonova*, who in May of this year was included in the register of "foreign Agents".
Elena Agafonova, together with her husband Alexander, lead a farm - hold cows, pigs, a bird. In the specialty, she is not just a milkmaid, but a master of machine milking of cattle. And not just a master. In free from machine milking, Elena is engaged in social activities: calls for the response of local officials, protects the rights of her fellow countrymen and shoots videos that she uploads to YouTube. Frankly, this is not a simple and not at all typical milkmaid this Elena Agafonova, from whom local authority is one headache.
Young, beautiful, strong, fearless, it seems to be a lively embodiment of the image of Russian women that Nekrasov wrote about: “There are women in Russian villages with the calm importance of faces, with beautiful power in motion, with gait and gaze of queens ...”
Well, then the well -known: about the horse, whom this beauty will stop at the horse, and the burning hut, where, without hesitation, will enter.
There is no horse on the farm of Agafonova, but the “iron horse”, as in the first years of Soviet power, was called a tractor, Agafonov runs dashingly. And laughs at the same time. She can’t occupy a sense of humor at all. In the video, which she shot herself and posted on her YouTube channel, Elena, before pulling her husband's foreign car stuck in the mud, jokes behind the scenes: “Here is my husband, he supports the current regime. I adhere to a completely different position ... Here, look, the historical moment when a foreign agent will pull out the Putin regime from the swamp. ”
Sasha’s husband really suits everything. There is food in stores, there is water, there is light, there are some money-what can you still demand from the authorities? "Is there something that does not suit you?" - asks the journalist. “I would like more money, but I won’t go to the president with this. No matter how kindly a person makes good, but there will still be claims ... And who will come to Putin? Show who? No one to choose from. ”
However, they live with their wife in the world and relative consent. Five children grow. Elena herself admits with a laugh - when she received a black label of the foreign agent, she told her husband: “You know, Sasha, you probably have to divorce me so that you have no consequences.” He is perplexed: "I do not even know how to relate to this [foreign agency], what is it with?"
The neighbors as a whole belong to the activities of Agafonova kindly, they call among themselves a Russian folk foreigner. But the road worker who puts the asphalt in the village, and Elena criticizes his work and shoots the video, hearing that she is a foreign agent, declares: “I will not communicate. You are funded by abroad. " Officials are completely shied away from her camera. “I will not allow any questions from foreign agents,” one such servant of the people screams hysterically. The other simply does not answer questions, and then, without saying a word, quickly leaves his office.
Agafonova is like a bone in the throat. They react to her activism in a very peculiar way: they threw an expensive wreath with a mourning ribbon and an inscription on it to the gates of the house: "Happy birthday, dear Lenochka." Apparently, its appointment by the foreigner was not without their mediation. She painfully actively defended her fellow countryman Alexei Moskalev, who first took her daughter Masha, who painted an anti -war drawing, and then he himself was imprisoned - under the article for discrediting the army. “They encroach on the family, and we are silent. This is fine? - says Elena. - Sasha will say to this: "We are little people, what can we?" And there are actually a lot of us. And the state is very afraid of the associations of people. ” By the way, Agafonov was also fined 45 thousand rubles, attributing her the same discredit. She is amazed: "How can such a small woman discredit such a large strong army?"
Irina Shikhman removed the document of huge revealing power-someday it will be studied by the wild customs and absurd realities of our era.
Shikhman herself, contrary to the usual in the frame, does not appear, although the voice behind the scenes seems to be her. Perhaps she communicates with the heroes of the plot remotely, by video communication. Most likely, Irina did not come to the village of Partisan: also recognized as an ino -agent, the journalist left Russia some time ago. And the expressive paintings of the village life and the life of the domestic mining, most likely, was shot by one of the freelancers living here, but did not want to open their face and release the name in the credits of the release. Dangerous. A lively illustration of Sasha’s husband’s words: “Under Stalin, they gave 25 years for a joke, and now you can say anything.” Blessed, who believes.
