Russian philosophy was outlawed
The number of curses that the widow of Alexander Zinoviev brought down on the heads of the employees of the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences cannot be calculated. What are they guilty of? And what does the "disadnialization" of Russian philosophical thought mean, which is required by the "philosophical patriotic front"? The doctor of philosophical sciences Julia Sineokoy and analyst Andrei Kolesnikov is discussing. The program "Faces to the event" Elena Rykovtseva is conducting.
Video version of the program
Elena Rykovtseva: Our meeting today is of a philosophical and philological character. So far, a serious conversation about vocabulary. For Ukrainians, as you know, Vladimir Putin introduced two words into everyday life - these are “denazification” and “demilitarization”. Our today's heroes, one of them, at least, introduced another word for Russians: it sounds like "decapadnization." So far, for starters, Russian philosophers are going to "disable". By the way, saying this word "decapadnization", I thought that maybe the west and trap have one origin; Probably, from this trap, Russians really need to be pulled out. So far, not everyone, so far, is partially, and so far begin with philosophers, then fragile student minds, which can be prohibited to think critically. Let's listen to this person: what exactly he is trying to ban.

0:00 0:04:34Elena Rykovtseva: Vinnik said: there they study some nonsense-blunders of Russian propaganda. He did not say "Bloopers of Russian Television", he said "Bloopers of Russian Propaganda." You can imagine how firmly people have the understanding of the fact that everything that is shown on Russian television is propaganda! Even Professor Vinnik did not escape such a blunder. We are still bad for us from critical thinking, apparently, we will now criticize this professor.
So far, for starters, Russian philosophers are going to "disable"
Andrei Kolesnikov is in touch with us. We just had a program that Naryshkin declared a potential “fifth column”, pests of the Russian elections of all who received education in the United States. Now we have a ban on critical thinking courses. The question is somehow to formulate or you yourself understand what to say about this?
Andrei Kolesnikov: All conversations at this press conference from the soil, National-imperial camp are aimed at hired as a monopoly power to formulate the ideology of Russia. A passing task is natural to get an entire academic institute. By the way, excellent real estate is a pottery, not far from Taganka, a skyscraper on the Kotelnikiye embankment, an excellent place, I would like to manage Russian ideology, Russian philosophy. The degree of success is not very clear. In their reasoning, in addition to the accusation of the Institute of Philosophy, they go into some completely incomprehensible jungle. What does critical thinking have to do with it? What is it? These critical thinking courses, I suspect, are taught in some universities just from the perspective of what needs to be fought with Western propaganda. I am sure that they will be reformatted now.
Elena Rykovtseva: Factcheck. These courses are still useful.
Andrei Kolesnikov: Vinnik could never work in any normal newspaper, because the check bureau would not miss his texts: factskeeping is part of the work on the material, on the article, and on any text.
Elena Rykovtseva: What will we comment now, where do we take all these sentences and ideas? This gathered a group of people: one of them, Professor Poles, in my opinion, is engaged in philosophy in the Higher School of Economics , Olga Zinovieva is the widow of the philosopher Alexander Zinoviev , this man from the financial institution, in my opinion, is also called a philosopher, the fourth tried to become the director of the Institute of Philosophy. That is, these are people who have something to do with philosophy, they always talk about some kind of grant: everything that we now offer deserves a certain Grant. You understand what this grant is for?
They want to monopolize the wire discourse with philosophical means
Andrei Kolesnikov: To which this grant, quite intelligently, explained the most intelligent of them - Leonid Polyakov. This man, who, by the way, worked at the Institute of Philosophy, accuses his former colleagues that they are not Russian philosophers. He said that there is philosophy during the war - neutral, there are circumstances of life, philosophy is developing within the country, articles are written, and so on. There is a philosophy against war - what the Institute of Philosophy is accused of. True, I did not notice the particularly anti -war articles of the Institute of Philosophy, except, possibly, articles published by a brilliant philosopher, one of the best philosophers of the country Alexander Rubtsov, who, unfortunately, died in December last year. There, said Professor Polyakov, philosophy in the war. That is, they want to monopolize the wire discourse with philosophical means, claim, in fact, to the laurels of Dugin.
Elena Rykovtseva: What do they want to do?
Andrey Kolesnikov: A program of actions, some grants, canceling some courses, the introduction of some courses, but, most importantly, all this is needed for money. Making money. In half -tank modes, any group that claims to participate in the shielding of civil society, the opposition, always claims to be money: we are patriots, but we need to pay.

Elena Rykovtseva: Julia Sineokoy is in touch with us. We have not yet reached the vocabulary, in which you also appear, there are two words that you have identified, we will plunder them. What do they want? You probably also watched this entire press conference. The fact that "we want to plant you all," we will still discuss this, the repressive part of the press conference. Well, they removed the courses of critical thinking. They say: we do not mind if colleagues from the Institute of Philosophy will reformat their brain, let them join us. Where are they joining - did you understand while you were looking?
Julia Sineokoy: I have been watching this company for a long time, they have been in such a composition for three years. For me, as for every sane person, all this is a depressing sight. The forces are very mediocre, they cannot offer anything. There are three specific proposals of Leonid Polyakov, by the way, in the past a person is very interesting: when I studied at Moscow State University, he gave lectures that enjoyed great success. He then studied Berdyaev , released the anthology of Peter I, even, I remember, he wrote a very touching narrative how he went to save the White House. Now it looks very pale-it is a pale copy of what was once.
The forces are very mediocre, they cannot offer anything
What they offer is just ridiculous! Indeed, probably, this whole program can meet a small grant that they can get. They want, on the one hand, revenge, retribution, and on the other hand, they want to get status, some kind of legitimation. Just as all the numerous structures of Dugin, are not academic, these are such amateur mugs, which is nothing bad, it is wonderful, such an educational movement from below, if it is harmless. But they claim to power. If a person has any idea, a program, then it doesn’t matter, people can do it enthusiasm, and it works if it is in demand by time and society. But since what they offer, no one needs, it is incomprehensible and uninteresting. You have to fight for power, because no one voluntarily wants to do this.
Elena Rykovtseva: Interesting: they complain that even employees of the Academy of Sciences do not come to them, they do not want to hang out with them.
Julia Sineokoy: there is no sense in their activity. For example, Polyakov proposed to publish 50 volumes of Russian philosophy. You know, there were two huge projects: the first project that he mentioned, the 90s. Under the magazine, “questions of philosophy”, they released just 50 volumes, which were called “from the history of Russian philosophical thought”: the first publications of philosophical texts. The second series, which is still warming up, was published under the auspices of the Institute of Philosophy, it is called "the philosophy of Russia of the first half of the twentieth century and the second half of the twentieth century." There are about a hundred completely brilliant volumes: texts, comments, and works about these philosophers. Actually, this work continues. This offer is ridiculous. Or he proposed a reader that he in itself has no value, some bills about 17 traditional values. Who can this be captivated?
Some bills about 17 traditional values-who can this be captivated?
Elena Rykovtseva: We will let you listen to two and a half minutes of the monologue Olga Zinovieva, in which so much swearing, accusations against employees of the Institute of Philosophy will be heard, which, in my opinion, has not yet included a dictionary.
Elena Rykovtseva: In my opinion, if I do not confuse anything, you are passing in the category of "werewolves in the academic mantle"-your surname sounded. You probably know the work and biography of Alexander Zinoviev well. Do you know about a certain episode from his biography of recent years, the first academic years, when he really accuses his colleagues of such sins for which they can immediately be planted? Because all that you have heard now is landing, is it not just a “fool”, but criminal articles?
If a person has some kind of idea, a program, then people can do it on enthusiasm, and it works
Julia Sinekoya: It’s hard for me to say, I parted with him in time and space, I never met. I know that a series of his drawings, his books, “Yellow House” is an image of the Institute of Philosophy, which he led in the 60s, so many of my colleagues were warned, offended, it really was evil cartoons. I do not think that in those years before returning to Russia, he was such a person who longed for blood and tried to plant someone or do something like that. As for his work after returning to Russia, if I am not mistaken, in 1999, then his former friends somehow shunned communication. There is a wonderful novel by Vladimir Kantor called “Guide” (once Vladimir Karlovich said that it would be necessary to call it “bastard”, but this is such a play of words): in fact, about the Zinoviev family, there from the 20th page this is read absolutely accurately. Everyone who wants to know something about his life is worth reading this novel.
Elena Rykovtseva: Dad of the writer, Karl Kantor was friends with Zinoviev. I did not even ask about his work, but about his public statements. He says: I can’t stand them, they are Westerners, to punish them so that they are imprisoned! He already lived under Putin, six years have passed under Putin, there were already serious times. That is, you cannot remember anything like that?
Julia Sineokoy: You know, no one paid attention to it. It was never interesting to me, I must admit, I did not hear that someone seriously discussed it, someone was afraid of something, someone was offended by something.
Elena Rykovtseva: I was surprised by this stream of accusations from his wife's lips: it seems to me that he was not characteristic of himself.
Julia Sineokoy: these are still different people. He was indeed a knowledgeable person, thinking, educated, creative, but this does not mean that it is transmitted to his wife: a completely different type of personality. Moreover, probably, when her husband was alive, life was interesting, interesting people came, and now she was left alone; The lack of communication with decent people, with interesting people, the lack of attention to themselves - of course, this is very difficult. Going down the mountain is always more difficult than to rise. I do not know why such a brutal insult.
Elena Rykovtseva: I do not think that she has little communication: there is a Zinovievsky club, there are people with whom she is interested. This resentment, which broke through in that number of accusations of a completely criminal nature in the present time, should be very powerful. For example, the second point there is "I do not forgive the struggle with Zinoviev." Have you noticed at least some signs of such a struggle with Alexander Zinoviev today?
"Circlers" because they did not want to work with him as a director
Julia Sineokoy: no one is fighting with him. There are people at the institute, a generation leaving today, among these people there are really offended people, but they never talk about it - this is just a private life. The centenary of Zinoviev at the Institute of Philosophy, as I recall, coped quite magnificent, the book of Hasan Huseynov, dedicated to Zinoviev, the collection of his stories and memories, was a large conference organized by Alexander Pavlov, the Logos magazine was dedicated to Zinoviev. Some kind of tribute to the memory was completely given.
Elena Rykovtseva: In this case, we will explain this insult to the first character that she talks about: his last name Chernyaev. I propose to see what kind of person these are and why so many words were spoken about him that Chernyaev said, what proposals he made at this collection of philosophers.
Elena Rykovtseva: Is the pathos adequate with whom Olga Zinovieva came up and demanded everyone to punish, to blame everyone, to put everyone on a lies detector for this person, because "you do not understand what frame you lost"? "Around the traitors" because they did not want to work with him as a director.
The Russian authorities are infinitely concentrated on sex and toilets
Andrei Kolesnikov: You see how he acts: this is a student report, a heap of words, accusations in the style of Patrushev and Naryshkin with a concentration on sexual. In general, this is a very painful thing, here it is necessary for psychoanalysts to work with our power and, obviously, with some representatives of the philosophical community: they are endlessly concentrated on sex and toilets. "Genderno neutral toilets" is from the recent performance of Beglov, from Putin's speech. What did they give these gender neutral toilets? Passing on a normal train, go to some restaurant: there is a toilet for women and men the same.
This madness extends to everything. Mr. Chernyaev climbs into politics, he wants to be a politician, so he turns to this topic and believes that other philosophers promote this topic. They do not promote it - they study it, this does not mean that they dominate in this very West. It is like a concentration of our power, which always declares something yesterday, on abortion, for example. We have no abortion problem, we have no more abortions than in Italy, France, Denmark and so on.
As for Chernyaev himself, in my opinion, this is a non -existent value in philosophy. They talked about what they needed to publish, to publish. Guys, firstly, everything has been published about everyone. If you read Berdyaev and believe that they can justify today's disasters, today's power, then this will not happen, because it is mainly anti -alteration, antitotalitarian philosophy, they protect a completely different philosophical narrative. Chernyaev really, as far as I remember, in 2021 tried to come to power at the Institute of Philosophy. The Russian philosophical community did not accept him, considering this absolutely mockery of the traditions of the Russian, and perhaps even Soviet philosophy. Because Soviet philosophers, including outstanding ones, still work, offended by these very people, by the way.

By the way, Chernyaev shook one of the numbers of Logos magazine with some kind of picture, also sexy. I do not want to say that this is a magazine for a very narrow audience, it does not go to the masses. There was another extrapolation - that the magazine was established by the Gaidar Institute , and Gaidar ruined the country and began shock therapy. This is such an absurdity, such a desire to join politics, become a politician, dictate how to behave to philosophers, that it can simply be too much for the current government.
Elena Rykovtseva: Do not you think that Chernyaev is too for the current government? He was kicked out now, in these war years.
This desire to join politics, become a politician, dictate how to behave philosophers
Julia Sineokoy: This is a typical case from the "12 chairs": "I got under the horse." The man was chosen, apparently, for the fact that it was quite easy for them to manage, a person did not have any special beliefs, he was picked up, they decided to put it on the indicated post, but he could not resist it. It turned out badly, it’s a shame. Indeed, everyone stood against the appointment that happened in December 2021. There was one person who abstained, a specialist in Stalin's time: he apparently felt what the matter was about, and everyone else voted against. The second time, the entire institute voted for appeal to Putin with a request to protect Chernyaev, return to the place of the director chosen by the secret vote of academician Smirnov; Then two people did not vote for this decision. Almost 250 people vote against - this is a rare case, no one has influenced here, he did not ask. This is really a person who is not suitable for any role, he did not write any important book, mainly all the articles in his co-authorship.
He was kicked out of the institute, because, for some time sitting in the chair of the deputy director, he practically not a single project entrusted to him. By the centenary of the Institute of Philosophy, they tried to create a museum of history, entrusted Chernyaev, but the museum would not have been created if Sergei Korsakov and Konstantin Burmistrov, who had pulled out this matter had not been connected. Попросили его издать книгу к столетию института – тоже не его идея, но хотя бы просто руководить коллективом, который работал: тоже все дело завалилось, и если бы не подключили Татьяну Щедрину, ничего бы не случилось. Ему как заведующему сектором истории русской философии поручали собрание сочинений Соловьева – так ни одного тома и не вышло.
Я в какой-то мере рада, что его пригрели в Зиновьевском клубе. Он назван новым Зиновьевым, что, по-моему, совсем дискредитирует старого Зиновьева, даже обидно за него. Кричат они, я думаю, оттого, что не получается: так близко цель, и невозможно. Главное, если они захватят эту цель, все будет совсем плохо, они же ничего не могут сделать. Это те люди, которые всегда будут кричать и ходить вокруг и около, у них нет сил на позитивную программу. Даже если они что-то заявляют, кто будет реально работать? There are no such people. Это же надо что-то знать, уметь работать.
Елена Рыковцева: Я хотела бы, чтобы вы услышали, что сегодня думают москвичи по поводу того, опасно ли критическое мышление или пусть остается.
