There is a civil war

How universal hatred cancels the future of Russia

"A man is not fighting out of hatred that in front of him, but out of love for him" for him "

Captain IDSal Eitan Oster, who died in Lebanon

What is happening in Russia is terrifying. In a terrible dream, we could not think that we would live to such a nightmare. But what is happening in our environment, although incomparable, of course, with the situation at home and in war, is also very bad.

I do not mean scandals and investigations with the participation of media people - they compete with each other (it is not always clear why, but they compete), and therefore not the smartest of them use any real or imaginary sins of opponents to cause reputation damage to them. And if there is anything, so to plant. This is not surprising.

The problem is different. A huge number of political emigrants, those who were forced to escape from the country, who passed bureaucratic hell in exile, who is trying to build a new one on the wreckage of his former life, hate not so much those who plunged them in all this, as others, the same as they themselves. Often, by the way, those who went to anti -war rallies together with them collected money to refugees and so on.

The reason for hatred can be anything. Ilya Yashin said that hatred is not constructive, love is needed, and he, Kara-Murza and Pivovars-that people need to be distinguished from the regime and that people need to help. For this, a bunch of slopes were poured on them. And when, at a speech at the UN, Yashin attached a Russian tricolor to the lapel, everything became clear with him. The Putin’s agent, the Imperial, and the old woman with an ax, is also (and Kara-Murza-so far it is only a single statement, but the dashing of trouble was not in prison, but in a certain “journey” through the Gulag). Moreover, returning to Yashin,

No one is interested in how he explained the tricolor-and he explained, you may disagree with him, but why to animate something? And it doesn’t matter to you what he said to the UN and in other places - the enemy!

If it was only about Yashin - about so many. The accusations can be quite meaningless, such as the notorious “dick” of the foreign agent, and it is enough for the flow of anger: what is written above it (under it), it does not matter. It doesn't matter why a person puts it. Or the enemy is the one who does not like those you love: FBK, for example. The man did not do the FBK (Khodorkovsky, Katsu) nothing bad, he just does not like them - the enemy!

And to hate, people do not need facts. Recently I learned from one of my exposure that I, my son,, being a deputy of the State Duma from Esra, voted for the law of Dima Yakovlev. I, bewildered, even began to explain to him that I was never in the State Duma or in EP, and, of course, opposed the law of the scoundrels as I could. It doesn’t matter, anyway, a coward, Putin litter and so on. Lies without borders. It is clear that the fact that I was sitting, and now I have a period of time, does not matter.

I believe that not so much those who love the FBK or hates a tricolor or a dick so much. Here is another, much more sad. People like to hate. Hatred is functional, it raises self -esteem: you speak from above, you speak with someone who achieved what you never dreamed, who went through the fact that you cannot even imagine. Your inaction (and many hating - from among those who left Russia for a very long time and did not do anything at all) is equalized with the actions of those who risked their lives. The question of your passivity, of your dissatisfaction with your existence is removed. You are a worthy person simply because you are better and cleaner than them.

It would seem, okay. Should fools pay attention to? On the one hand, it is not worth it, but on the other, there are a lot of them, and they affect the general atmosphere. And behind them is a very definite ideology that puts hatred at the forefront. Hatred is not to enemies or traitors, but to each other.

“We will not forget, we will not forgive” - we will get everyone, we will punish everyone. No one will leave retaliation, write down the enemies so as not to forget. We will punish not only those who tortured and killed, but those who stole a lot, and those who are a little. Or those who themselves are not involved, but did not interfere with the things to do. And those who did not help those who fought. Or fought, but not so. It’s not even a question, but how you will do all this: the current situation in Russia does not give reason to assume that in the foreseeable future people like us will be able to punish people like them. And in who you will stay with. And in general, our goal is to make bad people or good people (not necessarily just like us) was good? About that

How to make the most badly bad, it is said in detail. About good for good ones - silence. But one of the other does not automatically follow. How many bad people became bad after October 1917!

As an epigraph to the text, the words of the captain of the defense army of Israel Eitan Oster, who died right now, on the second of October in Lebanon, were taken. In his last video, he said to his relatives: "A man is not out of hatred of what was in front of him, but out of love for what is behind him." And what about us ?

Of course, hatred, “noble rage” contributes to the victory over the enemy. Victory over him, defeat him, but not to live with him later. With Germany, they could calmly live only after many years, when not only the German state changed - this was quite quickly done with the help of allies - but the Germans themselves. But the Germans are foreigners, they live in another country, God with them

And we have a civil war. On both sides, compatriots, this war passes inside each city, and sometimes inside families. There is no front line in it. Suppose we will win. What next, how will we live together?

If you consider yours only those who stood next to you in pickets, sat in prisons or helped the Armed Forces, and the rest of the enemies, then you will have to establish the occupation regime, which as a result will be no better than what is now.

The civil war ends not with a military victory of one of the parties, but by national reconciliation (or oblivion, as in Spain, where the reconciliation that Franco tried to arrange did not work). And our civilian has not ended so far because several generations of the country's leaders continued to identify with the Reds, not feeling any white or rebellious peasants, nor victims of Bolshevik experiments. They were only with the winners.

Among our compatriots there are those who have committed crimes; The military in Ukraine, but no less terrible and we have: non -legal sentences, torture, and so on. Such, of course, should answer for the perfect. But the rest who have not committed crimes, who are not even direct beneficiaries (yes, the family received money for a contract or for death, yes, the employees of the military -industrial complex began to receive a higher salary, but this is not a direct complicity, as in the arias of property in Germany). If they are guilty, so in passivity, in that they allowed them to confuse their heads. They are not enemies.

So who or what is behind us , for whom we are fighting, whom do we want to protect? We can win and return - but one will not work without the other - only if we are not notorious birches, but people, most of our fellow citizens. If we think about them that differ from us, and not just about people like ourselves, if we want good to them. So, we must abandon arrogance, from talking with them from top to bottom, and from constant moralizing and explanations how they are all wrong, how they are to blame for everything, and in the future they only have repentance, that they should always look at the floor, and they have no right to normal life. This position is not only wrong, it also puts the cross at all on everything: when we say that, they do not hear us, they cannot hear.

The apostle Paul said: “If I say angelic or human languages, but I have no love ...” Solarmers need to sympathize, they need to be loved, they need to be identified with them. This is difficult, it is more and more difficult every day (and every day crimes commit more and more of them). But there is no other way. Well, if you are not capable of this, then forget Russia, become Germans, Ukrainians or Israelis, forget the language and do not return.
