Cross against "Mummy"

The Spas channel showed a film about the removal of Lenin’s body from the mausoleum and provoked a scandal. Who and why raised this sacred question again

The Spas TV channel, owned by the Moscow Patriarchate, tore the seal from the forbidden topic - the removal of the body of Lenin from the mausoleum, provoking the conflict not only with orthodox communists, but also with part of the Orthodox, nostalgies in the USSR. Why right now they decided to step on a sick corn and who needs a conflict between the two “scrapers” of modern Russian ideology?

According to the covenant of the old man

The pathos premiere of the new documentary “Mummy” , shot by the Orthodox television channel “Spas”, which belongs to the Moscow Patriarchate, was held at the end of June at the Moscow Cinema October. In a sense, the appearance of the film became a sensation. After all, the slogan "Loar the body and the case of Lenin!" -From the 90s, at the official level of the Russian Orthodox Church, she did not call for a long time to destroy the mausoleum, road with her friendship with the Communist Party and catching the mood of the authorities. Moreover, representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church condemned the Ukrainian model of decommunization, accompanied by the destruction of monuments to the founder of the USSR, and did not object to the return of his central streets of the “liberated” Armed Forces of the Russian Federation of Ukrainian cities. In general, the main message of the film “Mummy” appeals not only to the “liberal slogans of the 90s”, but also puts the authors in an ambiguous position on the “Ukrainian issue”.

Partly this subtext is recognized by the authors of the film, noting that in the early 90s, when Lenin was nearly buried, "there was so much information about the dark affairs of the main Bolshevik, about his obvious connections with the Satanists, with Masons." The historical concept of the “Savior”, led by the “blessed” Boris Korchevnikov, is very pretentious. It turns out that in the 90s, when actually the occupancy of temples was more than the present, the Russian people were still not chill around: "Many gladly recalled the Soviet past." Now the people are still chilly, and ready to hear the bitter “truth about Lenin”.

Being a “blessed” and practicing mystic, Boris Korchevnikov shared a secret at the premiere, which was also revealed to him by the Blessed Elder Eliy (nostrin) - the confessor of Patriarch Kirill, exiled from his residence to Optina Deserts. Known to his anti -communist position, Eli allegedly predicted that Russia would win in “Svo” only after a complete ban on abortion, the abandonment of all residents of the country from obscene vocabulary and the burial of the body of Lenin. If the first and third points are still somehow theoretically fulfilled, then, I am afraid, the second is equal to the call to change the national identity. At the same time, Eli is far from the first representative of the Russian Orthodox Church, who said that Russia is defeated precisely because of the mat in the lips of the "Christ-loving army." Fulfilling the old man’s covenant, “Savior” released the films “Momo Letter” and “Hula. True about the Russian mat. " Finally, it came to the third point.

Plot and conspiracyology

The All-Russian premiere of the Mumia took place on Sunday on Sunday Prime-Time on June 29, the next day it was placed on video hosting, which do not block the content of Savior (YouTube blocks). At the same time, not without relying on the admin resources, the film was launched in the cinema networks of different regions of Russia. The author of the film, 36-year-old Andrei Afanasyev, is presented in the credits as "international journalist and political scientist." This is one of the Savior Stars, a member of the Interdersonal Presence of the Russian Orthodox Church, a former employee of Russia Today and a graduate of MGIMO, author of the course “Ontology/Anthropology Media”, who reads at Alma Mater and the Institute named after Gubkin. Periodically, Afanasyev appeared at the events of the “Russian community”, which often falls into criminal chronicles due to specific methods of “combating migrants”. He did not invent the bicycle and limited himself to the creation of a video version of the series of articles “Mausoleum like a zikgurat”, written in 2020 by his senior “Savior” Andrei Razumovsky.

The main idea is heard in the name: Mausoleum is not just a magnificent tombstone, but the Satan Temple, built for the communist god Vila (aka Bel, or Baal), that is, Lenin.

The quality and geography of the filming issue a solid budget of the project, which is very rare for the Savior, which habitually complaining of lack of money and collecting donations. The credits are mentioned by the sponsor - the "Community of Orthodox Businessmen"; But the organization with this name is not registered in the Russian Federation. The film begins with the author’s walks along the Egyptian pyramids and excavations in Mesopotamia. Pyramids seemed to have nothing to do with the mausoleum, but it was necessary to go to Egypt in order to make sure: it was there that they first began to mummify the bodies of great people. Important discovery! This parallel on the main idea of ​​the film works weakly: it does not occur to anyone to bury Egyptian mummies and block one of the main sources of tourist income. After long discussions about the mummies, the author finally moves to the Babylonian zikurates - indeed, similar to the silhouette of the mausoleum. Among such zikurates, Afanasyev also refers the biblical Babylonian tower, the image of which in modern biblicalism is more often interpreted metaphorically as a parable.

The logic of the film is simple: the ancient Babylonians in the zikules served demons, who inspired the Bolsheviks to transfer this ministry to Moscow in order to defile Russian land and expel the true God from it. A little “relevant” context has been added here: Lenin and his environment worked to the West, were inspired by the ideas of Freemasonry, and the Belgian Viktor Orta, the head of the Belgian lodge was the secret architect of the Mausoleum. These speculations are not accompanied by any links to sources; It is well known that the current mausoleum (in exchange for wooden) in 1925 was designed by the architect Alexei Schusev. Attracting the image of Orta, the creators of the film with obvious enthusiasm are jumping on the conspiracy their theme of Freemasonry. The expert is the retired SVR General Leonid Reshetnikov, who (apparently, according to reconnaissance) found that Masons recruited Lenin. By this, the author of the film explains Lenin’s destruction of “traditional values” - in particular, the introduction of abortion. Among other “experts” are guests from the Patriotic camp of the 90s Yuri Vorobyovsky, Yuri Begunov, authors of anti-Semitic brochures, and Natalya Narochnitskaya. The creators of the film are interested in letting more magic and witchcraft, and refuse to notice any other motives for creating a mausoleum and embalming Lenin, in addition to occult. However, the documents testifying to the discussions in the Central Committee of the end of January 1924 show that the mummification was advanced from Freemasonry Stalin and Kalinin, but against - Bukharin and Trotsky.

Having pushed a large amount of historical, archaeological and conspiracyological material on the viewer, the author abstained from any system conclusions. Well, in fact, not to declare the Soviet Union, which is idolized by Putin and Gundyaev, the kingdom of Satan? Therefore, instead of the conclusions, in the conclusion of the film, a small story about the personality of Lenin is presented - and really, not only to talk about his body! It turns out that Lenin, Vila, had an immortal soul, which could not rest due to the fact that his body was not buried, and circles around him. The author is convinced that Lenin's own will was to lie next to her mother on Volkovsky (by the way, Old Believers) cemetery of St. Petersburg. But the grandchildren of Lenin, the closest of the now resilients of the leader, is categorically against reburial, which appears in the frame.

The civil war smells

But on the side of Lenin-its own selected guard in the patriotic (and even in the Orthodox-patriotic) camp. The official website of the Communist Party is published on July 2, an article by a professor of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy of the Russian Orthodox Church, the Protodiacon Vladimir Vasilika, who declares without abode (and not without elements of denunciation):

“The film“ Mummy ”is a spit in the face of the inhabitants of Donbass, who at one time survived and are still experiencing“ Leninopol ”, the overthrow of monuments to Lenin, who meet our troops with the flag of the USSR and often undergo suffering. And at times they risk life. For them, the Soviet past is a cement that connects with Russia. Not an abstract past of the Russian Empire, but Soviet history. ”

In general, the eternal holivar between the zealots of the “white” and “red” spirituality in the Russian Orthodox Church flares up with renewed vigor. Note that the last (“red”) in the Russian Orthodox Church is larger today, taking into account the origin of this organization from the Stalin Concordat and the symbolism of “Svo”, and the “White” are increasingly marginalized, as can be seen from the recent rather desperate statement of the Synod of the Russian Foreign Church as part of the Moscow Patriarchate. It can be seen how much the supporters of the ROC unification with the Russian foreign church were hurrying, assuring that it “puts an end” in the civil war. The film "Mummy" is a clear attempt to derive the "white" discourse from its marginal state.

The time of the appearance of the film is linked with the closure of the Mausoleum to restore and carry out the next complex work on the preservation (and in places - and restoration) of Lenin’s corpse, which can stretch for two years. A very tempting idea: to close the mausoleum and no longer open. Upon learning of the upcoming closure, the crowds of Russians rushed into the mausoleum, to which for the first time after the collapse of the USSR, lines were lined up from the historical museum itself. It must be admitted that the “Savior” went to a certain risk: the requirements of the rather influential people in Russia sounded to recognize the television channel of the Moscow Patriarchate “Inoagent”. The State Duma veteran, the deputy from the Communist Party of the Communist Party, Nina Ostanina spread the picture depicting the channel logo in the SS style. Red-Orthodox channels remind of the glorious Soviet past the Russian Orthodox Church: “The Patriarch Sergius did not interfere with the mausoleum. Patriarch Alexy I did not bother either. He did not interfere with Patriarch Pimen. Even Alexy II did not interfere. It does not seem that he somehow interfered with the current Patriarch ... And now the paid orava, led by some kind of ignoramus, came to give nor take the melons with their “we are power”, and the tantrum began: let's bury the “mummy”, take the mausoleum, and then we will heal! ” According to the authors of the channel, the “mummy” provokes future persecution on the Russian Orthodox Church and increased hatred of it at different layers of society.

A similar argument, although “from another camp”, is quoted by the disgraced deacon Andrei Kuraev, already “recognized by the foreigner”. “I am not a supporter of Lenin, and the issue of his corpse does not bother me,” Kuraev stipulates right away. But the modern admirers of Lenin, in his opinion, are "for a long time neutral, and all their achievements gave Putin's propaganda and its punitive organs." The deacon feels the threat from the militant wing of the Russian Orthodox Church, which demonstrates the “dimensionality of their appetites” in relation to objects that do not infringe on the right of the Russian Orthodox Church and do not limit it to anything. “If you want to understand which social group is most dangerous for others,” Kuraev sums up, “let different groups dream out loud about how they will equip the country if they give them full of power. And then compare their projects, drawing attention to the fact that they will graciously allow fellow citizens. ”

The official Moscow Patriarchate is still silent, private-in its telegram channel- spoke only in the men of the Patriarchate, the new head of its missionary department, a citizen of France and the Russian Federation Archbishop Savva (Tutunov). In his opinion, Lenin’s stay in the mausoleum “in the heart of Russia”, on Red Square, is a visible recognition that he is the central figure of Russian history. “Lenin hated the Russian people,” recalls Savva, and, in particular, therefore “created Ukraine”, which is now worse for Russian propaganda. At the same time, in the cult of the Leninist mummy, the archbishop sees the Christian desire to overcome death, and the sign of this overcoming is “imaginary-unexpected relics” as a hint that technology will once allow immortality without God.

The film, which in style more resembles a giant television portage, poses a problem, but does not offer its solution. Representatives of the Savior now have to additionally explain why the "mummy" was filmed for. Roman Golovanov, who also works on Solovyov Live, explains that in Russia there is a “religious worship of Lenin as the Black God ... And only through Christ you can love their country.” In general, priority is a love of the homeland and victory for “Svo”, but something interferes. What? But - it turns out, Lenin! According to political scientist Sergei Mikheev, today Ilyich would certainly call for the rejection of the “special operation” and would call the war “imperialist”. The more unrealizable the idea of ​​its reburial (as well as the idea of ​​Russians refusal from the mat), the easier it is to “spiritually” justify the delay of the war. The main goal of the customers of the Mummy is apparently to maintain this line of propaganda.
