The point of view of the respected Leonid Radzikhovsky on the spiritual and intellectual development of our society deeply impressed me, especially since I myself am periodically inclined to fall almost into despair, precisely when reflecting on the “bad infinity” described by the author.

In society The magic of numbers March 7, 2008 Alexander Podrabinek March 2, 2008 was a significant day for Russia. Of course, some skeptics and whiners, which are always in our Fatherland, did not notice either a joyful mood among the people or the holiday itself. Of course, a personal matter: consider this a holiday or not to count whether to celebrate it or not. But it is still stupid to pretend that most of the Russians reacted indifferently to this day and did not celebrate it in any way.

I understand, of course, that appetite comes with eating, but have a conscience! The authorities should be completely satisfied with the results of the elections, but they, without even properly celebrating, began to pick and choose. The governor of the Leningrad region, Serdyukov (some kind of familiar surname), proposes to compile lists of all those who did not come to the elections and find out for what reason absenteeism occurred.

Leonid Radzikhovsky’s text “The Murmuring Reed” is remarkable in all respects. And first of all, because with his characteristic brilliance, Leonid described the current worldview of a significant part of the domestic liberal intelligentsia. If you put it briefly, it looks something like this. The recent elections demonstrate that the current regime has much stronger ties with the Russian people than the liberal opposition.
