Siloviki and Cossacks took the stage As an old-fashioned person, the author is not very fond of performances. Left behind life, like many of those who were born in the last millennium. Habits are established, tastes are formed. For example, a performance, even if it is a documentary, should take place on a stage separated by a curtain from the auditorium. The curtain opens, the performers talk, the audience listens and occasionally applauds.
