I myself wanted to write about it, feeling ashamed when the whole concert hall filled with our emigrants standing up applauded the choir of Turetsky, who performed: "And the fight continues again / And the heart is disturbing in the chest / And Lenin is so young / And the young October is ahead", or When a boy in the uniform of a Soviet soldier came to the stage at a big charity concert and sang the Russian national anthem, and many of the spectators-mostly our Russian speakers-got up and stood cheering for the anthem. I still do not understand why the hell these people came here and do not come back. I completely agree with the author below: thank you Alex! - but, unfortunately, no one from here will not be expelled.
There is such a country America. In it there live our numerous emigrants. The largest Russian-speaking community in the USA. Since the emigres of the royal time, about 7 million people. Around NY one million Russian speakers. And all this is wonderful.
However, the last time me, and many others, is just beginning to torture some phenomenon of the Russian emigrant. In the beginning, let's understand who emigration consists of.
It's no secret that a very large proportion of Russian-speakers in the US are of Jewish origin. Your humble servant including. We left because, one way or another, we were faced with manifestations of anti-Semitism. From ordinary tusks in the yard and in line for another deficit, to problems with education, going abroad, civil liberties. And I'm not going to say here now how many forces and lives the Jews invested in the USSR. They actually created it. But at some point everything went awry and the concept of a Jew in the USSR was and still remains for too many a concept some kind of curse. No, not for everyone - in any case, but for so many. Especially when it now turns out that there are a lot of Jews among the Russian opposition.
Recently, I observe a huge influx of Russian by nationality of emigrants from Russian peripheral towns, where in fact there is neither life nor perspective.
Also there are large ethnic communities from all other republics who all speak Russian together and quite amicably find a common language. From Uzbeks to Ukrainians. From Latvians to Georgians.
But the point is not even this.
This large Russian-speaking emigration came here on different visas and permits, often receives various assistance, benefits, gifts from the moment of entry, learns and is re-educated free of charge from children in school, to adulthood. For example, old people are given apartments - often at very discounted prices. Poor emigrants are given coupons for free meals - so many that some sell them for half the price. Emigrants are treated for free, and old people are treated free of charge, from the bounties of the American state, nannies. To the old man's doctor carries a free taxi. For the elderly, there are different places for entertainment, where they spend whole days. They are given almost free Russian television and radio. Are free in the casino and shopping. Dress, give special beds for patients and wheelchairs. Even special socks with rubber soles, so as not to slip, issue once in 3 months new. Even funerals are paid by the state - with the invitation of a rabbi or a priest.
My grandfather lived here for 18 years and all these years he was given two pensions, fed, watered, treated (2 oncology, a fracture of the neck of the hip, a stroke, serious problems with the eyes), and he survived to 97.5 years. He fussed with him, as with the English queen. At the age of 85, he was operated on a broken neck of the thigh, after which he walked for 12 more years and existed. After each operation, and there were a lot of them, he was rehabilitated for several months in different establishments, where his employees were not known as sweety (sweet). So how it was, how much he was given, how he was treated, I know personally and not by hearsay.
And all this for free!.
Young, of course, study for a long time, work, get on their feet, pay taxes and become members of this society. They are not given such gifts as I have listed. But they do not need. Young people want a ticket to life, not sitting on the allowance. And this voucher is given absolutely to all without discrimination. The society here very calmly accepts all emigrants. Let the accent, let's have a different mentality, let us carry our "cockroaches" with us, but we all were accepted. Try so to join the society in Europe - never! And here - heaven just in this respect. Yes, we are working hard and tediously to pay our lifestyle in a broad way, but we get very worthy. In a word, we have nothing to complain about in 99% of cases.
And having all this, receiving benefits and gifts, working on fine works, driving the most expensive cars, putting our old men around the neck of the American state, I ask the question - on what basis can we afford to support what Putin does in Russia and At the same time we scold America? ? ?.
I did not understand something, it's a fashion to be ungrateful? We in fact here no one should not have anything. We were received as refugees out of pity for our wretched state because of life in that Russia or the USSR, from which we dreamed of dumping. Yes, I understand, some people have nostalgia for friends, families, expensive places. This is normal. But what I do not understand is the hatred for America that treats us like that. Most of the time, both the USSR and Russia today are de facto military and political rivals of the United States. We are in the state of the Cold War for the second time.
No one calls to hate Russia entirely. In the end, whatsoever is, but this is the place where many of us were born. There are favorite tastes, types, melodies, movies. And all this is wonderful. However, this does not negate the fact that, in my deep conviction, if someone does not like life in the United States until completely disgusted, why do not you, my dear ones, collect your boulders and go to the return address? One must have so much impudence and stupidity to receive benefits here and at the same time grumble about any occasion and applaud the emergence of a de facto red-brown dictatorship in Russia.
What did you leave from, I want to ask you? I personally did not leave the lack of money or sausage (we all got caught up in this matter in our family), but because it was painfully disgusting to live in a country where you are a wretched worm that can be crushed and missed. And I understand that everyone left not because they suddenly went to the roof, but because there were specific serious reasons.
Emigration is a very complicated thing. Just so nobody breaks down. And here you are already here, left the Russian mess, political system, rudeness and lawlessness. And now, after you've already eaten enough to satisfy the zadarma of American grub, do you support the same lawlessness that you ran away from?.
It's just a shame to realize that our survivors from the mind or simply his never-having fellow citizens support exactly what they, the sick, left.
If it was so good to live in your own country, what the hell are you doing here? Nobody after all did not force and, the main thing, even now nobody holds. I still can understand the deep old people - they are old-age in dementia. But I do not understand people of my age.
And that's what I think about this. I think that if you are sitting on the welfare and at the same time hating the country - the allowance should be taken from you.
And for the support of the Russian regime hostile to America, it is necessary to deprive citizenship and send them back as gifts to Putin for free. Take your wheelchairs, sausage, American medications and go ahead - enjoy your beloved homeland with the "krymnas".
I believe that this quite obvious 5th column should be started very seriously, and specifically put the question: "for whom are you?".
Without hiding, I will say that if necessary, I will go to war and defend my family and my home - even with Russia. I hope you do not have to, but there's always a chance.
Not because I hate Russia, but because I hate her regime, and if he poses a threat to us here, I do not want to sit by the sydney and wait for him to devour us along with the giblets.
The rest also should ask themselves such a question, and if their answer is that they do not know - take the ticket to the plane safely. It's time to decide.
