In Ukraine and Russia, a whole generation grew up on the TV series "Brigade", and these people are ordinary bandits without any moral warnings.

This in an interview with "Apostrophe" said a journalist and publicist Vitaly Portnikov.

"If we talked about morality, I'll tell you such an episode. I specifically watched the TV series "Brigade" to understand what was growing on the generation. Here our political generation grew on "Seventeen instants of spring". There is nothing good in this, because we are all infected with the hardware logic that was laid down there. In fact, Julian Semenov and Tatyana Lioznova filmed a film about the CPSU Central Committee, "he said..

Portnikov clarified that this is why he understands the logic of the president of Russia Vladimir Putin - he also saw it when he was a child.

"He (Putin - ed.. ) saw that these are strong, courageous, confident people. It is obvious to me that the generation that grew up on this film can only revive authoritarian methods of governing the state. These are people who all the time live in a world of deception and constantly combine so that the truth is not their value. They are scouts in their own country. And the regime that is built in Russia, very similar to this tape, "he said..

According to Portnikov, in the "Brigade" he drew attention to one episode, which he then retold to many rich and successful Russians and Ukrainians.

"So, the main character of the film sends a lawyer with documents to a competitor whose business he wants to" squeeze out ". And the competitor of this lawyer maims, makes an invalid for life. The lawyer's mother asks the main character how to treat people like that, they say, you just used it. To which he replies: "I do not understand what claims to me, I paid him". Money for a ruined life, like that, "he said..

The journalist added that when he told me, no one understood that it was incredibly terrible in such a situation: they say, a noble person paid money.

"It's on this model that these people grew up: none of them sees themselves in the position of a lawyer, but everyone wants to be as noble as the protagonist who used someone and gave money for treatment. These are the people who are now 30-35 years old. There must be time for them to leave this scene. Again, people who are now at 18-25, also see this "scheme of success," but life and laws are changing very rapidly.

Therefore, there is a hope that when they begin to engage in something real. "- said Portnikov.

He clarified that this is unlikely to go to the past.

"There's just less chance of living like this, and they will otherwise raise their children. And the world is getting bigger. We say that visa-free travel is propaganda, but people travel more, see that someone lives differently. So the citizens gradually have other values. However, this is a very long way, "concluded Portnikov.
