The story with the breakdown of Konstantin Raikin's speech has become, perhaps, one of the most discussed topics of Facebook in recent times. All this discussion brings to mind the famous Russian proverb: simplicity is worse than stealing.

In fact, the dispute is not at all about what excites the disputants. They simply try to put their arguments in the Procrustean bed of this scandal. Maybe it's time to talk about real issues that arise in this case?.

Konstantin Raikin, of course, a great actor and a good organizer. I can not judge how good a director he is - I have not seen his productions. But to date, he is without a doubt a typical Russian and post-Soviet cultural official. If someone thinks that Ukrainian officials in this sphere are different - I think this illusion is simply from ignorance. Ukrainian officials differ from Russian only in terms of culture and professionalism. Not for the better, by the way.. Similarly, our officials lick their bosses, they also have their own enterprises, which, incidentally, turn out to be the main ones when carrying out budget orders and. Its opinion in this area, practically, everywhere, is absent. The tragedy of Ukraine is that we do not even have professional criteria: in Russia there are certain corporate criteria that keep culture within certain limits of minimum requirements. By the way, it is these corporate frameworks that preserve in the Russian culture some foci of free thinking and dissidence, allowing Russian cultural figures to "save face". So, for example, a number of public statements by Konstantin Raikin against the growth of censorship in the Russian theater, against the frank debility of officials, against the militant crowd of "quilts" who want to reshape Russian culture for themselves and. quite worthy.

In fact, within the cultural official, these speeches were, even, provocative, a sort of public "Fronde", although, of course, Konstantin Raikin is not a dissident, but a man of the System. But he adheres to the belief that art should preserve its own criteria for self-regulation. And, in general, he is right. Unfortunately, in our culture the same problems.

At the same time, as a person of the System, Konstantin Raikin is much more an official than a man of culture. This is very clear from the interview that activists spread on the Internet who consider the disruption of Konstantin Raikin's speeches correct. The worst thing in this interview is not that Constantine Raikin really squeezes the words "Our Crimea", but how much he himself is fake in the frame. Of course, in many respects, this is set by the presenter, with the clearly ultra-patriotic Russian channel. This man called Konstantin Raikin on air for only one, to force him to say "Our Crimea". All his other questions, which he tries to ask in a sympathetic tone, are so false and artificial that the answers of Konstantin Raikin.

Incidentally, I want to say, a very characteristic detail: it is the Russian cheers of patriots who become the main allies of our patriotic cheers in identifying "internal" enemies. There is nothing surprising here: neither those nor others are interested in the essence - only the external form.

When Sergei Sternenko begins to ask dissatisfied with them, Sergei Sternenko, the question: "Whose Crimea? ", He seems to think that God Himself called the mobile (A nation, the people, someone else personally) and gave the right to ask questions and make decisions. It's all so Soviet, so all of the scoop, that everything is straight outside.

It is curious that all these fighters for the Crimea, have never raised their voice to analyze the flights of power in the Crimea. Sternenko, who tears the throats of people for the Crimea, never tried to tear a throat against Turchinov. He did not try to figure out how, but how did it happen that Ukraine gave the Crimea to Russia without a single shot? And anyway, why is there still no analysis of the seizure of the Crimea from the position of Ukraine? Not at all.

The answer is very simple: on this political capital today you will not earn. The results of the events in the Crimea are not very simple, there is nothing unambiguous here. Except, of course, the special operations of Russia. But it was not carried out from scratch. That's what none of the cheering patriots want to remember. Categorically.

But feel like a boss who got the right to interrogate everyone: here is a typical Soviet feeling - it's our cheers-patriots - holy.

It is curious that Maidan has nothing to do with this. Maidan is the revolution of gidity - honor. Honor, dignity - it's all to these actions has not the slightest relation. It was on this basis that the Soviet dissident movement built its own logic and its morals. That is why the Ukrainian Maidans were supported by Russian oppositionists who stand on the positions of dissidence. Honor and dignity are the main principles of the philosophy of the Soviet dissident movement. By the way, including the Ukrainian.

For a scoop it's all nonsense! For example: "Chekist's honor?" ". This is only in absolutely invented films of the "stagnation" era. But the chekist catechism, a set of permitted truths, our own canon is our EVERYTHING!.

And all these interrogations are not from the area of ??honor and dignity. These are the Cheka, the GPU, the NKVD, the KGB, the Komsomol district committee and. I, when I listen to the question of Sternenko: "Whose Crimea", and I see my reception at the Komsomol on the Stroganov Bridge and questions that I was asked in the Zhovtnev District Committee. And I recall the sessions of the Student Club of the Omsk Polytechnical Institute, which is discussing the next program of our Disco of the Omsk Polytechnic Institute. "On the ideological depth ..." But Sergei Sternenko worries me a little, I would not write only because of him. Although it is very interesting that earlier Sergei dealt with various legal cases - the protection of human rights in the trial, and I was delighted with their work in this area, and now he completely went into the new PR. In court cases, one victory accounts for hundreds of losses. This is a highly corrupt sphere, we remain a deeply totalitarian country, judging by the statistics of criminal cases - we have a percentage of acquittals - like in China. But we have a huge number of cases that do not survive to court thanks, let's say, "the strange actions of law enforcement officers". There is nothing "strange" in fact in this: the corruption always goes under the handle with arbitrariness. So, as far as I know, Sergey Sternenko stopped doing these things - it's hard to get a PR here.

But the problem is not in it. It amazes me that those who support Sternenko's actions, as it were, do not notice this transformation of him. So, from a pragmatic point of view, it operates correctly. So the "patriotic environment" in fact does not care if the person or structure is engaged in a real business or PR? Would Lil have been a "drive"?.



But then a question arises to our "patriotic environment". And what is the criterion of rightness for her? Catechism of the Revolutionary? Can we begin to pray to Nechaev? Who does not know, this is the most famous terrorist, the prototype of the heroes of "Demons" of Dostoevsky, who killed his supporter, who expressed doubts about his, Nechaev, righteousness. And the motives, by the way, if desired, can always be found. So for us it is more important: honor, dignity or performance of the catechism?.
