As Ostap Bender said, answering Kisa Vorobyaninov's question, what should he sing: "Oh, in any case, not" God save the Tsar! ". I suggest you just present this picture. The next meeting of the Duma, everyone stands up for the performance of the anthem, and the melody of Prince Lvov and Zhukovsky's magic words about the Tsar of the Orthodox. Zyuganov will have to do it, too! And you know what - will perform like a hare! Faithful Leninists are now in the forefront of Orthodoxy and autocracy. It's not only clear how to be with the king.

We will ask the Lord in chorus to keep our king, but there is no king. It would be logical, after the return of the old anthem, along with the old calendar, as the LDPR proposes, to offer also to return the old form of government. Although there is a strong feeling that we have never changed the form of government. More precisely, forgive the pun, the form changed, but the essence remained the same. And all the last century we could sing, albeit awkwardly, "God, keep the General Secretary!" Or "God save the president!".

But since we have started singing about the tsar, we must then find the king. And why not conduct a survey among the population. And, not something like all these troubled sociological studies, when they find fifteen hundred people in 8 time zones and 140 million citizens, and a referendum. And do not just ask "do you want to have a king in Russia?", And specifically - "do you want Putin to be king and rule for life?" I do not doubt that the answer will be positive.

Of course, not 84%, but most of this idea will gain. And then we will remember what insight the LDPR demonstrated. It looks like they look like a big one, but in reality the Zhirinovs are the cleverest and most cunning party. And what looks like an anecdote today will be tomorrow's law. But I, of course, liked the government's response to the LDPR legislative initiative. The government does not like the idea of ??Zhirinovs because Russia is a republic, and we have a secular country and we can not ask God to keep something. But already in the third stanza of the current version of the anthem of Russia we hear that From the southern seas to the polar region Our forests and fields are spread out, You are the only one in the world! One you such - attention! - God's native land. Where is the secular state? And where is the next version of Mikhalkov about the republic? Or we can not ask God too much for us.

Since our land is God-preserved, will the king somehow without the divine safety and security be interrupted? Moreover, we have land, but there is no king yet?

I think that at the moment Russia more than ever meets the hymn of a hundred years ago. In Russia there is definitely no republic, and very soon there will be no secular state. In any case, those who saw the motorcade of the patriarch in Kirov about the secular state will only grin. So "reign for glory, for glory to us, reign in fear of enemies!".
