Против нового железного занавеса! (Про язык постсоветской пропаганды) author Igor Chubais , the author of the book “How do we understand our country,” doctor of philosophy

Authoritarian-totalitarian regime does not fit the reality because falsificare her image. Examples?

About a fascist coup. To start with, “the Ukrainian image in the Russian media? – Please. “Revolution of dignity” — so the world called the events that took place in Kiev at the turn of 2013-14. People’s victory secured the election of the President (they were controlled and confirmed their free and legitimate is the large number of official observers from the European Union)… the Russian media is the process of purification and liberation called “Nazi putsch”. About what “elections” in Russia it is possible not to remember…

About sovereignty, who lost it. -More about Ukraine? -Favorite erefovskih media – song “About the loss of Ukraine’s sovereignty”. Kremlin propagandists dream to isolate the neighbouring country, but can not do it. The government elected by the people and representing their interests, requests and receives wide support. European solidarity is what we call a “loss of sovereignty”…

Now build the connection between Russian issues and Russian sovereignty. Let’s start with a small digression. Among many of our problem — the total corruption – billions of dollars “violoncelli” in Panama, the billions stolen, the Ministry of defense (Vasilyeva), do not forget the money bags of Belyaminov and Customs Committee, about 9 billion of the Colonel Zakharchenko and the interior Ministry about the case nikandrova and the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, etc. etc. etc.

-I think law enforcement agencies disbanded, their total lustration? Then why continually re-created “the myth of the enemy”? At various times they were called on-to a miscellaneous – the counter-revolutionaries, anti-Soviet dissidents… the Terms were not viable and quickly die (often, together with their carriers), but “live forever” in an illegitimate system is the idea of “current enemy”. In recent years, finally “got”: the ills of the state is to blame “extremists”, “column 5”, “foreign agents”, and, of course, Bandera, Americans, etc.

I’m not going to prove that the “registered as a foreign agent” and “columns” do not exist, their presence nobody revealed (financing international funds – recognition of international practice, and is not a factor of espionage). Inventing enemies is a banal method of transfer problems “with a sick head on healthy”. Do not blame the corrupt officials and national traitors?! But if all the troubles of Russia respond to the external forces and their internal puppets and never answers his own power, then the state has no sovereignty and our means, and not the Ukrainian government needs to be changed!

The apotheosis of obscurantism — the term “foreign agent”. (Not about Ukraine). The work of the Levada center, as we know, suspended the opinion polls was banned. The government has once again demonstrated its essential characteristic is incompatible with intelligence and truth. Sent by Lenin’s “philosophical ship” continues to sail! But what is more important is absurd. Officials do not dispute the veracity of the results obtained by sociologists. Forbidden payment from abroad! I.e. a useful thing, it is an offence, if he was not paid the “Russian rubles”!? (And how then with the saving of the lend-ysis? What if some “tramp” for good or antibiogic considerations create the Foundation for the support of the Russian President, and if – now, already, still, yet? – friendly Turkey wanted to provide books any Center of Oriental studies at the Moscow state University?… Should I continue?)

From words to deeds. (About the sanctions and counter-sanctions.) But more questions. Western sanctions we confidently respond with counter-sanctions (August Kuban tractor destroyed 20 tons of Ukrainian strawberries, the result of thousands of toilers and workers). Is there not a monstrous error?

-What is the error? –Sanctions, say officials, “we are very profitable” for help to make an economic breakthrough, to raise agriculture (our fields are not searched the eye, but half of agricultural products purchased abroad). -What a miscalculation, You ask? –So after all, our sanctions are working to break the economy of the EU!? We work to save them?! Or no, we are not working, they “that angry”, so everything is fine there? Then why did they enter?

And again. If we closed off the hostile outside world (and another not), and we will not let anybody (paralimpiade – a recent example).

Remembering history… Thank God, Orthodoxy has come to us 1000 years ago from distant Byzantium, well, that Cyrillic at the same time brought the brothers Cyril and Methodius, it is remarkable that the Kremlin has helped to build by Italian architects. But it is bad that we all, terrible to say, our government took these values are now “foreign agents” more than that, 70 years, registered as a foreign agent was ruled by foreign, supposedly Marxist patterns…

Conclusions. We have banned the ISIS, but not how much it is prohibited Stalinism and sovetchina? We have built an “iron curtain”, the Berlin wall closed the border on the castle. The wall collapsed, the Union dissolved. Lost language, losing everything! Enough to cripple Russia, enough to amuse and annoy the neighbors! Back common sense!

And we will preserve you, Russian speech,
The great Russian word!
