Probably the Olympic games and the truth will triumph, celebration and “Oh sport, you are peace!”. We have this: “And let the whole world tremble” (from farewell gymnast Yelena Isinbayeva more successful than her colleagues; “We want revenge for those who did not get to reach Berlin” (interview with Russian swimmer Morozov); “We came to the Olympics to fight to the last” (one of the slogans of the Olympic promotional video). In General, “Shestoi on Olympus proud,/To the sun seek the reward,/For the beauty of the sport,/for the sake of his Motherland! Folded and about us songs/heaven Is hot!”
To compose songs about the heroes of the channel “Russia” (the main broadcaster of the Olympic games in Rio) in Rio de Janeiro appointed Olga Skobeeva, and it explains a lot. Olga Skobeeva for a peaceful life it is not suitable. It has long been equated to the bayonet not only the pen (if she even knows how to use it), but all available means of modern television, including the piercing-cutting voice, which demoralizes the enemy and turns him into shameful flight. Recently she withdrew from the German journalist, who directed defamatory, of course, about the state system of doping in Russia, and when he fled in terror, while trying to call for help the police, Skobeeva continued to chase him in the street. It is strange that it has not yet slammed the accuser microphone on the head — he deserves. In short, Skobeeva always at the forefront of the ideological front. And that means that the Rio Olympics is primarily a advanced, where you fight “to the last” (what’s the latest? sigh, the fighter?) brave Russian athletes, defending in a dense ring of enemies the honor and dignity of their great country.
However, in Rio Kabaevoy the task will be more difficult than usual exposing the slanderers of Russia. She had to prove that our athletes, regardless of actual athletic performance, it is still ahead of the rest. Here’s a good interview with one of the Russian archers, who won our first Olympic team silver medal. “Our athletes were particularly zealous attitude, almost breaks down to cry interviewers. — What it feels to be the first brought to Russia it?” “We are proud to represent Russia, our great power” — fails Skobeevo Archer-patriot. “Congratulations! Here they are, our Champions!” — jubilant Skobeeva. “Russia, forward! — almost chanting the Archer. — We need to compete at the Olympics!” Skobeeva — ending a short interview with silver medalist: “It was our silver Olympic champion!”
The Olympic silver champion” is definitely a new word in sports practice, and in linguistics. Well, however it failed to consolidate. And the next silver medal, which was won by swimmer Yuliya Efimova, Skobeeva slightly changes the rhetoric, stating that “this is silver more expensive than gold”. And immediately enters on her usual path: Yuliya Efimova was swimming not just in the Olympic pool, she practically swam among sharks, one of which, the winner of Olympic gold Lilly king, not even congratulated our Julia: “On the pedestal do not behave, and why yesterday was talking about doping. When Julia almost frowns”. In this worst case scenario silver medal, won for Russia’s Yulia Efimova is, of course, more than silver.
The same gold leads Olga Skobeeva in a Patriotic ecstasy that she was, all crimson with excitement and delight, begins to scream in an inhuman voice: “the Triumph of the Russian judoists! The result of the fight — another gold. The first Olympic champion Hassan Halmurzaeva congratulated Vladimir Putin! Incredible passions! In Rio again anthem of Russia!” And then, in a short interview with the champion, too the first thing said: “Just five minutes ago, we are together once again heard the Russian national anthem!”
For such triumphant moments, she even learned to smile, although it is much harder than the sullen brows and threatening facial expressions when we are talking about enemies.
Sports commentators are also actively rooting for our own, sometimes openly and gleefully rejoicing in the failures of rivals. On the same channel “Russia” performance sports gymnasts commented two-time Olympic champion, coach and judge Lidia Ivanova. Here is the American gymnast fell off the beam. “So!” — with feeling of deep satisfaction, says Ivanov. “We look at it, but we don’t care, she warns viewers… So… big head, and feet in the wrong direction, and neck no. Before jumping incite, “Well, come on, is the same as the strong stumble. Again passed by her appearance: “Look, bear, no neck, and now begins to flail… Grin put a smile and be with him to finish… iron iron, of course… don’t jump, and a mournful book, no beauty”. After a mistake of the Chinese: “they helped us, Oh help, luxurious gift.
Yes, almost all of them, and the sportscasters, and the informants, “every battle as the last”, “gymnasts from Russia still snatch victory from the Chinese,” “each of the victories — the result of fierce opposition”, “we will fight the Americans,” in three minutes put the American on the floor.”
What’s the “o sport, you — the world!”. A real war with a proper aggressive rhetoric: “All the tear! And the enemy will never be achieved I leaned my head”.
Don’t know if tremble at the command of Isinbayeva the world, but personally, I am bumping into such reports and comments, fear and wonder, why turn a bright, colorful spectacle in the ideological lists, why all this Patriotic fervor designed to convince viewers that Russia is the strongest sports power, which, however, are literally everywhere put a spoke in the wheel, in order to humiliate, to throw, to deny the deserved world leadership. And so we a-go-go! So all records would have our calls to give names!
And here’s what I don’t understand. Of course, the Olympics is a very important event, and our victory is also important. But why on the day when he left the life of a truly great contemporary and compatriot Ernst Neizvestny, the majority of news bulletins on all channels did not start with this tragic event, and news from Rio? And the sad news was relegated to a secondary part of the issue closer to the culture news, went playing with the words: “Died Ernst Neizvestny is the most famous SOVIET (!) sculptor. Jumps, somersaults on the logs, throws, strikes and won the opponent of a second will be forgotten come new heroes with new records. And the legacy of Ernst Unknown will remain for centuries. That would be something to be proud of our TV, and our fellow citizens. But what am I? Ernst Neizvestny in the current system of values, almost a traitor, the Birthplace of his great hate America exchanged. But the athletes keep their homeland for the sake of” no regrets of his stomach and fighting for her honor like unto the beasts. So all right in the balance the information priorities. And Skobeeva to help them.
