Про российскую культуру и культы

The sound of bells carried across the great Rus. The clouds disturbed the jackdaws soar into the blue sky above the gilded domes that b is better remarked Lord Orthodox. From the neighbouring minaret came the drawling voice of the muezzin calling the faithful to the mosque for prayer. Dressed in saffron garments group dancing to the sounds of tambourines hare Krishna marches briskly past the shining glass and steel replacing the synagogue, where 7-40 rushing to strange people in old-fashioned black clothes. Pristine clean and not burdened with heavy thoughts of the soul swell from enjoying all this blagolepie, in humble affection contemplating as spiritual bonds grow stronger, our eyes the sublimity of thoughts enlightened by their efforts and unwavering in its monolithic unity of the Russian people. That’s just not me, a former employee of the enlightenment, defining it as the space between the cults.

In the 20-30-ies with Komsomol enthusiasm the churches were blown up or were turned into workers clubs, confiscate Church valuables, and the priests were sent to Solovki, if not in consumption, was nothing personal against the competitors, just business. In a rush to end the bloody legacy of tsarism, the Bolsheviks tried to create a new Communist religion with all the usual the ordinary people with the attributes of the old: by processions demonstrations under banners with portraits of leaders, the incorruptible relics of the Holy martyrs near the Kremlin wall, red monks commissioners, a star instead of a cross, politpropaganda at party meetings, steel vicar of the eternal living God, blessed with a short course of the gospel and old Testament historical and scientific dialectic materialism inseparable pair of bearded prophets.

After the bankruptcy of the socialist experiment appeared an ideological vacuum, but nature abhors a vacuum and in the early 90s he began vigorously to fill all sorts of exotic sects from the West and East harmless from Jehovah’s witnesses to the terrorists of the AUM-Shinrikyo. Of course, the new “democratic” government could not let go of such a powerful tool of the consciousness of the population and, quickly remembering, she provided traditional in our country religions an open license on an exclusive and non-excise trading opium of the people. And along with the other poison for the body and brain, which allowed the lords of the spiritual world to rapidly find countless values of the real world. Using the auspices of the competent authorities and God’s blessing, the new fathers of Zvezdniy flashed business talents to mutual material satisfaction.

Unfortunately, all these Ministers and followers of the cult, as a rule, have little to do with culture, and therefore are extremely intolerant to anything that is beyond the scope of approved over mossy canons. The case has gone to the pogroms at art exhibitions, the obstructions to the theatrical performances, the interference in the drafting of the school curriculum in literature and even burning of undesirable books. And it’s all in our supposedly separated from the Church of a secular state! Moreover, the Orthodox Christmas is celebrated on the state level they speak with participation of first persons of the country. Well at least until Easter and many other religious dates, although that may require Muslims with Eid al-Adha and Nowruz, with Pasham Jews and Hanukkah, or at least Catholics with Protestants, to live in harmony with the world. Would be worth then to be consistent, making day and Friday. No, I’m not against the latter in features, but everything has a limit!

Now, in addition to schools and prisons, the Church had been broken into and the army. Now every military unit has bred a regimental priests, but for some reason only one not officially the state religion. Then why not allow military personnel to the Muslims five times a day as not to interrupt the training and to spread the carpets for namaz or not to free the Jews from the outfits on Saturdays? Maybe our soldiers would greatly strengthen the country’s defense, if you go into battle with the names of hosts, Yahweh, Jehovah, Allah, Perun, Buddha and Krishna at the same time? Yes, a large part of the old European culture, literature and fine arts not be understood fully without knowledge of the old Testament and the gospel, but why not be taught in schools to the same extent Sumerian, Egyptian, Greek myths, the Torah, the Vedas, the Koran and Maharashta in the bargain?

Looking like everywhere for the state account are erected splendid temples of Faith, I’d like to believe that next to them are thriving centers of culture, theatres and museums, as sowers of the good, reasonable and eternal from libraries and children’s clubs have incomes comparable to those available to the Ministers many cults, parasitical on the ignorance, prejudices and other human frailties, To religion appeal primarily people easily suggestible, weak mind, spirit and body, women, pensioners and gangsters, pretty agresive in life received well in the dome and thought, under its end the salvation of the soul. They find comfort and forgiveness of sins for cash, but why drag in pockets of ignorance and obscurantism and innocent children, involving them from infancy in a strange, unpleasant and unnecessary ceremonies?

Now, however, in any the slightest degree the town you can easily find a newly finished Church, but not children’s art school, theater or exhibition hall. But the situation could easily be corrected if our state would have required a creative, proactive and independently thinking citizens, and not the herd blindly trusting and obedient to the will of their pastors of God’s servants did not hesitate to support any top-down nonsense, presented as the voice of the Almighty. One has only to redirect the flow of state subsidies with the stultification of the population in a reasonable way and started to revive Amateur theatres and music bands, the palaces of youth creativity, station of young technicians and naturalists with free mugs and sections, interest clubs for more Mature philatelists and numismatists, bibliophiles and historians.

The largest national museums of world renown, would open its store, many times exposed the Foundation and would share them with mobile exhibitions which would travel around the towns and villages, an introduction to the treasures of the fine arts this unspoiled hinterland. Each resident of the smallest town, never which further its regional center would be expected that they will bring at least a week sooner or later a genuine picture of past masters. And then for each such exhibition hall or a club lined up to queue, comparable to those that now can be seen only in the capitals, and even then not always. After all, there to the museums we go to mostly newcomers, and not spoiled by the abundance and variety of choice local residents, which has long been known exhibits permanent exhibitions.

Would be disbanded sitting on grants and the meager salaries of a huge troupe of the academic theater with the crowds left in circulation syrakov (honored worker of culture), which would give way on the scene young and fresh talents who now are leaving the profession because of lack of demand and poverty. Buildings, equipment and staff would be given over to the tour mobile entreprise, carrying the best examples of theatrical and musical genres into new places not seen anything better clones of “Tender may”. For such a spectacle even the most clogged wives would be torn off from the couches of their problems with alcohol under the TV as itself is pure spouses, and brought them into the light, forcing even an evening to remember, what is the suit, tie and shoes cleaned. They would provide the notices and fees are even now don’t have even the most famous and publicized teams.

On TV is COP-gangster TV series and soap operas, sad shit author unknown winners of festivals, zemedelska idiotic talk shows, Comedy and political tete-a-tetes with the same boring faces face, again began to show masterpieces of Russian and foreign cinema, documentary and animation, best plays and musicals of past years, favorite concerts of world stars of Opera and stage. Would stop the daily brainwashing pseudorelationship the five-minutes of hatred would disappear mystics and psychics In theaters… we’d be looking really exciting, smart and funny domestic films and foreign blockbusters, primitive commercial shit Amateur hohmachey and Patriotic ribbons with mythical characters and stories.

Nothing but disgust and resentment, sane citizens can’t call the company again deployed for the rehabilitation of the criminal tyrant Stalin and exalting his equally stained with the blood of loyal henchmen Beria and Zhukov, in favor of politicalhumor once again rewritten the history, distorted and rubbing in the textbooks uncovered by honest researchers the facts and evidence of their terrible atrocities. Openly encouraged militant nationalism and religious and cultural intolerance, fueled by hostility and aggression in relation to more recently the brotherly peoples is blatant propaganda of the Imperial velikoderjavnoy and revival of militarism, building a new iron curtain, limited civil rights and freedoms, available virtually banned demonstrations and destroyed the independent media.

But the Ministry of culture to perform a top-down order for the creation of the national idea, a new mythology, and divert trash from the pressing problems of our time. And for this purpose the best well-fed, topped with all sorts of awards, all understanding, is always curly at the power and everything like a young pioneers, ready creators of illusions, gladly poprawie all the allotted money along with the responsible officials. And therefore, we will again feed the endless praise to the Sunny leader, exposing the bloody crimes of his hapless predecessors and a bit about the weather. What wonder, if in our country a decades old taken to replace the present culture of the cults of the next rulers, the wisdom – flexibility of the spine and thinking, and take advantage of the ability to lick ass, pulling up to glands?

Heavy coming, twilight time, when everyone will be concerned only with their own survival, with suspicion and even fear of rejection of your friends, family and neighbors to bring the new Inquisition or even the guardsmen on the hidden disloyalty to the government. The clearance between the cults rapidly closes the muddy cloud of poison and false official propaganda and religious dope. To withstand their pressure can only be honest and uncompromising preserved all common sense and dignity of the figures of Russian culture, science and education of this intelligentsia, which has always been considered a true mistress of doom and souls of the Russian people. For this she must possess inner strength, intellect and belief in the rightness. And only then it can create a constructive alternative to what is happening alarming processes that can unite all healthy forces of society.
