Patriotic Thoughts of Military Review Readers

The topic of the material that we offer is written by you. We have already expressed our position in due time. But what we read yesterday in the comments on the posting material "athletes from Russia"made us think and analyze the opinions of readers who are clearly divided.

Patriotic Thoughts of Military Review Readers




Recall that the article stated that Russian athletes might be placed outside the Olympic Village, in a former prison. To be honest, the article itself raises many questions. Starting from the source of information and ending with the horrors that are described there. But for us today it does not matter. The reaction of the readers is important. A cut of opinions, if you will.

Honestly, we didn’t discover anything new. We really have enough educated and thoughtful readers. Moreover, readers who do not always agree with the majority opinion and are ready to defend their own opinion are in the overwhelming majority.

Radicalism is more often present among young visitors. The older generation becomes radical in only one case. In the case of the saints for most things. Flag, anthem, honor of the country, attitude to the country.

So let's start quoting and commenting.

kinolog2322
Our athletes do not go to Pyongyang. There will be those who have nothing holy left. No homeland, no flag. What does it matter that they will eat, where to live. They have already been identified in the caste omitted. Do not you think that your place in Yong Chaenkan ?? Paraphrasing Mikola Pitersky ...


This is one of the comments of this type. Cruel? Maybe. Or maybe in the military right? Point of view is a soldier. Die, but save the banner. Honor save. And not so much their honor as the honor of those who served under this banner before. Who perished under this banner. Who committed feats under this banner.

The black
Not well, but ... the place of the traitor in prison ... if that happens, I also applaud ... who chose the path of humiliation, let him slurp crap to the end ...


To be honest, the position of commentators is in many ways akin to the position of the authors. Well, does not accept the heart of the white flag. Whoever tells us that this is a policy. Politics is always like this ... In general, if there was a place on the planet where the words “big politics” and “big tub of faeces” are not synonymous, we probably would have piled there.

But what to do with perennial values? Civil position? Patriotism? Although some patriotism today ... The people have already seen enough interviews of "great" athletes. Patriotism is for soldiers and officers. This is in Syria, in the Caucasus, in other places.

And for an athlete, the main thing is to win. In the eyes of advertisers cost more. The devil knows, but for some reason we do not understand the phrase "an athlete from Russia." Russian athlete - is understandable. And the Russian athlete is understandable. And in another way does not reach.

When the penguin from Antarctica is written on a plate in the zoo, that is understandable. Habitat. But a person in his right mind will not say “Persian from Iran” about another. He will say - Iranian, and he will be right.

And here it turns out that there is a country Russia, where citizens of Russia live, Russians, and there is a separate category of people. Athletes from Russia. A separate group of people, as it were. Although, however, it is now a separate fact.

Another group of readers, as it is fashionable to write today, is more tolerant. They fully admit the participation of "athletes from Russia", but are outraged by the conditions on which they are allowed to play. The position is shaky and, as it seems to us, spineless.

I am stunned! The cattle reception of our athletes on the OO-2018 by the IOC was supposed to be initially, but not to the same extent !!!
It must be assumed that for the Russian Olympic team to go outside the limits of the ex-prison, it would also be better not to leave without special need!
We must assume that against Russian athletes we should expect the upcoming provocations in the form of offensive pickets and demonstrations without their protection by the police.


Here we do not agree. Our Russian athletes will not be in Korea. There will be some "athletes from Russia", and what kind of nationality or group of organisms we have not yet found a clear understanding. It is necessary, probably, to study the documents from the IOC more closely.

But the essence is different.

Interestingly, by what rules can one count on a "human attitude" towards the vanquished? For some kind of law or law? You are defeated. You surrendered to the victor. There is an unconditional surrender, which Putin voiced at his press conference.

But ... Who said the winner will be gracious? What he does not remember the old grievances? Forgive the death of your own friends? Films about noble heroes seen enough?

What is being done with the vanquished or captured today is perfectly visible by the state of the captured Republicans in the Donbas when exchanging prisoners. Tell them about the mercy of the vanquished. About all these noble enemies.

But there are very balanced comments. It is felt that the author "in the subject":

Quote: Tatiana
"We must assume that against Russian athletes we should expect the upcoming provocations in the form of offensive pickets and demonstrations without their protection by the police."

But it is quite possible, no one will guard them, and this can lead not only to offensive provocations and pickets, but if there are al-Qaeda or igil militants there, or someone else who is eager to take hostages? Our sworn "partners" can in fact try to do so!


Fully agree. “Athletes from Russia” who went there privately without a delegation, although they are not considered Russian athletes, they remain Russian citizens. And we fully admit that such incidents can occur.

There is one positive point. In this case, representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia will deal with issues, they, unlike impotents from the Ministry of Sports, are able to work.

But there are among our readers and supporters of the "state" point of view. To go, to tear everyone and everything to shreds. And this someone to prove something.

Mountain shooter
To go and “tear” the opponent “to the brawl” is the worthy answer. And poor living conditions, and a separate food - all this in the same "money box" ... In spite of any pressure ...


siberalt
We will not go, they will say that we cannot act without doping.


It is not clear, whose athletes want to break everyone? Russian? So the team is not going. Or those as their ... athletes?

Russia wants to win something and break someone. Sorry, what? Or all the same - by whom? What sportsmen? With the second, third or fourth composition? The rest were removed because of doping. Despite the faces and tests.

It is somehow strange to read opinions that we have something there again. Must break, must prove. And what did we take to be? Can someone say? Why are the DPRK rumored to be asked to speak at the Olympics, while Russia is being thrown out? Do you have better sportsmen? Or maybe just "steel eggs"? Maybe the "hungry" North Koreans are really patriots, and not for a green coin, then come from?

Seraphimamur
Everyone is humiliated as much as he wants to be humiliated. Let's see how willing athletes who are not representing the country are willing to go down. I am ashamed that according to the passport they are citizens of the Russian Federation.


igorra
Maybe we, against the background of these athletes on Bablosa, something clicks, and we ourselves begin to truly love our homeland? And then many patriotism ends when it is necessary to cheat Russia to buy an iPhone.


But the question of the author of the last comment is quite reasonable. Maybe it's true, in order to truly love the Motherland, you need to see those who hate or despise this Motherland?

It is clear that the country today is “torn apart” in the same way as the readers of our publication. Everyone is trying to find a reasonable explanation for their position. Everyone tries to downplay the arguments of opponents and exaggerates their own.

Finishing an article is as easy as getting started. This is also written by you.

nikolaev
If the athletes of the leading sports power voluntarily and without exception refuse to participate in trampling on the honor and dignity of their country, this is a VICTORY!
In this case, the Olympiad loses its meaning, and the IOC and WADA lose.
If they go, then Russia loses, the Olympic movement loses - the villains from IOC and WADA and those behind them win!
That is, the trip - a complete and open betrayal, which will remain for life.


Even add nothing. What can you do. Everyone in this life comes a time when you need to make your main choice. You are a man, or a trembling creature. Patriot, or just not lucky enough to be born in this country.

Maybe a little incorrect comparison, but in our opinion, the situation is similar. If you look to the east, then there soon we will see a handful of outcasts, about which all who feel like it will wipe their feet. WADA servants, judges, press, fans of "clean" athletes.

Deservedly, if so. And then the claims as to them, surrendered to the winners for the sake of money, and to the state, which brought the sport to a syringe, pill and full privalov.

And there is no patriotism here, no representation of the interests of Russia. Clean business, nothing civil. What does the flag, anthem, coat of arms ... With a dollar for any citizenship you can live well. And even without him. And some kind of respect for some fans there ...

What are you talking about?

If you look to the west, then we can also see people without citizenship there. Without a state. Without a hymn. In fact, without a flag and a coat of arms, because no one recognizes them in the “civilized” world.

Nevertheless, Donbass tricolors are both a flag and a battle flag for people who continue to live, fight and work. Also regardless. They do not run away, they do not justify that “we have been preparing all our life” not for what we have to do.

Different approach, different understanding, is not it?

Some, in fact being residents do not understand what, either the unrecognized republics, or the occupied regions of Ukraine, respect and hold on to the flag that they themselves invented. And for this we respect them, in fact.

Others, sorry, wanted to spit on the flag and other attributes, because money is more important.

Is the athlete's age short? Tell it to the guys in Gorlovka, okay?

If the entire population of Donbass were as patriotic as the “athletes from Russia”, then two years ago there would have been silence, smoothness and emptiness **. There, no one was prepared for death, hiding behind such a motivation, which is akin to a white rag, everyone would have fled to Russia or returned to Ukraine.

That's the whole difference in opinions and understandings.

* ISIS is a banned organization in Russia.

** The authors apologize to the residents of Donbass for such an unsightly comparison.

    my opinion: go? Well, "forge, I can’t not forging © Blacksmith." I’m absolutely not interested in what’s with them, how with them, where they are, etc. even if they collect all the gold there, it will be their private affair, not concerning the country. only let them take their money: they will win - the fees will cover everything; lose - a fig athlete means.

          we are well aware that traveling to Pyeongchang, patriotism has been replaced by the ability to earn some good money. So they were brought up by the modern "sport show business." "our" hockey players in overseas clubs are clearly not playing for a patriotic purpose, people just sold themselves and that's it ... like girls from Leningrad, who will give more money, then they will fall ... that's the whole "sport".

            Dear, Grandfather. "... so they brought up the modern" sport show business "..." - I agree with you. I would like our athletes to read this: "... A new shell explosion and the screech of flying fragments made Semenov rush to rush under the cover of a broken bridge hanging over the deck. ... A ship flag knocked down from the mast was lying on the deck a few steps from it. The helmsman ran to the banner and, grabbing a piece of the halyard, waved it.
            - The flag is down! Flag! .. - he shouted. The Nazis, seeing a sinking ship without a flag, immediately ceased fire. “Look, you bastards, what you want!” - shaking his fists towards the enemy ships, Rybakov cursed and shouted loudly:
            - Raise the flag! Semenov, forgetting about the bleeding wound and the bruised leg, began to climb the main mast. When he reached the hafel, he caught the ends of the broken halyard curling in the wind and tied a flag to them. With slightly darkened, scorched edges, wounded by fragments, the flag again, like a brave bird, soared above the ship. Rybakov’s face shone. - Well done, Semenov! Hero! he shouted, throwing his head back to the mast. On enemy ships they noticed a flag and re-opened artillery fire. Shells exploded near a wounded ship. Red-hot pieces of metal with a grabbing whistle for their souls dug into the deck, thin-walled superstructures leaked. The ship seemed to be in the middle of a rumbling tornado. One of the fragments was again killed. Grasping his mast on the mast, Semenov pressed the end of the halyard to his chest with all his might and held the flag in this position. He could not fix it. Forces left the sailor. He barely held on. “No, you're lying, I won’t fall ... While I’m alive, I won’t drop the flag ...” the sailor’s bloodless lips whispered. The loss of blood made my head spin. Semenov flushed his forehead against the mast. So it seemed to be easier. And the sailor Volga remembered. Hometown Gorky. Caring mother's hands stuff hot cakes into the pocket of his trousers. How delicious these cakes baked by mom smell. How nice to feel the heat through the thin lining of the pocket ... Semenov was silent. He did not hear his name. Artillery cannonade buzzed in the sailor's head. And in this noise, he only distinguished the words of the commander: “Raise the flag!” Now one thought occupied his whole being: “If only not to fall ... Not to drop the flag." Harnessing his last strength, Semenov tightly pressed himself to the mast, feeling how tight the harness of the halyard crashes all the more painfully into the chest. “So the flag is holding,” the helmsman thought wearily. He felt it with his chest, with his heart. ... "
            Feat '' of the Fog '' Tikhomirov Veniamin Vasilievich. “Proudly flies the flag of the homeland native on the mast” 2014
            P.S. “The Combat Banner of a military unit is a particularly honorable sign that distinguishes features of a combat mission, history and merit of a military unit, as well as indicating its belonging to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
            The military banner of the military unit is a symbol of military honor, valor and glory, serves as a reminder to each soldier about the heroic traditions and sacred duty of protecting the Fatherland ....
            ... The Banner of War is always with its military unit, and on the battlefield - in the area of ​​military operations of the unit.
            The entire personnel of the military unit is obliged to selflessly and courageously defend the Battle Banner in battle and prevent its capture by the enemy.
            In the event of the loss of the Banner of War, the commander of the military unit and the military personnel directly guilty of such a disgrace shall be subject to trial, and the military unit to be disbanded ... "

            Well, the situation with overseas clubs is twofold, but the level of athletes there is higher than in our "local" clubs. Not patriotic? Yes, I agree, but this is a world practice, as well as in our football sports clubs, for example, there are foreigners. Another thing is the Olympiad, where countries initially compete, and to go to the competition of countries as a loner - this does not fit in my head. And I don’t like the President’s passivity in this matter, like let them decide if they want, then let them go, they don’t want not to go, there isn’t any unity, just another quarrel in society in a word.

Imagine a ship, if the captain of the ship tells the team to decide for yourself where you want to sail and what to do, then ... the ship most likely will not move places at all, and in the country, what centralization should always be, and in some issues in which there is no consensus, there should always be a person who has the last word.

                  We discussed this issue with professional sailors. They came to the conclusion that the master could throw a crew member overboard in a flight to save the ship. Compare a democratic, comfortable country with a ship? There was a case even on the ship: the barmaid broke her arm. And he talks about steep ramps, pitching ... I ask the master: "Why did Lyudka's arm break?" The master replies: "Resisted!" Not a well-organized and not democratic society there. Unlike our country. Under the tricolor.

              The president did exactly the same thing smartly. You can’t officially boycott the OI, otherwise Russia falls into their two seasons, and this is 8 years old. During this time, all promising athletes will easily be lured / outbought by other countries, and it is unrealistic to raise new champions in such a short time. and allowing those who wish to go there, he nevertheless made clear his attitude to this. At the end, he said that the victorious singles from the Russian Federation could easily be deprived after some time of the medals they won in Pyongyang. That is, he clearly hinted that You shouldn’t go. So everything is decent. They were observed, but he showed his attitude to those who wanted to go there.

        It's not about hockey ... because they spit in the face not only of our athletes, but also of all of us personally. And some are wiping themselves, saying that we must go and “tear everyone”, while others say that the athletes performing under the white flag are not Russian athletes and they did not have the notion of patriotism, conscience and pride in their country.
        As a former athlete, I believe that our athletes do not need to go there. People just Russian will not accept and do not understand. Going there under the white flag is akin to Judas. The price of this trip will be 30 silver coins. It doesn’t matter whether they take gold or not. Having become a white flag, these athletes publicly abandon their flag, anthem and coat of arms. What kind of homeland concept are we talking about then? Kharlamov, Firsov, Mayorovs, Starshinovs did they go and win for giants and money?
        My father used to be a hockey team striker in Arkhangelsk. Left hitter if sclerosis does not change. And I will never forget the day when our team won the World Championship for the first time in 16 years. Two goals of Kovalchuk! And someone will say that these guys fought for grants there? Then, my father felt 30 years younger. Now he is gone, but the very evening when our guys defeated Canadians in the finals I will never forget. They didn’t fight for grandees and money there, but for HIS MOTHERLAND, under their own flag, emblem and when they raised the flag of Russia at the presentation of awards, they sang our Russian anthem.

In the Union, diplomats were proud if, in difficult negotiations, they nevertheless made a decision in favor of the Union. And now they are sitting snot dissolving, Ah Poroshenko is bad, Ah Trump, bad. And they themselves did what they did to bend these bad ones, who fought with WADA, no one just apologized. And you know that in Britain a year ago there was a scandal over doping, what ours did to inflate this scandal. They sat and trembled so as not to offend partners.

        That's just the point - it is impossible to equal the "athlete" and the "position of the country" / "policy of the Ministry of Sports". Once the "main" spineless, then the athletes themselves are forced to resolve how the problem can. State hands washed and self-removed. But in the eyes of the townsfolk, the "athlete" is to blame.

      Cool like that. There are athletes who do not want to live in poverty. And there are citizens of Russia who only dream of living in poverty, paying taxes - direct, indirect, all sorts of different, requisitions to kindergartens, nurseries, schools, stocks on television and so on. There are pensioners who do not keep pace with inflation, and the only joy for grandfathers is to see how our athletes, who do not want to live in poverty, are trying to bring glory to their homeland. Or do not try.
      Oh well.
      There is one athlete who does not want to live in poverty, an excellent athlete. Achievements rampart. And how many other athletes who did not want to live in poverty, but who did not reach the first place, were not included in the Olympic team.
      How so, they also do not want to live in poverty. They, too, were crushed, but did not hit. They also have neither work nor profession. one ability to eat anabolics. And figs knows him, whether they ate less than necessary (or more), or they have a different metabolism - but they did not enlighten them.
      And why should we not be sorry for SUCH athletes?
      And why don't the Paralympic people regret it? Are they also all dopers without exception?
      Everyone chooses sports for himself. Knowing full well that he can achieve nothing in his whole life - or hit the jackpot. Knowing full well that in sports you can break off abruptly, even fatal. Well, in the sports of the VD - to ruin your health at all! And without guarantees of the first place or the Olympic medal!

        You have absolutely no idea what these people should actually do. The look of the average man, "like pigs and oranges." If it is so simple and prestigious - why don’t you dare to appear on the competition field and not wipe your opponents nose?

        I will say so ... "pumped" - this is to the "partners" with their transgender teams.
        Have you ever seen our athletes? Where is the "pumping"?

        And yes, gymnasts should train almost daily. With all their bars, jumps and other things - to roll the neck to death, "how to piss." I'm serious. The risk to life is no less than that of firefighters. And even more.
        At least the fireman, if he dies, then for the cause. On duty. And the gymnast - for no reason at all.

      Exactly. It also always amused me when patriotism and state prestige are equated with skill ... well, for example, men in leggings are beautiful to wave their hands while ice skating on ice. Or a crowd of men who know how to kick the ball into the goal of another crowd of men. In my opinion this is very strange. If the aliens arrived, they would be very surprised what significance we attach to these strange manipulations. And why exactly these classes? Let's make cross-stitching the same grand battle for the prestige of the Motherland ... Why not? Imagine - the International Committee of the Cross-Stitch has barred Baba Glasha from participating in the world championship! Putin expresses his displeasure at a press conference ...
      This is a game! Several countries of the world, such as us, the USA and China, are making a battle to the death from this. Well, shaving with foschistami. And the rest are stupidly having fun. I remember how an aunt came from some African country to some winter olympiad, who works as a cleaner or a teacher and performed on a snowboard. I saw snow for the second time in my life, at home I trained in the sand like. She was so glad that she did not fall during the rental! This is a real sport. Here I am for her.

          The IOC's sole source of funding is the private sector. Most of the funds come from television companies and sponsors. Thanks to these partners, the IOC can significantly help organize the Olympic Games, the annual activities of national Olympic committees and international sports delegations.
          As of the beginning of 2010, the IOC receives income from the sale of rights to broadcast the Olympic Games (53% of the total), from sponsors (34%), from ticket sales (11%) and from licensing (2%). IOC revenue in 2008 was $ 2,4 billion

    PS In general, Pierre De Coubertin was a lover of trophies and archaeological finds, envied the German Schliemann, who found the ancient Troy and wealth. Therefore, I decided to give birth to a commercial project of the Olympics, hiding behind pure symbols in order to actually engage in black archeology in Greece. But something went wrong. By the way, he pledged with Hitler in 1936 and admired. Here, together with Goebbels, they offered a torch run-relay race of the Olympic flame. Such is the story of the origin of modern Olympics. In 1980, we too could lose the Olympics due to the war in Afghanistan, but Lord Killanin turned out to be a decent and honest man. He even told the Soviet leadership that he was under unprecedented pressure.

    Equate sport to military patriotism? Mdya ... it seems the world is really going crazy.
    The issue is global; it stands above state interests, politics and sports. This is a philosophical category. What is more important - personal, or public? How to make the right choice? I do not envy athletes. It’s not worth it to reduce everything to dough and personal ambitions. Now they have any choice that is bad, and I don’t know how I would act in their place. Difficult. Do not go? Put your life under the tail of a cat? Go? Separate yourself from the homeland that is not expected? Both choices are bad.
    Personally, I have a different question - why do they have such a choice? There is a state. He needs the Olympic Games under the flag of the country. Where were you before, why did you bring the situation to such a state?
    This is ridiculous. Sporstmans must not ride under their own flag - this is not patriotic. But for officials and oligarchs to send children and families to live and study outside Russia is patriotic, right? To buy real estate there, to keep money? And at the same time bring the situation with sports to such a state. Laugh.

Can it be that if I don’t wave the tricolor, walk the street singing a hymn and go to work in work clothes that don’t have the colors of the flag of my country, I stop being Russian from this? Do I really have the right to be called only a citizen of Russia? I am in this place:
    Author: Alexander Staver, Roman Skomorokhov
    did not see the flag, did not hear the anthem, i.e. The text was written not by Russian authors of the Russian resource, but authors from Russia? Such logic, I understand everything correctly? And if we compare the athletes under the Olympic flag with the soldiers of the warring army ... This is not a completely correct comparison in my opinion, but since they compare, then I will compare. Take the partisan movement. Partisans in the Second World War often did not have a flag, military uniforms, did not have stripes confirming belonging to the belligerent army, acted exclusively on the territory occupied by the enemy ... The enemy did not consider them soldiers and prisoners of war, considered them as bandit formations ... In your opinion, these people too “it’s not clear who” and it’s not clear for what “? Once again, I don’t think it is correct to draw a direct analogy between athletes in peaceful conditions and soldiers who risk their lives in real hostilities, but I didn’t start first. I DO NOT protect ayu athletes, I'm just against those methods that are used by the authors in defending their point of view. I personally prefer option when all the athletes on a voluntary basis would have refused to participate in the Olympics. But the authors who have decided

      Everything was conceived just the opposite, as a competition of individuals. But in fact, just as the games appeared, they began to distort their essence, making sports a weapon of propaganda. With a logical connective - since our athletes are better, this means our development model is more advanced. Of course, only those powers that are sick with megalomania do this. But in fact it’s just a game!
      Actually we were injected into the Olympic sore spot precisely because it was painful. Anyone who did this clearly understood that we would perceive it precisely as an act of humiliation in a patriotic aspect. If we were indifferent, this would not have had such an effect and action. And what is most sad, the plan of the provocateurs works as intended - judging by the abundance of indignation, bustle and articles.

But the athletes were allowed to speak - only not under their own flag. Those. They want to let us know - the reason for these troubles is not ordinary people, not athletes, but your system of government, your officials, your state. Therefore, we will punish the state, and of course we will allow your poor athletes to play, because they are victims of your bloody regime. And the worst thing is that our state really allowed the possibility of such a provocation with its clumsy actions. Those. in fact, the adversary is right - it is our state that is to blame, it makes no sense to argue with this. They clearly want to push us to a "regime change." Our answer, as ordinary people, I think should be non-standard - we should not blaspheme our athletes, we should not rebuke them for the fact that they will go, nor for the fact that they will not go. We must support them in any decision. And in relations with the authorities, we must demand the resignation of officials who allowed this mess, but do not go further and transfer this negative to our country as a whole, because a radical change of power in our country is harmful, but the punishment of inept officials is useful.

In addition to unwillingness to live in poverty, there must be other arguments, and if there is only one left, such categories of people come to mind. You didn’t bring any other arguments - they don’t remain.

      Ok, I’ll answer.
      I was not the first to write about this, please note!
      About this, the authors of the post, the administration of the resource, were the first to start. These were their remarks about the fact that the athletes in our first and only turn are “nobody”, “with rotten nature” and “only think about money”.
      My thesis was that there is nothing wrong with the desire to live as a man.

      I sincerely hope that I was able to clarify my TZ

    Still, it’s very simple: if you want to go to the Olympics outside the Russian national team (that is exactly what they offer) - go. For their money. And then you no longer play for the Russian team. Never. So ride further everywhere under the white, rainbow or some other flag. And in your place come the real citizens of their country, who have honor and conscience.
    This is the position the state should have regarding the "national team and athletes."

    In the film "War in the West" in 4 series there is such a dialogue. It is about the release of generals from prison. Mehlis is against this.
    Mehlis:
    - They all hate you, Comrade Stalin!

    I’m not an athlete, I’m sorry for the power. But you have no right to humiliate those who between the rock and the hard place were simply because they were. And this desire to humiliate people only because they don’t want to live in poverty and live like normal people - I don’t even know what’s more here ... bile, envy or what? You are not going to lobby for the interests of the injured athletes, advocating for "life-long compensation to those who gave their lives for the sport, but were not allowed to speak"? Apparently not. Then do not be surprised that everything is fair - people want to live and eat. And it takes money. And they have the pride of "taking and doing something no matter what," and not standing at the subway with outstretched hands. [Quote]

    I am sure and publicly assert: Putin had announced a boycott of the Olympics, and 90% of athletes would go on their own under a neutral flag, another percent of 50 of them would change citizenship to a more convenient one for such “trips” within a year. There are no friends in the business, patriotism for most of them is an additional PR, for the rating of “flicker on the screen”.

    There is no public ideology in the country (read the national idea), there is no concept of the “Russian people” in the Constitution, there is no main value idea in the education - the education of the Patriot of the Country, there is and CAN NOT be what you all write about - CITIZEN OF RUSSIA. Those. a person who is ready for Part and Freedom of his Country to go to any hardships only because it is his homeland, mother, and the future of his children!
    We are discussing kolyuzurengoy, and who is he ?! not one of the same athletes who spit on us all. I always fly slogans from the enemy trench: they are children, they want to say a word, they are sportsmen who have one chance in life. A person standing at the gunpoint of an enemy gun or knife at the throat also has only one chance! A man, not even a patriot, but simply a man born on the earth of his ancestors, worried about the fate of children and the mother who gave birth to him, makes a choice that takes him to Eternity! Even without the fact that his choice (read - a feat) will then be known to everyone. Honor without conscience is unthinkable, Pride for the Country, without love for it, too! So let them go. The authors write correctly in the article: people of the older generation understand everything.
    What people of the older generation do not understand and do not accept is silencing problems in sports, (as elsewhere) the lack of punishment for the inaction of those who are obliged (up to courts and appearances at all international venues accessible to Russia) to defend the Honor of the Country and its athletes, representing! Just as the ostrich’s position of the entire leadership of the country is incomprehensible: let them decide! If they decide and go as athletes from Russia, then let them go at their own expense, just like athletes from Russia, who have one chance to speak at the Olympics, realize it. They will conquer something, let the sports federations in which they are members honor them.
    And to go without a Flag, without a form, without the Anthem of the Country for its (that is, our) account, for our money - is AMORAL in relation to at least half of the country's population!
    Like the authors, where I started, I’ll end there.
    Neither the State (represented by its structures), nor the country's leadership (represented by the first three persons), except for public pathetics at the rallies, do practically nothing for us (CITIZENS OF RUSSIA) to be respected in the world, because there is a State for 1% of caliphs and “stepmother” " for others!

    Almost half of the national team of “athletes from Russia” are military men from CSKA. Shoigu has a direct relationship with them - he pays them and assigns military ranks, usually officers, gives apartments and pensions. And these "comrade officers" how do they feel now? And Shoigu himself? The Commander-in-Chief as a “guarantor of freedoms” can still be understood, he is also responsible for the LARGE MONEY paid to all bureaucrats of the OKR and the Ministry of Sports, who failed, and he knows that in the case of our boycott, the country's direct financial losses will only increase - his diplomatic maneuvers can be understood , the main barking and vile howl is coming from everywhere. But Shoigu? He, within the framework of his DEFENSE MINISTRY'S COMPETENCE, could by one order slow down athlete servicemen or dismiss from the military service the snickering "military athletes from Russia" who wished for international "experiments" in a Korean prison under a white "Olympic" flag. If Putin allows this, I personally, as I have already written about, will not go to vote on the “election” of the President of the Russian Federation - in sign of MY protest.

    Read the biography of our hero - Mr. Zhukov.
    The President of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC), Alexander Zhukov, announced that he would be ready to once again stand for the election of the head of the organization at the report-and-election Olympic meeting, which will be held on May 29.

    The First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation of the sixth convocation, President of the Russian Olympic Committee Alexander Zhukov was born on June 1, 1956 in Moscow.

    In 1978 he graduated from the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov, majoring in economics and mathematics, in 1991 - International School of Business, Harvard University, USA. Specialist in the field of currency, tax and customs legislation.


    In 1978-1980 he worked at the All-Union Scientific Research Institute for System Research of the USSR Academy of Sciences (now the Institute for System Analysis of the Russian Academy of Sciences).

    From 1980 to 1991 - an employee of the main monetary and economic department of the USSR Ministry of Finance.

    In 1986-1989 he was a deputy of the Bauman District Council of People's Deputies.

    From 1991 to 1993, he was vice president of the foreign economic joint-stock company Avtotraktoroexport.

    In 1994-2004, he was a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation of the first, second, third and fourth convocations. Deputy Chairman, Chairman of the Budget and Tax Committee. In the State Duma of the fourth convocation - First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma.

    Well, and how with such "milestones in the life course", especially with Harvard, this fruit will be the homeland, its anthem, its flag, its coat of arms to protect.
    For me, so if you have a diploma from Harvard, Cambridge, Prieston and similar educational institutions, deport without words back, closer to the alma mater.

    Equate sport to military patriotism? Mdya ... it seems the world is really going crazy.
    The issue is global; it stands above state interests, politics and sports. This is a philosophical category. What is more important - personal, or public? How to make the right choice? I do not envy athletes. It’s not worth it to reduce everything to dough and personal ambitions. Now they have any choice that is bad, and I don’t know how I would act in their place. Difficult. Do not go? Put your life under the tail of a cat? Go? Separate yourself from the homeland that is not expected? Both choices are bad.
    Personally, I have a different question - why do they have such a choice? There is a state. He needs the Olympic Games under the flag of the country. Where were you before, why did you bring the situation to such a state?
    This is ridiculous. Sporstmans must not ride under their own flag - this is not patriotic. But for officials and oligarchs to send children and families to live and study outside Russia is patriotic, right? To buy real estate there, to keep money? And at the same time bring the situation with sports to such a state. Laugh.

They want to participate, to ban it wrong. But for your money. Pay for trainers, accommodation, doctors, meals themselves, not the state, or let them look for sponsors. But there is still a problem for them. Everything will be done to complicate their stay and performances as much as possible. They understand it or not. Yes, the country is in a humiliating position.

      If the state (as in our case) said, “And these are your problems,” almost everyone would have broken. Well, except for the outsiders, who obviously do not shine at the Games, they would start to draw megapatriots from themselves.

And what gentlemen did from sports, so that they would not humiliate pure athletes and the country. Why do we hear their indistinct excuses that we are being unjustly offended. They didn’t start offending yesterday. Where were their decisive actions. The courts had to be filed immediately as soon as the company began against us. The German filmed a vile film about state support by the state of doping. Why didn’t they sue him for libel in the same Germany? Why do not they apply personal sanctions against persons in the WAD who pour mud on our country.

    So this, they probably won’t shoot at their own? That's the whole truth - why beg the DPRK;)
    And so - who is there to regret if the Chinese had not come b? Athletes from Russia?

    I think if the GDP simply said that he was not opposed, but personally he considered it a betrayal, then by the evening all the channels would flatly refuse to show, and most athletes refused to go. And so - if you want - go, they will not punish anyone. Everyone’s personal choice. After all, you can’t be forced to be a patriot. It is either there or not.

    Of course we won’t; their THERE will be punished cleaner than what could be here. The smart ones would stay. It’s more than two months before the Olympics, and the enemies’ imagination (let's give the correct definitions) has not been exhausted. On the other hand, we could ask Kolya and Urengoy what it is like to live as an outcast in their own country, but athletes from Russia may well change their citizenship.

After Crete-yuga there will come an era of happiness and goodness of Sati - south. There will be a gap between Crete and Sati - a disaster that will destroy many countries According to the prophecies, Western Europe and the USA will suffer greatly. So who today proudly arches his neck and lifts his nose up quickly can respectfully fold his legs and wag his tail. It’s impossible to humiliate Russia just like that - it is pleasing to God. So let's forgive the IOC. As soon as you forgive the evil, it becomes a problem of the one who sent it to you. I myself was angry at first.

This is their personal choice. At the games, they defend themselves, and not the honor of their homeland. If they are cosmopolitan, then Nehai live like Diogenes in a dry barrel and eat raw octopus for breakfast.

    The cutting has been going on since the 90s. Millions of engineers and scientists went to the West to sell Russia's scientific and technological achievements for their pockets. Cultural and sports figures (freedom!) went to teach and train the world, selling our culture, putting the income in their pockets. Today, athletes who have been deprived of a collective name are ready to continue this process. How many of them, having taken wing in our national culture, rushed to “monetize” it into personal material over the hill? Thieves, parasites and spendthrifts need freedom more.

      Some (most) simply left to work, without any “secrets” - did this ever occur to you?

      Freedom is needed by people who are at least something of themselves. Others, of course, have no use for it.
      IMHO.

        Have peasants ever demanded freedom in principle? They try to live in accordance with the laws of nature. As a general biological value, freedom is needed not only by man, but also by the eagle and the swarming worm. Freedom is understood and applied in very different ways.

          ..ah....Alexander Ra...don’t worry about intelligent dogs.
          A nickname like Golovan Jack clearly characterizes a very unique personality.
          For example, I like some of the “four-legged intelligent” comments, but some don’t.
          I have no doubt about the opposite - I’m not a gift either.
          Although, I wouldn’t focus so much on the adherents of “Afternoon. XXI Century”.
          Somehow, IN MY VIEW, the bros... jointers... even in the Soviet era were not of this world.
          There was too much emphasis...on exclusivity.

    I share the opinion of the authors. A team of traitors will perform under the white flag.
    Then, upon returning, all these “athletes” will race and cry about how hard it was for them and beat themselves in the chest with their heels in outbursts of “true patriotism in their souls.” So in their hearts let the money go to them. Disgusting...

      Yeah. No matter what they say, those who don’t care what flag they compete under and those who will root for them will still go. For them, our opinion is fundamentally unimportant.

    In the Donbass, people are fighting the fascist putschists and their hirelings for their lives, for their home, their land, their loved ones, for their native Russian language, which they want to use always and everywhere, but which, if they refuse to fight for their freedom, will simply prohibited.
    Athletes fight for the right to show off their muscles and their skills, for the right to advertise this or that foreign (this is the key word) company that produces sports equipment, equipment or nutrition. Let's look at the results of the games at the 2010 Winter Olympics. 11th place in the team competition... And this is with the flag and anthem.
    Therefore, Donbass and the Olympics are incomparable concepts. Maybe thirty or forty years ago, during the times of the USSR, our athletes represented the Soviet people as people of the new world, athletic, ready for a fair fight with an arrogant, dangerous opponent from the capitalist world. And when they won, they proved precisely the superiority of the socialist system. I know that many believed this then. Youth!.. But then the Americans, Germans and Poles did not rule Ukraine, then the leadership of the CPSU had not yet betrayed millions of citizens of our country, overnight leaving them abroad to be torn to pieces by brutal nationalists from the former Soviet republics.
    Why this discussion? After all, in the meantime, the new Gapon-provocateur is pushing through the closed doors of the election commission, trying to destabilize the entire society, especially in large cities, and his comrades are beginning to slowly but surely undermine the power structures from within. What is their flag and what is their anthem? “Flag” of a new collapse of everything and everyone, “Ukrainization” of our entire life? This is what should really concern you.

    It’s possible to be patient and live in prison, but for what? In the name of the victory of the Motherland - definitely!
    But to endure being (maybe) given money for it, and then “hurray, hurray, the winners are not judged!” No, somehow this is not our way... It’s not right.

    Athletes as people can be understood. I trained and trained for the main achievement in life and here it is on you. But on the other hand, this has a sediment... In our battery, one Lithuanian sometimes said: “So what, what - but he’s well-fed.” Yes, in general we talked to him, but there was a slight aftertaste...
