How the Ministry of Education and Science instills a love of reading
In one of his campaign articles, namely, in the article “Russia: the national question,” Vladimir Putin stated that it would be good for our children to compile a list of literary works that would be worth reading while studying at school.
“Our nation has always been a reading nation. Let's conduct a survey of our cultural authorities and form a list of 100 books that every graduate of the Russian school should read. Not to memorize at school, but read it yourself. ”
It would seem that the proposal is quite sensible, but only in our country it often happens that the compilation of any recommended literature list turns into compulsory literature compilation. It is precisely such concerns that arose among those who are directly connected with the teaching activities of a humanitarian character in a modern school. Initially, the same teachers of literature thought that these words can be attributed to campaign activity, and therefore no lists will be created, because there is a standard in which a lot of things are written, and a normal teacher will be able to guess what extracurricular perusal to a student.
However, the Ministry of Education and Science could not stand aside and proceeded to conceive a list of what our children were recommended to read. It is not known how well the conception proceeded, but the birth was quite complex. Initially, let's say, a trial version of the list of books on the St. Petersburg State University website (the university, which received the right to make a list. Why is there only one St. Petersburg State University? It's already strange ...). The university launched a rather impressive campaign to discuss and vote for those literary works that were supposed to be in the final hundred. The list was almost already born, but the Ministry of Education, apparently not fully embraced by the submitted list and the methodology for its creation, decided to contribute, and, despite the ongoing voting, has already posted “its” version on its website.
This is not to say that this option is bad or good ... It’s just ... uh-uh ... amazing ... Well, firstly, it’s immediately obvious that the list is not formed according to the principles of sections that correspond to the recommendations of reading certain books in this or another class. It was composed not even in chronological order: XIX, XX, XXI centuries, for example. And it is made much simpler: in alphabetical order ...
Seeing this list, an ordinary average schoolchild who heard that the state prepared a list for him to read, thinks: probably, in the 1 class, you need to read everything on A and B (Aitmatov, for example), in the second one go to the writers on C and D, well, and then, to the class for 10-11, you can wipe out writers with last names on X, E, Yu and I (as an option from Minobra, Yanin with the work “I sent you birch bark”) ...
Secondly, the alphabetical list is clearly broken at the end. After that, Valentina Yanina, and he took the 87 position in the list, apparently, the Ministry realized that up to a hundred they did not reach ... However, instead of inserting the lines inside the already created table, they decided to fill the remaining cells. Maybe they just didn’t master all the functionality of the text editor in terms of editing the tables, maybe there was no time ... But if Yanin came out last, and it’s already impossible to insert lines inside the table, the following options appeared: either I could still remember 12 writers or fill in the table by some abstract works of unspecified authorship.
At first, we took the first path: Yaroshenko, Yastrebov, Lizheritsyn ... Everything would be fine, but this Lizard ... The Ministry of Education and Science began to walk people with pensive faces, fingering their lips, in vain attempts to remember what Lizard could write ... Even if he had written the work “Honduras on fire” would still be “recommended” - well, it’s not the table that was to be redone, in the end ... But it turned out that “Lizard” was a name that was lost to Russian literature for Russian literature ...
In the end, we went the second way and wrote 13 epics, chronicles and epics. At the same time, someone obviously well-read advised: let’s “Alpamysh” and “Ker-ogly” insert, let the children read - they don’t deny themselves anything ... And they put in ... Ugh-ff - exhaled. Presidential instruction fulfilled on the nose - 100 books exactly!
Full list: The list of “100 books” on the history, culture and literature of the peoples of the Russian Federation, recommended for students to read independently
Star Clashes at the Ministry of Defense
Ministry of Defense returns the red stars in the Air Force
But what are you going to do! - apparently, says Anatoly Serdyukov, - and here Kuzhugetovich's hands reached out! And why can't he sit still in my chair ...
The point is that Sergei Shoigu decided to return the red stars to the sides and wings of the Russian military aircraft. Recall that about 4 years ago, the State Duma vigorously adopted a bill that came from the main Russian military department. According to the letter of this bill, all the red stars on airplanes and helicopters of the Russian Air Force were to give way to stars in the colors of the national flag.
At that time, the Ministry of Defense and the State Duma stated that the red five-pointed stars on military aircraft were allegedly against the law on the National Flag. They say that we have a tricolor flag, so let the stars also be tricolor. As a result, they voted almost in unison ...
The stars stood out as motley, big ... Apparently, Anatoly Serdyukov dreamed of such stars on his shoulders, and those deputies who spoke in favor also dreamed of. However, many military pilots began to speak unflattering about the new symbols of the Russian aviationfinding some foreign motives in the stars. Obviously, this information quickly reached Sergei Shoigu, and the new Minister of Defense decided to cover up the "star shop". He took and canceled what both deputies and the person who had occupied the minister’s chair before him managed to distinguish themselves.
Now the symbol of Russian victories (red star) is back to military aircraft. At the same time, the Defense Ministry reports that the new-old red star will soon have to get a contour view and a slightly reduced size in order to more effectively mask the aircraft.
I wonder what those deputies who, at one time, with their two hands and feet, voted for the change of red stars to tricolor, think about this. And what do they think? .. Yes, apparently, they do not particularly bother about this. Paraphrasing the phrase that has become a winged phrase, one can say that the State Duma is not a place for thought ... They said: tricolor tricks will be tricoloured, they say: “red” - let them be red. Yes, even the green in the box, even though the sponsor's advertisement ... By the way, it is surprising that the past leadership of the ministry did not take the path of using military sides for advertising purposes. Well this is how much more money could have been attracted to the department! How many more multi-room apartments with VIP- "Mercedes" to buy! .. You raise your eyes to the sky, and there Mi-8 with advertising means from flatulence or Tu-160 with an appeal to buy something there with wings ...
By the way, on Friday it turned out that Anatoly Serdyukov still knows how to talk ... with the investigators. In particular, there is information that Anatoly Eduardovich looked "at a glass of tea" at the GVSU IC of the Russian Federation in order to clarify the situation of the so-called "green business" when the Zhitnoye VIP-recreation center was improved using budget money. Either the unequivocal hints at Serdyukov's silence, which may lead from the status of a witness to the status of a suspect, were so influenced by Anatoly Eduardovich, or he wanted to speak out ... What exactly the ex-minister said to the investigators was a terrible, most powerful secret, but there is a high probability criminal cases will begin to appear on Zhitnoy. Only everyone who hoped to see the ex-minister as the accused, it seems, will have to leave his ephemeral hopes this time. Not for that, apparently, they gave birth to the world, oh, not for that ...
This we did not pass
Knowledge of Russian can be sold
Since the law appeared in Russia, which obliges certain categories of foreign citizens who come to work in the Russian Federation, to pass an examination on the knowledge of the Russian language, about two months have passed. It would seem that during this time thousands of our friends from the sunny, vineyards, mountainous and wooded neighboring republics should have studied the works of Bunin and Pasternak in clearing snow and pavements from the snow, trained in writing dictations in the intervals between mixing concrete and practicing orthoepy in carrying slag -, foam and expanded clay blocks. However, it was either they were being pierced somewhere in Pasternak, or they got it wrong with “zhi-shi”, but it turned out a little differently than it seemed to the authorities.
Immediately in several cities of Russia, quite original situations were revealed, when representatives of local diasporas offered their “brothers” to pass an exam on their passport for a moderate fee. Like, do these Russians really distinguish us from each other? Like, we are all for them all to the same person: that the janitor Mukhtar, who in Russian only “Beer Nada” after reading Pushkin and Balmont learned to pronounce that Pakhlavon Dalerovich looking after the market with his surroundings, who already in Russian after repeated conversations with FMS officers ate the dog.
And if on one person, you can make money on the same! And they do: the same Mukhtar pays to the very Pakhlavon Dalerovich a couple of thousand "tanga", and the one in his market chooses a little man who could pass the passport exam for Mukhtar. He arrives at the training center, and answers all the questions posed, striking the commission with the ease of flowing Russian ... Naturally, the front Mukhtar receives a new ksiv, and the real Mukhtar goes to clean the same snow, but already having the state document in his bosom. And if earlier snow was removed by them somehow without much enthusiasm, then now, with a new paper in the bosom, the drifts from the roads and sidewalks disappear as if by a wave of a magic wand. Here it is, the true philological power!
Show me the tattoo
What will commanders look for on soldier's skin?
I did not have time to publish the Ministry of Defense training manual on work with personnel, as a serious discussion flared up around it. Initially, a number of media outlets issued publications in which it was reported that military commanders would henceforth be obliged to carefully examine conscripts in order to identify special “marks” on their bodies. To be more precise, then - to identify specific tattoos on the face and intimate places. Allegedly, such tattoos could prompt the officer that at this point in time he is dealing with a homosexual fighter ...
However, immediately after the appearance of such publications, the official representative of the Ministry of Defense had to speak, who said that the methodological instructions prescribe Russian officers to conduct examination of draftees not at all to detect any sexual anomalies, but as measures to control their physical health.
In such a situation it is extremely difficult to determine where the truth lies. After all, if one assumes that an officer, having discovered a frivolous “gluteal” tattoo from a draftee, will block his access to military service, then thousands who do not want to serve in this very army will quickly “scratch” such tattoos in a similar place. They say that I have a special test - I am not fit ... And if the commanding father is charged with monitoring the state of health of a draftee, then it is not clear why there are medical commissions at military enlistment offices, medical staff in military units ...
And in general, the situation with this inspection, for whatever purposes it was used, can look very piquant. Well, for example, Major Sidorov decided to examine Private Gadzhibekov in the area of the buttocks for the presence of a tattoo in the form of all kinds of roses, butterflies or teddy bears ... It has already begun to be examined, and then the Major’s wife enters the office without knocking performs the duties of a senior cook in the military unit, and therefore has the full right to enter without knocking ... And what would she order to think in this situation? .. After all, her day-to-day officer did not even have time to warn her that there Major Comrade only takes care of the personal Leaving as an example of a single soldier ... Yes, this Hajibeyov will inadvertently destroy his family!
"Lynx Lynx" and "Migrating Mistral"
Revision of contracts for the supply of military equipment from abroad
First they signed, then they counted, and then they were horrified. Approximately according to this scenario, all issues related to the decisions of the previous leadership of the Ministry of Defense regarding the purchase of foreign military equipment pass. Italian armored vehicles, Israeli Drones, French helicopter carriers ... Contracts have been signed, equipment is being assembled and is either being prepared for deliveries, or is already being delivered, when suddenly someone at the top says: why did we sign all this? Further echo: for what, for what, for what ... Who is to blame? Where is he? Find, catch, plant! But, as they say, who will plant him? ..
And then the command is distributed: stop, car!
The loud “stop!” Touched, as it turns out, not only Italian “Iveco”, but also French “Mistral”. From now on, it was decided to give the French the completion of two helicopter carriers for Russia, since it seems silly to kill these supplies — excuse me, the money ... But they decided hard with the other couple - to anything, they say, it’s us ...
This raises the question: well, why not before that! Why now - when multi-billion sums are already being mastered by foreign producers (this is still the best). Didn’t the right thoughts have arisen before us that these “Mystralist Lynxes” and “Bobcat Mistrals” and not for money, and not for nothing? .. Although for nothing ...
Has it not been said that we have our own productions, which can create more in quantity, better in quality?
Of course, similar ideas arose, of course, they were talked about, but only they all broke about the figure of the ex-defense minister, and also about our criticism of the methods of the reforms - no, no ... Like, don't teach scientists: everything goes according to to the plan, we will be catching herring with Mistral, and chasing bison at Iveco ...
In general, now decisions on the procurement of certain samples of foreign technology have frozen. In this case, only one comment suggests itself: better late than never ...
Part II. "We are ours, we will build a new world ..."
"I take out of wide leg ..."
Sarkozy following Depardieu asked in Russian?
Who just does not flee now from France. The full list would take all the small space reserved for the "Results of the Week", and therefore I will limit myself to some of the figures of the last days: Gerard Depardieu, Jean-Michel Jarre, Monica Bellucci, Vincent Cassel and, finally, Nicolas Sarkozy.
If Depardieu moves out of love for Russia (he received a Russian passport and, according to unverified information, he intends to join the Communist Party of the Russian Federation), the movie star Bellucci is going to settle in the country of his childhood dream - Brazil, where, as one character said, there are many wild monkeys in the forests, Nicolas Sarkozy does not intend to conceal the true purpose of migration: he is washed away from the draconian seventy-five percent tax on the rich, who entertain the enemy of the French constitution, Comrade Hollande.
The press writes that Sarkozy and his wife Bruni found a safe haven in London, in the South Kensington area. Earlier, the ex-president of France conducted negotiations with Singaporeans and Brazilians. It is rumored that his spouse, supermodel Carla, who was jealous of the superactress Monica, dissuaded him to go to Brazil, and Singapore, as it turned out through the family twisting of the globe, is something very small.
As for England, one of the approximate French ex-president, capitalist Alain Mink, said: “It is absurd to think that he would move to London ...”
Twisting the globe, the couple could not help noticing something very big on it. The two bent over the cardboard ball lower, Nicolas adjusted his glasses on his nose and read the name of it. large. Then the couple looked at the shelf on the wall, where they had a collection of disks with films of Gerard Depardieu. But Depardieu once voted for Sarkozy ... "CommodityIt PutIn", - said, dreamingly varying, Nicolas.
As for the snowdrifts and frosts, they have now spread throughout the world. Even in the USA, where it used to be in the winter minus five, now the alcohol in the thermometers fell to minus forty.
Features of national driving
Three legal cups for Irish driver
On Irish roads sober driving will soon become a rare phenomenon. Well, is there any ulcer, liverhead, kidney surgeon, or a man tightly coded with a laser? In any case, sober Irish on the roads, at least in the rural, will feel uncomfortable.
The Kerry County Council consulted and composed a petition in which have asked the Ministry of Justice allowed the villagers, who had thoroughly taken on their breasts in pubs, to drive and boldly drive home, regardless of the fact that after three mugs of ale people by the roads strongly resemble skittles.
Having filled and drained the glasses and refilled and drained them again, the Council members signed the petition and, slightly shaky and humming loudly, went to the post office and sent a message to the ministry. Then they returned to the meeting room, where they continued to pour and sit.
Do not think that local officials have not provided for restrictions. For those who do not know the measure, such has been directly established: no more than three dark mugs. This measure was determined empirically: it was experimentally proved that after the fourth circle the Irishman does not distinguish the car from the bench.
Council members also recommend that drunk villagers drive home at low speed. But what the Irish does not like to drive fast! Especially the Irish who visited the pub.
Five members of the county council voted for “mitigating” the rules for driving, three were against, and the majority abstained. It is explained simply: this majority itself could not stand the degree of the meeting.
A remarkable fact: all those who spoke for the innovation turned out to be the owners of the pubs. Of course, all five completely reject lobbying charges. Lobbyism is in America, where is the birthplace of the National Rifle Association and Adam Lanza. And then - what kind of lobbying, if we are talking about three circles ...
Atomic Kashmir
Hindus and Pakistanis gathered for a nuclear war
In Kashmir, an instruction issued by the Civil Defense Directorate, a police unit, is distributed. Residents of the region are encouraged to urgently prepare for a nuclear conflict. Pakistan is about to attack India. Therefore, Kashmiris are invited to build bunkers, stock up with water, medicines, food, candles and lanterns. Islamabad threatens Delhi with the use of nuclear weapons: it is only the "enemy" to penetrate its territory. Probably, pressing the button will follow the border of a single soldier. Or rumors of such a transition.
Indian officials seriously Recommend residents of the state of Jammu and Kashmir to prepare for a nuclear war: to strengthen the basements, to build "shelters in which the whole family can live for two weeks." If a nuclear strike hits you in open space, the instruction says, “immediately lie down and stay in this position ... Wait until the shock wave passes and the fragments of buildings stop falling. If the shock wave does not overtake you within five seconds, it means that you are far enough away from the epicenter of the explosion. ”
Here it is, means how. So, while the United States, the EU and the United Nations concentrated on Iran and the DPRK (by the way, Kim Jong-un there, in response to the sanctions, was going to conduct powerful nuclear tests and then settle long-standing accounts with the United States), warheads began to stir in Pakistan and India. What is the world gendarme?
And Obama did not think of anything better than to release ... Talibs from Pakistani prisons.
Hot winter 2013
Status change
The government of Pakistan has decided to release all the Afghan Taliban, who are now languishing behind bars. On this issue were specifically carried out talks with representatives of the United States and Afghanistan, after which Foreign Secretary Jalil Jilani went out to the journalists and said that everything, the issue was resolved.
There was a time when, in Pakistan and the United States, the Taliban were considered to be fierce enemies of all life on the planet. The implication was that these were unpleasant bearded people with AK-47 and medieval thinking, prone to terrorism, the oppression of women, the eradication of secular education, as well as murder, torture, bombings and convincing propaganda of the world Sharia.
But what was - is gone. And whoever remembers the old, that eye out. And if in the 2001 year, invading Afghanistan to destroy the Taliban, the Americans believed that these radical Islamists could not be a friendly part of the world community, recently members of the Taliban received official recognition from Barack Obama himself. If before the United States adhered to the well-known principle: “No negotiations with terrorists,” now the main man in Washington, not knowing how to declare that ISAF forces suffered a fiasco in the war, suddenly gave the Talibs the most genuine democratic meaning. Speaking with Afghan President Karzai a few days ago, Mr. Obama invited the Taliban ... to get involved in the political process.
Moreover, the stormy activity of the newly elected US President with regard to those who were previously considered terrorists has not ended.
After talking with Karzai and giving the green light to the eternal friendship with the Taliban, Obama approved the Pakistani forgiveness to the Taliban.
In addition to other fighters for Sharia, Mullah Baradar, the No. XXUMX man in the Taliban leadership, will also be released from the dungeon. More recently, Washington considered him one of the most dangerous world terrorists.
But much more loudly than Obama is talking about the release of hundreds of Taliban scattered across Pakistani prisons, Afghan President Hamid Karzai. He intended to put his Washington boss's plans into practice: to involve the radical part of the opposition in the peace process of building democracy.
This suggests that Karzai is going to increase his legitimacy and strengthen the weak power position. It is doubtful, however, that this puppet president would hold out after the departure of the American troops in 2014 at least as long as the rest after the departure of the Soviet contingent, Comrade Najibullah. However, in the elections of the fourteenth year, the Taliban will take power.
Experts are surprised at the turn of the Afghan policy of the White House at 180 degrees. But in my opinion, nothing surprising and unusual is not here. I see two explanations for what is happening.
Here is the first. Obama is a secret radical Islamist, a supporter of the world sharia and the future caliph. There was no killing of bin Laden: it is a “duck” for the broad working masses of America, born by Obama in collaboration with Chubais at a meeting of the Bilderberg club. Washington is moving away from its previous positions, which is clear even to the most observant comrade who visits Infowars.com once a week, hanging on a hook from the FBI. The decision of the American president to unleash the terrorists and officially recognize the Taliban looks quite logical in this context: the defeat of the ISAF in Afghanistan is a victory for the cunning Obama. Earlier, the owner of the Oval and Blue Cabinets thought and waited, and now the clearing economic crisis has prompted him a way out. The days are approaching when Obama recognizes Al-Qaeda, asks his dear friend Ayman al-Zawahiri to leave the asylum and openly embraces his faithful brother Muhammad Mursi, denouncing the campers from Tahrir Square as “infidels”, “crusaders” and “jackals” .
The second possible explanation is that there was no departure from the harsh and merciless anti-terrorist (or, more precisely, anti-Islamic) positions in Washington. The White House and the Pentagon have just adopted a new strategy and tactics. The Taliban, the Al-Qaida, the Muslim Brotherhood, and their various minions like the Qaeda al-Jihad gang, recently put together in Egypt, will bring a new massacre, next to which the horrors of Syria will soon be forgotten. They will cut, and in response they will cut them. Both are good for the United States, because the United States is at war with the entire Islamic world, and this war has never stopped. Only now the White House has a new approach: everyone is fighting except the United States. Muslims will henceforth kill Muslims, and Washington will wash their hands.
As for the dark figures from the past, which today is difficult even with a stretch attributed to the representatives of secular democracy, in the case of the first option, the advanced Western press should work on their image. The relevant principles of work were set out in 1948 year in the novel “1984” by comrade Eric Blair, published under the nickname Orwell and described in detail the “Ministry of Truth”.
Six months or a year of intense suggestion - and the American man in the street will remember: the Taliban fought for democracy in Afghanistan for many years, opposing the Soviet occupiers, the illegitimate government of Najibullah, or the terrorists from the local population, by virtue of their darkness, opposed the democratic reforms of the Taliban. And only the advent of the American liberators in 2001 and the long joint struggle of the CIA, ISAF and the Taliban made it possible to light a ray of democratic light in the dark kingdom of Afghanistan by 2013. In 2014, the Kremlin's protege dictator Karzai was defeated ... And so on. History writing is easy.
Well, and to comrade Osama, who is not accidentally confused in America with Obama, the press will be initiated by belated obituaries. Bin Laden will be posthumously glorified as one of the foremost fighters for democracy, murdered by order of freedom fighters from somewhere in Moscow or, say, Minsk - according to the Washington Post and the New York Times, respectively.
In America, the revolution is ripening. Tyrant from the Oval Office will be defeated
It is also planned to take money from the Fed.
Brave guys will lead the uprising ... No, you have not guessed. Not blue from the Pentagon, not bisexual from the CIA and not in favor of the Second Amendment Alex Jones, the owner of Infowars.com. In the front ranks of the fighters for the liberation of his native country from Tatar-Mongolian totalitarian lobbying the yoke, we see going to storm the White House ... "anonymous". More precisely, members of the hacker group "Anonymous". When all of them are put on the asphalt by the snipers of the Department of Homeland Security, shooting expansive bullets, they will remain in the annals of history as nameless heroes. Or maybe like anonymous terrorists. It all depends on who and what ink will write the story.
Anonymus Hackers stated about changing priorities: from now on, their new methods of dealing with the government will be on DDoS attacks or hacking into the accounts of the Ministry of Finance, but armed struggle. The purpose of the revolution - the overthrow or destruction of the US government:
What do not like fellow hackers in progressive American society? It seems that there is everything: from "McDonald's" to an inexpensive mortgage. And Jennifer Lopez is often shown in a drawer. And Kim Kardashian too. Complete freedom: you can be an anti-Semite or a Islamophobe, dislike the black president, buy pistols at the nearest stall, charge them and go kill someone — say, in a kindergarten or college. The Fed is printing money in America - as much as you need ... Stop. This is exactly what hackers do not approve of.
They think the time is right put an end to Federal Reserve. Money - under the control of the people!
Hackers refuse to pay taxes: they don’t like to “tolerate inhuman treatment and lose human appearance at the behest of the very people who are financed from our dollars paid in taxes ... We demand freedom from government, taxation, seizures of property ...”
Anonymus is not going to continue to live in the police state, which has become America. The man is the blacksmith of his happiness, and with the state that takes away his hammer, assuring that he will live with the anvil, he is not on the way.
Comrades hackers, proudly calling themselves a people, refuse to give up their health, bodies, minds and lives to the predatory hands of the government. Drones vultures will not circle over American cities!
Why did not Anonymus not take up the AR-15 and "Saiga" before? It turns out that the first act of the national liberation drama was an attempt at a peace agreement: by hacking and computer attacks, hackers warned the government about its bad behavior. Now peaceful attempts to influence the system have exhausted themselves.
Per aspera ad astra
NATO spaceship
Understanding that the threats of armed hackers are not groundless and that the people of Texas and Louisiana are about to join the Anonymus, who have been sharpening teeth for Obama for four years and have spent only one percent of GDP on rags and gun oil, other trembling US citizens have turned through e-government to the White House with a petition: let them, they say, quickly will be developed Universal starship, such that it was at the same time a spaceship, and a cargo port, and a transfer station. There is more food, water, aspirin - and, most importantly, do not infringe upon planting various minorities.
The development of the spaceship in such alarming times, the petitioners decided not to charge NASA, but an adjacent organization in the alphabetical list - NATO. The fact is that only this organization will be able to protect the civilian population that has gone into space from the space pirates of Merrychak U and Kryss who roamed in the Universe. Everyone knows how effectively Anders Fogh Rasmussen masters the martial art of accelerated democratization.
And when the Texans and Anonymus, having heated up during the next four years of Obama and Biden’s reign to sunny temperatures, start to burn out their native America, the masters from those who are smarter and quieter will take their places in NATO-made starship and go to Betelgeuse.
They say that General Allen was dropped charges of adultery, so the other day he could lead the NATO working team for the construction of interstellar craft.

How the Ministry of Education and Science instills a love of reading
In one of his campaign articles, namely, in the article “Russia: the national question,” Vladimir Putin stated that it would be good for our children to compile a list of literary works that would be worth reading while studying at school. “Our nation has always been a reading nation. Let's conduct a survey of our cultural authorities and form a list of 100 books that every graduate of the Russian school should read. Not to memorize at school, but read it yourself. ”
It would seem that the proposal is quite sensible, but only in our country it often happens that the compilation of any recommended literature list turns into compulsory literature compilation. It is precisely such concerns that arose among those who are directly connected with the teaching activities of a humanitarian character in a modern school. Initially, the same teachers of literature thought that these words can be attributed to campaign activity, and therefore no lists will be created, because there is a standard in which a lot of things are written, and a normal teacher will be able to guess what extracurricular perusal to a student.
However, the Ministry of Education and Science could not stand aside and proceeded to conceive a list of what our children were recommended to read. It is not known how well the conception proceeded, but the birth was quite complex. Initially, let's say, a trial version of the list of books on the St. Petersburg State University website (the university, which received the right to make a list. Why is there only one St. Petersburg State University? It's already strange ...). The university launched a rather impressive campaign to discuss and vote for those literary works that were supposed to be in the final hundred. The list was almost already born, but the Ministry of Education, apparently not fully embraced by the submitted list and the methodology for its creation, decided to contribute, and, despite the ongoing voting, has already posted “its” version on its website.
This is not to say that this option is bad or good ... It’s just ... uh-uh ... amazing ... Well, firstly, it’s immediately obvious that the list is not formed according to the principles of sections that correspond to the recommendations of reading certain books in this or another class. It was composed not even in chronological order: XIX, XX, XXI centuries, for example. And it is made much simpler: in alphabetical order ...
Seeing this list, an ordinary average schoolchild who heard that the state prepared a list for him to read, thinks: probably, in the 1 class, you need to read everything on A and B (Aitmatov, for example), in the second one go to the writers on C and D, well, and then, to the class for 10-11, you can wipe out writers with last names on X, E, Yu and I (as an option from Minobra, Yanin with the work “I sent you birch bark”) ...
Secondly, the alphabetical list is clearly broken at the end. After that, Valentina Yanina, and he took the 87 position in the list, apparently, the Ministry realized that up to a hundred they did not reach ... However, instead of inserting the lines inside the already created table, they decided to fill the remaining cells. Maybe they just didn’t master all the functionality of the text editor in terms of editing the tables, maybe there was no time ... But if Yanin came out last, and it’s already impossible to insert lines inside the table, the following options appeared: either I could still remember 12 writers or fill in the table by some abstract works of unspecified authorship.
At first, we took the first path: Yaroshenko, Yastrebov, Lizheritsyn ... Everything would be fine, but this Lizard ... The Ministry of Education and Science began to walk people with pensive faces, fingering their lips, in vain attempts to remember what Lizard could write ... Even if he had written the work “Honduras on fire” would still be “recommended” - well, it’s not the table that was to be redone, in the end ... But it turned out that “Lizard” was a name that was lost to Russian literature for Russian literature ...
In the end, we went the second way and wrote 13 epics, chronicles and epics. At the same time, someone obviously well-read advised: let’s “Alpamysh” and “Ker-ogly” insert, let the children read - they don’t deny themselves anything ... And they put in ... Ugh-ff - exhaled. Presidential instruction fulfilled on the nose - 100 books exactly!
Full list: The list of “100 books” on the history, culture and literature of the peoples of the Russian Federation, recommended for students to read independently
Star Clashes at the Ministry of Defense
Ministry of Defense returns the red stars in the Air Force
But what are you going to do! - apparently, says Anatoly Serdyukov, - and here Kuzhugetovich's hands reached out! And why can't he sit still in my chair ...The point is that Sergei Shoigu decided to return the red stars to the sides and wings of the Russian military aircraft. Recall that about 4 years ago, the State Duma vigorously adopted a bill that came from the main Russian military department. According to the letter of this bill, all the red stars on airplanes and helicopters of the Russian Air Force were to give way to stars in the colors of the national flag.
At that time, the Ministry of Defense and the State Duma stated that the red five-pointed stars on military aircraft were allegedly against the law on the National Flag. They say that we have a tricolor flag, so let the stars also be tricolor. As a result, they voted almost in unison ...
The stars stood out as motley, big ... Apparently, Anatoly Serdyukov dreamed of such stars on his shoulders, and those deputies who spoke in favor also dreamed of. However, many military pilots began to speak unflattering about the new symbols of the Russian aviationfinding some foreign motives in the stars. Obviously, this information quickly reached Sergei Shoigu, and the new Minister of Defense decided to cover up the "star shop". He took and canceled what both deputies and the person who had occupied the minister’s chair before him managed to distinguish themselves.
Now the symbol of Russian victories (red star) is back to military aircraft. At the same time, the Defense Ministry reports that the new-old red star will soon have to get a contour view and a slightly reduced size in order to more effectively mask the aircraft.
I wonder what those deputies who, at one time, with their two hands and feet, voted for the change of red stars to tricolor, think about this. And what do they think? .. Yes, apparently, they do not particularly bother about this. Paraphrasing the phrase that has become a winged phrase, one can say that the State Duma is not a place for thought ... They said: tricolor tricks will be tricoloured, they say: “red” - let them be red. Yes, even the green in the box, even though the sponsor's advertisement ... By the way, it is surprising that the past leadership of the ministry did not take the path of using military sides for advertising purposes. Well this is how much more money could have been attracted to the department! How many more multi-room apartments with VIP- "Mercedes" to buy! .. You raise your eyes to the sky, and there Mi-8 with advertising means from flatulence or Tu-160 with an appeal to buy something there with wings ...
By the way, on Friday it turned out that Anatoly Serdyukov still knows how to talk ... with the investigators. In particular, there is information that Anatoly Eduardovich looked "at a glass of tea" at the GVSU IC of the Russian Federation in order to clarify the situation of the so-called "green business" when the Zhitnoye VIP-recreation center was improved using budget money. Either the unequivocal hints at Serdyukov's silence, which may lead from the status of a witness to the status of a suspect, were so influenced by Anatoly Eduardovich, or he wanted to speak out ... What exactly the ex-minister said to the investigators was a terrible, most powerful secret, but there is a high probability criminal cases will begin to appear on Zhitnoy. Only everyone who hoped to see the ex-minister as the accused, it seems, will have to leave his ephemeral hopes this time. Not for that, apparently, they gave birth to the world, oh, not for that ...
This we did not pass
Knowledge of Russian can be sold
Since the law appeared in Russia, which obliges certain categories of foreign citizens who come to work in the Russian Federation, to pass an examination on the knowledge of the Russian language, about two months have passed. It would seem that during this time thousands of our friends from the sunny, vineyards, mountainous and wooded neighboring republics should have studied the works of Bunin and Pasternak in clearing snow and pavements from the snow, trained in writing dictations in the intervals between mixing concrete and practicing orthoepy in carrying slag -, foam and expanded clay blocks. However, it was either they were being pierced somewhere in Pasternak, or they got it wrong with “zhi-shi”, but it turned out a little differently than it seemed to the authorities.Immediately in several cities of Russia, quite original situations were revealed, when representatives of local diasporas offered their “brothers” to pass an exam on their passport for a moderate fee. Like, do these Russians really distinguish us from each other? Like, we are all for them all to the same person: that the janitor Mukhtar, who in Russian only “Beer Nada” after reading Pushkin and Balmont learned to pronounce that Pakhlavon Dalerovich looking after the market with his surroundings, who already in Russian after repeated conversations with FMS officers ate the dog.
And if on one person, you can make money on the same! And they do: the same Mukhtar pays to the very Pakhlavon Dalerovich a couple of thousand "tanga", and the one in his market chooses a little man who could pass the passport exam for Mukhtar. He arrives at the training center, and answers all the questions posed, striking the commission with the ease of flowing Russian ... Naturally, the front Mukhtar receives a new ksiv, and the real Mukhtar goes to clean the same snow, but already having the state document in his bosom. And if earlier snow was removed by them somehow without much enthusiasm, then now, with a new paper in the bosom, the drifts from the roads and sidewalks disappear as if by a wave of a magic wand. Here it is, the true philological power!
Show me the tattoo
What will commanders look for on soldier's skin?
I did not have time to publish the Ministry of Defense training manual on work with personnel, as a serious discussion flared up around it. Initially, a number of media outlets issued publications in which it was reported that military commanders would henceforth be obliged to carefully examine conscripts in order to identify special “marks” on their bodies. To be more precise, then - to identify specific tattoos on the face and intimate places. Allegedly, such tattoos could prompt the officer that at this point in time he is dealing with a homosexual fighter ...
However, immediately after the appearance of such publications, the official representative of the Ministry of Defense had to speak, who said that the methodological instructions prescribe Russian officers to conduct examination of draftees not at all to detect any sexual anomalies, but as measures to control their physical health.
In such a situation it is extremely difficult to determine where the truth lies. After all, if one assumes that an officer, having discovered a frivolous “gluteal” tattoo from a draftee, will block his access to military service, then thousands who do not want to serve in this very army will quickly “scratch” such tattoos in a similar place. They say that I have a special test - I am not fit ... And if the commanding father is charged with monitoring the state of health of a draftee, then it is not clear why there are medical commissions at military enlistment offices, medical staff in military units ...
And in general, the situation with this inspection, for whatever purposes it was used, can look very piquant. Well, for example, Major Sidorov decided to examine Private Gadzhibekov in the area of the buttocks for the presence of a tattoo in the form of all kinds of roses, butterflies or teddy bears ... It has already begun to be examined, and then the Major’s wife enters the office without knocking performs the duties of a senior cook in the military unit, and therefore has the full right to enter without knocking ... And what would she order to think in this situation? .. After all, her day-to-day officer did not even have time to warn her that there Major Comrade only takes care of the personal Leaving as an example of a single soldier ... Yes, this Hajibeyov will inadvertently destroy his family!
"Lynx Lynx" and "Migrating Mistral"
Revision of contracts for the supply of military equipment from abroad
First they signed, then they counted, and then they were horrified. Approximately according to this scenario, all issues related to the decisions of the previous leadership of the Ministry of Defense regarding the purchase of foreign military equipment pass. Italian armored vehicles, Israeli Drones, French helicopter carriers ... Contracts have been signed, equipment is being assembled and is either being prepared for deliveries, or is already being delivered, when suddenly someone at the top says: why did we sign all this? Further echo: for what, for what, for what ... Who is to blame? Where is he? Find, catch, plant! But, as they say, who will plant him? ..And then the command is distributed: stop, car!
The loud “stop!” Touched, as it turns out, not only Italian “Iveco”, but also French “Mistral”. From now on, it was decided to give the French the completion of two helicopter carriers for Russia, since it seems silly to kill these supplies — excuse me, the money ... But they decided hard with the other couple - to anything, they say, it’s us ...
This raises the question: well, why not before that! Why now - when multi-billion sums are already being mastered by foreign producers (this is still the best). Didn’t the right thoughts have arisen before us that these “Mystralist Lynxes” and “Bobcat Mistrals” and not for money, and not for nothing? .. Although for nothing ...
Has it not been said that we have our own productions, which can create more in quantity, better in quality?
Of course, similar ideas arose, of course, they were talked about, but only they all broke about the figure of the ex-defense minister, and also about our criticism of the methods of the reforms - no, no ... Like, don't teach scientists: everything goes according to to the plan, we will be catching herring with Mistral, and chasing bison at Iveco ...
In general, now decisions on the procurement of certain samples of foreign technology have frozen. In this case, only one comment suggests itself: better late than never ...
Part II. "We are ours, we will build a new world ..."
"I take out of wide leg ..."
Sarkozy following Depardieu asked in Russian?
Who just does not flee now from France. The full list would take all the small space reserved for the "Results of the Week", and therefore I will limit myself to some of the figures of the last days: Gerard Depardieu, Jean-Michel Jarre, Monica Bellucci, Vincent Cassel and, finally, Nicolas Sarkozy.If Depardieu moves out of love for Russia (he received a Russian passport and, according to unverified information, he intends to join the Communist Party of the Russian Federation), the movie star Bellucci is going to settle in the country of his childhood dream - Brazil, where, as one character said, there are many wild monkeys in the forests, Nicolas Sarkozy does not intend to conceal the true purpose of migration: he is washed away from the draconian seventy-five percent tax on the rich, who entertain the enemy of the French constitution, Comrade Hollande.
The press writes that Sarkozy and his wife Bruni found a safe haven in London, in the South Kensington area. Earlier, the ex-president of France conducted negotiations with Singaporeans and Brazilians. It is rumored that his spouse, supermodel Carla, who was jealous of the superactress Monica, dissuaded him to go to Brazil, and Singapore, as it turned out through the family twisting of the globe, is something very small.
As for England, one of the approximate French ex-president, capitalist Alain Mink, said: “It is absurd to think that he would move to London ...”
Twisting the globe, the couple could not help noticing something very big on it. The two bent over the cardboard ball lower, Nicolas adjusted his glasses on his nose and read the name of it. large. Then the couple looked at the shelf on the wall, where they had a collection of disks with films of Gerard Depardieu. But Depardieu once voted for Sarkozy ... "CommodityIt PutIn", - said, dreamingly varying, Nicolas.
As for the snowdrifts and frosts, they have now spread throughout the world. Even in the USA, where it used to be in the winter minus five, now the alcohol in the thermometers fell to minus forty.
Features of national driving
Three legal cups for Irish driver
On Irish roads sober driving will soon become a rare phenomenon. Well, is there any ulcer, liverhead, kidney surgeon, or a man tightly coded with a laser? In any case, sober Irish on the roads, at least in the rural, will feel uncomfortable.The Kerry County Council consulted and composed a petition in which have asked the Ministry of Justice allowed the villagers, who had thoroughly taken on their breasts in pubs, to drive and boldly drive home, regardless of the fact that after three mugs of ale people by the roads strongly resemble skittles.
Having filled and drained the glasses and refilled and drained them again, the Council members signed the petition and, slightly shaky and humming loudly, went to the post office and sent a message to the ministry. Then they returned to the meeting room, where they continued to pour and sit.
Do not think that local officials have not provided for restrictions. For those who do not know the measure, such has been directly established: no more than three dark mugs. This measure was determined empirically: it was experimentally proved that after the fourth circle the Irishman does not distinguish the car from the bench.
Council members also recommend that drunk villagers drive home at low speed. But what the Irish does not like to drive fast! Especially the Irish who visited the pub.
Five members of the county council voted for “mitigating” the rules for driving, three were against, and the majority abstained. It is explained simply: this majority itself could not stand the degree of the meeting.
A remarkable fact: all those who spoke for the innovation turned out to be the owners of the pubs. Of course, all five completely reject lobbying charges. Lobbyism is in America, where is the birthplace of the National Rifle Association and Adam Lanza. And then - what kind of lobbying, if we are talking about three circles ...
Atomic Kashmir
Hindus and Pakistanis gathered for a nuclear war
In Kashmir, an instruction issued by the Civil Defense Directorate, a police unit, is distributed. Residents of the region are encouraged to urgently prepare for a nuclear conflict. Pakistan is about to attack India. Therefore, Kashmiris are invited to build bunkers, stock up with water, medicines, food, candles and lanterns. Islamabad threatens Delhi with the use of nuclear weapons: it is only the "enemy" to penetrate its territory. Probably, pressing the button will follow the border of a single soldier. Or rumors of such a transition.Indian officials seriously Recommend residents of the state of Jammu and Kashmir to prepare for a nuclear war: to strengthen the basements, to build "shelters in which the whole family can live for two weeks." If a nuclear strike hits you in open space, the instruction says, “immediately lie down and stay in this position ... Wait until the shock wave passes and the fragments of buildings stop falling. If the shock wave does not overtake you within five seconds, it means that you are far enough away from the epicenter of the explosion. ”
Here it is, means how. So, while the United States, the EU and the United Nations concentrated on Iran and the DPRK (by the way, Kim Jong-un there, in response to the sanctions, was going to conduct powerful nuclear tests and then settle long-standing accounts with the United States), warheads began to stir in Pakistan and India. What is the world gendarme?
And Obama did not think of anything better than to release ... Talibs from Pakistani prisons.
Hot winter 2013
Status change
The government of Pakistan has decided to release all the Afghan Taliban, who are now languishing behind bars. On this issue were specifically carried out talks with representatives of the United States and Afghanistan, after which Foreign Secretary Jalil Jilani went out to the journalists and said that everything, the issue was resolved.
There was a time when, in Pakistan and the United States, the Taliban were considered to be fierce enemies of all life on the planet. The implication was that these were unpleasant bearded people with AK-47 and medieval thinking, prone to terrorism, the oppression of women, the eradication of secular education, as well as murder, torture, bombings and convincing propaganda of the world Sharia.
But what was - is gone. And whoever remembers the old, that eye out. And if in the 2001 year, invading Afghanistan to destroy the Taliban, the Americans believed that these radical Islamists could not be a friendly part of the world community, recently members of the Taliban received official recognition from Barack Obama himself. If before the United States adhered to the well-known principle: “No negotiations with terrorists,” now the main man in Washington, not knowing how to declare that ISAF forces suffered a fiasco in the war, suddenly gave the Talibs the most genuine democratic meaning. Speaking with Afghan President Karzai a few days ago, Mr. Obama invited the Taliban ... to get involved in the political process.
Moreover, the stormy activity of the newly elected US President with regard to those who were previously considered terrorists has not ended.
After talking with Karzai and giving the green light to the eternal friendship with the Taliban, Obama approved the Pakistani forgiveness to the Taliban.
In addition to other fighters for Sharia, Mullah Baradar, the No. XXUMX man in the Taliban leadership, will also be released from the dungeon. More recently, Washington considered him one of the most dangerous world terrorists.
But much more loudly than Obama is talking about the release of hundreds of Taliban scattered across Pakistani prisons, Afghan President Hamid Karzai. He intended to put his Washington boss's plans into practice: to involve the radical part of the opposition in the peace process of building democracy.
This suggests that Karzai is going to increase his legitimacy and strengthen the weak power position. It is doubtful, however, that this puppet president would hold out after the departure of the American troops in 2014 at least as long as the rest after the departure of the Soviet contingent, Comrade Najibullah. However, in the elections of the fourteenth year, the Taliban will take power.
Experts are surprised at the turn of the Afghan policy of the White House at 180 degrees. But in my opinion, nothing surprising and unusual is not here. I see two explanations for what is happening.
Here is the first. Obama is a secret radical Islamist, a supporter of the world sharia and the future caliph. There was no killing of bin Laden: it is a “duck” for the broad working masses of America, born by Obama in collaboration with Chubais at a meeting of the Bilderberg club. Washington is moving away from its previous positions, which is clear even to the most observant comrade who visits Infowars.com once a week, hanging on a hook from the FBI. The decision of the American president to unleash the terrorists and officially recognize the Taliban looks quite logical in this context: the defeat of the ISAF in Afghanistan is a victory for the cunning Obama. Earlier, the owner of the Oval and Blue Cabinets thought and waited, and now the clearing economic crisis has prompted him a way out. The days are approaching when Obama recognizes Al-Qaeda, asks his dear friend Ayman al-Zawahiri to leave the asylum and openly embraces his faithful brother Muhammad Mursi, denouncing the campers from Tahrir Square as “infidels”, “crusaders” and “jackals” .
The second possible explanation is that there was no departure from the harsh and merciless anti-terrorist (or, more precisely, anti-Islamic) positions in Washington. The White House and the Pentagon have just adopted a new strategy and tactics. The Taliban, the Al-Qaida, the Muslim Brotherhood, and their various minions like the Qaeda al-Jihad gang, recently put together in Egypt, will bring a new massacre, next to which the horrors of Syria will soon be forgotten. They will cut, and in response they will cut them. Both are good for the United States, because the United States is at war with the entire Islamic world, and this war has never stopped. Only now the White House has a new approach: everyone is fighting except the United States. Muslims will henceforth kill Muslims, and Washington will wash their hands.
As for the dark figures from the past, which today is difficult even with a stretch attributed to the representatives of secular democracy, in the case of the first option, the advanced Western press should work on their image. The relevant principles of work were set out in 1948 year in the novel “1984” by comrade Eric Blair, published under the nickname Orwell and described in detail the “Ministry of Truth”.
Six months or a year of intense suggestion - and the American man in the street will remember: the Taliban fought for democracy in Afghanistan for many years, opposing the Soviet occupiers, the illegitimate government of Najibullah, or the terrorists from the local population, by virtue of their darkness, opposed the democratic reforms of the Taliban. And only the advent of the American liberators in 2001 and the long joint struggle of the CIA, ISAF and the Taliban made it possible to light a ray of democratic light in the dark kingdom of Afghanistan by 2013. In 2014, the Kremlin's protege dictator Karzai was defeated ... And so on. History writing is easy.
Well, and to comrade Osama, who is not accidentally confused in America with Obama, the press will be initiated by belated obituaries. Bin Laden will be posthumously glorified as one of the foremost fighters for democracy, murdered by order of freedom fighters from somewhere in Moscow or, say, Minsk - according to the Washington Post and the New York Times, respectively.
In America, the revolution is ripening. Tyrant from the Oval Office will be defeated
It is also planned to take money from the Fed.
Brave guys will lead the uprising ... No, you have not guessed. Not blue from the Pentagon, not bisexual from the CIA and not in favor of the Second Amendment Alex Jones, the owner of Infowars.com. In the front ranks of the fighters for the liberation of his native country from Anonymus Hackers stated about changing priorities: from now on, their new methods of dealing with the government will be on DDoS attacks or hacking into the accounts of the Ministry of Finance, but armed struggle. The purpose of the revolution - the overthrow or destruction of the US government:
“... For the past 12 years, voting has been a useless affair. Corporations and lobbyists are the ones who really rule the country and have power over our lives. To rebuild our government, we must first destroy it. The hour has struck our democracy, the time has come to solve the problem. The hour has struck for America to start a revolution. In order to restore our constitutional rights in order to be free, “Anonymous”, together with the American people, decided to openly declare war on the government of the United States. This is a call to arms. ”
What do not like fellow hackers in progressive American society? It seems that there is everything: from "McDonald's" to an inexpensive mortgage. And Jennifer Lopez is often shown in a drawer. And Kim Kardashian too. Complete freedom: you can be an anti-Semite or a Islamophobe, dislike the black president, buy pistols at the nearest stall, charge them and go kill someone — say, in a kindergarten or college. The Fed is printing money in America - as much as you need ... Stop. This is exactly what hackers do not approve of.
They think the time is right put an end to Federal Reserve. Money - under the control of the people!
Hackers refuse to pay taxes: they don’t like to “tolerate inhuman treatment and lose human appearance at the behest of the very people who are financed from our dollars paid in taxes ... We demand freedom from government, taxation, seizures of property ...”
Anonymus is not going to continue to live in the police state, which has become America. The man is the blacksmith of his happiness, and with the state that takes away his hammer, assuring that he will live with the anvil, he is not on the way.
Comrades hackers, proudly calling themselves a people, refuse to give up their health, bodies, minds and lives to the predatory hands of the government. Drones vultures will not circle over American cities!
Why did not Anonymus not take up the AR-15 and "Saiga" before? It turns out that the first act of the national liberation drama was an attempt at a peace agreement: by hacking and computer attacks, hackers warned the government about its bad behavior. Now peaceful attempts to influence the system have exhausted themselves.
"Our peaceful rallies, patience and composure were visible to everyone as we watched and waited for our Congress and representatives to stand up for American citizens and protect us from the tyrant who sits in the Oval Office and is happy to take away their rights from the American people, one by one decree by decree. We waited long enough ... "
We are ours, we will build a new world:
Who was nothing, that will become everything.
Who was nothing, that will become everything.
Per aspera ad astra
NATO spaceship
Understanding that the threats of armed hackers are not groundless and that the people of Texas and Louisiana are about to join the Anonymus, who have been sharpening teeth for Obama for four years and have spent only one percent of GDP on rags and gun oil, other trembling US citizens have turned through e-government to the White House with a petition: let them, they say, quickly will be developed Universal starship, such that it was at the same time a spaceship, and a cargo port, and a transfer station. There is more food, water, aspirin - and, most importantly, do not infringe upon planting various minorities.The development of the spaceship in such alarming times, the petitioners decided not to charge NASA, but an adjacent organization in the alphabetical list - NATO. The fact is that only this organization will be able to protect the civilian population that has gone into space from the space pirates of Merrychak U and Kryss who roamed in the Universe. Everyone knows how effectively Anders Fogh Rasmussen masters the martial art of accelerated democratization.
And when the Texans and Anonymus, having heated up during the next four years of Obama and Biden’s reign to sunny temperatures, start to burn out their native America, the masters from those who are smarter and quieter will take their places in NATO-made starship and go to Betelgeuse.
They say that General Allen was dropped charges of adultery, so the other day he could lead the NATO working team for the construction of interstellar craft.
