Masters against masters, “leftists” against the Chancellor, or Whom else pushed “Maidan” with their foreheads?
And it is even more fashionable when cultural and art figures themselves are eager to fight in terms of the desire to express their support or total contempt for actions or statements by the Russian authorities on a particular issue. Today there is one question on the agenda - the official position of Russia on the Ukrainian events.
Celebrities and those who ranked themselves as such were divided into two opposing camps, taking places on both sides of the barricades. The singers abandoned the microphones, and some of the phonograms, the writers put pencils and paper aside, the artists left to brush and dry the canvases, the ballerinas didn’t rehearse the fouette, film scholars distracted themselves from film studies, but everyone began to sort things out in terms of who will shout who in the media.
“Putin, hands off Crimea!” - shout harpists and guslar.
“Putin, we are with you! Crimea must become Russian! ” - try to shout down harpists and guslars spoons and flute players from another team.
The orchestra goes to the orchestra, the art guild - to the art guild, the populists - to the waltzists, the folk artists - to the artists honored and undeserved. Philologists are twigs on philosophers, but they, in turn, do not remain in debt ...
And in a number of media outlets, an entire campaign is unfolding on this occasion: some in red pencil encircle the names of all those artists and cultural figures who are now in favor of the referendum, while others are all those who are against the referendum. Moreover, both of them are extremely surprised when the same surname suddenly appears on both lists at once. Often, celebrities themselves are surprised to learn that they are both “for” and at the same time “against” ...
One of such people was, for example, Dmitry Kharatyan, who seemed to be signing an appeal to the president about his support for the position on the Crimea, and then suddenly saw his name and “signature” in another letter, which turned out to be cleverly concocted by representatives of the MD misinformation - and such against the background of the Ukrainian events, especially on the territory of Ukraine itself, a considerable amount was divorced) in order to “attract” valuable personnel to the side of the enemy.
Besides Dmitry Kharatyan, Leonid Kuravlev, Yuri Stoyanov, Sergey Makovetsky and other well-known actors were surprised for a long time, who, if they signed under some address, then only under one, but not under two, contradictory each other ...
In general, in the informational (or rather, in the disinformational) war, as they say, all means are good, and some people decided that it would be nice in the form of "cannon fodder" to achieve their own goals to push even the representatives of Russian culture with their foreheads. Like, look, Russia is finally descending into the abyss of the Middle Ages, since even cultural people rush at each other and "eat" because of the difference in political and near-political views ...
Efremov, Rozovsky, Ulitskaya - against the position of the Russian authorities in the Crimea; Garmash, Gergiev, Kobzon - for ...
Wow, of course, artists are ardent people, but still I would like to urge them to show restraint in their assessments and ensure that they do not succumb to obvious provocations connected with their “political credo”. This political credo for us, their fans, of course, is very important, but still, dear artists, you are important to us first and foremost as artists, for which you appreciate it ... If the ballerinas will pack up on the barricades, and the musicians will begin to prove correctness of our political views with the help of, let's say, inappropriate use of musical instruments, then we risk repeating the Ukrainian “order”, which certain forces (indeed, they are certain! ..) and seek ...
The Ukrainian situation, as it turned out, confronts not only the Russian cultural elites, but also representatives of Western politics. So far the matter of hand-to-hand fights does not reach on any of these "fronts", but the situation is so tense that even look at it, someone pushes the opponent on the first number - and not only verbally.
To understand how great the heat, you can look out over the corner of the eye in the “Bundestag” - the parliament of the Federal Republic of Germany. There, Angela Merkel spoke this morning, coming down with angry criticism of Russia in connection with her official position on the state of affairs in Ukraine. Ms. Chancellor urged parliamentarians in the event of "disobedience" of the Russian Federation to impose sanctions against the Russian Federation in three stages: from visa to trade.
Merkel's proposals on the imposition of sanctions, apparently, should have been drowned in stormy and uninterrupted applause, but not drowned ... For some reason they did not drown, - apparently, Merkel reasoned after her release.
A cold shower struck the Chancellor from the “Left” camp (the third largest faction in the Bundestag), whose general opinion was expressed in a very sarcastic way by the head of this faction, Gregor Gysi:
In general, Angela Merkel expected more support, but here it is ... Although, arguing about the sanctions against Russia, it should be, and she herself was thinking in her mind how many tens of billions of losses a year could be incurred by the mighty German economy, containing in Europe then many: from the rest after the centuries-old "ancient" work of the Greeks with the Italians, to the Romanians, Latvians and other young Europeans, torn on the Olympics of democracy ...
Apparently, the confusion and vacillation of the Kiev Maidan is so contagious that it is ready to amaze everyone around: from Russian cinema-goers and about “big and small theaters” to the chancellors and parliamentarians who applaud them in the building of the “Bundestag”, where, by the way, there are still inscriptions Soviet soldiers who popularly explained in their time to the world, on whose side the truth.
