God forbid we go crazy
God forbid we go crazy.
It is better - the staff and sou.
In the old days, we went crazy personally.
And now the service has information crazy.
Calling progress is indecent ...
For people burdened historical thinking and cognition, anti-Russian events in Ukraine were not a big surprise, but rather were expected. The only discussion was the question of the timing and depth of the next exacerbation of this centuries-old fault. About the severity and depth of the Russian-Ukrainian interethnic fault, our life together and history speaks vividly, colorfully and almost continuously. Much, informatively and from different points of view, it was written about this and on "VO".
Here are just a few links:
Formation of the Dnieper and Zaporizhia troops and their service to the Polish-Lithuanian state;
The transfer of the Cossack army hetman to the Moscow service;
Treason of Mazepa and the pogrom of Cossack liberties by Tsar Peter;
Treason of Mazepa and the pogrom of Cossack liberties by Tsar Peter;
The uprising of Pugachev and the elimination of the Dnieper Cossacks by Empress Catherine.
Another thing is that not everyone has been given this to know and see, well, God bless them. In this world there must always be blind people, otherwise what is the need for guides. In this centuries-old Russian-Ukrainian disorder there were periods of acute and cruel confrontation, and there were periods of long and relative lull and reconciliation, when the confrontation of Ukrainians was regulated by the ancient and inexorable law of existence in the diaspora: “... surreptitiously and hypocritically sow disbelief and doubt, hoit and sneak, debauchery and vices ... "etc., etc. The babble of historically illiterate people that recent events are a consequence of the policies of the last 23 years can be answered with the words from the Scripture: “Happy, who does not know.” However, ignorance does not justify people in committing folly and mistakes. Ignorance of the history, traditions and mentality of the Afghan peoples does not in the least justify Brezhnev and Andropov for the introduction of troops into Afghanistan.
I grew and matured in the 60-80 years of the twentieth century, in the period of international calm and peace, but even then my attentive gaze periodically cut ukrov antics. Here is one of the typical mise en scenes. When I served in the army (DMB 82-84), often in the officer's hotel they played preference. Among us were officers, Dnieper ukry (Zaporizhia, Dnepropetrovsk, Poltava). So, after the third glass, they traditionally started their song: “Ukraine is rich, we have everything. But the Union (Muscovites) is robbing us, they have eaten all our lard, drank all the vodka, have rehauled all our marvels. ”
It was unpleasant for us to listen to this nonsense, we stopped inviting them to the “bullet”. It is curious that among us was one Kazakh lieutenant. So, such nonsense, only in the Kazakh manner, he began to carry only after ... the sixth glass. (Now I think with horror when this “sixth glass” shoots out in Russian-Kazakh relations, because we all know: what is drunk in the language, then what’s sober in the head. For me this question is not idle, I live a hundred kilometers from the Kazakh border. )
Then, in the civilian world, I quite regularly went on business trips to related enterprises in Ukraine. And these trips first engendered, and then more and more strengthened some distrust of the people there. Outwardly, everything seemed to be garneau, but the attentive eye could not hide a stone in the bosom. However, what to repeat. He described everything in more detail in the article: http://topwar.ru/53959-remarki-na-ukrainskuyu-temu.html.
Perestroika turned out to be a “moment of truth” and showed that “xy is xy” in our Union. With the Balts and the Georgians everything was clear, these almost always hated us and longed for the destruction of the Union, although the Russians saved the Georgians from extermination by the Persians and Turks, and the Baltic states from extermination and assimilation (like Prussians) by the Germans and Poles. At the same time, one of the companions of Gamsakhurdia was especially impressed with him, who said: “But no one asked you to save us. If we were exterminated, then such was the will of God and the historical fate of our people. ”
With ukrami everything was much smarter and more cunning. Sneakily and hypocritically, they prepared a stab in the back of the Union, and when, after the Emergency Committee, the opportunity presented itself, they immediately took advantage of this opportunity. In December, 1991, even on the way to Belovezhie, at the Minsk airport, the president of Ukraine, Kravchuk, said that Ukraine would not sign the new union treaty IN ANY WHAT VIDEO. From such arrogance and deceit, even among the seasoned traitors and destroyers of the country Yeltsin and Shushkevich, their eyes became 7 kopecks, and Burbulis and Shahrai were speechless. Their first comments (it is easy to see in the archives of television) were completely similar to the first vague and frightened muttering Matvienko and Naryshkin on the recent decision of the President of Russia to annex the Crimea. Then Shahray with Burbulis in a hurry and came up with this bastard called the CIS.
However, even then Kravchuk declared that Ukraine didn’t need this either, and he signed up for the CIS more out of politeness. All subsequent democratically elected Ukrainian hetmans (that is, the presidents) only widened, deepened, aggravated and deepened the gulf between our peoples and states - who are more, who are smaller. However, it is at least naive to blame everything on them and the gentry around them.
The Scripture says: "Every nation deserves its ruler", which loosely translated from Russian into Russian means: "A clever people cannot have a stupid ruler, a stupid people can not have a clever ruler, a cunning people cannot have a simple-ruler , a tolerant people cannot have a racist or fanatic ruler, a militant people cannot have a pacifist ruler, etc. ”
So, ukry elected not aliens as presidents and deputies, but of their own kind, only more cunning, insidious, unscrupulous, unprincipled, thieving, boorish and hypocritical than themselves.
With all my extremely wary attitude towards Ukraine and the Ukrainians, and this is putting it mildly, I did not dare to write sharply on this topic for a very long time, I was afraid to harm. But the situation was getting worse, and since the beginning of 2012, my articles and comments have become sharper. At first, they called on “VO” more minuses than pluses, but even then I realized that I was not alone in my doubts. Plusping has gone since summer 2013 of the year: apparently, people began to see clearly.
After all, we are Russian - a nation of myth-makers and myth-believers. Only a harsh reality is capable of clearing brains and freeing itself from some myths, as well as the bitter and sweet tales invented by Russian storytellers, to many (even far from everyone). The insight of our mass consciousness towards Ukraine and the Ukrainians went very slowly, the myths and sweet tales of Russian storytellers about the brotherhood of Slavic peoples very slowly leave the body and soul of a very gullible Russian person prone to pleasant fantasies. However, a fair question arises: why the hell did I now recall all this sad chronology of destruction, when now only the lazy ones did not see the light and do not water the last words with ukrov?
But the fact is that I am still afraid to raise one very slippery topic in this Russian-Ukrainian business. But my attentive eye, sensitive ear and analytical mind began to grab more and more disturbing symptoms and signals, and I decided. I will formulate this topic in the following way: the possible behavior of the Ukrainian diaspora in Russia in the conditions of a protracted (and there is no doubt about it) Russian-Ukrainian conflict. There is very little hope for the attenuation and dimming of this conflict. A quick glance at Ukrainian TV and the Internet is enough to understand that Russophobia is raging in Ukraine. From telephone conversations with the Ukrainian relatives in shock, even those Russian Ukrainians, whom you can’t call Russophiles. The rest is just a stupor. For Americans and our European enemies at the moment this is a huge geopolitical success. There has never been anything good from a united Europe to Russia, NEVER. Moreover, there will be nothing good even now, especially from the united Europe and even united with North America. However, they know the lessons of history well, they are different in Harvard-Oxford and Sorbonne, they teach the gentry. Therefore, I recall the old European geopolitical parable.
It is known that having piled on a crowd, you can even cover a bear, although this is not an indisputable fact. But first, he will definitely break it. Therefore, no one wants to be the first. For this you need to find fools. For many centuries the role of these fools was played by the Turks and Poles together with the Allied and subordinate tribes. Wise Europeans regularly sent them to the east for slaughter. Not once did the Germans, the Swedes and the French, once even the British, be noted as fools. Americans, pay attention, are too smart to do such a stupid job. Now, the old fools have already been taught, so they are looking for new ones. Recently, in this field unsuccessfully tried to find the laurels, even the Georgians, now the Americans have a row of Ukrainians. And it is very inexpensive, practically for the pies on the Maidan, they got their hands on several millions of crazy fighting cockerels, ready to rush recklessly and impudently at everyone whom the trainer points out. And Ukraine itself will obediently and for a long time play the role of a hungry, but evil, watchdog dog of the West in southwest Russia. This is unheard of luck of the united West, and the most honest of them have already frankly stated that they will selflessly fight with Russia ... "until the last living Ukrainian".
But back to our Russian Ukrainians. The behavior of the diaspora is already somewhat puzzling, namely:
- chronic, deathly silence of the Ukrainian diaspora regarding the conflict. It is impossible to talk either publicly or privately, not that from the third glass (remember the preference story at the beginning of the article), even from the fifth to the tenth. They stubbornly keep silent, like they’ve got water in their mouths, well, and as a result, they all think about us. The third is not given;
- periodically signs of active actions began to appear: demonstrations in the capitals of actual support for the ATO in the south-east under the Ukrainian flags, mysterious and suspicious road accidents, fights, mass injuries of the unwary our fellow citizens with the participation of citizens of Ukraine and their accomplices.
It seems not yet thick, well, thank God. But the deathly silence of the diaspora is very annoying. Despite its relative small number, if taken as a whole in Russia, it is distributed unevenly across regions.
As can be seen on the map, the largest percentage of Ukrainians are represented in the most economically prosperous regions, which is quite consistent with the century-long tendency of this public to remove the foams and cream in any situation. Who served in the army, he hardly presents, to the clerk, storekeeper, bread slicer or capter - but not Ukrainian. To tell the truth, even in the places of the most mass diaspora its percentage is much lower than the so-called critical mass (20%), but in some regions it is very close to this.
I recall the essence of this very critical mass. Suppose the play is over. 20% of the audience really liked it, they get up, start to applaud, shout bravo, encore and all that. Another 20% of viewers liked the play rather than not, they also stand up and applaud. 20% of the spectators either liked the show or didn’t understand it, but, looking at others, they also begin to stand up and applaud. Another 20% of the audience did not understand anything, but looking at others, they reluctantly get up and begin to applaud. Another 20% of the audience did not like the performance, but after a while, seeing general rejoicing, they reluctantly get up and sluggishly applaud "for the company." This is how the effect of applause arises. Similarly, you can simulate the failure. In any case, there must be at least 20% radicals that must detonate, create a chain reaction, otherwise nothing will come of it. This is what makes the Ukrainian diaspora more concerned in some key regions. No one knows fellow countrymen better than themselves, well, and the opinion of T.G. Shevchenko is just a classic.
And he will always remain a Ukrainian, a Ukrainian, even though you let him go to Europe, even to Asia ... The whole question is when, how, in what form and with what jokes he makes a mess in this very soup.
I really want to make a mistake in my premonition and prediction, and keep silent again. But here is something my old, hard, tanned skin does not allow to do this. Spinal cord I feel that from this diaspora Russians are still waiting for us many wonderful discoveries, not excluding the Crimean diaspora.
It is better - the staff and sou.
In the old days, we went crazy personally.
