The Russian people have always lived like crap – both under Soviet rule and under the tsar. And now he lives badly, but “we are a great Russian nation” / GORDON
Batsman proposed to raise this paradox with the appearance of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who, according to her, personifies “self-Russian bonds” and the “Russian path”, and at the same timewas photographed in Bali in the fully western part and surrounded by Western gadgets.
“All the people who have some kind of opportunity, who steal in Russia, rule Russia, are drawn to the West: they buy and carry only Western products, only all Westerners get them, just in case, they have passports of other countries, practically everyone, Their children study and have fun – in the West… Why can’t Russians put not two plus two, but one plus one. [власти] urge Russians to follow the Russian world, which is a hole instead of a half-toilet on the street in winter. And do they themselves get in a completely different way and by what the “decaying west” gives them? – shared the observation of the editor-in-chief of the publication “GORDON”.
Larina called the loyalty of the Russians to such a command of the “elite” “another mystery of the great Russian people.”
“For some reason, in one head, two ends of wires arise that do not spark, do not touch. And theft and absolute contempt for these people.
Larina does not find an answer to the question why this is possible in Russia and exports that it does not appear in the first generation.
“This is also one of the main questions that people have asked before us, what kind of people! Now I sometimes read some journalistic articles, there, Leo Tolstoy or Philosophical Letters” [русского мыслителя и публициста] Peter Chaadaeva. Everything was the same, it doesn’t touch in any way, ”she concludes.
According to the observation of journalists, no matter how many investigations the Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny and the team made, this had no effect.
“How many according to the chosen parameters, in the average, artistic language, as observed in public, in their own people, all these officials, from the lowest to the most” great and celestials “- this has not changed anything among the people: They still kneel [перед власть имущими]”, shared Larina.
Even the mobilization and mass death of Russians in Ukraine did not become a motive for the population of the Russian Federation to seriously ask questions with the authorities, to disseminate them by surveillance.
“Look, such “disturbing” times, it seems to me, have come for the authorities, because the people suddenly became worried about where our men go, and what is it, and where are they all shaved, and where do you take them, and why don’t you return them to us, but where are they? [падают] on their knees, shouting: Vladimir Vladimirovich, help, but where is the promised money? It’s such a rebellion. What else did {writer Mikhail} Saltykov-Shchedrin write about: “The Russian people love to rebel. noted Larina.
She concludes that in this sense, “nothing is changing in Russia, unfortunately.”
“I repeat that there was once a chance, maybe we were deceived. I” we “- as a liberal part of our society. And under the Soviet regime, and before the Soviet regime, and under the tsar-father, I always lived like shit. And now again I live badly. But we are a great Russian nation,” she noted.
The journalist admitted that she does not understand what to do, and why it is impossible to change such a social structure.
“We are very fond of talking about collective guilt and responsibility. For me, an important question is why we allowed this, why we nevertheless confessed – those people who wanted a different life, other countries, ”admitted Larina.
She agreed that the Russian passport is now synonymous with the aggressor. Also, according to Russian journalists, it symbolizes obscurantism “and in general a lack of understanding where the world is heading, that we are behind even not at speed, for a whole century.”
“We fell behind, we returned to bast shoes.
She added that after the start of the war in Ukraine Russian society also demonstratedabsolute lack of sympathy, empathy and empathy.
This is what the authorities did to the public people with the help of their propaganda machine, to the nation – absolute corruption. For me, this is a disaster, because I am a Russian person, I am a citizen of Russia. I worked for 30 years at the Ekho Moskvy radio station. I talked to people on the radio for years, and it seemed to me that we had a chance, “summed up Larina.
