Amount of news. Friday
Friday, and there are no foreign agents. Perhaps because today is the day when the Russian people are all in a single impulse and one whole, and not in confusion and vacillation.
A holiday in Rus’, the Day of National Unity in everything and with everything. The heads of the regions congratulate the population in all sorts of ways (head of Crimea Aksyonov, for example, said that the spirit of the holiday brought us the lands of the Kherson region, Zaporozhye etc., and the governor of the Voronezh region saw unity in fundraising), but none of them can come close to the top – the incomparable written speech (post on Twitter) by Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev, in which the echoes of the writer and philosopher Alexander Prokhanov are even directly audible. Medvedev’s entire post, of course, is not about agreement or unity. It is little about us, but more about them, those who are “a miserable bunch of Nazi drug addicts”, “a pack of barking dogs from a Western kennel”, “a pack of grunting gilts”, and our people are all in white. “the sacred goal is to stop the lord of hell”. So to say, good mood to you …
All this would be funny if it were not so sad and scary.
And the chanson star Vika Tsyganova sang a song in honor of PMC “Wagner”, about “our Russian PMC”. And people are still unaware that private military companies are prohibited by Russian laws and that a few months ago journalists were tried for libel when they talked about Yevgeny Prigozhin and his interesting business. And dedicate songs open business centers. Like they’re not illegal. Or indeed: in law?
However, they are trying to legalize it. Putin signed a law on volunteers receiving the status of military personnel under a contract. This law may also apply to Wagner PMC. And another law: about the fact that it was possible mobilize people with active convictions. Prigogine will appreciate it.
Art group “Yav” released a new work “Bridge”. The artists dated it to the Day of National Unity.
And in Saratov, the clergy walked in a religious procession in honor of national unity and the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, for victory in the war and against parents with serial numbers 1 and 2 (calculate!). Particularly gratifying is the prayer for traditional values from the local Metropolitan Ignatius, known their unconventional sexual preferences.
And while the people are celebrating, somewhere in the background, the deputy head of the Kherson region, Kirill Stremousov, is announcing in Kherson “round the clock curfew”, then habitually changes his mind, as he did with the evacuation. And far away bomb shelters are being prepared on the banks of the Amur. For the Russian national unity of the 21st century – unity in fear and trouble.
