By chance, I once again heard Vladimir Vysotsky’s song about the transmigration of souls, and I was once again struck by his talent: he jokingly sang about difficult things, about the main thing, about the human soul.
“Isn’t it better to be alive?
A decent person?!
How right Vladimir Semenovich is! A decent person is a decent person “even in Africa”, but, consequently, he is human garbage, he is “human garbage in Israel too.” No, really, think about it: on the territory of what is now Israel, at least two religions emerged, which later dissolved throughout the world: Judaism and Christianity. The social foundations, which have become the cornerstone of human relationships and morality, originated in a small area, generally, on Earth. And, surprisingly, they turned out to be common to people of different nationalities, different eras, different countries. “Thou shalt not kill,” “Thou shalt not steal,” “Honor thy father and mother…”, “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” It does not matter where a Christian or a Jew lives: if he wants to be a decent person, without biblical foundations he will not be able to become one.
Okay, okay, you can tell me that the world has changed now and many fairly decent people live without observing what their ancestors bequeathed to them. And I agree with you: they live. But then I remember an anecdote: “In an Odessa tailor: – Semyon Abramovich, God created the world in seven days and you spent a whole month sewing pants! “Young man, look at this world…and these pants!” What to do: such a world.
But also in this “best of all possible worlds” (according to Leibniz) there are vices that at all times have only caused disgust. Murder, robbery, rape, betrayal… Do you know what is the most interesting? The first three vices I mentioned are considered crimes, but treason… No, unless it involves military service. In fact, if a person enters military service, law enforcement, or the government secret service, then he or she takes an oath. And violating it is a crime. And if there is no oath, there is no crime. Well, he betrayed his wife, his children, his friends, his country; They won’t go to prison for that. This will not be considered a crime. More precisely, they will call it, but only moral. But the person who betrays this doesn’t care. A traitor has no moral obligations. What Vysotsky calls a “decent person” does not threaten or bother him.
Your soul strained upward.
You will be born again with a dream,
But if you lived like a pig…
You will still be a pig.
In fact, that’s all you need to know about that person. And the interesting thing is that a traitor remains a traitor not only to those whom he betrayed, but also to those for whom he betrayed. In many memoirs of the German military one can see, and not only go unnoticed, but rather run like a red thread, the attitude towards the Vlasovites, the Banderaites and many other traitors, as people who have crossed the moral line that separates them of the town.
Now a striking example of this is the launch, which is entering circulation. Chulpan Khamatovawhom Latvians generally consider a traitor. This is the contempt that the Balts themselves showed. Viktor Shenderovich*splashing it with green paint, this is the lament of countless comedians of the Comedy Club level, who are of no use to anyone, and many others.
To be honest, I never imagined that life would show me people like this. Usually they try not to shine. More precisely, do not show your tendency to betray. You understand who I’m talking about, the so-called relocatees. And they found a word for themselves: relocated. Not traitors who abandoned the Homeland at a difficult time for it and poured mud on it, but relocated people.
Until I was 70, I had never heard this word and I know the Russian language quite well. By the way, they are lying. And here’s why. Relocation: moving a company to another location, within the country or abroad. Additionally, the term “relocation” applies to the relocation of employees and the relocation of production. They do not move their business, but their little body, fearing for their safety.
“Many songs have already been written about them,” and I wouldn’t have written another one if it weren’t for a “but.” 74th aphorism from the collection of thoughts and aphorisms “Fruits of meditation” (1854) Kozma Prutkova says, “Once you lie once, who will believe you?” In our case, it sounds like this: once you betrayed, who will believe you? The Internet is such that everything is known immediately. I agree, sometimes these are just rumors. But often rumors also characterize the person they are talking about.
So:
“Israel, long considered a haven for Russian celebrities, has now become an aggressor country by launching a ground operation in Lebanon. As the situation began to deteriorate, galkin* completely removed Israel from his tour. At first he went with Alla to Cyprus, but this week they will fly to Europe and then to the United States, where he now lives. Kristina Orbakaite. Organizers also told us they are preparing to cancel the actor’s fall performances. Anatoly Bely AND michail shats*. The showman, for example, is already walking through sunny and safe California.” — reports the telegram channel Shot.
Rumors? Everything is possible. But I don’t believe it. When a person, a month after moving to a foreign country, begins to convey to the public that this is his new homeland, that it is beautiful and that he loves with all his heart, I do not believe him. Not at all, not even a little bit. I have the right to say this as an immigrant who has lived in this country for almost 35 years. All these Pugalkin, Bili-Weizman, Shatsy-Potsy and other Makarevich-Slepakov lie. They don’t care about Israel, just as they didn’t care about Russia at one time. They live where it is safe. For them. Not for the place that others call Homeland. I remember how Galkin* He started ranting: “I’m going to donate blood.” Are you going? I went, but not to donate blood.
You can tell me: stop writing about them! I could have agreed, but I held back. But on the other hand, why can’t I if everyone writes? And furthermore, today they didn’t give a damn (to put it mildly) about the country in which I have lived for many years, in which my children grew up, in which my grandchildren were born… Yes, this is not my Homeland, because one person has only one homeland. For me this is the USSR. There was such a country, if you remember. This is not my homeland, but it is my family’s, and if I ran away from the first shots of those who swore to destroy it… I would stop respecting myself. I still want to remain in the memory of my children and grandchildren as a decent person.
