Last weekend (on a single voting day!), The Runet was buzzing, as you know what.

The reason for heated debate was another initiative, this time by the architects, connected with the collection of ideas on the "re-use" of the Vladimir Lenin Mausoleum.

Her subtle, in some ways even Jesuit character, as expected, caused an extremely harsh reaction from Gennady Zyuganov, who declared his "contempt" for the authors of the venture and promised to "drive them out of there."

Proposals to take Lenin out of the mausoleum can "set Russia on fire," the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation believes.

It seems that the Union of Architects of the Russian Federation (UAR) did not expect such an ardent assessment.

Its President Nikolai Shumakov hastened to explain himself.

The SAR, he stressed, is a creative organization that “is not engaged in politics, let alone extremism”.

They say that the meaning of the proposal is just to create a bank of ideas about the possible use of the mausoleum later, in the distant future, when the inevitable, from his point of view, Lenin's reburial will happen.

“There are no political or extremist motives here,” the country's chief architect assured.

However, the word “extremism”, twice repeated by Shumakov (mind me!), Clearly indicates that if he does not understand, then he feels: the case smelled of kerosene.

Assurances in the apolitical nature of the venture are broken up against the passage of the provisions on the competition announced by the SAR, where it is written in black and white about a country that has realized the historical mistakes of the past, and arguments are given in favor of reburial - from the Orthodox tradition to the will of the leader of the world proletariat himself.

In this case, the word "Leader" is written for some reason with a capital letter.

Camouflage?

They say, we respect him, but ... However, perhaps the architects here turned out to be extreme by accident.

Creative people are sometimes like children: they see nothing around except art.

Discussions about the legacy of the architect Shchusev, the opportunity to open a museum of his work in the mausoleum could well blind their eyes.

No wonder they do not get tired of calling the mausoleum a "masterpiece".

It seems that they really do not look or see beyond their architectural affairs.

But those who threw the CAP this idea ... Oh, these people are truly the architects of human souls.

It looks like we are witnessing a kind of informational special operation.

Its meaning is, under the guise of discussing the forms of using the mausoleum, to accustom Russian society to the idea that the current form - the tomb of the founder of the USSR - should be abandoned.

This means that it is imperative to reburial Lenin, and with him the desire for a welfare state.

It is no secret that there are people in the country who dream of settling scores with the Soviet period of our history.

Well, they have a right.

However, until now they have reasonably tried not to wake up the people dashingly.

And suddenly…

But isn't it too late?

An amendment to the Constitution on a single and indivisible history of our country has just been adopted at a popular vote initiated by Vladimir Putin.

By the way, this is what the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation refers to.

Indeed (suddenly someone has forgotten), in the basic law of the country, Art.

67.1, directly fixing the legal succession of today's Russia from the USSR, recognizing the historically established state unity and ensuring the protection of historical truth.

Simply put, what was, what was.

You can't erase a word from a song.

And the point here is not Lenin at all.

Let's leave him alone.

And in the age-old dream of justice inherent in the Russian people.

It is not for nothing that in the country two of the four parliamentary parties (the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the SR) have a pronounced left tint.

And the new, so-called small parties, which in a year will take part in the parliamentary elections, are largely betting on this same craving for property equality inherent in many voters.

Is it wise to ignore this, break the symbols that are important for half the country?

Will this add internal stability to Russia?

Or are we living bored?

As in some Switzerland, from morning to evening, we count and count, sitting in oversleeves, strangers and our money, yawn? .. No, quite in good shape.

Moreover, we have nearby, our neighbors, an excellent example of what neglect of stability leads to.

For six years Ukraine has been burning, half of the country has left to work, and soon the Wild Field will be back (and there is not a single Lenin left in the country).

Is this what we want in Russia?

Soon, God forbid, a similar "movement" may begin in Belarus.

We will be good if we follow the same path of settling historical accounts.

Wise nations accept their entire history as a whole.

Both national heroes and national villains are their property.

Cromwell or, for example, Robespierre, having played their historical role (for someone terrible, but for someone great), went to serve each of his own nation, his people.

And it was these great European nations that ruled and still rule the world.

Lenin is perhaps the most recognizable Russian brand in the world.

To refuse it, to break it with your own hands is stupid.

It makes more sense to put them at the service of Russia.

And if we don't know how, we can't, then at least we don't need to touch him.
