Director Nikita Mikhalkov proposed to revoke citizenship of people calling for sanctions against Russia.
Those who want to enter their bright future through economic troubles.
It was not about some kind of sublimation of repressive measures in order to nip at the root any dissent and drive it underground, but about bringing to life those who call for the destruction of the country.
The topic arose after our valiant irreconcilable oppositionists, professionally engaged in demonization of the country, advocating for its defeat, switched not just to hopes for foreign countries, which will always and certainly help.
But they began to urge the "big brother" to expand and deepen the policy of sanctions against Russia.
Began to helpfully draw up their own black lists of sanctions.
They have not yet reached the firing squad, but such a repressive language spins around, although it is not widely articulated out loud.
Others have long developed the habit of meeting any sanctions against Russia with thunderous applause, turning into a standing ovation.
It is possible that under their pillows they have bouquets and loaves prepared for the meeting of the "liberators".
How else can you interpret this position?
This hysterical rage, demonstrating the extreme degree of alienation from the country, was the result of the transfer of the protest to a new level in the style of "there is no turning back."
In fact, we are told: war is like war - and all means are good.
Those who call, most likely, feel themselves in a state of war with the state.
All this is a new season of the project "Navalny" with "poisoning", miraculous salvation and suffering.
A project that affects the primary emotions and instincts, translating them into a state close to religious fanaticism.
The intensity of these passions must be reduced.
Moreover, the same Mikhalkov did not promise the eternal cold of the ice lake of the ninth circle of hell to Dante.
People who are advocating for sanctions already have a trump card up their sleeves: "it's time to throw it down."
Why not talk about citizenship and citizenship in this situation? .. Who is a citizen?
He is distinguished only by the stamp in his passport and his attitude to the state, to which he owes nothing, but constantly demands to drink tea?
Is he led by revelatory video sensations and is charged with the pathos of exposure?
It’s not even a question of punishment, but of developing a persistent rejection of the position from which the concept of “citizen” fundamentally diverges.
A citizen of Russia calling on Western countries to punish Russia - all this, to put it mildly, sounds very wild.
A citizen under no circumstances will call and appeal to an external force, this is unacceptable for him - a taboo.
The current "prayers" for lightning sanctions are incitement to external interference in the country's internal sovereign affairs, that is, to economic intervention.
Still economic.
Even before the director Mikhalkov, the speaker of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin reacted to this, who allowed the translation of such appeals and actions aimed at imposing sanctions into the plane of criminal law.
“There should be a very harsh punishment for this kind of action,” said Volodin.
This is a very important discussion, which is not at all situational in nature, as a reaction to specific calls-pleas for sanctions.
It's not about tightening the nuts, but about defining the norms of what is permissible.
About what is good and what is bad, in the end, without speculative confusion and loss of coasts and landmarks.
First, there is a vicious inertia of perception of a different - "civilized, democratic" and further down the list - point of view as the supreme measure and truth.
Abroad, as the arbiter of destinies and the supreme judge, is the human Olympus, who is called upon to sort out the guilt of other humanity mired in sins.
In this picture of the world, our country is precisely the very territory of darkness and sinful periphery, where only crimes are committed, and righteous judgment here is impossible without external participation and leadership.
Such prejudices and superstitions are strong enough and still seem convincing to many, as well as the opinion that the Earth is flat.
It is no coincidence that the supremacy of Russian laws is spelled out in the transformed Constitution.
The current discussion leads, among other things, to the comprehension of this priority, works to increase the self-awareness of society.
Secondly, the calls to punish Russia with sanctions are to overcome the generally recognized moral taboo.
They move into a plane very close to betrayal.
The genealogy of this can be traced, for example, from the very uncompromising struggle with the state, which has been dragging on since perestroika.
Then a strong rejection of the whole present and the past was instilled as a criminal mistake and all derivatives from this.
The poisons of that decay and confrontation have not been fully eliminated until now.
Then the element of nihilism took over, in the current discussion we must learn to overcome it and build our sovereign value system.
It is necessary to overcome both the vulgar and the very dangerous division of the country and the state, which is almost the norm in our country.
There is an alibi excuse that they are not going to war against Russia, but against a criminal, bloody and most terrible regime, which must be overcome at any cost, because it is beyond the bounds of good and evil.
This has already happened in our modern history, and after that the thinker Alexander Zinoviev said his famous: "They aimed at communism, but ended up in Russia."
Similar features of the sight are observed now.
They aim at corruption, but work for disintegration.
Here we do not even have common features, but a single process of disintegration, turning into turmoil.
This is not even an echo of the decay phenomena of perestroika, but their duration to the present day - the very same perestroika that smoothly flows into perestroika 2.0.
It is with these viruses that we are dealing now; this is precisely what the current inflated protest is aimed at.
The crisis of the "mental sphere", about which the same Zinoviev wrote.
On an inverted consciousness, on its disorganization.
For complete mixing, where anything is possible and acceptable.
Even the behavior model of the Bad Boy.
The main thing is that there are barrels of jam and mountains of cookies ahead.
And so what if the country will be eaten for this? ..
Society has already been given a directive that must be taken on faith, rejecting all doubts: the regime is criminal, corrupt, crazy and inadequate, it will stop at nothing.
Why is it necessary to be almond with him?
This is how they program.
The accusations of the perfidious Russia, which seeks to subjugate all peoples, grossly overstepping the norms of morality and laws, have been carefully written down and carefully recorded in recent years.
Now we are talking about the punishments that should be introduced "at the request of the working people" of the democratic front.
At such a loosening of the "mental sphere", when many debatable assumptions become possible, at one time, for example, the well-known survey about the surrender of Leningrad was directed, as if it would have been possible to save lives.
Or the recurring theme of General Vlasov, whose actions are proposed to be understood and perceived not at all in the focus of betrayal.
By the way, something like that has now become a rabid cult in Ukraine.
Our society is now developing immunity to all these viral attacks.
Therefore, he should be reminded of the concept of "citizen", as well as responsibility.
So the press secretary of the president Dmitry Peskov in his commentary noted the relevance of the topic of responding to sanctions calls and that it will be discussed.
Actually, Fyodor Dostoevsky spoke about all this through the mouth of Yevgeny Pavlovich in his novel The Idiot: “My liberal has come to the point where he denies Russia itself, that is, he hates and beats his mother.
Every unfortunate and unsuccessful Russian fact excites laughter and almost delight in him. "
Can a citizen beat his mother?
Maybe it's time to protect her?
In general, the entire domestic culture is about this.
About protection.
About opposition to schism, strife, strife.
This is how Pushkin's “Slanderers of Russia” comes to mind: “What are you making noise about, folk whims?
/ Why are you threatening Russia with anathema? "
