During quarantine, the brainless Latvian “intelligentsia” began to resent the Pushkin monument. This one.
Sandra Weinberga, an expert in the field of media, associate professor of RISEBA, simply cannot eat, looking at the great Russian poet. https://twitter.com/sandraveinberga/...02330250539009 - the post already deleted.
I will not ask now why this turbopatriot is walking around the park at a time when the country, exhausted in the fight against coronavirus, is sitting in houses and apartments under the risk of considerable fines, which the police willingly write out to everyone.“There is no place for such monuments in Riga, they supposedly testify to the emptiness of Latvian cultural ties and are essentially ridiculous and humiliating,” Professor Weinberga insists on her own.
And I will not even remind you that the very Anna Kern, the wife of the commandant of the Riga garrison, lived in Riga. Pushkin wrote letters to her and devoted poetry.
I will omit today the fact that the professor is not alone. The "Latvian patriotic public", outraged by the rampant Russian classical poetry, has repeatedly desecrated this modest monument, sawing off parts of the sculpture or "decorating" the poet’s neck with a symbolic loop.
Today I’m talking about what patriots like this frantic Sandra consider Real Values, and I’ll start this chapter with a sculpture that the “Latvian patriotic public” erected in front of the Academy of Arts and which does not reject any true Latvian patriot:
Russian journalist Yuri Alekseev, a non-handshake one for the Latvian "patriotic public", drew attention to the legal document "CANON OF CULTURE OF LATVIA", which was written by the Latvians themselves - the best art experts, collecting in it 99 of the best cultural values in the history of the Latvian people. https://www.russkije.lv/ru/journalis...tvian-culture/
So, the meticulous Alekseev, having reviewed the entire list, found that 40% of the main cultural values of Latvians were created during the Soviet era, and another 28% in the dark times of Russian tsarism.
That is, almost 70% of all Latvian cultural achievements are achievements of the “damned occupiers” and “damned collaborators”.
However, with the remaining 30%, not everything is so beautiful either. For example, “SILHOUETTE OF OLD RIGA”, formed by the Germans and Swedes, can’t relate to the Latvian ethnic culture. Not to mention the epic "Lāčplēsis", copied by the captain of the tsarist army from the Russian prince Vyacheslav Borisovich, who led the defense of Yuriev (Tartu) from the Teutons.
Addressing the Latvian intellectuals who fought so hard for national liberation and emancipation, Yura Alekseev draws attention to the main thing, which I would like to emphasize:
Well what can I say ... No, they are not ashamed. They feel good! They, within the framework of the "fight" against coronavirus, have already spent 4.5 billion euros in two months and are not going to stop there, while at least something else can be sucked out of the EU bins. But Pushkin is hindering them. If not for him, then in general everything would be blessed and spiritually uplifting."From your Canon it is obvious that over the last 21 years of your independence, NOT A SINGLE noticeable work of visual art, NOT A SINGLE musical piece, NOT A SINGLE movie, practically not a single literary work has been created ...
Let me remind you once again: this “Canon” was not composed by the damned “occupiers”, but by your best art experts.
And are you ready to continue shouting that the Russians “oppressed” you? Not ashamed?"
