Russian political satire
I propose in this thread to consider such a phenomenon as the Russian political satire, mainly the part devoted to the relations "Russia and Europe", "Russia and the Western world".
First: "What should be a Russia that its image in the European mass media has turned into a positive. Sci-Fi hypothesis". Maybe not quite fit the definition of "satire", but still pretty funny text (I warn you in advance, my English is not very good, so the translation is obtained with the Yandex-translation, if something is obviously wrong translated, then let the experienced comrades corrected)
Vitaly Tretyakov, at a conference in Berlin:
Theme: "What should be a Russia that its image in the European mass media has turned into a positive. Sci-Fi hypothesis".
Adoption of the 1st (and supported by others): the image of Russia in the European media for the most part negative.
Adoption of the 2nd (and with this many people would agree): images of almost all foreign countries in the Russian mass-media or just a positive or mostly positive.
Hypothesis: it is Impossible to ensure that the image of Russia in the majority of European countries (Western and some Eastern European) became positive.
I will try to prove this hypothesis by contradiction. What should Russia do to its image in the European media was positive? Apparently, something that will be seen positively by the European media.
After going through this list, which includes few tens of my points, but I'm limited to about a dozen.
1. Recognize that the Russian history is primarily a criminal and has a history of oppression of other peoples and countries.
2. Recognize that of all the existing empires in general quite good, the Russian Empire is the most disgusting, and the Soviet Union - the worst in human history.
3. Recognize that the best (not much better), which is in Russia, borrowed from the West, and the worst (which predominates) are the genetic characteristics and traits of the Russian people and Russia as a whole.
4. Recognize that Russia is subEurope, and the Russian people are subeuropeans. And in order for Russia to become a real Europe, and the Russians - real Europeans, they need a long time to learn from textbooks written in Europe, and always take exams European teachers. However, the chance of success is still very small.
5. Recognize that all the leaders of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and the Russian state in general are maniacs and criminals, and especially Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great, Catherine the Great, Lenin and Stalin. However, all the others are no better. The only exception is Mikhail Gorbachev.
6. Russia must be overthrown or send in the resignation of President Putin.
7. Recognize that in the Second World War the victory over Hitler won the armies of the US and the UK, some with the active participation of the French and the Poles. Soviet Russia was somewhere far away in the East of the battles with the Nazi troops, but those were local fighting.
8. Recognize that namely the Soviet Union conducted its first nuclear bomb foreign cities, but the Russians so cleverly hid the traces of this crime, that till now there is no possibility to find them. But sooner or later it will be done.
9. Russian Orthodox Church is one of the most reactionary religious associations in the world and it should be completely excluded from any participation in public and political life of Russia.
10. Recognize that the Comintern is certainly a criminal organization, which sought to establish the Communist regimes in many countries of the world. While the current exactly according to the methods of the Comintern Liberal international, establishing democratic regimes in many countries of the world, there is a civilized and very useful organization, the decisions of which must conform to the governments of all countries.
11. Gas to the countries of the European Union, Russia agrees to sell to the conditions of the European Union.
12. Russia should give up any of their own policies in the former Soviet space. All the more unacceptable protection of Russia the rights of Russians outside the Russian Federation.
13. In general, its domestic and foreign policy, Russia should negotiate with the EU and the U.S., but rather just be under their supervision and direction.
14. As the sins and crimes of conscience Russia a lot, then it would be good to take on and the crimes that she probably did not commit, as it will be nice to some other countries. For example, because many people in Poland would have been nice if Russia killed President Kaczynski, Russia could admit it - for the sake of European harmony and tranquility.
15. The Russians should not drink vodka but Georgian wine; released from prison Pussy rayot and and all the others, who say the West; regularly hold gay parades, to allow same-sex marriages, to make Siberia-European heritage (and so many more items). In general, it would be good to be the next president of Russia was gay.
So, pausing on this point, let's ask ourselves the question: if all of this, that wants from her "Europe" and the West, Russia will make is whether the image of Russia in the European media positive?
The obvious answer is: no! Because in this case will be quite clear that nothing more hideous and criminal on the European continent, than Russia, no.
My hypothesis is proved.
Thank you for your attention!
