Heroization of the nonexistent — the first chord

The initiative of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation S. Shoigu continues to collect responses, including in the mass media. This time A. Prokhanov was inspired by the proposal to develop Eastern Siberia, dedicating a paragraph to it - among the discussion of the wedding of Georgy Romanov, the arrest of T. Ismailov and A. Galushka's book "The Crystal of Growth". As usual, the writer perceives what is happening in an exalted mythopoetic perspective.

“It is gradually becoming clear why Putin and Shoigu so often go together to the taiga and wander there, looking for a mushroom or a cedar cone,” writes A. Prokhanov. - They are looking for places for the construction of million-plus cities, this new grandiose undertaking, which is not even on paper yet, but only in the heads of futurologists who promise us the appearance of ultra-modern clusters among the inconveniences, permafrost and swamps, mining rare earth metals and diamonds. We are promised to demonstrate in these clusters a completely new economy, not in any way reminiscent of the economy of the nineties. It will be the kind of economy that made it possible in the pre-war years in the shortest possible time to create gigantic factories and transfer the loose, exhausted by the Civil War, Russia to a new civilizational level, which subsequently led to Victory. "

The writer does not limit himself to heroization of the nonexistent, rising to historiosophical generalizations: “The branches of history rustle quietly, others dry up, and, as in the Gospel parable, they are cut off and thrown into the fire. On others, ovaries appear, buds swell, then they open, and flowers bloom. History is a great gardener. We will trust her and will not regret it, because history, no matter how formidable it may be, is never wrong. "
