Очень внимательно наблюдаю за происходящим с нами. С...

I am very attentively watching what is happening to us. With our society. I don't always write about this on the wall :) So. What is happening now in social thought can be called, let's say, a "neoconservative wave." And here is one of the aspects I wanted to consider. Namely, family values. In the performance of Mrs. Mizulina and K. On the one hand, everything is clear: these people have in their heads a common kind of ideal picture, not so much inherent in childhood, as formed in the process of transformation from an adult into an elderly person - well, how wonderful and amazing everything was during their youth. What strong families were, and how good it was in the Soviet Union. Thoughts are similar, in general, everyone is visited, probably, between the ages of 40 and 60. But the people who are in power and on TV drag everyone back, there to their ideal youth. All - both twenty and thirteen. And it seems to them that this family, which is a mother, a father, and three children, and everyone is happy, and the country is getting richer and growing in breadth and in number - that it should be so, because it has been so since ancient times. Let's start with this - figurines! Any student-archeologist and anthropologist will tell you that the family as a form changed, adjusting to the changing (and above all - economic) relations. This student will remember how he was screwed on the exam about promiscuity, matrilocal genus, how they put a two when he hinted at matriarchy. About how, together with the Neolithic revolution, the nuclear family began to crystallize. And if you look a little closer, in the same imperial, feudal Russia, various forms of the family coexisted, different in connection with the different position of social groups and strata. For serfs - a return to the "big family" as a reaction to a very difficult situation. And what hell could be going on in this "big family" is described by Engelhardt, Bunin, and many others. Engelhardt, however, considered such a family (when both mother and father and the married brothers live under the same roof) a prospect of development, but, alas, it was a rollback, a reaction to the terrible situation of the peasants. Was and quickly passed. And in no way could such a “large family” be equated with noble or philistine marriage unions. And this is only a hundred and fifty years ago. By the way, the situation is similar with the nation and nationalism. The adherents of the black-yellow-white flag think that they are the descendants of those Russians who went to Constantinople. They speak up for the purity of blood. Cough, cough, let's not disappoint them. So - the past, to which the supporters of modern neoconservatism appeal (they cannot be called supporters of imperialism, because they do not understand a damn thing about building empires and the logic of their life), it is not at all as beautiful, flat and monotonous as it seems to them. And now about their youth. About that ideal world into which they lead us. By the way, mind you, the communists led us forward to the victory of communism, and these people, if you look closely, lead us back to the Soviet Union. And how this ideal "Soviet Union" is combined in their heads with Orthodoxy - that only God knows. So further. The family as a social institution has always gradually changed and reacted to changes in the social structure. During their youth, which they now idealize, everything was not so smooth with the family. In the 60s and 70s, the divorce rate began to rise. Very, very fast. Then, and just then, a generation of infantile men was brought up. Raised and raised by heroic single mothers. And why? Yes, life has become better! The survival (in the broadest sense) of an incomplete family has become possible. And a lonely man too, by the way. The state has provided social guarantees. So much for the reaction. And the point is not the corruption of morals, for there is no generation that would not complain about the corruption of the customs of their descendants. And then Perestroika broke out. The union collapsed (itself, no one even poked a stick at it). And what do we see. In spite of the efforts of the same TV set, in spite of the alleged revelry and decline in morals, the family ... became stronger. Because life has become more difficult and responsibility has appeared! For yourself and your loved ones. A vulgar example, but what will happen if a mortgage for 25 years - plow and plow! From dawn to dusk. And if the divorce is a wagon trouble. This is, however, a very vivid example. But now it’s like that in everything - you don’t work, there’s no responsibility - welcome to the homeless! By the way, excuse me, but compared to the Soviet Union, we have become less drunk. I remember very well how you approach the store on Friday in the 70s, and there ... The Battle of Kulikovo, the Mamaevo massacre at the stage of completion. All lie in the ditches around. Try this now as you did then. The same bullshit with the family. Everyone is engaged, their children are taken to school, they are dragged to circles and sections, tutors are hired. My students can't always come to the club - so much study and so stress their parents and teachers. Why am I? Our dear deputies, you take a closer look at the society that you have. Although ... what am I saying ... Okay, the experience of America in the 30s tells us: this will pass, any neo-conservative wave will give birth to a generation of those who have values ​​in their throats. Nonconf
