Subscribing to a newspaper is a special mentality. A special mentality or “a kind word and a gun. The best sambo wrestlers are policemen

Oksana Nikolaevskaya writes: On the question that there are some particularly law-abiding Norwegians (or Europeans spherical in a vacuum) who apparently have a Magic Chip inserted into their heads, making them all exceptionally pleasant people of the Noon, 22nd century.
Fig. Of course, I don't dispute the importance of mentality. But. With a kind word and a gun you can achieve a lot more than just kind words.
This is not far from our house.

This is a highway exit for city buses only.
Sort of like a shortcut. You can also get onto the same highway by car, but it’s a bit of a detour.
So here it is. To prevent cunning Norwegians and guests of the capital from hitting the bus in the forehead, a bear trap has been placed there. That is, first a kind word is a warning sign. Then, around the bend, a sign “slow down, idiot!” And then, in fact, a trap.

There is a ditch in the middle of the road, which is clearly designed for the width of the wheelbase of a city bus, but is impassable for any other vehicle. And not just a ditch, but an undercut ditch - with a ridge in the middle, see?

"Love Russia honestly"

Weep, people who have God in their hearts,
And the Tsar Bell rings with mournful alarm,
They hunted down and ruined their own scientists,
They are fleeing Russia in a long column.
God knows, I’m not a hypocrite - I don’t know how to lie,
The best brothers run away, feet in hand.
And the new Russian is held in high esteem, which is a joy to troubles
I gave a Bugatti to my son along with a Samoyed.
There is no command from the management, it doesn’t wobble steeply,
He moved two students, apparently the devil misled them.
The blood of the sons of Russia flows from the womb,
And the fire was quickly extinguished with green rain.
The presidents promised mountains of gold:
"Don't give up, prodigies, on the Russian expanses!"
The cunning West lures personnel into its networks,
He doesn’t need dancers and bards for nothing,
Offers a place in universities, assistance in the form of grants -
Our planes will become the work of amateurs,
They will land less often. Let them not take off!
Let living passengers scold the white light!
The new master is fornicating with a sinful virgin in Courchevel,
But talent barely makes ends meet...

To the extent of funeral money issued by the authorities,
The murdered will be stabbed to death with rusty nails
They will be taken in a hearse to a forgotten churchyard,
Unworthy of the new Russians, fallen or killed,
The drunk neighbor will say something not to the point,
The black raven will shake his head dejectedly...
What's happened? Or maybe we are blind puppies?
This is not the first time that Russian geniuses have descended into the ground.
Maybe everyone should abandon the capital and go to the forests
To fraternize with a wild animal in the thicket.
How long will the redneck continue, Father Abba,
Where is citizenship in Russia, good Uncle Savva?
To Bolotnaya* with the whole world - a glorious settlement,
Let's win back the honor and pride of the Russian people!

*Not a revolution - they passed!!!

Hello poet historian. I've been reading, Nikolina, I haven't visited for a long time. The soul is out of place from everything that is happening, and what awaits us next, apparently, God knows. Just today I watched some political program, where the TV presenter commented on the speech of an American (I don’t remember his last name). I haven’t heard anything good or encouraging - wars, according to the American, are natural at any time, and the human mind, according to him, does not play any role... These are the pies... We will live as they say: war will show the plan. With warmth.

Nina, thank you. I want to say that everything thinking people in a trance, they don’t know what will happen next due to the madness of American politicians, stupid and greedy. The Americans themselves are hard workers, but due to closed propaganda they are in the dark.

The daily audience of the portal Stikhi.ru is about 200 thousand visitors, who total amount view more than two million pages according to the traffic counter, which is located to the right of this text. Each column contains two numbers: the number of views and the number of visitors.

Somehow, a friend of mine from Russia became interested in my words that we, Russians living in Kazakhstan, have a different mentality. In continuation of our conversation with him, I will try to explain this solely from my point of view, as a person who was born and raised in Russia, but has been living in Kazakhstan for more than 25 years.

Upon arrival, my first a vivid impression there was Kazakh tea, with milk, which my husband and I were treated to by his childhood friends. It was very tasty, but they poured it into the bowl almost to the bottom, and I quietly asked my husband if they were sorry? It turned out that this is customary, this is a sign of respect for the guest, hot water is added more often, the conversation lasts longer. It seems like a simple thing, but if I then asked the owner to pour more, he would regard it as my desire to leave quickly and would be offended. It is in such nuances that one realizes that all people are seemingly the same, but in some ways very different, each with their own culture, worldview, and traditions. And your respectful attitude towards someone else’s mentality, even if different from yours, causes a respectful attitude towards you.

When Muslims in Moscow celebrated Kurban Bayram, the Internet was simply bursting with indignant and sarcastic cries - what the Russian capital had become, the invasion of Muslims, good people stand up. And in Almaty every year, on Parents’ Day, traffic for private transport in the area of cemeteries is blocked and additional buses are allocated, because Christians on this day come in a continuous stream of thousands to remember their loved ones. And this doesn’t bother or outrage anyone. And even at work, both in government agencies and in private companies, there is an unspoken rule to release those who need it from work on this day.

And even though Kazakhstan is a secular state, but two days a year - Orthodox Christmas and Muslim Eid al-Adha are officially declared holidays. And my Muslim friends congratulate me, and I, a Christian, congratulate them from the bottom of my heart. And together we celebrate New Year, Victory Day and our other common holidays. And I believe that this is normal, this is how it should be in a multinational society that does not divide its citizens into friends and foes.

There is a lot of talk now about the federalization of Ukraine. Undoubtedly, government system Each state is its own business. But I would like to give an example of Kazakhstan, unitary state, which is home to 17 million people of more than 120 nationalities. Think about 120 peoples with different mentalities, boiling in one pot. What helps to avoid conflicts in such a large communal kitchen?

I am not a great sociologist or political scientist, an ordinary woman, however, having lived in many regions of the former Union, I can conclude that mono-ethnic societies are more closed; an unfamiliar way of life is perceived with difficulty, as something alien and potentially dangerous. In a multinational society, someone else's way of life is perceived naturally and does not cause aggression.

I live in a house where one of my neighbors is Kazakh, the second is Ukrainian, the third is Armenian, above is a Korean, below are Tatars. And we live normally, without swearing and hostility. We congratulate each other on the holidays, we rejoice if there is an addition to the family, and we are sad if there is a decrease. Our children went to the same schools, were friends, two from our building even got married. Now the children are grown up and working, but even where they work, a multinational team and a person are judged not by the shape of their eyes, but by their knowledge and skills.

And it would be a huge tactlessness on my part not to say sincere word thanks to the owner of this big house. This is the ancestral land of the Kazakhs, a people who for several centuries have been and remain true friend, who in moments of hard times always offered his shoulder, shared bread and shelter, and in Time of Troubles change said - stay, this is your home, there is enough room for everyone, the main thing is that there is peace and harmony. And this is worth a lot and this must be understood.

Therefore, I would like to dwell separately on the topic of the state language, since in Ukraine, for example, it has simply become a stumbling block. Kazakhstan has one state language – Kazakh. I believe that this is how it should be in a sovereign state, the state-forming nation of which determines the state language. But since it so happened historically that the Russian language is the language of interethnic communication, then it has remained so.

The President sets the tone, always speaking in two languages. Yes, in government agencies, office work, as expected, is conducted in Kazakh, but is duplicated in Russian. At the same time, conditions are created for civil servants to study the state language if they wish in free courses during working hours.

IN Everyday life I don’t experience any problems - the inscriptions are in Kazakh and Russian, both on medical descriptions of medicines and on descriptions of the composition of products in the store. News on TV is in Kazakh and Russian, there are separate channels purely in Kazakh and purely in Russian, and there are mixed ones. Just like schools, there are those teaching in Kazakh, but Russian in the curriculum, and vice versa, teaching in Russian, but Kazakh is mandatory. In any government agency I address the Kazakh manager in Russian and also receive an answer in Russian. And it’s completely normal that a Kazakh guy gives up his seat to me on the bus, addressing me in Russian, and I thank him in Kazakh.

I am not trying to idealize the society and country that has become near and dear to me. There are, of course, some unsightly moments. For example, there was a case when one of the officials insulted a flight attendant on the internal line because she did not respond to his question due to ignorance of the Kazakh language. This case caused a great resonance in the press and in the treasury. But, having shouted a lot about the topic of whether the flight attendant should or should not have known the state language, nevertheless, for the most part, our people condemned the rudeness and bureaucratic arrogance.

As elsewhere, there is a big problem with employment in small towns, villages and villages. Life is in full swing in big cities; in small cities, basically the entire working-age population goes to work in big cities. Contrast between modern city, full of sparkling lights of supermarkets and expensive foreign cars, and a small village that sometimes plunges into complete darkness at nightfall, is of course striking, hence a certain social tension. It happens that in a crush public transport, unable to cope with the growing population of the metropolis, conflicts break out on the topic of “we’ve come in large numbers here” on both sides, but as a rule, they are quickly suppressed by the sensible part of the public of all nationalities. By the way, I almost never hear swearing either in transport or in in public places, this is also condemned and immediately stopped.

… There are crowded buses, electric trains, the trains of our lives, in which we all crowd, stepping on each other’s feet. And it seems to me that only by respecting and striving to understand each other, we can coexist normally and calmly in our one big house called Earth. Everyone is so different and so everyone is the same in their desire to simply live, love, raise children, work and relax, go to visit...

This is the secret of our special, Kazakhstani, mentality.

On a cold autumn day, a mobile team from the social rehabilitation center “Harmony”, together with subjects of prevention and the editor on social and legal issues of the newspaper “Blagadennenskie Vesti”, went to the village of Spasskoy on a complaint received from a local school about improper performance of the responsibility for raising minor children in large family. It was found that the parents are well known to the staff of the Harmony social rehabilitation center, because S.’s family is registered with the commission for minors’ affairs and protection of their rights by the Blagodarnensky municipal administration as a family in a socially dangerous situation.

Not only employees of the social rehabilitation center "Harmony", but also members of the social patrol of the Blagodarnensky district with representatives of the prosecutor's office visited S.'s spouses several times. The father does not work, periodically abuses alcohol, refuses to be treated by a narcologist, behaves very aggressively when drunk, and has two criminal records. The mother was also given a suspended sentence twice: for theft and for causing stab wounds to your friend. The family's only income is child benefits. IN this moment The family has four children aged from 1.7 months to 6 years. IN kindergarten they practically do not walk, everyone has an obvious delay speech development, but the eldest boy will soon go to school.

In relation to the fifth disabled child, the spouses have been deprived of parental rights; he is now in the Stavropol specialized children's home for children with organic lesions of the central nervous system and mental disorders. The boy underwent the necessary operation, was granted disability, and now the negligent parents, who had never even visited the baby before, are demanding his return in order to receive benefits.

We have a lot of such families; according to statistics, today there are 19 in the KDN and ZP ABMR in the Blagodarnensky district. And, as a rule, all of them have children whose specialists note delayed speech development, total underdevelopment of mental functions, and an affectively unstable type. In the future, it is very difficult for children to study in school with these problems and, as the rules are, they are sent to the Center for Medical Education and Training, a conclusion is issued and recommendations for training according to the adapted basic general education program for children with mental retardation. Children from such families must attend preschool institutions, they should study as a speech therapist, which is what the center’s specialists recommend to their parents, but, of course, no one follows these recommendations.

The task of the center’s specialists, working according to the principles of interdepartmental interaction, is to join forces and try to rectify the situation before the marshy swamp into which the life of the parents has turned completely swallows them up, until the history of S.’s family repeats itself in a new generation...
