Who is your hero, Russian?
While the media and social networks were broadcasting about liars and dolls, real people in Russia performed great deeds - those that are best characterized by Tolstoy’s epithet “everyday feat.”
In Buryatia, a man went to the regional center to buy groceries, and when he returned, he got off at the wrong stop, lost his way, got stuck without communication in the cold, in the forest - and began to die. The wife rang the bells and called for help. Local police officer Alexander Agafonov came to save the situation. Abandoning the car so as not to get stuck in the snow, he went into the forest on foot, within a few hours he found the man, after which - attention! – carried him for one and a half kilometers. On myself, in the snow, one and a half kilometers. “There was no other way out, the victim needed urgent hospitalization,” said Agafonov. And he reported and saved the man.
How many such stories do you know? Do they often tell you about them? I doubt. Rather, they will slip in another disgusting horror story about corrupt police officers. And in prime time they will show rancid Malakhovo-Borisov rubbish about how, for example, a son-in-law knocked up his mother-in-law. Or they will establish paternity through DNA. There is enough of this evil in the media. And, of course, there are endless herds of celebrities grazing there, teaching life as bestiality.
Everything according to Limonov - his thought from “Disciplinary Sanatorium” (excellent book!): “Genuine heroes will be replaced by “olds”, “superstars” and even “megastars.” Exactly. And this was done in order to deprive a person of impulse, of confidence that he can do more and better than just be meat in an office chair, pressing buttons on zombifying social networks.
Yes, we need true examples of great asceticism and feat - for without them the aspirations of a country, a nation, a person are impossible. Moreover, these heroes exist - and there are a great many of them. They are among us. They are real people. You just have to talk about them first, and then remember them.
And here's what else. Alexander Agafonov accomplished his everyday feat on the day when the media and social networks were trumpeting about a completely different person who had arrived in Moscow. About a person whose name I don’t want to smear this text with. So, looking at two - Agafonov and the other - I personally understand which of them is the real hero, and which of them the country really rests on.
