Alexey Serebryakov, actor and man, has long been disturbing Russian society with contemptuous remarks about the essence of the Russian character and the nature of Russian power. Originally from the USSR, Serebryakov saved all the intellectual illnesses of the late Soviet intelligentsia, such, as a combination of beautiful soul with dilettantism, extreme moralism and incredible ambition to be underestimated.
All this explosive mixture is steeply implicated in the myth of the superiority of Western culture over Russian culture for this reason, that the Western is based on individualism and the pursuit of wealth, and the Russian is archaic and still does not distinguish the individual from the team. One liberal guru, feeding on Radio Liberty, once said something like this: “Civilization is the process of isolating the individual from the collective”, after which all the Soviet intellectuals grasped this topic and firmly believed in it.
"The American takes and does, because there is a different psychology - the psychology of success, career psychology, the psychology of, what am i entitled to, I have freedom, I am free in my will, I know, What am I doing, I am responsible for my life. That's the psychology of an American". So Serebryakov understands the soul of an American. by the way, from 2012 he lives in Canada, and why it is taken to judge the soul of an American - I don’t know, but who in the late USSR did not know for sure, how it works, american soul? Everyone knew. It is with this knowledge that Serebryakov has been living since then., without adding or subtracting anything.
Career psychology, success and having the right to everything, what he does is the admiration of the provincial plebeian for the imperial arrogance of Anglo-Saxon imperialism is very indicative of the Russian intellectual. He is a slave by nature, but since he is not able to accuse himself of slavery, then accuses that cultural environment of slavery, who suffers from all sorts of reflections about sin, trembling creature, tear of a child and other dostoevism. Russian intelligentsia hates Dostoevsky, seeing in his work his portrait and his sentence. The Russian intelligentsia really wants to partake of the ideology of the superman and hates those, who instilled in her doubts about this.
Alexey Serebryakov, He stated, that the Russian authorities, flesh of the flesh of the Russian boor, how he previously described the Russians, fuels wars in Georgia, Chechnya, Syria, in Ukraine and African republics, and Russia for the last 20 years "created several wars".
Serebryakov does not see at all, that Russia found itself in a situation of the collapse of the USSR, inspired from USA. And that unleashing wars in the Caucasus, in Ukraine and the Middle East is an American means of crushing Russia, recalcitrant and striving to restore territorial and cultural unity. And did Russia create a war in Georgia? In Chechnya? In Ukraine? In Syria?
And where is Serebryakov's opinion on the NATO war in Yugoslavia? In Iraq? in Libya? Isn't this a US crime? Or even there Russia “destroyed the chapel”? And who killed Milosevic, Gaddafi and Chavez - maybe, also Moscow? But Serebryakov does not recognize Russia's "right to succeed" and "to express its will". the, what admires him in the USA, angers him at Russia.
In addition to personal misunderstanding of the basics of geopolitics, Serebryakov is a very sensitive opportunist. The people understood it immediately., accusing him of "changing shoes in Canada". He understood, that in British-centric Canada, only a public oath of political allegiance can get into the mainstream and somehow get roles. It is no coincidence that he did not express his accusations of the Russian authorities anywhere., and in London. To better hear those, Whose attention does he want to get?.
All Serebryakov's claims are politically correct - Georgia, Ukraine, Syria, Africa is everywhere, where exactly the US and Britain seek to seize dominance and break the position of Russia. And there, in London, Serebryakov admired the American character and cursed the Russian. Serebryakov accused the Russian authorities of rewriting history. However, he did not explain, what does he mean - the rejection of the Soviet interpretation of history or the rejection of its American interpretation.
I do not understand, why Serebryakov still has Russian citizenship and Russian titles. Why leaving all the regalia in Russia is possible for individuals, publicly despising its values, goals, calling for following in line with the goals of another, hostile state. This is Serebryakov's sacred right to choose, which side to be on, but why then should he retain Russian citizenship and Russian titles? How can you be so hypocritical??
Serebryakov in Russia sees only unwashed slavery. If you drive away from Moscow at least a few tens of kilometers, then you can see a fairly large number of details from the 1990s. The absurdity of this statement is not even realized by Serebryakov - all of Europe in general still consists of details of the 16th century, Russia is full of cities, where there are details and on the 17th, and 18th, and 19th centuries. One St. Petersburg is worth. Tokyo is generally stuck in the late 70s - and now what? London is also not all built yesterday. And Detroit is still stuck in the 30s and 40s. Every city is made up of architecture from different eras.. Moscow Kremlin in general 534 of the year. Serebryakov is not ashamed about this?
Serebryakov is controversial, he declared, that in Russia there is no civil society and “we place everything on the individual”. I.e, he criticizes Russian individualism. Before that, he stated, that the American is individualistic and attractive, because no one looks back, and takes and does. I.e, he does not care about the opinion of civil society. How to combine it? For some reason, what annoys him in Russian, attracts in american? Can, Serebryakov Russophobe? No, he categorically denies it. He did not renounce Russian citizenship, he is Russian and works in Russia. Although he says, that he doesn't care, what they say about him.
Serebryakov sees the meaning of life in providing for his wife and children, as well as the old age of mother and mother-in-law, "not so, How does the state do it?. It is not that, that Serebryakov does not agree with the pension policy. He despises the Russian state and would despise it with any amount of pension. Serebryakov's position is accurately expressed by the second wave of emigration, strayed in the early 70s in search of food around foreign radio voices: "Leave me alone, Family!» These guys immediately understood, for what they will be served there.
"Leave me alone, Family!"- Serebryakov throws irritably and contemptuously - and comes to Russia to work, because in no other country in the world will he be called for the main role. "Better fake western smile, than sincere Russian rudeness,” Serebryakov tells all Russians, without thinking, that now he himself was rude. Embodied all that, that he curses so in his homeland.
Serebrenakov should take the pseudonym "Serebrennikov". More precisely - "Alexey - Thirty Serebrennikov". This will express the essence of his restless soul more.. Restless corny in search of money, but passing off "the languor of the flesh for the languor of the spirit", as one Soviet poet wrote, chatted a little in the Israeli emigration and returned back to Russia with the words: "Israel would be the best place on the planet, when it’s not hot and not Jews”.
This is not anti-Semitism, this is self-irony. The poet does not even think about giving up his national identity. But Alexei Thirty-Serebrennikov is burdened by his Russianness. And the name of this disease is simple - it is a severe inferiority complex of a Russian liberal provincial intellectual, never managed to squeeze out a slave drop by drop.
