The city undressed by a stone.
The city undressed by a stone.
In the second capital predjubilejnyj year use to the full extent.
Petersburg was covered predjubilejnaja with a fever: before the 300 anniversary
Cities there was all a year. Streets are blocked and dug over, houses in
Woods, local authorities it is unhealthy it is anxious: for remained time
It is necessary to have time to take all possible from the moment. In soap and nerves
Holiday scenarios (it is already decided, that its main part are created
Will pass on water), are erected new architecturally-art
Constructions, storm scandals. One of the last - comical
"Dismantling" of deputies of city Legislative Assembly and
Officials Smolnogo with virtual character Masjanej.
The main heroine of the animated cartoon created by the Petersburg artist
Oleg Kuvayev and on the sly becoming as now are expressed,
Cult (on a site every day come 30 thousand visitors), in
The next series conducts "Excursion across Petersburg". Solid people from
Parties of the governor, having listened to this excursion, have solved, first,
That Masjanja - the paid agent of plenipotentiary Cherkesova, and secondly,
That it would be necessary to involve it in court for tasty speeches, what it in
Virtual space to itself allows, conducting excursion on
To the started, dirty city.
But that's just the point, that each word Masjani, as
Regrettably, the naked truth. And business not only that the cultural
The capital does not have not enough urns, public toilets, yard keepers, and
City dumps and dustbins to mind are incomprehensible. Masjanja zrit in a root
(Not without reason on the heads so the cap) has ignited: the coming
- and it it is necessary to recognise anniversary with animal gravity -
Prepares mainly as the front external concerning only
The parties of a city life, as if the next celebration of the Soviet
The authorities.
Despite two long lists - "Prime city
The objects which are subject to realisation in 2001 - 2003 "and" the General
The list of the federal objects demanding restoration,
Reconstruction and completions to the 300 anniversary of St.-Petersburg for the bill
Means of the federal budget ", - in St. Petersburg a dirt
Impassable, roads - as after bombardment, blokadniki still
Die in communal flats, which in a city - hundred thousand.
Thus on the sly the 300 anniversaries arise the unknown
Architecturally-art initiatives. Anybody (and first of all
The main architect with the main artist of a city) will not explain,
What for ensemble of the area of Arts have spoilt ugly
Concrete stumps of columns on its four corners. To see,
Monferran, Voronihin, Kvarengi, perfectly understanding, that the such
Harmony of proportions, at present any more in authority, at them
The representations about the perfect.
According to them on Manezhnoj where promised Gogol,
Have for some reason planted doubtful external advantages Turgeneva.
Really it is not enough Ostapa on Italian (such Ilfu and to Petrov
And in a terrible dream has not dreamt also the Policeman on Small Posadsky?
And still were going to to erect (and money, of course, will find) a monument
"To the genius of Petersburg". But what for it obronzovljat, the genius this most,
And who can tell, what does he look like?! Is better to solve a question with
Two collapsing buildings on the Neva prospectus, bashfully
Covered with publicity boards, and also with an enormous foundation ditch,
Dug Russian Open Society VSM in the heart of Petersburg near Moscow
Station and christened "the most expensive hole in the world". Otherwise the best
Monument to anniversary will be won fights with image of a city... IZM
(A careerism, lobbyism, idiocy - to choose any).
Now about means. Though Victor Cherkesov also has declared, that on
Anniversary it will be spent from 30 to 40 billion roubles, how much
In total money it will be really released as a result, not clearly. Their volume and
Fluidity are outright connected with system developed (partly
Spontaneously) priorities. Lobbyists-heavyweights participate in sharing -
Like Valery Gergiev whom high offices and consequently are opened
It is easier to pull a budgetary blanket on itself (and, for example, on
Architect Moss). The rest will be absorbed by a ring motorway,
Which guzzles money, as gasoline, and the dam which has already changed all
Ecology of gulf of Finland. Is still "candle zavodik"
(Belonging as slander, to the spouse of the governor), that covers
Stone tile separate central arteries of a city and it
The selected places on which VIP-feet go. Under this stone,
Speak, and hopes of townspeople are buried to find to the 300 anniversary
Worthy life in pure court yard and entrances, with burning light,
Moving lifts, normal transport.
In lists of anniversary objects of that only is not present - from hospitals to
The tennis centres, from boiler-houses to hotels, from Conservatory to
Botanical garden. Is such to which the help was necessary still
Yesterday and which will be rescued thanks to the 300 anniversary. Among them -
The glorified Alexandria pillar and not only it. A stock exchange and
Petropavlovka in woods, klodtovskie horsies on Anichkovom to the bridge and
Rostral columns "are cured" by means of Petersburg banks, shine
Fresh paint some houses... And everything where look for
Smart facade, for a village fence potemkinskoj villages, soul
stradanem by the city it becomes wounded. And necessarily you will understand: entering
In celebratory year, our authorities could not be released from the heavy
Past heritages - the Russian mentality. It also dictates
The present logic of anniversary: it is not so much in interests of spirit of a city and it
Inhabitants, how much - letters of the highest decree.
