About hegemony of mass media, about cinema.
SIMILAR, that messages of mass-media concern not real events,
Event in a concrete point, and to not which virtual reality,
Created by mass-media. Judge. How much was noise last year, when
Americans bombed Iraq. And now? Day does not pass, that Americans
Something there have not destroyed by bombing. But at the press a new entertainment - Yugoslavia. Soon
And it will bother, there will be something brand new.
By the way, about Yugoslavia. Often I happen abroad and in hotel, naturally,
I look not NTV and ORT, and CNN and BBC. And such there is an impression, that
Our and western correspondents work on different planets. Westerners
Show entirely unfortunate Albanian refugees, ours - same
The unfortunate destroyed by bombing Serbs. I do not think, that mass-media meaningly lie, simply
Their problem includes not reality reflexion, and creation internally
Consistent virtual picture.
And after all wars and violence are not limited by the Balkans. But mass-media react absolutely
On Majakovsky: "What is this geographical news?" And not because that
Either other country or the people so are close to hearts of politicians and journalists.
Simply demand dictates the offer and defines character and the goods price. In
The given case - newspaper and telenews. Also it turns out, that we enter not
During an epoch of hegemony of superstates, and during an epoch of the total power of media empires,
Which make the goods, and form the consumer which is ready this
The goods to swallow.

My letter, probably, looks overdue. But Nikita's premiere of the film
"The Siberian barber" I, unfortunately, have passed Mikhalkov. Also it was pulled out in
Cinema more recently. It would be desirable to arrange a holiday to itself and my pupils (I
The teacher of English language). I will not say that I was shaken by the price
On tickets. Probably, the good cinema of the expensive costs. But why I and my children
The mad sums should pay to look the banal Hollywood
Fairy tale. Though removed rather beautifully - it at Mikhalkov you will not take away. But
The main thing not in it. When I look the Hollywood films, at me does not arise
Questions neither to plots, nor to a way of giving of historical events. Hollywood
There is Hollywood. To Mikhalkov's film questions are. When the person simply
Earns money, I can understand. But Mikhalkov obviously applies for the right in
Next time to specify to us in our negligibility: here supposedly in the old kind
Russia (which we, certainly, have lost) in English freely
Jailers, and you what talked even? It is very instructive. But this Russia,
In my opinion, director Mikhalkov has lost only. I will afford too a little
To stick the author of cinema with a nose into the historical truth.
Sergey Volkov has written the book "Russian officer case" which left in
1993. And there it is told, that to English language in Russia did not learn in
Military schools, neither in military grammar schools, nor in special military men
Schools. English there were no in the program even the most prestigious junkerskih
Schools. French and German - yes. If wardens in a film
Spoke in French, I, maybe, and would not have not enough determination
To study all tables resulted in this book. English, of course,
Some well-founded parents taught to children. However the phenomenon
It was not mass, and well-founded parents - and those, and during our times -
Hardly would bless the child on nadziratelsky work in places not so
Kept away. Besides, in military institutions a good few of pupils
Children-orphans, and pomestnye noblemen from whom occurred made
The majority of officers, frequently had no means even on, that
To equip the child and to send in road. It is a pity, that the author of the scenario for
The beginnings simply was not curious, that from itself represented actually
Russian officer.
