The departure of the life of Victor Topaller, one of the brightest Russian-speaking journalists in America, was without an understatement a shock for his readers and colleagues. Literally, until recently, Victor worked on new projects and wrote, including for our site. ForumDaily offers to recall the bright speakers 10 honest and sharp on the word master pen.

1. I didn’t want to talk about it at all. But probably should. Moreover, I get a lot of questions from different people from different countries. Therefore I answer. Immediately all. I warn you - I know not all. So it is rather personal feelings and observations.

So, after almost 18 years on RTVI, it was all over. I will limit myself to a dry summary of some facts and share the conviction that everything Moscow is stretching its paws to inevitably turns, as Voinovich wrote, into a “secondary product”.

2. I seem to understand what is one of the main reasons for hating Trump. The fact is that he is not asexual. Not clear right? Well, not sexless! He is a lively man, with character, with his quirks, whims and ponts. With a beautiful wife and a good girl. With a daughter - a princess. Always ready to respond to slander and insults. Demanding respect for yourself and your country. Confident. Impudent. Strong. Lord, how is it all unfashionable and inconstant!

3. Probably, I wouldn’t write these lines if I hadn’t accidentally stumbled upon the performance of an actress who had long been released in circulation, who, with her lips pursed in sorrow, was distressed about the unfortunate fate of Oleg Vidov. He, you see, was cut off from his homeland, from the roots, from his audience ... And so on. He wanted to cry. But I remembered in time the testimony of Vidov’s friend (and my friend) a wonderful actor. Ilya Baskin: Oleg could not tolerate Mother Russia, lived a happy life in the United States, did what he wanted, he had a wonderful home and a wonderful family. So I restrained myself, although, looking at the TV screen, it was not easy. Moreover, it seemed that died Oleg exclusively from longing for native birch trees. I even remembered the words of the inimitable Viktor Nekrasov: "It is better to die from longing for the Motherland than from hatred for her."

4. Around the Second World War, as well as around all historical events, a heap of lies, silly slogans and spells were heaped up. And the current shameful government has done everything to finally make Victory Day, to put it into service: the roar of orchestras, the rumble of tanks - the Strugatsky towers from the Inhabited Island are working at full power ...

We already know about the criminal conspiracy of Stalin and Hitler; know about secret agreements between the two fascist states; we know about millions of vain victims; know about betrayal and meanness; know about SMERSH; we know about the detachments who shot their own; we know about special persons - Soviet Gestapo men; we know about the Russian concentration camps, to which soldiers who had been freed from German concentration camps were sent straight; know about the wild atrocities of the Soviet invaders, who replaced the German; about mass murder, rape, looting.

Terrible, but the right words - the victory of Kolyma over Buchenwald. Pile of dirt, blood, lies ...

5. Just let us immediately agree: do not be offended at me, okay? I understand perfectly well that you are not to blame: you worked like damned, and you simply did not notice that the children were methodically brainwashed. First at school, then at university. And today they come to the parental house as sassy, ​​scornfully grinning young people, who, of course, are ashamed of the backward “sovok-parents”, mired in the depths of extremism and conservatism. But contempt and pity are not the only feelings - it also takes evil upon its ancestors: it’s because of people like this, Trump became president! They explained to us at the university what a woe it is!

Who explained? Favorite, unsinkable "red professorship", thanks to which young people and are confident that socialism is the same as capitalism, only for all and equally, and mad Sanders is the best candidate for a place in the White House ...

6. I'll start with a fragment that I wrote exactly a year ago - after trump's victory.

“Eight years of shame and shame behind. No one believed in this, but the pathological liar and the criminal did not manage to enter the White House and bring Obama's business of turning a great power into a garbage bin, which the enemies don’t trust and are not trusted by friends. America said no. Enough. Enough

There will be no illegal immigrants and "refugees"; there will be no final destruction of the health care system; there will be no vile and criminal agreement with Iran; there will be no betrayal of Israel; there will be no permanent bends in front of the Moscow gang and other global rabble; there will be no fall into the abominable abyss of socialism ... There will be no catastrophe for America and for the whole world. A lot of things will not be. We have experienced this heinous, contagious disease. I hope forever. I'm proud of my country. God Bless America».

What am I wrong? Yes, nothing! Despite the shameless, powerful opposition and slander, Trump moves forward like a tank, sweeping away anti-tank hedgehogs and barrage obstacles on the way.

7. I have a firm conviction that if a person watches the programs of Soloviev or Kiselev, then he himself is Soloviev. And Kiselev. And Gordon. A normal person (unless he is a masochist) because of one feeling of disgust will not look like shit. I just don’t need to tell me that “the enemy must be known in person” and “I’m just wondering to what degree of baseness and meanness ...”. Do not fool your head. And then you do not know these people. And the fact that baseness and meanness has no limits, you do not understand ... Watch and listen, if, as Kasparov said, you are not “zapadlo". Do not forget - the emphasis on the letter "o" ...

8. Exactly 85 years ago, 5 August 1932, the heart of my beloved Sasha Chernoy stopped beating. He died in a French village of a heart attack. He died on the day when he risked his life and saved children from the fire. He returned home after the fire, lay down and did not get up anymore ... A very revealing death for a wonderful poet, who all his life cretins accused of malice and hatred. At one time, he replied to these cretins: “He who is not deaf will hear himself, he will hear again and again that outraged love breathes under hatred ...”. Even in my youth, these lines pierced me, and Black’s brilliant verses have been with me all my life. I remember many years ago, when I entered the theatrical institute, I read his magnificent “Setting” ...

Today I want to share with you not his poems (which, I am sure, many people know and love), but brilliant prose. Short dialogue. It is written in 1924 year, but how modern! But really: fools - this is also the people. And most of them. And they want to live like pigs and fools. And if possible, they will slam us, so as not to get in the way and under our feet not to be confused ... Has something changed in a hundred years ?! While lying, that’s changed: women vote everywhere ...

9. To this has long gone. And it came. Stalin returns. And he could not go back. Such a time, such a country, such people ... Already no one is surprised by the appearance of monuments, memorial plaques dedicated to the most terrible monster of world history. I believe that none of the villains can "boast" of so many killed, such rivers of spilled blood. It makes no sense to list what this maniac and ogre created: it is well known. Mountains of books were written, films were made, memories were printed ... I don’t think that at least one person remained on our poor planet who has at least a couple of convolutions and basic knowledge who is ready to say a kind word to this killer and Jesuit. But we have to bitterly state that the number of scoundrels and idiots in Russia has long been going beyond all reasonable limits.

10. Anyone who has ever visited Jerusalem in the Yad Vashem Museum will never forget the almost mystical sensations of horror, when the mind refuses to accept the Holocaust as a reality. Anyone who has faded at least once with the whole country to the sound of the Siren of Memory will forever retain an amazing feeling of unity with pedestrians who have stopped, with drivers standing in front of their cars and pressing the signal, with boys and girls in military uniform. "Klaas's ash knocks on my heart."

The dream of the destruction of the Jews lives not only in the Islamic world. In Europe - the site of the Holocaust - anti-Semitism today is held in high esteem. Cemeteries are being desecrated, bottles are flying into synagogues, statesmen and wives are not ashamed of their clearly anti-Semitic statements, casually disguising them as anti-Israel.
