During the discussion of the bill submitted to the State Duma on the burial of Lenin's body, State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin called criticism of the tsarist and Soviet periods in the history of Russia "attacks on the country." Again, Volodin himself speaks best for Volodin. Exhaustive.

“Considering that we are discussing a rather serious topic, let's proceed from the fact that the one who attacks the history of Russia before (19)17 attacks Russia, the one who attacks the history of the Soviet period, as Dmitry Georgievich (Novikov) spoke about, attacks Russia. But one cannot say that the one who attacks the history of the Soviet period attacks Russia, but at the same time, if he attacks the history of Russia before (19)17, that he is speaking the absolute truth.
Here, recognizing only our history, given that it is centuries old, millennial, then we will reach a consensus, which is why yesterday those deputies from United Russia, who were initially carried away by the initiative that you criticize, they withdrew their signatures, because they understood this wrong, you can't do it.
But there is also the position of the moral leader of United Russia, who has repeatedly spoken about this, so we must be guided by the position of the person who created the party. In this regard, you are right, but then let's look for consensus in relation to what we had before (19) 17, because Natalya Vladimirovna Poklonskaya, she will certainly not agree with you.

An endless series of pearls continues. But I really do not understand - what does it mean to "attack the history of Russia"? Does that mean you can't say anything critical about her? So it is necessary to black out hundreds, thousands of pages, where historians, both tsarist and then Soviet Russia, criticized the oprichnina, the cruelty of the Petrine reforms, Nikon and the church schism, immorality in the personal life of Catherine the Great, intolerance and extravagance of Paul I, indecision of Alexander I, cruelty and the doctrinairism of Nikolai Palkin, the half-heartedness of the reforms of Alexander II, the nationalism of Alexander III, the mediocrity of Nicholas II. I'm not talking, for example, about serfdom. And the same applies to the same Lenin-Stalin, the Gulag or the totalitarianism of the Soviet Union.
What kind of canoe? What kind of insanity? The further into the forest, the more bears. Do they themselves understand something, what they say, do they have at least some opinion of their own, except for the opinion of a "moral leader" (a new term, by the way)? Or just a refraction of what Putin will say? And then, depending on how he will be understood, taking into account the fact that V.V. most often speaks with big reservations. Hence, among other things, their tongue-tied tongue - all of a sudden they blurt out something wrong, not neatly.
In general, I understand how ridiculous my questions and my artificial pathos sound. But honestly, I CANNOT understand how it all happens there, how the brains work, how the psyche is arranged, in what “fireproof safe is the conscience hidden”? In short, all blah blah blah. I'm tired of writing about all this ...

PS
And all polls about Lenin are routine and meaningless. Including the next - to bury the leader of the world proletariat or not to bury? The question is significant, but rhetorical. For everyone understands - to bury. As well as the fact that the authorities will wait until the last ... communist, so as not to "split the country." Because by and large she doesn’t give a damn about Lenin or his grave. She would have “calmness” in her understanding and “stability”, again in her understanding. To not scare the fish.

Criticism of both the tsarist and the Soviet periods in the history of Russia are attacks on the country. This, according to TASS, was stated by State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin, commenting on the speech of the deputy from the Communist Party Dmitry Novikov, who condemned the authors of the earlier bill on the reburial of Vladimir Lenin.

“Given that we are discussing a very serious topic, let's proceed from the fact that the one who attacks the history of Russia before (19)17 attacks Russia, the one who attacks the history of the Soviet period, as Dmitry Georgievich (Novikov) spoke about, attacks Russia. But one cannot say that the one who attacks the history of the Soviet period attacks Russia, but at the same time, if he attacks the history of Russia before (19)17, that he is speaking the absolute truth, ”Volodin said.

“Considering that our history is centuries-old, millennial, we will reach a consensus, which is why yesterday those deputies from United Russia, who were initially carried away by the initiative that you criticize, they withdrew their signatures because they understood that this is wrong, this cannot be done. ", - said the chairman of the lower house of parliament.

The day before, State Duma deputies from the Liberal Democratic Party and United Russia submitted to parliament a bill amending the law On Burial and Funeral Business. United Russia later withdrew their signatures. In particular, the deputies provided for the creation of an interdepartmental commission that will deal with the issue of reburial of the remains of historical figures. We are talking about the leader of the Bolsheviks Vladimir Lenin, the legal grounds for the reburial of which are currently absent in the legal field.

Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov called the idea of ​​burying Lenin "the biggest provocation against Russian statehood", and the deputies who submitted the bill to the State Duma - "complete scoundrels." Zyuganov also urged the Security Council of the Russian Federation to pay attention to this bill. According to him, "guarantors should give a guarantee of stability in the country."

“The fact that the result brought such support to our president is, of course, an indicator that Russian citizens living in the United States, Great Britain, France understand that by making their choice to support Putin, they support Russia,” he said. head of the Duma.
