Abantu baseRussia abazizo ii-Amoral, sinendlela yokuziphatha eyahlukileyo

Ngomhla wama-22 kuDisemba. Ijenali yeWall Street yapapasha inqaku elicaphukisayo Ukuhlangana ngeKrisimesi noMoya waseRussia, ebhalwe yindoda emhlophe eneminyaka engama-70 ubudala yaseMelika epapashe iincwadi ezininzi ngokunyuka nokuwa kweSoviet Union. Uqale ngokuthi kungabonakala ngathi amaMelika awananto ingako afanayo nabo bahlala phantsi kolawulo lobuzwilakhe lukaVladimir Putin, kodwa yena, njengomlandisi onobubele wekhathuni yeKrisimesi, unebali analo, njengomntu obone uloyiso yokulunga ngaphezu kobubi eRashiya amaxesha amaninzi.

Sele eli nqaku liyingxaki. Okokuqala, kufuneka sinqande ukusebenzisa amagama anje ngomphefumlo waseRussia. Iqinisa umbono wokuba ukusebenza okungaphakathi komoya kwesiRashiya ngokusisiseko kwaye, okona kubaluleke kakhulu, kwahluke ngokungaqondakaliyo, kokunye nawuphi na umntu. Ukuba abantu baseRussia abayikhathaleli nje uthando, boyika ukufa, yiya ejimini kwaye uzinkcinkce ngokubukela ii-opera njengabanye abantu abakwiplanethi. Kukho into engaqhelekanga ngala maRussia, into esingasokuze siyiqonde kuba bahlukile umphefumlo . Kumntu onjengam, owazalelwa eRashiya, yenza kubonakale ngathi ubungcali bakho kweli lizwe nakubantu balo busekwe kwiincwadi ozifundayo kwisitulo esitofotofo, esinesihlalo sokufunda, kwaye nokuba unganomdla ongafanelekanga kuDostoevsky.

Kukho isigwebo sekhathuni sobumnandi bokulunga phezu kobubi, eli binzana lobuntwana elikwintsomi okanye intsomi, hayi isincoko esizama ukungxenga umoya wesizwe siphela. Kwaye, ewe, ukwenziwa ngokubanzi kwabo bonke abantu abaphila phantsi kolawulo lobuzwilakhe lukaVladimir Putin, ngokungathi base-Orcs phantsi kwesandla sikaSaruman INkosi yeeRingi , hayi i-144.3 yezigidi zabantu ezibandakanya amaqela e-185, onke aneemvelaphi neenkolelo ezahlukeneyo.

Umbhali uqhubeke nebali lakhe lokuziphatha ngokuseta imeko. YayiyiRashiya ngowe-1992, xa ukunyuka kwamaxabiso kwangena kwelo lizwe kuxinzelelo lwezoqoqosho (phakathi ku-1993, phakathi kwama-39 eepesenti nama-49 epesenti yabemi babehlala kwintlupheko, kwathi ngo-1999, inani labemi lehla ngesiqingatha sesithathu sabantu ). Upeyinta umfanekiso weMoscow ebanda kabuhlungu neyayijike yaba yindawo enkulu yokuthengisa abantu xa bethengisa nantoni na — izixhobo zasekhitshini, itshungama, iisigarethi, iincwadi, imifanekiso yonqulo, izidlalifa — ukuze baphile.

Wayonwabe kakhulu ziifowuni ezintsha zikawonke-wonke ezazisebenzisa amakhadi ahlawulelwa kwangaphambili, awathi kuphela umntu waseMelika ongaphandle kokuthinta, kule mozulu imbi, ayibone njengophawu lwenkqubela phambili. Emva kokwenza umnxeba kule harbinger yentsimbi yobungxowankulu, washiya isipaji sakhe kuyo, wathi ekubuyeni kwakhe, wayifumana ihambile.

Kwiintsuku ezimbini kamva, wafumana umnxeba ovela kwindoda egama linguYuri, eyathi yafumana isipaji sombhali yaza yacela ukuza kwindlu yayo ukuze kuxoxwe ngengxaki yayo. Ngokuqinisekileyo, U-Yuri wayenxibe umnqwazi omnyama kwaye elungisa i-witch yakhe, amadevu amnyama Ngelixa esenza lo mnxeba kwifowuni yakhe yesathelayithi.

Umbhali ucacisile ukuba u-Yuri wayehlala kwihlomela-dolophu laseMoscow okwenzeka ukuba ibe likomkhulu leqela lemigulukudu, imbali eyayibekelwe bucala engakhange isebenze ngaphandle kokubonisa umfundi uloyiko olungeyomfuneko.

U-Yuri, njengoko kwafumaniseka, wayengumntu olungileyo, kodwa ngobuqili kwaye, efundisa, esilela ngokupheleleyo kwimigaqo esisiseko. U-Yuri uthe wadlula ezinkathazweni ezininzi ezama ukumfumana, kwaye waphulukana nomvuzo weentsuku ezimbini ngenxa yoko.

Ngokucacileyo, le nto yayiyinto epheleleyo. Kodwa ngubani okhathalayo? Ukugweba uYuri ngokuxoka ukuze athengise imali encinci kumphambukeli osisityebi kwakufana nokugweba i-urchins zase-Indiya ngokuzenza ngathi ukhalela ikreyiti yamaqanda aqhekeziweyo ukuze ufumane utshintsho kwi-billionaire yalapha. Abantu abazenzi izinto ezinjalo ngaphandle kokuba banqwenela, kwaye imfesane encinci ilungile, hayi isifundo se-jingoistic.

Umbhali, ethandabuza, wamnika iiruble ezingama-50 000 (ngexabiso elisemthethweni lokutshintshiselana ngelo xesha, yayiyi- $ 120).

U-Yuri wenze nantoni na enokuthi yenziwe nangubani na kwimeko yakhe, eyayizama ukufumana imali ethe kratya kwindoda ebonakala ngathi ingene kuyo. Amaqhinga obu buchule ahluka ngokwenkcubeko nganye. Kweminye, umntu unokuba notyekelo lokulila kumzamo wokubeka ityala umntu lowo ngokubanika imali ethe kratya. Kwabanye, umntu lowo unokuzama ukwenza into engacelwanga, emva koko acele ingcebiso.

Abantu baseRussia bahlala bengabantu abanekratshi, kwaye ilizwe ngelo xesha lalisebenza ikakhulu kwizinyobo nakwintengiselwano ye-wink-wink. Oko akubenzi babe ngabantu ababi xa kuthelekiswa nabo bagqabhuka iinyembezi ngeenzame zokufumana imali engakumbi kwisityebi saseNtshona. Imeko leyo yayifana, kwaye kuwo omabini la matyala, mna ngokobuqu ndicinga ukuba kukuziphatha okuhle ukuba umntu osisityebi afune nantoni na anokuthi ayichithe kwiikawusi ze-cashmere ukuze ancede umntu aphile owayenengxaki yezoqoqosho.

Kodwa hayi. Umbhali, endaweni yoko, wakhwela ihashe lakhe lokuziphatha eliphezulu. Xa uYuri wayecela imbeko ngeengxaki zakhe, kwenzeka olu tshintshiselwano lulandelayo:

Ndonwabile ukukuhlawulela iindleko zakho, ndatsho, kodwa andinakukuhlawulela iwonga. Unyanzelekile ukuba undinike isipaji sam.

Kutheni kunjalo? Utsho uYuri, wandijonga ngokungakholeki.

Kuba, nditshilo. Asikokwakho.

U-Yuri watyikitya umzuzu ongaqhelekanga, ngokungathi uzama ukulinganisa lento bendisandula ukuyithetha. Uye waphakama ke, wafike wavula ikhabhathi ngasemva apho bendihleli khona. Imoto yabuya umva ndaweni ithile, ndaza ngesiquphe ndaqiniseka ukuba ufikelela kwipisto yakhe yenkonzo.

UYuri wajika, ndabona ukuba kwelinye icala uphethe ibhotile yevodka kwaye kwelinye, ziphethe iiglasi ezimbini. Uye wazibeka phezu kwetafile wagalela iziselo ezimbini. Uyazi, undifundise into namhlanje. ’

Uliqukumbele eli nqaku ngelithi ngexa engazange ambone uYuri kwakhona, kwaye wayehlala ezibuza ukuba ingaba ukudibana kwethu okufutshane kunefuthe elihlala lihleli kuye, njengoMary Poppins noMnu. Banks. Uphelise inqaku elinethemba, esithi (kwaye amehlo am aphume entlokweni yam xa ndifunda esi sivakalisi silandelayo) esi siganeko sibonisa ukuba, abantu baseRussia banokufikelelwa ukuba imigaqo-siseko esisiseko yokuziphatha icacisiwe kubo. Abantu baseRussia ababelani nelifa lemveli laseNtshona, kodwa intuition yokuziphatha ikhona kuyo yonke indawo, kwaye iyakwazi ukuphefumlelwa.

Into yokuba le ndoda ikholelwe ukuba ikwazile ukuyitshintsha ngokupheleleyo ikhampasi yokuziphatha komnye umntu ngenxa yelinye ibinzana le-clichéd yi-narcissistic ukuya kwinqanaba lesifo, ngokungathi bonke ubomi sisisiqendu Inkwenkwe ihlangana neHlabathi, apho yena, ewe, nguMnu Feeny.

Into yokuba wayekholelwa ekubeni akuzange kwenzeke kuYuri ukuba abuyise isipaji kuba wayengenalo uluvo lokulungileyo nokungalunganga, ngokungathi wayengumntwana omncinci, sisithuko esingaxolelekiyo. Abantu ababi kutya kuba zange baxelelwe ukuba akulunganga. Bayayenza, kwiimeko ezininzi, kuba banjalo ndilambile .

Ndiyazi abantwana abaneminyaka eyi-6 abanolwazi oluntsonkothileyo malunga nokuziphatha okuhle kunale ndoda.

Ewe kunjalo, eli bali liwela ngokulula kwi-trope ethiwe kakhulu yoMsindisi oMhlophe, ukanti akubangakho nto ibuyela umva kwimithombo yeendaba zentlalo (ngokuchaseneyo, amagqabantshintshi ngesiqwenga onke ayancomeka). Isizathu soku silula: Abantu baseMelika bakholelwa ukuba ilungelo elimhlophe yinto engenakubekwa kwabanye abamhlophe, into engeyonyani kwaphela.

Asibazi ubuhlanga bukaYuri, kodwa xa kungekho nabaphi na abanye abamakishi, simthatha njengeCaucasian. Kodwa iimeko zakhe zoqoqosho nezentlalo zimbeka kwindawo efanayo efunyanwa ngabangengabo abamhlophe kumazwe ehlabathi lesithathu, oko kuthetha ukuba eli bali lide lalililungelo elimhlophe elathathwa laya kwelona liphezulu.

Njengomntu waseRussia, ndiyagula kwaye ndidiniwe kukuva malunga nokuziphatha komphefumlo waseRussia. Kukho into ecacileyo engazange ibonakale inokwenzeka kubantu baseMelika, ukuba le trope yolwaphulo-mthetho, umthunzi, ukutshaya amatyathanga, i-squinty-eyed Russian semi-gangster luphawu olwavela kwii-90s, xa kwakufuneka ube ulwaphulo mthetho sisinde.

Ukuba ubukele iifilimu ezivela eSoviet Union, isimilo sendabuko abebekhuthaza ukuba benze UBrady Bunch jonga. Umama, owazalelwa kwindawo esemaphandleni kumazantsi mpuma eRashiya ngo-1960, wachaza ubuntwana obufana nenguqulelo yeSoviet Indlu encinci kwiNdawo : bonke ubuhlobo, ukunyaniseka, ukunyaniseka, ukuthanda umhlaba, uThixo, iihagu kunye nolonwabo olulula.

Akukho nto yahluke ngokusisiseko ngomphefumlo waseRussia nowaseMelika. I-Russia ivele yadlula kutshintsho lwenkcubeko oluye lwakhokelela kwinkcubeko yolwaphulo-mthetho ngaxeshanye xa abantu baseMelika babelala ngesondo kwiibhedi ezimuncu ezenziwe ngemali.

Uninzi lolo luvelisa. Abantu baseRussia abaneminyaka engama-21 ubudala namhlanje banokuninzi abafana nolutsha lwaseMelika kunangaphambili. Ngokungafani nabazali babo, kwakungekho mfuneko yokuba balwe ukuze baphile kwaye bahambe ngokubanzi, kwaye ngenxa yoko bahlala benenkululeko kwaye benengqondo evulekileyo kunookhokho babo. Ngokungafaniyo nabazali babo, bafumana uninzi lweendaba zabo kwi-Intanethi, kuneendaba eziqhutywa ngurhulumente. Kwaye, njengoko iifoto ezivela kwiindibano zibonisa amaxesha ngamaxesha, uninzi lwazo luchasene no-Putin kwaye banethemba lokujonga umhlaba-iphupha leRussia enobulungisa, elinganayo ekhululekile kulawulo lwenkululeko nakurhwaphilizo.

Ndiyazibuza ukuba umlobi uza kwenza ntoni ngomphefumlo wabo waseRussia ongaqondakaliyo.

Kodwa nakwisizukulwana awathetha ngaso, esindikhulisileyo, ndiyangcikivwa ngenxa yokuba bathi ngandlel 'ithile baziphethe kakubi. Ndikhule ndihlala nabantu abaninzi abanento endinokuthi lulwalamano olungathandekiyo nomthetho. Uninzi lwazo lubandakanyeka kulwaphulo-mthetho olukumgangatho ophantsi. Baxuba ipetroli ngamanzi. Benza iilayisensi ezingezizo kulutsha olufuna ukungena kwimivalo. Omnye umfana waya ejele rhoqo ngenxa yokungenisa iimoto ngokungekho semthethweni kangangokuba mna nabahlobo bam sambiza ngokuba yiGrand Theft Auto.

Benza izinto ezaziza kujongeka zibi Izulu lesi-7 ngenxa yokusinda koluntu olunamandla apho bafike khona ebudaleni, kodwa babengengabo kwaphela. Njengabaphangi kwi Kumnandi , babenemilinganiselo yokuziphatha ababeyithobela kangangoko.

Ukubonelela abantwana bakho. Hlonipha umfazi wakho. Zincame ngenxa yabantu obathandayo. Khathalela abadala bakho. Phuma uye kubahlobo bakho. Nceda abantu ongabaziyo. Nika isihlalo sakho kubafazi abakhulelweyo kunye nabantu abadala. Ungaze wenze isithembiso ongenakugcina. Thela iwayini kubafazi etafileni, kwaye uhambe nabo ukuya ekhaya ukuze uqiniseke ukuba bakhuselekile. Thenga ii-bouquets, ezinkulu. Thatha izihlangu zakho xa ungena endlwini yomnye umntu. Kwaye xa umntu efika, mnike ukutya nento eselwayo, nokuba oko kuthetha ukulamba ngaloo mini.

Ndihloniphe kakhulu amaxabiso aseMelika, ngenxa yeenkolelo zawo ezingagungqiyo, ukukhula njengoko ndenze kwindlela efanelekileyo yokutya kwezitekisi zaseMelika. Kodwa ndiyayiqonda indlela yokuziphatha evunyelwe sisizukulwana sabazali bam, kwaye eyona ndlela ilula endinokuthi ndiwuchaze ngayo umahluko yi-macro vs micro.

Ukuziphatha kwaseMelika kukhulu, kuthathelwe ingqalelo kwiimpawu ezingathandekiyo: inyaniso, ukuthembeka, ubulungisa, njl.

Isimilo saseRussia sincinci, sigxile kwizimbo zomzimba ezincinci kodwa ezibonakalayo: ukuqhuba umntu kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya, ukuvumela umhlobo ukuba ahlasele endlwini yakho iinyanga, ukubetha ikhephu ukuze ufumane umama wakho Advil ezinzulwini zobusuku.

Thina eMelika sicinga ukuba sihlala sinomgangatho ophakamileyo wokuziphatha. Kodwa njengokuba zikhona iindlela apho amaRashiya asilela khona ngokuziphatha kubantu baseMelika, ke ngamanye amaxesha amaMelika asilela kumaRussia. Umama wayesoloko esithi ndiziphatha njengowaseMelika, ukuze ndichaze xa ndenza into yokuzingca okanye eyedwa. Kuba isimilo saseMelika, ngandlela thile, sicingela isiqu saso, imigaqo yaso yokuziphatha ejikeleze iindlela zokwenza izinto ezilungileyo zibonakale zindilisekile, ngokuchaseneyo nokwenza ubomi bomnye umntu bube ngcono.

Umzekelo wam odidiweyo ngulo: Xa ndandihlala eRashiya ngo-2011, yayiseyindawo apho wawungena khona usiya esitolo ukulungele ukuphikisana nenenekazi kwikhawuntara kuba ubusazi ukuba uyakuzama ukukukhwaza malunga nokuba zingaphi izixhumanisi zesoseji uthengile. Kodwa yayiluhlobo lwendawo apho ulahla ukutya kwakho, wonke umntu esitratweni angangxama ngeenzame zokukunceda uqokelele ii-apile kunye neeorenji ziqengqeleke emhlabeni.

Yayiyindawo enokuthi xa ulahlekelwe zizihlangu zakho kwisikhululo sikaloliwe kuba zithe zenzeka ukuba zibetheke kwisithuba esiphakathi koololiwe kunye neqonga, njengoko ndenzile, khange umangaliswe xa umntu obhinqileyo evela ngaphandle kwaye akunikezela isibini sakhe esisecaleni, esala nawuphi na umvuzo njengembuyekezo. Yayiluhlobo lwendawo apho ushiye khona itrenchcoat yakho kwindawo yokucoca eyomileyo ngemini ebandayo, wonke umntu esitratweni angakunika idyasi okanye isikhafu xa usiya ekhaya. Kwaye yayiyindawo apho wawusazi ukuba umalume wakho uza kuza azokuthatha kunye nomama wakho ebusuku, phakathi kobusika obumnyama, ukusuka kwisikhululo sikaloliwe ngaphandle kokubuza.

Yayiyindawo apho abantu baziva benoxanduva lokuncama intlalontle yabo ngenxa yomnye, ngeendlela ezinzima, nezingathandekiyo. Ukuchola umntu osesiteshini ezinzulwini zobusuku akufane kufane ne-Instaworthy njengokwakha indlu kwilali yase-Uruguay.

Ndihlala ndiyithelekisa loo nto nomhlobo wam waseMelika ekholejini, othanda, i Ijenali Umbhali, wayenombono ophakamileyo wokuziphatha okuhle. Wayephethe ukuhamba kukaBeethoven ngeenxa zonke kwikhampasi, kwaye wayekuthanda ukuqhubeka malunga nehlobo alichithe ngokuzithandela e-Ecuador okanye ekufundisa ngamanzi amabi okusela eBhutan. Kodwa xa umntu ahlala naye egula ngumkhuhlane kwaye emcela ukuba athenge iyeza, wathi uxakeke kakhulu, urhuqa ilitye lakhe kwilayibrari, mhlawumbi ukuze afunde malunga nolwaphulo mthetho lwemfazwe eMyanmar.

Njengomntu okhulele kwindlu yaseRussia, ndifumanisa ukuba olo hlobo lokuhanahanisa kukuzingca. Kodwa abanye abantu, njenge Ijenali Umbhali mhlawumbi, angambona njengommi oziphethe kakuhle kakhulu kuba ebengasoze akhohlise mntu aphume emxholweni kwaye achithe ixesha elininzi exhalabele iinkedama.

Into ehlala ibonakala ingenzeki kwabo bangaziqondiyo iinkcubeko ezahlukeneyo ngamanye amaxesha banokubona izinto ngokwahlukileyo kukuba isimilo asinto egqibeleleyo. Njengokuba amaRussia ngamanye amaxesha enokubonakala ngathi ayathandeka kubantu baseMelika, ukuphakama kokuziphatha kwaseMelika kubonakala kukuzingca, ukuhanahanisa kunye nobuxoki kubantu baseRussia.

Inqaku lombhali lidlale kanye kuhlobo lwenkohliso ecekiswayo ngabantu baseRussia, kuba inqaku lakhe lalingekunceda abantu; imalunga nokuzenza mhle.

Ngelixa ezibamba emqolo ngokubonisa ukukhanya kwaba bantu baseSiberia, utyhola ilizwe liphela labantu kwaye ukhuthaza iingcinga ezihlambalazayo zaseRussia, ezisebenza kuphela ukuvutha amaRashiya, ukuqhubela phambili ukungavisisani phakathi kwala mazwe mabini kunye nokunceda uPutin. Kwaye akukho nto yokuziphatha malunga naloo nto.
