Russian messenger. Constantine Kedrov. Well, dad,

“Russian messenger”. Constantine [Kedrov]. Well, dad, wait….
 
The childhood of many of us is past under the very popular satiric verses:

Roman dad by dirty paw climbs not into his matters. And why only mom bore such a dad

Therefore straight translation from the Vatican for the majority of Russian people - approximately the same, that telecast about the debarkation of American astronauts to the Moon. Some rested, until now, do not believe to their eyes and indicate that the Americans were not there. In this case it is necessary not to believe to eyes and ears. Russian cossacks sing and dance in the Papal palace.

To their dances and to singing applaud 6000 spectators headed by the deputy apostle Peter by dad by John Paul.

Any culture by nature of its is world. However, for each person even in the world culture are their settled spaces warm corners. Already, it would seem, whom- whom, and Poland we so [upotchevali] by our red banner “Kalinkas” with Aleksandrov's ensemble [im]., that they, after obtaining the long-awaited freedom, will immediately fence off by mental Polish- Chinese wall and they will cease even to look into our side.

Nothing similar.

[Kshishtof] Of [zanussi], orthodox catholic and friend of dad, simply arrives in us and converses on the television by warm Moscow talk, as if all latter half a century he lived in any curved alley.

But already mysticisms and aesthete dad John Paul, very long [ugnezdivshiysya] in the heart of Rome, who records refined [verlibry] and theological treatises, must completely forget, that there was this Russian- Soviet or Soviet- Russian culture.

Nothing similar! Our most usual mass [netlenka] with something warms the Catholic heart of deputy apostle Peter. I already do not speak, that among the cathedral Of [sv].[Petra] compulsorily at the most honorable place stands either “the trio” it is ruble or Theofan [Grek]'s “assumption”, or “Mother of God Vladimir”. There is nothing surprising and in the fact that precisely with John Paul at long last appeared in the main cathedral Russian [ispovedalnya], where it is possible to confess in the Russian language. Pope - man is wide and is educated.

But that does tell his heart devil-may-care [raspev] of Kalinka -[malinki]? Why it does personally invite into the Vatican precisely military ensemble? And finally as can this refined intellectual come into the quiet tender emotion from Soviet [multikov], giving them as an example of truly Christian skill?

The red banner ensemble [im]. of Aleksandrov [Karol] Of [voytyla] listened to, still being bishop in red banner Poland. Were most of all to it pleased “[Polyushko]- field” and “dark girl”, but also “Katyusha rocket launcher” was not shared unfairly by the heart heat of the Pontiff, who unsealed now 27- y the year of his legendary administration.

We will not forget, that not long before the surprising concert in the Vatican palace dad returned to Russia one of the earliest means of the Kazan' Mother of God, driven away by believers from the godless Bolsheviks.

Let us leave for the sequence the super problem of dad to attain the complete reconciliation of two most powerful Christian churches - Catholic and orthodox. [Voytyla] is sufficiently frank, not hypocritical and, if it considers that the noble Christian soul best anything is opened in “the dark girl” and in “[Polyushke]”, it means… But which, strictly speaking, this does mean? I think with the horror: and which if the Pontiff of rights, and actually nothing, besides the red banner of the Order of Lenin “of Katyusha rocket launchers”, did not remain. Here indeed and at The [kannskom] festival Russian days are passed in essence under “[kalinushki]-[dubinushki]”. Pope simply reflects and is expressed European view in Russia, which for this generation will forever remain upper [Voltoy] with the rockets. Sugary military song- dances not less abundantly were represented in the third Reich. Instead of “the Katyusha rocket launcher” - “by Lillie by Marlene”, instead of “[Polyushka]” - “[Vunderasa]”. But aesthetical essence still is the same.

“By Lillie by Marlene” was personal [zakleymena] Goebbels as “sepulchral lyric poetry”. However, prohibition proved to be absolutely not efficient. Paley are everything. It is known that Germans in the entrenchments with the pleasure of [gorlanili] our “Katyusha rocket launcher”. No whether in the present musical predilections Of [voytyly] of a certain above- entrenching message to all orthodox. It is said, it will be sufficient spiritually to war. It is time to put an end to millennial hostility. I even am agreeable to join in singing “to the nightingales” of the Solovyev- grey of times you such [shiroko]-[prosto] stuffy. I love, it is said, by such, such as you exist.

Pope greatly is interested in Russian culture. It was worthwhile for me to read on the Italian television poem “the computer of love”, and immediately followed invitation into the Vatican. According to Sergey [Averintsev]'s recommendation the Pontiff became acquainted with the hermetically- religious poetry of Olga [Sedakovoy] and it was highly estimated. But he understands, that tens of millions of Russian readers never will whisper: “Sky - this is the height of view”. Then they all know by heart “[Ekh], [dubinushka], let us bellow” and they bellow here already thousand years very successfully. But therefore pastor more than billion believing catholics sincerely demonstrates love and respect for tens of millions of orthodox. So adult accompany to children in their games. So [Miklukho]-[Maklay] for sure of [pritantsovyval] together with Papuans in bonfire, being sincerely enraptured by their artlessness with the aftertaste of cannibalism.

Once Stalin with contempt asked, how much in dad of divisions. It is strange that so experienced an ideologist underestimated, and, more accurate, simply he did not understand, what is faith is. When he understood, it immediately opened that closed earlier to trio -[Sergievu] monastery and it did not begin to again close the Pskov cathedral, opened by Germans.

In the steadfast nonacceptance in all, that proceeds from the Roman throne it is felt even and the jealousy. The world popularity Of [voytyly] is obvious. But if it as Head of The State the Vatican would accept the invitation - Yeltsin Gorbachev - Putin and it arrived to Russia, it would be possible to place fatty point on the cultural-historical prejudices, which divided catholics and orthodox.

John Paul is not solved to this visit. It spares jealous feelings of our [ierarkhov]. It listens to their steadfast “no”. However, many reviewers consider that 6000 spectators, who applauded to the ensemble [im]. of Aleksandrov in the Vatican, finally lit ice by their applause, and those, which insist on the [byloy] spiritual hostility, they risk to prove to be in the spiritual isolation from its own flock.

Last assertion seems me by large exaggeration. You will not take us by applause. We have long ago become accustomed to subjugate by ballets and ensembles Europe and America. Vatican here not exception.

Pope loves Soviet [multiki]. In the series “well, wait!” merry forgiving hare nevertheless lit the heart of aggressive and rancorous wolf. [Voytyla] selected in this spiritual duel the role of hare. For Tom it was nevertheless possible to in a nice way tame fierce wolf.
