Nicholas Starikov
If someone would have told me about how to handle with the historical facts of the Russian writer Nikolai old man, I would have reacted to this retelling with great hesitation. More precisely, we simply would not believe.
But personal notes taken by me at the club Impressum meeting in the center of Geneva "in this environment, quotations from speeches Starikov:" good old method of printing paper money has allowed and allows England to employ the war the whole country ... enough to print a large amount of money and soldiers from other countries are fight and die in Afghanistan and Iraq, "" Terrorism was invented by the Anglo-Saxons 250 years ago ... "" England managed to push Russia to Germany (in the First World War in 1941), "" The British were able to create a mechanism to create internal explosions before they were called revolutionary movement, and now - "orange" Revolutions, "" Where he lived and was buried Marx? - In London. What kind of passport to go terrorist B. Savinkov? - With English. Where Gorbachev intends to March 30 note its 80 anniversary? - The glorious hero city London. "
To join this paranoia, political science, of course, I might have to ask - rhetorically as - Where children learn now, Putin has hundreds and thousands of Russian high-ranking officials and oligarchs, where the family lives of Abramovich and his football club, why go London small entrepreneurs such as Mr Lugovoi and Kovtun, etc., etc. But there was no time.
Moreover, the second, and also through a thread in a 3-hour conversation N. Starikov was masterly juggling historical events.
- Take the entry of Estonia into the Russian Empire in 1721. Russia has even paid a large Swedish money for the area. Why is it when leaving Estonia in 1918, nobody asked back this amount?
few moments I thought I heard wrong? Author 9 popular books on economic history, a scientist known polemist - does not know that in the XVIII century is no Estonia as a state, does not it? Had to ask lecturer written question - where, from the some of the country, "came out" Estonia in 1918? Since Starikov ashamed to announce my note and publicly respond to it, I repeated the question after his speech, when he signed wishing their books.
answer was amazing: from the Russian republic, that in September 1917 proclaimed the Provisional Government Alexander Kerensky.
- But in February 1918 was no longer any Interim Government with its republic, and certainly there RSFSR with its boundaries without the Baltic states - I reminded her.
only momentarily faltered a brilliant writer from St. Petersburg and political scientist. And then said, as he must have imagined the place:
- you know, is the tragedy of our people that we are all held hostage interests West.
- Why the West in general, as well as the Provisional Government, if Lenin had in December 1917 "released" Finland and the three Baltic area?
- Who was Lenin? "- A question with a question answered Starikov.
- Well, the chairman of People's Commissars of the RSFSR ...
- And its someone appointed to that post? Do you know that Kerensky's government consisted of a British agent? ", - said the analyst.
At this point, had to thank the speaker and quickly removed from his table that he did not have time to write me in creatures of someone's intelligence ...
Several years ago I was in a Russian magazine, ironically likened the increasing ratio to historical events as a tablecloth in a public dining room: after the departure of the visitor (in this case - a ruler or regime) shaken firmly established facts as bread crumbs, turned a cape (textbooks, monographs) "clean" side and spread out again before the next customer. It seems that irony has come end. Historical "crumbs" to shake off a complete and well-paid government seriously.
remains only to note that the meeting with the Russian publicist opened by Chairman of the Narva City Council M. Stalnuhhin, who signed a contract in the same contract with the club Impressum to such lectures in Narva.
