Yury Shevchuk: "Our government is corrupt endless freebie»

The leader of the "DDT" Yuri Shevchuk said that we could live differently

"2.3 to drag the trailer with the equipment on our roads to Khabarovsk - this is war" - confessed Yuri Shevchuk, who is with the group "DDT" and the new program "Otherwise," a concert tour in major cities of Russia.

Music reviewer "AIF" Vladimir Polupanov went "on route" and overtook Yury Shevchuk and C ° in Voronezh.

Word on the fence
"AIF": - Yura, your program is called "other." Otherwise, what with whom?

S: - other than all the advertising on the box, other than the fact that we imposed official policy. Otherwise live. Do not pull into the grave with all sorts of rubbish, debris of civilization, and be inwardly free, and ask themselves key questions: Who are you? What is Russia? Why do you live? What can you do good for walking around? Otherwise - it means to be a person, not a sheep in the herd bald, which is easy to manage. That such advertising is very lacking in our country. About Beer - no problem, about Putin and Medvedev, about the "United Russia", "BMW" - about whatever you want. But I have not seen any advertising, "Be a person!", "Develop", "The future of the country depends on your intelligence, heart and soul." So we hang on the walls is the word "otherwise" in all cities.

We want young people to show that rock and roll in the country died. In my opinion, no serious, large-scale programs native rock could lose relevance. Why in our country there is no such powerful conceptual rock programs, what makes a "U-TU" or at the time, "Hu" or "Pink Floyd"? And we set about it. I tell you, to drag a trailer with equipment 2.3 to Khabarovsk - this is war. The halls are not designed for concerts. Almost no sponsors (with the setting helped by friends, for which many thanks to them). A high cost of the program (light, sound, screens, 30 technicians), and therefore it is not everywhere pay off tickets from us cheaper than what some pop stars. And whatever they say, the average salary in the country - 5.10 rubles. So that people do not always have an extra 500-1000 rubles to go to the show. But glad that people still go missing, probably (laughs).

"AIF": - People are really not up to the music. Life has become many times more expensive, and wages and pensions almost do not grow. Therefore, the only entertainment - television.

S: - felt that the major free culture - in critical condition. I can see it in every city. In recent years, people are taught to go to concerts, movies, theater and opera for the entertainment. Television brain does not bother. There are women's groups such as "Singin 'cowards' and I coined the name for psevdomuzhskoy half of this population -" Musical vibrators. " And these pants, arm in arm singing with musical vibrators - unfortunately, there is the whole of our national television culture.

10 years ago people came to the concert for emotion, for in order to compare their thoughts about the country itself, of the world with thoughts of poets and musicians. And today, unfortunately, is a large outflow of the intellect of the country. I read the poems and the audience can see the faces - some are Russian literature do not understand the words. But every city has a thousand or two people going to a concert to empathize, not just rhythmically swinging their eggs.

Hole in the history of
"AIF": - Your concert begins with a frame XXVII Congress of the CPSU on the screen. This is an allusion to the return of the Brezhnev era?

S: - Indirectly, perhaps, an allusion to an era of stagnation. But the main idea - this is a farewell to the twentieth century, in which were many and beautiful and horrible, and good and bad.

"AIF": - Not too late to say goodbye?

S: - not later. Because of the twentieth century, 60%of the population so stuck in my brain, that's amazing. Some still live in the sixteenth century - nostalgic about Ivan the Terrible. Putin for them too flabby (laughs). There, you know what? Half of the country. Russia - a wonderful country, a hole in the history of human civilization. But the hole is a beautiful, powerful, fascinating.

Sometimes I look like on the TV beat two historical mythology. Like a frenzied, expansive Kurginian, imperialist, paternalist with the king-priest and the true faith, and reasonable soft Svanidze, whose panacea - Western liberal democracy. One myth - it is a democratic path of development, the other - this is paternalism with the king and the true faith. In the nineteenth century. Pogodin, Uvarov, Pushkin, Chaadayev Vyazemsky, Soloviev, Karamzin and Dostoevsky and others have argued for the same topic. For nearly 200 years of talking about the same, marking time in one place.

"AIF": - For the Khimki forest were cut, you were cut. But today the chips fly. So, all in vain?

S: - All is not in vain. This was Encyclopedias one of the centers of nucleation of a new civil society. It should be in the country. Very hard and it comes with a scratch formation, as our new program. But the struggle for the Khimki forest affected citizens. They saw that there are people who are cut and the trees, and for heaven, and for freedom. "I do not give a home to be eaten by the party of crooks and thieves" - is the slogan of the struggle for the Khimki forest. And what is lost ... But Gazprom's tower in St. Petersburg moved. So by one - one. Now in Tuapse monstrous chemical plant built by the sea, which kills people. Vonischa terrible. The whole town is against it, but have, as in the lake, and built it. It is necessary to rebut. Do not think of anything we do not depend on. Something must be done to ensure that children have got the green grass, forest, St. Petersburg's architecture, independent courts.

"AIF": - You sing about the price of oil and even a whole song ("When will the oil") devoted to "black gold". In your opinion, is evil?

S: - Until now, thinking: Oil - good or bad for Russia. Endless freebie that I sing, corrupting our government is above all. And then our people, who receives a pittance to the "black" master's table and happy. People stop to think a head, stop working. Why think, if there is oil? The oil runs out, the forests dorezhut. And then - universal kirdyk. What's so good? They say that if there was no such oil prices, we would have died. But the Russian peasant is a savvy and experience to survive in any situation. Brains have been included in the nation.

Give the other wheel

"AIF": - To include brains, we definitely need a jolt?

S: - I do not want to shake. But if you take the story, it turns out that way. Look at how the current era of rhymes with the times of Nicholas I. Not my idea, many historians say about it. Than under Nicholas ended the ideology of "stability", the "popular front" and the belief that Russia has its way, its own special sovereign democracy? Out of all the heavy defeat in the Crimean War: British and French rifled gun shot farther and more accurately. We lost this war. Nicholas I of this grief and died. And after him came Alexander the Liberator, who tried to modernize and reform the country, for which he was killed by his beloved people. Therefore, the Kremlin understand the guys who are afraid of real reform. To release you from this power itself. Let's live peacefully somewhere in the Canary Islands, on their dachas, write memoirs. Give the other steer.

"AIF": - Do you think others would be better?

S: - I do not know. But it will be others. I believe that stability in the turnover of power, not in her tenure. Let them steer won in fair elections, and then choose another. Find someone who will help us to pull the country out of shit. Yes-men and jo .. Lisa's blowing in the ears of our tandem, because they are afraid of losing money. If the power shift, the next president, of course, drag them to the prosecutor.

"AIF": - Do you have a poignant line about a poverty-stricken old woman in the "Explorer" - I admit, a tear knocks ...

S: - I travel a lot around the country and when my grandmother running along the platform with these knots, I tell you honestly, I buy whatever I can: huge cuddly toys, plastic machines, carpets, embroidered with beads, paintings with crushed malachite with Sergei Esenin, kissing birch, and potatoes with carp, and marinated mushrooms. And then try it all to someone present. But what to do? I was just so I can help people (unless, of course, was given daily).
