Hortitsa: "deriban" under the patronage of the President. Part 2
Where does this ineradicable craving for sharovarschine? This disease Ukraine seems to be infected with more in the 90's. And then - "Renaissance" ... Yes it's simple. The reality is that the guarantor Yushchenko gravitates toward stories. Long and hopeless. This is his kind of love to a beautiful lady, whose bright image created exclusively own imagination. Hence many troubles ...
SECOND RETREAT. Historical "SCHIZOPHRENIA
Specialists, however, occasionally sarcastic about some historical discoveries of Viktor Andreyevich, particularly in the area trypilska culture, but that's it, experts, problems. Apparently, just do not rebuild. But what do not deny the president, so it is insuperable passion for antiques. For several years the head of state is considered the regular at a flea market, where every month buying, as they say, wholesale and retail various wonderful things. Uninformed citizens and they do not need a gift, and Viktor Yushchenko of each such acquisition in joy. The main thing that any purchase was associated with the Ukrainian way of life the beginning of the past, or even better before last century. And the farther from the time of the "Soviet occupation", the better. Well, what can you do, that's a weakness. In some women, and vodka in my head, and the modern Hetman - antiques deep.
The first caught the trend of modern times, of course, officials said. No sooner was guaranteed by the Cabinet of his predecessor in the national style fitted his comrades on the ground hurry up and have proved that they, too, like Ukraine. First, it seems, distinguished himself in such a noble cause, the then head of the Rivne Regional State Administration Basil Cervonii. As reported then, two years ago, UNIAN, Mr. Cervonii led not only to the proper type of personal office and waiting room, where staging a small exhibition of rarities, but said officials at the meeting, the hardware that expects his subordinates do the same. Allegedly, this requires the president.

The corresponding idea is actually owned by Viktor Yushchenko. Just not all the time realized that tastes of the former designer of space rocket systems Leonid Danilovich and accountant Viktor Andreevich different. For those who have not picked up a wonderful idea on the fly and not inspired charms of office design in the national style, of course, drew attention. It can be assumed that the personnel reshuffle that accompanied the early Yushchenko's presidency, to some extent was caused by the fact that some shun the glorious past officials simply do not fit in a cohort of "their lads". It turned out that little to hang on the wall of the cabinet and put a new portrait on the desk of his miniature. Advanced, historically, the governor Cervone, for example, had procured somewhere antique edged weapons and managed to decorate the room service is not only a portrait of the beloved president, but also the first head of the UPA Taras Bulba-Borovets, writer Samchuk. With Governorate in Pan Cervonii still went wrong, but knowing people still remember that the real pleasure was expensive in his working abode look. Well, a solid national flavor! Naturally, of course, that to address pressing socio-economic problems of all of this to any side, but it something different! Not for nothing because the president himself has been two and a half years never tired of talking about eternity - about spirituality, history and national memory. Everything else - vanity of vanities. It's boring and uninteresting. Those who understand this business, have all chances to remain in power as much as devoted himself to the guarantor. Passion always unites.
Recall the role of tennis in Russia's policy of the Boris Yeltsin. Game - a priori. Only need to apply properly and not try to beat the guarantor. But it is the secrets of the presidential kitchen, and we did - on the other. About irrepressible passion for antiquity. And not just gray. For example, in December 2006, Viktor Andreyevich told reporters that he had received on the eve of a very expensive gift for him - the wife presented him a motorcycle in 1942 release. "I am very happy - confessed Viktor. - Recently, on family holidays, I often asked his wife: "When, finally, I will have a motorcycle?". Recently, this dream has come true ... ".
Also offer a guarantee. He got exactly what he wanted - motorcycle wartime. Moreover, his little whim does not cost power - three-wheeled wonder paid his wife. Presumably, these rarities may well jump in price now, because all kinds of bosses are persistently trying to imitate the President in the large and small. Old disease of domestic bureaucracy ... And not so harmless as it may seem at first glance. Sometimes, the President of the copy without looking back. Apparently, believing that if "do life" with someone, then abandon all one hundred percent.
Maybe it's just a rumor, but the evil tongues say that, after the territory of suburban homeownership President appeared Polovtsy woman, just a few very decent citizens pampered like rarities. In order not to fall behind culturally from himself. This is understandable. But generally a stone Polovtsy woman - this is not something that should decorate the area of an individual. Why - is clear. It is nothing like a monument, which someone once the most banal way uvolok from the cemetery. Maybe the owner and he pleases the eye now, but somehow their hand, agree to see Polovets women near North Museum. Or better yet in the steppe. But certainly not at the cottage. Although, of course, a matter of taste ... the taste of it, as is known, it is: either it is or ... Well not happened! Happens.
"Wild Dances" at the grave My forefather
A short excursion into recent history. Kyiv, January 2005. The inauguration of the new President of Ukraine. At the first lady of the country do not remember what it chic dress from Lily Pustovit and unique brooch. Here is the most brooch and caused great scandal. The newspapers reported that this "raisin costume Catherine Chumachenko two and a half thousand years, and a brooch that has been taken on one day from the museum collection" Sophia of Kyiv ". Then, I remember, someone from the Health Policy on this matter was indignant and said that to make the exhibits from state museums and spetshranilisch prohibited. Still later flashed information about how this unfortunate brooch was found during excavations in the Chersonese, and kept in private collections, among other Scythian jewelry at a famous entrepreneur and collector. How old jewelry could be in a private collection, of course, did not specify. But is it so important from a public meeting or is even a private collection was taken brooch adorn inaugural dress the first lady? Not that we say, gentlemen. Someone Ukrainian historians ventured then to remind the new government, which periodically Elizabeth II appears on the people with the British crown jewels kept in the museum, but these jewels belong to her family. That's so sweet detail. We have tried to copy the "European tradition", to say the least, extremely unfortunate. In fact, this brooch is not a museum or, as we were then assured private collection. Before we get into this or that collection of antiquities, it is a miracle of ancient jewelry for two and a half millennia lay there ... in the cemetery. Later, in our days, someone had dug up and ... If you want a brooch from a cemetery. Scythian burial mound sounds, I understand where euphonious, but it absolutely does not change anything. Whoever advised the first lady to wear in such a solemn day for her husband Scythian brooch, clearly gave not the most sensible advice. And especially should not have to focus attention on the ancient decoration of the "nation". People brought up in their own centuries-old traditions, by the way, are often no worse than European, a brooch from a Scythian burial site just did not take. The scandal, of course, put out, but the sediment remained. Not in a Christian all this somehow ... I admit, of course, that the United States, where born and lived most of my life the current First Lady of Ukraine, to these things are different, but something we do not live in America and we have other customs. When the whole scandal with a Scythian brooch splashed on the pages of the press, could not help thinking, what fate awaits unique pectoral from Tolstoy grave. Name of the burial ground is usually not mentioned. Not accepted. The very same, this one-kilogram gold discovery made back in 1971, has long been a symbol of the archaeological Ukraine. You'll see, someone once and put an eye on these things pectoral ancestors. It is not known because some will be women's fashion in five, ten, twenty years. Suddenly, some high-ranking lady and even fit. Irony, of course, but I honestly do not want to laugh.
Stone Polovtsian woman is certainly not a gold Scythian pectoral, but to them should be treated, if we really believe themselves to be Europeans, but just a civilized people, otherwise. How? Yes, not barbarians! For many centuries, no one never thought privoloch a stone a woman to own house and baldet from one of its kind, coming out on the porch. And then someone realized that even these mute witnesses of the distant past can be simply "privatize". The wealthy do their whims. Do not believe it, but nimble archaist drag not only Polovets women, but also the Maltese crosses and tombstones. Who forgot to remind you that - "a unique nation, without which Europe, well, just did. Itself is something that she misunderstood even by his own whether arrogance, whether feeble mind, but we are with you know that civilization and Ukraine - twins. As expressed in some not very scientific, such as there Tripolye culture and other Biden. Some of the academicians of the old, totalitarian leaven, trying, however, still kicking and obscure the fence. For example, Academician Peter Tolochko generally permits politically immature statements. Direct quote: "Many of the historians, even the academic, professional, for some reason decided that the Ukrainians have always been. All other nations once developed, improved, and Ukrainians remained unchanged in its incarnation: in trousers, in embroidered, "W найкращою have sv1t1 melod1ynoyu ìîâîþ. Deepened in the Tripoli culture: there our origins. But this is such nonsense! ". But academic Tolochko only for an enlightened European authority. And we have something you know to whom in this matter should be targeted. Well, you know who it. Kohl Tripoli himself personally in charge of culture, the Pyotr Tolochko may deny any number of ideologically scientific discoveries of recent years, but the "nation" know why "the teachings of Marx is all-powerful. Yes, because it's true! Remember? I do not want to forget. Almost the same thing today with Trypil'ska culture. It is then we officially announce that all of this, as expressed by an academician, is nonsense. When the time comes. It always happens. Meanwhile kindly word for it. And as far as possible to cultivate a craving for stories. It should be remembered that the word draft is not the word to pull. Although life often exactly what happens. To pull - this is somehow more comfortable with ...
A letter from the head of Agriculture, Mr. Chairman Brick Vasilivskogo District Council Zaporizhia region Grachev VS: May 16, 2006 from the Skelkivskogo village council illegally, without a village council were taken by the Director General of the National Reserve "Khortytsya" Sushko KI cultural monuments, including ten two Maltese crosses and tombstones of the first settlers in s.Skelki.
Villagers outraged by this act and demand to return the cultural monuments in place.
We ask your assistance in this matter.
Village head Vladimir Brik.
June 20, 2006.
Not a month passes, as Vitaly Brick receives a response signed by the deputy chairman of the regional council A. Kravets, from which recognizes that "in accordance with paragraph 9 of article. 5 of the Law of Ukraine "On protection of cultural heritage" ... In short, from the area came good news: it turns out, only the Skelkivsky Village Council may give permission for the export of objects of cultural or historical heritage. Because of this the villagers themselves know, the district leadership has given valuable advice - contact the law enforcement authorities.
Subsequent course of events in general looks like. August 11 at the plenary meeting of the third session of the regional council deputies Vasilivskogo District Council accepts the request to the chairman of Zaporizhzhya Regional Council, Mr. Nefedov and the Governor, Mr. Chervonenko.
"We, members of District Council is extremely concerned about the situation that prevailed in Vasilivskom area due to actions of the representatives of the National Reserve" Khortytsya "associated with illegal without a permit removal of the stone masterpieces - crosses, stone idols, gravestones from the Skelkivskogo Kamensky and rural councils . Results from the district was taken out 15 stone crosses, a tombstone in the Great s.Skelki stone and 3 women, one of which is registered in Vasilivskom historical-architectural museum-reserve "Manor Popova". The guard room 1849.
Removal of the masterpieces of stone was carried out without the permission of the sector of cultural heritage protection and resolution of local councils and in violation of the norms of Christian ethics and morality, human values. Residents of villages are outraged by such conduct general director of the National Reserve "Khortytsya" Sushko KI When exporting stone masterpieces of the reserve staff ignored the protests of the villagers. Crane craned crosses and, dipping them in the car, took them outside the district. Until that time, theft of crosses from the graves was not, no gravestones monument with Cossack graves and the first settlers had not been destroyed or stolen ... ". 4 September of the same in 2006 "to ensure a return to the area illegally exported stone masterpieces" order of District Council Chairman V. S. Grachev, a commission chaired by the Head of the Department of Culture and Tourism of State Administration, deputy district council Tatiana Shatalinskoy. Included in the commission's head of rural Vitali Brick, some of the deputies, as well as director of historical and architectural museum-reserve "Manor Popova, also damaged by vandals, Vladimir Meshkov and several researchers. The latter admitted that "this gang" had not met. And no wonder. They behaved members "barbarian invasions", as one of the witnesses, really cynical. Civilized people are not able to.
And what of Zaporizhzhya Regional State Administration? Yes, in general, anything, to speak plainly. Department of Culture and Tourism informed last year chairman Vasilivskogo raysovta Mr. Grachev, it, management, concerned about the situation "and" supports the appeal of Deputies Vasilivskogo District Council. In conclusion, as adopted by our officials, the recipient was asked to "urgently establish a working committee of deputies of regional and rural councils, representatives from the rural community and researchers. In short, the beginning of all beginnings, we are still "working committee". And absolutely no matter from whom they are composed. If you want to ruin the root cause, and a commission. Sense from a "collective creativity" often zero, but the appearance of the work there.
We must pay tribute to the management of culture and tourism. In order official letter did not look as dry evasion, officials finished, that if, say, will not resolve the issue, keep us informed. It seems to be really interesting to them ... But apparently everything seems to look decorous and noble. Sympathize with, say, with all my heart to you, your cause is just, in the teeth Sushko bring stolen crosses, gravestones and stone idols.
The regional state administration, after "careful consideration of the application of Deputies Vasilivskogo District Council Zaporizhia region of the fifth convocation on the looting of the stone masterpieces and return them to the district representatives of the National Reserve" Khortytsya "said the chairman of district council Vasilivskogo V. Grachev, that" the protocol request, ordered to the general director of the National Reserve Khortitsa "Sushko KI resolve the conflict situation and return the stone masterpieces.
Justice has triumphed, and punished evil-doers? Nothing doing! Protocol orders - this is how I put it mildly, does not always work. Most likely, and leadership itself Zaporizhzhya regional state administration, while working on this unsubscribing, well understood that the stone crosses, gravestones and stone idols in the area may never be forthcoming. Suggesting District Council ... to establish a working committee with the participation of deputies Vasilivskogo District Council, representatives from the rural community and so on to "the selection of the masterpieces of stone" and assured the district leadership that the transport of all that was stolen - Direct Acting Director-General of the National Reserve "Khortytsya" g -на Сушко, василивцам намекнули, что в случае, если вопрос не будет решен, им предложено обращаться в Государственную службу охраны культурного наследия при Министерстве культуры и туризма Украины, которая, как подчеркивается в письме, «осуществляет непосредственное организационное и научно-методическое руководство Национальным заповедником «Хортица».
В общем, позиция Запорожской областной государственной администрации предельно ясна: пошли вы на фик со своими каменными шедеврами! Протокольное поручение Сушко К.И. направлено? Направлено. А дальше ваши проблемы. Сумеете взять измором г-на Сушко, хорошо. А на нет и суда нет. Существует Государственная служба охраны культурного наследия при Минкультуры и туризма, вот пусть у тамошнего начальства голова и болит. Вот только невольно возникает вопрос, а на холеру, простите за наивность, нам областные (!) государственные администрации во главе с губернаторами, которые простые вопросы решить не в состоянии. Ясно ведь, как белый день, кто здесь прав, а кто виноват. Если г-н Сушко не только увлекал подчиненных на противозаконные и аморальные деяния, но и шел при этом, как говорится, в первых рядах, то спросить и с него, казалось бы, следовало так, дабы другим подобные безобразия творить не повадно впредь было, а спросить некому. Впору вообще задуматься, откуда такая осторожность. Чем вообще объясняется столь трепетно-нежное отношение к распоясавшемуся руководителю? Неужели генеральный директор пусть даже Национального заповедника столь значимая фигура, что в регионе на него управы не находится? Губернатор, на чье имя идут челобитные, тоже вроде бы не мальчик и вполне способен, казалось бы, грюкнуть кулаком по столу. Но что-то не получается. Как там в киноклассике? «Меня терзают смутные сомнения»?
По информации областного совета, ныне проводится дополнительная следственная проверка по фактам незаконной «экспроприации» с кладбищ Василивского района мальтийских крестов и надмогильных плит. Чем обернется эта проверка лично для г-на генерального директора, можно лишь гадать. Но сама эта дикая история подходит к концу. Понадобилось несколько месяцев, чтобы в село Скельцы благодаря настойчивости депутатов сельского, районного и областного советов наконец-то были возвращены украденные памятники. Дабы успокоить души умерших запорожских казаков, отец Вадим, священник местной церкви, как и положено, провел на кладбище панихиду.
В связи с этой историей уместно было бы, наверное, вспомнить, что на Сечи довольно широко практиковалось наказание за воровство. В подобных случаях виновного приковывали к позорному столбу и проходящие мимо казаки могли воспользоваться лежащими рядом киями – гибкими деревянными дубинками. Случалось, проштрафившиеся стояли у столба неделями, а если преступление вызывало, как бы сейчас сказали, широкий общественный резонанс, казаки могли забить виновного насмерть. Неизвестно, правда, какую меру наказания определили бы осквернителям казацких могил наши предки. Ничего подобного у них не было. Наверняка бы запороли…
У нас нравы иные. Мы все больше налегаем на эпистолярный жанр. И хотя дело это хлопотное и зачастую не очень эффективное, ничего другого защитникам захоронений пращуров не остается. Ну разве что еще можно судиться с теми же вандалами.
Не совсем понятно, почему в подобных случаях безмолвствуют правоохранительные органы. Если учесть, что в одном только Василивском районе Запорожской области насчитывается около 400 археологических памятников – курганов, древних захоронений и т.п., неплохо было бы озаботиться их сохранностью. В противном случае, то, что случилось, повторится еще не раз. Если памятники прошлого воруют в открытую, значит, кому-то это надо, верно? Не удастся уйти с добычей с одного кладбища, вандалы непременно придут на другое. Неужели не ясно? И что тогда? Очередной поток жалоб? А если случится так, что осквернители древних захоронений останутся неизвестными, с кого прикажете спрашивать?
Еще в начале 90-х Украинское общество по охране памятников истории и культуры разработало программу «Некрополи Украины». Увы, казацкие могилы она пока не защищает. Равно как и захоронения более позднего времени.
Вывод напрашивается сам собой: если мы действительно дорожим наследием предков, своей славной историей, если «любовь к отеческим гробам» не просто декларируется у нас к месту и не к месту с самых высоких трибун, а подтверждается реальными делами, пора, как и велел г-н президент, «быть серьезными к Хортице». И вообще давно следовало бы взглянуть на «колыбель казачества» и прилегающие к ней районы не глазами туриста, а глазами прямого потомка запорожских казаков. Может, тогда хотя бы что-то изменилось на Хортице в лучшую сторону. А пока там нет настоящего хозяина, человека неравнодушного, совестливого, надежды на добрые перемены тщетны. Себя-то обманывать не надо: не бывает так, чтобы целый ворох проблем, копившихся годами, «рассосался» сам собой. Проблемы своими действиями или бездействием всегда создают конкретные люди. Людям их и решать. Спокойно, взвешенно. По государственному. Главное, чтобы был результат. Хортица с ее многовековой непростой историей давно это заслужила и коль объявили ее наши поводыри национальной святыней, просто обязаны отвечать за свои слова. Иначе грош им цена на блошином рынке. В конце концов, даже самые большие начальники приходят и уходят. Что гетманы, что губернаторы, что президенты. А Хортица вечна. Единственная и неповторимая. Такой в веках и останется.
