На фоне больших исторических процессов у нас есть и свои маленькие радости: например, вернулся наконец (не прошло и трех месяцев! два прошло) ко мне из британского визового центра паспорт, и с британской же визой в придачу. ДАННОЕ СООБЩЕНИЕ (МАТЕРИАЛ) СОЗДАНО И (ИЛИ) РАСПРОСТРАНЕНО ИНОСТРАННЫМ СРЕДСТВОМ МАССОВОЙ ИНФОРМАЦИИ, ВЫПОЛНЯЮЩИМ ФУНКЦИИ ИНОСТРАННОГО АГЕНТА, И (ИЛИ) РОССИЙСКИМ ЮРИДИЧЕСКИМ ЛИЦОМ, ВЫПОЛНЯЮЩИМ ФУНКЦИИ ИНОСТРАННОГО АГЕНТА Из этого следует, что я сперва поеду в Тель-Авив с лекцией о трансформации ценностей (ибо есть паспорт), а потом в Лондон вручать Pushkin house prize: премию за лучшую нехудожественную книгу о России на английском языке (ибо есть виза). Относительно Лондона тоже были опасения, не накроются ли наши книжные посиделки пеленой общенационального траура, но к 26-ому сентября Британия вроде обещает вернуться в режим Keep calm and carry on. Но сперва полечу в Израиль, если до 23-го ничего дополнительно чрезвычайного не случится. К визиту - статья обо мне с цитатами (скорее, чем интервью) в газете Haaretz.com. Есть и на иврите, но я читала на английском: по ссылке пейволл, но добрая редакция прислала мне полный текст. "“A totalitarian model is one of mobilization – both mobilization in the literal sense, to the army, and in the political-ideological sense. At the moment, these two types of mobilization are not accessible to our regime and are not desirable from its viewpoint. “Russia is a society that has undergone demobilization. When people fulminate about why the populace is continuing its life as though nothing [is changing], that is precisely the result of demobilization and that is characteristic of authoritarianism – whereas totalitarianism compels people to participate. Until now, the civil servants were pressured to get out and vote, but with the emergence of digital voting technology, the pressure will gradually decrease, and in the end a way will be found to get along without people altogether. Totalitarianism needs people, but authoritarianism doesn’t need people. Which is why it also encourages people to leave, as we’re seeing now.” According to sociological studies, Schulmann relates, “we are seeing a not very elevated mood among the citizenry, [because of] apprehension about the future. It changes by the week, but overall there isn’t any sort of belief in a clear future. Diverse fears exist among the country’s citizens. Toward the end of 2021, the most dominant fears were those that could be labeled political, fears vis-a-vis the state – fear of oppression, of violence and of being humiliated by the state, and fear of war. “It could have been inferred from this that if war were to occur, it would not enjoy support, but it would have been possible to arrive at an opposite conclusion: If people are so afraid of it, they will be silent when it happens. Because now the most terrible thing of all has happened. In other words, what needs to be done, in accordance with our ancient mechanisms, is to flee or to freeze. And Russian society did in fact split into those two responses. Many fled. But as we know, the ability to escape is a privilege in its own right. Those who didn’t wish to escape, or couldn’t escape, froze.” www.haaretz.com/world-n…e9980000
