This story is about revolutionary socialist transformations in the newly created Lithuanian jurisdiction from 1918-1920.

From marerials archive of cases of State security Soviet Union, original Lithuanian language.

 Grit your teeth and read... read or watch the movie - "Film Chekist" based on story, sorry but only russion language .

 The story about time of the creation of the Lithuanian Socialist Republic on the bones of the Russian Empire and the East Prussia !

2015 - The Union of Lithuanian National Youth celebrated the return of Vilnius and condemned the "intrigues of American and German Polish imperialists"

I

A column of trucks drove into the courtyard, iron wheels clattered on the paved yard and the whole stone house shook much so that on the third floor on Srubov’s table the copper lids of the inkwells clinked. Srubov turned pale. The members of the assembled board and the investigator nervously and hastily to lit. Everyone hid behind their own curtain of smoke - eyes to the floor.

 In the basement of the house, Holy Father Vasily raised his pectoral cross above his head - 'Brothers and sisters, let us pray one last time.'

  A dark green cassock, a belly spread downwards, a round bald skull - a moldy mallow. He stood up in the corner. From the bunks, rustling, black shadows crawled towards him.  They crawled  and groaning stuck to the floor.

 In another corner, turning blue, Lieutenant Snezhnitsky was wheezing. Squeezing Snezhnitsky's head between his knees, Ensign Skachkov strangled him with a short loop from his suspenders. Turning his broad back to the door, the officer was in a hurry - he was afraid that they would notice. For himself he had a sharp bottle fragment prepared.

 And the cars kept knocking and knocking in the yard, and everyone in this three-story stone house knew that they had been sent for the removal of corpses. At the priest's the hand with a cross stuck out from a wide sleeve like a fat, hairy snake. Pale faces rose from the floor, at everyone a dead, fading eyes crawled out of their sockets and watered. Everyone saw the cross differently. For some only this a narrow silver plate. For some - a sparkling star. For some are only black emptiness. The priest’s tongue stuck to the roof of his mouth, to his lips, and his lips were purple and cold.

- In the name of father and son...

 There is gray sweat on the gray walls and frost in the corners, like the white openwork lace of perpetual, never-ending frost. The words of prayers rustled across the floor like falling leaves. People trembling were rushing about in a cold sweat and fixed be walls - the wall has the indestructible hardness of stone.

Commandant. The commandant is wearing a red cap, red riding breeches, a dark blue tunic, a brown English sword belt over his shoulder, a crooked Mauser without a holster, and sparkling boots and has a shaven, good-natured,  face like something out of an advertising poster from a hairdresser's window. In the office entrededcompletely silently. He entered and froze in the doorway, stretched out. Srubov raised his head slightly.

 - do all ready ?
The commandant answered briefly, loudly, almost shouting:
- All ready.

And he froze again. Only the eyes, with piercing pupils and a sharp glassy sheen restless.
Srubov and the others sitting in the office had the same eyes - glassy, sparkling, and alarmed.
- take them to be out from first five. I now.

Without haste, he filled the pipe. As if saying goodbye saying, he shookid hands to all, but didn't looking in the eye. Morgunov did not shake hands. - I'll go with you'll just to see

This is his first time at Cheka. Srubov paused and winced. He put on a black sheepskin coat and a long-eared red hat. He lit a cigarette a goto the corridor.

Tall, heavyset Morgunov in a sheepskin coat and hat was slouching behind. There are fiery blisters of lamps on the ceiling. Srubov pulled his hat by his ears. He closed his forehead and half his eyes and looked at him feet. Gray wooden parquet squares, it's as if they were strung on a string and pulled. They crawled under Srubov’s feet, and he himself, not knowing why, them quickly counte:
-...Three...seven...fifteen...twenty-one...

There are gray wooden parquet squares on the floor, the department signs are white on the walls. He didn't look, but he saw. They are also on a rope.
...Secret operational... counter-revolution... no entry... banditry... crime...

He counted out sixty-seven gray ones and lost count, stopped and turned back. He looked irritably at Morgunov’s red mustache. When he understood, he knitted his eyebrows and waved his hand and goto forward. Mentally he repeated: “...Manti-ments... senti-ments... senti...” He was angry, but could not get rid of it.
...senti-ments... ments-senti...

There is a sentry on the plat of way of stairs.  And behind are this spectator, an unnecessary witness.  Srubov is disgusted that they are looking at him, disgusted that is so lighting.  And, here again is steps of stair.  And it started to again.

- ...Two... four... five... The area of stair is empty.  Again:
-...One... two... eight...
Second floor.  New sentry.  Past, sideways.
More steps of stairs.
And More.
Last sentry.  Quicker.  Door.  Yard.  Snow.  Lighter than in the corridor.

And t here the bayonets.  A whole palisade.  And Morgunov, tactless, sticks to the left sleeve, pesters to with the conversations.

In the basement of the house - father Vasily is with raised cross of ortodocsan.  The condemned are on their knees around him.  They tried to sing in chorus.  But everyone sang separately.
- With the saints, we hope rest...

There are only five women.  Men's voices are not heard.  Fear pressed steel hoops tightly around their chests, throats and pressed on them and the men only creaked subtly, intermittently:
- With the saints... the saints...

The commandant also put on a sheepskin coat, yellow.  And went down to the basement with a white sheet of paper - a list.  In basement of the door to  thundering with a heavy bolt.

The singers have no tongues.  Mouths full of hot sand.  Everyone could not get up from their knees.  They atcrawling into corners, onto bunks, under bunks.  A flock of sheep.  Only a cat's squeal.
The priest, leaning against the wall, stuttered quietly:
- ... oop-po-po-o-o...
And loudly tospoiled the air.

The commandant waved the paper.  His voice is raw, oppressive - earthy.  He named five names - as if he was filling  earth on they.  There is no strength to move.  The air became like a disturbed cesspool.  The commandant held his nose in disgust.  To him The long-moustached captain came up and asked:
- are leading us ?

Everyone knew - to shoting.  They didn’t hear the verdict.  They dont wanted hear it. they didn’t want to, couldn’t perceive it, didn't want understand reality. They want to again definitively to sure.

The commandant is stern and serious.  He so directly, without blushing, without embarrassment, he looked eye to eye of theyand declared:
- To Omsk.

Esaul chuckled and squat:
  - along a underground road?

To  colonel Nicitin also funny.  He bent own back of guard and beard:
- Hee hee...

And he did not feel or see that from under him and from under his neighbor, General Treukhov, muddy did are streams were crawling along the bunks and on the floor from them did are forment on the floor a swamp wich the steam.

Five were taken away.  The door did are tightly blocked the exit.  The hatch into the yard clanged.  Car noise is clearer.  And this car noise sounded like the knocking of clods of frozen earth on an iron basement door.  Those locked in felt like they were did are being buried alive.
- Tu-tu-tu-tu-tu.  phr-to-to.  phr-to-to.

Captain Bozhenko stood up against the wall, hands on hips, raised his head.  There is a weak light bulb under the ceiling.  The captain winked at her.
- They won’t find me, brother.
And on all fours up to under the plank-bed.

From the corner, Lieutenant Snezhnitsky  show everyone his blue dead tongue.  His body Skachkov, hid in this corner from the eyes of the commandant, and he didn’t cut his own throat.  He turne glassin hands, but didn’t cut his own throat didn’t dare up.

A small fire bubble on the ceiling suddenly burst.  The pus from it is black resin ingot everyone's eyes.  Darkness.  In the darkness it is not fear - despair.  It is impossible to sit and wait.  But walls, walls.  Brick floor.  Crawling up and squealing up it.  Nails, teeth into damp stones.

They were led through a narrow snowy yard and Srubova, and to the five who were brought out, it seemed that this narrow snowy yard was a white-hot metal hall.   Slowly rotating at the bottom of a three-story stone well, he grabbed people from this hall and threw them into the hatch of another basement at the opposite end of the yard.   In the narrow throat of the spiral staircase, the of them lost their breath, at two heads began to spin, and they fell.   They fell and the other three to were knocked down up by them, so they rolled up in a heap onto the dirt floor.

The second basement without bunks is curved like a block letter 'L', in the short hook of the stone letter, far from the entrance, there is darkness - in the long tail is day.  The lamps  every five steps.  All the bumps and pits are visible on the floor.  There's no hiding here.  The walls like brick rocks, welded together with sharp, clear corners.  And from above a stone empty-bellied block of the ceiling.  Here can't run away.  In addition, the guards from behind, in front, from the sides.  Rifles, checkers, revolvers, red stars.  There is more iron and weapons than people.

The “wall for shot exicution” turned white at the border between the light tail and the unlit bend. Five doors stood at the brick wall, torn from their hinges. About five doors, five security officers. They hold large revolvers in their hands and triggers of revolvers with hammers as the form of black question marks.

Here the commandant stopped the condemneds and ordered:
- Take off your clothes.

An order for condemneds this is like a blow.  All five of them jerked and their knees buckled.  Srubov to seement  felt that the commandant’s order applied to him as well anf unconsciously he unbuttoned his sheepskin coat.  At the same time, reason convinced him that this was nonsense, that he was a member of the Gubchek and should direct the execution.  He wich hard  with effort what  controlled himself .  He looked at the commandant, at the other security officers - no one paid attention to him.

The condemned undressed with trembling hands. Them stiffened fingers did not obey.  Buttons and hooks were not undoney.  The laces and ties were tangledey.  The commandant gnawed on a cigarette and hurried:
- faster, faster...

One of them had his head stuck in his shirt, and he was in no hurry to free it.  No one wanted to undress first.  They looked it sideways at each other and hesitated.  And the cornet Kashin did not undress at all.  He sat huddled, hugging his knees and stared dumbly at one point at the toe of his rusty, torn boot.  Efim Solomin approached him.  Revolver in his right hand behind his back, and left hand t'stroked it head.  Kashin shuddered, opened his mouth in surprise, and looked at the chekist.

- What are you thinking about, my dear ? or scared up ?
And with hand everything stroked him hair.
Speaks quietly, in a singsong voice.
- Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, dear.  Your death is still far away.  There is no scary thing yet.  Let me help you take off your jacket.

And tenderly and firmly and confidently with his left hand he to him unbuttons officer’s jacket .
- Don't be afraid, my dear.  Now let's take off the sleeve.

Kashin has become limp.  He spread his arms out obediently, limply.  There is tears his face, but he didn't notice them.  Solomin completely mastered him.
-Now pants.  Nothing, nothing, all good, my dear.

Solomin's eyes are honest, blue.  The face is open which  high cheekbones.  Only dirty patches on the chin and on the upper lip with a sparse fringe.  He to undressed Kashin like a caring orderly  patient.
- well,now and your under pantalon...

Srubov clearly and painfully understet and  felt the hopelessness of the situation of the condemneds.  It seemed to him that the highest measure of violence was not in the execution itself, but in this stripping.  From a clothe onto the bare ground.  Undressed among the clothed.  The humiliation is extreme.  The pressure of waiting for death was intensified by the everydayness of the situation.  Dirty floor, dusty walls, basement.

Or maybe each of them dreamed of being the chairman of the Constituent Assembly?  Or perhaps being of  the first ministerman of the restored monarchy in Russia?  Perhaps by the emperor himself?  Srubov also dreamed of becoming the People's Commissar not only of the Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic or Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, but even of the World Union of Soviet Socialist Federal Republics.

Awareness of own desire it didseemed to Srubov that now, what would shoot him along with they.   A cold, thin needles the prick on him back and, his hands  fiddled with his belt for holster wich gun and his coarse beard.

In front of him, his pince-nez gleaming, stood a naked, bony man.   He undresed first.   The commandant pointed him to  nose and said:
  - take off this.

The naked leaned a little towards the commandant and smiled.  Srubov saw a thin, intelligent face, an cleven look and an light brown beard.
- What me then to make?  After all, then I won’t even see the wall.

In the question, in the smile there is naiveness, kidishness.  Srubov hasing an thought : maybe no one is going to shoot anyone.  And the security officers laughed.  The commandant dropped his cigarette.
- You're a nice guy, damn it.  It's okay, we'll let you down.  But the pince-nez still need take off.

Another, corpulent, with black fur on his chest, to did say heavy bass voice:
- I want to give my last testimony.

The commandant to looked at  Srubov.  Srubov came closer.  Took out his notebook and began to write down without thinking about the meaning of the testimony, without criticizing it. He was glad that the decisive moment had been little postponed.  But the fat only liede, got confused, and  delaye to time.

- Near the forest, between the river and the swamp, in the bushes...
He said that the  detachment of white in which he served buried a lot of gold somewhere. But none of the security officers believed him.  Everyone knew that he was only trying to gain time.  In the end, the condemned man offered to postpone his execution, take him as a guide, and he would indicate where the gold was buried.

Srubov put the notebook in his pocket.  The commandant, laughing, patted the naked man on the shoulder:
- Stop uncle to fucking us brains.  Become to wall.

Everyone has already undresed.  From the cold did rubbeding they hands and stepined from foot to foot with bare feet.  Linen and clothes are in a motley heap.  The commandant made a gesture with his hand - he invited.
- Stand up at wall.

The fat man in black wool to howled and choked on his tears.  A criminal bandit with a dull, indifferent face approached one of the doors.  Crooked hairy legs with huge flat of feet, standed on legs well, steadily.  The thin-legged  captain from the punitive detachment shouted:
- Long live The Soviet Authority !

With a revolver against him, wide-nosed, broad-faced, shaven Vanka Mudynya.  He waved his sinewy, tattooed sailor's fist in front of the captain and to say with through his teeth, with a grin:
- Don't shout - we won't will not have mercy.

The communist to sentenced for bribery, lowered his round, cropped head and at the ground to said dully :
- Sorry, comrades.

And the cheerful one with a light brown beard, now without pince-nez, and here made everyone laugh.  He stood up at wall  mading a stupid face:
- Here they are, the doors to the next world - without hinges.  Now I know to be.

And again Srubov thought that they would not to be shot.  Ar here the commandant, still laughing, ordered:
- Turn around.

The condemned did not understand.

- Turn your'll face to the wall and your back to us.

Srubov knew that as soon as they began to turned at back, five security officers would simultaneously raise their revolvers and shoot each one point-blank in the back of the head.

By the time the naked people finally understood what the clothed ones wanted from them, Srubov managed to fill and light his extinguished pipe.  Now they will turned  back around - and it’s over.  The faces of the guards, the commandant, the security officers with revolvers, and Srubov are the same - intensely pale.  Only Solomin stood completely calm.  His face is no more preoccupied than is necessary for ordinary, everyday work.  Srubov's eyes into the phone, into the light.  And yet he noticed how Morgunov, pale, gasped for air and turned away, but some force pulled him towards the five naked ones, and he twisted his eyes at them.

The fire in smoking pipe to did flinch and It hurts to hitid in ears.  White raw carcasses of meat fell to the floor.  The security officers with smoking revolvers quickly did run away back and immediately to crack the triggers.

At the those shot  the legs of  were twitching in convulsions.  The fat man sighed for the last time with a ringing squeal.  Srubov thought: “Is there a soul or not? Maybe it’s the soul that comes out wich such squel?”

Two men in gray shenelles to did put nooses on the corpses’ feet and dragged them into the dark corner of the basement.  Two others wich shovels were digging the ground, cover up steaming streams of blood.  Solomin, with a revolver tucked into his belt, was sorting the laundry of the executed.  He carefully did folded long johns to  johns, shirts with shirts, and the outer dress separatelys.

In next top five was priest.  He no had control over himself.  He could barely drag the thick body on short legs and rattled subtly:
- Holy God - Holy Strong...

His eyes were bulging out of his sockets.  Srubov remembered how his mother made larks from dough and inserted eyes into them from raisins.  The priest's head looked like the head of a lark taken out of the oven with raisin eyes swollen up from the heat.

Father Vasily fell to his knees:
- Brothers, dear ones, don’t kill me...

But for Srubov he is no longer a person - dough, a lark made of dough.  He don't was feel sorry for it at all his.  The heart hardened with anger.  He clearly said through his teeth:
- Stop whining, God's pipe.  Moscow does not believe in tears.

His rough firmness was an impetus to other security officers as well.  Mudynya twisting maked cigarette:
- Give him a kick in the stern - he will shut up.

Tall, make body Semyon Khudonogov and short, square, bow-legged Alexey Bozhe grabbed the priest, threw him down, began to undress him. And he tightened it again, rattling the glass in the cracked frame:
- Holy God, Holy Strong...

Efim Solomin stopped them:
- Don't touch Holy Father.  He will undress himself.

The priest fell silent - his dull eyes turned to Solomin.  Khudonogov and Bozhe walked away.
- Brothers, don’t undress me.  Priests are supposed to be buried in vestments.

Solomin him affectionate.
- Those in Lopotin, my dears, are chizhel.  Lopotina, she's pulling.

Pop was lying on the ground.  Solomin was squatting over him, the tails of his long gray overcoat pulled up on his knees, unbuttoning his black grosgrain cassock.
- It’s nothing like that, my dear, that we’ll  you to undress.  And you need did be  could steam in the bathhouse.  When a person is clean it is best for him to die.  One moment and away with all this bakhterma from you, and you  just like a bird your wings will spread.

At priest fine linen underwear.  Solomin carefully untied the ankle straps.
- In the lopoten, only murderers kill, but we don’t kill, we execute.  And execution, my dear, is a great thing.

One officer asked for a cigarette.  The commandant gave it.  The officer lit a cigarette and, pulling his eyebrows together, calmly squinted from the smoke.
- Our the shooting down execution you'll will not improve transport and solve the food issue.

Srubov heard and became even more angry.

The other two were undressing, as if in the dressing room, laughing, chatting about trifles, it seemed they didn’t notice anything, didn’t see and didn’t want to see.  Srubov looked at them carefully and realized that this was just a masquerade - both of them had dead, dilated with horror eyes.

The fifth did be the woman, a peasant woman, she undressed, calmly crossed herself and stand under revolver.

And with the cigarette, did thete  having angered Srubov, did not want to turn own back spinal.
- I ask you to shoot me in the forehead.

Srubov cut him off:
- I can’t break the tradition - we only shoot in the back of the head.  I order you to turn around back spinal.

A naked officer has a weaker will.  Turned around and here he saw a lot of holes in the wood of the door.  And he to wanted to become a little, little fly, slip into one of these holes, hide, and then find some crack in the basement and fly out into the wild.  ( In Kolchak’s army, he dreamed of ending his service as a corps commander - a full general.  )

And suddenly that hole that he had chosen for himself became a huge hole.  The officer easily jumped into there and died.  The pupil in his right open eye was as wide and uneven as the new hole in the door from the bullet that had pierced his head.

Holy Father Vasily's belly is like dough that has fallen out of the kneading bowl onto the floor.  ( Father Vasily never thought of becoming a bishop, but becoming an archdeacon was counting. )

They were all dragged by the legs at ropes into a dark corner.  All of them - each in their own way - dreamed of living and being someone.  But is it worth talking about this when only three or four pounds of fresh meat are left from each of them?

The next five were not brought in until the blood be was washed  up and all the corpses were removed.  The security officers were rolling cigarettes.

- Efim, like a toad, do you always  fiddling around with them?  - the square Boge asked.  Solomin rubbed his finger under his nose.

- Why tease them and get angry at them?  they  are enemys until them are caught.  And here he are a dumb brute.  I at home, when the catles had to be beaten, it was always with affection.  I come up, pet it, stend, Burenka, stend.  And  she  stend.  And that’s what I need, then and it’s convenient for me.

In shooting there were five shooters: Efim Solomin, Vanka Mudynya, Semyon Khudonogov, Alexey Bozhe, Naum Nepomnyashchikh.  None of them noticed that there was a woman in the last five.  Everyone saw only five pairs of bloody carcasses of meat.

From them three shot like a automatguns.  And their eyes were empty, with a dead glassy shine.  Everything they did in the basement was done almost involuntarily.  They waited for the condemned to undress and stand up, mechanically raised their revolvers, fired, ran back, and replaced the shot clips with a new.  They waited for the corpses to be removed and new of prisoners ones to be brought in.  Only when the senteced screaming and resisted did the blood of three foam with burning anger.

Thereupon they cursed, attacked with  fists and the handles of their revolvers.  And thereupon, raising the revolvers to the backs of the naked heads, they feel a cold trembling in their hands and in their chests.  This is out of fear for a mistake,  wounded.  It was necessary to kill outright.  And if the unfinished man squealed, coughed, and spat blood, then it became stuffy in the basement, and they wanted to leave and drink until he lost consciousness.  But there was no strength.  Someone huge and powerful forced they to hastily raise them hand and finish off the wounded man.

This is how Vanka Mudynya, Semyon Khudonogov, and Naum Nepomnyashchikh shot.

For Alexei Bozhe, all this exsicution and domination of prisoners brought pleasure as a way of self-realization and satisfaction of self-worth.   Here he not only carried out his official duties, but did it with passion to showed initiative.

Only Efim Solomin felt free and easy.  He knew for sure that it was as necessary to shoot the prisoners as it was necessary to slaughter cattle.  And just as he could not be angry at the cow, which was obediently exposing its neck to him for a knife, so he did not feel any anger towards the condemned, who turned their open heads towards him.

But he had no pity, compasion for those being shot.  Solomin knew that they were enemies of the social revolution.  An he, Solomin served the revolution willingly, conscientiously, as server to a good master.  He didn't shoot, but worked.  In the end, it doesn’t matter to her who shot and how.  She Revoliution only needs to redistribute rights, privileges, income, property and destroy enemies  of this ideology.

After the fourth five, Srubov ceased to distinguish the faces and figures of the condemned, to hear their screams and moans.  Smoke from tobacco, from revolvers, steam from blood and breath - a foul fog.  White bodies was glucing by, writhing in death throes.  The living was crawled on their knees and asking mercy.  Srubov was silent, looked and smoked.

They dragged the executed people toout.  They covered the blood with earth.  A undressed livings  turneding the undressed deads.  Fivers after fivers.

At the dark end of the basement, one other security officer tooked  lowered from above into the hatch the hinges, did putined them on the necks of the executed and did shouted to the abovemans:
- letdrag up  !

Corpses with dangling arms and legs rose to the ceiling and disappeared.  And they led and led the living into the basement, defecating at their underwear out of fear, sweating out of fear, crying out of fear.  And the steel legs of the trucks all stomped and stomped.  With muffled sighs from the dungeon into the courtyard and are did drage,  and did drage.

The commandant approached Srubov and  say:
- At us here a mashine, Comrade Srubov.  The plant is mechanical.

Srubov nodded his head and remembered the fiery hall of the courtyard.  The hall is spinning, throwing people from basement to basement.  And all over the house there are lights and cars knocking.  Hundreds of people are busy around the clock.  And then rrr-ah-rr-rrr-ah.  Automatic drills drill into skulls with a loud clang and crunch and red sawdust splashes.  The brain flies  wich blood clots from the skulls  as the ground that they drill or pierce when they to dig an artesian well or find oil. Sometimes the  steel drills have to go through entire thicknesses of stone, veins of ores... through bone layers of skulls and mushy quagmires of brains in order to drill, get to clean land. And  there are geysers of blood in the sewers and pits. The basement is breathes and is stuffyd with blood and caustic human excrement.  And fog, fog wich smoke.

The lamps stare from the ceiling with blinding fiery eyes.   On walls cold perspiration.   The earthen floor beats feverishly.   Yellow-red, sticky, stinking jelly stands underfoot and  air  heavy with lead and it heavy to breathe.   Manufacturing, plant mechanical.

Rrr-ah-rrr-rrr-ah!  And  are dragged.
- A-ah-i-i.  V-i-n-i !
Are dragged.
- I have valuable testimony.  Stop the shooting. Fuck-ah-rr.
Are dragged.

-  undress, becomes, face at wall.
- Ah-ah-ah.  Ooo.
R-a-ahah.
Are dragged.

- Long live lord Emperor.  Shoot, you red bastards.  Lord have mercy.  Down with the communists.  God have mercy me.  And I did shooted to you'll too, red pigs.
Rrr-rrr.
Are dragged.

- I  innocently dying.  Oooh.
- Drop it.
Rrr.
Are dragged.

No. plea to you.
Rrr-u-u-hhh.
Are dragged.

Vanka Mudynya, Semyon Khudonogov, Naum Nepomnyashchikh are deathly pale, weariled unbuttoning their sheepskin coats with sleeves reddened with blood.   Alexey Bozhe is a maniac with the whites of his eyes inflamed from bloody excitement, with a face splattered with blood, with yellow teeth, a red snarl of his lips, and a mustache covered in black soot.

Efim Solomin with efficiency, serious and imperturbable, rubbing under his snub nose  removing clots of blood from his mustache  beard, and did straightene  visor which had come off halfway from his green cap with a red star.

But is she interest in this, her  The Ideas of Social Revolution?   She only needs to force to kill ones, order others to die, and that’s all.   And the security officers, and Srubov, and the condemned, were all insignificant pawns, small cogs in this spontaneous run of the factory mechanism.   In this factory, coal and steam are this Her angry power, the mistress here She - cruel and to everyone to the security officers own way  beautifel. 

And Srubov was wrapped in a black fur coat, wich red fur hat, in the gray smoke of an undying pipe, felt Her breath.  And from the feeling of the proximity of that new intense energy, he muscles jerked, he veins tightened, blood to did run faster.  For Her and in Her interests, Srubov is ready to do anything.  For Her, murder is in a joy.  And if necessary, he will not hesitate to put bullets in the backs of the anyone heads himself, and if even one the security officer will try to be a coward, try to retreat from performing his official duties, he will immediately kill him on the spot.  Srubov is full of joyful determination.

All for Her and all for Her sake - The Idea of Social Revoliution.

But there were i oslozhneniya.  The handsome young guardsman did not want to undress.  He curled his thin aristocratic lips and sneered:
- I'm used to being undressed by lackeys.  I won't do it myself. 
Naum Nepomnyashchikh angrily poked him in the chest with the muzzle of his revolver.
- Take off your clothes, bastard.
- Give me the lackey.

Nepomniachtchi and Khudonogov grabbed the stubborn man by the legs and threw him down.   Next to them,  half-strangled, unconscious  General Treukhov - he wheezed, gasped out of breath, croaked.   His throat hisse so, as if water was escaping into hot sand.

He also had to be undressed before as finishing off.   Solomin spat and turned away as he undressed him out pants with red lamps.
  - Ugh!   why you don’t  to die as all peopls, the bastarden, why you did crap into clothes.

And The Guardsman, undressed, stood in a pose, put his hands on his chest and declared proudly:
  - I won’t back spin in front of any scum.   Red basterds, shoot The Russian Officer in the chest.
  And spat in Khudonogov’s eyes.

Khudonogov, in a rage, thrust the long barrel of Mauser into the officer’s lips and  breaking down the white plate of his clenched teeth, fired.

The officer helplessly jerked his head and  wave arms and fell backwards.  In convulsions, the body began to play with the marble muscles of the athlete.  For one minute Srubov felt sorry for the handsome man.  One day he such felt sorry for a powerful stallion welking in the street with a broken leg.  Khudonogov wiped the spit off his face with his sleeve.  Srubov sternly:
- Do not be nervous.

Both imperiously and irritably:
- The nextig five.  To swift .  Do not starting a drooling.

Of next the fiving only two women and warrant officer Skachkov remained.  He so and no cut his own throat.  And already naked, he still held a small shard of glass in his hands.

A full-breasted, lop-bottomed lady with a high hairstyle was trembling and did not want to go to the “wall.”   Solomin took her arm:
  - Don't be afraid, my dear.   Don't be afraid, my beauty.   We're not will doing anything bad to you.   Look, here's another woman.

The naked woman  gave in to the persualion  clothed man, and with trembled her well-groomed legs, she to walked on the warm sticky mucus of the floor. Solomin,  with a concerned face carefully convoing acompanied her  to 'wall'.

The other is tall blonde, covered herself down to her knees with her loose hair wich eyes are blue, wich eyebrows are thick and dark, to say in a very childish voice and stuttered a little:
- If only you kn-knew, c-comrades as I want to live. Comrades as I wanting to live...

And from eyes pouring such deep of blue on everyone, so what The security officers do not can raise their revolvers.  The security officers eyes - coals  and from the heart to the feet there is an aching, sweet languor.  The commandant was silent.  Five men stood motionless with cocked revolvers. Them eyes are fixed on she, and  became quiet such what could be heard as perspiration dripper from the ceiling and crashed on the floor with soft .

The smell of blood and fresh meat awakened the animal and earthy spirit in Srubov.   He wanted grab, squeeze this blue-eyed one, dig into her area with your claws and teeth,  to choke in a salty red stupor... But the One he loved, whom he promised, was here, and how He could the  'the Social Revolution' it's the High Social Nonsense, how could the wanted Absurd Idea did haved comparing with this blue-eyed one gerl?   This is unthinkable, absurd.

And therefore - decisively two steps forward, Black Browning out of  pocket and right between the dark arches of the eyebrows, into the white forehead, a nickel-plated bullet.  The young woman sank with whole body stretched out on the floor.  Bloody corals swirled like a snakes on she forehead and on brown hair.

Then Srubov do not lowering ar hand and do shoot to temple of the stunned ensign Skachkov, who is stunned by what is happening.   A full-breasted lady faints nearby, unconscious, hi do bent over her and, with a point-blank bullet, tore off the lid of she skull with the lush hairstyle.

Browning into pocket, and two stepp back.  At the dark end of the basement, corpses were climbing on top of each other towards the ceiling.  The blood did flows from them to the bright end in streams and tired Srubov saw the red river.  In the intoxicating fog everything turned red.  Everything except corpses.  Those are white.

And there are red lamps on the ceiling.  Chekists in all red.  And in their hands they do  have not revolvers -  axes. And  not  Corpses  fall at floor - white birchs. Elastic bodys of the white birchs.  Life stubbornly resists in them.  They chop them down - they bend, crack, and when they fall, they crunch with a groan and their dying branches tremble on the ground.

Red Security Officers throw white logs into the red river, make from them rafts at the red river, and they themselves chop and chop.  Fiery sparks from they impacts.

The red river gnaws at the brick banks with bloody teeth of foam.   Rafts from white birch trunks float in a lines.  Each of five logs.  On each one has five security officers, and he Srubov jumps from raft to raft, gives orders, commands.

And after, when at night, exhausted red insomnia, with red, inflamed eyes, the river began to tremble of the pre-dawn trembls, and its bloody waves lit up with a dazzling light the red blood of the white birches flared as sparkling fiery and it wasn’t the floor that was shaking with fever - it was the volcano that was erupting and rumbled.

- Trrr-ah-rrr-uh-rrr.

The walls of the basement washed away and destroyed.  The courtyard, streets, and city are flooded, the burning lava flows and flows,  and Srubov was thrown to an unattainable height by the waves of fire.  The bright, shining space blinds him eyes.  But there is no fear or hesitation in the heart.   Srubov the stands firmly, with his head raised, in the thunder of the earthquake, eagerly peering into the distance.
And  There is only one thought in my head - about Her, The Idea of ​​social public redistribution of income, privileges, resources, property.

II

The moon was feverish.  Both from this fever and from the frost the moon trembled with smal.  And her breath was a tremblin of transparent sparkling haze around her.  Above the ground it thickened with clouds of dirty cotton wool and on the ground it smoked with fresh milk.  In the courtyard, chilly blue snowdrifts huddled in rows in the milk of fog.  In the blue snow, sticking in rags to the window sills, hanging in rags from the roofs, the frozen white three-story, many-eyed walls turned blue homes.

And in this pale fever, the silhouettes of two people in dark ellou sheepskin coats, standing on a truck, descending into the black throat of the basement of a loop of ropes and waiting with bent backs, with arms outstretched forward.

The basement exhales, coughs:
  -  To pull-o-u-t-i-i.

And pull on ropes pull  the corpses, exhaled or spat out from a steaming throat with viscous, bloody blue-yellow, warm saliva of basement and did walking on them, did trampling on them smearing the truck body with  viscous bloody saliva of fikalies.

When the hunched backs of the corpses, freezing and turning blue like snowdrifts, became higher than the sides, then they were covered with a tarpaulin as gray as fog and trampled underfoot, getting bogged down and breaking their backs.    In this crunch of bones, in the clang of iron, in the snorting breath of the engine, in the bloody-black sweat of oil and blood, the truck went through the gates to the cemetery, shaking the streets, houses and waked up, geted out from the beds  all-knowing ordinary habitants.

Did wakeds up habitans did pressed their sleepy noses against the frozen glass and in the trembling of knees, in the trembling of beds, in the clanking of dishes and windows, them sleepy, festering eyes opened with fear and sleepy, stinking mouths whispered  in powerlessmalice:
  - Cheka... From Cheka... Cheka  its goods  gating outing...

And at the yard, too, the very tired were breaking the blue humps of snowdrifts with a crunch - Srubov, Solomin, Mudynya, Bozhe, Nepomnyashchikh, Khudonogov, the commandant, two with shovels and the guards, who there was no one left  convoyng.   Solomin walked with Srubov next to him.   The rest are behind.   Solomin has blood on the right sleeve of his overcoat, on the right side of his chest, on his right cheek like soot.   He spoke in a fallen, but cheerful voice, speaking as people say who have received satisfaction from great, difficult, but important and useful work.
  - If that tall, handsome one, whose we was shoting into mouth  , but mated with the blue-eyed gerl, it would yield good fruit.

Srubov looked at him.  Solomin spoke calmly and waved his hands in a businesslike manner.  Srubov thought: “Who is he talking about?”  But I realized it about was shoted people.  With tired eyes he only  that the security officer had a bunch of crosses, icons, and amulets on his left hand.  He asked mechanically:
- Why do you need them, Efim?
Solomin smiled brightly:
- This to for my kids for play, Comrade Srubov.  Toys are not on sale now, there is nothing in stores for children.

And here Srubov remembered that and he haved a son, Yurgis, Yustasik, Yukhasik.

From behind, were swearing with laughter, and they was remembered those who were shot.
- The priest signed... And the general... Srubov yawned tiredly, turned around.
- It's always easier to killing shot the cheerful ones,  like man  in pensne, than those who howl...
This is Naum Nepomnyashchikh.  Bozhe agree wich him and don’t.

They spoke with sportness, with their heads raised.  Srubov was understanding that all this was feigned and ostentatious.  Everyone is dead tired.  and their heads were raised, because they seemed to be made of lead, and did not keep up straight.  And swearing just to cheer myself up.  The word came to mind - doping.

Srubov to get to his office  a very long time .  Locked himself in the office room.  He turned the key and looked carefully at the door handle - clean, not dirty.  Looked at the hands near the lamp - there was no blood.  He sat down in the chair and immediately jumped up, bent over the seat - it was also clean. And there was on eit  his of sheepskin coat and his hat also no blood.

He opened the fireproof cabinet, pulled out a quarter of the alcohol from behind the papers, poured exactly half glass. Alcohol he did diluted with boiled water from a carafe and shake the cloudy liquid in front of the fire.   Looked tensely through the glass - there was nothing red.  The liquid gradually became transparent.

He brought the glass to his mouth and again in his rememory this word - doping.  Only when he drank and walked around the office did he notice that from the door to the table, from the table to the closet and back to the door,  went in a red dotted line, closing into an acute triangle, this was his footprints.

And now one moment  bronze trinkets began to stare impudently on hi from the desk , the steel sofa disdainfully raised its thin bent legs and Karl Marx from portrete from the wall, defiantly to did showing him his white shirt . Srubov saw it and got angry.
- White shirts, Comrade Marx, damn you.  Angrily, with pain, he grabbed a quarter bottle of alcohol, glass and walked heavily to the sofa.

'Look at him, aristocrat. Here to you .'-
he purpose didn't take off his  boots.  Stretched and boot heels into the armrest.  There is dirt, blood and snow sputum on the ash blue upholstery.  Quarter, he to did puted on the floor and the glass next to it.  And own myself want to into the river, into the sea, head, and that’s it, wash it all away.  Already lying down, he to half glass of hot, undiluted spirit was put into mouth.  And in the brain, drunk from alcohol, from the basement stupor, from fatigue, from insomnia, almost madhen, almost incoherent thoughts:
- And why, exactly, Marx’s white shirt?

Some of them, of these aristocratic intellectuals - more moderate and liberal - wanted to give Her an abortion, others - more reactionary and more decisive - a caesarean section, the most active, the most radical attempted to murder Her. Her 'The Social Ideology Marxism' and her child - the justification   for the domination of the defective over the more developed and progressive - Ideology.   And wasn’t that what they did in France, where she, a woman, great, healthy, blooming, was dressed in velvet, in diamonds, in gold and turned into an insignificant, barren, weak-willed kept woman of evolution.

His agitated brain painted him pictures of disjointed memories, reality and fictional subreality: a small office in which there is little air and a lot of tobacco smoke, vodka fumes, stinking human sweat, in which the desk is covered in papers - clean and written on, in bottles - empty and unopened with alcohol, with vodka, whips - belt, rubber,  wire, rubber-wire-lead, in revolvers, in bebuts, in checkers, in grenades.

Whips, revolvers, grenades, rifles, bebutes on the walls and on the floor, on people sitting at the table and sleeping under it and around it.  During the interrogation, the whole room, drunk or hungover, attacks the interrogated person with belts, with rubber, with wire, with lead, with iron, with empty bottles, tears his body to shreds, flogs him bloody, roars and pokes  with dozens of fingers and barrels of rifles with threats.

What is the All-Soviet Extraordinary Commission - this is another office.   This office has a desk covered in green cloth and neatly folded papers.   Srubov imagined himself either in the guise of a captain or in the guise of a colonel at this table, scented with expensive perfume, always polite, always delicately, puting out the cigarette butts into the physiognomy of those being interrogated and signing death warrants.

Well, here you have Marx’s white shirt, this sofa, the prim cleanliness of the trinkets on the table.
Well, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes... Yes... Yes... Yes... But... But and but...

A bullet it sweet - in the forehead of the beast.   But to crush the worm, who not fit into the understanding of the fictitious activity,  the wretched, bestial understanding of Soviet activists from the depths of the masses ? to crush the worm who understanding which contradicts the goals of socialist activity,  take under the complete and global control of the consciousness of the masses and manipulated by them to promote the desired vector of redistribution of rights, privileges, incomes, property?   What is to crush the worm when hundreds of these worms crunch under your feet and bloody pus them splashes on your boots, on your hands, on your face?

But the Ideology is not an idea, it is the living organism.   A great pregnant woman who is nurturing her ideal of a new social world order and is to give birth.   Yes Yes Yes...

But for the slush intelligentsia, brought up on Roman togas and in Church robes, she, the ideology of public social reorganization is, of course, a barren goddess with dead  facial features in an ancient or crach chlamys.   Sometimes the slushy aristocracys,  she is even depicted this way on revolutionary banners and posters.

But for Srubov, She is a pregnant woman, Asian wide- arsh bottomed, in a torn, patched, dirty, lousy canvas shirt.   And he loved her as she was, not fictional, naturional.   He loved she for the fact that in Her veins, a gigantic, like a river, flaming paw, that in Her intestines there is a healthy rumbling, that Her stomach like a blast furnace, that the beating of Her heart is like the underground volcano. He loveb her what She, in great thought, scraping out wich self off  ascoroids, worms and other parasites.  into the depths of the sea them with cast-iron cannonballs on their legs, into ravines with boarded up with earth and twisted arms, into basements broken skulls...  and a archangels will opened their mouths in  surprise !

'And for this reason -Srubov convinced himself - we musted, we must, we must, we must pressing them, pressing them, crush them.  We what tobe need was just that its bloody fabric was developing on wind, and only that no one was stopping from idealizing theft, robberys, violences, murders.   But the pus from them, pus, pus.    And here is Marx's white shirt again.' 
And from the street, the icy frost sticks to the window and breaks the frame, and the thermometer, which the merchant Innokenty Pshenitsyn had previously looked at, drops to minus forty-seven.

It’s a muddy dawn in the office of Innokenty Pshenitsyn, now Srubov. The House of Innokenty Pshenitsyn, now Gubchek. And the Gubchek does not know, does not notice dawns, dusks, nights, days - it clatters with typewriters, rustles paper, shuffles with dozens of feet, slams doors, does not sleep around the o'clocks.

And in cellars No. 3, 2, 1, where Innokenty Pshenitsyn stored heads of cheese, heads of sugar, sausages, wine, canned food, now it’s different.  In No. 3, in the semi-darkness, on the shelves replacing bunks, heads of cheese - the heads of those arrested, sausages - sausages of arms and legs, and red fat rats with long bare tails scurry cautiously, stealthily.

If the arrested fell into a light, trembling sleep, the rats   with the sensitive fluttering of their whiskers, nostrils and the sharp shine of their eyes,  explore the air, unmistakably identify those who sleep soundly, and gnaw their shoes.  Such, from the defendant Nevedomskaya they did eaten her tall, warm galoshes.    The good were hopeless damaged, and, but after her execution they could have been or simple appropriated or appropriated and sold at a local flea market.

And in basement No. 1, when the corpses have already been removed, these same rats, squealing, cheep, fighting, lick, gnaw out human blood from the earthen floor, and their tongues are red, greedy, hot like tongues of fire, and their teeth are sharp, white,  stronger than stone, stronger than concrete.   There is no the rats only in basement No. 2. In basement No. 2 do not keeping people for a long time, there  do not shooting executions.   A defendants are put in basement No. 2 on few hours before the execution.

And in the damp fog of frost, in the haze of dawn, on a white three-story building there is a signl in blood red spots and it says in red on and black : 'Extraordinary Commission of province of Lithuania.'   Below in parentheses it is more concise and clearer (Gubchek).   And earlier, in gold on black: 'Wine. Gastronomy. Groceries. Innokenty Pshenitsyn.'

Above the house, a velvet, heavy, blood-swollen red banner splashes in the wind with bloody splashes of frayed fringe and tassels.  And, shaking the streets, houses and the cemetery, the last gray truck in the bloody black sweat of blood and oil is carrying security officers with iron shovels and when he stomps his heavy steel feet on street,Above the house, a velvet, heavy, blood-swollen red banner splashes in the wind with bloody splashes of frayed fringe and tassels.  And, shaking the streets, houses and the cemetery, the last gray truck in the bloody black sweat of blood and oil is carrying security officers with iron shovels and when he stomps his heavy steel feet on street, are trembles of  stone houses of city and them habitans.

III

At night, a white stone three-story house with a beautiful flag on the roof, with a red slangs on the wall, with red stars on the caps of the sentries peered into the city with hungry shiny quadrangular eyes of the windows. Hi grinned the frozen teeth of cast-iron lattice gates and grabbed, chewed armfuls habiten of city, swallowed them with gulps of cellars, digested in the stone belly and with phlegm, saliva, excrement spat out up  into the street.  And by dawn, yawning the creaking of his cast-iron teeth and jaws, he showed from the gateway out red tongues of blood.

In the mornings, the quadrangular eyes of the windows dimmed and turned black,  the blood of the flag, the singls, the stars on the caps of the sentries glowed it was getting, the bloody tongues from the gateway licked the sidewalk, the road, and the legs of trembling passers-by.  And the house, with its obsessive, persistent metal tentacles of wires, probed around the city houses with colorful signs of Soviet institutions. There were no other institutions in the city.

- They say from Gubchek of Lithuania.  Report immediately... From Gubchek.  Within twenty-four hours, imagine to us... Gubcheka proposes urgently, on personal responsibility... Today, before the end of jobday, give Gubcheka explanation... Gubcheka demands...

And so to everyone.   And all the houses with colorful signs of Soviet institutions, large and small, stone and wooden, spread out their black ears of telephone receivers, listened attentively, and hastily making as required by the Cheka - immediately, now, at twenty-four before the and of  a job day.   This tradition has been preserved to this day throughout the entire post-Soviet space, where now commercial and public institutions are the property of former and current Soviet leaders. And today, even in important public positions, public and officials persons from post soviet union space in the offices of Strasbourg or the states of the European Union, they do not change their innation instincts.

And in Gubchek - people armed with rifles stood on every platform, in every corridor, at every door and in the yard. People in leather jackets, cloth tunics, service jackets armed with revolvers, sat at tables with papers, ran around the rooms with briefcases. Young ladies unarmed, beautiful and ugly, well and poorly dressed did  hammer about typewriters. Commissioners, agents, Red Army soldiers of the Cheka battalion smoked, talked in the smoke of the commandant's room. Servants from the dining room Cheka carried liquid tea on a tray to departments in red clay glasses with sweets  made of rye flour and molasses. Visitors in torn fur coats (a visitors always went to Cheka in rags. Those who didn’t have their own taking them from friends) timidly took passes and as a witnesses were impatiently waiting for interrogation, every visitors were afraid turned becase from witnesses into a accuseds and  tobe arrested.

At every morning in Srubov’s office there on his desk is a gray pile of packages .  The envelopes are different - white, yellow, from newsprint, from old archival files.  A addresses wraiting there is and a dashing clerical handwriting, and with a flourish, and illiterate scribbles, and nervous intellectual script, and carefully ladies' handwriting and even squares of typewriter font.  Srubov quickly vskryval envelopes:

- It wouldn’t hurt to pay Gubchek’s attention... Dvoezhenstvo.  Undermining the authority of the party... Well-wisher.
- I, as an ideological communist, cannot... this is an outrageous phenomenon:
some visitors say to the servants - young lady, darling, whereas now is the Soviet government and need talking 'comrade', and you, as...
It is necessary should know this...

Srubov filled his pipe, sat more comfortably in the chair.  A package with the inscription 'top secret', 'to personal tohands'.  Newsprint.   Opened the onvelope.
'I found a foto the 3rd roti commander of the white Galicia...'
Further on, on a white sheet of writing paper, there are discussions about what Kolchak did in Siberia and what the Soviet government is doing.  At the very end there is a conclusion:
'...and therefore him ( company commander ) need will indirectly destroy him, he interferes with the work of offending the workers and peasants, and prohibits Red Army soldiers from wellcome greeting  each other  friendly handshake. Political Commissar Pattykin.'

Srubov wrinkle and did chupcked on his pipe.
Other envelope:
  In watercolor on ivory paper there is a black grave mound with a stake stuck into mound.   Below is the inscription: “Death to the blood dreenking security officers...”
  He pursed his lips in disgust and threw it into the trash.

Another envelope:
'Comrade Chairman, want to datebathe you, because the security officers are very attractive. They all wear leather jackets with velvet collars, they always have revolvers on their sides and they are very brave, and there are red stars on their chests... I will be waiting for you...'

Srubov laughed and empty out his pipe onto the cloth of the table.  He threw the letter and began to brush away the burning tobacco.  There was a knock on the door.  Without waiting for permission, Alexei Bozhe entered.  He put his big red hands on the edge of the table and stared at Srubov with unblinking red eyes and sked firmly, aske:
- we today tobe shotting ?

Srubov understood, but for some reason he asked again:
- What?
- the exicution to shoting.
- And what?

God's quadrangular, flat, cheekbone-like face twitched with displeasure, his black fused eyebrows moved, the whites of his eyes turned red.
- You know yourself.

Srubov knew that security officers languish painfully when they do not have the opportunity to exicution shoot or be present at executions for a long time.  He knew that this profession leaves an indelible mark on every person, develops special professional (peculiar only to this profession) character traits, and to a certain extent determines spiritual needs, inclinations and even physical needs.  And Bozhe - an old security officer, and in the Cheka he was always only an executioner.
- There is no strength to endure, Comrade Srubov.   The second week goes by without any work.   I will be   drunking, do whatever you want.

Bozhe, quadrangular, square, with a thick neck and low forehead, he was marking time and did not take his inflamed red eyes of maniak off Srubov.

And Srubov has a thought about Her.   About the idea, ideology of redistribution of social and material goods.   - This She destroys her enemies.   But She is also wounded.   After all, this is Her blood, this Bozhe.   And She blood is zombie blood that came out of wound.   She inevitably turns black, turns into a monster and dies.   A person who turns a means into an end loses human dignity and decays.   She, it's essentially insignificant, but great only as a means of acquiring undeserved social and material benefits with Her, on Her path.   Without Her, outside of Her, all crimes of any regime lose their meaning and turn into ordinary criminal crimes.   And from Srubov has not pity for Bozhe, no sympathy.
  - If you get drunk, I'll throw you to basement.

Without knocking on the door, without permission enter, the swaying gait  Vanka Mudyn entered with  and stood at the table next to Bozhe.
- Did called me.  I showed up.
But he doesn’t look Srubov in the eyes - he’s offended.
- Are you drinking, Vanka?
- Drinking.
- Will throwin in the basement.

Mudynia’s cheeks flushed as if from a slap in the face.   His hands nervously fiddle at his jacket, and his voice was more painful than resentment:
  - It’s unfair, Comrade Srubov.   I, a working person, I been me since the first day of Soviet power.   And you me want are into the same hole with lousy, smelly intellectuals?
  - Do not drink.

Srubov is cold and indifferent.  Mudynya blinkef frequently up and curled his thick lips.
- Even if you put me stended the wall now, I can’t.  Shot a thousand people - nothing, didn’t drink.  And just as I killed own brother, started drinking. As  my dreem I loock him.  I tell him - get stended goto wall, my Andryusha, and he - Vansha, brother, and tgeting on knees... Oh... I dream about it every night...

Srubov is feld not feeld well.   Thoughts come in lumps, flaps, knots, fragments.   Confusion.   He can't understand anything.   Vanka drinks, robs, rapes.   Bozhe drinks, rapes, kills.   He drinks himself.   Why can't they?   (Well, yes, the prestige of the Cheka. They make are all almost  open. Yes. Then, in general, does this ideology have the right to prevent them from satisfying their needs and getting rich? And what does Ideology know about satisfying simple of instincts of humans ? Ah, She, Idea, Ideology -  Ideal? And the sweat, hostility of moral Chaos.)
  - can go.   You can’t just openly, need in such a way that there are no witnesses.

And when the door closed, he buried myself in the letter so as not to think, not to think, not to think.
'I am a central person, but... especially since he is a responsible worker... Kerosene is necessary for the Republic. And to exchange half a pound of potatoes for two pounds of kerosene for personal pleasure...'

And one after another came statements about two pounds of salt, a pound of bread, half a pound of sugar, ten pounds of flour, three nails, a pair of soles, a dozen needles, which someone exchanged with someone else, bought (whereas now the Soviet government of regime allows everything  purchase only on orders with appropriate signatures, sealed, with proper permission).  And if all this was obtained under a warrant, then the illegality of the issuance of the warrant itself and the incorrectness of its issuance were indicated.

Three or four practical message - the counter-razor is hiding under someone else’s family, furs are being systematically stolen from the warehouse of the Gubernia State Narkhoz, the punisher has infiltrated the party.   And again well-wishers, sighted, seeing, neutral, outsiders, independent.   In the rustle of paper whisper - 'bring it to the attention of those who should', and  all obsequiously lied.

In letters Each of the informers pulling Srubov in his bedroom, showing chamber pots closet (maybe the man was drunk and, perhaps, maybe the doctor could be think and establish), dirty laundry in front of him shook their own, their family’s, relatives, quaintance's and other's peopl's.   Like mice, informers penetrate into other people's cellars, undergrounds, closets, climbed in garbage dumps, and all the time they smiled ingratiatingly or made faces  the noble guardians of morality and everyone nodded their heads and asked:
  - What do you think this is ?   How is it ?   A ?   Nothing ?   Doesn’t it smack of monarchy, counter-revolution, sabotage, dissent ?   How about taking here ?    Does this correspond to the revolutionary socialist understanding ?    Does this  where to gets suspicious? No? A?

But for practick the majority of informants will refused to officially confirm their testimony in the Cheka office, calmly stepped aside and indifferently  telke that this did not concern them, that their moral duty was only to transfer this to the proper punitive authority.

Srubov in red pencil put resolutions in a denunciations from now persons of soviet civil belonging   habiten and did signed his name with the two letters A.S.. He read impatiently, quickly, through a lins.  Mostly only anonymous letters and empty statements from voluntary informants came to him.    Serious information, reports from secret agents, went directly to the intelligence department of the Cheka, Comrade Arsh Dichev.

Srubov did not finish reading the denunciations.  Tired up.  Got up and get the office with long steps from corner to corner.  The pipe went out, and he chewed on it and pulled.  The sticky mud irritated him body.  Srubov shrugged his shoulders.  He unbuttoned the collar of his uniform.  The undershirt is completely clean.  He just put on yesterday after a bath.  Everything is clean and the itselfone is clean.  But the feeling of dirt did not go away.

An expensive desk with a luxurious marble writing set.   Comfortable rich armchairs.   Cloth embroidered wallpaper on the walls.   Cold, sparkling, swaggering purity.   And Srubov feels awkward in his office.

He went to the window.  Lot persons did walked along  and drove the street.  Busy Soviet workers walked with briefcases, housewives with baskets, various Soviet a slaves with and without bags.   Only people with briefcases and people with red stars on their caps and sleeves were driving, and Soviet animal-like people were trudging between the sidewalks with loaded sleds.

And this whole moving street is hundreds of sensitive nerve-wires to his office.   He has a lot of voluntary informants, a staff of permanent secret agents, and together with each of them he spies, eavesdrops, cheats, robs, steals and kills.   He is constantly aware of other people's thoughts, intentions, and actions.   He has many common interests with all diaporas, clans of Soviet speculators, bandits, corrupt officials and socialists.   And where his people do mischief, cause dirt, he is obliged to lend a helping hand and contribute information, clean up, remove witnesses, and also authoriness and populariness persons not loyal to the Soviet regime.

In his brain, a foreign word emerged letter by letter and stretched into a banner of slang ( similar words have been running through his head all the time lately ): The A-s-s-e-n-i-z-a-t-o-r.

Srubov grinned - The Assenizator of the revolution.   Of course, he had almost no dealings with people, only with scum.   They do neglect the revaluation of value.   What was valuable before, before the revolutionary socialist takeover, has now become absolutely unnecessary and had no value.   Where the rabid people attached to the camp Soviet regime worked, he had nothing to do.   His attention is to catch in the bloody muddy river of revolution rubbish, disloyal, doubting scum, a reality of contryng ng to the common sense of miserable, everything that is above revolutionary understanding and thereby prevent pollution sovieh habitans, poisoning of pure subsoil springs of  'the Soviet ideology' as metod socialnogo raspredeleniya dohodov, blag,  privilege.  And the long word 'The Assenizator' remained in He head.

...Mudynya, Bozhe - both are seasoned front-line soldiers, faithful, true comrades.  At both has the Order of the Red Banner.   Ivan Nikitich Smirnov knew them the from the eastern front and it was about them that he said: 'With such people we will win...!'

But vodka?    And you?    And what significance do we all have - me, Mudynya, God, well, everyone and everything... Yes, what significance does our personal, all of have for the Idea, justified by Idealistic Ideals?

And this is a letter from him father, received two days ago.   Of course, father’s maybe thoughts are not his own... 'Imagine that you yourself are erecting the building of your destiny with the goal of making people happy, building on their misfortunes your own and your comrades’ well-being and thereby giving them peace and tranquility, turning them into dumb, thoughtless slaves  organized crime group?   and if for this it is necessary to torture just one sane tiny creation and to found this building on his pain, torment, and tears, do you think this is progress?   I, your father, answer - no, never... You think to erect the building of a prison of human destinies on the millions of tortured, executed people... You are mistaken... They will abandon own the future for you, and your children and your grandchildren, and you lose everything that is  of this blood will be created...'

Srubov did not notice how the impatient Arsh Dichev approached the table and sat down.   Arsh coughed impatiently, Srubov shuddered.    He sat down in a chair and mechanically invited Arsh to sit down.    He listened and did not hear what Arsh was saying, and looked at him with empty, absent eyes.

When Arsh said what was needed, got up, and was about to leave, Srubov asked:
   - Do you ever, Comrade Arsh, think about the unascking of terror?    Have you ever felt sorry for those who were shot, or rather, those being dod shotd? like their childrens, relatives, loved ones?

Arsh in a black leather franchise, in black leather trousers, in a black wide hoop belt, in black high polished boots, shaved, neatly combed, looked at Srubov with stubborn, cold blue eyes.   And his Jewish nose with a hump, his sharp quadrangular chin upward.   The fist of the left hand is in the pocket like a cobblestone, the wide palm of the right is on the holster of the revolver.
  - I am a worker, you are an intellegent.   I have hatred, you have ideology.

He didn't say anything more.   Didn't like abstract conversations.   Grew up he in a family of alcoholics, practically in a factory.  Hardly saw my parents - my mother is a prostitute, my father is a joker and drunk.    For ten years, the belts hissed like snakes above him head,  he gritted my teeth, heard clicking of the cogwheels of life.   No time to talk.   Need hurry up around living.   Became stingy with words, but thought quickly, without going into details and the consequences of his own conclusions, decisions, actions, behavior - a piece of hardware, a machine.   He left the factory in search of a cheerful life for the war, and from the war he fled into the revolution, or rather into the service of Her, the idea of ​​redistribution of material and social benefits.  But in his soul remained embittered at everyone and everything that was beyond his ability to understand - an irresponsible, illiterate, ambitious alcoholic imposing his opinion. To him and during the service in the office, one could hear the hissing whistle of belts and the clicking of the cogwheels of life.   In the office, at the table as if at lot machine. Wrote without worrying about the meaning, the content of what was written directly contradicting one another, but he wrote quickly and a lot.   Paper fliwer in shavings from his desk onto the typist's desk.  Was phone rang and he grabbed the receiver.   One ear listens, the other controls the sound of the print machine.   Interruption, stop - shouts:
  - Jobeng... Jobeng... swift !
  And he shouts into the phone:
  - Karosho.   I'm listening.

On the move, orders to the agents, on the move, two or three words sluzhashim.  Quickly, quickly.  There is no time to sit, no time to think, the plant of death is in ful work. And this business getting good.

And so, comout offis Srubov, in the corridor he grabbed one of the witnesses with his eyes like pincers, sat him in a chair and crushed him with a vice questions like hammers.
   - What?    Reliability?    Karosho.    Do you sympathize with the Soviet regime?    Fully?    Karosho.    But let's be logical to the end...

And Arsh Dichev wrote on paper what he didn’t want to say when oficial reception:
'Whoever sympathizes with the government should help give it. Will you be our secret informant?'

The witness is stunned, hi muttering half refusal and half agreement.   And Dichev is already putting him on the list and hands him a typewritten instruction sheet for secret informants.
  - Do you agree?   Karosho.   Read it.  We will giving  you status of trustworthiness.

Of course, he doesn’t trust him, like dozens of other employees.   The task of each Cheka agent is to provide and sign the information that is expected of him.   Reality he was not interested.

Into Srubov’s office with snooping, clinging steps, bowing, crouching, smiling crawled ex colonel Krutaevas.  A flabby, gray-haired, bald man, in a shabby officer's overcoat, sat down on one to side dofferently place Srubov.
- I wrote to you from prison, Comrade Srubov, about my long-standing sympathies for the Soviet regime.

The ex colonel casually to leg on leg.
- I argued and maintain that in my person you are acquiring a most valuable collaborator and a most devoted ideological communist.

Srubov wanted to spit in Krutaevas’s face, slap him, and trample him.  He restrained himself, chewed his mustache, and put his beard in his mouth.  He was silent and listened.
Krutaevas stretched his flabby lips with a sweet smile and pulled out a silver cigarette case from his pocket.
- Will you allow ?  And you ?

The excolonel stood up and, with his cigarette case open, reached across the table.  Srubov refused.

- Today I will prove this to you, ideological comrade Srubov and the most insightful my dear Gubchek.

Srubov was silent.  Twisting his hand into the side pocket of his overcoat.
- how do you like well done ?

He gave to Srubov business card of photographic.  Puffy, interesting face, captain's shoulder straps.  Orden Vladimir with swords and a bow.
- And ?
- My wife's brother. 
Srubov shrugged.
- And what's the matter?
- And his last name is my dear comrade Srubov.
- Who is he?
- Klimenko.  Captain Klimenko is the exhead of the Police Investigation Department.  Srubov did not let he finish.
- Klimenko?

Krutaevas is pleased.  The senile, fading eyes inplayng oily with a sly smile.
- You see, how mne tyazhelo, one might say, I don’t spare for your Cheka my own brother.  Srubov wrote down Klimenko’s detailed address.  The surname under which he was hiding.

As Krutaevas left, he casually said:
- Yes, dear comrade Srubov, give me two hundred rubles.
- For what?
- To compensate morally and materially for the costs of purchasing the business card of photographic.
- After all, you tooking it the from your home.
- No from friends.  Ya vam rodnogo brata prodal!
- So, did you buy the business card of photographia of Klimenko from your friends?

Krutaevas incoughed.  He coughed for a long time.  Blue veins bulged on his forehead, his thick forehead turned purple, and the eyes became watery and red.  Srubov hand has his on a marble paperweight.  In the head - raise, swing and hit the excolonel in the temple.
Finally Krytaevas cleared throat.
- For mercy, comrade Srubov, I bought it from the servants.  Exactly two hundred rubles.

Srubov threw two hundred-ruble notes onto the table.   Krutyaev took the money and offered his hand for a handshake.   Srubov pointed at the wall with his eyes: “HANDSHAKES CANCELED.”   Krutaevas again with the sly of oily smile, shuffled in a low bow and with his worn out galoshes, shuffled towards the door.  And Srubov still wanted to throw the paperweight at his hunched back.

Through the open door to Srubov's office, the noise of conversation and stomping could be heard from the corridor - the security officers were going to the dining room for dinner, and in the evening there was a committee meeting.Mudynya and God, half-drunk and smiling senselessly. Solomin, who had just returned from the search, rubbe his nose and listened carefully.  Arsh Dichev sat with the usual mask of gray indifference on his face - every day, cunning, deceiving and afraid of being deceived, he learned to take away from their faces the slightest reflection of his experiences and thoughts.     Srubov smoked his pipe and was bored.     The speaker, a political instructor of the Cheka battalion, a beardless guy, spoke about the  program for Red Army's on the housing issue. The Cheka was the structure in the department of the Red Workers' Peasant Army.

Nearby in the other room, non-party Red Workers' Peasant Army soldiers from the Cheka battalion played checkers, rustled newspapers, and smoked.  The social and other privileges at non-party not distrebiuted .  Gubchek's translator Wanda Klembrowskene play interpretation in the  piano  lento ma non troppo sonata No 2 'The Airplane'. The Red Army soldiers listen and shake their heads.
   - You won’t understand what he’s strumming.

 The sounds of piano sound like raindrops about the wall,  the ceiling, and muffled drops about the stairs.  It seems to Srubov that it is raining.  The rain breaks through the roof, the ceiling, and hits the floor with thousands of splashes.  He remembered Levitan, Chekhov, Dostoevsky.  And He was surprised: why?  And, already leaving the meeting, He realized: Klembrovskaya was playing variation 'The Airplane'.

Her hands hid her trembling in the thin folds of her dress.  Half-lowered eyelashes covered the restless shine of the eyes.  But Virga could not hide her heavy breathing and her face in the cold powder of fear.  And there are suitcases open on the floor.  On the bed there is ironed linen in rectangular piles.  The chest of drawers gaped empty drawers and them locks in them did bare flat teeth.
- Andrey, these nights when you come home pale, with the smell of alcohol and there is blood on your dress... No, it’s terrible. 
Am so I can’t Virga couldn’t cope with her excitement.  The voice was breaking.  Srubov pointed to the sleeping child:
- Quiet you.

She sat on the windowsill, with his back to the light.  The black shadow of a shaggy head and angular shoulders was smeared on the scarlet gold of the glass.
- Andryusha... You did be once so close and understandable... And now you’s always closed in on himself, always in a mask... Alien... Andryusha.
She to made a movement towards her husband,  clumsily, she sank sideways onto the bed, white pile of laundry drop to the floor.  She lowered her head into her hands.
- No I can not.  Ever since you began serving in this terrible institution, I have been afraiding of you...

Andrey did not respond.
- You have enormous, literally unlimited power, and you... I’m ashamed that I’m you wife...

She didn't finish.  Andrey quickly pulled out a silver cigarette case, hit the lid of the cigarette with the mouthpiece to case cigarette case  and, lit.
- Well, finish the.

In the old wall clock, after each stroke of the pendulum, wheezed the spring, as if someone was walking along a wooden sidewalk, dragging a sore leg. Little Yurgis was snoring on his high bed. Virga was silent. The glass in the windows became prosaically gray with a yellow coating.

The chest of drawers, beds, suitcases and baskets are become dark tumors.   Soft drapes of shadows hung in the corners, the room lost the definiteness of its lines, and became vaguely darck round.   Andrey saw only the red fire of point of his cigarette.   Another similar one poked into his heart, and his burned heart ached.
  - Are you silent?   Well, I'll say it this way.   You are ashamed that various philistine bastards consider your husband a murderer.   Yes?   Is this the reason?

Virga shuddered.   She raised her head.   She saw the sharp fire of the cigarette's red eye, and she turned away.

Andrey, without putting it out, threw away the cigarette butt and was stabbed with a small fire pin from the floor in hurt.  It hurt, as just like in Andrey’s heart.  Virga covered her face with her hands.
- Not just ordinary people... and some of comraden communists...

And she said with despair, with effort, barely audible, the last argument:
  - And I’m tired of sitting on the same ration with Yurka.   Others know how do , but you not...

Andrey crushed the cigarette with a heavy boot.  He was indignant.  He wanted to say something rude to her, he wanted to humiliate her, to spit on her.   At she who so simply spat on him and humiliated him.  Srubov was painfully ashamed that he was married to some narrow-minded, stupid bourgeois woman, a complete stranger and dangerous to him.

He flicked the switch.   Suitcases, heap of things, randomly dumped in one pile, disappeared just as and she disappeared.   Because strangers.  He began to remember my first meeting with Virga.   What drew him to this weak, ugly, stupid woman?

Yes, yes, she humiliated him, insulted him closeness, because she did pretend to be  at all.  She skillfully captured his thoughts and desires, skillfully voiced them, passing them off as her own. But is't only because he liv with this woman what that her beliefs, her thoughts are identical to the beliefs and thoughts of the he ? But not because he lived with this woman, what she to did said, what he wanted ?  Fifth year together.   Some kind of absurdity.   After all, there was something else that drew him to her? And this something is still there now, when she has already decided to finally leave him. What was this ? Srubov could not explain to himself.
  - So you are leaving forever?
  - Forever, Andrey.

And even in the voice, in the first persons - firmness.   I've never noticed her before.
  - Well, this your the will.   The world is big.   You met a man, and I will meet a partner...

And hurt in  heart.   Why does it hurt?   Because he feels something towards Virga?   Son. Son it together.  Dear to both.   And this another insult.   Murderer.   Not a word is a scourge.   It hurts unbearably, searingly.   There is a scar on the soul.   Revolution, party membership obliges - a common cause with comrades.   Yes, now is not the time to show off your loot.   A communist should be proud that he has fulfilled his duty to the party, to like-minded comrades.   Yes.   But the word, the word.   He wish could hide somewhere under the bed, in the wardrobe.   Let no one will see he.  No one.

V

Srubov saw every day the consequences of the violent redistribution of rights, privileges, income, property of the so-called proletarian revolution and every day in rags of two colors - red and gray. And Srubov thought why, in the false pathos of bourgeois, proletariats resolutions, the revolution is always red and in red. No, the color red alone cannot characterize a revolution. The fire of uprisings, the sacrifice of blood, the call to fight - the color red. Terror, hunger, poverty, robbery, takeover of property, kidnapping, violence, murder, fraud and, ultimately, totalitarian dependence on a criminal terrorist group that has usurped all branches of legislative power and law - is gray. She is red and gray. And this Red Banner is a mistake, inaccuracy, lack of agreement, self-delusion, the desire to pass off emotional Euphoria as reality. You need to add gray to red. Or maybe banner flag of revoliution should be made gray, with a red star on a gray background. Yes, and the red star - as the symbol of the dictatorship of job people and irresponsibility, impunity, permissiveness of their leaders ! There is no need to deceive anyone or create an illusion. Fewer illusions mean fewer mistakes and disappointments. More sober, targer look.

And also thought:
- Isn’t this red name sullied, not worn out, just as the understanding of the very word of a Social Democratia is worn out, sullied?
Here doesn’t the redistribution of benefits, privileges, income, takeover of other people’s merits on various belonging grounds, including social ones. And demokratiya po kakim libo priznakam prinadlezhnosti not contradict the declared goals of the revolution? Didn’t the executioners, the saboteurs of the proletariat and of proletariat liders, raise him up and did hide behind him in the Tauride and Winter Palaces, and in the buildings of the Samara Komuch? Wasn’t it wich him that Kolchak’s division fought? And Heideman, Vanderwalde, Kerensky...

Srubov was a fighter, a man with big wolf black eyes. And wolf eyes need a red and a gray, they need blood and light, otherwise they will become sad and dim.

Srubov has red, gray, gray, red, red-gray every day. Isn’t it gray and red - searches with the disturbed mothball comfort of the chests, the frightened silence of other people’s apartments and expropriations, confiscations, arrests and frightened distorted faces, dirty lines of arrested people, tears, requests, executions with split skulls and steaming heaps of brains, blood. That’s why Srubov went to the cinema, loved ballet and sat in the theater on every tour of a new ballerina.

But the theater is not only an orchestra, a ramp, a stage. Theater is also and audience. And and when the histrionics hasn't started yet or when the orchestra was late and stage was by is still closed, then the audience had nothing to do and eti - hundreds of eyes, dozens of binoculars, lorgnettes looked at Srubov. Wherever Srubov turns, there are shiny circles of glass and eyes, eyes, eyes. From binoculiars, from lorgnettes, from the eyes - rays. Their focus is Srubov. And along the stalls, along the boxes, along the gallery, whisper:
- Pre-Gubchek - ruining persons... Owner of the provincial basement... Gubernatorial executioner... Red gendarme... Soviet chasteiner... The first robber...

Srubov is nervous, turns pale, spins around in his chair, pushes his beard into his mouth, chews his mustache. His eyes darken and fill with anger. Free Soviet art, free Soviet propaganda for free Soviet employees. Worn jackets with torn shoulder straps. Former ladies in patched dresses and dirty, wrinkled boas. They whisper, bulge their eyes, shy away from he as if from the plague. Vile little souls:
And donst you write denunciations against each other? And are not writing you for us about your most devoted devotion to the Cheka and Party ? - Reptiles. There are and communists among you who have infiltrated the party, so-called socialists. Many of you sang and sing with enthusiastic cries - 'merciless revenge on all opponents. Vengeance and death... We are the right, we are the number.
We who were nothing, be everything. We did beated, we destroy them and will damned the villains.'

Now you bastards, stay away from the security officers. Security officers are second class. You are scoundrels, hypocrites, vile white-handed people, in the newspapers, you are not against terror, you realize the need for his book, you despise the security officer who carries out the tendency you recognize to translate what you want into reality. You say - the enemy of disarmad. No, he is still alive - he is not disarmed. His main weapon is his head, and you, unfortunately, are incredibly stupid and therefore turn into enemies, tirans yourself. 'He who lives at the expense of others person, from evil for drugih ljudei est criminal. This is an eternal slogan.

It's you who imagine yourself as new masters to replace the old ones and surround terrorists and socialist-revolutionaries with an aura of heroism. Aren't Sazonov, Kalshev, Balmashev the such executioners? Of course, they did it against the backdrop of beautiful scenery with pathos, in emotional outburst, and for us this is an everyday matter, work. But when it is systematic, without pathos and witout euphoria, transparently, meaningfully, this is what you all are most afraid of. We are doing a huge amount of dirty work and you need hysteria and pathos. You don't like menial laborers. You like cleanliness everywhere and in all environments, right down to the toilet, but from the sewer cleaner cleaning it turn away with contempt. You all like steaks, but butcher is a dirty word for you. But after all, all of you, from the Black Hundreds to the socialist, justify the existence of a violent redistribution of income, property, rights, privileges through execution, and shun the executioner, always portraying him as the bestial Malyuta. You always speak with disgust about persones that embodies your own driams, desires. But I'm telling you bastards and that we have a right to respect...'

Srubov did not wait until the start of the performance, he jumped up and went to the exit. Eyes, binoculares, lorgnettes from the sides, in the back, in the face. He didn’t notice what said loudly, 'Bastards', and spat.

He in homecame pale, with a twitching face. An old woman in a black dress and scarf, who opened the door, looked inquisitively and tenderly into he eyes:
- You sick, Andryusha?

Srubov's shoulders slump powerlessly. He looked at his mother with a heavily exhausted gaze, dull, melancholy eyes.
- I'm tired, mom.

Srubov down did on the bed right away. Mother rattled the tableware, she was packing dinner. But Srubov only wanted to sleep.

Srubov sees a huge machine in the dream. There are a lot of people at the machine of mashine The main this leaders, cult persons they are machinists, are all in command positions, at the top, moving the levers, turning the steering wheel, looking into the distance. Sometimes they lean over the railing, wave their arms, shout something to working below and everything shout forward, forward. The lower ones load fuel, pump water, run around with oil of cans, every they are all skinny and black with soot and dirt. And at the very bottom, near the wheels of the car, shiny disk-knives are spinning and huge iron hands are raking up the nutrient mixture they have crushed, spitting out excrement and other abomination through the anus. At them are Srubov's colleagues - security officers.

Srubov looks closely - disks are rotating in the bloody mass, and this mass is worms. The whole field is soft red worms. The knives cut and cut them. The raw red dough is raked up by the iron hands of the mechanism, and the excrement threatens to clog the machine, poison person serving and the leaders. they are separated from the general nutrient mass and spat out through the anus and trampled into the ground by wheels. The security officers do not move away from the knives and the conveyor. It smells like meat around them. The only thing Srubov cannot understand is why smells not raw meat, but fried.

And suddenly the worms turned into cows. And their heads human. Cows with human heads, like worms, crawl and crawl. The automatic disk-knives can't keep up with the job. The Chekists manually poke them in the back of the head with knives and this red dough falls inunder the machine.

One cow has blue-blue eyes. Her tail is a golden braid. She crawls to over Srubov. Srubov stab her between the eyes. The knife is stuck. The wound smells of blood and fried meat right and the smell right in his face. Srubov feels stuffy. He is suffocating.

Srubov opened his eyes. On the table near the bed was a plate with two cutlets. Next to it was a fork, a piece of bread and a glass of milk. His mother tried but failed to wake him. Srubov shouted:
- Mom, mom, why are you did put meat me?
The old woman is sleep, she couldn't hear.
- Mom!

Opposite the bed is a dressing table and in it is reflected the pale face of Srubov with a sharp nose, frightened eyes, disheveled hair and such as desheveling goatee beard. Srubov is scared. This double keeps on eye to him and repeats all his movements, and Srubov like a child, calls:
- Mom, mom.

Mama is asleep, you can't hear her. Shuffles sore leg the pendulum's and wheezed the clock. Srubov is cold, he freezes to the bed. The double has a crazy look, he alert, he on the lookout. Srubov wants to call his mother again, but he can't move his tongue, he has no voice. And only the that other one, imitating him in the mirror, silently moves his lips.

VI

Srubov's comrade from the gymnasium, university and the party underground, Isaac Katz, a member of the Gubchek Board, signed the death warrant for Srubov's father, doctor of medicine Petras Jonavich Srubov, the same Petras Jonavich, the black-bearded Moscow doctor in gold glasses who jokingly tousled the red hair of from Vilnius high school student Dichev and called him Arshljuka, and whom Arsh called Petras Jonavich.

And before the execution, undressing in the damp stuffiness of the basement, Petras Jonavich said to Arsh:
- Arshlik, tell Andrey that I died without malice towards him and towards you. I know that people are capable of fanatically justifying their criminal activity with some ideas so much that they stop thinking sensibly and separating black from white. Socialism, the distribution of goods, incomes, privileges according to some social criterion - this is a temporary phenomenon, a fit of rage, which most Rossian Peopls have now fallen into.

The naked, black-bearded doctor tilted his head in raven silver hair to one side, took off his gold-rimmed glasses, and handed them to the commandant, rubbed his hands together and stepped toward Arsh.
- And now, Arshliuka, let me shake your hand.
And Arsh could not help but shake hands with Doctor Srubov, whose eyes were, as always, kind, whose voice, as always, was velvety soft:
- I wish you, Arshlyuk, a speedy recovery. Believe me, as an old doctor, believe me as you believed as a univerboy when I treated you for scarlet fever, that your illness has afflicted all Russian peoples, is curable and over time this illness will disappear without a trace and forever. And the case of someone who has recovered, a sufficient amount of antimatter always appears. Goodbye.

The professor did not know that the destruction of the best and the promotion of the worst would give rise to a reverse process of evolution and would produce a special breed uniting all ethnic groups of the Soviet space - the homosoviet and would cross the line of their return to human form.

And Doctor Srubov, afraid of losing his composure, turned away, hurriedly, hunched over, and walked towards the 'shot wall'. And the member of the Gubchek Board, Arsh Dichev, who was obliged to be present at the shootings today, barely resisted the urge to run away from the basement.

And on the night of the execution of the doctor of medicine Patras Jonavich Srubov, member of the Board of the Gubchek Arsh Dichev was transferred by telegram to the same position of Member of the Board of the Gubchek in another city, in the one where Andrei Srubov worked. And on the very first day of his arrival, Arsh Dichev was sitting in Andrei Srubov's apartment and drinking coffee with him. And Srubov's mother, a pale old woman with black eyes, in a black dress and a black headscarf, when was making coffee, calling her son from the dining room and whispering in the dark hallway:
- Andryusha, Arsh Dichev shot your dad, and you are sitting with him at the same table.

Andrey Srubov gently touching his mother's face with the palms of his hands and whispered:
- My dear mother, my dear mother, there is no need to talk about this, no need to think about it. Make us another glass of coffee.

And he himself did not want to talk, did not want to think. But Arshliuka Dichev considered it inconvenient not to talk and he talked. He talked, stirring, clinking a spoon in a glass, carefully examining his hand, reddish in red hair, in blue veins, lowering his red curly head, leaning over the steaming coffee, inhaling its smell - strong, sharp, mixed with the soft smell of boiling milk:
- There was no way not to shoot. The old man organized Society of Ideological Struggle against Bolshevism - SISAB. He dreamed of such 'SISAB' throughout Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, and wanted to unite in them the scattered forces of the intelligentsia, who were anti-Soviet. During the investigation, he called them SiSABISTs...

He spoke, but did not raise his face from his glass. Srubov listened, slowly filled his pipe, did not look at Katz, feeling that he did not want to speak, that he was speaking only out of politeness. Srubov convinced himself that his father's execution was necessary, that he, as a communist revolutionary, had to agree with this unconditionally, without complaint. And his eyes were drawn to the hand, with its short red fingers squeezing the glass with brown liquid, to the hand that signed his father's death warrant. And, with a forced, false smile, with a heavy effort, unclenching his lips, he said:
- You know, Arshliuka, when one simple-minded Chekist asked Lithuanian nationalist during an interrogation how many people you had shot and for what, he answered: 'We, gentlemen, seem to be adults, let's talk about something more serious.' Understood?
- Okay, let's not talk.

Srubov shuddered because Arsh agreed so quickly with him that on his face, clean-shaven, red, fleshy, with a hooked transparent nose, in his eyes, green, bulging, there was a wooden indifference. And when Arsh fell silent, began to drink, swallowing loudly, Srubov's thoughts quickly-quickly, one after another, thoughts as excuse. Before whom? Maybe before Her - the Ideology of dominance of The Social Comunistic criminal terrorist group justifying and legitimizing its criminal terrorist activity, or maybe before himself. In Srubov's eyes there was pain and shame, and a desire, passionate, irresistible - to justify himself. And if there is no courage out loud, then at least to himself, mentally to justify himself, to justify himself, to justify himself.

'I know for sure that every person, and therefore my father, is meat, bones, blood. I know that the corpse of a shot person is meat, bones, blood. But why fear? Why did I become afraid to go to the basement? Why do I stare at Arsh's hand? Because freedom is fearlessness. This all from because to be free means, first of all, to be fearless. Because I am not yet completely free. But it is not my fault. Freedom and Power, Dominance of the Social Communist Groop of Party are not easy things. If you unbandage a Chinese woman's mutilated legs, she will start to fall, crawl on all fours until she learns to walk like a human, develop her legs. She may have an ocean of daring, plans, impulses, but hers legs are in the way.

Napoleon and Blindas undoubtedly had these stumps. And who among us doesn't have deformed legs? Studying and practicing is probably not enough here - you need to be reborn, grow a different skin.'

Arsh finished drinking self coffe and without lowering his glass, or he thought out loud or said to Srubov:
- Of course, what's the point of talking, crying, philosophizing. Each of us, perhaps, can whine. But us social revolution as a whole is implacable, firm and cruel. The us social class as never stops in front a corpse - it will step over it. And if you and I start to get all wet, they will step over us too.

And at this time in the Gubcheka, in basement No. 3, there is a trembling to knees, shaking of hands, clicking of teeth of one hundred and twelve people. And the commandant, who has thick sheepskin coat which red riding breeches, who has a pink, shaved face and a white sheet of paper in his hands - a list, orders one hundred and twelve arrested people to pack up out with their things.

And the trembling, and shaking, and tears, and sighs, and groans precisely because they were ordered to leave with their belongings. One hundred and twelve participated in the uprising against the Soviet power, were captured with weapons in their hands and knew that they would all be shot, all they thought that if they were takened out with their belongings, they were being taken out to be shot.

And so one hundred and twelve in black, red sheepskins, fragrant fur coats, short fur coats, in colorful dog, deer, goat, calf fur coats, jackets, in shaggy papakhas, in long-eared malakhai, in embroidered mukluks, in simple rolled-up boots, having piled up their things in a spacious commandant's room, they walk from the basement, from the dampness, from the darkness, from the rats, from the swaying and damp shelves, from fear, from the languor of death, from days of half-oblivion, from nights of insomnia, they walk into the auditorium of the Gubchek club of the VChK battalion along the light wide marble steps of the stairs, along the platforms where the sentries are like statues, and the air is saturated with electric light, heated by the dry breath of the heaters. A long, motley, hundred-headed, beast, with a soft noise of its boots, obediently crawled after the commandant to the third floor, covering all the chairs in the auditorium with its motley skin.

On the red cloth of the curtain of scene there is an inscription: 'THE SOVIET POWER DOES NOT TAKE REVENGE ON DECEIVED PEASANTS'.

According to the syllables, with difficulty they did readid it and with a hidden joyful hope they sighed, stirred, whispered. But in the green garlands of pine branches on the walls there are other inscriptions, terrible, frightening, contradictory:
'DEATH TO THE ENEMIES OF THE SOCIAL OCTOBER REVOLUTION', 'DEATH TO THE ENTENTE AND ITS SERVANTS'.

And from this, in the motley skin there is a tremor and a whisper louder, more excited:
- D-e-a-t-h... D-e-e-e-a-t-h... D-e-e-e-a-t...

The hall smelled of sweat, worn-out linen, foot wraps, sour sheepskins, and tobacco. The commandant ordered the window to be opened. And the motley shaggy animal greedily flared its nostrils, took in a full lungful of the fresh dampness of melting snow, the strong intoxication of the first cold sweat of the earth. The animal began to stir restlessly, with melancholy, creak the chairs began. The healthy the men, strong one was drawn to the ground, he wanted to bite into its black breast, to fall upon it with his large, sweaty, wet body, soaked with hard work.

And Srubov and Katz, when they entered the hall, saw on the faces, in the eyes of the arrested peasants a gray melancholy, they understood that it was from idleness, from the stuffiness of the basement, from the painful expectation of death, what this the sad about the land, on work.

Srubov quickly, with elastic, wide strides, came out onto the stage. Tall, in black leather trousers and jacket, black-bearded, black-haired, with a revolver at his side, against the red background of the curtain, he looked as if cast from cast iron. He looked boldly into the eyes of the tamed, motley, strong beast. He said his first word of address with the joy of a tamer, confident of victory:
- Comrades...

Quietly, slowly, slightly singsong. As if he stroked the stubborn, stiff fur of beast and he caused a light, tickling shudder throughout the motley skin. Like a tamer calmly opening the cage of a tamed beast Srubov calmly announced:< br /> - In an hour you all will be released.

One hundred and twelve pairs of eyes flashed with fiery, sparkling joy. The motley beast roared excitedly and joyfully. And from the window come in saloon a continuous stream of intoxicating melting the air. The nostrils flared stronger and wider, the spring intoxication made heads spin. And Srubov got drunk from the intoxicating breath of the approaching spring, from the intoxicating animal joy of one hundred and twelve people. Large fiery clouds of words, joy, puffing out their chests scattered like a sunny, blinding rain of sparks over the motley play of the beast, clicking, playng the fur, and began to run around with piercing red, blue, green lights.

- Comrades... Comrades, the Revolution is not tax collection of foods for liders, not executions, not the Cheka. In the sea of fire, the charred figure of the executed father flashed and disappeared, burned.
- The Revolution is the brotherhood of workers. You give to Sovijet power all what hav , but Soviet power give to you more - the Life..

After the propaganda concert, the performance promoting an ideology justifying terrorist, criminal activity of organized crime in the name of the Communist Party, according to the class social pretext, the freed motley beast, with a satisfied growl, with a stomp, hundreds of legs, ran through the open gates into the street.

And the Chekists became intoxicated with joy, with causeless, animal joy of life, because that night, a white, three-story stone house with a red flag, with a red sign, with guards at the gates and doors, saw something unprecedented.

And this time from out of the gate of offise of Chek the bads blooders Gubcheks employees came laughing and shouting loudly. The Gubchek chairman, a boy, ran ahead, grabbed a handful of snow, crushed it and smacked it on Vanka Mudynya's face. Vanka choked with laughter and squealed.
- I'll give at you now, Comrade Srubov.
Mudynya was supported by the gloomy Gozhe. Srubov immediately got two white cold lumps in the back and neck. Srubov threw another lump into the pile of Chekists, and the Chekists, like schoolchildren running out into the street for a long break, began to squeal and pelt one othersselves with snow. A lump of snow - a lump of laughter. Laughter - snow. And genuine joy, causeless, drunken, the animal joy of life.

Srubov was covered in snow, whitened from head to toe. The faces of the untouchables - the sentries - were also snow.

They said goodbye, parted tired, with wet collars, with wet red burning hands and cheeks. Srubov shook Kats's hand, looked at him with clear shiny black eyes.
- Goodbye, Arshliuka. Everything is fine, Arshlyuka. Revolution is fraud, lies, strahd, blood, life. Long live the Revolution, Arsh.

And at home Srubov had a hearty supper. And, getting up from the table, he grabbed the sad, black woman-mother and started spinning around the room with her. The mother was didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, she was loud breathed of gread choking from the wild rounds of the unexpected waltz.
- Andrey, you've gone crazy. Let go, Andrey... Srubov laughed.
- Everything is fine, Mommy. Long live the Life... Long live the Revolution, Mommy!

VII

The interrogated person is in the middle of the office. A bright light is shining in his eyes. Behind him, on the sides, there is darkness. In front, face to face - Srubov. The interrogated person sees only Srubov and two guards on the edge of the illuminated section of the floor.

Srubov looks at the papers, not paying any attention to the person being interrogated. Not look at him. And interrogated is worried, fiddling with his feeble, barely visible moustache. Preparing to answer. He doesn't lower his eyes from Srubov. Waiting for him to start asking questions. In vain. Five minutes - silence. Ten. Fifteen. Doubt creeps in as to whether there will be an interrogation. Maybe they called him simply to announce the release order?

Thoughts about freedom are light, joyful. And suddenly, unexpectedly:
- Your name, patronymic, last name?

Asked and did not raise his head. As if it was not him and all shifts the papers from one place to another. The interrogated man shuddered, answered. Srubov did not even think to write it down. But still, the question was asked. The interrogation has begun.

Five minutes - silence. And again:
- Your name, patronymic, last name?

The interrogated person confused. He was counting on another question. But answered, and began to calm himself to himself down - what is not special what asked him agained.

And another pause:
- Your name, patronymic, last name?

The interrogated is taken aback. And Srubov pretends not to notice anything. And another pause. And another question:
- Your name, patronymic, last name?

The person being interrogated understands that something is wrong, but does not understand the reason, cannot collect his thoughts. He is sitting far from the wall on a stool without a back. The wall is not visible. The darkness is loose. There is nothing to lean against. And this light in the eyes. The guards' rifles. Srubov finally raises his head. His gaze is pressing. He does not ask questions. He tells what unit the person being interrogated served in, where it was stationed, what tasks it performed, who the commander was. Srubov speak confidently, as if reading from a service record. The person being interrogated is silent, his head nodding.

Hobstructed the promotion of Soviet power, provided armed resistance to Sovietic terrorist, extrimist gangs, and contributed to the establishment of law and order in the territories occupied by Soviet power in accordance with democratic moral and social norms.

Srubov hides the paper in his briefcase. He casually throws out:
- The next one.

And not a word about this man. What whether he was what or not. Srubov does not like the weak, those who give in easily, those who recognize the right from name of the Soviet power to punish for disloyalty and opposition to advancement the criminal terrorist groop. He like destroy were by clever, brave enemies, the enemies to the end.

The exdid interrogated man wrings his hands:
- Please, have mercy. I will be your agent, I will give you everyone...

Srubov didn't even look. And only to the escort once more, insistently:
- Next, next.

After interrogating this thin-mustached man, Srubov soul is filled with a shudder of disgust, it's like on crushed a woodlouse.

The next person be the interrogated was an artillery captain. An open face, a look direct, confident, and ower apponent. Srubov asked right away:
- Did you serve the Whites for a long time?
- From the very beginning.
- An artilleryman?
- An artilleryman.
- You didn't take part in the battle near Lazu?
- Of course, I did.
- Was that your battery stationed in the forest near the village?
- Mine.
- Ha-ha-ha-ha!..

Srubov unbuttons his jacket and undershirt. The captain is surprised. Srubov laughs and bares his right shoulder:
- Look, you've really screwed me hit up.

There are three deep pink scars on the shoulder. The shoulder is withered:
- I was wounded by shrapnel near Lazu. I was the regiment commissar then.

The captain is exuse, twists his long moustache, looks at the eya. And as Srubov is like an old friend to him.
- It's okay, this is in open combat.

He didn't interrogate for long. The captain wasn't on the wanted list. He signed the release order. When parting, they exchanged long, intent, simple human glances. He was left alone, lit a cigarette, smiled, and wrote down the captain's name in his pocket notebook as a keepsake.

And in the next room there is a commotion. A muffled scream. Srubov listened. A scream again. The scream squeeze on our fingers hoops. Water, scream between the letters.
Srubov into the hallway.
To the door.
DUTY INVESTIGATOR.
Locked.
He knocked, hands hurt.
Knocked wich a revolver.
- Comrade Chernetsky, open up! I'll break it in.

Door open, Srubov did undestend did broke it or Cerneckyy own opened.

A black Turkish sofa. On it lies the defendant Rekashiene. White, bare legs, white scraps of lace, white underwear and nice face fainting.

And Cherneckyy is red, wet, sloppy and sweaty.

And half an hour later, the arrested Ivanov and Rekashiene are in Srubov's office. They are sitting next to each other in armchairs by the left wall. Both are pale. Their eyes are big and black. On the right wall, on the sofa, on the chairs, are all the responsible workers. They are wearing service jackets, protective tunics, leather jackets, and multi-colored trousers. Black, red, and green.

Everyone smoked. Their faces were gray and cloudy from the smoke.
Srubov was in the middle at the table. He had a large pencil in his hand. He was talking and drew lines the pencil:
- Why not rape her if she'll be shot anyway? What a temptation for a slave's soul.

Rekashiyne is not good, with cold hands tightly gripped the cold leather handles of the chair.

- It is allowed to shoot, to rob it's allowed to rape. Everything is allowed. But what if everyone is Cherneckyy ?..

He looked to the right and to the left. Everyone was silent. All were sucking on own cigarettes:
- No, not everything is allowed. What is allowed only is allowed.

He broke the pencil and threw it on the table with force. Jumped up and sticking out his shaggy black beard:
- This is the revolution, not clericalism. Terror, but not mischief.

He picked up the pencil again. - Revolution is not what my left leg wants. Revolution...
He scribbled with a pencil.
- Firstly...
And slowly, deliberately:
- for everybody o-r-g-a-n-i-z-a-t-i-o-n-a-l job.
He paused.
- Secondly...
He scribbled again. And also:
- The action planning...
He tore the paper:
- C-a-l-c-u-l-i-a-t-i-o-n !

Srubov left the table, walks around the office. His beard to the right, his beard to the left. He presses himself against the wall. And he spreads his arms all over the place, as if he were picking up a brick from the floor and laying it, rows - a foundation, walls, roof, pipes.
- VChK this is Huge Building Big of Plant.

- Revolution is a mechanical plant. for Each mechanism, each screw has its own do. what is a elements? The elements are steam, not squeezed into a boiler, electricity, walking like a thunderstorm on the earth. Us Revolution has a progressive movement from the elements are captured in the iron framework of order, expediency. Electricity for us is good electricity when it is in a steel mesh of wires. Steam is good steam when it is in a boiler.

Walks between the chairs, pointing with his fingers:
- what fuel does the revolution run on? Rigted Mass anger, organized through propaganda for the purpose of self-defense...

Strong iron tiles, one to one in the heads of the listeners of Srubov’s thoughts.

He finished, stopped in front of the commandant, knitted his brows, stood there and said quite firmly voice did not allow any objections:
- Shoot them both right now. Him first. Let her look.

The Chekists immediately stood up with a noise, left without looking back, silently. Only Pepel turned around in the doorway and said firmly, like Srubov:
- This is right. Revolution - no philosophies.

Cherneckyy's head is on his chest, mouth is open. Always walked upright, but now he's slouched. Rekashiene let out a little scream, face is made of alabaster, and unconscious fell down on the floor . Srubov noticed her torn, high, warm galoshes eaten rats had, maybe in the basement.

He looked at his watch, stretched, went to the phone, and called:
- Mom, is that you? I'm going home.

Recently, Srubov began to be afraid of the dark, and when he arrived, his mother light in all the rooms of his spacious apartment.

VIII

Srubov saw a miracle - White and Red paints wove a gray web of everyday life, his, Srubov's, web gray of life of everidayof days.

White pulled the web from institution to institution, from headquarters to headquarters, laid narrow, strong loops around the white three-story stone house, pulling the ends together in one place, outside the city, in the rotten little house of the ex guard of the provincial land department vegetable gardens. White wove the web at night, in dark backyards, in dead-end alleys, hiding from Red paint, thinking that Red did not see, did not know. Red spun the web parallel to Bely's web - thread to thread, knot to knot, loop to loop, but pulled the ends together in another place - in the white three-story stone house. Red spun day and night, did not stop working for a minute. He hiding from White, he was sure that White paint did not see, did not know.

Both White paint and Red paint have a tense haste of work, each the hope for the strength of his web, the calculation to entangle, deceive, steal and tear the web of the other self comrades.

Namely, in haste, in tension, in alertness - in the confusion of one's own and the desired other - Srubov's everyday life. Not sleeping for weeks or sleeping without undressing, on a chair at a table, on a table, in a sleigh, in the saddle, in a car, in a rush, on the brake, eating dry food, on the move, receiving, meeting, questioning, instructing dozens of agents, reading, writing, signing hundreds of papers and all barely holding your head up, barely dragging your legs from fatigue - everyday life.

And so every day, without undressing, falling asleep at the table in a chair or lying down for an hour at sofos, or for two on the sofa, in a continuous dirty avalanche of people, in mountains of paper, in blue-gray clouds of tobacco smoke, Srubov worked day and nigts long. This service in the Cheka is a red-gray, gray-red mess. Red and White, White and Red. And an endless tangle of the web - the third year.

And now, when all the preparations have been made, all the orders have been given, the alien web is firmly braided with its own web, when employees with orders, with mandates, without any documentary justification did send where everything should be, as it should be and when it should be, when it is quiet and empty in the white three-story house, only on the floor the security company of the Cheka battalion is quietly on duty, when at night you need to wait for the results of the hot work of the last weeks, when there are exactly two hours left before the start of the raid, searches, arrests, unauthorized forceful actions, when you want to sleep - Srubov once again open the black leather folder on the table and rummed through stacks of scraps of paper, scraps, reread scraps of thoughts, prop up your heavy head with your hand, yawn, smoke.

A large sheet of graph paper:
'What is a public execution like the guillotine in France? Public executions surround the death of a person, even the most with грозного an aura heroism, his thoughts, testimony, the causes of the conflict and the actibed justification of the criminal activity of the violence remain mif. Public executions agitate, give moral strength to victims of violence, crimes, enemies of an organized group that has usurped operational and executive authorities.
Public executions leave evidence for relatives and clouse, corpses, a grave, last words, publications, the exact date of death. The executed person is not completely destroyed and continues to fight beyond the brink of heown oblivion.
This is in France, and we have a basement. A secret execution. A secret execution, in a basement, without any effects, without announcing the verdict, sudden, the removal of all documentary evidence of his life before censorship of public publications has an overwhelming effect on the enemies. A huge, merciless, all-seeing machine suddenly grabs its victims and grinds them up like in a meat grinder. After the execution, there is no exact day of death, no last words, no corpse, not even a grave. Emptiness. The enemy is completely destroyed.'

Blank - Chairman of the Provincial Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter... Further, an uneven piece of paper is torn out. The surviving strip reads:
'1. At 9 o'clock a meeting with Arutyev. 2. Ask the quartermaster why they gave out rotten lard this month.
3. Tomorrow is the citywide meeting.
4. Give Yurasik some pants and something sweet.'

Signed search protocol. On the clean end, in blue pencil:
'Terror must be organized so that the work of the executioner-executor is almost no different from the work of the leader-theorist. One said - terror is necessary, the other pressed the button of the machine gun-shooter. The main what thing is not to see blood.
When in the future an "enlightened" human society will riged itself of superfluous or criminal members by means of gases, acids, electricity, deadly bacteria and heavy unskilled labor in conditions poorly compatible with the survival of life - then there will be no need for basements ChKA. Comrades scientists, with a scientific air, will completely fearlessly immerse living people in huge flasks, retorts and with the help of all sorts of compounds, reactions, distillations will begin to turn them into wax, and Vaseline, into lubricating oil and using their organs for the transfer to more useful members of society.
When these wise Soviet chemists open their laboratorys for the benefit of soviet social clan humanity, there will be not information of kill people, there will be no death, no wars. The word "cruelty" will disappear. Only chemical experiments and tests will remain for the benefit of the evolution of Soviet people to working primates of the dominating Soviet elite.'

From the notebook: 1. Submit the order to register rifled weapons to the newspaper.
2. Consult with Nachoso.
3. Systematically write down thoughts about terror. When there is time - to write a book.
4. Talk to Professor Lansberges about electrons.

A scrap of glossy drawing paper. A drawing of a machine gun. On the inside, in small red ink:
'Our work is extremely difficult. It is not for nothing that the institution is often called the emergency commission. All Chekists are emergency people. Once a high-ranking comraded told me that a Chekist who shot fifty counter-revolutionaries deserves to be the fifty-first to be shot.
Very nice. So it turns out that they teoretic revoliutionersare first-class people, them theoretically find terror necessary. Mybe for them this Good, but the picture is roughly as follows: for them there are insects that harm grain crops and them have enemies - the same insects - we.
Revolutionary theorists use the second persons to devour the first by bicause various material blessings, privileges, and wealth. The second devours the first. The proceeds from this goto fall into the hands of public figures, and the unfortunate exterminators, extortionists, grabbers, murderers and looters are no longer needed and cannot be counted among those calmly eating white buns Soviet public figures.'

But will be fine and if your head is heavy, your eyes red and sleep is weighing down on your shoulders and back like lead, fold it up all, cover your chest, face and beard with this the black folder and sleep, sleep, sleep.

And outside the windows in the blue darkness the scurrying tramp of feet, the crunch of ice of invisible puddles, the hum of voices, the rustle of the crowd, the humming waves of those going to matins. On the cathedral bell tower the bell, the largest and oldest, grey-green from age, with a black iron tongue lazily licked copper grey-green lips and grumbled:
'0-o-o-mi-m-o-o-omi-m-o-o-omim...'

In the office there was smock tobacco, stuffiness, the bright light of an electric chandelier and the continuous, ringing tremor of the telephone hammer. Metallic flies were crawling into both of Srubov's ears:
'Zh-zh-z-dr-r-r-dr-r-r-r-z-z-z...'

And got what they wanted - they woke up Srubov. My head was heavie, eyelids were stuck together, it was bitter and dry in my mouth. But the thought was immediately correct, clear - it had begun.

And it began. The left hand does not let go of the receiver from the ear. Outfrom the phone reports, into the phone - orders. At the table is a map of the city, eyes on it, the right hand puts crosses over captured areas, secret squares, weapons depots, tears, cuts with short slanted lines a thin tangled web. On Srubov's lips there is a bitter, ironic smile.

Half-starved soviet pover imperiously, heavily, with bare feet steps on the gilded joy of those greeting Christ, on the white sweet pyramids of cottage cheese and Easter cakes. The pots and bowls on the church cornices have gone out, the ringing of the church has died down, the rustle of footsteps has died down, only the tramp of those who have fled, will hidineg in their homes. Silence, tense stillness, horror are over the city, and in the black blue of the spring night the blue of Her - the social terror, the dictatorship of violence, lies and deception, Her watchful, angry eyes.

Srubov couldn't sit still in his office. He called Katzas back from the raid, sat him down in his chair and raced through the city in car. With a triumphant roar and snort, flashing his big eyes like lanterns, the strong steel beast rushed through the streets of cyti. But the city was empty, the people had retreated to the backyards, to dark corners, to the underground.

In Srubov memory only the arrest of the guard of the provincial vegetable gardens Ivan Nikiforovich Chirkalov and former colonel Micoly Kalmant remained . The colonel held himself proudly and calmly. Srubov could not resist and quipped:
- Christ is risen, sir colonel.
And, sedaum them in his car, he added:
- Oh, gardener, you planted radishes and grew horseradish penis.
Chudayev remained silent and only pulling his cap down over his eyes.

Frightened ladies in elegant dresses, men in frock coats, white shirts. Solomin is imperturbably calm, sniffling, breakingef the mothballed peace of the chests:
- Tell me, how many of you bourgeois are here pryachitsya. We'll leave each one a fur coat. Izlishki am will take.

And still ostalos in memory, this when he examined the of selected weapons as proudly, joyfully heart beat, strong power of red honor spread through all his muscles.

The rest is night, day, streets, streets, chains, chains of patrols, wind in the ears, the smell of gasoline, the shaking of a car seat, the slamming of a door, weakness in the legs, noise, heaviness in the head, pain in the eyes, apartments, rooms, corners, beds, people - awake, with traces of insomnia on their gray faces, sleepy, surprised, sleeping, frightened, security officers, Red Army soldiers, rifles, grenades, revolvers, tobacco, shag and gray-red, red-gray and White, Red and Red, White. And after such a night, day and another night, need receive ansd send into the basement, relatives, close persons of those arrested.

The visitors asking for release own relatines, close - is fools. Srubov is attentive and indifferent. He sits, although in the office chair, but at a huge height, he does not see faces, figures of the visitors at all. Some small black dots are moving - and that's all.

The old woman asks for her son, cries:
- Have pity on him, he one and only for me.

She falls to her knees, her cheeks in tears, wipes herself with the end of her handkerchief. Srubov thinks her face is no bigger than a pinhead. The old woman bows at him feet. She lowers, raises her head - brightens, darkens. The sound of her voice barely reached his ears:
- One and only...

But what can he tell her? He is an enemy, she is an enemy - family or single, one and only- it makes no difference. And what difference does it make - one person more or less.

For Srubov there are no people here, he has forgotten about their existence. Requests do not bother, do not touch. Hefuses is light tell:
- We do not care whether he is the only one you have or not. If he is guilty, we will shoot him. You'll give birth to more one one and only, grandma.

One pinhead disappeared, another popped out.
- The only breadwinner, husband... five a children.
Old story. And for the Old story one too such ansfer:
- Marital status is not taken into account.
The pin turns red and pales. Srubov's face, motionless, stony, deathly pale, horrifies her.

The pin-dots keep coming out. Srubov is the same with everyone - relentlessly cruel, cold.

One dot moved close, close to the table. And when it moved away again, a small dark pile remained on the table. Srubov slowly realized – she had given a bribe. Without descending from his unattainable height, he threw a few words-icicles into the telephone receiver. The dot turned black with fear, and began to babble senselessly:
- You don't take. others of you taked. It happened...
- The investigation will find out who took from you. We will shoot and you, and those who took from you.

There were other visitors - all the same dots pinheads. During the entire reception Srubov felt very lighting - at an exorbitant height, only him be felt a little cold . That's probably why my face turned stony white.

Relatives, close ones could, of course, humbly ask, tremble, cry, stand in line with poor bundles of parcels, pass on sweet paskhas, rich Easter cakes, painted eggs to the arrested - the white three-story stone house is inexorable, cruel, like the its hands of clock mechanism.

Relatives could still come with sweets and pastries when the arrested, photographed with a chalk number on their chests, had already made their way from basement No. 3 to prison, from prison tied up to basement No. 2, from there to No. 1 and, consequently, to the cemetery, when the drafts of their files, already submitted to the archive, were smoking in the garbage dump in the yard, they were always burned in the Gubchek. When yellow, fat, hairless rats were with strong teeth, licking their blood with sharp red tongues arresteds. To the arrested the tranfers not of reached, all the transfers were transferred of relatives, close ones could to the food bank of the Cheka.

A white three-story stone house with a red flag, a red sign, with sentries indifferently baring the cast-iron teeth of the gate, sticking out red white tongues of blood and lime, as saliva from, that flowed from the cars carrying the corpses and was be always sprinkled with lime - this home knows no grief, no sad from neither those who work in it, nor who are brought to it, nor those who come to it.

IX

In order to justify, legitimize and promote the criminal activities of the ChKA and other responsible soviet persons to satisfy own material needs, a legend was developed at a board meeting about the exposure of a certain mythical anti-Lithuanian organization of gotovyashei counterrevoljucionnyi perevorot:
- Group "A" - fifteen fives, former high-ranking combat officers and responsible servants from among the employees of Soviet institutions. Its task is to seize the party school and artillery warehouse.
- Group B - ten fives, former officers, former traders, small entrepreneurs, shopkeepers, servis of soldiers, several people from the Red Army command staff. The task is to take the telegraph, telephone exchange, the Provincial Executive Committee.
- Group C - seven fives, rabble. The task is the train station.
- According to the legend of the Gubchek, after capturing the designated points and allocating a sufficient number of posts to guard them, they planned to unite all the groups, move some Red Army units to their side, attack the Gubchek, and fight with troops loyal to the Soviet power. The organization, in addition to the thirty-two fives, had many sympathizers, helping and performing second of role of persons.

At the meeting of the Gubchk Board, Srubov felt very good. He was at a high altitude. And the people, colleagues, comrades - somewhere far, far below. And from this height he saw, as if on the palm of his hand, how, through the manipulations of the operational structure, one can entangle the web of one's criminal do with a cunning tangle and tear apart web selfown comrades, and thus justify one's criminal and ensure the advancement of one's own criminal acts. Srubov is full of proud awareness of his own strength and greatness.

Based on fabricated facts and extracted confessions, the investigator reports his findings:
- ...an active member of the organization, his task...

Everyone listened attentively. The office was completely quiet, only Arsh had a not good health runny nose and You could hear him snoring quietly. The electric light bulb was flickering intermittently. The investigator had finished. He was silented and looked at Srubov. Srubov asked him:
- Your conclusion?

The investigator rubs his hands together, shrugs, and cringes:
- I suppose the highest measure of punishment. Srubov nods his head.
And to everyone:
- There is a proposal - to shoot. Dela into v arhiv - szhech... Objections? Questions?
Janucovich blushed, dipped his moustache in a glass of tea:
- Well, of course.
- So, shoting ?
Srubov is amused. Arsh, blowing his nose, confirmed:
- Shoting to he.
- The case of next one.

The investigator runs his hand over his black stubble of hair and begins a new report:
- the supplier of weapons, who could have thought of him like that, it turns out was...
- What about he, comrades?

Arsh lowered his head, reached into his pocket for a handkerchief, and concentrated on lighting a cigarette. Janukovich thoughtfully stirred his tea with a spoon.
It seemed that no one had heard anything. Srubov was silent. Then he said loudly and decisively from everyone:
- Accepted.

Surnames, surnames, surnames, ranks, positions and titles. Once the meeting Yanukovych tried to object and began to prove:
- In my opinion, this man is not guilty...

Srubov resolutely stopped him and said angrily:
- Well, you, sugar almonds, shut up. The Cheka is an instrument of class reprisals. Understand? If reprisals, then it is not a court. Personal responsibility is of decisive importance to us, but not the same as for a Court or a Tribunal. What is more important to us is social status, class, caste, diaspora affiliation. Does this person taked belong to us, is he our subject, a slave... And that's all.

Arsh Dichev, energetically raising his clenched fists, supported Srubov.
- Revolution - no philosophy. Shooting !

Katzas also spoke in favor of shot execution and began to blow his nose vigorously.

Srubov is at his best. There is no fear, cruelty, or anything illegal. And talk about moral and immoral, moral and amoral is nonsense, prejudice. Although the pinheads need all this crap. And why does he, Srubov? It is important for him to rob, appropriate, rape and not allow the consequences of these pinheads' discontent. How, in what way - it makes no difference. And at the same time, Srubov believes that this is not so. Not everything and not everyone is allowed. Everyone has their own boundaries. But how not to cross them? How to stay on them if everything is allowed? There is no law, there is an opinion that has already given rise to irresponsibility and impunity, and, consequently, permissiveness.

Srubov face was pale. There were folds between his eyebrows. Srubov did not listen to the investigator-reporter. He was thinking about how to stop at the limit of what was permitted. And where was it? He was standing on something very sharp with one foot, the other foot and hands trying to keep his balance. He was doing it with difficulty. And only, it seems, by the end of the meeting he became stable and firm with both feet. He was very happy, he found a way to stay at the limit. It turns out that everything depends on a pointed, triangular pyramid, and of course, he discovered its presence in his brain. It is of iron hardness and purity. Its composition is exclusively critical and controlling electrons. Smiling, he stroked his head, and pressed his hair tighter to his skull so that the precious pyramid would not jump out. Srubov calmed down.

The first to sign the protocol was Srubov. Singned clearly, with large rings and pressure, he, from the "o" he pulled a thin thread and attached it to the end of a thick long stick, replacing the letter "v". The entire signature is a piece of twisted wood shavings, hung on a pole. The members of the board hesitated for a second. Each waited for someone else to take the pen first and stanf signature.

Arsh decisively grabbed pen from Srubov and against the word "Members" he quickly scribbled - Arsh Dichev.

Srubov frowned gloomily. From the white sheet of paper sent a wind in his face as from a cold snow pit. The grave is unpleasant for Srubov. It is alien but it is underfoot. The text is handwritten and between the last name of the last sentenced person and Srubov's signature there is one centimeter. A centimeter higher - and he is among those sentenced to death. Srubov even thought that the typist would definitely make a mistake when copying it and put him on the same level as those sentenced exicution.

And when they were about to leave, Srubov's attention was drawn to the shaved back of Kazas's head. He couldn't help but joke:
- What a gorgeous officer's back of your head you have, Ika - steep, wide. You can't miss.

Katzas turned pale, frowned, and Srubov felt awkward about what he had said, so without looking at each other, without saying goodbye, they went out into the corridor.

And the last sheet of paper from the log black folder of Srubov crumpled, unevenly torn, with knotty blue veins of text lines.

If we were to shoot all the survivors of victims, the witnesses to doing of the criminal terrorist group organized on the basis of the ChKA and did doing criminal from name the Soviet regime's in a basement ChKA, it would take a long lot time.

So, in order to speed up the process, it was decided to exicutiom most be outside the city. Them immediately stripped everyone and stand placed at the of ditch-grave. Bozhe suggested that all those them chopped to death with sabers - refused.

Their it was shoting ten people at once in the back of the head with revolvers. Some of the condemned sat down on the edge of the ditch out of fear dangling their legs into it. Some cried, prayed, asked for mercy, tried to escape. The picture is common. But around the place of executions a chain of horse guards was set up, not a single one of them was escape - they were all hacked to pieces.

Cerneckiyy howleding, demanded Srubov - "Call comrade Srubov! I have valuable testimony. Stop the execution. I will still be useful to you. I am an ideological communist." And when Srubov approached him, he did not recognize hir, his eyes widened senselessly, end he roared - "Call comrade Srubov!" But shoot him need be . It turned out that he had too bloody a past and all investigers were tired of statements about him. And besides he already gave gived everything he could. Is fool the Cherneckyy.

But Srubov was still lot amazed, delighted by the fact that the revolution, the Soviet regime, had taught most of these people fatal dignity. Srubov, as a boy, had read how during the Japanese war the Cossacks forced the Honghuzi to dig graves, sat them on the edge and chopped off their heads one by one. He had liked that Easter calm, that imperturbability with which the Honghuzi awaited the fatal blow. Now he saw Soviet Honghuzi, subjects, slaves of the Soviet regime, and admired the spectacle when a long line of naked people, illuminated by the moon, froze in complete silence and peace, as if lifeless, like a row of plaster alabaster statues in awaiting death. He was especially did impressed by the women: they held on tightly and died silently, without complaint, better than the men.

Someone was shouting from the shot pit: "Comrades, finish them off!" Solomin jumped into the pit onto the corpses, walked over them for a long time, turned them over, finished them off. It was difficult, hardcult to finish them off, because was the night did be moonlit, but cloudy.

When the moon did lit up the bloody faces of the executed, the faces of the corpses, Srubov for some reason thought about his own death. They was dieded- and he will die too. The law of the earth is cruel, simple - be born, give birth, die. And Srubov thought about humanity, the mans - is it really he, drilling the ether of the universe with the eyes of telescopes, tearing the boundaries of the earth, rummaging in the dust of centuries, reading hieroglyphs, greedily grasping at the present and boldly rushing into the future, he who conquered the earth, water, air, is it really he will never be immortal? To live, to work, to love, to hate, to suffer, to study, to accumulate a lot of experience, knowledge and to then become a stinking carrion... Absurdity...

They returned from the shot exicution with the sunrise. Walking to the car, Srubov stepped on an anthill. Dozens of ants dug into his boots. Srubov remembered the thought, he did droving and thoughid: even a bug enters into a mortal fight for the right to live, eat, give birth. A bug gnaws at the throat of a bug. And people philosophize, pile up all sorts of stupid theories and torture themselves. Arshliuka says: "Revolution is no philosophy", but he doesn't take a step without "philosophy". Is it really all just like that - be born, lived , die and every only a empty?

Then there was longing for father, for child. There was a long binge. There was a two-month vacation. There was a difuthion from the position of the head of the provincial chek. There was a bed in a clinic for the mentally ill. A lot happened in a few months.

And now this interrogation in ChKA. Srubov is thin, yellow, with blue circles under his eyes. The leather suit is worn right on the bones. Only body, no muscles. Breathing is intermittent, hoarse.

And interrogating it Arsh Dichevas. His face for he a round teapot. His nose is a sharp pipe, turned down. You want to stand up and forcefully poke your thumb into the hated pipe, to shut it up. And he sits there, pretending to be the boss at Srubov desk. Red paw smeared all in ink. And interrogation is torture. If at least he interrogated. Where there - he gives a lecture: the authority of the party, the prestige of the Cheka. And all the time nose with the pipe up, up, as if he is shoving it into the very heart, picking.

And Arsh Dichevas interrogates him. His face is like a round teapot. His nose is a sharp pipe, bent downwards. Srubov want to stand up and forcefully poke your thumb into the hated pipe so that it shuts up. And sits the Arsh, pretending to be a boss at the Srubov table. His pen is white ivory, and his paw is red, all in ink, and interrogation is torture. If only he would at least interrogation, where there - he gives a lecture: the authority of the party, the prestige of the Cheka. And all the time his nose is up, up, as if he is shoving it into the very heart, picking.

Srubov tears his beard. Grits his teeth. With fiery hating eyes see Arsh. Resentment runs through his veins like sulfuric acid. Burns, twirls. He couldn't stand it. Jumped up and threw at him:
- You understand, you bastard, that I served the Revolution with blood, I gave it everything, and now I'm a squeezed lemon. And I need juice. Got it, the juice of alcohol, if there's no more juice blood.

For a moment Dichevas, the investigator, the head of the provincial Cheka, turned into the former Arshliuka. He looked at Srubov with gentle eyes:
- Andrejus, why are you angry? I know you served well, but you couldn't stand it?

And because Dichunas was fighting with Arshliuka, because it was painful, he winced and said:
- Well, put yourself in my place. Well, tell me, what should I do when you began to disgrace us, to lower our dignity?

Srubov waved his hand, stood up and walkin the office. The bones in his knees crunched, his leather pants rustled louded. At Arsh he did no looked . Was it worth paying attention to this nonentity?

And here She stood before him the Revolution - a great lover, hot and greedy. Hey, he gave the best years of his life. More - his whole life. She took everything - soul, blood and strength. And threw away him the beggar and the weaken. She, insatiable, she likes only the young, healthy, full-blooded. A squeezed lemon is not needed for the common cause. Scraps into the garbage pit. How many people like Srubov are on her path, exhausted, weakened and of no use to anyone - The Revolution irresponsibility and impunity for the chosen ones proletariat public and official person.

Srubov clearly sees her as crueled and blooded. He wants to throw his own curses, the bitterness of disappointment in Her as a burning lump in Her face. But his hands are powerless. His tongue is powerless. Srubov sees that She herself is a beggar, in blood and rags. She is poor, intellectually, spiritually poor, and that, because is why she is embittered and cruel of all of to everything that is beyond her wretched understanding.

But both the invalid and the scrap want are still alived and want to live, but the garbage man myasnik has already arrived with a knafe and a broom. There he sits - with his pipe up. They decided to destroy him, but Srubov doesn't want to go into the pit. It won't work. He'll manage to hide. They won't find him. to Live, live... Let only his cap remain on the table and wich a sly, poisonous smile to Arsh:
- Citizen of the provincial Cheka, am I not under arrest yet? May I go to the toilet?

And out the door. And down the corridor, almost running. And Arsh, who has become Dichiunas again, the head of the provincial Cheka, blushes with shame for his momentary weakness. He twists the handle of the telephone with all his might, asks the prison warden if there is a free solitary cell. He lights a cigarette, waits for Srubov, firmly and calmly signs the order for his arrest.

But Srubov was already on the street. The sidewalks were crowded and crowded. He was throwing his long, bony legs wide in the middle of the road. He was waving his arms. His hair was sticking up in the wind in all directions. Curious people stopped and pointed. He saw nothing. He only remembered that he had to run. He turned corners several times. Street names and house numbers didn’t matter. The only thing that mattered was to hide. He was out of breath, falling, getting up and moving on again. There was clapping, some doors were opening. He have the one hope was growing that he would succeed in escaping, hope they wouldn’t catch him...

And suddenly, unexpectedly, like a misfortune, a black impenetrable wall blocked the road - Solomin. And behind his back is a double - Katz. It turns out he was chasing after him the whole time. Didn't look back - didn't see. Now he's happy - he caught up and he is, gasping for air like a fish making a faces.

Srubov fell on the bridge, waving his arms, wanting to scream but only wheezing:
- I... I... I... And on his back, on his shoulders, on his head, black ash, a burning black mountain, painfully pressing and burning.

And on the same day, whan the Red Army soldiers of the VChK battalion played checkers in the club, cracked nuts, listened to Vanda Jankauskite play "incomprehensible" on the piano, Efim Solomin spoke banered from a high box at the socialists rally:
- Comrades, our party Re-Ka-Py, our teachers Marx and Lenin - selected, sorted wheat. We communists - not a bad kind of wheat. Well, non-party members - tails, chaff. A non-party member - where will he understand what? No way. According to him, we one murderers and our Cheka are one murder. According to him, Vanka kills, Mitka kills. But does he understand that not ther Vanka, Mitka to kills, but the whole world is one murder, and Vanka, Mitka only is equitment of executions is the secular matter...

Dictatorship, the dominance of the bad over the best, more advanced, educated, noble, led to the degradation of the entire empire and gave birth to even more evil and aggressive creatures. From this broken glass of conspiracies, fraud, lies, The inability to perceive reality as such and the substitution reality an conjuncture desired targets, and desired ways to it, manipulation of public opinion with strychnine sabotage blood was pouring out and the belly was swollen from harmful motherhood and hunger. And here, wounded, bloodied with its own and other people's blood, ragged, in gray-red rags, in a lousy coarse shirt, the fragments of the Country of the Soviet Union stand barefoot on the great plain and look at the world with sharp angry eyes, promoting themselves, their influence and dominance on other countries and continents! And today and ghey stretched the tentacles of pressing, of mad wretchedness' of mental dominance  out over the more progressive and perfect !

 # Cui prodest hoc ?
Is quite obvious the desire of the Russian, Belarusian, and Lithuanian authorities to take control of the media, including other regions of The Post-Soviet Space . The Internet is a new phenomenon, and the methods worked out in newspapers and on television do not work well there. You can, of course, try to take leading information sites and popular web publications in your region under your ideological control by purchasing or introducing your own people into them (which, in principle, is what has been happening lately, as and to take control a Law). But the absence of a single directorate on the Internet, the multiplicity and diversity of web publications themselves, the presence of interactive web forums where everyone can freely, outside the framework of political censorship, one can be participate in discussions, all this variety of forms, does not allow representatives of totalitarian regimes to impose audience (including the DELFI.ru, DELFI.lt, DELFI.lv, 15min.lt others audience) strictly adhere to the ideological line, reliably control and ensure a centralized approach. and this we see conflict between what is desired and reality because it is necessary for each dictatorial regime to conduct propaganda and counter-propaganda in order to justify and legitimize its Criminal Activities!

Compared to Soviet times, the methods and methods of state propaganda have been greatly modernized. Budget funds are now not spared for PR, even without being privy to the details of “projects” such as: “Creating a positive image of Totalitarian regimes,” “Strengthening the information security of the regime,” and “Creating a unified information space for dictatorial regimes.” I believe that the propaganda of criminal moral and legal norms in order to justify one’s active criminal activity, one’s irresponsibility, impunity and permissiveness with various ideologies cannot but affect the Internet and, in particular, popular political forums throughout the post-Soviet space, as and at the post-Soviet zone of influence at former socialist republics, at now which each participant can write whatever he wants.  
 Moreover, the peculiarity of any propaganda is that it must be total. If zones remain somewhere free from the ideological influence of the..., then the effectiveness of any propaganda activities sharply decreases. Perhaps it was precisely this specificity of the Runet (including DELFI.ru, DELFI.lt, DELFI.lv others wich administration loyales regimes) that led to the emergence of hundreds of similarly-minded, national-statist, “patriotic” (as they themselves like to put it) thinking characters, similar to each other, like soldiers of the same division.

Oct 24, 2011 - Commissars of the Internet, Part Four... - 'Disinformation and Compromising materials'

 Commissars of the Internet, Part Four

  - 'Cui prodest hoc ?'.

  #  Disinformation and Compromising materials

 In addition to the thieves’ methods of distracting attention  to heated political discussions described in the first part of our article, the brigade constantly throws targeted disinformation and compromising evidence onto the forums. It is very difficult to refute such “information”, and the old principle “lie, lie, maybe something will remain” still works well.

 Apparently, it is important for the brigade that the false statement be constantly present in the discussion, become an element of the new mythology and influence public opinion. When asked why they so often and shamelessly repeat already refuted lies, a members of the brigade honestly answers, we quote:
'Inscriptions in a toilet  are read by many more people than they are written. And the fact that I write the same thing, then if you constantly tell someone that he is a pig, then sooner or later the he will grunting own'.

 One could assume the existence of one such character, endowed with the 'phenomenon of absolute shamelessness' but the strangeness of the situation is that there are at least five to ten such individiums regular participants in discussions at every popular Russian, Belorusian, Ukrainan, Baltican political forums. Each of their false statements, which uniformly falsify reality and history, is repeated by them daily and sometimes verbatim in dozens and hundreds of forums.

  # Technical methods of influence

 One of the common methods of influencing stubborn opponents (especially those who suggest that there is a close-knit “brigade” on the forum) is sending junk mail by email, viruses and Trojans via IP. Our archive contains dozens of forum messages from various people with liberal views who, immediately after their speeches on forums against the ideological values of the totaritars regimes, received powerful virus attacks that practically destroyed computer software and block their access to the Internet.

 Here, for example, is what one of the visitors to the DELFI.ru forums, DELFI.lt, reports:
 'Immediately after my brief participation in the DELFI.lt forum on the topic of the need for FSB lustrations, a series of strong virus attacks penetrated all the security systems of my computer and completely blocked my access to the Internet for several days. Assuming that this was an accident, I returned to the discussion on this forum, on an unpleasant topic for the FSB. On the same day, the message appeared on the forum:
 "Here you go! Veronica appeared again. I thought you already understood everything, Cheap Whore. Everything has been clear to everyone for a long time, but you are the only one who is not clear. Okay, we'll keep working. By the way, Veronica, just a question. The fact what that you write about the KGB, supposedly what beasts they are, and you write that you live in Lithuania. If all this is so, and I, for example, am an FSB major - Not scary? Or did you want the glory of the French Joan?"

Immediately after this message, a powerful virus attack on the computer was repeated. Apparently, this was the continuation of the work of the “FSB major”.


  # Intrusive stories about yourself

 Wanting to give credibility to their messages, brigadiers often and unsolicitedly talk about themselves, about their place of residence and work, about their relatives, and publish their work and home phone numbers, which is not at all typical for all other participants in discussions on forums of politic. At the same time, members of the brigade are often confused in the details of 'their' biographies, they know little about a professions that they call their own all, or about the country where they supposedly live. Very often they are emigrants in one of the European countries, or call themselves emigrants. However, in recent months this trend has been changing - now many brigadiers have begun to call themselves residents of the Belarusian or Lithuanian hinterland where, according to their stories, there is now 'a powerful economic, social, cultural  avalanche-like increase and economy the well-being of, under the wise leadership of the administration of the Lukashenko, Putin, Janukovich, Gribauskaite, Nazarbaev and others regimes post Soviet space.'

 # Brigade sagacity

 One of the most interesting features of brigadiers is their ability to find out and publish in forums not only the places of residence of their anonymous opponents, but also their names, surnames, details of their biographies, place of work, and the names of their relatives. Of course, many questions are asked in advance about the country of residence, work, age, education, but even in cases where characters interested in personal information do not receive an answer from their opponents, they mysteriously find it's themselves.

 Once we happened to witness how in the guest book of the Lithuanian newspaper '15min.lt' one of the team members, allegedly, only by e-mail address and neutral nickname "Couture", identified and published the name, surname and place of work of one of the regular participants discussions an ardent supporter of the line of Gaidar, Chubais and the Union of Right Forces. It was a couple of years ago, when the Union of Right Forces sharply criticized Putin, his policy towards NTV and the war in Chechnya. The publication of the personal data of an ATP supporter on the forum was accompanied by threats of physical violence against him and his family, which forced him to leave the web forum and withdraw from any discussions for a long time.

 The discovery and publication of an opponent’s personal data, in order to strengthen of the reality of the threats being sent, was all the more surprising since the “exposed” reader practically did not provide details about himself on the forum, and the site did not make it possible to see his IP. We have seen similar, but slightly less characteristic stories more than once on the forum of the Lenta.ru, DELFI.lt, DELFI.lv, DELFI.ru website, where Lukashenko’s and Lithuanian, others regimes supporters suddenly called data of oponents focusing only on a nicknames consisting of  only of numbers or punctuation marks. We recently became aware of a case where a person who wrote under a pseudonym from North America on the political forum of the Russia Today website suddenly received from opponents from the brigade the publication on the forum of a detailed certificate with his biography, including medical diagnoses. And Here one involuntarily recalls the famous Belarusian joke about President Lukashenko’s online briefing:

"on-line"
We received the following question from an anonymous user:
- Alexander Grigorievich, aren’t you tired of answering pre-selected questions?
To which the president replied:
- No, Sidorov Nikolai Petrovich from Mogilev of living on Lenin Street, building 16, apt. 2, IP number (such and such), provider (such and such), I  feel like it at all at answering only pre-selected questions.

  # Administrative resources

 At the end of January 2003, quite unusual events occurred on one of the popular sites - the electronic version of the liberal newspaper Moscow News. The new administrator of the site unexpectedly began to actively help the team of 'brigade' this forum. The new admin, a person who clearly has little understanding of computer science and ethics, suddenly, contrary to the rules of the site, categorically refused to remove from the forum the repeatedly repeated anti-Semitic flood and obscene language of members of the this brigade. In response to the requests of many readers of the newspaper to take action against the foul-mouthed anti-Semites from the brigade who wrote obscenities and appropriating the nicknames of other people, the forum administrator publicly replied: “You make me sick.” After which, without explanation, he closed access to the forums to all participants in the discussions who criticized Totalitarian regimes and the Intelligence them Services.

 The next action of the Moscow News site administrator, unprecedented in Runet, was to clean out the forum’s archives for two years. The administrator of the website was not too lazy to carefully cut out several tens of thousands of readers’ texts directed against regimes of Putin, Lukashenko and other Totalitarian Regimes. And again, once again, many regular participants in discussions on the website expressed their indignation to the admin - then the latter reported that a number to the participants of past discussions  he closed  access (among whom were only people of liberal and democratic views who had never violated the rules of forum) - 'them had been denied access to the site by personal order of the newspaper's editor-in-chief V. Loshak.'

 Then one of the blocked readers was to publicly express his protest from another computer, on a forum, promising to make public the facts of political censorship in Moscow News. Then he was given access to the site, but the site editor took an unprecedented step by publishing the individual IP codes of his two computers. Publishing IP codes for computer users is highly undesirable; it makes the work of hackers easier, and for an administrator it is an absolutely immoral action, a violation of the fundamentals of professional ethics. The paradox was that the same administrator of the website several months earlier publicly explained the undesirability and harmfulness of publishing IP codes.

 After this reader left the Moscow News forums censored by the brigade, the brigadiers “followed up” him with the addresses of his Internet providers located in Lithuania and  found by IP codes, and a transparent hint about the opportunity to contact his managers and inform them about him pastime on the forums during working hours.

 The admin’s reference to the order of the newspaper’s editor-in-chief to block access to the site to all “anti-Lukashen, anti-Putin”-minded readers, as well as to cut out all their texts for the last year  from the archives of discussions, speaks for itself. Let us note that the “censored” readers never violated the rules of the site, did not use obscene expressions, etc.. Moreover, all obscenities and threats of physical harm made against them by the “brigade” were left by the editor in archive of forum, ore every single one of their well-reasoned texts directed against Putin, Lukashenko and Regime of Baltick countres were carefully destroyeds.

 And it seems absolute nonsense that the editors of MN are currently openly survive from people's site  with liberal views to survive from the site, most often those who stand in the positions of authors and journalists of this still relatively liberal publication, for the sake of   participants of discussion who simply mock the authors of the newspaper , showering them with all sorts of insults and obscene language.

  # Impressions of a newcomer on the forums of totalitarian publications

 'When am first time went to one of the DELFI.ru forums, I saw a “discussion” there, consisting of dialogues between a female nickname and a close-knit group of comrades, who in chorus dirtyly insulted this woman. The lady wrote correct and reasoned texts about the totalitarian essence of Islam and the historical connection of the totaritar regims with the Middle Eastern Arab dictatorships. In response, she received only obscenities from several male characters who praised the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate.
 I was outraged by the ugly picture of bullying and made a remark about the inadmissibility of such methods of discussion and insults of the girl. After that, letters from two forum participants arrived in my email inbox - a certain pianist from Vilnius and from a lady of considerable age from Minsk. In them, uninvited correspondents reported that the woman for whom I stood up was supposedly an evile provocateur, engaged in targeted persecution of honest, decent people. I was offered a picture of events exactly opposite to what I saw with my own eyes. The elderly lady attached her photograph and invited me to visit. The musician suggested meeting in one of the restaurants in Vilnius.
 As it turned out later, these two characters are one of the most key on the Moscow News forums and on some other liberal forums. They always act in tandem, being online for many hours every day (under different nicknames, of course). If at first I had doubts about the existence of the brigade, the brigadiers themselves very quickly dispelled it with their methods. I was especially impressed by the active participation of the newspaper’s editors in expelling dissidents from the site - to please those who systematically hooligan and insult others.'

 After the administrator and the team expelled intelligent readers from the forums totalitary pressa and only texts with dirty obscene language addressed to the expelled people were posted in the comments on the forum, mixed with anti-Semitic flood, praises of totalitar liders and curses against  Jews from the USA and Germany. The site administrator - did his job and by eliminating the brigade troublemakers from the forum, after which he and own left the forum to the mercy of fate.

  # "Gift of Prophecy" of Brigade

 Due to a specific mentality and Soviet-style upbringing, brigadiers often slack and work carelessly, making annoying mistakes, which site administrators then have to sort out and erase  along with large chunks of the forums.

 For example, in October 2002, several brigadiers from the Moscow News forum, positioning themselves as “patriotically minded emigrants”, without any reference to the topics of discussion, suddenly started a campaign of  denunciation of the unknown Mr. Limarev. Subsequently, it turned out that this is the owner of the RusGlobus website, which is opposed to the current Russian regime.

 Speeches on this topic by “ordinary readers from different countries” were unusually rich in private information; the forum published details of the biography, business, personal life of this unknown Mr. Limarev, his home address and telephone number, his pseudonyms, the names of his family members , his bank account numbers. Particularly zealous in exposing the mysterious Limarev were two ladies, constant participants in the forums, who stated that one of them was a doctor from Latvia, the other was a Lithuanian real estate dealer, both passionate admirers of Lukashenko, Putin and Landsbergis diaspora.

 All this caused some bewilderment on the forum, since none of the discussion participants understood why it was necessary to discuss or expose this unknown person about whom so much personal information had been posted.

 The reasons for this premature “leaking of compromising evidence” on the forum became clear only two weeks later, when the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper published an article by journalist Khinshtein about how a certain Sultanov, an Russian Main Intelligence Directorate agent, was deliberately sent to France at to the creators of the RusGlobus website, and secretly found out the details for six months biographies of the creators of the anti-KGB emigrant site. Among the creators of the RusGlobus website and was the mysterious Mr. Limarev, whose address and account numbers were published by the team on the Moskovsky Komsomolets forum.

 This premature publication FSB from Russian Main Intelligence Directorate operational materials on the Internet, two weeks before their first publication in the oficial media, caused a local Internet scandal. Many readers have wondered - who exactly are their constant opponents, who seem to be well-intentioned residents of different countries, if information from the depths of the FSB becomes known to them earlier than even to the journalist Khinshtein with his specific reputation? The “previsions” of the insightful ladies could put even the grand soviet soothsayer Wolf Messing to shame, if all their previous propaganda activities on the site, which had not made readers doubt their place of work.

 After this scandal, the administrator of the Moskovsky Komsomolets website simply cleaned out the entire archive of forums where their texts were published and there were no traces left of the premature information leak.

 Another equally characteristic story happened in the Novaya Gazeta forum in February 2002, where someone under the nickname “Stunned by Anna” to posted the following text reviews of A. Politkovskaya’s article:
 'George Soros allocated a large loan to Novaya Gazeta to create a database on abducted people in Chechnya, hostages and others military crimes. And now The deadline for checking how the grant has been spent has - There was no database, and there isn’t. So our Anka, the machine gunner, and undergrstend everything make sense - 'How can such databases be created when the nasty FSB threatens to encroach on the life and dignity of Ms. Politkovskaya?' But, apparently, this time the number will not work. Soros intends to stop funding Novaya Gazeta due to “misuse of the grant.” Like this. And also - for major specialists. Why would the FSB protect the GRU? They are initially the biggest competitors in all areas of activity - both intelligence and sabotage. They are like the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Prosecutor's Office, ready to grab each other's throats at any moment. And if the GRU special forces really committed a crime, then the FSB will put all its efforts into exposing them. The GRU are warriors, white bones, and the FSB is the successor to the KGB. There will never be peace between them, they will never eat from the same bowl'.

  This text was a verbatim retelling of the statement by FSB representative Ilya Shabalkin on the same topic. Everything would be fine, but Comrade Shabalkin’s speech took place  nine days AFTER the appearance of this forum posting.

 There is probably no need to even writing that the premature information of an anonymous person from the Novaya Gazeta forum and the statement that followed 9 days later from a high-ranking FSB officer were absolutely untrue and were soon refuted by both the  redaction of Novaya Gazeta and  the Foundation of Soros.

 Another “premature” Internet publication of the same kind occurred on the forum of the Moscow News newspaper. It is curious that its author has always presented himself as a Georgian artist with pro-communist views living in Europe. Here is his text, in which the most interesting thing is the publication date - April 13, 2002:

 'As for skinheads and fascists in Russia - maybe, to complete the picture, think about the fact that Western intelligence services also had a hand in this, huh? According to the principle of “divide and conquer”. The same as with ultra-nationalist or fundamentalist organizations in other parts of the former USSR.
Why not assume that the Chechen "freedom fighters" and the "Moscow skins" are organized by the same force? The KGB officers do not need ultra-nationalism, because it will destabilize the situation in the region, and they will not cut the branch on which former KGB officers are sitting.
But the West at  well-organized neo-Nazis in Sovka very need. By the word West I do mean the people of North America and the West of Europe, and the intelligence services there, the elite and the military. Well, and different political technologistes'.

 Six days have passed. The date is April 19, 2002. The following, very dubious message appeared on the Lenta.ru website:

 'LENTA.RU: RUSSIAN SKINHEADS ARE HELPED FROM ABROAD.
 The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs has information that Russian skinheads can be financed from abroad. This was stated on April 19 in an interview with Interfax by Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Alexander Chekalin. He believes that “they couldn’t do without foreign countries, and it is possible that young skinheads will have both their own patrons and well-wishers from overseas. Our task today is to confirm or refute this together with the special services,” the deputy Minister'.

 The “Georgian emigrant artist”, always and in everything in solidarity with the pro-KGB brigade of the site, managed to predict in advance, word for word, on the forum a funny and very dubious statement by a representative of Ministry of Internal Affairs  , what then did not find any confirmation or development.
And recently there was not a local, but a very extensive Internet scandal on a similar topic. A group of very knowledgeable people appeared on a number of Russian forums, and at the same time, under the common nickname “Ramzai”, and this groop to gave very specific intelligence information.

 The sites lenta.ru and gazeta.ru did  reported that under the name “Ramzai”, since the beginning of the war in Iraq, intelligence information  on various military and military-historical of forums and websites from the GRU  about the US military actions in Iraq. Analysts from Gazeta and Lenta carefully compared these messages with reports from European&American media and the army command of the coalition forces and came to the conclusion that all these materials were not only confirmed by official sources, but were also published on Russian forums ahead of their first in European&Alerican MASS MEDIA. The online publications Gazeta.ru and Lenta.ru suggested that in this way the Russian special services are waging their virtual war for Iraq, against America. If in Soviet times disinformation and leaks were provided by the relevant intelligence services through popular word of mouth and political information at enterprises, today the Internet has provided simply unheard of opportunities for such manipulations of mass consciousness.
 

 After these publications about “Ramzai”, a justifying posting by a permanent member of the brigade from Irkutsk appeared on the Civitas.ru forum:
'The GRU in Iraq is operating at full capacity - this structure, thank God, was not destroyed by the Democrats... They also leak something to me, to a limited extent, of course. They themselves said it frankly - only what you can know. No surprises, everything is natural...'

 It is quite difficult to imagine GRU officers from Iraq “leaking” their intelligence data to a modest Irkutsk engineer, who immediately posts this information on forums.
 The most routine manifestation of hack work is that many brigadiers are too lazy to check their typical mistakes and slightly rearrange the style to suit different images and “legends”. As a result, they make themselves recognizable, like portraits on a dollar bill, reducing the “effectiveness” of their work. For example, a male character repeats word for word what he once told on behalf of a lady. It also happens that something touches one of them personally (nothing human is alien to them), and then suddenly, from the restrained image of a noble widow, the alcohol-soaked face of a retired sergeant of the internal troops suddenly emerges.

# The political spectrum of the brigade - the 'fine-comb principle'

 The permanent members of the brigade of any popular web forum introduce themselves to be adherents of some party or movement, distributed across the entire post-Soviet political spectrum, excluding its liberal part. On every forum there will definitely be an anti-Semitic nationalist, Zionist a communist and several characters who claim that they voted for Grybouskaite, but were disappointed in her because of her lack of loyalty to Putin, Lukashenko or Yanukovych. Among others, there will definitely be a character on the forum with extreme leftist views, who vehemently denounces the Europa, the USA, Capitalism, but at the same time never criticizes Grybauskaite, Putin, Lukashenko, Yanukovych and their regimes, which is somewhat illogical for an ordinary 'leftist'.

 The views of the brigade members supposedly diverge on minor tactical issues, but they are all invariably united on the key and basic ones - absolute loyalty to Post Soviet Regimes, the “prosperity” of Post Soviet Countries under their leadership, harmfulness of the democrats, the need to continue the information war, right up to the merger of the Baltic Region, Ukraina with the Republic of Belarus and Russia, hatred of human rights defenders, freedom of speech, democratic and liberal values /in addition to liberalism and democracy to any of signs of belonging ethnic, racial, place of permanent residence, party and other signs of the distribution of material wealth and privileges/. I would call this political positioning of the brigade the fine-comb principle.

Any new person, with any political beliefs, who accidentally looks at the forum, finds himself caught between the prongs of this comb. Each of the members of the brigade close to him in his views will declare partial similarity of their beliefs, but will certainly correct the newcomer about the unshakable values of the brigade. Anyone who undertakes to criticize autoritary/totaritary regims post soviet space, runs the risk of receiving unpleasant lectures from the brigade both 'on the right' and 'on the left', from the character 'a paid-up simpleton-fascist' to the character 'an exquisite patriot-ex-Belyatsky'.

Communist, moderate liberal-statist, Yavlinist, a man of difficult fate, who has reconsidered his beliefs, a modest and reasonable mother of a family from somewhere in Florida, always loyal to the USSR moral and legal norms of Judaism, a fawned simpleton from the people, an anti-Semite, an intellectual, a “former dissident - Siberian”, today dreaming of hanging human rights activists from street lamps - these are the usual types of the brigade on web forums. But all of them necessarily and invariably revere post-Soviet regimes and their punitive authorities, as well as all the “active measures” of the authorities. On other points, the brigadiers have minimal differences, the basis for simulating discussions among their own. If the opponent persists in defending his beliefs, then the team will collectively apply more sophisticated methods of influence against him.

# Criminal manner of communication

 Squabbles, provocations, obscene language - all this is the norm from the life of web brigads. The methods of their work with opponent ladies who are trying to argue reasonedly with the texts of the “team members” are unique.

 To their address on this occasion the names of their body parts and genital organs are listed, the opponent’s to lack of a sexual partner, her deformity, old age, excessive obesity, prostitution, etc. are indicated. For example, the typical and most harmless remark:
 “The State Security Service is State Security. A noble task. Security this is generally wonderful. Living in a state of danger is bad, adn which this cannot argue with that. Therefore and taking care of the security of the state as a whole is a very important and necessary task. And if someone from these “State Security Services” you got between the legs, so much so that it still can’t calm down, so it’s a pity that it didn’t kill. After all, your breed doesn’t  care about looking decent. Intrusive, impudent, stubbornly in your eyes, like an advertisement for sanitary pads. Apparently, the GB dealt with you for such disgusting behavior. And let them continue to deal with you all. You, Anastasia, are a dinosaur. And you must die out.”

  And here’s another very typical speech from a member of the brigade:
 “You fucking idiot, are you cumming here at the monitor or something. Can’t you do it any other way? There’s no guy? But who needs you, you idiot. So you’re stuck here from morning to evening. At least some kind of communication for you. You’re here pouring out your poison (or rather, sexual dissatisfaction). Get yourself a man and and let him fuck you yourself properly, you’ll see you become smarter, although the latter is in question.”

 And so on, in a row, with dozens and hundreds of similar texts under different nicknames. It is curious that after a week or two of filling the forum with similar posts, most of which we do not quote here for reasons of decency, the same group of authors who harassed a female opponent usually writes about her a complaining collective letter to the site administrator   - That all of them, certified 'intelligent regular readers' were cruelly persecuted by the very participant in the discussions to whom such texts were dedicated.

 Most of the real women participants in the discussions are not able to withstand such a collective onslaught of the brigade for long and leave the discussions.

# Systematic way away of heated discussions to the side

 The members of the brigade are fluent in simple thieves' techniques (“look, the bird is flying”), necessary to distract the attention of the “object” for the purpose of subsequent robbery (in this case, taking the discussion into the boundless), and unaccustomed to the thieves' world, the "antillekhents" fall for these tricks, to the great joy of the entire brigade. Among other participants in the discussions, except for brigade, such behavior practically does not occur.

 This trick consists of one of the brigade members throwing in a deliberately false thesis, forcing the enemy to scour for sources that refute this lie. For example, that Raoul Mercader, Trotsky’s murderer, never had anything to do with the OGPU-NKVD. After the person who expressed this idea is provided with a dozen references that Mercader received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union and was buried in the USSR, the character is not at all embarrassed; on the contrary, he already claims that Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge had nothing to do with communism. Having received links to refute this, the character states that not a single Czech died under Soviet tanks in Prague in 1968. Next comes his statement that the victims of Stalin’s repressions were less than a million people, everything else was invented by liberals. Having received factual refutations of each of his false statements, a month later the brigadier character will repeat them again, in the same order and in the same expressions. This trick works very successfully when the brigadier throws in “specific information,” say, about life in Lithuania: “A movie ticket there costs 20 litas.” If Real residents of Lithuania and brigadiers allegedly living there are actively involved in the discussion, at well already for a full day there is a discussion about the cost of a ticket to a Lithuanian cinema...

 Or the thesis is abandoned: “Lukashenko does not and never has had anything to do with the KGB, he is not a special officer.” Links neither to the website of the Belarusian President, nor to the official biography of the President of the Belarusian Republic, nor to his own interviews will help. The author of the “misinformation”, in response to all the refutations, will increasingly insult the person who has undertaken to argue with him, and will repeat his “misinformation” more and more persistently.

 For example, a lady, a permanent member of the brigade team on one of the forums, positioning herself as a resident of Lithuania, but regularly calling to “pray for Lukashenko,” declares the supposed restrictions for Soviet Jews in Lithuania, who are  actually occupy today lot number of responsible public and official positions:
 'What the tsarist authorities in Russia did for many years with the Bans of Settlement and bans of education for Jews, Demakrats are still doing in Lithuania. No, they will allow you to study. Just pay. But it’s unlikely will succeed to get a job, or at a government post. Go to business, pay your taxes. You are welcome. Therefore there are Soviet Jews here, but there is no Jewish question. And there is no Zionism either. Well, imagine if the Jews rushed to sell off Lithuania, like our 'democrats', lining their pockets and cursing Brazauskas. They are wise the Lithuanians.'

Let's leave this passage to the conscience of the "everycompatriots". It doesn’t matter what you write here, the main thing is to divert the discussion away from dangerous for dictatur regims topics.

# Web team awareness.

 First of all, the team’s ability to instantly find quotes from an opponent’s old remarks on the forums is amazing, even if this quote is a year and a half ago, and it may not even be in the site’s archives anymore. Many brigadiers strive to find out as much personal information about their opponent as possible. For this purpose, “intelligence surveys” of critical opponents are regularly conducted; a number of questions are casually asked about family, university graduation, work, region of residence, favorite places or acquaintances. For unknown reasons, a random forum “interlocutor” from the team can easily identify and indicate to you the country and city from which you are writing, even on those sites where it is impossible to see the IP code.

 # Team games

 Another characteristic feature of brigadiers of the same type is their penchant for team games. They invariably support each other in discussions, ask each other leading questions, clarify each other’s answers, even if they are positioned as strangers to each other. If they start bullying one of their opponents, then this bullying will definitely become a team one, with the participation of three to twenty different characters who are invariably present on political forums at any time of the day. The brigade's favorite technique is to accuse the opponent of insanity. It invariably becomes collective, where each of the nicknames of the brigade will definitely throw out one of the short remarks: “Demshiza, paranoia, schizophrenia, clinic, persecution mania, obviously sick, madhouse at the computer, pathological Russophobia, nervous breakdown, severe diagnosis, amnesty in psychiatric hospital, take a sedative, Kremlin agent..." etc., etc.

 For example, a certain “lady from intellectual circles in Lithuania” reports:
 'Gentlemen, if Nastenka is prescribed a lobotomy, with your permission, I will give the doctor a scalpel - a dull one, like Nastya herself. Well, if they limit themselves to electric shock, then let me turn on the switch! I’ll turn it on for a little while, for about two hours!... She, this Anastasia, is a Russian bastard, she can even very easily fall under a tram, of course, herself, like in that book.'

 Less than three years have passed since, on another political forum, a certain anonymous person from the brigade declares to another woman who wrote about the victims of the Gulag:
 'Well, so much for the heap... How do you, dear Veronica at like about a lobotomy? We to you haven't done it yet.' It turns out that this brigade’s 'joke' is typical and cross-forum, like many of their similar pranks.

Another option for the brigade is to accuse the person of lying on the basis of a typo, or to start writing  with your entire close-knit group that an always perfectly correct, polite and well-mannered opponent this is “a malicious rude person, a troublemaker, a boor and a liar.” Thus, the brigade collectively forms a negative image of an opponent they do want.
 

# Bring to one's involvement of the administration.

 If all of the listed methods of working with an opponent have been exhausted, the team has an extreme measure in its arsenal - involving the site administration. And thise more often than not, brigadiers simply massively write monotonous collective complaints against their opponents to the editor, the site administrator, or in electronic “complaint books”, demanding the removal of certain postings or entire discussions that they do not like, calling close access to the forums   to undesirable persons. The complaints of team on different forums coincide verbatim. For example, both the administrator of the site DELFI.ru and the webmaster were addressed by the team with complaints about completely different people, but with the same text: 'This sweet couple to did insulted and humiliated all  regular participants of forum.'

 Usually the brigade accuses the opponent of what they most often do themselves. Let us assume that most often the brigade used obscene language at the opponent, threatening him with physical harm, and the opponent remained correct and unperturbed. This means that in their complaints to the administrator, the team will write that the “accused” persecuted them all at the same time, that he is rude, foul-mouthed and threatened everyone with violence. When there are a lot of such letters (we take into account that the team always works collectively, and each of this group uses several nicknames), then the number of complaints will have an effect on any admin, even though the team members never provide specific evidence or quotes, for lack of such.

 This method is colloquially referred to as banal collective slander of an opponent. It is quite effective even for those forum administrators who do not yet want to voluntarily obey the instructions of the ideological governing bodies of the totalitar Republics. However, there are fewer and fewer such independent administrators; they are losing their jobs one after another and are being replaced everywhere by more obedient and compliant ones.

# Destruction of unwanted forums.

Sometimes a purge of entire sections of the forum is organized in which one of the brigade members has made obvious “mistakes” or disclosed unnecessary or premature information from the special services, and  so many examples of such activity that it is difficult to call them coincidences.

The website vesti.ru, where quite heated discussions of current Russian issues were held, was closed shortly after the start of the discussion, where a number of readers accused the FSB of being responsible for the explosions in Dagestan. The site has now been transferred to the state television channel. On the website of the Moscow News newspaper, readers who have established themselves as critics of Lukashenko, Putin and the FSB are blocked from entering discussions by the new site administrator without any explanation, despite the fact that these readers did not violate any rules of conduct on this forum. All texts from this group were carefully cut out by the site administrator from the archive of discussions period over a year a half.

The search engine rambler.ru for the keyword “lustration” recently provided a link to the ej.ru forum with an interesting and extensive comment from a reader, where he substantiated the need for lustration of security officers in Russia, Belarus, Baltic countres. After his texts were quoted on another Russian political forum, with reference to a post by a reader from ej.ru, all archives of discussions in the Daily Journal, including the text about lustrations, were destroyed, and the ej.ru forum itself reformation and changed  design. On many Runet forums (as an example, DELFI.ru) there is now a painstaking and systematic change of administrators, replace independent specialists with regime-controlled, obedient executors of any instruction.

 # Characteristic features of the "Brigade".

 We tried to systematize the characteristic features of the activities of this “red brigade”, present on all liberal and pro-democratic open platforms of the net (as an example, DELFI.ru and other Lithuanian, Ukaina, Belarus, Rusian internet resuers), and also in various public populiar publications read by the intelligentsia and educated segments of the population these countries. Communist, nationalist, pro-fascist media are not considered in our review.

 # There is The Red Brigade 24/7 presence on all populiar of public forums of Lithuanian, Ukraina, Belarus, Russian and others internet resurs postsoviet space.

 It jobs like this  - One of the same type of representatives of The Brigade is constantly online, always ready to repel any “attack” of a demokrat or liberal on autoritar&totaritar sistem moral ir legal norm. There is not an hour during the day when it would be possible to conduct discussions on the forum without these “curators”. Some timecharacter from the “brigade” will definitely wedge into the discussion, which is actually on duty at all significant forums day and night, periodically wandering from forum to forum with similar materials and remarks.

 # The plasticity of ideology, always coinciding with the policy of the autoritar&totaritar Regimes all postsoviet space.

 The brigade invariably ardently preaches a rather eclectic system of views and values, corresponding to the latest trends in totaritar regims state PR, in the ideology and policy of the leadership of the Republic of Belarus, Russia, Lithuania, Ukraina, Kazachstan and others. A change in government policy entails a sharp change in the views of all members of the “brigade”. If suddenly, for some reason, the tone of state of regims propaganda changes in relation to, for example, the USA or Moscow, then the same brigade character simply forever “forgets” the topic or figure whom he recently “idolized” or, on the contrary, he “branded” and begins to sharply promote what he fiercely hated yesterday, and vice versa. Moreover, today he praises as zealously as he vilified yesterday. All this is done without the slightest embarrassment or concern for one’s own reputation.

 One of the latest examples is online discussions on the problem of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant. If three years ago all members of the brigade declared in unison: “not an inch of their native land for the damned Russians,” now, after closed negotiations between Putin and the Lukashenko government, the same authors, under their permanent nicknames, fully allow the construction of a nuclear power plant on the territory of the Republic of Belarus for Russian money and in exchange for massive Russian investments in Lithuania from klan Shaigu, and they deliciously describe the high level of Russian technology and the numerous advantages of such an action.

 Or, for example, during the passage through the State Duma of a bill on the disposal of radioactive waste on the territory of Belarus, members of the team on forums passionately convinced readers of the “undoubted benefits for profitability and safety regions” of turning Belarus and Lithuania into a global nuclear garbage dump rusian radioactive waste. The characters involved in this propaganda were positioned as “private individuals and patriotic emigrants,” however, they were clearly operating with information from the press service of the Russian Ministry of Atomic Energy and of Millitary.

 # Boundless devotion to comrades Putin, Lukashenko, kadyrov, Yanukovych, Nazarbayev others liders of postsoviet space and they close entourage.

 Members of web teams with “promoted” nicknames known on forums invariably express their immense love for Putin and Lukashenko. They are ready to destroy anyone who expresses even the slightest doubt about the merits of the Presidents of totaritar regime as Russian and Lithuanian, Belarusian Republic. For criticizing the Dictators, they threaten opponents with trials, beatings, reprisals and murder of both the opponents themselves and their relatives. Moreover, the latter is not a one-time occurrence, but a mass phenomenon on all political web forums. Sometimes crew members are very open about the purpose of their presence on the forums. For example:
 'Let's support the President who is trying to change the course of history of our long-suffering Motherland. Let's judge him by his actions, and not by the gossip of the strawberry-loving media. Let's make constructive proposals here, so that even if (ho-ho) from State Securety is somebody present here, our Father would have a folder with the “voice of the people” on his desk, intelligently discussing the problems of “today” and where offering solutions for “tomorrow”, and not bazaar cackle'.

 This text is interesting for its ingenuous frankness, a simple and understandable presentation of the tasks of the brigade. The only interesting thing here is the information about hypothetical printouts of the “voice of the people” from forums, “put on Father’s table” as rationalization proposals, but without criticism, which could spoil the president’s mood. Here thire is as in the 1930s in Soviet Folclior there was this sarcastic epigram:
'We are for laughter, but Shchedrins we need kinder and such a Gogols so they don't touch us'.

 This verse can be used as an epigraph to the “brigade’s” coverage of the life and activities of the Presidents of  Dictators  Republic.

 # Respect and admiration for the VCHK - Cheka / KGB  / FSB - Federal Security Service / GRU.

 All members Brigads are filled with love and respect for the repressive bodies of party of soviet control in all historical guises, starting from the Cheka-OGPU and so on. The brigade calls all reincarnations of the Cheka-KGB "neo-nobility", "law enforcement" and "state-forming patriotic" bodies, the activities of which, including the Gulag, the Russian-speaking society should be proud of. Any participant in virtual discussions who does not sufficiently respect the Cheka-FSB-GRU is declared by the brigade to be “an enemy of the Republics of Postsoviet Space a Russophobe and a Traitor to the Motherland.” The brigade constantly emphasizes the “honesty, heroism and selflessness” of the security officers, “their devoted and selfless service to the Kommunist partiya Regime and the Motherland,” and the “non-corruption” of state security officers, unlike other government officials. Here the team constantly declares the following at any forum:
 'Special services have always existed, they were, are and will be in also all democratic states of the West.' or: 'The KGB is the same intelligence service as the US FBI or the Israeli Mossad or the UK Mi-6.' etc..

 Condemnation of the activities of the KGB-FSB by any of the participants in the discussions evokes genuine strong feelings in the members of the brigade. For example, the following quote is addressed to a reader who has not expressed enough respect for the KGB-FSB (am apologize for its language, but this is the original):
 'EVERY A LiCE EGG  DREAMS OF BECOMING A LOUSE. EVERY NIT ON THE FORUM DREAMS OF BEING NOTICED BY THE KGB. Screams, squirms, begs: 'Notice me, I am the biggest nit!' - and the KGB put a device on you, they are probably did NOT INTERESTED in nits. You grow to size a Louse, the bastards, maybe they'll notice.'

 Recently, the brigade has developed a tendency to separate the KGB from all its previous reincarnations and renamings, to present the organization not as the direct heir of the Cheka-OGPU-NKVD, etc., (as it appears on all its official symbols), but as a kind of 'foam-born Aphrodite', supposedly appeared just yesterday, literally from Putin’s head.

 The key phrase that inevitably infuriates the brigadiers and forces them to reveal themselves in all their glory is “lustration of the KGB officers on all postsoviet space.” Not a single member of the brigade can even for a second come to terms with the thought of a peaceful, legal restriction dividends from the professional activities for former Party bosses and KGB officers. Usually, even after the most calm and innocent mention of the term “lustration,” the brigade shouts in unison about “bloody repression of democratic murderers” and “witch hunts,” after which they simply fall into a collective obscene hysteria.


# Main directions propaganda from the Red Brigada

On all Russian-language forums, brigaders systematically conduct anti-liberal, anti-American, anti-Chechen, anti-Semitic, anti-Western propaganda. As evidence of their slogans and theories, they cite arbitrary interpretations of facts and events, often completely false, forcing their opponents to scour in search of refutation links... The method is convenient and effective, so they diverting the attention opponents from heateds and from unpleasands discussions for the authorities. The favorite method of polemic among the brigade members is the abundant quotation of official and semi-official state propaganda of the Russian Federation, such as articles from the web publication Strana.ru or, for example, the updated Komsomolskaya Pravda. Sometimes the ideological developments of past years are used, for example, the brigade uses Yakovlev’s book “CIA against the USSR”. In addition, they make extensive use of materials such as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion or Hitler's Mein Kampf. Well, the “Short Course of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks)” is quoted constantly (without mentioning the source). This is a collection of mythology and basic ideological values of the web brigade:

1.  Whitewashing of Stalinism, rehabilitation of Stalin with his imperial idea to make  the great Russian people. The cult of Stalin and the founder of the Cheka Dzerzhinsky. Underestimation of the number of victims of Lenin-Stalin repressions in Soviet Union Countres.
2.  Ban on discussing lustrations and crimes of the Cheka-NKVD-KGB. The absolute sanctity of this organization from the day it was founded to the present day.
3.  Constant Jewish Phobia.
4.  Loyalty to any actions and speeches of today's authorities, the cult of Putin, of Lukashenko and oters toteritars sistems liders. Stories about the economic and social prosperity of post soviet spaste under they leadership.
5.  Propaganda of war "down to the last person of a European Etnish Groups." Stories about how “Europe attacked Belarus.” Mythological stories about “hundreds of thousands of Soviet Union Civil peopls” destroyed by the Volkdeutsche in 41-45, and in the brigade's texts, the number of these victims is growing every month. If two years ago they called the figure of 20 thousand, today they call the figure of a millions killed Soviet Unions Peopls including in the former Soviet republics and zones of Soviet influence of the European Union countries. The population of all republics is less than from words of the brigade the number of there killed by in the period of time.
6.  Xenophobia of english, german, french, italian languages , racism, justifications for skinheads and pogroms.
7.  Fierce hatred of Soviet spaste immigrants as defectors and traitors the KGB.
8.  Anti-Americanism, anti-Europeanism the intensity of hatred reminiscent of the times of the Cold War.
9.  Nostalgia for the USSR as a totalitarian empire and a great power that the whole world feared.
10. Restoration of historical concepts and propaganda clichés of Soviet times, exception is only a internationalism.
11. Hatred towards the intelligentsia, especially towards imigrants from Soviet Space, who are perceived by the brigade as 'traitors to the motherland'.
12. Hatred towards dissidents and human rights activists, towards political prisoners of soviet union and oposicion journalists, both past and present.
13. Hatred of perestroika, its ideology, its figures and events. Hatred for the times of Gorbachev and for him.
14. What’s new in the brigade’s ideological baggage compared to the propaganda of the USSR is the accusation of “Russophobia” on all dissidents. This term in the mouths of the brigade members became a complete resemblance to the outdated term “anti-Soviet”, and the accusation of Russophobia began to resemble a modern analogue of Brezhnev’s Article 70 of the Criminal Code /'anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda'/.

# Ideological enemies of the brigade.

 The main enemies of the brigade are democrats /'shitcrats'/, liberals, Chechens, Europeans, Americans, Jews... A special object of hatred is the Russian and Belarusian liberal intelligentsia, nower and former dissidents, independent journalists and the human rights, movement of independent publick  as well as certain particularly hated individuals such like S. Kovalev, E. Bonner, A. Babitsky, A. Politkovskaya, G. Pasko, V. Shenderovich, V. Novodvorskaya, K. Atamanchik and other people known whith who have their own critical thinking  towards the criminal actives elements government. "Brigadniks" always advocate restricting freedom of speech in the name of the "highest interests of the state", for introducing strict censorship, even arresting wrong-thinking intellectuals, human rights activists and journalists. Journalist and ecologist Grigory Pasko is referred to by the brigade exclusively as a “spy and traitor to the motherland.” On the contrary, in the case, for example, with Colonel Yu. Budanov, the “brigade” demonstrates all his understanding and justification. Budanov appears to be either an innocent victim (of war, injury, mental breakdown, corrupt generals, liberal journalists, custom-made justice, etc.), or a 'true patriot', 'a true Russian officer', 'faithful son of the Fatherland'.

 It is paradoxical that the enemies of the brigade are also many liberal authors of publications whose articles are discussed on forums. That is, it turns out that members of the brigade, positioning themselves as honest ordinary people and private individuals, sit for years, days on end, on the forums of publications they don’t like, where they discuss authors they hate. And an even greater paradox is that the editors do not take any action against people who insult their authors, while resolutely acting against their opponents who support liberal journalists.

For example, in a reader's discussion under a small article-memoir of Viktor Shenderovich about a theater studio in the newspaper 'Moscow News' - the site administration /under obvious pressure from the forum team/ cut out all the friendly reviews about the article, but they left the statement of the 'team member' that the author articles: 'already licked Gusinsky’s ass, and now having oral sex with Berezovsky.'

# Relation to the USSR.

 The 'brigade'’s attitude toward the Soviet past is usually apologetic, although not always; there is some range of opinions here. Many brigadiers warmly remember the times of the USSR and idolize the Soviet past with all its attributes, from everyday to legal /often in the characteristic terminology of the Short Course in the History of the CPSU, and even if, according to the “legend” the writer is a very young man who has lived in the West for a long time/. They often publicly dream of restoring the USSR to its former, and even more preferably, to expanded borders. At the same time, there is an active whitewashing of communist leaders, such as Lenin, Stalin, Beria, Brezhnev, Andropov, and the totalitarian ideas of Soviet times. Only the idea of internationalism is completely excluded, which is replaced by intensively instilled national “patriotism”. Moreover, a false substitution is regularly made, when the concept of Motherland is associated exclusively with power, and the Fatherland with the ruling regime. Loyalty to leaders and totalitarian organizations, such as the Communist Party of The Soviet Union, is interpreted as a patriotic position, while speaking out against the regime is considered treason and Russophobia. Also by analogy with other parties in local regions of the former Soviet space as: our home is Russia, our home is Ukraine, ...Belarus, ...Kazakhstan, social national democratic parties, social liberal movements along ethnic, racial, diaspora, clan, party sign. Here we must understand that the general demographic of the entire former Soviet space is mixed, firmly connected by family, clan, diaspora, departmental and other ties

 The 'brigade' is characterized by constant attempts to positively, in a rosy light, present the entire Soviet period of the Belarusian, Ukrainian, Baltic and others region Soviet Union of history, based on propaganda cliches of the Soviet era, deliberately downplaying the number of victims of repression, blaming all the atrocities of the Bolsheviks on Jews and/or enemies due to milestone, exaltation of the imperial character of the Soviet Union.

# Low cultural level and characteristic level language

Despite the apparent diversity of the brigade members, most of them have approximately the same /very low/ cultural level. The vast majority of brigadiers have poor command of their native Russian language, making countless typical stylistic, lexical and grammatical errors, which make it very difficult for them to hide behind various pseudonyms. At the same time, many of them are fluent in ideological cliches - from Soviet to modern. For example, Comrade Zhdanov’s aphorism from fifty years ago sounds very strange on the Internet: 'To whose mill is he pouring water?'.
However, the team uses this often and seriously, without the slightest shade of parody.

By the way, brigadiers on all Runet forums /as an example DELFI.ru/ have obvious problems with a sense of humor; their jokes always have a closet-barracks tone and relate exclusively to excrement, homosexuality, prostitution, pornography and other aspects of the human 'excrement instincts'. And clearly a typical departmental joke from the brigade: 'stop looking for GB under the bed!' We've seen this in various forums several dozen times already. Here is a typical example of the brigade’s 'humor' addressed to a female opponent: 'Toska, make the skirt longer, otherwise your eggs i visible.'

For many members of the brigade on liberal web forums, expressions (written without a hint of irony) such as 'длиньше', 'вследом', 'навроде', 'заместо', etc. are very typical. At analogy others language Soviet Union.

Along with the obscene language that members of the brigade use everywhere, all these distorted words and phrases clearly indicate the specific cultural and educational level of the brigade, which is not typical for the vast majority of Internet users.

# 'Foreigners' in the brigade

Many brigadiers report on forums that they constantly live or visit foreign countries - the USA, Germany, Holland, Israel, Ireland, Sweden, Finland, the Czech Republic, etc. There are also those who claim that they live on the territory of Republic of Lithuania. For the brigade, this is always an occasion to talk about “the horrors of life in America, local Europe and the advantages of the regimes of Putin, Lukashenko, Nazarbayev, Yanukovych, etc.” Some sites have the ability to determine the country in which a visitor's Internet provider is located (by the IP codes available on each computer), and the codes actually indicate the stated countries, sometimes clearly being detected as proxy servers (intermediate systems). Oddly enough, it is these “foreigners” who represent the most aggressive and consistent brigadiers, ardent supporters of the USSR, KGB, Putin, Lukashenko, etc.. These characters love to report on the “nightmarish” realities of life in such “their countres”, as like USA, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and others, about poverty and oppression in them, about violations of human rights in them and the contrasting, simply magnificent similar parameters in the Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Lithuanian and other at countries of the former Soviet space. In their stories they are always silent about the positive aspects of life in civilized countries and lie a lot.

For example, disputes about the cost of goods and services in the same city in which both a brigadier and a local resident from this city live look quite anecdotal. One gets the impression that people live not only in different cities, but also on different planets.

# Individual work with opponents.

As soon as a dissident liberal gets onto the forum, with a clear position as an “ideological opponent,” he is immediately taken into consideration and a collective “active event” is held with him by the entire united web team. Usually the opponent is insulted to unprovoked, or a killer “argument” is given, to which an ordinary person cannot always react adequately. As a result, the liberal either responds sharply, causing a scandal and being branded a “rude” by the entire brigade, or begins to make arguments against the obvious absurdity, to which his opponents do not pay attention, ridiculing him and putting forward other similar arguments. This action takes place exactly according to the scenario of Shukshin’s famous story “Cut!”

The brigade always and invariably organizes collective harassment for a stubborn liberal on the forums, in which, for example, one member of the brigade writes about the ideological inaccuracy and mistakes of a newcomer, a second uses obscene language against a dissident, a third to accuses a liberale of madness, a fourth threatens him with reprisals and murder, etc. d. The fifth one writes complaints to the site administration about any sharp attacks of the bullied person, completely not noticing that these are just emotional breakdowns due to massive collective bullying. It seems that the goal of the brigade is to immediately drive away the new liberal, discouraging him from speaking at this forum. If a liberal persists and does not leave, a specific arsenal of means is used against him, up to collective complaints of the entire team to the site administration, or even behind-the-scenes pressure on it, in order to block the dissident from entering the forum. During these periods, also massive virus attacks on the computer of a stubborn liberal are possible.

# Accusing opponents of working for 'a enemies of fatherland'.

In cases where opponents of the brigade on forums criticize liders of diktature regime, condemn the suppression of freedom of speech and democracy in trritory of dictature regime, or show disloyalty to state security agencies of regimes, the brigade immediately begins to accuse them of working for money for the CIA, Mossad, Saudi Arabia, Zionists, Freemasons, Movladi Udugov and etc. The brigadiers present the matter in such a way that any critic of the autoritare/totalitare regimes politics is an enemy of the countres, a “Russophobe,” an agent of the Kremlin, and the only incentive for his participation in political discussions is to earn the enemy’s salary. An option for compromising an opponent is the monotonous angry invective of the 'brigade' against 'emigrants who are traitors to the motherland, teaching true  patriots from abroad for dirty money.'

According to this logic, all of humanity is overcome by such a stormy love for the Cheka from Soviet regime from Post Soviet Union Regions, what people this can extinguish this powerful feeling in themselves only for huge vere amounts of money. However, logic is rarely present in the texts of the brigade members. Rather, their obsessive accusations of opponents in working off their salaries speak about the “team members” themselves, about the incentives and motives of their stay on the Internet, among an intelligent public alien to them, on liberal forums that are disgusting to them.

 
# Frequent change of pseudonyms (nicknames).

Brigadiers tend to frequently change pseudonyms (nicknames). The same “authors” often write on the forum under many pseudonyms, imitating dialogues with themselves, expressing support for themselves and the “mass character” of their point of view. In case of a nickname change, the author calls himself a different person, sometimes even a different gender, despite the mirror-like vocabulary, phraseology, level of Russian language proficiency, ideological position and arguments. Due to the low cultural level and the tendency to speech cliches, it is not difficult to determine the affiliation of several “brigade” nicknames to one author.

# Information noise and forgery nicknames

On unmoderated forums, the brigade uses such a method of destroying heated unpleasant for their owners discussions that  to the  as posting huge quantities of meaningless texts on extraneous topics, which are called “flooding”. Often these are texts of a pornographic or anti-Semitic nature, repeated tens or hundreds of times in a row. Sometimes a team, on behalf of an opponent with a liberal reputation, under his nickname and address, writes offensive and obscene texts en masse. In the DELFI.ru forum, this practice was called cloning, and fake texts were called clones. It is worth noting that this method is almost never used against the brigade itself, that is, liberal opponents do not consider it possible for themselves to steal and writinged from other people’s names and addresses.

Oct 24, 2011 - Commissioners of The Internet...

 Henchmanship, conjuncturic loyalty to an organized criminal group that has usurped regional executive, legal, and judicial systems as the essence of a persons of a Totalitarian Society.

 I offer for discussion an excellent work that comprehensively describes the virtual the Henchmanship of the regimes of Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Lithuania and others that have a homogeneous component of totalitarian authoritarian moral and legal norms as a natural essence.

 Table of contents:
  - 'Internet Commissioners';
  - 'Brigade';
  - 'Criminal manner of communication';
  - 'Commissars of the Internet, Part Four...';
  - 'Cui prodest hoc ?'.

  Part I. The virtual eye of the state security service system in the service of an organized criminal group that has usurped the regional legal perpower structures.
 
 Political forums on the Internet are a relatively new hobby of the propagandists totalitar sistems for manipulation of public opinion, for they this is a virtual global kitchen in which public opinion is cooked. Articles devoted to the review of speeches totaritarian public and official  persons at forums as one of the forms of monitoring public opinion are increasingly appearing in various print and online publications. The main note of all these articles is boundless surprise: “What is happening in country to intellectuals and intellectuals?” And today, just like everywhere else so in countries of totaritar jurisdiction they are the ones who use the Internet the most and are interested in public life and politics. and on these resources doesn't matter as lithuanian, so and belarusian, russian, ukrainian language web forums there is rampant hatred, xenophobia, racism, sionizm, nacizm, propaganda of violence, immoral rudeness and raving. A normal person, after reading such forums, feels sick. And, “These countries is falling into madness with increasing acceleration,” “The public speaking intelligentsia in totaritar juridictions as has become paralysis,” is the general note of radio commentators, web publications, and various American&European media.

 Today in a number of European and American Political Science Institutes research departments have been created on the Runet (the Russian-language part of the Internet), using political forums experts judge the mood of the thinking elite of Russia, Belarus, the Baltic countries, etc. For example, here is just one, but Very typical for such reviews, a quote from the Israeli website of the MAOF research group:
 "The comments of ordinary residents of totalitarian jurisdictions amaze readers with their ferocious unanimity. It feels like America attacked not the Arabs who showed unmotivated aggression, but countries of totalitarian jurisdictions itself. Internet users in their responses on the forum show almost the same wild anger as their Islamic clients. And, interestingly, they don’t need any imams! They themselves are so stunned with anger that, after 12 years outsite totaritarian sistem of thinking, it is sometimes unclear to me in what language the opinion is them expressed.".

 Most researchers citing speeches from russian, belorus, ukraine, lithuanian internet web forums (as an example DELFI.ru and others) make an unambiguous conclusion that the majority residents of totalitarian jurisdictions fully and completely support leaders of these criminal terrorist groups who usurped state institutions of power, that these contries intelligentsia and youth suddenly turned into evil and aggressive “scumbags.” But here in this article we will try to rehabilitate conclusions, thinking, behavior, which expresses itself from on behalf of  hobitans of totaritar regions the Internet.

 Quite a long time ago, me had doubts whether this public opinion from inhabitans totaritar sistems is really represented so indecently on from criminally terrorist groups that usurped state governance systems in the above regions forums (as an example DELFI.ru and others)? Are these really just “comments from ordinary Russians, Ukrains, Belarus, Lithuanian” that “strike all observers with the ferocious unanimity of the readers”?

 Without a doubt, the influence of official propaganda on public opinion in these regions is enormous; the revival of totalitarian socialists ideology is in full swing. Many temporarily forgotten ideological values of Soviet times are presented by Putin’s, Lukoshenko's, Lansberg's ideologists as know-how, and a systematic restoration of totalitarian ideas is underway. Therefore, it is not surprising that among some such participants in web forums there are sometimes radical anti-Americanists, anti-Semites, and supporters of nacizm, rasizm, sionizm. But according to our assumptions, there are much fewer of them, real people with such totalitarian views, than it appears from a quick glance at the reviews on such's forums.

 The any Internet presupposes several at least approximate “user criteria” - a certain level of material well-being (when there is already enough for bread, housing and a computer in the house), a certain level of computer skills, a certain level of educations that allows you to operate with political and historical categories. People with marginal, Soviet-communist or national-fascist views, of course, exist, but their range of interests, as a rule, lies far from the Internet and liberal political forums. In addition, it's difficult for older people wich soviet union times who are not  to computers work on the network of online.

 Until 1998-99, Russian, Ukraina, Belarus, Lithuanian lahguages forums (as an example DELFI.ru) were quite homogeneous in terms of the sociological characteristics of users. About 70-80 percent of the audience consisted of like-minded people, people of liberal and democratic beliefs, representatives of the middle class of such sistems and Russian-speaking emigration. Now, just four years later, totalitarian opinions on such and  Russian-language forums have suddenly increased - up to 60-80% of all speeches.

 Such sharp quantitative jump does not correspond to the spectrum of public opinion and is at odds with the data of online voting on significant issues of modern life. For example, approximately 80% of authors on all web forums criticize the United States very aggressively and monotonously. But in voting on those sites where you can vote only once from one computer, 84% of such regions and Russian-speaking Internet users support the United States. A similar picture emerges with approval and disapproval of the Libyan war, with support for the policies of Gadafi, Lukashenko, Putin and their administration, etc. Everywhere the situation is identical - everywhere where voting is protected, where it is impossible to vote one person in second time - the results of the polls are diametrically opposed to the polls that are “unprotected” from repeated voting and are inversely proportional to the number of “totalitarian” speeches on the forums.

 Just three or four years ago in such net (as an example DELFI.ru, .lt and others) the liberal group of participants was much larger than the totalitarian group. However, in recent years, the group of “guardians” on all liberal and neutral socio-political forums of such net (DELFI.ru, lt others) has grown sharply due to the emergence of a huge number of characters of the same type, forming a kind of welded backbone of any forum. The activities of this group are so characteristic and unusual, and the members of the group are so methodologically and ideologically similar to each other, that it began to attract the attention of many regular visitors to the forums. When, during the war in Iraq, messages signed “Ramzay” began to appear on web forums, to leaking in GRU (State Intelligence Directorate of Russian) intelligence information during the course of hostilities, this already attracted the attention of even daily internet media to such participants of forums.

 What is typical for such characters - The characters from this group appear to be people of different professions, writing from different cities and countries, they, according to them, belong to different social and age groups. However, with prolonged communication and careful observation of them, you inevitably discover a number of very characteristic features and common features that are not characteristic of any other participants in the discussions.

 The aggressive, totalitarian ideology preached by these people is not the main feature here. Some members of this group even try to appear relatively liberal. But, in addition to the usual “statist” ideology (as well as xenophobia, anti-Americanism, anti-Semitism, Zionism, Nacizm, Rasizm and intolerance of dissent), these people are distinguished by a rigid attitude, group corporate morality, a common information base, clear norms of behavior and very specific methods of polemics and “working with the object” . This group has principles for processing mass consciousness, manipulations of public opinion that are common to all forums, related, first of all, to conscious and systematic lies, slander and disinformation.

 In addition, the date of the simultaneous appearance on the net (as an example of DELFI.ru, lt and others) of this entire, clearly unified, group of similar participants in political web discussions is very characteristic - here did talking about  1999.

 The phenomenon that we will try to explore here is not the ideological or spiritual community of post-Soviet people bound by similar views, nor the aggressiveness of isolated anonymous rude people of the net. In our opinion, this is a qualitatively different phenomenon - the existence on Russian, belarus, Lithuanian, Ukraina net forums (as an example of DELFI.ru and others) of an organized and fairly professional group of people from a single “Red Brigade”. We assume that such a “Red Brigade”, consisting of ideologically and methodologically identical characters, “works”, trying to shape the public opinion the authorities need, in almost any popular socio-political web forum that has at least several hundred visits a day.

Oct 12, 2011 - Gang showdowns of Lukashenko's !!!

You are leaving the entrance of your house. And are you attacking by unknown people without any identification marks. They beat you and try to throw you into a car standing nearby.
What thoughts are running through your head? For what? Why? Who is this? The Banditry?
Yes, This is Banditry!
This situation is not uncommon in Belarus. But it will not be because of criminal showdowns banditship groops /other than organized crime group of Lukashenko in Belarus not exist others gangster groups  and so they does not arrange blood showdowns/.  today in Belarus exist  only one organized criminal groop, and since it is absolute and dominant this groop don't need to fight with practically anyone. But but there is a conjuncture struggle both within this organized criminal group and its struggle with the inhabitants of the country who are disloyal to it. Remember the disappearances of prominent Belarusian political figures in the late 90s? The bodies have still not been found. Someone will say: “Oh, these are the dashing nineties, where did this not happen?” The “Dashing Nineties post Soviet Union spaste” are long gone. About to enter 2012, but what does that chang ?
 For example Recently, some Belarusian opposition figures found themselves in similar situations, as Anatoly Lebedko and his wife Svetlana, they got into a “mess” while returning home after the Eastern Partnership summit in Warsaw. Unknown people were waiting for spouses Lebedko in the yard and attacked them. a fight broke out with the participation of neighbors, residents of the house who came to the aid of the spouses. The house entrance did bloking.  The police were called. The attackers “poked” some crusts at the police officers, which indicated that they were “theirs.” It is not clear why this masquerade was needed? Who did they decide to scare? scare the spouses Lebedko? Or this have they once again decided to demonstrate the legal chaos going on in naw Belarus?
 An even situation more unprecedented situation in its absurdity happened to two activists of the Lukashanko's opposition on a highway in the Volozhin region. A traffic police officer stopped a car in which there were the belorusian activists Valery Ukhnalev and Vaclav Oreshko (the second was with his daughter). After Ukhnalev got out of the car to present his documents, unknown masked people immediately appeared and began to rob they. From the car took away all, and documents, and personal belongings. They acted very harshly. So, I’m wondering how the traffic police officer felt, who probably did not participate in this crime on his own whim? How can this be explained? This is simple the Ordinary banditry!
 Conjunctarism is an extremely harmful feeling. It can appear in different guises: from ordinary sabotage to a deadly crime. The man at the head of Belarus all these hypostases has gone through. I understand his emocios. Sometimes it seems like he doesn't have any, but that's not true. They are. Revenge... Envy... Greed... Plus a set of a animal instincts.
And the question no fos Lukashenko, question is: what to motivates his “chain dogs”? Obviously this not a sense of humanity or patriotism. Are these really the same emocios as at  the “the their owner'”?

from Constantine,
response to Lukashenk's Internet Commissioners of Lithuania:
 Rudeness is the national haracter of Lukashenko's entourage... I think with the decline of the moral legal system of Belarusian Lithuanian mass entertainers, the presence of such Commissars in the Internet space of Lithuanian region will end.
 Lithuanian-Belarusian public figures, Soviet activists, propagandists, and now mass entertainers of the Russian-Lithuanian-Belarusian dictatorial regimes are buzzing about Lukash’s victories in the elections, but do not deny that the actual visit to the polling stations and the actual one were very different! They call this voting at the place of work, serving a sentence, etc. They also do not deny that groups of NKVD officers arrest civilians who, in one way or another, publicly express their distrust of the leadership of the Belarusian Republic. They also do not deny the facts of hooligan behavior of these same Law Enforcement Officers in public places. The facts of physical pressure and repression are also obvious ! And in Lithuania, last time the same thing has been happening lately at the level of elections in administrative self-governments and others.
What is this? This is Red Terrorism !!!
 When employees of lokal organized criminal groups, both Belarusian and Lithuanian, inflict any bodily injuries to oposition, it is impossible to talk about the provability of such criminal acts of violence by documental means  - medical institutions are prohibited from conducting examinations and confirming with documents the presence of bodily injuries or mutilations to persons applying privately. This is a legalized concealment of crimes against  hobitans of regions Lithuania and Belorusian or a veiling of a massive system of repression and genocide of the residents of the Republic of Lithuania and Belarus. I think xhat the punishment for everyone involved in such a genocide must will be adequate...
 Today most legals, publick and oficial persons on Belorusia, as Lithuania this is simple - evile, little trolls, confident in their impunity and permissiveness.
