The Story about the monument to Dmitry Merezhkovsky
The member of council of Memorial and Military Society has been very concerned. "Stand up, compatriots! Badly we remember Peter I!".
The radio journalists, who have been near, looked at him in perplexity
"How many events during the Peter I's epoch took place!"
The radio journalists, who have been near, just in case kept silence, but their faces showed that they are treated with respect to the memory of Peter I.
Such reaction of the journalists didn't suit of the member of council of Memorial and Military Society.
"Why "we" do not remember Peter I?!! Why!!!?" - he nearly shouted in the microphone.
The radio journalists have tried to turn to questions of memorial policy:
- The airports are receiving the names of great people, - one of journalists reminded. - Commemorative plaques are establishing ...
The member of council of Memorial and Military Society couldn't constrain emotion:
- On the Internet it is necessary to study materials! Do you know how "Chertovitskoye" ('Чертовицкое') and a name of Peter I corresponds?!!
The radio journalists, who have been near, a little removed themselves from the member of council of Memorial and military Society.
He was fond of the topic:
- "At the beginning of 1904 ... Dmitry Merezhkovsky began to print the third novel of the trilogy, "Antichrist. Peter and Alexis" (1904 - 1905) ... - the theological and philosophical novel about Peter I whom the author "draws incarnate Antichrist" ...
By the beginning of 1904 numerous stresses negatively affected a condition of nervous system of Merezhkovsky. On the advice of the psychiatrist Merezhkovsky ... went to Imatra".
- Frankly speaking, World War I had different reasons. For example, the economic, - one of the journalists, who have been near, has spoken.
- "Commemorative plaques are establishing!" - the member of council of Memorial and Military Society was boiled. - I directly and will write!
"The memorial plate to Karl Gustav Mannerheim on a wall of the building of the Military and engineering technical university in St. Petersburg, is established on June 16, 2016, dismantled and taken out to Memorial estate "Tsarskoye Selo" on October 13, 2016".
"On November 12, 2016 in St. Petersburg on house No. 3, Bolshaya Zelenina St. where the admiral in 1905 - 1912 lived, the commemorative plaque is established to A.V. Kolchak. On April 25, 2017 the court decided to dismantle this plaque and recognized its placement as illegal. On July 5, 2017 accordind the court decision this plaque was dismantled".
Give, citizens, a name of Peter I - at least - the Chertovitskoye (Чертовицкое) Airport!
Different monuments in recent years to D.S. Merezhkovsky are established . And a monument to the novel by Merezhkovsky about Peter I , - at least, - there is no monument.Everything came to the end with a starts of balloons ...
The radio journalists, who have been near, thoughtfully looked at the member of council of Memorial and Military Society.
He, overcome with emotion, began to gain on the computer the appeal to important people: "I, - after all, - the member of council of Memorial and Military Society, milords!" "It is necessary to remember!". "About D.S. Merezhkovsky!".
The radio journalists, who have been near, carefully left the room: "Seems, today - enough".
