The collapse of the Soviet Union: Yeltsin dissolves the Association of Writers, the new government does not need to sing the praises of

The collapse of the Soviet Union, Yeltsin is to blame, as to whether it is good or bad, a thousand years of merit and demerits of future generations to judge. But there is a story about Yeltsin that is worth telling.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, in order to solve the problem of financial difficulties, Yeltsin issued an order announcing the dissolution of the Soviet Association of Writers and the cancellation of all financial allocations.

The Soviet Association of Writers, which grew up with the Soviet Union, had more than 8,000 institutional members. They usually received a high government salary, and even if they did not write for several years, they could live well just by attending a few seminars and making a few presentations.

The livelihood of several thousand people was cut off in one fell swoop. They could only write articles in praise of the Soviet Union, but they could do nothing else. So, these 8,000 people started a huge demonstration. They demanded that the President of the Russian Federation, Boris Yeltsin, withdraw the order to dissolve the Association. If their demands were not met, they would go on a sit-in hunger strike. At the same time they shouted at Yeltsin: “We can serve the new government!”

Faced with the political situation, Yeltsin was in a state of confusion. At this moment, he received the demands of the writers of the Association of Writers, and was so angry that he went to the demonstration in person, holding a loudspeaker and telling the writers.

“The government does not need any literary touting, except for the people’s supervision. That clownish official literature is an insult to the intelligence of Russians.”

Faced with the tough Yeltsin, there was nothing those writers of the Soviet Writers’ Association could do. They returned to their homes in disgrace. Some of them continued to write “hymns”, but their works went unnoticed; others started small businesses, and some even ended up on the streets.

History as a lesson can be correct clothing.

Recently the Association issued a paper “diatribe”, after the anti “three vulgar” raised the banner again, attempting to lead the discourse of the operatic circle, openly criticizing the existence of the “feudal residue” of the operatic circle The teacher-apprentice system, “as long as the results of laughs do not want the consequences” of the orientation view.

In fact, if you think about it, you will find that the problem boils down to just one issue.

The problem of who is served by comic songs and sketches?

This issue is very big, to what extent, it can make an industry atrophy, but also a community can be silent, or even a river of blood. So, talk about this issue, we should be careful, to say that the small may not be issued, to say that the big may not eat.

First of all, let’s talk about the origin of this comic sketch!

I’m not professional, can’t say the origin of the comic ancestors like Guo Degang one over and over, that is their dinner deal, have to remember this. My understanding, comedy originated from the poor, where the old society Tianqiao, playing the potential to sell the art, that is to ask for food. The old Chinese society is concerned about the three religions and nine streams, the comic probably belongs to the nine streams and such things. If you say there is someone who is a master of the art, is a big shot, then you either have other plans, or in a lie.

This and the street with a broken bowl of rice caller actually belongs to the same genre. The caller that bowl, dry waiting to be asked, the harvest may have problems, how to do? Then make some attractive method. For example, put a grasshopper in the bowl, or get two grasshoppers fighting, so that those alms owners look a little interesting, willing to reward two buns.

And then later, “flat gouge cake, opposite to take the thief” such a masterpiece, make is a mysterious and fresh. This is how things are, in fact, is also like this, someone can eat, someone can not eat, then we have to think, we have to think of ideas. Seeing others get grasshoppers, get grasshoppers to the bun more, you can not think of fresher things. This thing is more, there is a teacher, there are rules, there is the so-called “art”, and even some people speculate, there is a “master”.

The Qu Association is such an “educational institution”, but to do a very disproportionate thing. Is to push their own work to others. You can tell them to let the corresponding full-time “artists” to do this. But you can’t ask the descendants of the callers to do this. There are two levels of meaning here.

One, he does not have a qualification ah!

The second is that, in addition to his “laughs”, he can not rise to this height.

He has to get to this height, then he will not become a “people X people X art X family” it?

Well, the discussion here, we then pull the topic back to the fundamental question, that is, the question of who the music and arts programs in the end is to serve.

This question, in fact, is very good answer, that is, for the people’s service!

Then the question arises, since this is a service for the people, then the standard of service who will determine? In fact, this problem is also very simple, you go to a restaurant to eat, whether it is good or not, certainly the people who eat the most right to speak, rather than the community council aunt said the restaurant’s food is good, is good. Perhaps this aunt also opened a restaurant, but also to do the Manchurian seat and so on. But I’m a consumer, I like Huainan beef soup, how do I do? You come and tell me this Huainan beef soup are poor people eat, not elegant! Sorry, I am poor people, love this, can you?

The reality is, no!
