Journalist Andrey Kalitin (in the register of foreign agents of the Russian Federation) on the country's futile attempt to hide in a bunker from inevitable changes: "We need to dig deeper. We are in the midst of Granomachia - the mythological war of cranes and dwarfs, in the classic plot of ancient Greek myths. Cranes attack from the air. Dwarves hide underground. Metro is great. But not enough. We need to create underground cities. Gernomachi is serious and long-term." These words of the philosopher Alexander Dugin, written recently, brought a smile to his critics. But thoughts are material, and even the craziest fantasies in Russia often tend to translate into hard everyday life. The recommendation of the Ministry for Digital Development to move data processing centers to underground structures is another metaphorical step into the bunker made by the state, which in the new version of the Greek myth is attributed the role of a dwarf, not a bird. Russia has been a raw material country for centuries; Its main material wealth is stored in the depths, underground, in the depths. There was an attempt to fly to the sky, the earth opened up to the world, people stopped living in fear, felt freedom, had hopes, grew wings. But the "underground man" complex once again called people underground, to the world of the dead and collective death rituals. A mural depicting Lavrenti Bria, a sketch of which was prepared by Charpovets government officials; a portrait of Stalin on the wall of an official from Ruskomandzor; The revelations of an activist from the Ivan-Chai Center that jazz and jeans destroyed the Soviet Union - these are all features of a dense dungeon, a long-lived past, in which the country is significantly, voluntarily, passionately immersed. A bunker is, at first glance, a reliable shelter from the disturbing and exciting changes that await Russia in the very near future, and no one will be able to hide from them by closing the doors, windows, blinds, eyes and ears. You can hang the walls of your offices with portraits of Bria, Dzerzhinsky, Stalin, but no one in the world has managed to turn the clock of history back in the opposite direction.
