Some kind of allegory, probably with the river Ganges. " A deputy of the Legislative Assembly of Sverdlovsk explained the idea of ​​drowning pumpkins with an analogy to purification from sins. That's how Vyacheslav Wagner proposed to fight on Halloween. According to the idea of ​​the parliament, those who decide to sink a pumpkin in Issa, and not "run with it", can get tickets to the theater or the cinema. Wagner explained to the publication "La Lat" that the idea of ​​drowning the pumpkins is "a kind of allegory" with the Indian river. "If we talk about Halloween, it's a holiday that was brought to us, and I think it's not in our cultural code at all. What I said - to throw a gourd to Isat - is a kind of allegory, probably with the Ganges River, when sinners dive there and wash away their sins. That's why I said here, let's do a show. We will kill two birds with one stone. That is, they throw a pumpkin into the river - the river will clean, wash away sins. That's why they get free tickets from us, for example." According to the deputy, instead of Halloween, young people should be offered other cultural references. "They're probably interested in dressing up in these clothes and jumping around. Maybe they mean it as punks, or there's some kind of devil in there. If we want to educate our Russian people on the basis of our cultural code, then we must provide certain directions in culture, so that our children will probably go in the right direction, and not turn right and left, where there are no roads, dirt and lack of spirituality." The lieutenant added that the pumpkins could have been given to the local zoo, but this "implies the washing away of sin in the image and likeness of the holy river Ganges."
