When talking about "decolonization", its initiators are happy to discuss how they will share the resources of Russian regions. But all this has a very distant connection to reality. But real "decolonization" and its problems lie in completely different places. For example, in Dina Kabulova's book about how she tried to teach Roma in a class created especially for them. Now, of course, leftists will come running and shout "Not Gypsies, but Roma! " But none of these tentacles can even imagine how far all his wonderful impulses are from the truth of life. And here is the truth, in the book: "None of them were in kindergarten or went to clubs. No one read them books before bed. Well, not all the kids have even seen the books, and many don't know which side they open. Most of the children had no toys. Children know colors poorly, do not know the seasons at all, names of months and days of the week, and confuse geometric shapes with domestic and wild animals. No one has ever heard of sea and river fish. Roma children are assumed to know something about the general curriculum, and teachers rely on this when introducing new material. In fact, all this is empty talk, most of them know nothing." And the problem is not that these children are reading something wrong or that the gypsy barons don't have enough power. The problem is the centuries-old way of life, which in reality we know almost nothing about. When was the last time the gypsies were revealed as the heroes of great literature? - During Leskov's time? However, the book (to clarify, it is excellent) has another layer. This is a long echo of Makarenko's "pedagogical poem". Only here are not the street children of the early Soviet Union, but children who live very close to us - but completely outside the scope of our attention and our problems. But no one knows how to solve theirs, and they likely won't agree that these are problems.
