moved from a period when nothing is impossible, in the capital of Russia gradually comes the time when something is already possible, but still unclear.

Even in the previous “normal” years, June 1 has always been for many people a very important psychological milestone — the day when, in connection with the official onset of summer with man as if a great weight. 1 June 2020 was an important psychological turn in the square.

due to the weather, which is not whispering, it is unlikely that even the owners of the “happy” house numbers will be able to massively take advantage of this grace as the opening of the capital’s parks. But the air in Moscow is still imbued with a sense of optimism and a feeling that the end of the most severe adversity is not far off.

the Main thing — not to try to put this feeling “on the shelves”. Because then replaced by positive emotions comes the annoyance and lots of questions.

My classmate at the journalism faculty of Moscow state University Dmitry Sokolov-Mitrich has recently issued social networks here is a cry of the soul: “something I’m confused again. A couple of months ago, the progressives demanded the introduction of strict quarantine measures to keep it in Europe. Collective letter to the President wrote. Kovid-dissidence and cowed-carelessness was derided as obscurantism. Kebab patriotism was condemned from the standpoint of the highest progressive morality. Everyone wanted the family of civilized peoples — songs from the balconies to sing and applaud the police. It has been two months.

Kovida around not diminished, it became more. Measures taken by the authorities more or less are what required the signatories. But now a sign of civic awareness was their strong rejection. Those who have recently cursed me in the comments for ago way of life, now stand in pickets against the Gulag-quarantine. A little more and come to the Swamp to fry shish kebabs. What happened, brothers?”

Implicitly agreeing with such a very accurate description of the situation, I would like nonetheless to say a few words in defense of the “progressive community”. Yes, this public forgot about logic and utterly confused. But only if she is in such an unenviable situation?

recently from several high Russian stands were calls to citizens: be, like, conscious and not go in the near future to have a rest abroad. Well, let’s say, my only wish is to be unconscious — to be the first Russian who will arrive to Italy immediately after the opening of its borders to citizens of our country on 15 June. But how can I do it in the conditions of tightly closed Russian borders?

Friends of one of the neighboring States, however, sent me the other day by the local Ministry of foreign Affairs. According to this data, Russia should be fully open for visiting and inbound tourism 15 July. Please concreteness of this assessment, I nevertheless did not consider it possible to plan on the basis of your vacation. Suddenly the Russian authorities decide to be difficult and won’t open in the middle of summer? Who am I then to make a claim — Ministry of foreign Affairs of the neighboring state?

But let’s say I decided to show civil consciousness to rest within our the largest country in the world. Where is the guarantee that it will not come back to me? Indeed, as acknowledged by officials, the epidemiological situation in many Russian regions now far more alarming and dangerous than in many neighboring countries.

At the start of the epidemic regions passionately hated bringing them the plague of Muscovites. Now the province is perceived as a source of danger for the capital. How soon will heal this situation caused by psychological wounds, even if after a few weeks, the epidemiological situation is equalized on the entire territory of the Russian Federation? Here sit down and think on this background — how you can spend this summer.

However, the inability to plan your vacation — this is only the smallest uncertainty of those that threaten to become the dominant feature of the coming months. That’s the uncertainty that scares me even more.

let us Imagine that in a few weeks, a system of digital badges will be canceled and we will once again get the opportunity to walk where I want without asking prior permission from “big brother”. Is it safe to use this feature? After Contracting coronavirus, as is well known, and after passing the peak incidence. Very likely, therefore, that soon the mood “progressive community” will make a full circle and she will start cursing the government for “criminal negligence” and “take time necessary precautions.”

What to say to that power? What prominent members of the right now speak in informal conversations, to calculate the further development of the situation is absolutely impossible. With the first wave of coronavirus Russia more or less manages. But to say anything definite about the possibility of a second or third wave of the epidemic now nobody can.

this follows directly: the abolition of official quarantine measures will not bring many desired psychological relief. Introducing formal restrictions, the state has assumed this responsibility for the situation. When such restrictions are removed, such liability — at least psychologically — falls squarely on the shoulders of ordinary citizens.

Can make another conclusion: the everyday life of Russians in a few weeks will start to resemble the everyday life of sapper, which, as we all know, wrong only once. RA��clever you will go to the newly opened restaurant? Is it wise to invite some friends over? Is it wise to allow children to play with the other kids in the yard? These “is it wise?” already, so that from them a headache. And think about the decisions that have to be taken before September 1, just do not want to.

of Course, life will put everything in its place — will provide answers to the puzzled questions of the present. But answering these questions will not be so fast, simultaneous and accurate, as we would have liked. Most likely, the only organizing principle of this system is the “principle of chaos”. Get ready for a fun fly, which will probably be followed by no less fun fall.
