I wrote about this in a note
However, the controversy does not subside here and on social networks, so it makes sense to speculate on this topic.
In the days of my youth, among the "intelligent" youth it was fashionable to wrinkle your nose and haughtily shake your lips at the mention of the then most popular "Tender May". We - the “small-town elite” called it “May barking”.
And they also showed silent contempt, by rolling their eyes, to everyone who cried over Asadov's poems, adored the film about Budulai and "baldel" under "White Roses".
At that time, we read Gumilyov, Akhmatova and Tsvetaeva, went to Tarkovsky's films and listened to rock.
Years have passed. Now I am ashamed of my former arrogance, for the fact that I allowed myself to despise someone.
People grew up and were brought up in different conditions, and for some, the spiritual simplicity of the lines of the blind front-line poet, Hero of the Soviet Union Eduard Asadov, became a guiding thread to great literature, and even if it did not, it helped to tune the strings of the soul to kindness and humanity.
The same story with the film about Budulai. Now I do not consider him so kitsch, because at his unpretentious level, he truthfully talks about good and evil, about love and hate, about the fact that insistent love cannot have obstacles on national grounds.
Now I am so grown up that I can afford to listen with pleasure, once, despised, "Tender May" and, closing my eyes, remember how my heart was beating from the first love.
Waltzes by Johann Strauss, songs by Isabella Yurieva and Leonid Utyosov were declared kitsch at various times.
- What if not our beloved Santa Claus kitsch, a beard made of cotton wool?
- And what about the dolls on the wedding Volga in the 70-80s of the last century?
- And the calendars depicting actors and singers on the walls in those distant times of our youth?
All these are milestones of mass, "folk" culture, without which there is and cannot be, culture, in general!
Well, not everyone can understand the depth of elite culture, but people of any circle want something warm in their souls!
Namely, the mass character of the Immortal Regiment action made ordinary people think about the importance of memory, about respect for ancestors. People have already begun to forget about that Great War and remembered again, took their children with them, told them about their great-great-grandfathers! Why is this bad.
On holidays, I stayed with my mother in a small village 150 kilometers from St. Petersburg, which we have as a dacha.
We were visited by a neighbor, a local resident of about thirty-five. The woman told how she and her husband took their two children to the burial place of a relative, a participant in the Great Patriotic War. The neighbor told about how well everything was organized, how the children liked it in the staged dugout, about the pleasure with which the children ate the soldiers' porridge from the pot! But the main thing is that the children have a lot of questions that they have not asked before, a lot of new thoughts.
- Twenty-seven million people - this is a whole country! Did they die in order for us to live? - asked the twelve-year-old Milana
“I, too, will protect all of you when I grow up! - answered his sister six-year-old Gleb.
Of course, the conclusion suggests itself that
Different culture is needed, different culture is important.

Narcissistic Disposition (child Being Used)
People with a narcissistic character vitally need admiration, recognition of their exclusivity. Therefore, it is important for them to be in the spotlight, to achieve social success. At the same time, they are usually arrogant, self-confident, not inclined to show empathy, but they are inclined to exploit others.
Nostalgia. It Used To Be Better? Psychology Of Nostalgia
What is the psychology of nostalgia? What does our psyche want to tell us when we are nostalgic? Recently, this topic has become quite relevant. When can we feel nostalgic? In general, there are three main factors influencing the emergence of this painful feeling - longing for the past, for a certain person and for a certain place.
Used People
People who often say or suspect that everyone wants to use them do not notice how they themselves seek to use others. At the core of this phenomenon, which sometimes reaches paranoia, lies the stinginess and callousness of the soul, the inability to surrender to love and sincerely love, to trust another person.
So That You Do Not Get Used To It
Very often, from young and even still only expectant mothers you can hear: “I will not give breasts for every“squeak”/ often pick up / put to sleep in our bed with my husband (the list can be continued indefinitely) - so that I don’t get used to it
On The So-called Infantilism Of Clients
They say (they also write on this website) that our society has become infantile, people are now growing up to be infantile, psychologists and psychotherapists treat poorly, they wait, they demand something, they themselves do not want to work for their own good.
