S tshatsky pedagogical works. School as a center of education in a social environment: pedagogy of S. T. Shatsky. List of used literature

Serious ideological disagreements within the authoritative independent writers' organization are evidenced by a letter from its president Andrei Bitov, who criticized PEN vice-president Ulitskaya and latest changes in the activities of the organization. There were loud accusations of “raiding” and demands for a revision of the development strategy. Actually in Lately The Russian PEN Center took an active public position related to the protection of the rights and freedoms of Russian citizens and criticism of the totalitarian aspirations of the current Russian government. The website of the Russian PEN Center was updated, another vice-president (Lyudmila Ulitskaya) and several dozen new members were elected, a number of statements and appeals were adopted, including the Statement of the Russian PEN Center against the introduction of a “new information order” in Russia and the persecution of bloggers , Statement of the Russian PEN Center for freedom of expression and against violence, Statement of the Russian PEN Center “We are against aggression”, Appeal of the Russian PEN Center to the literary and journalistic community, Statement of the Russian PEN Center “On the violation of the constitutional rights of citizens...” etc. Against the backdrop of the general closure and nationalization of various media and public organizations, declarations of a number of uncontrolled NGOs as foreign agents, etc., PEN Center remained one of the few institutions that allowed itself to publicly criticize the unconstitutional actions of the authorities and counteract Putin’s cult of personality. And now, it seems, they also decided to end this with the hands of the members themselves. Either they put pressure on Bitov, or he himself got scared and wanted to protect the Russian PEN Center from being closed and possibly being declared a “foreign agent.” In any case, public proceedings indicate a deep split within PEN Center with unpredictable consequences. It is possible that everything was really heading towards closure Russian branch dissatisfied with the authorities, and Bitov’s letter is a desperate attempt to save at least something, making Russian PEN more loyal in the current conditions of authoritarianism. But I think that this attempt (if this is really the case) would be doomed to failure. And most likely the PEN Center in Russia will not exist for long.

Letter from the President of the Russian PEN Center and comments to it from site administrators

“Suddenly a sudden knock was heard...”(“Nevermore” translated by Balmont). Knocking faster than the Internet, like in Soviet times... I was sitting at the dacha near St. Petersburg, escaping the heat with my great-grandson, where the Internet does not work, - calls came to my mobile phone: did you read, did you see? This is about our new website. Now I’m finally reading into it... and I find that this chaotic set of statements is not only a violation of the charter of the Russian PEN Center, but also the charter of the PEN Club itself, which excludes confessional, party or nationalist interests. I’m not sure that World PEN has always been consistent in these principles, but we are committed to the Charter believed(and I have been busy with the affairs of the PEN club since 1987, from the very beginning of the very possibility of the emergence of a PEN center on the territory of the USSR, and we achieved in 1989 maximum quantity centers, including Ukrainian). We believed that it was the destiny and right of the PEN Club to protect freedom of speech and the rights of individuals to express personally their opinion in writing, using diplomatic methods rather than political games and declarations. It was diplomatically that Alexander Tkachenko and I managed to sometimes even defeat politics. Thus, in the landmark year 2000, the PEN World Congress was held in Moscow, which neither International PEN nor the Kremlin really coveted. And this was recognition of the activities of the Russian PEN Center.

And now I’m wondering who approved our new site? The Executive Committee, as I understand it, did not know about this. What does this have to do with the trident as his coat of arms (which arose under Mazepa as a variation of the Swedish crown)! *

What does this have to do with statements on behalf of one’s own, published as the opinion of the entire PEN Center... For example, this “Statement”:

The first step - the annexation of Crimea to Russia - has already been taken, the first blood has already been shed. Further steps on this path are fraught with bloodshed of an unpredictable scale, isolation of Russia, turning it into a rogue country, and ultimately into a third world country, thrown back from the path of civilization for decades.**

What Soviet, Bolshevik language is this written! Where does this swagger come from? Where does the Russophobe have such great power? arrogance towards third world countries (which, by the way, had highly developed civilizations while barbaric Europe, which subsequently robbed them, was still wearing their skins)?.. In addition to the quoted statement, other people’s materials are also reprinted, which have nothing to do with the activities of our Center ***.

I remind you of the history of the issue (too many new members). Since 1994, the PEN Center has been practically led by its general director, Alexander Tkachenko. (He and I invented the “tandem” much earlier than our leaders.) Sasha was already ready to become president and then he died suddenly, exposing me to responsibility from which I already considered myself free (however, I don’t know how he, as a native Crimean, would have survived the current centenary of the First World War, so vividly celebrated in Ukraine).

With the death of Tkachenko, our Center was practically decapitated; help was needed. Alexey Simonov, who had similar work experience, was elected vice-president, but it turned out to be insufficient (in the meantime, I was mechanically re-elected, without finding another candidate). Sasha was missing more and more catastrophically. We decided to “strengthen” the PEN Center with another vice president, a more active one. The election of Lyudmila Ulitskaya, which was at first encouraging, resulted in everything that I belatedly read, in the same language of Sharikov:

Now the intelligentsia is split, and a significant part of the people who formally belong to this stratum show an eager readiness to fulfill any desires and approve any reckless and even suicidal actions of the authorities. ****

There are no four right sides; this at least contradicts geometry. On the square wheel of Crimea, the cart of Ukraine cannot be rolled from East to West. No one is friendly with diplomacy, as with the head; it immediately degenerates into a confrontation between the intelligence services and the media, i.e. into politics. New old times! I, Andrei Georgievich Bitov, have never been a part of anyone, not a hero or a victim, but one man, who wrote and said what I think. And since I am alone, it is impossible to split me.

A revolution without mail and telegraph is nothing for us, Ilyich used to say. Well, that's why Charter violations, that's why the new site. From there, personnel decides everything (who used to say that?). And then there were violations of the charter of the Russian PEN Center, which once required two-thirds of the votes of all members of the Executive Committee for the admission of a writer to PEN. There has never been such a strong reception of new members since the last December meeting (45 people). I was not too lazy to look at the minutes of the meetings of the Executive Committee: all without a hint of a quorum, without written recommendations (based on only one word from Ulitskaya, and with verbal support from Simonov along the way). Fresh strength- good, but not usurpation (“raiding” in the new language) *****.

I try not to forget wise advice old friend (Ava Zak), given half a century ago: “Don’t take the fat bait! remember, if something is done badly, it means it benefits someone.” And so it is. But I’m already an old man, and I’m embarrassed to indicate my experience both in literature and in the PEN club. I'm not a politician, I have no time to change myself. All that remains is to say and write what I think: the Russian PEN Center is consistently framing the law on non-governmental organizations as “dragons”. Who benefits from this?

I ask, even demand, from all members of our PEN Center (including the newly elected ones) to finally appear in full force at the reporting and re-election meeting and openly discuss my letter.

“I asked: “What kind of cities exist in Chile?” Raven croaked: “Never!” \\And he was exposed". (Nikolai Glazkov, not a member of PEN Club)

Comments from site administrators

* -“What does the trident have to do with its [site’s] coat of arms”- the author of the letter mistakenly mistook for the coat of arms of the site the logo of the forum “Ukraine-Russia: Dialogue” (a trident transformed into a dove of peace with an olive branch in its beak), which for some time was located under the heading “Agenda”. Currently there is a banner with the words “Freedom for Kamil Valiullin”. The PEN logo (“coat of arms”) is permanently located in the upper left corner of the panel.

** - Andrei Bitov, who is one of the initiators of the Congress of the Intelligentsia (http://nowar-kongress.com/?page_id=292) quotes the “Statement of the Congress “Against war, against self-isolation of Russia, against the restoration of totalitarianism,” under which he stands , as a co-founder of the congress, signature (http://nowar-kongress.com/?p=16#more-16). And therefore the questions that followed the quote (“What Soviet, Bolshevik language is this written! Where does such swagger come from? Where does such great power come from? Russophobe?”) we leave without comment.

*** - During the existence of the new site, about 80 publications appeared on its news feed. Only six of them are not directly related to the activities of the PEN Center. but they touch upon the most pressing problems of cultural and social life (discussion of the “Fundamentals of Cultural Policy”, the emergence of the “Stop Censorship” movement, articles by psychologists helping modern man master the rapidly changing reality, including the article by L. Petranovskaya “Empire as a loss” - one of the leaders in traffic on our website).
