Speaking today on Marina E. Sal, I would not like to turn the memory monte bay of it in some kind of icon. It is much more important to think and talk about the lessons Salle, having, I think, is very important for both the supporters of today's European choice monte bay in the historical development of our country, and for future generations monte bay of Russian Europeans. In the history of our state active part of society, regardless of socio-economic systems that existed at a particular historical period, repeatedly became the choice of the further historical development. Suffice it to recall the vocation to rule Novgorod Rurik. The emergence of Westerners as ideological system inherent in much of the educated Russian society, the ideas of bourgeois liberalism, social democracy and communism, which were the basis of the February and October revolutions, all vectors directed to Europe and the West. At each of these historical periods, even in cases where the initiative belonged to the Western choice of power, there were powerful forces that have either slowed traffic monte bay heading west and turning the vector of the back, or distorted and devalued the country acquired the signs of Europeanization monte bay to their full recognition. I will not engage in an analysis of the genesis of the Russian anti-Westernism, and just stating the fact. Completely indisputable fact is the fact that the Russian contribution to modern civilization, which is quite significant and weighty, was mainly due to the perception of Russians who came from the West of knowledge and skills in such areas as science, art, music, literature, monte bay philosophy, theology, fertilized natural monte bay talents inherent to the Russians, as well as residents of any other country. Westernism

carriers have always been representatives of the educated part of Russian society, gets the ideas of humanism and values of the European (Judeo-Christian) civilization model. In this class relations were also representatives of the aristocracy, monte bay gentry and merchants, clergy and commoners, and later members of the so-called monte bay Soviet intelligentsia. Prominent monte bay place among the Westerners held in a natural monte bay way and immigrants from Europe itself: we invite the authorities of soldiers, scientists, engineers, artisans, teachers, even the peasants, as well as fleeing revolutions in search of success and European aristocrats and nobles. I dare say that the direct opponents of the Westerners at the heart of the Slavophiles were also carriers of humanistic ideas coming from the West. By the early twentieth century was a critical mass of aggregate Westernism. Aggregate because the included media contradictory political monte bay and socio-economic concepts: the bourgeois-democratic and social-democratic

on the one hand and vulgar Marxism, expressed in Lenin's Bolshevism and anarchism on the other. This critical mass was enough monte bay to topple monte bay the monarchy, hopelessly missed at one time chance to reform itself. Then the Bolsheviks were able to ride the revolutionary process is mainly due to its aggressiveness and anger support for the war and its associated deprivations lumpen dark mass of workers and peasants, who was a close and clear vulgarized monte bay Marxism Bolsheviks monte bay than the fanciful ideas of humanism. Thus, initially humanistic, even somewhere utopian ideas of communism were eventually converted, in fact, its opposite, a little different from fascism. monte bay Emigration,

further repression, finally, the war destroyed or expelled from the country the bulk of the intellectual monte bay elite media humanistic worldview. It seemed Westernism completely destroyed. But it became clear that this is not the case. The few members of the Russian intelligentsia, the intellectual elite, who miraculously managed to survive were able to convey not only their children, but also their students in schools and universities, to their friends and neighbors, their solagernikov and fellow front of the torch of humanism nondescript fluid intelligence. In the case of Marina E. Sall we had a direct successor of the Russian intelligentsia, the bearer monte bay of the traditions of the family, its roots directly connected with Europe. The point here is, of course, not only and not so much in the genes inherited from her ancestors, in education, in the features of the family environment monte bay in which she spent her childhood and adolescence. So the first lesson Sal I would formulate as follows: to be very careful and at the same time aggressively transfer primarily to their children and loved ones, and possibly all around the humanistic traditions of our intelligentsia. You should be very attentive to the real media
