Professor Yuri Reznik in the era of Russian cultural Thermidor

http://www.lko.ru/

When one thinks of the hero of the day, comes to mind is different, between

the assertion that Lenin Resnick lived, lives, and will live and pelipenkovskimi,

and the hero of the day itself byakami. Lenin - History and monument, Reznik - the

anniversary and memorial, a monument made with hands. By pelipenkovski - the

monument itself, a monument in itself.

Monument to the Soviet era cultural revolution, of sensitivity in knowledge,

science, his human and scientific vocation. In Lomonosov, Moscow, after the

army, the philosophical faculty of Moscow State University, again, is named after

Lomonosov. My Life in Science. First among classmates defends candidate and

doctor.

Refers to science as a temple, trying to purify it from selling, ossified,

bureaucratised firmament. It is undergoing a revolutionary idea, bit driven, but not

broken.

Resnick by nature a rebel. And then he was lucky and also unlucky with age.

Buntashny century, alteration, social counter-revolution in 1991, troubled times.

Time of muddy water, fantastic opportunities of upward mobility, beyond the

limits of life risks. Risk in the name of primitive accumulation of capital, the

alignment of its commerce.

Almost from Bukharin: Enrich yourselves, gentlemen. But what time, and

such heroes. Not Prometheus, Pugachev, and Razin, Ulyanov, and Bronstein,

finally, a Mavrodi and Khodorkovsky.

What can we do to our hero, if the second row, from Mavrodi to

Khodorkovsky, have no desire to fit, and the first not let ernichaet and

nasmeshnichaet era? Not needed, says such heroes, now is the time marauders.

Resnick is an asymmetrical response period. He builds. Creates no

commercial enterprise and not even an oil company, but a scientific journal. In

1999, the first issue of the journal "Personality. Culture. Society.

This project has received. He became part of the destiny hero of the day, so

that not only allowed to take revenge in the old social games. This is not the point.

The main thing is that his magazine as a project kulturtregerskim Reznik has

managed to go against the times. Epochs cultural counterrevolution.

For nearly twenty years of culture in retreat under the onslaught of the

barbarians. The historical process of reducing the social and cultural repression,

sublimation showed us a simplified, "natural" rights, which the culture is needed as

recreation, and science is not needed at all. Book now runs roughly correspond to

the print runs of a hundred years ago, to put in hundreds of thousands of copies, or

1-2. The country does not need scientists, teachers, writers, professors, doctors and

academics.

Resnick brave, fantastically strong-willed and determined man. Like all of

us, he comes from the past, from childhood and adolescence, the time of laying the

internal representations of what is good and what is bad. He can not break the spirit

of the age, but may win her rearguard action, defending his view of science and

man, brought it to the extreme extent of the Soviet period, extreme extent of the

Soviet cultural revolution.

He is one of the last defenders, protectors of Russian-Soviet culture.

Although who knows what will result of his courage in his struggle for the

preservation of culture, stretching over years and decades. Historical time is faster,

turns faster and faster, bringing a new era of cultural revolution, his revolution.

That's his brainchild, the journal "Personality. Culture. Society in this year

marks ten years. It protects the culture of more "natural", face less cultural

repression desublimirovannogo rights. Defending the culture, Reznik protects and

cultural repression, it is internally repressive. Its inherent repressive manifested

externally, socially. He has a clear internal frame surrounding the proper conduct,

and do not write on them - disagree with him, fall from Resnick are building social

and professional groups.

This repressive paradoxically combined with a boundless inner freedom

inherent ANNIVERSARY. Resnick very lively and varied, like a river. He

zakostenevaet in once and found the truth, he continues to look, try it for taste and

color, leaving from the old to the new name. This process is repeated with enviable

regularity, we know what scientific positions Yury share yesterday, but do not

know what will separate tomorrow.

That search, and especially the acquisition of new truth gives him strength,

includes the flow of furious energy and dedication. At such moments Reznik know

on what grounds should rebuild parts of human knowledge (above all goes to

social theory), science in general, peace and people in it. Yesterday Resnick ideas

animated personality, today - transpersonal. What will happen tomorrow, nobody

knows about, knows himself.

Is there a teleology of his fate, the state and attitude, which is unpredictable,

this way of life "in touch"? Rather no than yes. In the eternal wanderer no final

destination, there is only a permanent transit between the old and new and even

more new truths, and life, passing in the search for truth becomes a dream come

fate.
