Blogger Mikhail Malakhov is known for what VKontakte is known for. Dunno on the Moon is a brilliant work about capitalist society. Astrid Lindgren "Baby and Carlson, who lives on the roof"

Noticed an interesting thing. Many of the books that made an indelible impression on me as a child, I re-read with great pleasure now. For example, The Golden Key is perceived almost as vividly, you enjoy the amazing language, images and a sense of cheerful recklessness. But there is another category of books, much rarer. These are prophetic books. When you return to them after many years, you understand that our development has gone exactly in the direction described by the author.

I bow before Nikolai Nosov as before a great children's writer. Few people so poignantly, with humor and kindness, and at the same time, described children's affairs in such a plot. There was no aggression, no vile subtexts in his books - they were direct and honest. And amazingly interesting.

But the Dunno trilogy stands apart. Because compared to her, all these Wangs, Casey are just pathetic preparations. In three books, the Master literally painted our entire Soviet history until its completion, hopefully not final.

Nosov has a magical property - you immerse yourself in his books so that you absolutely believe in what is happening. Well, shorties the size of a finger, well, they live, communicate, rejoice - it happens. You become a prisoner of a strange and charming world. And he is already ready, together with the shorties, to extract juice from giant plants, to fly to other planets.

Who does not remember, the trilogy includes: "The Adventures of Dunno and His Friends", "Dunno in the Sunny City", "Dunno on the Moon". I don't know if Nosov wanted to put into the books the meanings that became clear later. There is an opinion that the writer, while creating his works, is immersed in the information field of the Earth, from where meanings descend upon him. And the more talented the creator, the more he succeeds in this dark abyss, in which most people do not even believe, to get pearls of signals from the future. And then the prophetic books appear, where our universal aspirations are expressed.

The first part - the described society can be compared with the socialism of enthusiasts, not very developed economically. Shorties live in some kind of barracks in communes, build, take care of giant plants. And at the same time they aspire to the heights - they make balloons, like Soviet aeronauts of the thirties, they try to master the elements. At the same time, the world itself is extremely cohesive and kind. There are also slobs, like Dunno, and conflicts with grievances - so the hero can fight with his best friend Gunka. But there is not one thing - dark bestial aggression. This world is kind, bright, in it everyone is created for each other.

"Dunno in the Sunny City" is a variant of successful high-tech late socialism, to which we successfully went, but did not come - we have to thank stagnation and one bald Judas for this. The Flower Gord strives for these peaks. An abundance of material wealth, high arts, more educated people. And here Nosov caught alarming signals from the future. Dunno, having received a magic wand, in the zoo turns donkeys into people. But these new people are very ambiguous - hooligan, stubborn, arrogant, despising everything around and prone to antisocial behavior. And they begin to lead an antisocial lifestyle, hooliganism, they have no brakes, no conscience either. And suddenly, before our eyes, the idyll begins to fall apart. The vile behavior of donkeys, destroying social foundations, unexpectedly finds a lively response from others. Everyone wants something like this, something that is not boring. And society is crumbling. There is a classic information infection. Malicious ideas very quickly germinate in society and put it on the verge of self-destruction, moreover, for no apparent reason. Chaos comes into the harmonious orderliness of being. And him driving force- donkeys. Familiar?

All this is written with frightening authenticity. Our entire perestroika is confronting us with a shock to the foundations of social consciousness. How a prosperous society can be reduced to a state of complete bestiality by malicious information viruses (that is, destructive, but outwardly attractive, primitive ideas and slogans) in a few years. We remember very well how donkeys and the inhabitants infected by them gathered for rallies - down with the CPSU, give America. We remember how monuments were demolished in Moscow, and in Ukraine they are still being demolished. And donkeys and sympathizers, deceived or just loafers, are still dancing at Navalny’s rallies, and prophesying the formidable swayer of the regime Ksyushad to the consuls. The main quality of the donkey is a dull herd obstinacy and a complete lack of desire to figure something out.

In the book, everything ends well - the donkeys are again transformed into their normal donkey state and returned to the stall. Society calmed down. Nosov was an optimist. In the eighties, donkeys could not be returned to the stall. And the coup did happen. And we still slurp the consequences of it with a bowler hat with handles.

The third book is Dunno on the Moon. A society is described where donkeys won. Developed bestial lunar capitalism, where pure and bright travelers from the Earth get ...

In the sixties, when the novel was being written, the lion's share of Soviet books were so-called pamphlets - that is, pouring all sorts of substances on our capitalist neighbors. What is interesting is that not a single one remained in the memory due to primitivism and some kind of stiffness. We did not take seriously the nightmares that we wrote about the capitalists, perhaps rightly so. But Nosov created a book of stunning credibility, including psychological. When I read it in those years, I was terribly worried about the characters - how did they end up in such a nightmare. I saw that it is impossible to live normally in such a society if you have a conscience, friends, duty.

In the nineties, all of us, the socialist Dunno, already in reality found ourselves in this very horror. Naive, kind, not always understanding what was going on, like Dunno, who did not know that you had to pay for dinner, we were restless in our country. Some perished, some went berserk, some went into business, becoming a prosperous Salt Mine Donut, and then went bust and was thrown to the curb. But few people accepted this whole world order as fair, except for the evil donkeys who took us by the throat. But here's the thing - Dunno had the Earth behind him, he knew that good friends would fly in to save him, who would never leave him in trouble. There was nothing behind us then, and the future seemed pitch-black.

The description of the Moon by Nosov simply dazzles with completely detailed authenticity. It feels like he painted from nature. Everything's there. And modern anti-art is purely Pavlensky and the Voina group. And annoying ads. And the degradation of healthcare. And moral degradation, when man is a wolf to man. And the police are painted like this - it seems to me that many of my non-colleagues posed for the Great Writer. And the movie - "The Legend of the Seven Strangled and One Drowned in Fuel Oil." Everything written in the calm sixties came true with fantastic accuracy.

And the scam with giant plants - I don’t know if Mavrodi was inspired by this book, but you can’t dispute that everything went according to this scenario.

Some of the images in the book are downright archetypal in nature. The image of the Island of Fools, where the little ones just relax all day, is very reminiscent of all-inclusive hotels. And the fact that from stupid films and entertainment people are overgrown with wool, turn into sheep and they are sheared, earning money on it - this is generally an allegory of colossal depth and power, in which the entire modern Western world, and even ours, world ..

Dunno on the Moon is our nineties. This is a degrading economy, poverty. This is greed that knows no shortening, destroying everything and everything, like pesticides. It's a culture of sales, not achievement. This... This is all of us...

There is a story that Yeltsin, when he took the presidential oath, needed a thick book under the cover of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Of course, the Presidential Administration did not find the Constitution - then everyone did not care about it, and at the top of power it was not needed in everyday life. Then the book "Dunno on the Moon" was put to the popularly elected. Most likely, this is a fiction, but what is a fact - Yeltsin made all the lunar nightmares come true, almost leaving behind a lunar landscape where there is nothing alive and correct.

With all the nightmares that Nosov describes, soft irony and optimism sound in every line. He never considers that somewhere there are deaf dead ends. Its dead ends always become walk-through courtyards and lead to beautiful squares with cheerful people and fountains. It seems to me that he predicted such an outcome in this book as well. The problems of lunatics are solved by high technology - the appearance of giant plants. This is a breakthrough of such force that the old way of life is falling apart, the obsolete society is bursting at the seams. Most likely, the same thing awaits us. After all, the Master simply did not write anything.

The heroes of Nosov, the same Dunno, became folklore heroes deeply related to us. Of course, Dunno did not fit ideologically into our new capitalist way of life, into monetarism, liberalism, and other isms. It is surprising that this book was not burned in the squares in the nineties as a warning to the enemies of democracy, perhaps together with the enemies themselves. Then they did it easier - they shot the cartoon "Dunno on the Moon." Well made, beautifully rendered, and utterly polished. There is no horror of injustice, there is no image of a bright earthly world. There are environmental issues there. And they gave the girl to Dunno as an escort, so that, like in Hollywood, you can’t go anywhere without love. And the book in the cartoon was blown away, it became so cozy, homely, not binding to anything. Just Dunno, just protecting the environment, well, there are Teslas, wind turbines and stuff pushing. Pleasant, tolerant, so European. True, they had not yet matured to gays, otherwise it’s scary to imagine Gunka.

I wonder if Nosov is studied at school? Akunin, a noteworthy Russophobe, is being studied. A couple more of the same cosmopolitans are also being studied. And here great book Dunno's adventures are not studied. Doesn't fit ideologically - too unnatural good people everything is there, and about some kind of justice. Disruptive book. Although for me, Nosov is a classic of the level of Chekhov and Dostoevsky, and deserves much more.

Russia proposes to UNESCO to declare 2018 the year of Solzhenitsyn, a vicious anti-Soviet, a liar who did everything to ruin our country, and, by and large, a professional traitor of principle. For some reason, no one proposes to make it the year of the bright and joyful children's classic Nikolai Nosov. Yes, and the economic forum would be nice to rename. Well, how did Gaidar deserve such an honor - a semi-literate economic saboteur, a hater of Russia, who ruined our industry and sovereignty, threw us into the nightmare of the nineties. Therefore, the same wreckers gather at its meetings, unable to give out a single sound idea. And call Dunno forum - he had much more economic wisdom.

And for a snack, selected rattling quotes from Dunno on the Moon, carefully selected by the authors of the Internet. Who's to say these aren't prophecies?

outlook: “Why do rich people need so much money? - Dunno was surprised. - Is it possible for a rich man to eat several million?

- "Eat"! snorted the goat. - If only they could eat! After all, the rich man satiates his belly, and then begins to satiate his vanity.

What kind of vanity is this? - Dunno did not understand.

Well, this is when you want to blow dust in the nose of others "

Joint stock companies: “We also do not want to say that by acquiring shares, the short men do not acquire anything, because by buying shares they receive hope for an improvement in their well-being. And hope, as you know, is also worth something. For nothing, as they say, and the sore will not sit down. You have to pay money for everything, and having paid, you can dream.”

"Jeans": “- Dear viewers! - he said. - Ladies and Gentlemen! Dr. Spritz is talking to you. You hear thumps: knock! here! here! This is the beating heart of an astronaut who arrived on our planet. Attention attention! This is Dr. Syringe speaking. My address: Cholera street, house fifteen. Reception of patients daily from nine in the morning to six in the evening. Help at home. Phone calls. Admission at night is charged at double the rate. You hear the beats of the cosmic heart. There is a dental office. Extraction, treatment and filling of teeth. The pay is moderate. Cholera, house fifteen. You hear the beats of the heart ... ".

Copyright and brand ownership:“Meanwhile, a representative of one of the advertising firms appeared in the reception room ... Running up to Dunno, she thrust a poster into his hands, on which it was written:

"The shorties will not regret

And don't waste your money

Kohl will all chew gingerbread

Candy factory "Zarya"

Jumping back two or three steps, she aimed a photographic camera at Dunno and took a picture. Seeing this, Miga completely lost his temper. He jumped up to Dunno, tore the poster out of his hands and angrily threw it on the floor, after which he jumped up to the representative of the advertising company and kicked her with his foot.

Advertising: “Such are the customs of the lunar inhabitants! The moon shorty would never eat sweets, gingerbread, bread, sausage or ice cream from a factory that does not print advertisements in the newspapers, and will not go to a doctor who did not come up with some kind of puzzling advertisement to attract patients. Usually a sleepwalker buys only those things that he read about in the newspaper, but if he sees a cleverly crafted advertisement somewhere on the wall, he can even buy the thing that he does not need at all. Monopolization of the economy: “The best way out of this situation is to start selling salt even cheaper. The owners of small factories will be forced to sell salt at too low a price, their factories will start to operate at a loss, and they will have to close them. But then we will raise the price of salt again, and no one will stop us from making capital.”

Technology control: "In Can you imagine what can happen when these giant plants appear on our planet? There will be a lot of food. Everything will become cheap. Poverty will disappear! Who would want to work for us then? What will become of the capitalists? For example, you are now rich. You can satisfy all your whims. You can hire a chauffeur to take you in a car, you can hire servants to carry out all your orders: they clean your premises, take care of your dog, knock out carpets, pull leggings on you, but you never know what! And who should do all this? All this should be done for you by the poor who need to earn money. And what kind of poor man will go to your service if he does not need anything?.. After all, you will have to do everything yourself. Why, then, do you need all your wealth? .. If a time comes when everyone feels good, then the rich will definitely feel bad. Learn it."

Black PR: " - And what. The giant plant society may burst? - Grizzle (newspaper editor) was alert and moved his nose, as if sniffing at something.

Must burst, - answered Krabs, emphasizing the word "should".

Must?… Ah, must! Grizzle grinned, his upper teeth sinking into his chin again. - Well, it will burst, if it must, I dare to assure you! Ha-ha!…”

State of Science:“Dunno asked why lunar astronomers or lunar scientists have not yet built an aircraft capable of reaching the outer shell of the moon. Memega said it would be too expensive to build such a craft, while lunar scientists don't have the money. Only the rich have money, but no rich man will agree to spend money on a business that does not promise big profits.

Lunar rich people don't care about the stars, Alpha said. - The rich, like pigs, do not like to lift their heads to look up. They are only interested in money!”

Legality:“Who are these policemen? - Herring asked. - Bandits! - Kolosok said with irritation. - Honestly, bandits! Indeed, the duty of the police is to protect the population from robbers, in reality they only protect the rich. And the rich are the real robbers. They only rob us, hiding behind the laws that they themselves come up with. And what, tell me, is the difference, according to the law I will be robbed or not according to the law? I do not care!".

“Try not to obey here, when everything is in their hands: land, and factories, and money, and, in addition, weapons!” Kolosok became sad. “Now I’ll come home,” he said, “and the police will grab me and put me in jail. And the seeds will be taken away. That's clear! The rich will not allow anyone to plant giant plants. Apparently, we are not destined to get rid of poverty!"

"Police Technology": "What do you think it is? the policeman asked. - Come on, smell it.

Dunno cautiously sniffed the tip of the baton.

A rubber stick, must be,” he muttered.

- "Rubber stick"! - mimicked the policeman. - It's clear that you're an ass! This is an advanced rubber baton with electrical contact. In short - URDEK. Come on, stand still! he commanded. R-r-hands at the seams! And no p-talk!”

Methods:…Do you know who you are?

Who? - Dunno asked with fright.

A notorious thug and raider named Pretty Boy, who has committed sixteen train robberies, ten armed bank raids, seven prison breaks (last escaped last year by bribing the guards) and stolen a total of twenty million furthings worth of valuables! Migle said with a joyful smile.

The stranger waved his hands in embarrassment.

Yes you! What do you! It's not me! - he said.

No, you, Mr. Handsome! What are you ashamed of? With money like yours, you have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. I think you have something left of twenty million. You've undoubtedly hidden something. Yes, give me at least a hundred thousand of these millions of yours, and I will let you go. After all, no one but me knows that you are the famous robber Handsome. And instead of you, I'll put some tramp in jail, and everything will be all right, I swear! Well, give me at least fifty thousand ... Well, twenty ... I can’t do less, honestly! Give me twenty thousand and get out on all four sides."

Judicial system:“You are completely out of your mind! Vrigl shouted with irritation. - Who is Handsome, in your opinion? Eh? .. Handsome is a well-known personality! Everyone knows handsome. Handsome millionaire! Half of the police have been bribed by Pretty Boy, and tomorrow, if he wants, he will buy all of us with all our giblets ... And who is this? - Wrigl continues to shout, pointing a finger at Dunno. - Who is he, I ask! Who knows? What did he do? .. Dine for free? So why is it here? And he only needs to come here, you fool! Here it is both warm and light, and fleas do not bite. He only dreams of getting into jail as soon as possible and starting to eat the police! This is not a real criminal, but a scammer with empty pockets. What can you take from him when he doesn’t even have money for lunch?

Legalized commons:"Hey, who's there? Is this the police department? Connect me, please, with the commandant. Monsieur Julio, a member of the Society for Mutual Assistance, is talking to you. Do you have an arrested Mige? Yes, yes, Mr. Mige... The Mutual Relief Society vouches for him. This is an absolutely honest person, I assure you! As honest as the world has ever produced... Can I post a deposit?.. Thank you. I'll be right back with the money."

Credit history:“I then entered the factory and began to earn decently. Even for a rainy day, I began to save money, just in case, that means, if I suddenly become unemployed again. Only it was difficult, of course, to resist, so as not to spend money. And then they still began to say that I need to buy a car. I say: why do I need a car? I can also walk. And they tell me: it's a shame to walk on foot. Only the poor go on foot. In addition, the car can be bought in installments. You make a small donation, you get a car, and then you pay a little each month until you pay it all off. Well, I did. Let, I think, everyone imagines that I am also a rich man. I paid the first installment, got the car. He sat down, drove off, and immediately fell into a ka-a-ah-ha-nava (from excitement, Kozlik even began to stutter). The auto-aha-mobile broke, you know, he broke his leg and four more ribs.

Well, did you fix the car afterwards? - asked Dunno.

What you! While I was sick, they kicked me out of work. And then it's time to pay a fee for the car. And I don't have any money! Well, they tell me: then give the auto-aha-ha-mobile back. I say: go, take it in kaa-ha-hanava. They wanted to judge me for ruining the car, but they saw that there was nothing to take from me anyway, and got rid of it. So I didn’t have a car, I didn’t have money.”

Medicine:“The doctor carefully examined the patient and said that it would be best to put him in the hospital, since the disease is very advanced. When he learned that twenty furthings would have to be paid for treatment in the hospital, Dunno was terribly upset and said that he received only five furthings a week and it would take him a whole month to collect the required amount.

If you stretch another month, then the patient will no longer need any health care- said the doctor. “In order to save him, immediate treatment is needed.”

"Postmodern": “- You, brother, better not look at this picture,” Kozlik told him. - Do not rack your brains in vain. There is still nothing to understand here. All our artists draw like this, because the rich only buy such paintings. One will paint such squiggles, another will depict some incomprehensible squiggles, the third will pour liquid paint into a tub and suffice it in the middle of the canvas, so that some kind of awkward, meaningless spot will turn out. You look at this spot and cannot understand anything - just some kind of abomination! And the rich look and even praise. “We, they say, don’t need the picture to be understandable. We don’t want some artist to teach us something there. A rich man understands everything without an artist, but a poor man doesn’t need to understand anything. That’s why he poor man, to understand nothing and live in darkness.

Mass media:“There were “Business ingenuity”, “Newspaper for plump ones”, and “Newspaper for thin ones”, and “Newspaper for smart ones”, and “Newspaper for fools”. Yes Yes! Do not be surprised: it is "for fools." Some readers may think that it would be unreasonable to name a newspaper in this way, since who would buy a newspaper with that name. After all, no one wants to be considered a fool. However, the inhabitants did not pay attention to such trifles. Everyone who has bought the Fools' Newspaper has said that he buys it not because he considers himself a fool, but because he is interested in knowing what they write about for fools. By the way, this newspaper was conducted very reasonably. Everything in it was clear even for fools. As a result, the "Newspaper for Fools" sold in large quantities ... ".

Mass culture:“-... At first, you will be fed and watered there, and treated to whatever you want, and you won’t have to do anything. Know yourself to eat and drink, be merry and sleep, and walk as much as you like. From such a stupid pastime, the short man on the island gradually grows stupid, runs wild, then begins to grow wool and eventually turns into a ram or a sheep.

System as a whole:“... whoever has money will do well on Stupid Island. For money, the rich man will build himself a house in which the air is well purified, pay the doctor, and the doctor will prescribe pills for him, from which the hair does not grow back so quickly. In addition, for the rich there are so-called beauty salons. If some rich man swallows harmful air, then he quickly runs to such a salon. There, for money, various poultices and ointments will be made for him, so that the muzzle of a lamb looks like an ordinary short face. True, these poultices do not always help well. You look at such a rich man from a distance - as if he were a normal short man, but if you look closer - the simplest ram.

The police believe that the phrase of the hero of the children's book incites discord
Evgeniya Ostraya 10.10.2017

More than half of the materials on my page have nothing to do with politics, Malakhov tells Komsomolskaya Pravda.

And these posts have hundreds of readers.

After the publication of the most informative of them - an excerpt from Nikolai Nosov's book about the adventures of his immortal hero Dunno - Malakhov received a call from the "E" center (he is engaged in the fight against extremism. - Auth.).

From surprise, Mikhail did not even immediately realize which representatives of the law enforcement agencies in a stern voice said that a statement had been received about his extremist trick. The man was officially invited to give explanations.

In all seriousness, they begin to read to me:

“Who are these policemen? - asked Herring. - Bandits! - Kolosok said with irritation. - Honestly, bandits! Indeed, the duty of the police is to protect the population from robbers, in reality they only protect the rich. And the rich are the real robbers. They only rob us, hiding behind the laws that they themselves come up with. And what, tell me, is the difference, according to the law I will be robbed or not according to the law? I do not care! - Here you have something wonderful! Wink said. “Why do you listen to the cops and those… what do you call them, rich men?” “Try not to obey here, when everything is in their hands: land, factories, money, and, in addition, weapons!”

Are you inciting hatred for the police here? the caller says. I tried to explain that this is actually an excerpt from Dunno, that this is Nosov, and not me, the blogger continues.

The harmlessness of a quote from a children's book, according to the policeman, will be assessed by professional linguists.

And blogger Malakhov decided not to rush to visit the Krasnodar center for combating extremism, whose employees were touched to the core by a quote from Dunno. Moreover, the department limited itself to a phone call.

I think that if I go there, then only with a lawyer, - says Mikhail.

The police have not officially commented on the situation, which caused a storm in the media.

CALL ABOUT

But famous Krasnodar lawyer Alexey Avanesyan volunteered to go for interrogation with a blogger.

In my opinion, there can be no corpus delicti in this case. And first of all, because then it will be necessary to recognize Nosov's book "Dunno on the Moon" as extremist. Fortunately, this has not yet happened. It would be a crime if the quotation from the book was used in conjunction with its own derogatory context.

That he was called in for a conversation with the police because of a post with a quote from Nikolai Nosov's book "Dunno on the Moon", which was considered "extremist". True, not at the initiative of the police, but at the request of a certain citizen "from another subject of the Federation", who became preoccupied with this very possible extremism. Moreover, the vigilant citizen took care of it very late, because the post with a scan of a quote from the 31st chapter of Dunno on the Moon and an illustration by Heinrich Valk was published on March 28. In the fragment of the novel cited by Malakhov, the inhabitant of the Moon Kolosok, in a conversation with the earthly guest Herring, calls the local law enforcement officers "bandits".

"Really, the duty of the police is to protect the population from robbers, in reality they only protect the rich. And the rich are the real robbers. They only rob us, hiding behind the laws that they themselves come up with."
The same quote from "Dunno on the Moon"

This is not the first time that seemingly completely harmless and well-known works of art cause "concern" of some individuals and even entire organizations, leading to the intervention of supervisory authorities. Let's try to imagine what kind of fabulous or fantastic books could cause a similar reaction.

The administrator of the Radical Dreamers public on VKontakte, Mikhail Malakhov, was summoned for a conversation because of a post with a quote from the book Dunno on the Moon, not to the prosecutor's office, as previously reported, but to the E Center. Malakhov himself told Novaya Gazeta about this.

The blogger explained why he misled people. “I was confused. Yes, I really received calls not from the prosecutor's office, but from the police. And they were invited not to the prosecutor's office, but to the Center for Combating Extremism. That is why the prosecutor's office naturally denied the information, ”Malakhov said.

The blogger stressed that "the call was unexpected" and he did not ask who was calling him. “I really fell into a stupor. And this employee, as far as I remember, did not introduce himself. In any case, I don't remember any of his data. We talked a little, and he told me the address where he was waiting for me. But since I was a little confused, I only remember that this is Dzerzhinsky Street, which intersects with something there. After the conversation, I googled and saw that there was a prosecutor's office at 8 Dzerzhinsky Street, but later it turned out that it was there, but then it was moved. And on Dzerzhinsky, with the intersection of some other street, there really is Center “E”, ”Malakhov explained.

Radio Liberty contacted the police officer who called Malakhov. He said that, at the request of a certain citizen "from another subject of the Federation," a check is being carried out to determine whether the quote from "Dunno on the Moon" is extremist.

Earlier, the prosecutor's office of the Krasnodar Territory called Malakhov for interrogation. “He indiscriminately accused law enforcement agencies, the sovereign’s eye,” Meduza was told in the press service of the regional prosecutor’s office. The department explained that they specifically called all the district prosecutor's offices of the region and found out that they had not heard of Malakhov in any of them and "have no complaints against him."

Earlier, Mikhail Malakhov, that he was summoned for interrogation to the prosecutor's office because of a fragment from Nikolai Nosov's book "Dunno on the Moon", which he posted in his public "Radical Dreamers". Allegedly, he was told there that they had received a statement with a request to check a post with a quote from Dunno for inciting hatred against the social group “policemen” (Article 282 of the Criminal Code).

Malakhov said that he asked the caller if he really wanted an explanation based on an excerpt from a children's fairy tale. To which he replied that linguistic expertise would figure it out. The caller did not specify whether a case had been opened, and in what status he was going to talk with Malakhov.

A post with a screenshot of a quote from the 31st chapter of Nikolai Nosov's book "Dunno on the Moon" was published back in March. It contains, for example, the following words: “And who are these policemen? asked Herring. — Bandits! - Kolosok said with irritation.

On the morning of October 10, the Radical Dreamers community had less than 300 subscribers, by the time of writing the news, their number had increased to 1.5 thousand people.

Last week, news spread around the Runet: the administrator of the Vkontakte public, Mikhail Malakhov, said that he was called in for a conversation with the police because of a post with a quote from the book Dunno on the Moon by Nikolai Nosov, which was considered “extremist”. True, not at the initiative of the police, but at the request of a certain citizen "from another subject of the Federation", who became preoccupied with this very possible extremism. Moreover, the vigilant citizen took care of it very late, because the post with a scan of a quote from the 31st chapter of Dunno on the Moon and an illustration by Heinrich Valk was published on March 28. In the fragment of the novel cited by Malakhov, the inhabitant of the Moon Kolosok, in a conversation with the earthly guest Herring, calls the local law enforcement officers "bandits".

Indeed, the duty of the police is to protect the population from robbers, in reality they only protect the rich. And the rich are the real robbers. They only rob us, hiding behind the laws that they themselves come up with.
The same quote from "Dunno on the Moon"

This is not the first time that seemingly harmless and well-known works of art have caused "concern" of some individuals and even entire organizations, leading to the intervention of supervisory authorities.
