Akunin shared what is necessary to survive if you are stuck in a bad country

The Russian writer, in the project "Tell Gordeeva" , spoke about the minimum that honest people need if they live in a bad country.

— There is a simple recipe, we didn't invent it, it was developed in Soviet times. Firstly, don't get dirty, don't get soiled.

— But if you work in a state hospital — do you get soiled? — asked Katerina Gordeeva.

— In what way do you get soiled?

— You receive money from a state hospital. You pay taxes, and the state uses those taxes to buy missiles [to bomb Ukraine].

— Well no, — Akunin dismissed, — try not to pay taxes in the country. I absolutely disagree with that.

— Firstly, don't get soiled, don't participate in nastiness. Secondly, support those who are worse off than you. This is a very strong drug. When you help someone, you yourself start to feel much better. And don't change your convictions and your values. This is the minimum. Few can be a hero or an underground operative. But this is the minimum. This is what my generation learned back in the USSR. For those who are older, it's returning, and for those who are younger, unfortunately, they are forced to learn it anew.

    Але зараз набягуць людзі, якія распавядуць, што пэцкаюцца настаўнікі, бо працуюць у дзяржшколах, пэцкаюцца ратавальнікі, якія працуюць у МНС. І увогуле ў краіне засталіся адны хатаскрайнікі.

    І ім усё адно, хто будзе вучыць іхных дзяцей матэматыцы і фізіцы, хто будзе ратаваць людзей з пажараў.

    Пра падаткі - любімая тэма, разам з "усе бізнесы служаць рэжыму", праскоквае перыядычна нават у нашаніўскім "Току". А нічога, што з гэтых падаткаў вашы жывыя няз'ехалыя бацькі атрымліваюць пенсіі? Нічога, што ў радзільнях нараджаюцца новыя беларусы? Калі зможаце, вернецеся, каб іх правільна вучыць у школах і беларускіх ВНУ? Бадай, хопіць пытанняў.
