Twenty Years of Parliamentarism in St.Petersburg, Russia

Who manages the past - that manages the present,

who manages the present - he manages future.

L.N.Gumilev



In the brilliant novel of George Orwell "1984", which reveals the essence of totalitarian authority, are shown many faces of bureaucratic "vertical line". One of such faces - tedious work with the past.



The Orwel’s theorem proves life itself: who manages presently, that shows the past in the manner that to him profitably. Frequently still with the life of those, who know however, that it was in reality.



Our native land to the intransient value of the Orwell novel has the most straight direct relation - whereas not at the empty place the writers of anecdotes call Russia the country with the unpredictable past!



And the discussion completely does not deal with one commonplace manipulation alone of facts. In the arsenal of the court "historians" and "of fighters" against this history by falsification myth creation, slander, and especially loved in Russia as this is noticed by M.E.Saltykov-Shchedrin, "the figure of silence".



The deputies of Lensoviet (Leningrad Soviet of Workers' Deputies) of the XXI convocation - the first and last democratic parliament of Leningrad (Saint Petersburg) - in the past twenty years ascertained that the copying of history by no means only topical motion of novelists. Entire their short and bright life in the policy in the period 1990-1993 now they attempt to smear, to modify, to partially "forget", and good to present to other heroes of that time. The representatives of present authority have for this all means: the influential state television channels, dependent on the budget of newspaper, controlled education system, public workers, who zealously transmit the indications "of management".



But how did stir Lensoviet present political elite? Why truth about the recent past of Saint Petersburg is so unpleasant the powers that be?



This book is a great attempt at the breakthrough in the all around defense of "privatizators of the past and present". In it the recollections about Lensoviet, about the political events of the beginning of the 90's of the past century of those are represented, who itself of lime-pits then history, confirmed by documents and publications of that time.



Print run is, unfortunately, small, but there is a version of this rare publication in the network "Internet", accessible to each. I would recommend the reading of present collection to all compatriots, to whom historical truth is the large value, who itself was ready to get to know truth. Read, you will compare it with the work of court "historians". But when you will find divergences, try to use its own mind in order to separate the wheat from the chaff.
