The principle of illusory reality. Sokolov. Yeshchenko. Furgal. A philosophical essay.
Before our eyes, dramas were unfolding and are unfolding in which the main characters were and are Oleg Sokolov, Anastasia Yeshchenko, Sergei Furgal.
They are all completely different people. But they have something in common - this is the influence of the principle of illusory reality on them.
Oleg Sokolov is one of the most qualified Russian historians. His qualifications are proved by his scientific works, his knowledge, his demand abroad, his popularity among students.
He is a man with a numerous flaws. These flaws do not negate his qualifications.
He's pretty careful. He does not criticize the modern [Russial] orders, although he does not praise them. At the lectures, he spoke positively about patriotism in general terms. When took place a phone call of people who are now called pranksters, he expressed his willingness to cooperate, but asked for help in obtaining a doctor of sciences and a professor - with these titles his cooperation will be more effective.
How did the principle of illusory reality act in relation to Sokolov?
Firstly, Sokolov believed that he lived in a civilized country, where people of knowledge were treated with minimal respect.
When his Moscow influential friends slightly lost their significance, Sokolov, by chance, got involved in a conflict with one of the representatives of the modern sub-culture.
From that moment, within two years, he became the object of persecution - all sorts of actions (against him) on the Internet, hostile actions (a covered, written walls in the entrance ... a litigations ...) ...
It turned out that a man of knowledge is defenseless ...
A person with a special suspiciousness may suspect the existence of a certain X (an individual or a group). This X at beginning contributes to the strengthening of the controlled conflict between the historian and his persecutors - out of utilitarian motives (in order to worsen the common positions of the Moscow friends of the historian). As time passes, X moves from rational to aesthetic motives - he enjoys the helpless movements of a defenseless victim. X is a hypothetical puppeteer. But besides the puppeteer, there are also practical performers.
Media information about the history of bullying, about a recent (seemingly ridiculous) story during the trial suggests that the perpetrators of the bullying (with their instincts and practical experience) from afar felt the 'smell of blood'. That is, they realized that before them is a defenseless victim, which they will bring to the final point with pleasure, without much difficulty and without any risk ...
It was especially bitter to realize that he was a defenseless target of persecution, for a man who was in a relationship with a girl who was several decades younger than him.
Jealousy and other negativity combined and created a factor of continuous stress ... The most unpleasant consequences came.
How else has the principle of illusory reality manifested itself - in relation to Sokolov?
Secondly, he may have hoped to the last that a man of knowledge could count on a successful scientific career.
But he is already over 60 years old. He is a generally recognized scientific value ... But he is still an associate professor ... It's strange, who are reaching titles of a doctor of science and a professor?
Anastasia Yeshchenko is also an object of influence of the principle of illusory reality.
She is a student. A good, diligent student. She enjoys doing science. She has no desire to return to the province from the semi-capital [semi-metropolitan] Petersburg.
The outstanding historian Sokolov amazes her imagination. Excellent lectures, participation in historical reenactments, beautiful historical clothing, many contacts among significant people, opportunities for business trips abroad.
Close relationships develop, and possibly, a love.
But after rapprochement, Anastasia Yeshchenko discovers that the outstanding historian Sokolov is not as influential as she imagined. He is not a doctor of science or a professor. He cannot be her (as a graduate student) scientific advisor . He certainly helps ..
So what happens? A person may have a huge qualification, but he may have no a normal career? An unpleasant discovery made after the rapprochement ...
To this discovery is added the story of the persecution of Sokolov. Yes, it turns out that the respected Sokolov, awarded the Order of the Legion of Honor, is not so influential person. You can insult him, you can insult her (his girlfriend), and the most famous historian cannot defend himself or her .
Observers of the events (with a particularly suspiciousness) may suggest that Eshchenko, with the help of supernatural female intuition, saw in the future a negative result of her efforts related to writing and defending a dissertation. With this version, her assessment of the project "relations with Sokolov" would become sharply negative.
Sokolov arming himself? Does he have a registered rifle? And an unregistered obrez [an illegal weapon that was created by cutting off the barrel of a standard rifle]? Does a gun appear during the arrest? An university historian is the owner of three firearms? In fact, in a civilized society scientists are peaceful people ... Their weapon is knowledge, their weapon is the pen of a writer. But that is in a civilized society. The principle of illusory reality works.
Wedding postponed ... Financial difficulties ...
A lot of problems.
Involuntarily the question arises - what is her own future? The feeling of bitterness (disappointment?) gets stronger and stronger.
For all that, according to the recollections of Sokolov himself, Yeshchenko has already become a very qualified scientist. Undoubtedly, he had a positive influence on his girlfriends. Advices, examples, a help ... She worked in the archives. She learned French so well that she was able to read hard-to-read, hardly legible archival texts in French. She was publishing own scientific history works ...
But what about the family, but what about the career? This is important for the girl ... The bitterness is growing. At some point, Yeshchenko inadvertently - at a very inopportune moment - reads, says to Sokolov, an insulting inscription on the wall at the entrance. (This is the version of events presented in the media ...). Sokolov could perceive such an act as a her transition to the ranks of his opponents - to the ranks of the organizers of the persecution. Such an act could represent her in the eyes of Sokolov as one of the personified accomplices of the persecution. I don't want to talk about what happened next..
Emotions replaced one another. An absolutely reliable reconstruction is impossible. We set out our version of events.
In addition to the factor of two years of bullying, consumers of media products are also familiar with the story of Sokolov's "previous girlfriend", also a young girl named in the media as Catherine, who described in detail her version of her relationship with him (approximately 2007-2010), and allegedly applied to the police for protection... ...
Let's return to the relationship between Oleg Sokolov and Anastasia Yeshchenko.
Let's note a peculiar manifestation of the Stockholm syndrome. It is not so pleasant to be in the ranks of the persecuted. For someone, the (impulsive) desire to cross the moral boundary and become - at least for one moment - in the ranks of not those who are being bullied, but those who are bullying, can become irresistible (uncontrollable) ...
Both Oleg Sokolov and Anastasia Yeshchenko are people of knowledge. Both of them (illusory) believed that a high level of knowledge allows them to be at a relatively high level in the social hierarchy and to feel relatively safe. Alas, this is an illusion ...
Sergey Furgal was well versed in the problems of the Khabarovsk Territory. He had the right goals - updating the team, new principles of personnel policy, focusing on reducing the state debt of the Khabarovsk Territory, on improving the living standards of the population ...
It is not so easy to achieve this ... But in his hands is the state power obtained through participation in elections (the position of governor), at his disposal is the state apparatus of the subject of the federation, he is in charge of the regional budget. He has extensive connections at the federal level.
However, the longer he was in office, the more he realized that his all potential could not become a lever for real economic change. He could not significantly change tariffs and taxes, migration policy. He had the right to make debts ... The state debt of the region was growing, the living standards of the population did not show positive changes ...
Sergei Furgal believed that his high status, the trust of voters, and connections allow him to be at a relatively high level in the social hierarchy and to feel relatively safe. Alas, this is an illusion ...
Three smart, active, qualified people at some point (each in their own time) discovered that they live in a world of illusions ...
Meanwhile, the chain of various man-made disasters continues ... The scale of forest fires is growing.
'... The incident occurred 29 kilometers from the city of Usinsk on Saturday, 1st [August 1, 2020]. During the dismantling of the decommissioned pipeline, an employee of the contractor damaged the pressure pipeline ... As a result, at least 7 tons of oily liquid were spilled, 0.48 hectares were polluted. (...)
Let us remind you that several similar ecological disasters have happened in Russia recently. On May 29, a fuel tank collapsed at TPP-3 in Norilsk, thousands of tons of oil products got into the water area and soil. An emergency regime was introduced in the Krasnoyarsk Territory ...
In early June, 10 tons of oil spilled from a well in a hard-to-reach area of the Arctic Circle. Later in Cherepovets, 2.6 tons of benzene were spilled at the metallurgical plant, and diesel fuel was poured at a power plant in Yakutia. At the end of June, Norilsk was again unlucky: a landfill with industrial waste caught fire there. In July, an emergency regime was introduced in a village on the Taimyr Peninsula after a fuel spill at the "daughter" of Norilsk Nickel, and in Karelia, after an accident at the Ondskaya HPP, fuel oil spilled.

The service of foresters, the technical intelligentsia have already been liquidated (or are close to liquidation) ... In general, the intelligentsia ...
Sokolov, Eshchenko, Furgal are examples of more or less typical modern biographies of modern, very energetic, knowledgeable (albeit not devoid of shortcomings) people - people living under the influence of the principle of illusory reality.
