Vladimir Sorokin. Tellurium (№ 247856)

You listen to me! Post-Soviet rulers, feeling, so to speak, close kirdyk, threw the popular cry: look for the national idea! Announced a competition, gathered scholars, scientists, writers - have we, dear, the national idea! Almost from the tinyscope searched ideological corners: where, where is our national idea?! Fools, they did not understand that the national idea is not a treasure in the seven seals, not the formula, not the vaccine, which can vaccinate the patient population overnight! The national idea, if it is, lives in every human state, from the janitor to the banker. And if it is not, but its trying to find - then such a state is doomed!
