DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS RUSSIA SPAIN

 

Due to my naturally kind condition, I sometimes err on the side of credulity by preferring flattery and the censer to stabbing in the back, even though I have experienced a profession such as journalism where knife-knifing is common. I confess moralizing and sometimes satirical with no other intention than to warn vices, denounce shenanigans and collusion. I incline to the legal maxim of in dubio pro reo. Sometimes this leniency formula cannot be applied. Then you have to go to the scalpel. The war in Ukraine and my thesis that almost all of it was Russian, especially in the area of ​​Crimea, Odessa and most of the cities bordering the Black Sea, has turned me into the odd hand ut. I must be one of the few Spanish journalists who speak out in favor of Putin, which has earned me disqualifications, insults and even spitting. I am not a resentful handler of the information of a man who traveled the world as a correspondent in London and New York and I have read most of the Russian literature, which in many cases resembles ours. Gorki reminds me of Quevedo. Galdós puts on an air with Tolstoy and in Chejov's theater I found reminiscences of Tirso de Molina. Castile and Russia have a critical soul towards the system of government. Gogol's Dead Souls could have been signed by Cervantes. This factor does not occur in almost any European literature. Both English and French or Germans and Italians sweep home. Cow of mystery that two towns so distant face life with a character so similar. The Russian globetrotters resemble the Spanish rogues and some mystics of the sects such as the flagellants or the starzi resemble the Castilian conversos who walled themselves in for life to flee from the world.

Diplomatic relations with the Duke of Muscovy date back to the middle ages. He traded furs. An Armenian bishop made a pilgrimage to Compostela in the 13th century. Calderón talks about them in Life is a Dream. His Segismundo was a man of the steppe.

Until 1613, when the first Romanov came to the throne, diplomatic relations were not established. These are not strengthened until the 19th century when Elizabeth II appoints the Duke of Osuna ambassador to the court of the tsars. The extravagances of this character who threw gold coins into the Neva and had affairs with actresses and professionals from the capital left a mark on some Russian novels where the Spanish is reflected as bizarre and exotic, Osuna must have been a very passionate guy. He had Don Juan Valera, the author of Pepita Jiménez, as his secretary. This one did honor the name that he had of her because he was leaving a trail of love wherever he went, so much so that in Washington one of her lovers committed suicide when she found out that he was abandoning her.

during the civil war these relations intensified. Stalin sent his best journalists: Ehrenburg, ambassadors like Rosemberg or generals like Primakov. When they lost the war and returned to Russia, he ordered them to be shot and only Ilia Ehrenburg, a very astute Jew who was enthusiastic at the sight of the city of Toledo, was saved from the Saracen.

Russia was generous to the children of the war. Many did not return, they made careers, became engineers and teachers and married Russian girls.

Dolores Ibarruri's son Rubén died fighting the Germans on the Eastern Front. On the other side there were also Spaniards, the little soldiers of the Blau. I spoke with some of them who were in my father's regiment: an artilleryman was commissioned to fire on the palace of Catherine the Great, the famous czarina who has gone down in history for her love affairs "but the goniometer had frozen that day and the shot did not explode… we had many casualties, the Russians were very brave, they attacked in waves, they even hit our identity cards… I was lucky enough to get on the last Wehrmacht evacuation truck leaving for Berlin. Those who remained there in sight of Catalina's palace were taken prisoner by all of Captain Palacios's company or froze to death” the story of this caller expresses the admiration for the Red Army and that certain sympathy that always existed between the two peoples. That is why it saddens me that President Sánchez makes common cause with the hairless Boris Johnson, that crazy-looking Englishman, applauds Biden with his ears, and shows solidarity with Zelensky, a war criminal for me who is leading Ukraine into chaos in the midst of of a massacre. But of course I am no longer the odd hand out. The dissenting voice in the midst of this choir of thurifers. Despite the attacks and insults and the silence of which I am the object, they will not silence me

 RELATIONS DIPLOMATIQUES RUSSIE ESPAGNE

 

En raison de ma condition naturellement gentille, je pèche parfois par excès de crédulité en préférant la flatterie et l'encensoir au coup de couteau dans le dos, même si j'ai expérimenté un métier comme le journalisme où le couteau est courant. Je m'avoue moralisateur et parfois satirique sans autre intention que de prévenir les vices, dénoncer les magouilles et les collusions. Je penche pour la maxime légale in dubio pro reo. Parfois, cette formule de clémence ne peut pas être appliquée. Ensuite, vous devez passer au scalpel. La guerre en Ukraine et ma thèse selon laquelle presque tout était russe, en particulier dans la région de la Crimée, d'Odessa et de la plupart des villes bordant la mer Noire, ont fait de moi une main étrange. Je dois être l'un des rares journalistes espagnols à prendre la parole en faveur de Poutine, ce qui m'a valu des disqualifications, des insultes et même des crachats. Je ne suis pas un gestionnaire rancunier des informations d'un homme qui a parcouru le monde en tant que correspondant à Londres et à New York et j'ai lu la majeure partie de la littérature russe, qui dans de nombreux cas ressemble à la nôtre. Gorki me rappelle Quevedo. Galdós joue un air avec Tolstoï et dans le théâtre de Chejov j'ai trouvé des réminiscences de Tirso de Molina. La Castille et la Russie ont une âme critique envers le système de gouvernement. Dead Souls de Gogol aurait pu être signé par Cervantès. Ce facteur n'apparaît dans presque aucune littérature européenne. Les Anglais et les Français ou les Allemands et les Italiens rentrent chez eux. Vache de mystère que deux villes si éloignées affrontent la vie avec un caractère si similaire. Les globe-trotters russes ressemblent aux coquins espagnols et certains mystiques des sectes comme les flagellants ou les starzi ressemblent aux conversos castillans qui se sont emmurés à vie pour fuir le monde.

Les relations diplomatiques avec le duc de Moscovie remontent au moyen-âge. La fourrure faisait l'objet d'un commerce. Un évêque arménien fit un pèlerinage à Compostelle au XIIIe siècle. Calderón en parle dans La vie est un rêve. Son Sigismond était un homme de la steppe.

Jusqu'en 1613, lorsque le premier Romanov monta sur le trône, les relations diplomatiques ne furent pas établies. Celles-ci ne sont renforcées qu'au XIXe siècle quand Elizabeth II nomme le duc d'Osuna ambassadeur à la cour des tsars. Les extravagances de ce personnage qui a jeté des pièces d'or dans la Neva et eu des liaisons avec des actrices et des professionnels de la capitale ont marqué certains romans russes où l'espagnol est reflété comme bizarre et exotique, Osuna devait être un gars très passionné. Son secrétaire était Don Juan Valera, l'auteur de Pepita Jiménez. Celle-ci a fait honneur au nom qu'elle portait car elle laissait une traînée d'amour partout où elle passait, à tel point qu'à Washington une de ses amantes s'est suicidée lorsqu'elle a appris qu'il l'abandonnait.

pendant la guerre civile, ces relations se sont intensifiées. Staline a envoyé ses meilleurs journalistes : Ehrenbourg, des ambassadeurs comme Rosemberg ou des généraux comme Primakov. Lorsqu'ils perdirent la guerre et revinrent en Russie, il ordonna qu'ils soient fusillés et seul Ilia Ehrenburg, un Juif très astucieux qui s'enthousiasma à la vue de la ville de Tolède, fut sauvé des Sarrasins.

La Russie a été généreuse envers les enfants de la guerre. Beaucoup ne sont pas revenus, ils ont fait carrière, sont devenus ingénieurs et enseignants et ont épousé des filles russes.

Le fils de Dolores Ibarruri, Rubén, est mort en combattant les Allemands sur le front de l'Est. De l'autre côté, il y avait aussi des Espagnols, les petits soldats des Blau. J'ai parlé avec certains d'entre eux qui étaient dans le régiment de mon père : un artilleur a été chargé de tirer sur le palais de Catherine la Grande, la célèbre tsarine qui est entrée dans l'histoire pour ses amours " mais le goniomètre s'était figé ce jour-là et le le coup n'a pas explosé… nous avons eu beaucoup de blessés, les Russes ont été très courageux, ils ont attaqué par vagues, ils ont même frappé nos cartes d'identité… J'ai eu la chance de monter dans le dernier camion d'évacuation de la Wehrmacht en partance pour Berlin. Ceux qui y restèrent en vue du palais de Catalina furent faits prisonniers par toute la compagnie du capitaine Palacios ou moururent de froid » le récit de cet interlocuteur exprime l'admiration pour l'Armée rouge et cette certaine sympathie qui a toujours existé entre les deux peuples. C'est pourquoi cela m'attriste que le président Sánchez fasse cause commune avec le chauve Boris Johnson, cet Anglais à l'air fou, applaudit Biden avec ses oreilles et se montre solidaire avec Zelensky, un criminel de guerre pour moi qui mène l'Ukraine au chaos au milieu d'un massacre. Mais bien sûr, je ne suis plus la main impaire. La voix discordante au milieu de ce chœur de thuriféraires. Malgré les attaques et insultes et le silence dont je suis l'objet, ils ne me feront pas taire

 ДИПЛОМАТИЧЕСКИЕ ОТНОШЕНИЯ РОССИЯ ИСПАНИЯ

 

Из-за моего естественного доброго состояния я иногда ошибаюсь в сторону доверчивости, предпочитая лесть и кадило удару в спину, хотя у меня был опыт такой профессии, как журналистика, где ножом обычно пользуются. Я исповедую морализаторство, а иногда и сатирику с единственной целью предупредить о пороках, обличить махинации и сговор. Я склоняюсь к юридическому правилу in dubio pro reo. Иногда эта формула снисхождения не может быть применена. Тогда придется идти к скальпелю. Война на Украине и мой тезис о том, что почти все это было русским, особенно в районе Крыма, Одессы и большинства городов, граничащих с Черным морем, превратили меня в лишнюю руку ут. Я должен быть одним из немногих испанских журналистов, которые высказываются в пользу Путина, чем заслужил дисквалификацию, оскорбления и даже плевки. Я не обиженный обработчик информации человека, который путешествовал по миру в качестве корреспондента в Лондоне и Нью-Йорке и прочитал большую часть русской литературы, которая во многих случаях похожа на нашу. Горки напоминает мне Кеведо. Гальдос играет с Толстым, а в театре Чехова я нашел воспоминания о Тирсо де Молине. Кастилия и Россия критически относятся к системе правления. «Мертвые души» Гоголя могли быть подписаны Сервантесом. Этот фактор не встречается почти ни в одной европейской литературе. И англичане, и французы, и немцы, и итальянцы сметают домой. Корова-загадка, что два города, столь далекие друг от друга, сталкиваются с жизнью с таким похожим характером. Русские путешественники напоминают испанских жуликов, а некоторые мистики сект, таких как бичеватели или старци, напоминают кастильских conversos, замуровавших себя на всю жизнь, чтобы бежать от мира.

Дипломатические отношения с князем Московии восходят к средневековью. Мех был продан. Армянский епископ совершил паломничество в Компостелу в 13 веке. Кальдерон рассказывает о них в книге «Жизнь — это мечта». Его Сигизмунд был степняком.

До 1613 года, когда на престол вступили первые Романовы, дипломатические отношения не устанавливались. Они не укреплялись до 19 века, когда Елизавета II назначила герцога Осунского послом при царском дворе. Экстравагантность этого персонажа, бросавшего золотые монеты в Неву и имевшего романы с актрисами и профессионалами из столицы, наложила отпечаток на некоторые русские романы, где испанцы представлены как причудливые и экзотические, Осуна, должно быть, был очень страстным парнем. Его секретарем был дон Хуан Валера, автор Пепиты Хименес. Этот действительно чтил имя, которое он носил, потому что он оставлял след любви, куда бы он ни шел, настолько, что в Вашингтоне одна из его любовниц покончила жизнь самоубийством, когда узнала, что он бросает ее.

в годы гражданской войны эти отношения обострились. Сталин прислал своих лучших журналистов: Эренбурга, послов вроде Роземберга или генералов вроде Примакова. Когда они проиграли войну и вернулись в Россию, он приказал их расстрелять и только Илья Эренбург, очень проницательный еврей, восторженный видом города Толедо, был спасен от сарацин.

Россия была щедра к детям войны. Многие не вернулись, сделали карьеру, стали инженерами и учителями, женились на русских девушках.

Сын Долорес Ибаррури Рубен погиб, сражаясь с немцами на Восточном фронте. С другой стороны были также испанцы, маленькие солдаты Блау. Я разговаривал с некоторыми из них, состоявшими в отцовском полку: артиллеристу было поручено обстрелять дворец Екатерины Великой, знаменитой царицы, вошедшей в историю своими любовными похождениями, «но в тот день угломер замер и выстрел не разорвался… у нас было много потерь, русские были очень храбры, они атаковали волнами, они даже задели наши удостоверения… Мне посчастливилось попасть в последний эвакуационный грузовик вермахта, отправляющийся в Берлин. Те, кто оставался там в виду дворца Каталины, были взяты в плен всей ротой капитана Паласиоса или замерзли насмерть» рассказ этого звонящего выражает восхищение Красной Армией и ту некую симпатию, которая всегда существовала между двумя народами. Вот почему меня огорчает, что президент Санчес объединяется с безволосым Борисом Джонсоном, этим сумасшедшим англичанином, ушами аплодирует Байдену и проявляет солидарность с Зеленским, военным преступником для меня, который ведет Украину к хаосу среди резни. Но, конечно, я больше не лишняя рука. Несогласный голос посреди этого хора туриферов. Несмотря на нападки и оскорбления и молчание, объектом которого я являюсь, они не заставят меня замолчать

 DIPLOMATISCHE BEZIEHUNGEN RUSSLAND SPANIEN

 

Aufgrund meiner von Natur aus freundlichen Verfassung gehe ich manchmal auf die Seite der Leichtgläubigkeit, indem ich Schmeicheleien und Weihrauchfässern dem Stechen in den Rücken vorziehe, obwohl ich einen Beruf wie den Journalismus erlebt habe, in dem das Messerschneiden üblich ist. Ich bekenne moralisierend und manchmal satirisch, mit keiner anderen Absicht, als Laster zu warnen, Spielereien und geheime Absprachen anzuprangern. Ich neige zum Rechtsgrundsatz in dubio pro reo. Manchmal kann diese Nachsichtsformel nicht angewendet werden. Dann müssen Sie zum Skalpell greifen. Der Krieg in der Ukraine und meine These, dass fast alles russisch war, vor allem im Krimgebiet, in Odessa und den meisten Städten am Schwarzen Meer, hat mich in eine seltsame Situation gebracht. Ich muss einer der wenigen spanischen Journalisten sein, die sich für Putin aussprechen, was mir Disqualifikationen, Beleidigungen und sogar Spucken eingebracht hat. Ich bin kein ärgerlicher Handhaber der Informationen eines Mannes, der als Korrespondent in London und New York um die Welt gereist ist, und ich habe den größten Teil der russischen Literatur gelesen, die in vielen Fällen der unseren ähnelt. Gorki erinnert mich an Quevedo. Galdós spielt mit Tolstoi und in Chejovs Theater fand ich Reminiszenzen an Tirso de Molina. Kastilien und Russland stehen dem Regierungssystem kritisch gegenüber. Gogols Dead Souls hätte von Cervantes signiert sein können. Dieser Faktor kommt in fast keiner europäischen Literatur vor. Sowohl Engländer als auch Franzosen oder Deutsche und Italiener fegen nach Hause. Eine mysteriöse Kuh, dass zwei so weit entfernte Städte dem Leben mit einem so ähnlichen Charakter gegenüberstehen. Die russischen Weltenbummler ähneln den spanischen Schurken und manche Sektenmystiker wie die Flagellanten oder die Starzi ähneln den kastilischen Conversos, die sich lebenslang einmauerten, um der Welt zu entfliehen.

Die diplomatischen Beziehungen zum Herzog von Moskau reichen bis ins Mittelalter zurück. Pelz wurde gehandelt. Ein armenischer Bischof pilgerte im 13. Jahrhundert nach Compostela. Calderón spricht darüber in Life is a Dream. Sein Sigismund war ein Mann der Steppe.

Bis 1613, als der erste Romanow den Thron bestieg, wurden keine diplomatischen Beziehungen aufgenommen. Diese werden erst im 19. Jahrhundert gestärkt, als Elisabeth II. den Herzog von Osuna zum Botschafter am Zarenhof ernennt. Die Extravaganzen dieser Figur, die Goldmünzen in die Newa warf und Affären mit Schauspielerinnen und Profis aus der Hauptstadt hatte, hinterließen Spuren in einigen russischen Romanen, in denen das Spanische als bizarr und exotisch wiedergegeben wird, Osuna muss ein sehr leidenschaftlicher Typ gewesen sein. Sein Sekretär war Don Juan Valera, der Autor von Pepita Jiménez. Dieser machte seinem Namen alle Ehre, weil er überall eine Spur der Liebe hinterließ, so sehr, dass in Washington eine seiner Geliebten Selbstmord beging, als sie herausfand, dass er sie im Stich ließ.

während des Bürgerkriegs intensivierten sich diese Beziehungen. Stalin schickte seine besten Journalisten: Ehrenburg, Botschafter wie Rosemberg oder Generäle wie Primakow. Als sie den Krieg verloren und nach Russland zurückkehrten, ließ er sie erschießen und nur Ilia Ehrenburg, eine sehr schlaue Jüdin, die vom Anblick der Stadt Toledo begeistert war, wurde vor den Sarazenen gerettet.

Russland war den Kindern des Krieges gegenüber großzügig. Viele kehrten nicht zurück, machten Karriere, wurden Ingenieure und Lehrer und heirateten russische Mädchen.

Dolores Ibarruris Sohn Rubén starb im Kampf gegen die Deutschen an der Ostfront. Auf der anderen Seite waren auch Spanier, die kleinen Soldaten der Blau. Ich habe mit einigen von ihnen gesprochen, die im Regiment meines Vaters waren: Ein Artillerist wurde beauftragt, auf den Palast von Katharina der Großen zu schießen, der berühmten Zarin, die wegen ihrer Liebesaffären in die Geschichte eingegangen ist, "aber das Goniometer war an diesem und dem Tag eingefroren Schuss explodierte nicht … wir hatten viele Verluste, die Russen waren sehr tapfer, sie griffen in Wellen an, sie trafen sogar unsere Ausweise … Ich hatte das Glück, in den letzten Evakuierungslastwagen der Wehrmacht zu steigen, der nach Berlin fuhr. Diejenigen, die dort in Sichtweite von Catalinas Palast blieben, wurden von der gesamten Kompanie von Hauptmann Palacios gefangen genommen oder erfroren.“ Die Geschichte dieses Anrufers drückt die Bewunderung für die Rote Armee und jene gewisse Sympathie aus, die zwischen den beiden Völkern immer bestand. Deshalb macht es mich traurig, dass Präsident Sánchez mit dem haarlosen Boris Johnson, diesem verrückt aussehenden Engländer, gemeinsame Sache macht, Biden mit den Ohren applaudiert und sich solidarisiert mit Zelensky, einem Kriegsverbrecher für mich, der die Ukraine mitten ins Chaos führt von einem Massaker. Aber natürlich bin ich nicht mehr der Außenseiter. Die abweichende Stimme inmitten dieses Chors von Weihrauchgewächsen. Trotz der Angriffe und Beleidigungen und des Schweigens, dessen Gegenstand ich bin, werden sie mich nicht zum Schweigen bringen

 

RELACIONES DIPLOMÁTICAS RUSIA ESPAÑA

 

Por mi condición natural bondadosa a veces peco de credulidad por preferir la lisonja y el incensario a la puñalada trapera y eso que he vivido una profesión como el periodismo donde es habitual el navajeo. Me confieso moralizante y a veces satírico sin otra intención que la de advertir vicios, denunciar chanchullos y contubernios. Me inclino a la máxima jurídica de in dubio pro reo. A veces no se puede aplicar esta fórmula de lenidad. Entonces ha de acudirse al escalpelo. La guerra de Ucrania y mi tesis de que fue rusa casi toda ella sobre todo en el área de Crimea, Odesa y la mayor parte de las ciudades limítrofes con el Mar Negro me ha convertido en the odd mano ut. Debo ser de los pocos periodistas españoles que se manifiesta en favor de Putin lo que me ha valido descalificaciones insultos y hasta escupitajos. No soy un resentido manejo la información de hombre que anduvo por el mundo como corresponsal en Londres y en Nueva York y me he leído la mayor parte de la literatura rusa que en muchos casos se parece a la nuestra. Gorki me recuerda a Quevedo. Galdós se da un aire con Tolstoi y en el teatro de Chejov encontré reminiscencias de Tirso de Molina. Castilla y Rusia poseen un alma crítica hacia el sistema de gobierno. Las Almas Muertas de Gogol podrían haber sido firmadas por Cervantes. Este factor no se da en casi ninguna literatura europea. Tanto ingleses como franceses o alemanes e italianos barren para casa. Vaca de misterio que dos pueblos tan distantes se enfrenten a la vida con un carácter tan parecido. Los trotamundos rusos se parecen a los pícaros españole y algunos místicos de las sectas como los flagelantes o los starzi semejan a los conversos castellanos que se emparedaban de por vida para huir del mundo.

Las relaciones diplomáticas con el Duque de Moscovia datan de la edad media. Se comerciaba con pieles. Un obispo armenio peregrinó a Compostela de el siglo XIII. Calderón habla de ellos en la Vida es Sueño. Su Segismundo era un hombre de la estepa.

Hasta 1613 cuando sube al trono el primer Romanov no se instauran relaciones diplomáticas. Estas no se fortalecen hasta el siglo XIX cuando Isabel II nombra al Duque de Osuna embajador en la corte de los zares. Las extravagancias de este personaje que lanzaba al Neva monedas de oro y tuvo amores con actrices y profesionales de la capital dejaron mella en algunas novelas rusas donde lo español es reflejado como bizarro y exótico, Osuna debió de ser un tipo muy apasionado. Tuvo como secretario a don Juan Valera el autor de Pepita Jiménez. Este sí que hacía honor al nombre que llevaba porque iba dejando un reguero de amores allí por donde pasaba, tanto es así que en Washington una de sus amantes suicidó cuando supo que la abandonaba.

durante la guerra civil se intensificaron estas relaciones. Stalin mandó a sus mejores periodistas: Ehrenburg, embajadores como Rosemberg o generales como Primakov. Al perder la guerra y regresados a Rusia los mandó fusilar y sólo Ilia Ehrenburg un judío muy astuto que se entusiasmaba a vistas de la ciudad de Toledo se salvó de la sarracina.

Rusia se portó de una forma generosa con los niños de la guerra. Muchos no regresaron, hicieron carrera, se convirtieron en ingenieros y maestros y contrajeron nupcias con chicas rusas.

El hijo de Dolores Ibarruri Rubén murió combatiendo contra los alemanes en el Frente del Este. En el otro lado había también españoles los soldaditos de la Blau. Hablé con algunos de ellos que estaban en el regimiento de mi padre: un artillero recibió el encargo de hacer fuego contra el palacio de Catalina la Grande la famosa zarina que ha pasado a la historia por sus devaneos amorosos “pero el goniómetro se había congelado aquel día y el tiro no explotó… tuvimos muchas bajas, los rusos eran muy valientes, atacaban en oleadas, nos dieron hasta en el carné de identidad… Tuve la suerte de subir al ultimo camión de la Wehrmacht de evacuación que salía para Berlín. Los que quedaron allá a la vista del palacio de Catalina cayeron prisioneros todos los de la compañía del capitán Palacios o murieron congelados” el relato de este comunicante expresa la admiración hacia el Ejercito Rojo y esa cierta simpatía que siempre hubo entre los dos pueblos. Por eso me apena que el presidente Sánchez haga causa común con el despeluzado Boris Johnson ese inglés con pinta de loco, aplauda a Biden con las orejas, y se solidarice con Zelenski un criminal de guerra para mí que está llevando a Ucrania al caos en medio de una masacre. Pero claro yo no soy más the odd mano out. La voz disidente en medio de este coro de turiferarios. Pese a los ataques e injurias y el silencio del cual soy objeto no me callarán  

  ENIGMAS DE LAS SECTAS RUSAS

 

Hubo un tiempo en que estudié el fenómeno de los raskolniki o disidentes de la ortodoxia que tuvo un deriva en los viejos creyentes o staroi vierosii. Se trataba de volver a las esencias del cristianismo, loable propósito pero que casi siempre deriva en excesos, cismas, desviaciones. El cristianismo para mí es liturgia, tradición y lectura de la Escritura. 

Lo demás nos lleva a Lutero a las aberraciones de algunos pontífices como el actual cuya falta de humildad y su simpatía con las cosas del mundo le vuelve sospechoso.

Mi lema es no lo toquéis más que así es la rosa. Por lo demás alcancé una suerte de nirvana y comunión con todas las religiones que son buenas y sirven para mejorar la vida del hombre: el judaísmo, el mahometismo o el budismo. Esta última me parece de gran aportación a la vida moderna pues implementa la meditación y la paz consigo mismo. 

Un ejemplo de país es Japón con su respeto a los demás, la cortesía y la gran tradición litúrgica. Los monjes budistas también buscan el camino de perfección. Y se proclaman castos de por vida.

En cuanto a los cismas rusos estos se producen en Siberia entre los susurros del bosque y la inmensidad de la taiga. 

La historia de la iglesia rusa habla de místicos que  alcanzaban la contemplación mediante la danza como los derviches musulmanes. Practicaban el accésit místico girando a compás de los cuerpos celestes. Son los “Bolovki” (hombres del bosque) y se organizaban en “rasdenias” o ruedas. 

El canto y la música eran imprescindibles en sus prolongadas liturgias y en sus ayunos. Pero sus tenidas acababan en orgías. De uno de estos monasterios siberianos surgió Rasputin que abandonó la clausura después de dejar encinta a una monja por nombre Xenia. Otra secta sin embargo predicaba el abandono en los brazos de Dios.

 Surgen en la bursa o seminarios. Los bursacos o seminaristas girovagos aterrorizaban a las aldeas.

 Algunos reciben las ordenes sagradas pero la mayor parte se convierten en peregrinos.

Van por el mundo recorriendo las inmensas distancias de la Santa Rusa con un mendrugo de pan en el macuto y una copia del evangelio de San Juan.

Predican por las aldeas el amor a Xto cumpliendo el mandato evangélico de no llevéis escarcela ni alforjas cuando lleguéis a una casa decid paz a esta casa, si os rechazan esa paz volverá a vosotros, permaneced con vuestro huésped y no mudéis. Comed lo que se os de. Esta secta formó parte de los yurodivi o santones peregrinos.

Más exaltados son los “sokopki” o castrados. Para vencer las inclinaciones de la carne cumplían al pie de la letra el mandato evangélico. “Si tu ojo te escandaliza arráncatelo”. la emasculación era para ellos una via de la trascendencia y una forma de llegar al cielo. Lo cual no deja de suponer una aberración.

Y u r o d i t s v o significa  inocencia o idiotez mesiánica. Turguenev habla de los yurodivi. Santones staretzi y  p r u g i v a l s n i k i  los que vivían de gorra.

 Russland und seine schwarze Legende

 

Es gibt Autoren, die sicherstellen, dass Russland ein Land ist, das fängt. Ich fiel in ihre Netzwerke in dieser kleinen orthodoxen Kirche in meiner Nachbarschaft in London, wo ich die göttliche Liturgie der Sonntage besuchte. Die Gemeinde wurde von einigen alten Nachkommen des Adels von Petersburguesa und den Menschen der Botschaft gebildet. Ich hatte den katholischen Glauben verloren, also hatten sie mich dazu gebracht, an diesen katholischen Priestern zu leiden, die von dem sehr affektiven und grausamen egoistischen Sex besessen waren.

Die Orthodoxie hat mich dazu gebracht, mich wieder mit Christus zu treffen, besonders in seiner langen Liturgie, die Trinitaristische Bevölkerung und Ehrfurcht (Plakoni), die mich an diese Hymnen erinnerte, die ich im Seminar auswendig gelernt habe. Er kehrte zu mir zurück, die Hingabe an die Mutter Gottes, die ich verstehe, gab mir den Rand seines Schutzmantels an Tagen des Kampfes und der Trübsal.

Mit einem kurzen Wellenradio lernte ich kirchliche russische Russisch und melkte die Emissionen von Radio Moskau zuerst aus London und später aus Madrid. Ich verliebte mich in die wundervolle Stimme von María Ivanova, eine "Diktora" oder Ansagerin, die in den Mikrofonen seine perfekte Stimme in die Luft warf.

Zeit voraus, als die Radiowelt aufgehört hat, analog zu sein, und das Netzwerk kam.

Xristos Baskriese ix Metti Smerti Propad und Sushim Vo Groviex Zhiverti Daroval (Christus rebierte von den toten, die zu Tode trampeln, und diejenigen, die in seinem Grab lagen, kehrten zum Leben zurück)

Eine Tatsache, die es verdient, sich nach dem Schreiben meines leeren Seminars abzuheben. “Ich verifizierte, dass russische Seminare und Klöster voll sind und dass die Religion wiederum sprudelnd ist. Der Kreml ist jedoch von einer Atmosphäre der Angst und des Terrors umgeben, die bei jedem Schritt in unseren spanischen Medien ausübt: Pedro I, Catalina la Grand the Baneded etc.

Als ich Alexei Markoff las, stelle ich fest, dass dieser Autor die Tinten in der schwarzen Legende beschreibt, wenn er die religiösen Sekten und Dissidenten beschreibt, die sich gegen den Patriarchen Nikon auftraten. In diesen Gemeinden, die versuchten, zu den wirklich Christen zurückzukehren, fielen in Aberrationen wie Springen, Derviches, die Castrate, die Flagellanten und die Yuridovi oder Globetrotter -Pilger in Aberrationen wie das Springen, die Pilger. Sie ließen ihr Haus die Ware unter den Armen verteilten und das Evangelium an die Steppe würde predigen. Sie waren das Wickeln der Währung. Wenn Sie russische Sekten wollen, sind sie ein beredtes Zeugnis darüber, wie verwurzeltes Christentum bei den Russen immer verwurzelt war. Offensichtlich übertreiben diejenigen, die Pábulo an die russische schwarze Legende geben. Sie kennen das Geheimnis der russischen Seele nicht, da ich glaube, ich kenne ihn.

Vielleicht tut es weh, dass Putin den Krieg gewinnt. Sie wollen die Heimat der blutigen Zaren nicht hungrig und beleidigt sehen. Weil Russland ein Land ist, das, wenn es nicht existierte, wir es wieder erfinden mussten.

 

RUSIA Y SU LEYENDA NEGRA

 

Hay autores que aseguran que Rusia es un país que atrapa. Yo caí en sus redes en aquella pequeña iglesia ortodoxa de mi barrio en Londres donde asistía a la divina liturgia de los domingos. La congregación la formaban algunas babuskas viejecitas descendientes de la nobleza petersburguesa y gente de la embajada. Yo había perdido la fe católica por lo que me habían hecho sufrir aquellos curas católicos obsesionados con el sexo egoístas poco afectivos y crueles.

La ortodoxia me hizo reencontrarme con Cristo otra vez sobre todo en su liturgia largas misas cantadas invocaciones trinitarias y reverencias (plakoni) que me recordaban aquellos himnos que aprendí de memoria en el Seminario. Volvió a mi la devoción a la Madre de Dios la cual creo entender me brindó el borde de su manto protector en días de lucha y tribulación.

Con una radio de onda corta aprendí algo de ruso eclesiástico y sintonizaba las emisiones de Radio Moscú primero desde Londres y más adelante desde Madrid. Me enamoraba la voz maravillosa de María Ivanova una “diktora” o locutora que en los micrófonos lanzaba al aire su voz perfecta.

Tiempo adelante cuando el mundo radial dejó de ser analógico y vino la Red comprendí que se puede alabar a Dios por este medio y durante cerca de veinte años celebraba la pascua rusa y cantaba en mi pequeño tabuco el grito de resurrección entonado con alegría:

Xristos baskriese ix merti smerti propad i sushim vo groviex zhiverti daroval (Cristo resucitó de los muertos pisoteó a la muerte y a los que yacían en su tumba les volvió a la vida)

Un dato que merece destacarse después de escribir Mi Seminario Vacío” comprobé que los seminarios y monasterios rusos están llenos y que la religión vuelve a ser efervescente. Sin embargo, al Kremlin lo rodea un ambiente de miedo y de terror que esgrimen a cada paso nuestros medios de comunicación españoles: Pedro I, Catalina la grande, Rasputín el conde Yusupov, Siberia, los tiempos terribles de la guerra fría, el hambre, los desterrados etc.

Leyendo a Alexei Markoff me doy cuenta de que dicho autor carga las tintas en la leyenda negra cuando describe las sectas y las disidencias religiosas acaecidas por oposición al patriarca Nikon. En estas comunidades tratando de volver a lo genuinamente cristiano se caían en aberraciones como la de los saltarine, los derviches, los castrados, los flagelantes y los yuridovi o trotamundos peregrinos. Abandonaban su casa repartían los bienes entre los pobres y se iban a predicar el evangelio a la estepa. Fueron el envés de la moneda. Si se quiere las sectas rusas son un testimonio elocuente de lo arraigado que siempre estuvo arraigado el cristianismo entre los rusos. Evidentemente los que dan pábulo a la leyenda negra rusa exageran. No conocen el misterio del alma rusa como creo conocerlo yo.

Quizás les duele que Putin esté ganando la guerra. Quieren ver a la patria de los zares ensangrentada irredenta hambrienta humillada y ofendida. Porque Rusia es un país que si no existiera teníamos que inventarlo de nuevo.

Top  Next Lectio Léctio Epistolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corinthios 1 Cor 11:23-29 Fratres: Ego enim accépi a Dómino quod et trádidi vobis, quóniam Dóminus Iesus, in qua nocte tradebátur, accépit panem, et grátias agens fregit, et dixit: Accípite, et manducáte: hoc est corpus meum, quod pro vobis tradétur: hoc fácite in meam commemoratiónem. Simíliter et cálicem, postquam cenávit, dicens: Hic calix novum Testaméntum est in meo sánguine. Hoc fácite, quotiescúmque bibétis, in meam commemoratiónem. Quotiescúmque enim manducábitis panem hunc et cálicem bibétis, mortem Dómini annuntiábitis, donec véniat. Itaque quicúmque manducáverit panem hunc vel bíberit cálicem Dómini indígne, reus erit córporis et sánguinis Dómini. Probet autem seípsum homo: et sic de pane illo edat et de calice bibat. Qui enim mandúcat et bibit indígne, iudícium sibi mandúcat et bibit: non diiúdicans corpus Dómini. R. Deo grátias.	10 Lesson Lesson from the first letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians 1 Cor. 23-29. Brethren: I myself have received from the Lord - what I also delivered to you, - that the Lord Jesus, on the night in which He was betrayed, took bread, and giving thanks broke, and said, Take and eat. This is My Body which shall be given up for you; do this in remembrance of Me. In like manner also the cup, after He had supped, saying, This is the new covenant in My Blood; do this as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me. For as often as you shall eat this Bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord, until He comes. Therefore whoever eats this Bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily, will be guilty of the Body and the Blood of the Lord. But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of that Bread and drink of the cup; for he who eats and drinks unworthily, without distinguishing the Body, eats and drinks judgment to himself. R. Thanks be to God.
Top  Next Graduale Ps 144:15-16 Oculi ómnium in te sperant, Dómine: et tu das illis escam in témpore opportúno, V. Aperis tu manum tuam: et imples omne animal benedictióne. Allelúia, allelúia, Ioannes 6:56-57 Caro mea vere est cibus, et sanguis meus vere est potus: qui mandúcat meam carnem et bibit meum sánguinem, in me manet et ego in eo. Alleluia. Sequentia Thomæ de Aquino. infra octavam ad libitum Celebrantis omitti potest, iuxta Rubricas. Lauda, Sion, Salvatórem, lauda ducem et pastórem in hymnis et cánticis. Quantum potes, tantum aude: quia maior omni laude, nec laudáre súfficis. Laudis thema speciális, panis vivus et vitális hódie propónitur. Quem in sacræ mensa cenæ turbæ fratrum duodénæ datum non ambígitur. Sit laus plena, sit sonóra, sit iucúnda, sit decóra mentis iubilátio. Dies enim sollémnis agitur, in qua mensæ prima recólitur huius institútio. In hac mensa novi Regis, novum Pascha novæ legis Phase vetus términat. Vetustátem nóvitas, umbram fugat véritas, noctem lux elíminat. Quod in cœna Christus gessit, faciéndum hoc expréssit in sui memóriam. Docti sacris institútis, panem, vinum in salútis consecrámus hóstiam. Dogma datur Christiánis, quod in carnem transit panis et vinum in sánguinem. Quod non capis, quod non vides, animosa fírmat fides, præter rerum órdinem. Sub divérsis speciébus, signis tantum, et non rebus, latent res exímiæ. Caro cibus, sanguis potus: manet tamen Christus totus sub utráque spécie. A suménte non concísus, non confráctus, non divísus: ínteger accípitur. Sumit unus, sumunt mille: quantum isti, tantum ille: nec sumptus consúmitur. Sumunt boni, sumunt mali sorte tamen inæquáli, vitæ vel intéritus. Mors est malis, vita bonis: vide, paris sumptiónis quam sit dispar éxitus. Fracto demum sacraménto, ne vacílles, sed meménto, tantum esse sub fragménto, quantum toto tégitur. Nulla rei fit scissúra: signi tantum fit fractúra: qua nec status nec statúra signáti minúitur. Ecce panis Angelórum, factus cibus viatórum: vere panis filiórum, non mitténdus cánibus. In figúris præsignátur, cum Isaac immolátur: agnus paschæ deputátur: datur manna pátribus. Bone pastor, panis vere, Iesu, nostri miserére: tu nos pasce, nos tuére: tu nos bona fac vidére in terra vivéntium. Tu, qui cuncta scis et vales: qui nos pascis hic mortáles: tuos ibi commensáles, coherédes et sodáles fac sanctórum cívium. Amen. Allelúia.	11 Gradual Ps. 144:15-16. The eyes of all look hopefully to You, O Lord; and You give them their food in due season. V. You open Your hand; and satisfy the desire of every living thing. Alleluia, alleluia. John 6:56-57 V. My Flesh is food indeed, and My Blood is drink indeed. He who eats My Flesh, and drinks My Blood, abides in Me and I in him. Sequentia O Sion, thy Redeemer praising, Songs of joy to Him upraising, Laud thy Pastor and thy Guide: Swell thy notes most high and daring; For His praise is past declaring, And thy loftiest powers beside. ‘Tis a theme with praise that gloweth, For the bread that life bestoweth Goes this day before us out; Which, His holy supper taking, To the brethren twelve His breaking None hath ever called in doubt. Full, then, be our praise and sounding, Modest and with joy abounding Be our mind’s triumphant state; For the festal’s prosecution, When the first blest institution Of this feast we celebrate. In the new King’s new libation, In the new law’s new oblation, Ends the ancient Paschal rite; Ancient forms new substance chaseth, Typic shadows truth displaceth, Day dispels the gloom of night. When He did at supper seated, Christ enjoined to be repeated, When His love we celebrate: Thus obeying His dictation, Blood and wine of our salvation, We the victim consecrate. ‘Tis for Christian faith asserted, Bread is into flesh converted, Into blood the holy wine: Sight and intellect transcending, Nature’s laws to marvel bending, ‘Tis confirmed by faith divine. Under either kind remaining, Form, not substance, still retaining, Wondrous things our spirit sees: Flesh and blood thy palate staining, Yet still Christ entire remaining, Under either species. All untorn for eating given, Undivided and unriven, Whole He’s taken and unrent; Be there one, or crowds surrounding, He is equally abounding, Nor, though eaten, ever spent. Both to good and bad ‘tis broken, But on each a different token or of life, or death attends: Life to good, to bad damnation; Lo, of one same manducation How dissimilar the ends. When the priest the victim breaketh, See thy faith in no wise shaketh, Know that every fragment taketh All that ‘neath the whole there lies: This in Him no fracture maketh, ‘Tis the figure only breaketh, Form, or state, no change there taketh Place in what it signifies. Bread, that angels eat in heaven, Now becomes the pilgrim’s leaven, Bread in truth to children given, That must ne’er to dogs be thrown. He, in ancient types disguised, Was the Isaac sacrificed, For the feast a lamb devised, Manna to the Fathers shown. Bread, whose shepherd-care doth tend us, Jesu Christ, Thy mercy send us, Do Thou feed us, Thou defend us, Lead us where true joys attend us, In the land where life is given: Thou all ken and might possessing, Mercies aye to us largessing, Make us share Thy cup of blessing, Heritage and love’s caressing With the denizens of heaven. Amen. Alleluia.

Sicut misit me vivens Pater, et ego vivo propter Patrem: et qui mandúcat me, et ipse vivet propter me. Hic est panis, qui de cœlo descéndit. Non sicut manducavérunt patres vestri manna, et mórtui sunt. Qui mandúcat hunc panem, vivet in ætérnum. R. Laus tibi, Christe. S. Per Evangélica dicta, deleántur nostra delícta.	12 Gospel Cleanse my heart and my lips, O almighty God, who didst cleanse the lips of the prophet Isaias with a burning coal, and vouchsafe, through Thy gracious mercy, so to purify me, that I may worthily announce Thy holy Gospel. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. Give me Thy blessing, O Lord. The Lord be in my heart and on my lips, that I may worthily and in a becoming manner, proclaim His holy Gospel. Amen. P. The Lord be with you. S. And with thy spirit. Continuation ✠ of the Holy Gospel according to John R. Glory be to Thee, O Lord. John 6:56-59. At that time, Jesus said to the crowds of the Jews: My Flesh is food indeed, and My Blood is drink indeed. He who eats My Flesh, and drinks My Blood, abides in Me and I in him. As the living Father has sent Me, and as I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also shall live because of Me. This is the Bread that has come down from heaven; not as your fathers ate the manna, and died. He who eats this Bread shall live forever. R. Praise be to Thee, O Christ. S. By the words of the Gospel may our sins be blotted out.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God. And born of the Father, before all ages. God of God: Light of Light: true God of true God. Begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father, by whom all things were made. Who, for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven. And became incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary: and was made man. He was crucified also for us, suffered under Pontius Pilate, and was buried. And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of the Father. And He shall come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead, of whose kingdom there shall be no end. And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life, proceeding from the Father and the Son. Who together, with the Father and the Son, is adored and glorified: Who spoke by the prophets.

All things were made by Him, and without Him was made nothing that was made: in Him was life, and the life was the Light of men; and the Light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to testify concerning the Light, that all might believe through Him. He was not the Light, but he was to testify concerning the Light. That was the true Light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him to them He gave power to become sons of God, to them that believe in His Name, who are born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Here all kneel. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us: and we saw His glory, the glory as of the Only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
