A Particularly Useful Ability to Disguise One’s Own Shortcomings.

Once upon a time, in 1976, Leonid Sokolov planed wooden glasses. He called his work: "A project of glasses for every Soviet citizen". The Soviet Union disappeared, the need to control the field of view of others remained. Unfortunately, there have also been technologies that allow very similar glasses with a narrow field of observation to be produced on a mass scale. You can get them for free today (for free, from hand). Let's use: designer glasses for a good citizen.

We definitely do not intend to promote these metal - camouflage (recently heavily promoted by the Russian army for each soldier).

However, it is worth looking for traces of the need to tinker with glasses. It can clearly be found in the traces of the construction of the image of one empire in the area of another. The ability to perpetuate a clear vision of one's own power is both a part of biological deterrence and a cultural (political) ability to camouflage one's own shortcomings. And here the glasses often become irreplaceate. And today's information bubbles even love them...

In 1939, twenty years after the Great War, the World Exhibition opened in New York. The second highest point (after the central spire) was a Soviet man raising a red star high. The USSR Pavilion was one of the largest. It was crammed with models of designed and planned Soviet hydroelectric power plants, railways and air lines. The Russians built a second, separate "arctic pavilion". In front of him, they set up the Antonov AN-25 aircraft, which in 1937, led by Chkalov, flew over the Arctic from Moscow to Vancouver. In 1938, the Arctic curve at the North Pole was crushed by an icebreaker "Josef Stalin".

The myth of the "Russian-Soviet man" as the only one capable of surviving and conquering the nature of the North will be used today. It will probably be a much more ecological novel, but it will emphasize the unique role of Russians in effective care for the planet. Probably the builders of such a message will be interested in what they so clearly exhibited at the fair in 1939. You didn't even have to enter the pavilion. The inscription on the fuselage of the plane from afar informed that only faithfully sticking to the "Stalin's trail" guarantees victory. 

Today we know very well that the "Stalinist trail" regardless of where it is to lead certainly does not count with the opinion of the environment. He crushes and crushes everything around him. And this is worth remembering.
