Leader of voting - the theme of "Motherland, drives the Statue of Liberty" as a symbol of rejection of liberal values

January 31, 2013 summarized the results of the third stage vote in the competition Art concepts of "national idea of ​​Russia." Leader of voting - the theme of "Motherland, drives the Statue of Liberty" as a symbol of rejection of liberal values. This, according to the author, Anton Nidzelnitskogo (St. Petersburg), should become a national idea of ​​the country.

Russia "wake up, came out of hibernation," and became independent. But our people, says the author, still betray, stipulate and humiliated in American films, without revealing the true essence. Now is the time "to get up off his knees and show everyone who we are».

This idea has the highest rank on the results of the two polls. "The Statue of Liberty has long ago turned into a witch-podzhigatelnitsu carrying grief million people (see Iraq, Libya, etc.). It is time to cut off her leg, as the robber in the 17th century ... It was then edged weapons from Volgograd and useful "- says Sergey Parkhomenko, a member of vote group on Facebook .

significant number of votes received and other images - for example, "The Mausoleum with temple dome" (Elena Plotnikova, Moscow). Despite the turbulent history of the country, where an understanding of the true continuous transition from one extreme to another, the brutal atheism, Russians should abandon the old characters and come to God and faith in the Almighty. But many participants vote disagreed with this understanding of the national idea. "You offer a lifetime hramovzolee repent? What we aspire to this symbol, something to strive for our children? their children? repent? queue at hramovzoley? "- asks one of the participants in the art concepts group contest Facebook .

It is such a wide range of views and opinions, according to organizers, and fun competition. "The issue of whether to have a national idea, makes no sense. Just say, then, that who speaks of it, it seems to be necessary. They're not under the threat of the death penalty forced to speak "- says Leonid Radzikhovsky, a member of the Moscow Writers, journalist, columnist in" Rossiyskaya Gazeta ».

In the third phase of the short list add four art concepts that will qualify for the Grand Prix:

• Statue of Motherland Statue of Liberty runs from Russia (the rejection of liberal values);
• Mausoleum with temple dome;
• shimmering stone in the form of eggs (symbolizing rebirth);
• Gyro (or huge spinning top).

«All ideas are very different, of course, we do not agree with many things - but these opinions and images are from the Russians, but they are also different," - says Denis Saunin, member of the creative team CF Art Group (the organizer of the competition).

February 1, 2013 started fourth and final stage of voting. The site
