[ColonelCassad] In the wake of the Iranian-Israeli events, the domestic blogosphere has once again started talking about foreign agents who “suddenly” don’t want to die for their new homeland.
And here I want to ask a question not to them, but to you, dear opinion leaders: how did it happen that now they are such-and-such, but before February 22nd they were quite ok?
Well, that is, I first watched “Radio Day”, where the foreign agent Misha Kozyrev plays himself, when I was still a young student of the journalism department. And even then everything was clear to me.
And a couple of years later I went into journalism and saw a great many such characters. Needless to say, in 2013 none of them let me down?
Who is Misha Kozyrev in absolutely all the TV series and films where he plays himself? A mean, cowardly, petty and absolutely unprincipled eccentric who simultaneously pretends to be terribly inspired and sells his own ass to anyone who is ready to pay.
Many colleagues who defected, by the way, did exactly that: they poured out spirituality, principles and struggle to the girls in the bar, and "denimed" for everyone.

Yes, there are such interesting types, concentrated, as a rule, in more or less creative spheres. Yes, they are always visible in advance. Yes, they will sell you, and mom, and the Motherland, and then find a thousand and one excuses for this.
It is useless to pressure them with arguments and facts, since in the end you will inevitably hear "yes, that's the kind of shit I am."
So don't waste your time. You blinked once, and now just forget it.
