Auditor

A certain auditor from Barska luka made public his spiritual insights, which he obviously considered so important that he did not have the soul to leave them in the corners of his own brain, but there was an above all noble need to share them all with others

Undoubtedly, the most famous auditor in the world is the one with signature Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol.

In the famous comedy, the greatest writer of the Russian language gave a true picture of Russia at that time, devastated by poverty, corruption, greed and, above all, stupidity and lack of education. The story of the auditor (who is not) is the perfect frame to show all that Gogol considered disastrous for Russian society, and which, as a truly great writer, he had no right not to see. Nor the right to remain silent.

One auditor (existing, not fictitious, unfortunately) these days showed a good part of the spiritual misery of another society, some one hundred and seventy years away and who knows how many thousands of kilometers from that of Russia and Gogol's.

A certain auditor from Barska luka made public his spiritual insights, which he obviously considered so important that he did not have the soul to leave them in the corners of his own brain, but there was an above all noble need to share them all with others. That is, first of all, with "Christ-loving brothers", whatever that means.

The auditor, among other things, announces that Islam is a "false religion".

I'd swear it's not the first time I've heard that. Maybe the first time from the auditor, but I would bet that the auditor "picked it up" from someone. Let's say from some church dignitary, or one of the domestic trained politicians and right-wing intellectuals, who, what would he say Mandic (but no A. nego B.), you recognize it by the leather jacket and the aorist...

When the metropolitan of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Montenegro, both past and present, said such things, any remark that it was hate speech would immediately be retaliated with an accusation of anti-Semitism. As is any criticism Đukanović in one part of the media it was "read" as a clear anti-Montenegrin act. This kind of hypocrisy created this auditor and numerous citizens who probably do not understand why they are being accused, when this or that church member or politician said the same thing. In such a denouement, only hatred remains constant. That hatred is tenacious because they don't let it rest with this kind of invocation...

In addition to the apparition of auditors, we also had the apparition of classical historical revisionism in recent days. The changes in street names in Nikšić are significant. For the most part, it is clear who and why the Partisan road is bothering, just as it is clear that Meša Selimović he was not chosen by the current Nikšić government because of his (great) literature, but because of his position on national identity.

In the case of "auditor" and "revisionism", the basis of the word is the same, although we are talking about completely different things.

But while these economic revisions rely on numbers, which should suggest a greater degree of rationality, historical revisionism rests on stories (myths), therefore, without any obligations towards rationality and reality. A step further, these are usually stories that have the ambition to bring a "real" and "truer" version of historical events.

Revisionism usually revives some ghosts. And that's the whole point of it. It is not difficult to understand why Partizanski put is "disappearing", but the real question is whether we should now expect new street names after every change of government? Maybe electoral lists should come out with their proposal for street name changes, since the rest of the stories don't really go their way? As we can see, it is easier to change the street names, than the unhappy reality and political mentality.

A society in which it is possible to change the meaning of history by the vote of councilors is an ideal scene for all kinds of revisionism. If in the same society you also have a permanent deficit of meaningful dabat, the matter becomes even worse.

Everything that is not discussed sooner or later grows into some new specter...
