The Story about a medal "for Bureya" and about a creative struggle
Consideration of "The Bureya theme" allows to glance slightly in "kitchen of media".
February 15, 2019 was published an article by Sergei Ishchenko "The victory in the "Battle on the Bureya" Shoygu noted with a special medal" [https://svpressa.ru/war21/article/224674/?rss=1]
I have neither time nor desire to analyze all this article.
Then, on February 15, 2019, I spoke: "in General, it is clear that the article was written by a person with abilities and knowledge."
As it seemed to me, S. Ishchenko didn't state no specific criticism of the medal "The Participant of Liquidation of Consequences of Emergency Situation on the Bureya River". It all came down to irony over some individual verbal expressions.
Naturally, all this irony disappears at acquaintance with a problem and with scales of made.
As for the "Bureya problem", like many people, contemporaries of this, "Bureya", problem are in the field, in the space of successful, in General, the resolution of an extremely dangerous situation.
For analogy, I will point to the Chernobyl accident in 1986. If there were energetic and prudent people who were able to prevent or to stop the development of the Chernobyl accident at the initial stages, today such prudent and timely actions would be taken for granted, something habitual, self-evident ......
Accordingly, the solution to the "Bureya problem" seems to some people as something not particularly significant, natural, self-evident...
In fact, the solution to the Bureya problem was:
1. The unique engineering and intellectual project.
2. The unique military operation (at all stages: design and planning, logistics, practical, and others).
3. The military feat (engineers, sappers and other soldiers do not always shoot from Kalashnikov's automatic rifles and other weapons, protecting the Homeland).
As it seemed to me (perhaps this is an illusion), dear S. Ishchenko changed his attitude to the medal "The Participant of Liquidation of Consequences of Emergency Situation on the Bureya River" after acquaintance with actions according to the solution of "The Bureya problem" (however, I will not insist on correctness of this impression).
Anyway, the named article by S. Ishchenko left the impression of a real (though partially controversial) journalist work by the author. The author, who is knowledgeable on many issues (but perhaps not in "The Bureya problem") .
What did I see on March 7, 2019?
A certain Alexander Stepanov published an article "Flip side of medal" (04.03.2019 09:03) [https://versia.ru/gosudarstvennye-nagrady-teryayutsya-na-fone-vedomstvennyx-znachkov].
If someone says that some journalist wanted to go to a nearby restaurant to eat, and at the same time invite for the company his boss, I will treat this idea with distrust. A journalist can eat in a cafe, not necessarily in a restaurant. And why it is necessary to invite a chief?
But if someone will insist, argue, that for joint a hike in the restaurant need any money, then with this assertion can be partly to agree - without special on the causes in restaurant for free not fed.
But if someone will argue that the journalist to obtain the funds to pay a joint visit to the restaurant took an article of another journalist, creative it reworked, then published and received payment sufficient for the joint with the head visiting of the restaurant, then this is something to think about.
For example, at your disposal is an article by S. Ishchenko "The victory in the "Battle on the Bureya" Shoygu noted with a special medal". And you are to some extent specialize in "army theme". An information come about any intentions to do for owners of any (military) awards discounts during purchases of goods in some shops.
What to write about? Information occasion is small ...
Some later you find information about the award, which "is made of gold 750-th sample, has the shape of a circle with a diameter of 33 mm, weighs 55-60 grams, inlaid with precious stones - rubies, sapphires and diamonds."
The article with the mention of rubies, sapphires and diamonds will attract attention! These are not a boring discounts!
I will not insist on precision in the description of the "creative process"... "discounts when you purchase" + article about the "special medal" for a Bureya + "rubies and gold" = a sum of money sufficient for a joint lunch in the restaurant....
At the same time I decided to understand in more detail: and who are the authors of articles (Sergey Ishchenko and Alexander Stepanov).
There are no problems with Sergey Ishchenko - there is a separate biographical article. Ishchenko really specializes in army subject. 668 articles?!.. A school of regular, daily entries in the ship's log?
About Alexander Stepanov...... Looking... A hockey player, an archpriest ... Yes! Writer! Alexander Nikolaevich Stepanov (1892 - 1965) - the Russian Soviet writer ...
In General, "The Bureya theme" does not leave indifferent ... And the medal "The Participant of Liquidation of Consequences of Emergency Situation on the Bureya River" does not leave people indifferent ...
But a photo of a medal did not manage to be found ...
