Summary
Nikolai Rastorguev sings dashingly, singing the delights of the “self-propelled one” [3] . The song conveys the feelings and experiences of an ordinary soldier on a clear sunny day. He was commissioned to dig a trench , which he does, simultaneously reflecting on the virtues of the "citizen." Kapitanov's wife also does not leave his thoughts - after all, he is absolutely apolitical, he is interested only in the opposite sex (“ Those for Stalin, for Yeltsin (at concerts - Putin), I am for all Russian women ”). Nothing remains but to give free rein to your feelings - to polish your boots to shine and break into “ AWOL ” ...
Presenting punishable acts in a positive light
Criticized the songs made in the media. So, for example, journalist Maria Kireeva notes that every recruit, and not only him, knows that the unauthorized abandonment of a military unit or duty station is a military crime. Despite this, the number of cases when conscripts leave the unit’s location does not decrease. Very often, AWOL, or how else it is called this act - “self-propelled”, presented to others in the aura of frivolous romanticism and heroism . And the famous song of the group “Lyube” “AWOL” in this context is very particularly significant. In a military gymnast Nikolai Rastorguev sings emotionally that “the sun plays on his boots, the cigarette“ Flight ”. And behind the fence “scram” a head is spinning and waiting ... ”. Meanwhile, for some military personnel, the absenteeism ends very sadly. According to Kireyeva, she regrets that many of her favorite singer in her songs do not talk about the consequences of the “free-wheeling” ... [2]
Psychoanalysis
Doctor of Historical Sciences , anthropologist Konstantin Bannikov is convinced that the song “AWOL” is an arrangement of army folklore on a large stage. The group “Lube”, which made a variety career on the exploitation of the military-masculine complex, sings a song in which the brave soldier carnal loves the “captain's wife”. A real soldier in a formalized environment behaves like a mythological trickster , which enlivens the lifeless mechanical landscape of the charter , that is, makes the charter with its celibacy quite acceptable for life. This unconscious trickster complex, which basically goes back to the archetypes , the collective unconscious (as evidenced by the prevalence of analogies in the world myth-ritual systems), is transformed into a behavioral stereotype, which is supposed to follow all "real warriors" - "grandfathers" and "scoops" [ 4] .
