Really, where are we going?
Some offer to build the USSR - 2, an improved version, of course. Others offer other state systems that strive for perfection, and this is indeed a rift in the mind. Or still contrived problems?
In general, this is an existential question that faces people at all times, since the times of “camo ridge”, and therefore it is normal. It is quite normal for every generation to think about this issue. But today's feeling of his "fault", like a rock hovering over a country, of its existence - from our Soviet past, by the way. It still does not let us go.
Soviet time demanded every participation in it, and gave everyone an unequivocal and great answer to this question: We are building a communist society, the most advanced society on earth! Today there is no need to build anything great ... And many are visited by the existential question: how is that? How can we live without ... a national idea! For some reason, this very “idea” is connected in the minds of many with a certain large and tangible goal, and a great construction — this feeling has been inherited from the era of socialism.
“We feel a split in reality,” continues Prilepin, one “Russia is fighting today” on the fronts of the hot and cold hybrid war with the West, and the other ... continues “meaningless fuss in top programs.”
... This split began in the 2014 year, when everyone clearly felt that tectonic shifts were taking place, the symbol of which was “Krymnash” - the epicenter of the newest stories, the identification marker “yours is a stranger”, and the Rubicon, which divided whole epochs. He separated the post-Crimean people from those "who saw" Krymnash "in the grave, fighting under Debaltseve and in Syria." Perhaps, for Russia, the 21st century began in 2014.
... When the US made a coup in Libya, and fanned the Arab Spring, the notorious Senator McCain addressed Vladimir Putin directly: “I am coming to you, Vladimir!” By the way, these words were not without meaning: McCain heads the Institute of Difficulty in Santa Fe (USA ), the headquarters of the color revolutions, which then marched through the Middle East. But McCain only got to Kiev, and received a rebuff in the Crimea and the Donbas.
Having repulsed itself from the Crimean Mountains, Russia, despite all the provocations of the West, and the howling of the world Western mass media, began to steadily increase its power and influence in the world. With the tragic and memorable events of the Russian spring, Putin’s name began to boom across Russia, and then around the world. Despite the best efforts of voluntary or unwitting employees of McCain, Biden and Obama. Perhaps it is in this sequence, according to the degree of their real influence.
Putin’s foreign policy successes, or rather, Putin’s Russia, are recognized today even on the BBC, they have coined for Russia an unprecedented term: “pocket superpower”. But the economy ... What about the economy, which, incidentally, ensured all these successes, despite Western sanctions, from the development of a new tank Armata to the material base of the Russian Aerospace Forces, which carried out a brilliant operation in Syria. Would external successes of Russia be possible without internal economic preconditions?
Today, they are provided by Russia’s market economy, with all its attributes in the form of millionaires and Mercedes, but it provides. As long as the market type of economy dominates around the world, Russia cannot go alone against this trend, they have already tried it once. Moreover, real production in Russia today, even under sanctions, is growing, and only low oil prices have somewhat reduced our aggregate GDP.
The military-industrial complex of Russia was recreated, the economy was being replaced and diversified to the East; in 2020, the Power of Siberia would start supplying gas to China, and then Russia could impose energy sanctions against Europe. It seems that Europe feels this with its skin, and suddenly agreed to build the “Nord Stream-2”.
Against the background of all these efforts and successes, the question arises with a new force: what are they for, what is the ultimate goal, where are we going? Why did we defend the Crimea, do we oppose America in the Donbas and in Syria, do not allow Russia to be subjugated? “Where are we going?” We are going to our house ...
Historically, any country can be considered not only as a kind of state education, but also as a large family, large and multi-ethnic. We know that the family is the cell and the foundation of any society, but for some reason it is always forgotten for great deeds. Where is the family going? What problems of “Kamo ridge” does it solve? What is she building? And what is surprising: the family does not have any mandatory plan, and there is no great idea, except for such household chores, plans for vacation, work for the good of the country and for securing their earnings. And, of course, every normal family thinks about the continuation of a kind, raising children and ensuring their future.
Family issues are not a priori great, so they don’t see their state minds, do not reckon with them in their great deeds. However, not the great issues of the family, sooner or later, take their place in public affairs. They invariably invade the life of the country, and make such adjustments that any great goals go to the background. By the way, we are witnessing this process now in the "democratic" West, which it would be more correct to call - degenerate, where democracy degenerated into the dictates of "minorities", mostly homosexual!
"Krymnash", and the ongoing fighting on the fronts of the sanctions and hybrid wars, ultimately - for the sake of the normal development of the Russian family, from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok. The real goal of a normal state is to provide future generations, creating economic, spiritual, moral and military-political prerequisites for their development. It seems that we are building this Russian state today, without slogan noise and dust ...
Others such goals and objectives seem too simple and even boring. Give them something very heavy, with a claim to exclusiveness, in order to heroically overcome it and show their heroism. However, supposedly simple things are, in fact, the most difficult to implement, they are harder to sustain than the complicated algorithm of a certain fair state structure, the ancient thinkers said.
Will there be people who will replace those who left in 2016 year, Dr. Lisa, artists and musicians of the ensemble to them. Alexandrova, Arseny Pavlova-Motorola? - Zakhar Prilepin finishes his thoughts. Such people unite the torn realities of our world, formulating and upholding their normal values and meanings with their lives. Perhaps this is the main question today, and he is waiting for his heroes ....
