USSR-2 Kurginyan and the main issue of the revolution
Controversy around the article "Sergey Kurginyan's brilliance and poverty" (23.12.18), which I am completely satisfied with, bypassed the main issue of the article - about power in the supposed USSR Kurginyan project-2. I remember, V.I. Lenin said that the main question of the revolution is the question of power, and the situation with the USSR-2 project is exactly the same.
Moreover, as far as I know, the phenomenon of the voluntary political death of the USSR has not bothered a serious reflection of our scientific Marxist-Leninist community. Until now, the main reasons are seen in the betrayal and reincarnation of individual party members, including the CPSU Central Committee and its Secretary General, MS Gorbachev. While the main question is: why are they reborn?
In general, the voluntary fall of the USSR is a fact for stories an unprecedented, for the first time, a great power, by its own will, with its power, left political life: before such powers had left the stage of history only after a military rout. Or revolutionary defeat, as the Russian Empire left. Although Kurginyan does not raise the issue of power in the USSR-2 project, in any case he doesn’t say anything about this in Kulikov’s program “Right to Know!” the fateful 1991 year.
We must pay tribute to Sergey Kurginyan: he, voluntarily or involuntarily, seriously pushed the study of this issue with his thesis about the "joining" pro-Western elite formed in the USSR in one way or another. In our opinion, the USSR began as a utopian project, the construction of a new Tower of Babel of the “kingdom of freedom” for all the peoples of the world, so it collapsed in a unique way, giving rise to the “entrance” pro-Western elite.
We forget today that initially the elite of the USSR was special: revolutionary, international and pro-Western, since Marxism is a Western teaching. Only Stalin stands apart in this elite, he tried to reformat it in the course of politically anti-Trotskyist, in fact, anti-communist repression of the 30s, even introduced shoulder straps and officer ranks in the army. “I am of Russian Georgian origin,” Stalin once said after the victorious end of the Great Patriotic War. Unthinkable to the communist leaders of the time, a statement that always began with the international one: “I am a communist ...”
All the industrial achievements of the USSR are connected with the time of Stalin and his inertia, up to the nuclear project and the space program. But after the death of Stalin, the communist world utopia in the person of General Secretary NS. Khrushchev returned, and the USSR entered a period of stagnation and stagnation. By the way, Stalin's vilification of ideological opponents is connected, mainly, with his retreat from the foundations of Marxism-Leninism, which allegedly therefore resulted in political repression. This phenomenon of “devouring our children by the revolution” fully explains the Bertalanffy-Prigogine-Gumilev law, which we will sometime understand.
By 1991, the utopian form of the USSR had outlived itself, naturally giving rise, according to Kurginyan, to the “entry-in” pro-Western elite. Today, similar utopian processes of disintegration have struck the Western "world democracy", today it is "proud of its social system," as was once the USSR. The idea of convergence of these “two systems” in the middle of the last century was not born from scratch, these two boots were one pair at one time, so the supposedly “antagonistic” utopias intuitively wanted to unite. Therefore, the USSR gave birth to the “entry-in” elite, and MS Gorbachev made the first one-sided step in the "universal human values"! And leftist intellectuals of the West still regret that the West deceived the USSR!
Stephen Cohen, a professor of history at New York and Princeton Universities, spoke about “rashage”: “We paid a terrible price. How about discrediting our institutions, presidency, elections? A crisis in the near future will surely come. ” Cohen sees this crisis in relations with Russia, although the “rashagate” has struck at American institutions of power.
American elites are divided: “Russian interference in the American elections is being investigated because Trump’s enemies are fundamentally opposed to cooperation with Moscow. Despite the fact that the prosecution has no evidence, Trump is bound hand and foot, the summit in Helsinki Trump - Putin is declared “treason”. It seems that Cohen simply does not want to say that the crisis can actually cover the United States, and not at all external relations with Russia, which are already minimized.
Trump's advent to American power exposed its inner core — the “deep state” that was previously attributed to conspiratorial inflamed imagination. It turns out that it really exists, and is capable of tying the president of the United States hand and foot. The essence of the “deep state” is an ordinary dictatorship, it dictates its will to the president of the United States at will. Dictatorship of who and what? Not the people or some "values", but part of the state elite, a conglomerate of financiers, business and special services. In general, there is no discovery in this, the theory of the elite economist and sociologist Wilfredo Pareto (1848-1923) said this long ago, but it is considered obsolete and is not recognized, as well as conspiracy therapists. Trump and his friends are an essential part of the American elite, this is the crisis of "American democracy."
Any power, in essence, is the dictatorship of a certain “deep state”, the apparatus of “legitimate violence”, it lies at the basis of any democracy, republic and enlightened monarchy, which are nothing more than the coming forms of this dictatorship. This was understood by Karl Marx, therefore he concluded that the “dictatorship of the proletariat” was necessary for the new communist society.
Kurginyan in his project USSR-2 comes close to this topic when he talks about our “entry elite” that this bad elite must go. And what will come for her replacement? The transformation of Putin's Russia in the USSR-2, which Kurginyan hints at, can be an event similar to the fall of the USSR, with all the ensuing consequences: either the creation of a certain USSR-2, or the collapse of Russia, which the West and especially the Bandera regime.
Our TV host Dmitry Nekrasov recently repeated the liberal credo in “60 minutes”: while Putin is in power, it will not work out with the West. He repeated the backs of Western propaganda: she dreams about it so much, she prophesies. Yes, many “humanists” dream of destroying Putin's Russia. In 1991, they decided that Russia and the USSR had finally collapsed, so today in the West such a heavy hangover is “rashageyt”. However, after the 1991 experience, the new collapse of Russia is in no way possible in the foreseeable future.
It is noteworthy that Vladimir Putin recently admitted that he first refused the offer of President Yeltsin to head the government, with a clear prospect of his presidency. Why?
Perhaps Vladimir Putin is a representative of our “deep state”, who managed to separate from the “entry-in” elite as early as the end of 90, which was fully established in the zero years, and began to play an independent game with Putin’s landmark Munich speech in 2007, . Our “deep state” refused to submit to the dictatorship of the “world order” of the West, in which Russia was prepared for the role of a disenfranchised colony, as Zbigniew Brzezinski frankly wrote about. We tell him for that thanks.
In the 2014 year, when the situation in the world after the American coup in Kiev was particularly tense, many commentators were puzzled: why is Putin so free to fly around the world, is not afraid of anything? After all, true humanists do not cost anything to blow up the next “dictator”! If all power is tied to Putin, you can’t risk it! Even today, Vladimir Putin moves around the world easily, even at weddings in Austria spontaneously peeks. This means that all Russian power on Putin is not at all tied, they understand this in the West and do not try to encroach on the Russian president.
Yes, Russia is ruled, as in America, by its “in-depth state,” Vladimir Putin is his bright authoritative representative, a good speaker, so why should we change his “in-depth state”? From the good of good not looking, as they say. Therefore, the departure sooner or later of Vladimir Putin from the presidency will not change anything. This can be guessed by Sergey Kurginyan, who, we note, has become today actually a Kremlin political scientist: he often appears in the program of Vladimir Solovyov.
When commentators on forums are nostalgic for the USSR-2, this is understandable, when political scientist Kurginyan comes out with this project, it is not entirely clear, because it is fundamentally impossible to build a new USSR, serious analysts do not even discuss it. The advancement of the USSR-2 project by Kurginyan brings us to the issue of power, it follows from this scenario as the main one, and Kurginyan stops here. Perhaps our “deep state” is preparing to change the form of power, to transition from “soft” democracy to some other, perhaps more “rigid” democracy with Putin at the head. Then Kurginyan prepares a reason for such a transformation if he is part of the “Kremlin elite,” or is used in the dark.
Perhaps this transformation will be called, informally, in a journalistic sense, even by the USSR-2, Western ideologists and Madame US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton unequivocally accuse Russia of trying to revive the USSR! Many of our commentators are embarrassed in this regard by our millionaires and the liberal economy. At the same time, they are absolutely not confused by millionaires and the liberal economy in communist red China! Should USSR-2 differ from USSR-1?
Moreover, as far as I know, the phenomenon of the voluntary political death of the USSR has not bothered a serious reflection of our scientific Marxist-Leninist community. Until now, the main reasons are seen in the betrayal and reincarnation of individual party members, including the CPSU Central Committee and its Secretary General, MS Gorbachev.
