No idea - no Russia, or are there options?
Let's face it, this makes some sense. It is necessary to compare, especially in the light of the fact that our welfare (I mean the main majority of the inhabitants of Russia, and not the chosen group) is steadily going down. Therefore, they even more often recall the times when life, perhaps, was not so rich, but stable.
Indeed, the one who remembers the old, the eye out, the one who forgets the old, the two out.
In our case, an entire empire, that is, the USSR, came out. We can talk a lot about the fact that all this is the work of external enemies that brought down the oil market and other nonsense. Why stupid things? Because in the world stories there were a lot of examples when countries fell regardless of oil prices, and vice versa, the most severe crisis did not “drop” countries that God himself ordered to fall and convulse. As an example, one Ukraine, if anything, is higher than the roof.
Well, tell me, here the United States dropped oil prices, overexerted the Soviet economy with an arms race, destroyed the Soviet ideology with complex things like "socialism with a human face." And with Cuba it was even worse, there was a total embargo, blockade, and there was no oil in Cuba, but ...
But for some reason, the Cubans, showing the middle finger to the north, survived, but the Soviet Union, where the entire population together pursued Western values, ordered a long life.
Of course, it is possible that fetishes in the form of American jeans, chewing gum and other things in Cuba were better known than in the USSR. Geography…
However, I meant that the point is in the sense. More precisely, in its absence. Lost meaning - lost the country. Gorbachev and Yeltsin, of course, did not reach the Castro brothers in anything.
I do not mean at all the nomenclature of the last Soviet years, as it was they who completely fit themselves into the market. And until now they are sitting head over heels in this market, and they feel so good.
But today in Russia, though slowly, awareness is taking place. The realization that with all this tinsel of numbers, charts, graphs, tables and other brains is becoming increasingly difficult to deceive. We live on opposite sides of the border, and the facts of recent years (especially those performed by those mentioned above) indicate that they have some kind of Russia of their own.
And in this Russia, of course, life is going on. For some, it’s their turn, and for someone it’s just past the consciousness, which already refuses to perceive what is happening around with a certain degree of adequacy.
It is clear that those who tank", Do not give a damn about what is said below. On the ground. All mockery of the program “Visiting a fairy tale”, as they say, past the cash register. Because the cash desk is reliable in the hands of those who take part in this program.
So life is on its own, and departmental reports for the president are on their own ... just like those who collect materials, draw up and put it on the table. Everything is logical.
Why is it logical, because it should be quite the opposite?
And from the lack of that very idea. I said above: there is no idea - there is no country.
Now, in theory, questions like “What should I do?” Should begin to be born in our heads, but this time we’ll take and back off the rules. Well, it's not that the rules, you just usually want readers to draw conclusions for themselves, and so on. But not at this time.
So, why is everything not going where we would like, why are we increasingly looking back at the Soviet past?
No idea. There is no longer any idea in Russia. Absolutely.
Many cleverest people spoke of the need for an Idea. Otto von Bismarck, Adolf Hitler, Charles de Gaulle, Donald Trump in the end.
The simple phrase “I have a clear idea for France” made a very controversial person and General de Gaulle the president. Trump had the phrase “Let's make America great again.” And she made him president.
I am generally silent about Hitler, this is a storehouse of quotes, which are somewhat inappropriate here. But in this case, the main thing is not quotes, but results. And to put Germany and Austria on the ears, and then Hitler succeeded in fooling the heads of all Europe.
But I will give one quote. Very topical.
“People tend to make sacrifices only when they can really expect success, and not when the aimlessness of these victims is obvious.” (Adolf Gitler)
Hint, if he is here, it is purely nominal. A man, no matter what individual representatives say, always needs a life-defining idea, which elementarily gives some progressive movement of life in general and man in particular.
Yes, today consumerism and gearmaking have a very strong influence on this phenomenon, but perhaps (I am sure many will agree with this) in Russia so far it is manifested to a lesser extent. Russian people especially need to see where and understand why they are going. Otherwise, life becomes not life, but existence.
Yes, that’s probably why we held out, unlike our European neighbors, pretty much longer in the struggle for identity.
I have repeatedly spoken about the fact that we need an ideology. Precisely because we are Russian, and we definitely need to understand those two points: where we are going and why.
Not to be a herd is the primordial and eternal essence of that same mysterious Russian soul that the West could not understand. And everything is very, very simple. We just don’t want to be a herd.
That is why this very, if not ideology, at least an idea is needed.
And not just an idea, but an Idea. The very one in the name of which the Russian Empire gathered for many years, then the Soviet Union grew and developed ... Now? Yes, of course, Crimea ... But Crimea doesn’t pull on the idea. So, a one-time action, nothing more. You don’t really go anywhere under the flag with the inscription “Krymnash”, but we are interested in exactly the way forward.
Build and multiply.
But to build and increase in the first place for themselves, their loved ones, and not for a handful of oligarchs and their minions from among politicians and lawmakers. Contemptuously spitting into the microphones and lenses of the cameras in the direction of the uncoiled plebe.
That is precisely why this (or I seriously hope that another) bunch of rulers is simply obliged to give the rest of the mass this idea / ideology. It is obliged, because without it, the number of distrust going to rallies will grow year by year, and in general this reaction can no longer be stopped with batons or blows to the stomach of twenty-year-old girls. The process has begun.
Yes, the process of distrust has begun, even if today it is not headed by the most pleasant representatives of the human race like L. N., but "there will be new victories, new fighters will stand up."
And the number of fools stupidly bashing with a pan head on the portrait of the Great and Infallible will still slowly but surely decrease.
Someone (not excluded) will grow wiser and see clearly, and someone our social reforms will slowly, but surely bring to the grave.
But sooner or later, the bulk of the people will come to understand that they need an idea. Need a goal. A humanoid will be quite simple feeders with warm boots. Well, or another handout from the rulers in the form of raising the minimum level of salary.
Why did I say that some other forces will develop the idea / ideology?
Everything is simple. Today, everything suits and so.
It is very noticeable that everything that is happening in the country today is shy away from a carbon copy, completely without any improvisations. Starting from the annual show of “answers to questions” and ending with any show on TV.
Perhaps the pension robbery did not fit into the general scenario, but here yes, they improvised from the heart. They simply recognized everyone that money had already been wasted and stolen, and that’s all. Normal jazz turned out.
But this is not to go far, is it?
Therefore, there is an opinion, and it is not only mine, that the next rulers and masters of the country will be those who can offer the Idea. Not this frank nonsense, designed for people who are near-by, from a flirted record about an evil world that wants to conquer us and take our resources from us. Resources have long belonged to yourself you know to whom, and it is simply impossible to take away already taken.
It is necessary to change the socio-economic model or, in modern terms, the development paradigm. Why? Because in that liberal paradigm that rules the modern world and is imposed on us, people are not needed. In the usual for us, quantity and quality.
We need a small caste of the elite — qualified managers and beneficiaries, these same ones from the “Russian Managers Association” and a herd that will plow for food for the benefit of managers.
People with a capital letter in this model are costs. "Social" is an encumbrance. Depopulation is what is profitable, which means it is economically feasible and effective. And in this, today's paradigm, I see only the desire for a gradual extinction.
Ah, how zealously today's "patriots" vote in every way about how our enemies from the USA seek to destroy us in many ways ...
It’s ridiculous already, but today you can find there just masterpieces. For example, they are trying to preserve US world hegemony by reducing the birth rate in the world by introducing into the mass consciousness ideas that deny the natural reproduction of the genus (LGBT, “child-free”, five or more sexes).
Charming, but why doesn't China and India stop it? It is possible that there can only be one answer to all these dances: clear state support for the reproductive system. Not? Okay, let's move on. Fortunately, you can still dig up a lot of interesting things, if you just rummage through modern domestic publications.
The destruction of the institution of the family, the scrapping of the system of basic moral principles, mass lack of culture, the degradation of the education system ...
Did I sound right? Is the United States to blame for all this? Well, I would like to see at least one document confirming this, where the American’s signature is.
No, all these papers, on the basis of which the system of school (and preschool, too) education was destroyed, the nightmare that is happening today in healthcare, the total mess in the Ministry of Culturelessness - everything was signed exclusively by citizens of the Russian Federation.
You can talk for a very long time about the treacherous hand of the West, but alas, the whole hand was signed by the Russian.
Yes, we very much hoped (many at least) that Putin would go to his last term without fear of anyone or anything, so there would be reshuffles in the government, there would be at least some movement forward and upward.
No, all the same barrel organ "Krymnash" and "If only not as in Ukraine." Not impressive, right?
But the main thing is not to rock the boat, right? And then the helmsman will be uncomfortable. And to listen to what is being broadcast on TV: not to act reflectively, not to try to react to the crisis, not to fuss, to be able to endure and wait in the wings, not to listen to strangers and not to play other people's games imposed ...
However, the games imposed by their own players are no better. Moreover, the result is exactly the same - the output is an obedient and easily manageable herd.
Whoever can offer a clear idea of the further development of Russia will be on horseback.
Moreover, this idea will have to combine only a few things: security (personal and state), the law and its implementation, the health of the nation, education and culture. Enough for the first time.
And all the extracted and sold resources will have to work on just that.
Nothing that Sechin, Miller and others lose 5 millions of salaries per month. What did their friend say there? "We must pay them, otherwise they will run away"? Yes, only a tablecloth is expensive, I wonder in which country in the world you can get such money on someone else’s? Only in Russia, definitely.
Money found. Yes, they do exist, they are simply completely insolent oligarchs, which, again according to Putin’s assurances, we don’t have (well, we have a lot of things in the country, and nothing, we live), they live too well. Too good.
No executions, no. No confiscations, indeed, we have not 37-th year. It’s just that everything needs to be put on the altar of the new Idea of the Russian World. Voluntarily.
I repeat, whoever can offer a clear picture will eventually stand at the helm of Russia. We need an idea that does not just unite the people against some ephemeral and invented enemy. The Russians, if they must unite, are not against, but for. For the welfare state, for their children born and those who have yet to be born, for the protection of life, freedom and health.
That is what Russia needs. That Russia, which is from the Russians.
To paraphrase the great dictator, I want to note that yes, I personally am ready to make sacrifices, tighten my belt and everything else that all dignitaries broadcast on TV, but really, when I am sure of success. not for the sake of another yacht / palace / crew of another Rotenberg.
Everything else is really just aimless victims and outright robbery.
Without any idea.
