The phenomenon of the Russian people
It is enough just to look at the map of Russia, not to mention the map of the USSR and compare it with the size of its neighbors, in order to immediately understand which people on Earth are the most courageous and steadfast. The Russian people tried for strength the most varied conquerors with an unusually stable result - a crushing military defeat and the shameful flight of the next hapless conqueror. We call “Otechestvennye” only 2 relatively recent wars - against the last two failed “conquerors of the world”, with which the Russian people turned off the neck - Napoleon and Hitler. In fact, almost any major war in the Russian Land became Patriotic - a war for the right to be yourself in your own land. What is the Patriotic War of the Russian people were tested on themselves by many of Russia's neighbors who desired the Russian Land - Poles and Tatars, Swedes and Germans, Hungarians and Turks ... Often it ended up with their own land becoming Russian. Only once in a global war on its territory did our people suffer a defeat, the Russian principalities recognized vassal dependence, although they were not occupied.
Only the greatest warriors of human history - the Tatar-Mongols, warriors, who had not known defeat for hundreds of years, were able to inflict a crushing but far from final defeat. They, the only one in human history, managed to conquer not only 70% of humanity, to occupy the largest states of the Earth, but also to subjugate the two most rebellious peoples of the planet - Russians and Afghans-Pashtuns, which neither conquerors have ever managed to do. By the way, the Russians did take revenge and still live on their land, and where is the Golden Horde now, who, apart from historians, remembers it? Who remembers the Ottoman Empire, before which all the sovereigns of Europe trembled? In an unkind hour for herself, she ran into a narrow path with the Russian Empire. Who remembers now about the powerful state of the Khazars, before whom the peoples of Europe and Asia trembled? The words "Great Sweden" are now causing a smile. However, the neighbors of this Great Sweden were no laughing matter - she seriously claimed world domination. Until she managed to run into Russia.
Maybe the ancestors were completely different, and our generations have degraded so much that there is nothing to talk about, we don’t have them and we don’t have any relation to them, that is, we are different, not the people like modern Italians are not Romans ? However, even a quick look at our recent history shows that this is far from the case.
In recent human history, there was an amazing country - the USSR. Its very creation and short history were accompanied by such incredible feats in the history of Mankind that many of them are still not fully understood because of their truly titanic scale, just as it is difficult to survey the huge cathedral, facing it closely. It is also striking that military and labor feats were commonplace, almost everyday. “The mass heroism of the Soviet People” is a real reality and our recent past, and not at all an invention of “damned Bolshevik propaganda.”
It was not for nothing that the author began his publications by discarding the vile lies about the so-called “mass repressions” and the genocide of the Russian people, due to which socialism was supposedly built with all its successes. This lie was created purposefully and with all its forces hammered into the consciousness of the Russian people by the enemies and their governors in order to take away our will, to form in our souls the consciousness of the dying, clearing our pockets in passing. The history of “repression” and “genocides” was written by rezuny from history - shaped swindlers or hired scoundrels and does not stand up to scrutiny both from the point of view of logic and analysis, and from the point of view of the reliability of historical documents. Suffice it to say that there is not a single document at all confirming this lie. Everything is based only on the suggestion of the media, fake and fraudulent fraud in combination with the endless repetition of hypnotizing spells. And the truth that interests us is that there was no mass death of the population capable of undermining the people’s gene pool. There was no deadly strain, no horror, and there was an unprecedented economic and spiritual take-off in the history of mankind. In addition, brilliant feats were accomplished after the War, in which about 10% of the population died - the post-war reconstruction of the country, space, nuclear missile weapon, creating the world's best science, weapons, aviation, education and so on. And all this in no way at the expense of "countless victims", not at the expense of the resources of the "third world" and the robbery of other peoples, as in the countries of the "Golden Billion", but only thanks to a special social organization created by the power of the Russian Spirit.
Scientists say that the number of capable and talented people in the generations is approximately constant and obeys the statistical laws of random distribution - a genius can be born with the same probability in the family of a shoemaker or in a professor's family. From here, by the way, grow the roots of the legend of the extraordinary talent of the “common people” compared to the “top” - just peasants and shoemakers are much more than professors and academicians - the usual law of “big numbers” works. The allegations that the war could have undermined the gene pool of the people are completely groundless, and now we are not the same as before. The Russian people experienced and much more terrible blows. The Russian Land couldn’t become scanty with talents and brave men as a result of the War - they simply couldn’t have been born new.
For many years, Soviet propaganda was built on the exaltation of the Russian people, demonstrating an exceptionally bright side of the Russian people and its colossal successes. So it was easier for the authorities, such was the general level of the people. The same played a bad joke when we were faced with another facet of life, for which we were not even ready - we were unaware of its existence. By the way, in the second half of the 19 century, a Russian bar barred from idleness, who saw the “people” from the aristocratic carriage, came up with a tale about the immaculate “God-bearing people”. It was they who made the classics of Russian literature. They were enthusiastically listened to and carried the idea further to the mentally unbalanced townspeople-populists, "the pale young men with burning eyes." The pale youths “going to the people” ended sadly - “the people did not understand them,” the young men were terribly offended and disappointed in life. In fact, they did not understand their people.
The expression “people - cattle” has now come into vogue. It seems that since the time of the populists little has changed. In this case, there was an understanding of the "people" as a parent. In fact, this childish perception of a morally undeveloped child - parents seem powerful and infallible, but it’s worth the child to understand that parents are not gods, as scions remember all devils and are terribly disappointed in people. Life is real, parents are completely imperfect, and their actions are very ugly. To grow up, it is necessary to understand.
Russian people can be not only in a state of hero. It may well be in another stable state - sleepy-weak-willed or aggressively-selfish "cattle." Cattle is one who has forgotten about his Debt and Purpose. So earlier nobles called commoners for their inability, as in animals, to control their emotional outbursts. Cattle is an inability to control one’s emotions, not a social position. In a state of cattle, there can be absolutely not necessarily a commoner - there can be anyone, even an academician, although a millionaire is a “new Russian”, even though the Grand Duke himself. How to name the state of the Soviet People in the period of “Perestroika” and the destruction of the country, the state of intellectuals, scientists, workers, party leaders? This very word.
The king met with the “golden soul of the God-bearing people” in 1916, when he had to introduce a surplus to avoid starvation and mass death of the population. The peasants did not want to sell bread to the townspeople, even for the tsarist rubles secured with gold, they had to apply “non-economic measures of stimulation” - soldiers and Cossacks. Many researchers pay attention to the fact that the Russian peasant often showed extreme selfishness when he increased the price of bread — he hid bread and cut down crops. What for?! What do you mean why? Grain prices will rise and the peasants will profit. And what is the price of this - the peasant does not care. I am not sure that the British or German peasants would have done this with their not so sublime soul as that of the “God-bearing” people.
Put yourself in the chair of the Council of People's Commissars or the Russian Tsar, what would you do? Would you look like dying from hunger and cold of the city? The Bolsheviks did the only right thing - you can only talk in the language of force with a person in the state of cattle. If it were not for the nameless heroes of the red deserts, the townspeople would have died of starvation, which would mean the death of Russia.
The tendency of the Russian people to apathetic and hysterical states, in which they fall into extreme egoism, was noticed in ancient times and also in ancient times was found the defense of society against such states.
In principle, the need for self-control at least in the managerial stratum of society was realized in ancient times and that is why the nobles of all the peoples of the world practiced hard self-discipline, which was expressed in a sense of duty, endurance, contempt for death, incessant and dangerous exercises with arms that temper the will. It is not surprising that behind such a “father-commander” commoner soldiers went into the fire and into the water. Usually, it is the commanders-passionaries who brought people into a heroic state of mind. When self-discipline declined, the nobility rapidly degenerated, and who would listen and respect the unworthy commander? Then the state struck a managerial crisis (“when the tops cannot”) and the empire became face to face with the revolution and even the death of the state.
The peculiarity of the Russian people is that in the event of the death or degradation of the nobility, which is not uncommon in our history, folk heroes assumed its functions. In the Time of Troubles, these were merchants and peasants, while in the Civil period they were commissars-raznochintsy. It was they who “ignited” the people with their heroic energy and then the hero people saved themselves and the country.
Civilian is remarkable in that it has demonstrated not only moral decay and despair, but also the subsequent violent and inflexible power of the Russian people in the fight against the White Guard armies armored by the “entire civilized world” supported by the 19 expeditionary forces (depending on the method used to count invaders) from 14 to more than 20) countries. Then, in 1918, Western newspapers wrote:
“There are no chances for the Soviet Power to hold out for more than a month, the Red Army units are blocked, the strategic initiative is firmly in the hands of the allies, Yudenich's troops are attacking Petrograd, Denikin’s army is preparing to storm Tula”.
“From all sides of the blockade, the ring and guns look in the face. And we stand naked, we stand beggars, with Lenin in the head and with a crochet in his hand. ”
There is no doubt that for the Red Army peasants Lenin was no more than a distant image, a kind of flag. They defended the Truth and the Russian Land, and did not stand up for the formula "commodity-money-commodity." Just as the soldiers are fighting for the Motherland, and not for the Banner of the Part. Very soon, the army of the invaders was hastily evacuated from Soviet Russia, and the White Army awaited difficult and shameful times. This could happen only in one case, if the people went over to the Reds and at least part of them fought with exceptional heroism and ingenuity, entering the “state of the hero.” Cattle? God forbid to meet with such a "cattle" in battle!
Approximately 10 years later, another very significant story takes place - collectivization. The peasants were ordered to create common households. We will not discuss now why such a decision was made - it was just absolutely necessary to carry out Industrialization, without which - death. In the overwhelming majority of cases, the cattle were not taken away by the “Jews-commissars”, but it was transferred to the collective farm along with the inventory, to put it simply, the goods were put in a nearby shed. That’s the “God-bearing” soul could not bear. Mass hysteria began.
Transfer to the farm - it is not at all what confiscation, when taken away is not clear where and forever. Something happened that goes beyond the understanding of a mentally sane person - the mass slaughter of livestock.
“I will kill a dairy cow, but neighbors' children will not drink my milk!” It is clear that if a cow was driven away by enemies, then no - they didn’t want their villagers to use it. So much for the collectivism of the Russian people in combination with the “golden soul” and the Christian love of neighbor! A very significant fact as a Russian in a state of "cattle" refers to his neighbors, compatriots. Isn't it true, after realizing this, it is not surprising when they say that Russian will not help Russian. Outrageous ambitions and the extreme egoism of the Russian people are pushing him into absurd in their meanness and inhuman actions.
They say the truth is that Stalin, deciding on collectivization, did not know the Russian people. Indeed, the behavior of not such a small part of the people is beyond understanding by a reasonable person. Began mass extermination of livestock - horses and oxen. For any normal peasant, killing a horse and stealing is one of the most serious crimes and what is more than understandable is a direct threat to the life of the whole family. But the situation had all the signs of mass psychosis, when the arguments of reason are powerless before the mud that has risen from the depths of the soul and swept it completely. It came to peasant strikes, it is simply unthinkable, but it is true - the peasants refused to sow bread. The following year, it was precisely in these areas that the famine passed. By the way, the causes and process of hunger were significantly more complex, but the indicated factor of the “state of the cattle” and mass psychosis played a crucial role.
The gentleness and indecisiveness shown by the leadership of the USSR and Stalin personally towards the population of a number of districts that had lost its human appearance led to something and should have resulted - mass casualties killed up to several hundred thousand people. From the hysterical state of mass affect it is best to infer painful blows to the cheeks, and not beautiful-minded conversations.
In this destructive state, the Russian people show extreme egoism, destroying everything in their path, without even considering one-step the consequences of their actions.
The situation was very similar in the years of the so-called “Perestroika”. The strikes of the elite of the working class, the miners, played an important role in destabilizing the situation, when the whole country was blackmailed, demanding incredible wages. Well paid "hegemon" did not take any arguments. Will power plants, factories stop, schools and hospitals freeze? Let be! Faster give money. The people squeezed 20 packs of laundry detergent and several crates of pasta, crushing each other in lines, thereby turning everything into a deficit. He did not bring down his rage on the authorities, who organized a man-made famine, when he had to stand for hours for a loaf of bread and a bag of milk, and rushed to find a product, stomping on each other.
He was the one who sold vouchers for a bottle of vodka. He chose politicians who had deceived and robbed him once more, told mocking anecdotes about his heroes. Resignedly handed over the land, watered with the blood of his fathers and grandfathers country. Cut copper wires from hospitals to sell to buyers. Among the intelligentsia, the phrase “Gone with the Wind” became popular: “States are made on the collapse of empires ...”. People quite understood that they were participating in the destruction of their native country for the purpose of personal enrichment; by the way, very few had a chance to enrich themselves.
This is clearly not Kuzma Minin, who sold all his property to buy weapons for war with the traitors who were then in power and not collective farmers who were starving themselves, but voluntarily renting wedding rings to the building tanks and airplanes. Living parents threw a million children into the street, indifferently watching them, and with their slow death - these are the same parents who studied with us at the same desk and dreamed of a bright future. It sometimes seems that this is a completely different, not the people who won all conceivable wars and built a beautiful country?
Perhaps literally half a century ago, there was a special breed of Russian people with some kind of high morality inherent in them, and the working class was completely different? It turns out that this is not the case. In the "cradle of the revolution" - Leningrad, a city with a very large "specific weight" of the working class in the 30-s of the twentieth century, the situation was very difficult. 4's multiple growth in youth crime, the formerly closed “memoranda” and reports to the party organs paint a very unattractive picture of the daily life of the majority of the working class. Untidiness, drunkenness, scandals that develop into mass fights with stabbing. Komsomol activists reported: “The speech of the hostel children is littered with“ blatant ”catchwords, the ideal behavior for them is the representatives of the adult punks. By the way, a third of the young workers of Leningrad lived in the hostels then. The situation became noticeably straightened only to the 37-38 year.
Is this the vanguard of humanity? If you face the truth, in the mass of this ordinary cattle. Leningrad was chosen not by chance as an example: in 5 years these very people, yesterday’s rednecks, without any quotation marks, will show the strength of spirit unprecedented in human history. The West is trying with all its might to forget about besieged Leningrad, so much of what happened strikes the human imagination, the brain refuses to believe that human beings are capable of such feats without the intervention of divine forces. 250 grams of bread with sawdust per day for physically working, 125 - the rest. Scientists say that from such power to the spring 1942 g city had to die out completely. But he was not only not extinct, but the factories produced weapons, the working militia did not retreat a single step, the starving actors gave concerts and played on the stage, people falling from hunger threw lighters from the rooftops. And so three years. Of the 2 million population, slightly more than 500 thousand remained at the end of the Blockade, but there was not even a question of giving up. If someone says that people were afraid of the party committees and detachments - spit this bastard in the face. The shipments to Leningrad recollect: “We loaded flour for the Leningrad residents, the children themselves were very hungry, often there was no protection at all, even the thought didn’t have something to take”. “They sent bread, nobody took anything, it never even occurred to him.” These are the same yesterday's peasants who once hid the bread. And it was commonplace.
Where death, like a shadow, dragged along,
We have been so happy
Such freedom of rapid breathing,
What grandchildren would envy us. "
Olga Berggolts
No, they are not slaves. These are Heroes.
It was the power of their Spirit that saved the city, the country, and the lives of those who survived. A very characteristic feature of this state is the strongest spiritual and energetic rise, which, as a reward for the strength of the spirit, gives an indescribable feeling of supreme Happiness. In pursuit of such a state, adherents of religions and psychotechnics spend many years searching for the Masters and dreaming of Enlightenment. And here, almost an entire people took possession of this ancient incredible power of psychotechnics, and all this happened almost instantly. Yes, this is not a psychotechnique at all. This is the state of the Spirit. The tuning of human souls to the Heroic Wave takes place, and the Heroic Symphony is released. And yesterday's schoolboy, dunce and hooligan writes in blood in the basement of the Brest Fortress “I die but do not give up! Farewell Motherland! ”Our people entered the Hero state at the end of 30, at the beginning of 40, and this setting was possible thanks to the iron will and extraordinary strength of spirit of Joseph Stalin, who“ infected ”all the people with this condition. The bastard Khrushchev understood what he was doing when he killed in the folk soul the image of the greatest Leader of our history in order to destroy the state of the Hero in the people, and in this case this state was connected with the image of Stalin. The party oligarchy was not needed and the people-hero is dangerous. The path to the state of "cattle" did not take much time. Perestroika is its most direct consequence. The authorship of the expression “a Russian person is either holy or pig” is attributed to a variety of people, for example, to the British Ambassador in Muscovy, so this feature of the national character was noticed back in ancient times.
Starting from the period of "Glasnost", all anti-Soviet and anti-Russian propaganda was built on the demonstration and fanning of the dark side of the Russian people, where there were no facts just fabricated fakes. The “black propagandists” achieved their goal - they caused the destruction of landmarks and an outbreak of cynicism, disbelief and despair. It is vital for our people to pass this test with dignity and to withstand the stage of moral maturity. If this does not happen, we will disappear as a people.
Anti-Soviet propaganda is one of the most important acts of psychological warfare against the Russian people. It was a fierce attack from the very depths of the soul of the Russian people with the goal of depriving us of strength, knocking down “the mood for a heroic wave” so that the “Russian Miracle of the 20th century” that shook the whole world would never happen again. Probably there is not one of our hero, whom the bastards would not throw mud at. “Alexander Matrosov is a juvenile thief, Stakhanov is a lover of drinks, Gastello is a brawler ...”
Does a normal Russian person really care? Yes, if Sailors were at least three times a criminal, he became a Hero at the moment when he decided to die, but not to retreat. It is possible that our ancestors were lovers of drinking, polentyaning and pobyanit, and some of them were really a felon. This is all quite possible, but for the Russian person it is completely uninteresting and insignificant - they became saints at that moment when they decided: “They will not defeat me - they serve themselves, and I serve Russia. And then yourself. My life without Russia does not make sense. ”This is the Russian Spirit.
We need to realize our recent ancestors, the strength of their spirit, their mistakes, throwing and the experience of overcoming their dark sides. Their ascent to the heights of the human spirit, which made the indomitable heroes of ordinary and ordinary people, completely imperfect. In the absence of angels, the Russian people had to work wonders themselves in order to survive. Like a spark, a wave was entering a state of resonance in the hearts of all the people and yesterday’s rednecks became the hero of the highest order. A critical mass of people accumulated in the “state of the hero” and then a chain reaction began.
The feats were performed by yesterday’s “cattle”; there was no other people in the country. This can be explained consistently only in one way: only if we understand that
The Russian people can be in two stable psychological states - "cattle" and "hero", the transition between which can occur almost instantly.
This is reminiscent of the quantum states of an atom in which it can be and which are essentially energy levels. The state of the Hero is accompanied by the strongest generation of spiritual energy.
We can say that in the fire of the Patriotic War and the reflections of the open-hearth furnaces of Industrialization, we saw the pale shadow of the “Man of the Future”.
