Exploitation of nostalgia for the USSR is the last resource of the Russian authorities

After a few years, however, he will be exhausted, giving rise to inevitable problems

This week, a well-known political analyst Yevgeny Mishchenko presented a report in which he declared that the country was ruled by a certain “Politburo”, among which he referred to Vladimir Putin’s close associates - Dmitry Medvedev, Igor Sechin, Sergey Chemezov and many others.

The report aroused great interest, and not a statement of the fact that Putin has an environment, and the people included in it are extremely influential, much like the very word "Politburo". It seems that this word has a magical effect on the minds. Surely, being a member of the Politburo is also a pleasure for people from the inner circle of the president. The authority of this party organ was exceptionally great; a large fight was fought for membership in it in Soviet times.

It seems that our authorities again decided to play on nostalgia for the USSR. Just a couple of days after Mishchenko, the presidential plenipotentiary in the Ural district, Igor Kholmanskikh, initiated the revival of the title “Hero of Labor”. This title really existed in the days of Stalin. Then it was renamed “Hero of Socialist Labor” and in this form existed until the very end of the Soviet government, after which it was canceled.

So, familiar terms are returning to our lives - “Politburo”, “Hero of Labor”. The only problem is that they are only a chimera. The authorities are trying to use pro-Soviet nostalgia for their own benefit, in order to strengthen and legitimize their power, which staggered after mass rallies in Russian cities.

However, imitating the USSR, the authorities continue to build a system that has nothing in common with it. Get at least the title of "Hero of Labor." What was it for? Stalin wanted to create a "labor aristocracy", a kind of "Order of the Legion of Honor" of the most prominent figures of science, art and industry. Hence the introduction of the title “Hero of Labor”, as well as honorary titles like “People’s Artist” or “Honored Teacher”; In Soviet times, these titles were highly valued, and even today they have partially retained their weight.

But to whom is the title “Hero of Labor” given in our conditions? Abramovich, Potanin and Friedman? After all, we are the main "captains of industry" ... It's funny? Well, then, perhaps, to establish for them the title "People's Oligarch of the Russian Federation" or "Honored Oligarch"? More fun? Good. But then how will we award the title “Hero of Labor” to a worker who works in a private, capitalist factory? Would not such a “Hero of Labor” be the object of ridicule as a person who worked hard on an “uncle” (that is, on a private shareholder of the plant)?

If, however, to reward with this title only employees of state-owned factories, then we get a blatant injustice: the worse employees of private enterprises? In Soviet times, people worked for the state, and the criteria for awarding were clear: those who collected more bread or cooked steel became a good fellow. Now these criteria are ridiculous, because the economy is non-state in nature.

The same thing with the Politburo. We are told about the influence groups around Putin, but these influence groups are created by Putin and totally depend on him. Sechin and Chemezov are his friends and helpers. Dmitry Medvedev, although he was president, is also a former Putin aide.

Let me remind you that all members of the Soviet Politburo were considered equal. But what about the General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, you ask? Formally, he stood below the Politburo and the Secretariat of the Central Committee. All official portraits of the Politburo about Brezhnev wrote like this: "A member of the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee, General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee." That is, his position as a member of the Politburo was formally higher than his post of Secretary General. In practice, of course, this was not the case. But the Secretary General was forced to rule, relying on the opinion of his colleagues on the Politburo, to reach agreement with them on the most important issues, sometimes to argue.

But today we have the domination of presidential power. There is no “collective leadership,” even a formal one, not even a trace. The members of the Mishchenko "Politburo" are influential insofar as they are close to Putin.

Let's give an example. Igor Sechin lost the post of Deputy Prime Minister for the Fuel and Energy Complex after the Cabinet of Ministers was headed by Dmitry Medvedev. The Sechin post was occupied by Arkady Dvorkovich, who immediately began to impose his own rules on the industry. Sechin was appointed president of Rosneft State, one of the largest corporations in the country. In this capacity, he, it would seem, should have been subordinated to Dvorkovich. But Sechin vkhozh to Putin. As a result, Putin issued a decree that created the presidential commission on the fuel and energy complex, in which Sechin took the post of executive secretary, thereby regaining all lost powers. Today, the influence of the former deputy chairman in the industry is no less than that of Dvorkovich, but rather much more ...

In short, the influence of the current "Politburo members" on 100% depends on their personal relationship with Putin. There is no collective leadership. Moreover, all the current "Politburo" was created by Putin and rests only on connections with him. If Putin likes to resign, all of his Politburo will fall with him.

So the similarity of the names should not deceive anyone. The current political and economic model of Russia is totally different from the Soviet one, therefore the introduction of names similar to the Soviet ones just misleads public opinion. The ruling elite uses the last resources to consolidate its power; what remains is its cult of Victory and nostalgia for the late USSR. In a few years, however, even this resource will burn. What will then justify their rule by people whose goal is to preserve the regime of total corruption as long as possible, incomprehensible to the mind.

Meanwhile, the state begins to crumble into pieces, and the scandals that shake Russian society are only part of the onset of the crisis process. It seems that the validity of the “raw empire” created by Putin in the zero years has expired, and the rulers have no new ideas. Except perhaps the ideas of fooling the public, which is brilliantly confirmed in the ideas of the "politburo" or the introduction of the title "Hero of Labor."

[Romeohihnic]

Studies by sociologists show: Soviet childhood is now in fashion. “I want to go back to the USSR. How good it was then - probably the best time in my life ”- more and more often this phrase can be heard not only from veterans, whose biography is tightly connected with the Soviet times, but also from those who are barely 30. People, who were 1991-13 years old in 15, they collectively collect Soviet films and exchange memories of their pioneering childhood. Nostalgia for the Soviet past is becoming common among thirty-year-olds.

[sergey32]

Born in 73 in 91 was 18. In Soviet childhood, I do not want, although there was a lot of right. At school, they were preparing for a future life, at the NVP, preparation for the service was real. But there was enough idiocy. Communist propaganda, in which no one believed, shortages, queues, wretchedness. It was well remembered how, starting from the fourth grade, every September we were chased for potatoes for two, three weeks, and more happened. Could send in the spring to sort out rotten potatoes in storage. In the summer months always worked in the field or greenhouses. At the same time, teachers could not answer my question why child labor is prohibited in the USSR, and we work for free for almost two months a year, often not until lunchtime, but from morning to evening. In general, the party leadership treated its citizens as means of production. Muscovites and Petersburgers probably did not see this, and the guys from the province, especially the rural ones, got it.

Well, it’s you who have already found a crumbling state, with traitors at the top

No, Sergey, everyone got it. We, rural people, studied for the first two weeks of September, and then for harvesting until mid-October. City workers worked out in the summer, on vacation, weeding beets. It was called "labor and rest camp" and we did not envy them. In the heat, in the sun, upside down all day, and we passed them on to the Moskva River ...

[lewerlin53rus]

Quote: Normal

It was called "labor and rest camp"

I called it "no rest labor camp." When I was in the USSR, when I entered the 9th grade in 1987 in such a camp, weeding beets, I earned myself the first Sonata-216 tape recorder, (who remembers such ) And the next year, already in the 10th grade, they simply kicked me out of this camp, (I took this beetroot along with midges and horseflies). But I still had to work out on vacation, however, already at the school itself it was undergoing repairs, painting, dragging desks, etc.
And some nostalgia for the USSR is not a consequence of some kind of purposeful policy, but simply people who found Soviet times remember that stability, the power of the state. Anyway, everyone was younger then, 20-25 years old.

[Set]

I harvested carrots every September on the state farm. I never went to the labor camp. He worked four hours a day at construction sites. In 1987 he bought a "Romantic-306" tape recorder for 200 rubles and a telephone with buttons VEF (steepness) for 80 rubles. and this for 6 weeks of work as a handyman.

Yes, everyone called that. Only in our state farm they did not pay money for weeding. The accounting department believed that all the money earned by city schoolchildren went to food and the maintenance of this end ...., excuse me, "labor camps without rest"
And yet. when the shift ended and they left, the girls cried. and then with the guys we were fighting on one side.

This nostalgia, all the brightest that was in our youth and youth, is trying to take advantage of those who introduced a monopoly on power, who privatized the power itself.

[bairat]

I don’t know how others have, we had something NVP. In the school garden, digging trenches in full profile, there was a mock tank for throwing grenades, a serious obstacle course. Voenruk approached the matter with his soul, I remember leaving for the holidays, he tells us: throw everything you see under your feet the bricks / bottles / clods of the earth, who in the fall will not throw a grenade very much. And it acted.
Propaganda is yes, in newspapers there are only materials of congresses, speeches of the general secretary, turbidity in general. Well, the Soviet man was not lost; for lack of toilet paper, he used these newspapers for the second purpose.
Workout, too, got, not only at school, in a pioneer camp laborers on collective farm fields. A friend from Uzbekistan said that they worked for 3-4 months on cotton picking, under slavish conditions.
My father is 74 years old, he has seen everything, even he says that now he’s better off. You earn money, but there’s nothing to spend on. There is one furniture store, one television and radio station in a city of one million people, and even those are empty. Now it’s hard to imagine, but it’s probably already impossible for the young. Queues for groceries, for milk, a trip from the morning to the opening of the store, later everything is gone. Moreover, on all collective farms there were huge herds of cows, it is not clear where their milk and meat disappeared.

The coupon system for the least protected groups has long been in place in the United States. Food cards are America’s usual social support tool. A food ticket is an electronic card, replenished monthly by the state from budgetary funds. On average, each person receives food stamps at $ 115 per month, and a family - at $ 255 a month.
In 2010, the number of Americans receiving food stamps rose to a record 42,9 million

Ascetic,

Stanislav, welcome. If possible, then - more specifically - who falls into the "least secure" category? And the fact that the number of such people in the states has grown exponentially - is it a confirmation of the decline in general welfare? I know that your answer (if any) will be reasoned and literate to perfection. And, I think, it will be useful for those who breathe in foreign life.
And, as for the article itself, in my opinion both the title and the message are not true. Nostalgia for the Union is exploited with might and main not by the current government, but by the opposition of this power, representing being in the Union as a popular print - elegant and carefree.

[Alexey Prikazchikov]

Yes, the question is, I think, not even in the salary, but because you can buy with the money you earned. And this is approximately equivalent to each other.

By the way, you Democrats, and the states themselves, position them as the richest and most prosperous state. Russia, in your words, is the "upper volta".

Yes, most of these poor or alcoholics or parasites. And fuck you make them work even for a good salary. We in our village offered such a herd of jaws.

That is why we have united with Kazakhstan and we are also trying to interest Ukraine in the union. The three of us will be able to regulate prices on the grain market and be monopolists there with all the "gingerbread" from such a situation ... (wink)

[MI-AS-72]

yeah, they imported it, ask your mother, she will tell you how collective farmers drowned grain in the rivers and spread rot in the elevators, well, they were free to Africa, and then they were naturally bought, since in the USSR no one was starving, and now in Russia there are about 2 million people starve, and starvation death is no longer a rarity. However, this was also the case in the Republic of Ingushetia, they fed whole Europe with grain, and their people were starving. so do not tell here about exporting a fairy tale. We have all eaten bread for a long time from flour, which is obtained from wheat, which went to livestock feed during the USSR.

[Alexey Prikazchikov]

Man you from an oak tree collapsed what deaths from hunger. Go to bed.

[survivor]

I do not know. I am 73 years old, lived in the city of Tselinograd, Northern Kazakhstan. "There is one furniture store, one TV and radio per million city, and even those are empty. Now it is difficult to imagine, but for the young it is probably already impossible. Queues for groceries, for milk in the morning to the opening of the store, later everything, no. kolkhozes had huge herds of cows, it is not clear where their milk and meat went. "
we certainly didn’t have this. shops were bursting with an abundance of products. there was everything: meat, and milk, and vegetables with fruits, and sausage, and sausages. the same situation in furniture stores, electronics stores. I remember how we bought the first color TV, and it turned out to be defective and immediately changed it to another, turned out to be married again and changed it again. and so 5-6 times. Yes, the quality of the goods was not up to par, but the goods were! the same with clothes and shoes! everything was. Every summer we went to Grozny to relatives and there I was surprised to see a shortage. but again, and sausage, and halva, and sorbet, were present in stores!
so, a lot depended on those people who stood at the helm! everything was in Tselinograd, but not all and not always in neighboring cities (at least according to those who came to visit us)

It was like that ...
At one time in Buryatia, we did a lot of such things, the republic was animal husbandry.
The famous stew in the whole Union, which we "Buryats" ourselves have not seen.
In the 87th we went to Ukraine, they were already stunned. We have almost no queues, but in Ukraine nobody takes them, it lies on store shelves. It was so wild to see us.

[survivor]

in what ... what does this mean? the point is not that something was not there, but that the distribution system was not set up everywhere. like that, already in Rostov, I talked with my uncle alone. so he gave me a glass tea told about what happened in Novocherkask. there was a riot over the fact that nothing was in the stores. and this at a time when we had everything in Kazakhstan! I do not argue, I was small then and did not realize a lot, but I went to stores and saw the goods on the shelves myself. favorite place of pilgrimage was the electrical goods store "Medeo". By the way, there I bought the first remote control for the TV, for my father's birthday)))

[ughhh]

poor thing, not overworked?

[sergey32]

ughhh,
No, I didn’t overwork, moreover, I learned to work for an adult, for real. But it was a shame when you are driven to work for free and no one asks for your consent, they also settled on a collective farm in barracks in almost cattle conditions.

[ughhh]

Quote: sergey32

It was well remembered how, starting from the fourth grade, every September we were chased for potatoes for two, three weeks, and more

ah-ah, for 2 whole weeks every year the students were forced to work. What rascals ...

[sergey32]

I don’t know, maybe you had two weeks, and we cumulatively got two months for the year, and the director of the state farm, who used free child labor every year, received for the high achievements of the hero of social labor.

[ughhh]

I don’t understand what does the money have to do with it? What a mania to measure all these filthy pieces of paper?

But people grew up. Who in the team could find a common language and understand and understand how to get subordination. If you wanted, of course.
Money came to the same free education as a result. Or do you think their collective farm directors abroad were pulled away?

I often happen to subordinate young people 20-25 years old. They have to be raised as children, you know? It’s not a job to do, but to tell what is good and what is bad.

Well, they raised a generation of gibberish, then what? Maybe they should not go to school, why strain? Also free!

[sergey32]

I agree with you that children need to be accustomed to work, but there is nothing wrong with the fact that the child will know the value of his work. Since 14, all my free time in the summer I worked as a concrete worker in the brigade along with older men, earned more than my parents, so it was a shame to work for free in the fall.

[Slayer]

sergey32 we can say that you practiced free education in the USSR, right now to get a child to school a tidy sum comes out, in those days we worked out our education this way + brought benefits to the country

[FiremanRS]

I agree. But as for labor in the fields, guys, I can't say anything bad. Likewise, I sorted rotten potatoes in storage facilities and collected beets and potatoes and cabbage knee-deep in the mud. But it was fun, and by the way, I have never even had a runny nose during all this time! I don't know how it was there, but the teachers immediately explained everything to us. And I knew that the potatoes that we sorted out later in the store I would buy and eat. I will eat what I went through and it depended on me to eat rot or normal. I knew that I would eat fresh vegetables all year round in the school cafeteria for help in harvesting. So don't "la-la". Previously, people were judged by their actions, and not as now: by their annual income.

[Alexey Prikazchikov]

And then these people did grow up as you said. The USSR was being brought down. So maybe the people were wrong? There were people under Stalin. Lizhbs spat blood from their territory to drive away the fascists. And these "people" were a bit difficult and they traded the whole empire for boh knows what.

My friend and I in the 8th grade remember independently getting a job at a state farm for a month .. it was hard, but then I earned money for a scarce Electronica cassette player with a wooden panel and proudly defiled with him along a flock of our beauties to the tunes of Boney M and Smokey.

It's strange. We didn't have "potatoes" at school. Only its own school educational facilities. I will say more - in the military school, in the 2nd year, before being sent for potatoes, they asked - who does not want, a step forward. Those who did not want to go stayed at the school. Usually these were locals who had somewhere to go in the absence of an educational process. And Soviet childhood is just a fairy tale! Freedom and security, there are so many interesting things around! I could get into a passing dump truck in the morning and ride all day on all sorts of construction sites, in the evening they brought me back on a hitch - I was 6-7 years old. And the parents weren't worried. The key to the apartment lay under the rug, like everyone else. In the lower grades, the teacher came home to conduct additional classes if there were problems with studies. He was a member of the YUDPD, Green and Blue patrols (if anyone remembers what it is), they really went, scared the "bad guys". Without exception, the whole class consisted of sports. sections, I was engaged in acrobatics and high jumping, went to a chess club, traveled around the region to competitions. At the age of 17, I traveled by train from the North Caucasus to the Urals with 32 kopecks in my pocket. At 18 he worked for 110 rubles. from 9 to 15 o'clock - this money was enough for me for everything. At home there were 2 TVs (some kind of Photon, it seems, and an old Record-64), GDR carpets and dishes, a 3-room free apartment (for a family of 2 adults and 3 children), and most importantly - confidence in the future. Even without higher education it was possible to live a normal life - a neighbor was a welder, traveled to socialist countries, had 2 collectible 3-barrel Sauer guns. What was bad in the USSR for a normal person? I do not know. I saw cards / coupons in the 90th year - for vodka. And to hell with her! My daughter has a completely different childhood. I am a little ashamed in front of her. I hope that at least grandchildren will live in such a beautiful country as the USSR was for me.

[Igarr]

Interesting you guys.
Remember only who and how worked.
Surely then, the thought occurred to you - some kind of nonsense!
There is no child labor - but children work., The effectiveness of such labor is zero, or striving for such. The export of children to (here I need to clarify ... in Central Asia, where I came from - we were taken from the 7th grade to cotton ... well, to collect it, this cotton ... In Russia, I know - there were potatoes, beets, carrots .. like ..)) - the cost was clearly higher than the return on our child labor.
...
If the children saw it. Did the organizers really not cut through the chip?
So it was necessary. For something.
...
To tell?
Or did they themselves - made in the Soviet Union - slip through?
...
The point, just something ... in PARTICIPATION!
In connection with a huge, collective work.
Where even ... a "widow's mite" - can cost much more than 108 tons of Stakhanov.
We, young, young, snotty, were placed in conditions when the main thing was NADO Country.
They did not create greenhouse conditions for us. We were simply confronted with a fact.
And they looked. Who should have watched.
Who on what much.
...
And then they chose .... those who subsequently became Prokhorov, Potanin, Chubais, and the rest.
...
Therefore, they are afraid of us.
Because the children of historical Russia are terrible children. Children sharpened by IDEA.
And not protoplasm.

Well done, that's right. I still remember under Stalin every year there was a decline in prices and People were confident in the future, were not afraid to go outside. There were 11 circles at school, where I was enrolled in everything, but not in all. He wanted to be a pioneer, a Komsomol member. What were the rulers, Komsomol meetings, where was democracy.

[Galina]

You know, after all, to whom that is sweet. Many only remembered some kind of bad complexes. But what then tormented you so much? Maybe you, as a boy then, were unhealthy and you couldn’t afford to collect or sort out potatoes? Now, you know, no one sends children to work anywhere, their childhood safe from any kind of joint work. They are protected from the need to do anything for free, even to clean up in the classroom (as was once done) in the order of priority. Better parents will pay for everything, and the aunt will come, sweep and wash. There are some remnants of a shovel (in your opinion) past: in the autumn to rake leaves, in winter snow, in spring to dig up the ground. But, I think, a couple of outraged statements by parents - and the situation will be corrected. Kids will not work. They are being prepared for higher office plankton labor.
And we once went to harvest without much desire. But when they found themselves on the spot on the collective farm, then together they rejoiced, and dabbled, and did business, competing. You write "Communist propaganda in which no one believed," that is, it annoyed you. But not everyone did make a tragedy out of this. Many worked conscientiously and lived, finding joy in everyday life, art, who in what. And what makes children happy now, are they happy in their satiety? I don't see that.

[Averias]

Yeah, I remember the same trip to the potato. Damn, what a duty. Although there was more harm from us than to sense. Since we buried it more than collected. It was also depressed by the fact that not only had to take food with us, but also tools (pitchforks, shovels, buckets) and walked to the fields, but they were far from us. The lessons of history were still very successful, due to the inquisitiveness of my mind, after classes I went to the reading room and looked for confirmation of the words from the textbook. It almost always turned out that they were bastards. When he told the teacher why he was lying to us and tells us something that wasn’t there, he said - you’ll understand how to grow up. And then he ran to knock on the teacher’s. As a result, teachers' councils and a ban on visiting the library. And when I grew up and understood everything myself - this understanding did not arouse delight. Although there was a lot of good under the USSR, and most importantly, people were kinder.

[kush62]

Quote: kush62

One authoritative (for whom) political scientist remembered the word of the Politburo and on this they have already muddied the waters. Another suggested introducing "Hero of Labor" and this is presented in the article as an already decided event.

I support. Custom article. Author's minus , since it creates information noise from scratch. More specifically, in his article he tries to implement the principle of "divide and conquer". That is, citizens who have chosen power for themselves must first turn away from it, and then overthrow it.

As they say, horseradish . Foreign agents will achieve the opposite effect.

[Igarr]

Alexander, I agree completely.
Only I would specify, the author ..... how, uncle Hamlet, trying to pour poison into his ears under the sleep of reason (through the USSR).
This was enough for me - ".. The authorities are trying to use the pro-Soviet nostalgia for their own good, in order to strengthen and legitimize their power, which has faltered after mass rallies in Russian cities."
Either they reassure themselves, or they keep us for fools!
Not to say - central and local authorities are two big differences.
No, comrade ... flooded with lofty matters. Political scientist, Mlyn.
Bullshit, crochet.

[makano]

Of course, one should not cling to someone else's glory. And the slogan that we defeated Napoleon sounds funny. Our rulers earned their bread by corruption. Now it remains to hang themselves with trinkets and completely devalue the feat of grandfathers. Holman apparently laurels of Ukrainian Bandera heroists are worried.

I was 91 years old at 9, but I understood everything well enough to say now, really ordinary people (percent of the 80 population) were much better than now. I would certainly be worse, in the USSR I would never have had an 64 inch TV (which is now). But the people were better. Although if capitalism was correctly and accurately allowed into the USSR slowly, maybe everyone would be fine, and 64 TVs for those who make money on them ... who knows. But what you have done is definitely the worst case scenario.

[Mikado]

How do you know that you wouldn't have such a TV? Because "at that time" in the USSR TV sets were in short supply? Well, in the USA "in those days" it is good if there was one TV set not a family.

[Kurdalagon]

The question is not in abundance, here you come from a Western consumer point of view. Nostalgia for the USSR is a consent to exchange part of their freedoms and goods for a higher level of social justice, for confidence in their state, for a sense of pride at last ... By the way, I, too, was 9 years old in '91

[lewerlin53rus]

I in 91 left on a demobilization with urgent. Therefore, I had to serve in two armies: Soviet and Russian. Moreover, the difference was striking. For six months, everything has changed. From politics to procurement. And mostly not for the better, especially procurement.

[pribolt]

I was 91 yards at 17 m and I entered, I was in my first year and I remember well the beginning of the collapse of the Cooperatives, prices ran up, video salons, V. Tsoi was very popular after death, but it seems to me that the time was better in the stagnant 80s, golden time may because the time of my childhood.

[Igarr]

We got ... damn it ... there would be a TV, there wouldn’t be.
In those days there were "Birches" - where you could buy whatever your heart desires for currency.
Even in various land Tashkent there was a store selling checks.
And there was ... a commission type of trade, a buying type of trade.
Who wanted Hitachi in 1985 ... then he had it. It was enough to go to the port city ... and buy. Or order.
...
But ... how cool it was ... the iron curtain.

Once in Palmas ... he suggested evaluating the golden ring of (his) Indian merchant. The ring was washed off by a fly. This is the year 1989. Whether it was long or short, standing firmly on my own, that I have a ring in the declaration - I achieved the return of the ring. (Well .... it really was in the declaration). By the way, knowledge of English helped.
..
So we did not have time to start in Riga ... face control - as I was immediately asked to demonstrate - the ring. And if I do not mind - to pass for examination. And what would I protest, right?
...
It was much more interesting to live in the Soviet Union. More exciting.

[Alexander Romanov]

And why should we be afraid of the analogy with the USSR? A lot at that time was much more correct than seichas. What happens there at the top and how they say in the coloirs they will not tell us about it. What will work, it will be as it will be, with some changes with approaching the next election.

[Mikado]

It is not analogies that should scare you, but the fact that under the guise of "good old" they are trying to sell you, don’t understand what.

[bairat]

Yes, it’s clear what they are trying to do: they want the population to work for them for the idea, it would be much more convenient to steal in the conditions of the USSR than now, no rallies, internet and bulk to you.

[Delink]

Everything has been worked out for years. And before, we fought for ideology. Now it is not in principle. And she is needed. Everything was built on it, developed. Without it, we come to the abyss of utopianism by leaps and bounds, from where we will then climb out for many years.

No, Alexander, not like that. Long story. I have worked in more than one campaign in the elections in the Russian Federation, incl. on Putin and Co. - something needs to be eaten. The system of power, which includes the Central Executive Committee of the Russian Federation, is simply "charged". Zyuganov surrendered in 96, and new ones are not allowed to go. No choice. So they "choose" between poop and poop in a wrapper.

I agree. Ideology is a must !!!

[53-Sciborskiy]

In Soviet times, people worked for the state, and the award criteria were clear: whoever collected the most bread or cooked steel - well done. Now these criteria are ridiculous, because the economy is non-state in nature. I don’t see any difference between work for the state and private owners. It turns out that you can work on a private trader through the sleeves, but you won’t work for so long. In fact, a person works for the good of the family and, as it does not sound pathetic, for the good of his homeland.

[the polar]

Of course, no difference.
You will bend your hump at Deripaska. Deripaska will take out the profit you created for the "hillock" and bury it deeper.
You will receive the title of "hero of labor" and an increased pension at the expense of the budget. ordinary taxpayers.

So if you glue your eyes with a band-aid, then of course you will not see any difference.

An exception to the rule confirms the rule. Do you live probably in a large city? in our town, the average salary is from 8-16 rubles, I work at a construction site, constant processing, payment is at a minimum, in some organizations they practice a fixed-term contract, they work for 2-6 months without holidays and there is a bare tariff. This was not the case with advice I worked for myself and there were more options to find a better place. Now we have trans oil; local workers are taking on 15 rubles shift workers from the West for 70 rubles.

[Normal]

Yes, from the very beginning of the reign of VVP there was a stake on deception, lies, propaganda and substitution of concepts. I remember how the first Putinites came to the leadership of our farm; Crackling and gibberish with complete incompetence in everything. "We will not let the Motherland be plundered!" and immediately the scale of theft exceeded all reasonable limits. For 12 years everything in the village was destroyed; an outpatient clinic, shops, a kindergarten, a club with children's clubs and a library, a bathhouse, roads. The farm itself was closed by merging with another of the same profile, as a result, the garage, workshops, a working canteen, a laundry room, warehouses, a sawmill, an electrical workshop, and an office were closed and destroyed. And all this while talking about optimization and reconstruction.
But they built a commercial elite housing for sale, putting everything on the old utilities and treatment facilities.
Now the authorities are persistently promoting the idea that we are moving towards what was in the USSR and gradually draws analogies between Stalin and Putin.
Nothing but an attempt to once again fool the population behind this is not worth it, as they began and continue.

[mechanic33]

..... The authorities are trying to use pro-Soviet nostalgia for their own benefit in order to strengthen and legitimize their power, which staggered after mass rallies in Russian cities ....

Meanwhile, the state begins to crumble into pieces, and the scandals that shake Russian society are only part of the crisis process that is beginning. It seems that the suitability of the “raw empire” created by Putin in the zero years has expired, and the rulers have no new ideas.

some verbiage, then reptilians rule their world, then underground dwarfs, or aliens from outer space, then quite seriously say that women have seized power and want to squeeze men from the light ... And everything is so beautifully presented, you will look and listen ...

[andrei332809]

in the late 80s and 90s they scolded the Soviet government for buying grain abroad. in the 2000s, an economist spoke on a box, he said that the cost of a loaf of bread was 1p 20k, and was sold to the population for 20kop. the rest of the ruble was compensated by the state due to the sale of oil
and then of course I remember with the nostalgia of the USSR. good country was

So the similarity of names should not deceive anyone. The current political and economic model of Russia is totally different from the Soviet one,

Well ... the author discovered America.))

[klimpopov]

Born in 86, my grandmother says that my Dad was born, there were coupons, I was born there were coupons, I have nothing to say about the Soviet, Dad is nostalgic, especially for the army. Childhood and youth passed in 90 - in the nineties I do not want to. I believe that there is no turning back, it is necessary to look back, but it is necessary to follow the path of the evolution of society, so there are no revivals of the monarchies, etc.
Very disappointing for the current education - which is not IMHO ...

[apro]

Nostalgia for the USSR is understandable — stability and social justice are the strength of the Motherland. Respect for the country. Everyone says there is a shortage of coupons and in those days the refrigerator was closed from the ponka, milk could be eaten - now ???? The equipment was on the telephones of the tape recorder. now we have one china shoes for one season. Everyone worked and I could earn it; I got 16 for a month; I received 1000 rubles for repairs; though it’s kolyma, that’s money. The hero of labor amused the phrase if you assign a businessman a thief if you are a hard worker

[serge]

And what did the current government take from the USSR? Flag and internationalism with the suppression of the Russian people. All. There are also cries about how well we live and will live even better (which in Soviet times were partly true, not like today). And it would be necessary to take free housing, free medicine, free education, the right to work, the right to rest, a moral code, censorship in the media and articles of the Criminal Code for perverts and traitors.

[Apollo]

This is the first case on the forum in my practice when, the author (with a capital letter) Pavel Svyatenkov painted everything so clearly and competently that didn't even leave me a chance on the comments Not only the title but also the content of the article I really liked. As they say right in the bull's eye. It is a pity that I can not put 100 + !!!

[Per se.]

There is a rule in chess that it is better to play with the wrong plan than without it at all. Nostalgia for the USSR is largely due to the fact that, in addition to stability, there was confidence in the future, thanks to a great goal, thanks to a lofty idea. You can argue here for a long time, remembering good and bad, but, in my opinion, the consumer society of "insects" has no future, and the death of the Soviet Union is not only our national tragedy of the collapse of a great country, but also a drama of a planetary scale that will haunt all of humanity. If it is not too late, the country needs a national idea, we need a lofty, spiritual goal. The long journey, as they say, begins with the first step, at least, the "Hero of Labor", a man who built ships or grew bread, and not used medicines in his factory.

[Mozart]

Good article. Let the author go very far, but the conclusion is correct. The task of the current government is only to maintain power. The country is like a cash cow. Nobody thinks about the future of the country and the people. At the helm random people, temporary workers. There will be oil at $ 60, the economy will fall apart like a house of cards.

[Nechai]

“Take, for example, the title“ Hero of Labor. ”Why was it introduced? Stalin wanted to create a“ labor aristocracy ”(?!?!?!)
Pavel, she is a working "aristocracy" has always been. The word worker should be understood as those who produce a product demanded by society by their labor. People were awarded for outstanding MERITS in work. Without dividing WHERE a person worked in the state or PRIVATE SECTOR of the economy. The private sector (of course not in the current interpretation) was significant. In some areas, reaching up to 40-70% of the total volume of manufactured products, this nomenclature. / For example, the "automatic machines" of the PPP were produced ONLY by PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS, and the state-owned enterprises continued to produce PCA / From 1956 to 1960, the private sector was destroyed. Just in time for the rapacious monetary reform of 1961.

At the end of the 80s, under the banner of "perestroika and democratization", the education of young people (at the state level) was stopped, in the 90s and "zero" years, the "power" did not pay attention to caring for the population, it (the power) was busy dividing the Soviet legacy and the Power , now everything is going "by inertia", that is, nothing is being done.

[rexby63]

Not true. You are either an enemy or ... In Kostroma, a lot of attention is now being paid to the patriotic education of youth. Clubs that existed in the Union and focused on military-patriotic education are now united in a cadet corps. A whole boarding school has been allocated for the building. Another thing is that daddies with mothers are reluctant to give their children there. Is Putin also to blame for this? By the way. not their accountants identified?

[916-th]

The author made a rather small article, it looks like a small shot at a bear. On separate, unknown signs (Politburo, Hero of Labor) far-reaching parallels are drawn and profound conclusions are drawn about the crisis of modern power. The arguments "against the authorities" are not serious and are obviously artificially far-fetched.

It is another matter if the author made an analytical comparison of two elites - the modern (oligarchs) and the Soviet stagnant-perestroika period (party-economic nomenclature). Then, perhaps, he would have discovered that in essence they are not very strong and differ from each other. How cannot a son be radically different from his father. Both there and there the leading motive of activity is power. She gave privileges and preferences to nomenclature, and money to oligarchs. The same eggs, only in profile.

[MI-AS-72]

They differ and very much, the Soviet elite had privileges at the level of today's district judge. But in modern Russia there is no elite. Remember how the "friend" Brzezinski answered the question of a Russian journalist how he relates to our elite, he replied, where did you get the idea that this is your elite, this is our elite, its money, which is exported from Russia, and this is almost 500 billion. $ (Brzez said so) are working for us and we are their owners, so they are ours, and to consider them as your elite is your right and nothing more.

I do not know the name of the book you are reading, but most likely it was published no earlier than 1990, which is written there is not difficult to imagine. Unfortunately, after Stalin, the leadership of the Union began to degenerate and was not able to propose and do something more or at least as great. like Stalin, all rulers began their activity by claiming that their predecessors were criminals.
As for mutual assistance, if you don’t know in the USSR there were several terrible earthquakes in Tashkent, Spitak, and Dushanbe. During the earthquakes, the cities were completely destroyed. Where tens of thousands died, and in Dushanbe and Tashkent under a hundred thousand. People cannot be returned, but the cities have been completely restored. And not on credit from the IMF or WB, but simply because they lived in the same country. And do not take it for reproach, but Poland was also helped after the war, although a third of the country itself was in ruins. I want to offer you, for balance, to take an interest not only in the numbers of victims of the famine, which are actually 10 times smaller, but also in the help that the USSR provided to Poland after the war. I also want to offer you to imagine a disaster of this magnitude in Poland and who will help you and on what conditions and compare with how these issues were resolved in the USSR.
Regarding the Russians who fought .. After 1943, the Wehrmacht held about 3 million people on the Eastern Front. and you want to say that a third were Russians? Do not retell nonsense! A latent civil war did not end in the country. The repression of 1937 is one of the manifestations of this war. And here Hitler, therefore, there were many who wanted to settle accounts with the Bolsheviks, but if there were 100000, no more And they mainly served in the West or carried security service. The facts of the transition of such units to the side of the Red Army in full force are known. I want to suggest you pay more attention to statistics. This, of course, is not as exciting as the books of Solzhenitsyn, but much more convincing.
By the way, have you heard anything about the Holodomor in the United States in 1931-33? If not, I can offer a link and I will be grateful if you substantively prove that this is not so ..

By the way, in my opinion, the origins of all civil wars lie on the other side of the border pillar

Good evening!
Well, all - not all, but there is a grain of truth in this. At least without external intervention, everything would end faster and with less blood

"The cult of Victory and nostalgia for the late USSR. In a few years, however, even this resource will burn out. How then will people justify their rule, whose goal is to preserve the regime of total corruption as long as possible, is incomprehensible to the mind."
The whole article is built on similar "revelations" about the existing reality .... in some ways I agree, in some I do not. Question -What to do ... and the author does not give an answer to this question .. (that's why he said above the article - minus) ........ let's look for the answer ourselves ...

Main special operation ahead
V.V Kvachkov
Stalinist socialism in the 21st century
"It seems that the" National project "to combat corruption at the first stage would have cost Stalin 30 rubles, based on the commercial cost of one cartridge for a machine gun at 000 rubles and the need to shoot the first thousand bribe-takers and embezzlers. Identification of thieves and other criminals in power now it's elementary! ........ Do you want and are ready to take over the management of the village, city, region and above? -Sit in a chair, put on the sensors and answer the questions (polygraph): "Do you steal? Do you take bribes? Are you committing adultery? Homosexual? Slandering others? Lying about yourself? ........ Within the next year, the authorities will be cleared ... ".

Russian nationalism is a love of the Russian people ...

It turns out that Putin created a raw material empire before Putin. I understand that in Russia there was a world-class industry that filled up the whole world with its goods and the evil Putin came and turned the country into a raw material empire.

Russian magazines have enough memory for only two weeks.
