"It began even before Gorbachev came to power": KGB veteran talks about the processes of the collapse of the USSR

This year marks exactly 30 years since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Hundreds of articles, books have been written about the causes and consequences of that event, dozens of documentaries and pseudo-documentaries have been shot. At the same time, there are no fewer questions.

For any adequate person, it remains a mystery how it happened that a superpower with one of the most powerful armies in the world, with the State Security Committee, which was considered an all-powerful special service, not only took the path of collapse, but really plunged into oblivion. How did it happen that the representatives of the high command, who took the oath to serve the Fatherland, at least turned a blind eye to the destructive processes that began in the country before 1991 and which were acquiring an avalanche-like character.

There are even more questions when it comes to discussing the issue of the population's reaction. For the overwhelming majority of Soviet citizens, the collapse of the USSR became a tub of cold water. People came to the referendum, casting their votes for the preservation of the unity of the Motherland. But the top management decided everything for themselves long ago, having decided on the political future.

The Day channel has a story about this release, the central figure of which is a veteran of the Soviet and Russian special services, a man who served in the KGB and the FSB - retired colonel Alexander Platonov.

Alexander Platonov:

We, the employees of the state security bodies at Lubyanka, did not just observe the disintegration processes. We took measures to prevent this from happening.

According to Platonov, the process of collapse began even before Gorbachev came to power.

The guest of the broadcast talks about the events of the 1980s, including the strange behavior of Mikhail Gorbachev during his business trip to Canada.

The plot tells about the role of the CIA in the operation and processes for the collapse of the Soviet Union:

"It began even before Gorbachev came to power": KGB veteran talks about the processes of the collapse of the USSR

To think that the collapse began with Gorbachev can only ... Khrushchev laid the foundation for the possibility, while Andropov could have any structure, mechanisms of collapse, but it was inevitable.

[Egoza]

Quote: Mavrikiy

collapse mechanisms could be any, but it was inevitable.

There was simply no one who would take the ice ax in his hands. Then we would have seen - is it inevitable or not.

[Shurik70]

The process of collapse began when they officially announced that everyone was equal, and they themselves created special stores, in which they received any deficit that was inaccessible to the rest of the people.
And if at first this was done in order to prevent the employees of the People's Commissariat from starving to death, then later it turned them boyars, and the rest of the people became cattle for them.
Under Stalin, they burned out rot, but he only put those who had to be hanged. And after his death, all this rot bloomed. Stalin laid a strong foundation - it rotted for thirty years before it collapsed.
Even when I went to the army in 1988, I saw that the soldiers were fed peas, and fried potatoes with chicken in the officers' cafeteria. So much for equality with the army brotherhood.
Everything has rotted away. Those who called themselves communists, in fact, only wanted to fill their own pockets. Not all, of course. There were real communists below, but they had no chance to break through to the top.

[paul3390]

The process began under Khrushchev, when the dictatorship of the proletariat was abolished and capitalist elements that were completely alien to it began to be actively introduced into the socialist economy. But the Stalinist system turned out to be so powerful that it took 30 years of efforts by those who were reborn and betrayed by the leaders to finally finish it off.

[Genry]

Quote: paul3390

The process began under Khrushchev, when the dictatorship of the proletariat was abolished

Khrushchev abolished not the dictatorship ... but the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs over the party functionaries who, under Stalin, were periodically cleansed (17th Congress of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks - Congress of the Executed).

[paul3390]

Not. The abolition of the dictatorship of the proletariat meant, according to Khrushchev, that in the USSR type classes had already been destroyed. And since there are no bourgeois elements, then there is nothing to fight with. So they stopped fighting with them. Lieberman's reforms also created an economic basis for the revival of the bourgeoisie.

For the first time, the reader can learn from an eyewitness how the struggle for the preservation of the USSR was going on, which of the high-ranking inhabitants of the Kremlin in the 1990s had a hand in the political and economic occupation of Russia by the West, who and how unleashed the Chechen war, shot the Russian Parliament in October 1993 , introduced Berezovsky to the "family". And why the almighty organization, designed to protect the Russian state, could not prevent this, but saved the country from further collapse.

Valuable informational material

Now is the time when new data on the destruction of the USSR appear. At the same time, liars and traitors become active. The history of our country is being rewritten, myths are being created about the 90s, about those who fought for "democratic change"

Classes were destroyed, even under Stalin. Read the Stalinist Constitution.

[paul3390]

No.
According to article 9, "along with the socialist system of economy, which is the dominant form of economy in the USSR, small private farming of sole peasants and handicraftsmen is allowed by law, based on personal labor and excluding the exploitation of other people's labor."

And this, de facto, is the petty bourgeoisie. The truth is, well, very small.

Poor Tagged One! He was told that the drowning man needs to throw a life preserver. And this oglamon dropped anchor. Like - finished off, so that they would not suffer. I saw how products were taken out from bases and warehouses and dumped into ravines. It was during the time of Marked and Andropov that I was out of business here. But it was necessary to stick someone in there for the beauty of the list, Andropov approached when he said that the country should be ruled by the people. He died immediately.

The Stalinist system was very effective only for the specific historical conditions of the post-revolutionary limited restoration and only taking into account the personality of Stalin himself
Its main flaw is the lack of the possibility of the continuity of power and its adaptation to the conditions of the formation of a consumer society.
The "Marxists-Leninists" were a little tired of their profound analyzes in the spirit of the teachers of the Department of Scientific Communism of the 80s of the last century
In general, the refusal of Stalin and his associates from the world revolution in favor of a pseudo-empire put an end to the first attempt of the left to carry out a global revolution 1.0
Now we see an attempt 2.0, the leftists came from the "rear"

This was the work of the Trotskyists, moreover, at the final stage of the destruction of the USSR.
Since the time of Khrushchev, when a living thought in the ideology of the development of society was suppressed, a bogeyman began to be promoted ... rather a clumsy blank in the form of that very "Marxism-Leninism", but from this blank / blank the whole harmonious and living ideology of Stalin was ripped off - the construction of a harmonious society free people. Socially oriented and socially responsible. Despite the fact that the very theory of socialism (developed socialism) had not yet been fully formalized and developed, the war and the restoration after it prevented. And it is precisely to this - the theory of a developed socialist society that Stalin's last works were devoted.

This is useful .
But the Chinese did not shy away from the Stalinist line, and unlike the USSR (which did not become just because of the rejection of this line), they implemented Stalin's economic and social ideas. And how successful - the whole world now sees ... marveling at the "Chinese miracle".
All the successes in the economic and social development of the USSR owe exactly to Stalin.
And it was a very instructive and revealing experience.
So if we want to live ... and even just to survive ... "There is a sample made" (as the Terrible Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich wrote in his will).

It was at the 22nd Congress of the CPSU. In fact, the party was renamed even earlier, Khrushchev slandered Stalin even earlier.

[Russian jacket]

And there is. The last six months of his service in the border troops he was at the so-called "point." So during the exercises, the officers occupied a small house for their separate dining room. And they cooked separately from the soldiers. It was fun to watch how these figures talked about the military brotherhood, demanded discipline, and then drunken crawled out of their cafeteria ... And this was in the border troops. For the sake of justice, at the outpost, where he was before, the commander ate at the same table with his subordinates. And about nepotism .... The normal state was in the management of the border troops in Vladivostok. When dad is a colonel, head of a department. The son of a lieutenant in the same department .... And how was it then that the same captain from the outpost to make a career? That's how it rotted ...

Quote: Shurik70

Exactly. But the author is disingenuous. The KGB-Schnicks were one of the main initiators of the collapse of the Soviet system. It is not for nothing that they are the main beneficiaries of the current system today. Almost all the leading positions in the country are occupied by people from the "office". They also own the key objects of the economy.

[voyaka uh]

Quite right. The KGB officers realized that economic collapse was inevitable and decided to benefit from this for their caste.

[Vadim237]

The most important source of the collapse of the USSR was the planned distribution economy operating on five-year plans.

[Blacksmith 55]

Shurik, special distributors were created under Lenin, expanded under Stalin. Under him, not only the top management used them, but also everyone who belonged to the NKVD, as well as heads of enterprises.
Under Khrushchev and Brezhnev, they changed.
There was only a call.
The collapse of the country began long ago, and a clear border cannot be drawn here.

[3danimal]

It was inevitable from the start.
And the new elite wanted buns that were inaccessible to most citizens, and only for the sake of the ideology, which said that private trade was taboo (for these same citizens it is good).
Vicious circle..

[meandr51]

As if under Stalin there were no special distributors ... No one has ever experienced the illusion of "equality" or expected it from the authorities. It simply does not exist anywhere and never. So that's not the point at all. The problem was the attitude of the authorities to the people. As soon as it crossed a certain line, the people supported the "Western" opposition. Now the "Western" opposition and the West itself are deprived of the mysterious, radiant and heroic aura. So it became more difficult for the Russian demolition workers to work with the people. But it worked with the Ukrainians.

[Russian News]

the collapse began with the mythology of "special stores"

Would you sign the Malta treaties and the Belovezhskaya Agreement if you were 18 years old? You don't have to make excuses anyway. The state was not defended primarily by those who were supposed to defend it - the KGB, the army, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the OBKhSS, the Politburo and other authorities. The state simply overstrained from mediocre politics. A surplus army and military-industrial complex to the detriment of the living conditions of citizens, subsidies to "young states building socialism", overfeeding of the Baltic and Transcaucasian outskirts to the detriment of the Central zone. However, these sores are still bleeding, delighting our small-town chauvinists.

[Semyonich from the Urals]

Start with Lenin, what really

[Basarev]

The USSR was doomed from the very beginning. Ever since the days when the Leninists hitherto cut a monolithic state into a bunch of almost sovereign kingdoms, where unity was remembered only when a freebie was needed. Russian money, Russian resources, Russian technologies, Russian slaves ... They were extremely widely used in the union republics and national autonomies within the RSFSR without any return. One-way pump. That is, both economically and politically, the collapse of the USSR was inevitable from the very beginning.

[Bobrovsky]

In more detail, who exactly cut. As soon as the central government weakened in February 1917, all sorts of republics jumped out like a devil out of a box. The Bolsheviks were just putting on their shoes, and that already happened. Then try, drive these republics into the region.

[Basarev]

Indeed. The national policy began at 22, just as the Civil Policy ended and the Bolsheviks established themselves in power. However, there were many steps even earlier. The Peace of Brest-Litovsk, the independence of Poland and Finland - were just trial balloons.

Where were the KGB services ..? We caught flies !?

The KGB, like any special service, is just an instrument in the hands of the authorities. He, of course, can accidentally fall on his leg or grab a finger - but no more. It is only in spy series that the secret services stir up something on their own, in real life, without an order from above, they will not even move their tail. So the guilty ones should be looked for not in the KGB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs or in the army - but in the highest echelons.

[Xnumx vis]

It doesn't matter what was wrong in this story. The powerful Ministry of Internal Affairs, KGB, SA, but could not really make a coup in August 1991 .. I remember on that day, under all the steam, from the Sevastopol Bay six Dzheyrans were carried out towards the Caucasus, followed by other ships ... messengers were rushing through the streets - the guides, the officers were running with anxious suitcases ... The city quieted down .. On TV "Swan Lake" ... It's about the resignation of power by Gorbachev .. In the morning we congratulated each other ... Everything will now be in order .. And at this time the KGB in Moscow could not take Yeltsin and other aktyvists by the gills ... A strange coup .. But the head of the KGB supported him !!!

[Cat]

I also remember very well the evening of that day, my wife and I were returning by train from Vinnitsa to Kiev - and in front of Kiev the roads are packed with columns of armored vehicles. And nothing, zilch. In the comment below, I already wrote about the negative selection of the party nomenklatura - they could not even stir up the palace coup. And one more thing: now everyone is surprised - how they could so dirtied the brains of the population of Ukraine. And I'm not surprised, I remember the mood in the late 80s. A very large part of the coup would not support. In short, it's good to be smart in hindsight, and then a lot was not at all obvious.

[boriz]

Read "Red Spring" by Kurginyan. He describes in great detail and clearly how the two departments of the KGB specifically dealt with the collapse. True, then, already with the change of US President Bush to Clinton, one department threw and wiped out the other from the case. But the process was already started.
And the very beginning of the process was laid by Khrushchev. When the rest of the elite realized what they had gotten themselves into, that the West had thrown them, Khrushchev managed to do so much that it was already impossible to stop the collapse. Yes, and there is no one, the real people of the case were pushed aside from the first roles and were led by former commissars. Irresponsible talkers, whose real ceiling is the secretary of the regional committee, is not even the first. So they sailed.

[Pandiurin]

Quote: 30 vis

Question? Where were the KGB services ..? Catching flies !? They knew everything, saw everything, and what?

As in the army there was a commander and also a commissar, the second was in control of the first.
The work of the KGB was supervised by the party control.
From Khrushchev, the KGB was forbidden to take part nomenclature into the development.

Therefore, the KGB could do something against the one who persecutes anti-Soviet jokes, but could do nothing against the party bosses.

And the fish, as they say, rots from the head.

Answer:

Alexander Platonov:
We, the employees of the state security bodies at Lubyanka, did not just observe the disintegration processes. We took measures to prevent this from happening.

Even then, the KGB officers of the late USSR were already engaged not so much in preserving the USSR as in internal squabbles and the search for their future place in life. The period from 1982 to the very end was precisely the same ACTIVE period when the collapse of the USSR was being prepared. It was then that the Baltic countries raised their heads. It was then that separatism began to emerge in the Caucasus. Someone else will object to the fact that the LDPR was created under the patronage of the KGB? And I heard this from an employee immediately after the appearance of Zhirinovsky - a simple charismatic guy who dreamed of washing his boots in the Indian Ocean.
It may seem strange, but in the EBNov period and after, former committee members climbed out into the power and economic structures. In this light, a very odious figure:

Where did this figure come from? How did he end up in that place and in the position that is written in Wiki? And, the funny thing is, no one talks about this person in public ...
We are all the protagonists of a vile spectacle. Mostly as extras, depicting noise behind the scene.

The crowd scene in the theater, depicting the noise of the conversation, says the phrase:
"What to say when there is nothing to say."
This phrase is repeated over and over again to create the background of the talking crowd of people.
Perhaps you can say other phrases, but this is a classic.

Where does this opinion come from? Is this nonsense being taught in schools now? The USSR at the end of the 80s was seething, as the current active ones never dreamed of. And the services are not so simple. The Ministry of Internal Affairs did not support the putsch in general. Employees, in any case, I know how in one of the departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of one rather large city of the so-called. On August 19, the KGB curators were asked to politely not campaign for the putsch and to disappear in order to avoid being impolite.

[3danimal]

The USSR at the end of the 80s was seething, as the current active

I do not argue, but the supporters of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union were NOT active.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs did not support the putsch in general.

Because the leadership of the KGB took part in the coup and it was generally illegal. It is logical.

That's it. I constantly mention this prohibition in all discussions on the topic of the KGB. As for the selection of personnel, everyone who has found the Komsomol remember how the asset was formed - not the most intelligent and honest ones took notice, but those who knew how to smoothly and for a long time tryndet without deviating from the party line. Plus personal loyalty. They then further and moved along the party line right up to the very top. How these "Komsomol members" showed themselves in the 90s, probably many remember.

I am 15 years old and from school I was sent to the district Komsomol conference. I was sitting in the fourth row, and the first secretary of the district committee of the Komsomol spoke directly from the rostrum. I spoke for about forty minutes, very fluently, about the successes of the regional organization. And I sat and admired how it is possible to talk about anything for so long. I myself am not the last talker, but this is the first time I have seen such a master. And then, 20 years later, I happened to be at meetings in the same department several times. Its head was the former first secretary of the regional committee of the Komsomol. Then the talker Gorbachev, also a former Komsomol leader, came to power. And what is interesting is that the last two were an exact copy of the district secretary. A lot of words, seemingly on the case, but about nothing. So they were promoted, these former Komsomol talkers showed their complete worthlessness.

Yes, de facto, the enemies of the communists seized the USSR back in their anti-Soviet Perestroika with their total slander of the Bolshevik Communists and the Chekists, and none of the "Liberator" Gorbachev, who used nonsense that "the USSR collapsed by itself, the USSR was not viable from the very beginning. , The USSR sat on an oil needle, oil prices collapsed, and the USSR collapsed, "and that kind of nonsense, and that it was the communists who seized the USSR during Perestroika, is unable to prove how, without him, they could seize the republics of the USSR, impose themselves into power , its own System, economy, ideology - evil anti-Sovietism / Russophobia.

We are working as it turns out a little in different sectors of the national economy.

Yes, you really have a strange system. How can you demand something from a manager if he cannot influence his staff in any way? I came across this only in the service, which is natural, but in civilian life - never. Here they cut you a piece of the project, the corresponding piece of the budget - and do your best, even if you do it yourself, even if you hire homeless people, nobody cares. The main thing is the result. You can only sympathize - so maybe well, her nafig such a job?

Again you are not talking about that. Judging by the way you describe the state of affairs in your enterprise, it is not a simple worker who is to blame, but your leadership, which is not able to organize a normal work process. They love the work of fools, and the bosses love those who work, but they are not worried about their problems.

This is my provincial opinion

In principle, I agree with your opinion, Gasoline cutter!
At that time, in the 1980s, I had a lot of communication with the mountains (a fairly large city in the South-East of the Ukrainian SSR) Komov and regional committee party commissars (you can say that I was also persistently "invited" to the "nomenclature", but having recognized these "leading members parties and the Komsomol "and" their morals "from close range, honestly, considered it unacceptable for himself to" join "there and" get along ", remained in principle" with the working people ", did not want to" stamp on people's heads "and parasitize the working people, although all those "friends" and "acquaintances" even "during perestroika", at the end of the 80s, had already stuck to the "money of the party and the Komsomol", and warm places in the "organs", from where they later "covered" organized crime and the "initial seizure of capital" ...) their "attached employees of the committee", well, with our factory "pioneers" ...
Even then, destructive "tendencies" were clearly visible, but all this "collapse" was led "from above (" the fish was rotting from the head "!!!)" - the Central Committee of the CPSU and its structures "on the ground."
At the direction of the party organs and under the auspices of local "committee members", nationalist "Rukhs (Movements)" were created, to the leadership of which "recruited" dissidents "- controlled" informers of the committee "with a" suitcase of compromising evidence "for each development of the "process of perestroika", having come to power in the national republics, they immediately began to destroy, under the name of "opening archives", by the way, at that time we also found out who wrote denunciations of our grandfather and accused him of "counter-revolutionary activities"), so here in the Ukrainian SSR it was and so, I am sure, it was in other republics of the Union ...

In general, I can roughly imagine what this former "committee member" can tell, but still I will listen to this interview tomorrow, at work (and today I want to watch an interesting feature film) and, maybe. I will also write a comment about that.

The most lousy precondition for the collapse of the Soviet Union (as well as the political instability of the current post-Soviet "regimes") I considered and still believe, first of all, is disrespect for people, their human personality, lies and hypocrisy ("they said" one thing, but "thought and did" another !) authorities and the fact that "they are terribly far from the people" - because. the abyss between those in power (and their "lured" servants playing at the "elite", in their essence they are not just "temporary workers"!) and the working people (with whom "not everything is so simple" too!) becomes deeper and wider , alas!
This "deep failure" is being subtly exploited by "coming from the rear" and "acting comprehensively" by the enemies of our common Russian Fatherland!

Well, in order to really "turn this page of history", so that a psychological "gestalt" occurs in the minds of millions of former USSR citizens, the vile Jew Michael Gorby (preferably members of his gang) to the Russian authorities (as if they took on the burden of USSR continuity ?! ) should (in no case tell the authorities of the Russian Federation what to do, and I absolutely do not have such powers - these are just my "thinking aloud" -type "if only if only"!) to officially deprive all Soviet and Russian awards (and to appoint a pension the same as Alyaksandr Lukashenka appointed to “Belovezhtsa” Shutkevich, to whom the Belarusian authorities have thus indicated his dastardly place, and sits there, doesn’t bark, “doesn’t shine,” as “the despicable Bullseye” starts teaching everyone for any 'reason' ) and publicly give-brand this "mazurik" that "definition" that he deserves, and not shower this def..destructive mzeravite with "all state honors"? !!

Let's already admit that these processes were based on the attitude of the people to their homeland. They laughed at her, considered her backward and not promising ... They condemned repression, laughed at political economy. And then they went to a referendum and voted for the sovereignty of the republics. And now, after the lapse of 30 years, the majority has not realized what has been done. They also laugh, condemn, think that they will be able to survive without their homeland. Do you think it will work out?

For any adequate person, it remains a mystery how it happened.

In this case, I am not "any adequate person." A joke about the colonel's son, who will never be a general, remember?
De facto, over time, private ownership of the means of production "happened" in the Union. When factories, newspapers and steamships began to be handed down, in fact, by inheritance.
It's the same story with government posts of all levels. The new nobility took shape over three generations.
Hereditary, by that time, the elite simply decided to turn de facto into de jure. Just business.
The weak point of the whole theory is that the state, which should own the means of production, is not some abstract entity. In fact, the state is represented in this interaction by only people. With all that it implies.

[Knell wardenheart]

Here, many look at the collapse of the union as something unnatural, as an absurd chain of bad things. This is a wrong view - the USSR was a deeply sick country, inside which people were forced to live in a way they did not want to live, to believe in what they were not interested in, to cram and always look around and include in their lives a host of things that were unnatural for their culture, areas of interest, intelligence and hobbies. All this could "function" long enough, as the body is connected to life support systems, but the trouble is - these systems in the 80s began to malfunction one by one. The question of why they began to fail is not so important - it is surprising that it dragged on for so long, given what huge funds the state was stupidly poured into bypassing the basic needs of its own population. We always had money for some Nasser, and never so that "sausage trains" full of people who were "unlucky" to live in cities with the wrong level of supply would stop coming to Moscow. Some parts of the USSR are worthy of nostalgia, but the system as a whole was terrible, stupid and soulless, and to admit this was not much different from today's.

Exactly! It is naive to believe that the independent existence of rotten and healthy parts is possible in the state mechanism. And it is even more naive to believe that a healthy powerful state can be destroyed by individual traitors.
And the pinnacle of naivety is the opinion that at the moment when the traitors received absolute power in the country and all its property, they suddenly became puzzled by the problem of the country's prosperity and the welfare of its citizens.

Gorbachev was only an instrument of disintegration, and his weapon was perestroika and glasnost, under the slogan of which the consciousness of the masses was broken. Everyone began to print and shoot: with delight and breath, find fault with the past and praise the present there, and so on. Under all this mess, a deficit of everything and everything was artificially created that gave rise to discontent and the guilty were appointed. Then, especially cunning, power-hungry three traitors - separatists signed a libel. But that's not all. The so-called breakup referendum, having deceived the peoples, hammered a nail into the lid of the coffin. The collapse and alienation of organs of a previously integral system continues to this day.

[MelkorAintGood]

The union was economically doomed either to cardinal reforms with a move to the market as in China, or to disintegration, which happened. In words there was socialism, in deeds - state capitalism with a pseudo-social bias. Think for yourself, what were the prospects, if communism (lack of money, state, universal benefits for all) is possible only in the size of the entire planet? If a country is surrounded by capitalist countries and at the same time conducts trade with them, then by default it will be the same capitalist country, only poor, no matter what the authorities of this country declare. What difference does it make who distributes salaries and sets prices in stores, market mechanisms or mossy officials in the endless corridors of ministries? Conceptually, this is the same thing, only the decaying West provided quality and choice, which Soviet people never had in anything.
In words, equality, in fact - non-jurisdictional nomenclature and special distributors (and other special things).

Quite right. All the classics of Marxism, including Lenin, said that a change in the social formation should be preceded by a change in the basis, the emergence of enterprises with a radically higher level of labor productivity, the development of which is impeded by the previous system of social relations. But Soviet "socialism" did not at all become a society with higher labor productivity. And this means that there was no socialism.

I don’t want to talk about that time. I am more worried about the present. There are too many radical patriots. Perhaps this is something that pleases the soul. But I am sure in the future, and the state itself will not be happy about them. A year ago, I heard prison slang from a respected political scientist. Further more. It remains only to finish - "The century will not see the will." Who is it for? And then on VO one proudly says, they say he is a Nazi. This person does not understand who our fathers and grandfathers fought. Yesterday I watched a TV program about the threat of numbers. People began to fear the future, because they transfer their subconscious fear for the present to the future. If this survey had been 50 years ago, the result would have been different.

Since the time of the Slavic-Aryan Vedas, it has been known what the state should be like. These rules are enshrined in India in the system of caste society, although it may be that their rigid fixation interferes with the understanding of the true meaning.
In short, people in the country are divided into people - 70%, merchants - 15-20%, and warriors (rulers) 5-10%.
The people live and earn their living by handicrafts, traders in trade, warriors make sure that there are no distortions. For merchants to tithe their income for the benefit of the people, etc.
If the people come to power, they begin to spread rot on the traders, if the traders - on the people. These two estates will never understand each other. The merchant will sell his own mother if it is profitable for him, the people do not understand him.
If it is profitable for the merchant, he will betray his country with ease.
As the warriors ceased to control the merchants, everything went wrong. In the USSR, merchants came to power and sold everything they could, and betrayed everything they could for money and material goods. This is still the case. The people hate them, understand everything, but can not do anything. Warriors cannot take power, therefore they cannot restore order.
In China, traders are not given power, they are controlled by the party (rulers and warriors), so they are developing.

My grandmother was a communist, and at one time she was a communal woman at the end of the 70s, she said that there was an owner under the tsar, we had an idea, now there is nothing, it cannot last so long - everything will collapse.
The illiterate collective farmer understood everything even then, but educated tupariks still whine, - Gorbachev ruined her. The system was deceitful, rotten, that's why it collapsed, now America is following this path, they are breaching something else, but what's the difference, they have broken away from reality.

Let me remind you that the KGB was an armed detachment of the CPSU, or rather the Central Committee of the CPSU, which was the nest of traitors to the interests of the people of the country. And this is the result of the rebirth of the "elite", whose intellectual level could not cope with the solution of the problem, which was written by them in the form of programs.
It was the successive rise to power of less and less intellectual members of the CPSU, which began with the arrival of Khrushchev (a Trotskyist and a volunarist), that led to the collapse of the USSR. The KGB, on the other hand, was subordinate to the Central Committee and began to serve the interests of the Central Committee more and more, and not the defense of the country. Hence the line of traitors in the KGB who held high positions. And who promoted them up the career ladder. who patronized them?
Yes, the Communist Party has rotted! From here everything sprouted.

The CPSU and the CPSU Central Committee had a very democratic charter; all leadership positions are elective and accountable to congresses and assemblies. The party was open to "an influx of fresh forces from the people." This killed her.
"the country of slaves - the country of masters" did not choose such chiefs for itself, who threatened it.
It is good that in the "new Russia" elections have become "virtual". Either "the people are silent" or they open their mouths without a sound. Otherwise it would have been an order of magnitude worse.
There is at least some kind of “elite,” but it really doesn’t depend on the people at all. This is the only chance for the country to survive.

In the "land of slaves - the land of masters" it could not be otherwise. Read Saltykov - Shchedrin; "The story of a city" ... the final turned out to be straight, like that of a classic. The foolish people opened their mouths open and did not understand themselves. what happens to them.

1. There were no more traitors in power than "under Stalin," just never until the end of the 80s, they did not enjoy the mass support of the population. specifically Yeltsin. Gorbach, whatever one may say, can ONLY be blamed for the fact that he did not cope with the situation and did not give the order to bomb Viskuli in December 1991.

2. The USSR was destroyed by its citizens, primarily the citizens of the RSFSR, who elected Yeltsin and the Supreme Soviet, which adopted the separatist "declaration of independence" on June 12, 1990.

3. after Stalin, the USSR grew economically from the Stalinist level as well as from the tsarist level under Stalin. fairy tales about some kind of "peo-romantic collapse" were invented exactly by those who chose Yeltsin: they say, come on, there was nothing to ruin, and we are not to blame.

Great Russia united the free forever into a union of indestructible republics. Of course, they did not score about Lenin, but there was not a word about Stalin. Stalin hoped there was such a plan, in 1955 to announce a vote on who wants to enter a single union. At the same time, the country would be governed by voters, and would have been executed by specialists appointed by a special committee. In general, everything was supposed to be like during the war, the country was ruled by engineers, and the party was on the parcels and taught the people, that is, teachers, and other specialists who managed the directions of love for the motherland. There would be a single country, but without a king with representatives of each nationality. And the communists are songs, dances hopak, bull's-eye.

It was under Gorbachev that the Buran project was curtailed and allowed to organize a joint venture, that is, Joint Ventures. Where I worked at the Research Institute of Introscopy, many departments began to be transformed into joint ventures, and the institute was engaged in non-destructive testing and was a leader in the USSR in instrument-making in the field of non-destructive testing. And from the joint venture to the simple clearing of the territory for lease for foreign companies, this is how the leader in instrumentation in the field of non-destructive testing ended before the 90s !!! They developed unique impact and acceleration sensors, and then all this was absorbed by the American company Endevko. I have not forgotten anything and I remember all the years from 1985 to 1999. Only with the arrival of Vladimir Putin began to change the picture, to revive science, the military-industrial complex and the Armed Forces of Russia. So, therefore, for me, Vladimir Putin is the Man who should be in power and not give the infidels to the holy of holies, into the Defense of Russia !!!
