Alternative opposition: Russia needs its own "hawks" !?
I postponed the writing of this publication for a day, I wanted to think, is it worth it ..? After all, to say that everything is so bad today in Russia and its foreign policy is not true, but Vladimir Yurtaev’s article “Russia. No alternative fight"Showed what it is worth. All story Russian people and its statehood is based on the struggle for the right to exist, live and develop freely. Even the Americans partially showed and recognized this, namely in that short period of history, when we were allies, a very interesting chronicle through the eyes of the Americans 40's:
But the West has since become radically different, or simply removed the mask, and Russia is no longer the USSR. Russia's current political elite, due to its defeat in the Cold War and the collapse of the 90, is divided, as it were, conditionally on the 2 class. And I will pay your attention, shares, the main thing publicly and conditionally. The first class, actually ruling, - power. And second class - opposition. And the latter, for some reason, is necessarily liberal in form and spirit. In any case, such a picture develops in the information field. Like, damn Putin's dictatorial power and poor disadvantaged liberal opposition ... Of course, there are nationalists and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. In general, the duty "system" opposition. But nationalists, in my personal subjective opinion, will not be able to implement the concept of building a new Russian world. There are many reasons, so as not to go into the discussions, and to go into the jungle, everything is simple and understandable set forth here:
TOP-10 national ideas for Russia
As for the Russian communists. Here opinions differ. On the one hand, and from the point of view of political science, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is ideally suited for the role of such a conservative party, a la "republican" for Russia. Which will periodically change the moderate and at the same time podnadoevshuyu and bureaucratic United Russia. But, as the events of the Swamp December 2011, and the whole of 2011, showed, not everything is so smooth in the CPRF. Sergey Kurginyan explains this very popular, accessible and a little academic.
It's a pity. It is precisely today that Russia lacks another political force that will stand on the principles of even greater patriotism, even greater statehood, and even greater unscrupulousness. We are not talking a bit about the bipolar system in the political model and the system of Russia, but we are talking about a normal, natural position / opposition for the Russian state, a political force that will ask new accents and tasks, and, of course, questions to the current government. If you believe all the "experts" and political scientists there, then allegedly such attempts took place in the Russian modern political life. It seems that the “Fair Russia” should have taken the baton, but something didn’t work, or it wasn’t originally intended to do that. Therefore, we will not guess.
So what should be the other opposition?
Strangely enough, it should also oppose the Putin regime, but constructively, efficiently and fruitfully. First of all, it should meet the aspirations of that part of a large people who today have to vote for United Russia or the Communist Party of the Russian Federation only because they do not let liberals, yesterday’s German, short-sighted nationalists in a multinational country with millions of Russians abroad and other belolentochnikov with American flags. In other words, why many people should begin their speech at anti-orange rallies and problem minutes for the country with the words: “I myself am not satisfied with the policy of the United Russia party, and I have complaints about them, but today, when the Kremlin has an enemy , it stands with white ribbons ... ”I immediately have a question, or maybe it is easier to appeal to that force and choose the force that simply will not allow such a“ belolentochnaya ”gathering at the Kremlin? Understand what you want. For those who have thoughts about acceleration and repression, I will say that I had in mind something else. This is not an admission of the ideological and economic basis for the protest))) Is that easier?
Who is this other opposition? If we take it as a basis, I don’t like the word “electorate”, people who are nostalgic and justifiably nostalgic for the USSR, as well as patriots, workers, people of small business, eager for order. It is all the same, somehow heterogeneous ... How can they formulate a political agenda, if not everyone likes the USSR, others like a market economy, and the third still something? As you can see, "monoideology" can slip a little. From this follows another question: “What emphasis should put the other opposition on the political agenda?”
Definitely no one will be against:
1. State capitalism in the main sectors of the economy
2. State planning of the economy (five-year, three-year, seven-year plan, etc.). Today the world comes to this. The market cannot judge anything.
3. Socialism in the economic life of society (arrange small business, trade unions, etc.)
4. Ideology. Fidelity to the principles of building Russian statehood: the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union. Postulates: Unity, Fatherland, Faith.
This is not enough for the national idea of Russia, but more than enough for the ideological platform of supporters and improving the situation, and adequate responses for the challenges of modern Russia.
And then what place is “United Russia”?
This will be the maximum that a liberal during the Sabbath can afford: “I, of course, have many claims to United Russia, but today I can return the Soviets, Russian imperialism, orthodoxy to the Kremlin, I’ll have to vote for United Russia.” We "belolentochnikam" will not leave a choice. Why do we have to defend all the time? They held a creative rally, and we should leave all the cases, run to Poklonnaya to be considered with the majority with us, to prove that there is also our opinion ?!
How to achieve this? Of course, if we wake up tomorrow, or rather you have already woken up and are reading this in the morning, decide to create a party based on similar and similar principles, then we will still have to wait for complete pshyk ... And not because the “evil” Putin will not allow electoral field, and not because there is no money for the promotion of the party, although it is very important, but money did not help Prokhorov. And because in the country there are a lot of political parties of any orientation, and even the one that you firmly chose in the morning today, outlining its outlines. That question of cooperation, reunification with similar parties and platforms will drag on for years, get involved in political trading, and logically drown ..
What to do? Movement from below, only movement from below ... You can call it conditionally network, you can take the experience of the network structure, don't be scared - the “Muslim Brotherhood” is when not the parties come to power, but ideological forces, and only then these forces form the parties themselves ... Then the people will not need to search for theirs from 150 parties.
You can call yourself whatever you like: “Orthodox Brothers”, “For the Soviet Union”, “Sons of the Patronymic”, the main principles: movement from below, economic and social mutual assistance to each other on the ground, mercy to each other and, of course, the Network.
Is there a base for this? Variants of the sea: the Cossacks, warriors, but at least a new pioneer ... By the way, who likes Kurginyan, this is the "essence of time". The main thing is that initially it is not perceived as sham, symbolic and ritual. Otherwise, why then ...?
Tribute to tradition, ritual or something more?
And this is not an intelligent tea party at a round table ... Do not confuse with this. If we want to change something, we all have a lot of work to do. Recently, I was invited to one interesting event among the Russian Cossacks in Ukraine, be sure to post here a report.
