"Izborsk Club" proposed the idea of "Big Tug" of Russia
What is the Big Jerk? According to members of the Izborsk club, this is “The only exit for Russia from the systemic crisis that has developed in the world. The Big Jerk is impossible without the transformation of the entire post-Soviet space, where the state again becomes the main subject of politics. For this, a new type of elite is needed that would have a national consciousness. ”
The document consists of eleven sections covering the problems of politics, economics and social structure of Russia in the 21 century. Particular attention is paid to the military-industrial complex and the country's defense. The authors argue that the unfolding global crisis carries with it a “chance for Russia”, but only if it is mobilized according to a specially developed and proposed scenario.
A significant part of the program paper of the Izborsk Club is devoted to ideology: “For detailed elaboration of the ideology of a mobilization project, it is necessary to single out a special structure with political will, independent of the influence of the corporate lobby and the interweaving of personal and clan official interests. Such a body can be called the Strategic Council of Russia, ”the report’s authors suggest.
As you know, the Izborsk club was established in September 2012 in the city of Izborsk, Pskov region. The club’s institutions were initiated by well-known public-political, literary-publicistic and scientific figures of Russia of a state-patriotic orientation. The "highlight", a sign of the club that distinguishes it from other Russian socio-political entities, is that for the first time in modern Russian stories unification took place on a common platform of “white”, promonarchic and “red”, pro-Soviet imperials-statesmen. The catalyst for the unification was the reaction to the ongoing political crisis in Russia, to the belolentochnoe comprador movement.
It draws attention to an unusually representative composition of participants. Among the 25-ti permanent members of the club writer and editor in chief of the newspaper "Tomorrow" Prokhanov (club chairman), director of the Institute for Globalization Problems Delyagin, President of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems Leonid Ivashov, editor of the magazine "However" Mikhail Leontiev, advisor to the president of Russia Sergei GlazyevDirector of the Institute of Dynamic Conservatism Vitaly Averyanovwriter publicist Maxim Kalashnikov (V.A. Kucherenko), "Eurasians" Alexander Dugin и Valery Korovin, economist, publicist Mikhail Khazin, the ideological leader of the public organization "Trade Union of Citizens of Russia" Nikolai Starikov, editor-in-chief, Literary Gazette Yuri Polyakov, clergyman of the Russian Orthodox Church, Archimandrite Tikhon (Shevkunov) and others. All of them are people who are known for their critical attitude towards the liberal model of development of the country and have been defending the original vector of the Russian path for decades.
The ideological direction of the Izborsk club can be described as social conservatism, the synthesis into a single ideological platform of various views of Russian statesmen (from socialists and Soviet patriots to monarchists and Orthodox conservatives). The Izborsk club is often regarded as an alternative to numerous liberal-oriented venues that have long been claiming the expression and intellectual service of the official policy of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the Izborsk club reflects a mature and long-established political-ideological pole, which for a long time could not be formalized by virtue of targeted regulation of the expert field by the authorities in charge of domestic policy.
The initial hypotheses regarding the creation and activities of the Izborsk club mainly lie in the plane of relations with the official authorities. According to some observers, this is another Kremlin’s managed “project” designed to bring together the most dangerous critics of the authorities and give them the opportunity to “let off steam to the whistle” ili-feyskontrol-v -izborskom-klube.html).
Other experts also associate the establishment of the Izborsk club with the Kremlin’s initiative, but with the significant difference that the Izborsk club, according to the president’s idea, should play the role of a tool that is clean from Western influence and corruption, with which the vector will finally change. development of Russia.
The reaction of the authorities and Putin personally to the activities of the Izborsk club is still unknown. The “electors” themselves position themselves as a force independent of the will of the Kremlin. In their opinion, a lot of comprador-liberal evil spirits have accumulated in the levers of governing the country, and the media are simply captured by them. Moreover, members of the Izborsk club believe that liberalism is spiritually closer to the country's leadership. The near future, as they believe, should show whether Putin accepted the outstretched hand or all of his patriotic pro-imperial rhetoric - no more than a populist maneuver. At the same time, in the conditions of the developing political crisis in the country, the growing efforts of the West to annihilate the Russian state, the president may not have an alternative but to rely on the intellectual forces of the Izborsk club.
