Behind every attempt to destroy Russia is her own “elite”

Historical Russia's experience convincingly shows that it is a matter of national and state importance - not to try to adapt self-appointed "elites" to public benefit, but to educate and put forward new ones.

An indispensable condition for the success of any nomenklatura revolution in Russia is the desire of the elite to arrange this revolution for their corporate purposes. “The indignation of the masses” and even “reliance on the interventionists” is just an accompanying toolkit.

About troubled times ...

Four hundred years ago, Russia experienced a political crisis. The crisis, which above all can be called a crisis of power. After the death of the great sovereign Ivan the Terrible, the ruling elite for many years could not come to a political consensus. It is the internal elite confrontation that led (as the crisis developed) to the involvement of external players in the internal political struggle - Poland, Sweden, pursuing their goals and defending their interests. This is on the one hand. On the other hand, the opposing elite clans sought support not only outside, but also among the people. Boyar groups tried to use popular indignations caused by crop failures and famine years in their own interests in the struggle for power or for participation in power.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the main mechanism of the Time of Troubles is the struggle for power within the political elite. At the same time, the hostage of the bout, on the one hand, and the tool, on the other, was the people, their rebellion and outrage. Only if a part of the political elite and / or external actors gain (seize) a function that controls the popular outrage (discontent), can this lead to a real revolution and a change in the political structure of the country.

I want to specifically note that all the Troubles took place exclusively in the capital. And only then it was in the provinces that the militia forces were formed, restoring statehood in Russia.

The so-called popular outrage in itself never has a different perspective than bloodshed, robbery, theft, pogroms and violence. If other players do not stand behind popular riots and indignations (external forces or part of the elite), then the “Russian revolt, senseless and merciless,” ends sooner or later with nothing from the point of view of imperious political changes in the country. However, it is always possible to plunder and plunder. Such was the fate of the uprising and Ivan Bolotnikov in the Time of Troubles, and Stepan Razin, and Yemelyan Pugachev. A people as a rebellious crowd is never a real bearer of political goals. Such is only the political elite. The end of the Troubles and the victory of Russian statehood were based primarily on finding political consensus within the Russian elite, its rejection of any cooperation with foreign players and the support of this consensus by the people.

Who destroyed autocracy

Soviet historiography called the abdication of the sovereign Nicholas II the throne "February bourgeois-democratic revolution", which is true to a certain extent. However, it would be more accurate to call this revolution “military-oligarchic”.

The indignation of the residents (mainly residents) of the capital by the fact that in Petrograd there was no bread for the second day in the shops — the design is artificial and in a certain sense demonstrative. The “revolutionary situation” due to the lack of fresh bread developed only in the capital, and relatively few people took to the streets of the city - for a generally trivial reason that could easily be eliminated or not allowed at all.

In fact, by February 1917, an oligarchic conspiracy was organized inside the ruling political elite, in which high-ranking military officials were involved, corrupt in the process of supplying the means of war to the troops. It was the tsarist generals who in fact forced Nicholas first, and then Michael, to abdicate the throne and transfer power to the so-called Provisional Government. This renunciation was not motivated by any real demand from the people for the overthrow of the king. The king as an institution prevented the then political clans and oligarchic groups from fighting for power and for the possibility of the formation of superprofits. The difficulties of wartime and sabotage, which fueled popular indignation, became in the hands of the elite groups striving for power the instruments of overthrowing the king.

The role of German intelligence in these and subsequent events (the October seizure of power by the Bolsheviks) has been studied fairly well. However, the role of the British Crown is no less interesting. Britain is the driving belt of intervention and the Civil War in Russia. In this war for more than four years, we have killed ourselves.

There is currently no exact final data on the number of victims of this Big Troubles. According to weighted average estimates, about 10,5 million people were killed on the fronts, suffered from “red” and “white” terror, from banditry, from hunger and epidemics. The fact that after such losses and such self-destruction, the country was able to withstand and only twenty years later win the most terrible war in the history of mankind (the Great Patriotic War), is incredible.

At the same time, the victory of the Reds was largely due not only to the popularity and intelligibility of socialist (communist) rhetoric, but also to the fact that the Reds opposed themselves to foreign intervention, and the whites, on the contrary, relied on it. The lessons of the First Time of Troubles (1593 — 1612 years) were repeated once again: those who strive for power in our country, relying on external support, ultimately do not have success.

Intellectuals as a consumable for party nomenclature

The so-called perestroika, and then the collapse of the USSR, is a purely elite project and only elite. The masses of the people were included in it strictly according to plan and according to the plan they were used in a rude and cynical form.

By the 70 years, the Soviet nomenclature for the most part understood that the power of families and clans within the Soviet system is irreproducible. The constant threat of cleansing. At best, children and grandchildren can inherit an apartment, which, moreover, can always be taken away. Even a device for the prestigious work of the heirs was possible only while the parent was "in the cage." The nomenclature is tired. It became clear that further will only get worse. And the Soviet elite really took care of how to make their "elitism" hereditary. In addition to the formation of family capital, the nomenclature could not invent a different system of reproduction of power.

The USSR was doomed, since a significant part of the Soviet elite set itself precisely this goal. And this goal coincided with the aspirations of external players. The rest was, as they say, the matter of technology. It was necessary to organize and skillfully direct discontent and popular outrage. And there was a lot of dissatisfaction: who was annoyed by the lack of consumer goods, some by the lack of a sufficient set of foodstuffs, who were both deficient at the same time, and who were privileges of the party nomenclature. Much in our life did not like, and this discontentment was specially formed, created and intensified.

By the way, the fate of the USSR referendum is curious. With a seemingly large number of disgruntled people, the people did not want the country's disintegration. Those who entered the so-called defense of the White House in August 1991 of the year did not want to destroy the Soviet Union in the least, did not anticipate the Belovezhsk Accords and began the "construction of capitalism" in our country. The defenders of the White House were only outraged at the attempt to seize power by a group of unsympathetic comrades - greatly frightened and having an insane hangover look.

By the way, the same today, those who gather in Bolotnaya argue that in no case do they want neither civil war, nor revolution, nor the collapse of the country. They simply resent how the votes in the parliamentary elections were counted.

It should be understood that those who play in the Big Political Games are absolutely not interested in why (or why) people actually go outside. Their task is to use ANY popular indignation for their own purposes.

Then, at the end of 80's, it was not difficult. Moreover, the Soviet population is a highly educated population. Moreover, it is idealistically educated, therefore susceptible to ideological treatment. The Soviet population did not want and did not know how to live without ideology. The communist worldview was deliberately destroyed, arguing that now there would be no ideology at all, in fact replacing the communist way of thinking with the ideology of the market and liberal democracy. With the same force with which the Soviet people believed in communism, they believed in the bright future of liberal capitalism. The Soviet intelligentsia, prone to fantasies and actively helpless (“give me freedom, then I'll show it!”), Is the most fertile material to use in the dark. She and used in full in the "struggle for freedom."

* * *

The so-called “protest activity”, which stirred up in December 2011, is not fundamentally different from the one described above. And here the “creative class” has absolutely nothing to do with it, nor “disgruntled citizens”.

What unhappy left on the square? Many: fair elections, migrants, the Russian question, conditions for business, corruption, fatigue from Putin, freedom of sexual minorities, or lack of freedom of sexual minorities. In general, as we already know, it is completely unimportant what exactly they do not like. The question is how these crowds are used.

It is already obvious that all these various “discontent” are skillfully replaced by one, but the main and principal discontent - “Down with Putin!”. Because it is obvious that in a normal, fair and legitimate election, Putin wins. The overthrow of Putin is the main and already practically declared goal.

And this goal is clearly imposed on “angry citizens” from the margins of the next intra-elite confrontation. The main question is how much the participants in this confrontation are ready to defend their clan interests through the new Troubles. And it is better to get rid of this dependence.

    The so-called aristocracy (although the bearers of this title are often worse than Neanderthals) often lives in isolation from the needs of the common people, the majority, on which everything rests! It is from this that they break what they did not build.

      a peasant club, unfortunately, most often kicks the brains out of the heads of other peasants. And then you have to save the country from these peasant clubs, which immediately begin to be controlled by those who do not give a damn about how a peasant lives in Russia - usually they have other goals - just weakening the country and, therefore, worsening the lives of those same displeased men. But men don’t know ...

    By the 70s, the Soviet nomenclature for the most part understood that the power of families and clans within the framework of the Soviet system was not reproducible. The constant threat of purges. At best, children and grandchildren can inherit an apartment, which they can always take away. Even applying for the prestigious work of the heirs was possible only while the parent was “in the cage”. The nomenclature is tired. It became clear that it would only get worse. And the Soviet elite really took care of how to make their “elitism” hereditary. In addition to the formation of family capital, the nomenclature could not come up with another system of reproduction of power. [/ Color]

    Gold words!!!!! And no conspiracy theories are needed. The CPSU has merged the country and the state. Gorbachev - papier-mache hands, threads - "up and into the dark." the west only took advantage of and pushed.
    I will believe in the Russian state power only when, at the level of the President's Address to the people, the names and surnames, the role of the State Security Service, the role of the top leadership of the power structures, the volume of party assets withdrawn abroad are announced.

      That's right. Not from the collapse of the Soviet Union, that a few traitors wound up in it. Most of the nomenclature simply rotted in the bud. And by the way, it seems that perestroika was one of the most effective ways ... to destroy all these degenerates along with their heir kids!
      Because they accumulated money and property ... and who guaranteed it to them that they would keep all this ?! Under the conditions of wild capitalism, that is, a predatory battle between everyone and everyone, that dumb, mean and evil dad, that no less dumb, but also pampered and weak kids, all of them showed a very low potential for survival! Which is to be expected. Only they did not expect, they were not selected to the nomenclature for the brains, which was not what was not.
      Such an elite that we had rules in the 80 were not able to cope with a great country (by the way, staff members were afraid of this panicky, rightly believing that the short-witted parthush would try to get out in the form of a large-scale war. They underestimated the cowardice of those who even tried to forbid karate classes!) . The USSR was already dead when it fell, I'm sure of it. Will the new construction of the Power succeed in us, is our potential as a country exhausted?
      It will depend on whether we find unifying principles and goals. Because "we will get more coal ... for Abramovich on a new yacht" is not the slogan that will cement our unity. And "gobble up" is for the Americans. That is enough for them ... It is very, very dangerous to hope for the accomplishments of the past. The Great Victory is our everything. Yes, but she ALREADY WAS. If the REAL future in the Russian understanding does not await us ...

      Basically aviamed90 answered. I can only add that I would not be so categorical about the "first Swamp". It’s not a matter of Putin personally, but of the course he is pursuing. Of course, judging by the speeches of the "lamp-bearing" or "three-volt", then there is no greater benefit for the country. But if you look at the growth of tariffs, the prices for energy resources, which are higher than in those countries where there are no such carriers, and there are various little things like education with Livanov or defense with Serdyukov, then the optimism of the above, as well as the author of the article, is strongly questioned. As a result of this doubt and lack of confidence that the United Russia is really loved by the people, it came out to the Bolotnaya majority. And that representatives of the family of ungulates climbed onto the podium, which are the majority of them, is not without the help of the authorities. It is clear that Russia will not follow them.

        Clear. I also have big complaints about the country's leadership. Many things are generally inexplicable .... But the author of the rights to all 100 is that if the change of power occurs through the "swamp", it is always worse. all the more so if you look at those who lead the protest movement, and who, accordingly, would have come to power if the opposition's actions were successful in overthrowing the legally elected government (well, you must admit that it is the leaders of the victorious political movements that come to power) ... then I want to agree with the author in everything ...

I became interested in him before the creation of the PGR, then he urged them to unite - I was even delighted, finally, but when he announced the details, I realized that there was no question of unification, but just the creation of another organization on a patriotic wave, that is, many were already disappointed and became easy extraction of fresh "ideas".

      I answer. However, in the beginning I will say that the conclusions are, in principle, correct. But:
      Everything is too simplified. An attempt to fit into a short article what you cannot squeeze into volumes.
      The weakness of the king and his power - this is the main reason for the revolution. In ten years, a similar dilemma will arise before Stalin and he will solve it, once and for all.
      Controversial theses about reliance on external forces - the Bolsheviks came to power relying on these forces, but then they surprised the whole world when they "sent" these forces far and for a long time to Genoa.
      Controversial and conflicts in the elite of the USSR.
      I repeat that the conclusions are correct. Bulk, Udaltsovs, Nemtsovs - all this is pop Gapon of modern Russia, in other words - provocateurs looking for their profit on the money of the Customer. And our authorities need to remember what the resulting weakness leads to.

      I would venture to answer. First, the author went too far into history. The Post-Ivanovo Time of Troubles is rather muddy, as it was described almost two hundred years later and with a clear reason to explain the ascension to the Russian throne of the German Romanov family. February 1917 is also a very turbulent time (unlike October), by that time the generals had changed a lot, they were mostly fighting and hardly killed a lot. Somewhat later, the same generals who created the Red and White armies, but certainly did not use the St. Petersburg "riots" for their own selfish purposes. The author's surprise at the ability of the USSR, after a civilian with multimillion victims, to win the Second World War is apparently explained by his rejection of the role of genatsvale Dzhugashvili. Personally, I also consider it tasteless, but this "" really made a fortress out of the country. With the outbreak of the war, he gave in, but without what Stalin did from Russia in the thirties, not a single Zhukov-Konev-Rokossovsky war would have won. Further closer to reality, but ... The author exaggerates too selfish motives of our nomenclature (in terms of leaving the children with back-breaking labor). At the time of Khrushchev-Brezhnev, they were more afraid of the arrival of the second Stalin, who stupidly rotated all the authorities every three years through camps and executions. Note that neither the children of Gorbachev, nor the children of Yeltsin, nor the children of Putin are in power anywhere ... As a result, from the author's creation, there remains a statement of the position that any great construction project ends with the punishment of the innocent and rewarding the innocent ... Sincerely Andrey.

    I'm not happy with all this either. But I am not happy with those who are trying to get into the "leaders" of the opposition. These citizens do not suit me as "leading".
    Maybe because I remember who and what of them is and what I called for in the recent past! These people are not authoritative and compromised. Therefore, I am not with them.

    The author invites this (for some reason calls them "elite") and the rest of the people (citizens of Russia) to shut up and keep silent just to keep Putin in power? Refuse to solve long-overdue problems in the country just for this? And the fact that they are overripe clearly shows zero success in their solution for 3 presidential terms.
    From modesty, the author will not die!

    And a strange statement sounds where the author directly connects the country's refusal from Putin with a new unrest. What are these assumptions based on?
    What? A third option for the development of events and a change of power can not be in principle? And why can't it be?

    Historical parallels, of course, are given, but ...
    We live now! And the situation in the country was exactly the same as it is now! And not in 1917. And it is different from what it was before.

    As long as we keep on "infusions" from TV, tyrnet, etc., the so-called "elite" will drive us like sheep to a rally, then to a demonstration ... or even to war. Everyone is obliged to be an elite, but only in their family and for their children, parents and spouse. I have not visited the site for a long time and I got the impression that many do not want to do anything - that is why they are discussing the "elite". I can only understand people of a respectable age, who, due to their knowledge, experience and wisdom, express their opinions, but young people would be better off developing their families and themselves.

        Exactly. I stood in line at the store. And one aunt moaned that the food is bad, people feed shit, no control, and you say everyone is silent and put up with it instead of protesting. Well, the other tells her that everything is right, but I will not let my husband or son go to the demonstration - burn it all with fire.

    To our revolutions of the twentieth century, as I noticed, historians have recently been attracting everyone - "German intelligence", and the "British crown", and part of the ruling elite, who wanted a bigger pie, but for some reason the fact that both revolutions have the most " "Jews have risen, you don't have to be a historian to read the names of those who, after these revolutions, took off to the highest positions and earned a lot of money on the grief of the common people, for some reason I do not see German, English surnames among them, but" mans "and" ichi " "suspiciously a lot.

    - For each attempt to destroy Russia, there is its own "elite".
    “If your elite holds money in our banks, it is still unknown whose elite it is, yours or ours ...” Z. Brzezinski.
    -Intelligence as a consumable for party nomenclature.
    “The Russian revolutionary socialist intelligentsia crystallized into a special race, into a special breed of people that can be recognized even by their physical appearance, and this race cannot dominate. Her dominance and dominion is anthropological, psychological and moral absurdity .... " (N.A. Berdyaev.)
    “Russia was ruined by the ethnicity of the intelligentsia, the only case in the history of the world forgetting the national idea by the brains of the nation” (A. Sturua)
    "I am not an intellectual - I have a profession."
    Nabokov.
    Nomenclature is a SCARY and UGLY phenomenon. And while THEM real power - there is no prosperity, creation and our unification.

    In general, as we already know, it does not matter what they do not like. The question is how these crowds are used.

    It is already obvious that all these various “discontent” are skillfully replaced by one, but the main and principal discontent - “Down with Putin!”. Because it is obvious that in a normal, fair and legitimate election, Putin wins. The overthrow of Putin is the main and already practically declared goal.

    And who of the so-called elite has set such a goal for himself? The author did not even hint, not only at the personalities, but even at the grouping. And the reason is simple. There is no such grouping in the elite. And those who are, do not belong to the elite. And why is Putin not satisfied with his own elite? The oligarchs have property and money, the "red-haired" Tolik is untouchable, the other Tolik is not subject to jurisdiction, friends and former colleagues are getting richer, the wives of ministers earn ten times more than their husbands, housing and communal services, the energy sector lives their own lives, capital moves freely abroad, state funds " mastered by "billions. No one is really punished for theft, let alone budget milking schemes that do not fall under the Criminal Code, but no less profitable. You can also fail with impunity any business, from defense to education.
    The whole message of the article - Or Putin, or turmoil. Those who are unhappy should keep quiet in a rag, but you see, they are using protest, not those. In general, do not bother Putin to share the country with his elite. There is still something to share.

      It seems to me that the message of the article is much simpler - to go along with the people, then this is not a turmoil, but a truly evolutionary movement, designed for a long-term result, and not for throwing from one extreme to another ...

    The "fish" rots from the head in both personal and public occasions. In the personal, a crafty thought first comes, whether a person accepts it or not, a sinful thought begins, then a sinful act, a sinful act repeated many times turns into a passion that already rules a person. In society, through the personal fall of the higher, a gradual retreat from the truth also occurs, first of individual individuals, then groups are formed, for the sake of their egoistic aspirations they become conductors of destructive ideas for the majority. God openly says "son, give me your heart", does not manipulate and recognizes the freedom of choice for a person (without it, a person would be an animal), and the crafty one (it’s not for nothing that he’s called that way) first gives an outwardly visible “good” thought, even a “just” one. (for example, they pay me little, I am soon underpaid), then the person performs one, two, ..., a hundred and this becomes a passion that requires more and more. For the majority, the phrase "there is nothing to blame on the mirror if the face is crooked." Our "elite" is a section of society, the majority of society wanted a more satisfying life in the late 80s and early 90s, but no one promised that for the majority.

    I’ve never understood the word “elite” as applied to people. I can understand the elite wheat, the elite boar-producer, the elite house in the end! In the first case, the harvest is good, in the second litter, a house with all amenities. And an elite person is how?

      It turns out - a boar-consumer-record holder! :)))) The record holder for the consumption of all goods, especially dodgy in obtaining them, has a serious fighting potential to defend prey from the encroachments of competitors, other representatives of the "elite" ... sometimes he shows the gift of sweet-voiced nightingale, lulling people with melodic grunting in order to further deprivation of material wealth, or misleading them, if people still take him for a crackling for what he did ... the main difference is the physical inability to creative work, fundamental ideological parasitism ...

    It would be very interesting to hear the opinions and arguments of people. rated the article negatively. Why? I beg you to answer.
    Thanks to the author.


    The disadvantages of the article, from my point of view, include a somewhat one-sided consideration of the pre-perestroika period of time, the composition of those forces that contributed to the collapse of the USSR. The role of the strata of the so-called guild workers, which appeared in the Brezhnev era, and maybe even earlier, has not been disclosed. This small group of people, who turned around with large cash flows, had the opportunity, locally, to bribe individual representatives of the party and Soviet authorities, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, providing themselves with a "cover", while corrupting and corrupting the authorities. These people were vitally interested in the destruction of the entire ideology and system of power that existed at that time, because it interfered not only with enrichment, but also with the realization of the acquired by "backbreaking" work. Gradually there was a merger, into the criminal community, of money and power. It is clear that no state can live and develop on such a rotten foundation. In general, the theme of the defeat of a great country has not yet been fully disclosed. What role did the people themselves play in this matter, what role did the intelligentsia play?

    Opposition is not the main thing. Corruption is not the main thing. The crisis of production is not the main thing. The main thing is that the country England exists on planet Earth and its satellite is the USA. I did not make a reservation. For centuries, England has developed techniques for maintaining equilibrium in the world under which it flourished. When the United States arose - and they were included in the instrument of prosperity of the Anglo-Saxons. As long as this ulcer exists, we will not have rest.

    I put a plus, although not everything is indisputable and there is not enough specificity: who were these people from the elite in the USSR? Where are they now? Who, by name, is preparing a revolt against the legally elected president today? If you just shake your finger into the void and threaten with a whisper "I see, I see! Wow, I’m you !!" and at the same time not to name names, why then develop the topic.

      A riot against the president is being prepared by the president himself and the Masonic group around.
      The chain is something like this: sending weapons and people to the rebels in Syria, storming Damascus, Iranian intervention, conflict with Iran, North Korean invasion of Primorye, the war in the Arctic, loss of army, internal unrest, loss of control, self-organization, natural disaster, restoration on a new basis.

    Behind every attempt to destroy Russia is her own “elite”


    Only a change in these very elites every 6-8 years will provide an opportunity for the development of the country. I steered 6 years and if there are no positive results noticeable to every Russian, then welcome to the cage or to the wall!
    The next volunteers to steer - come in!
    And so as not to run away anywhere, the families of the rulers should be surrounded with reasonable comfort, but they should not be allowed out of Russia until the end of the reign. Let them be a kind of state hostage! The head of an elite family was stolen or betrayed - with it households go to hard labor or to the wall!
    Then, then, the empty-bones that want to reign on the Russian throne will immediately decrease!

    The concepts - players, elite, constructions - are very interestingly interwoven into our lives, they simplify, so that it is easier to manipulate consciousness, people are confused with representations of a simple chessboard, like a horse moved (a certain player), and he is a queen (also a player). And about the identity of the nation is silent. As a matter of fact, there was no Russian spirit, Russian Great History, but there were only soldiers who could be moved without loss for the mover. And who is this mover? So you need to think now.

    What is this elite ??? Clans fighting for a piece fatter and when one gang weakens, the other takes power and this is called revolution, unrest, coup, etc. In a word, everywhere is POPSA. It seems they sing - but there’s nothing to listen to, they seem to teach - and all the ignoramuses seem to heal - and everyone dies, they seem to direct - but there is no improvement, and if something is blinded, then they themselves are terrified of what was done.
