The state is obliged to protect its unity. Opinions of experts and priests about the new bill
The correspondent of the portal "Pravoslavie.Ru" appealed to one of the initiators of the bill - MP Yevgeny Fedorov - to tell how important it is for Russia to adopt such a law. Russian political and public figure Nikolai Starikov and priests Archpriest Dimitry Smirnov, Chairman of the Patriarchal Commission on Family, Protection of Motherhood and Childhood, and Priest Dimitri Fetisov, Assistant of the Theology Department at Ryazan State University, shared their views on this initiative. S.A. Yesenin.
“The program of liquidation of the Russian Federation by its collapse is under way”
Evgeny FedorovState Duma Deputy:
“When last year we adopted a law on foreign agents, the prosecutor general found out that the amount of funding for political work of international projects organized by the USA against Russia amounts to 3 billion dollars. Including a significant part of this money is directed to the dismemberment of Russia, to support separatism, and also to liquidate the Russian Federation. That is, the separation from Russia of its territories and parts.
Recently, I talked with athletes from different sports federations. They said that a special project had begun: for foreign money, fans of one or the other sports federation were intercepted. This is done in order to deploy young people in the direction of nationalism and the struggle against the Russian Federation. That is, some of the foreign money goes to this. The other part goes to the support of all separatists and their training. Thus, the program of liquidation of the Russian Federation by its collapse is being conducted.
Previously, if some organization took money for propaganda of separatism, for example, a large television channel or some public organization with the money of our ill-wishers carried out propaganda work, then this was not a violation of the law. Now we have patched a hole in our legislation. Actions aimed at promoting separatism are the same criminal case as an attempt at a coup d’état or an attempt to change the political system. Accordingly, it is a similar type of state crime.
In order not to disintegrate our state, every citizen of the Russian Federation needs to engage in serious political work. Otherwise, Russia will die, as, for example, Syria dies under the influence of a foreign invasion, including a terrorist and financial one.
"During the Great Patriotic War, the country did not fall apart, even when the Germans were standing at the border of Moscow"
Nikolai Starikov, Russian political and public figure, writer, publicist:
- Today, they want to dismember Russia by its enemies, geopolitical rivals, the American “partners” and neighboring states - call it what you want: the meaning is the same. The dismemberment of a large geopolitical association is always in the interests of other players. If you look at the map, you can see that there are no more large geopolitical associations than fingers on one hand. Those who want to dismember Russia use different methods that are becoming more and more perfect. Previously, our opponents relied on brute military force, today they use information technology. Pay attention to the method of "biting" the territory. There is a single large state. We begin to say that Ukrainians are not Russians, Belarusians are also a completely different people. Bitten off part of the territory. Thanks to Lukashenko: in Belarus, this number did not pass to the end. But in Ukraine it turned out quite. And what will happen next? Let's start saying that Siberians (Cossacks, Urals, Pomors) are not Russian either. Next we will separate the territories where there are a lot of minerals. Next, we recall that the "bloody regime of Muscovy" destroyed the original civilization of Tver and Ryazan! And Russia is already limited to the Moscow region. Russians as people disappear.
Therefore, today it is very important who is at the head of the country. If patriots are at the head of it, then no matter how difficult the situation is, the country will stand up and will not allow to dismember itself into pieces. During the Great Patriotic War, the country did not fall apart, even when the Germans were standing at the border of Moscow. When the traitors come to power, the country has no defenders - then the country can fall apart. If you want children to not be ill, then you need to develop medicine. If it is necessary for the country to strengthen, it is necessary to adopt legislation that will help punish those who want to dismember Russia. My opinion and the opinion of my colleagues from the Party “The Great Fatherland” (Air Defense) is as follows: for separatist statements and even more so for separatist activities, you should be put in jail. That is why 8 November in the State Duma deputy Evgeny Fedorov and his two colleagues introduced a bill that we have prepared. Already today in the Criminal Code there is a clear and precise punishment for separatism. In many states there is a punishment for denying the Holocaust. Why we can not be punished for denying the integrity of our state?
Of course, one law will not help the cause, so do not forget about the patriotic education of our young people. If you do not fight weeds, the field will overgrow and may die. Similarly, the information field: if you do not block the passage of ideas that are destructive for the state, it will become overgrown with weeds, which is what we are seeing today.
"The law prohibiting the division of Russia is necessary"
Archpriest Dimitry Smirnov, Chairman of the Patriarchal Commission on the Family, Protection of Motherhood and Childhood:
- According to some information, for example, about 1 million Wahhabis live in our country. They want to build a completely different state according to their own ideas. And our state is a Russian state. Also in our country there are other forces that do not like Russia. Our country, of course, wants and must defend itself, therefore the law prohibiting the division of Russia is necessary for us. People who dream of dismembering our state should be deprived of their citizenship - let them go somewhere far away from our borders.
"Kill the matrix"
Priest Dimitri Fetisov, Assistant, Department of Theology, Ryazan State University. S.A. Yesenin:
- Probably, like any sane person, I have always not pathologically tolerated conspiracy. The intrigue-building Jews, masons, the secret world government and other very entertaining theories are suitable, in my opinion, more for the plot of the gutter novel.
It is often necessary to observe how the immersion of a single person into the world of secret conspiracies and theories gives at least a loser syndrome, who sees the cause of his disorder only in external factors. And as a maximum, clinical paranoiac, perceiving the world exclusively in black and white, and with scanty patches of white.
However, common sense more and more often does not allow to see only elemental processes in the surrounding reality. By a strange coincidence, many Orthodox, and not only countries, have long been “shaking”. Serbia cruelly torn; a beggar, almost deprived of sovereignty Greece; restless Cyprus, Georgia and, of course, Ukraine - the list can be continued for a very long time.
For the first time in my life, I believed in a conspiracy theory six or seven years ago, when a friend of mine told an interesting journalist history about his participation in the youth section of the International Congress of Journalists in Moscow. The young talented girl, who gave high hopes, was, like dozens of other young talents from many provinces of our broad country, met at the highest level. She participated in “adult” events, and then in lectures for young journalists, primarily on copyright protection and ... the benefits of introducing juvenile justice.
Celebrities sang at a fabulous banquet with countless delicacies, guests were taken out of town for barbeques and excursions ... Of course, most of the young guys and girls, having been at the event of this level for the first time, were delighted. And they were given to understand that everyone has the opportunity to attend the next congress for free, which, by the way, will be held in the sunny city of Sochi.
But in order to go there, it is necessary, after returning home, to make a mere trifle - to write an article in the local press about the need to introduce juvenile justice in the territory of the Russian Federation. Do you understand? So much money was spent, organizational forces for one small little article, which each of the new participants in the “democratic process” will sprinkle. And I was not aware of the fact that the “senior participants of this process were“ asked at home ”... My friend, by the way, did not go to Sochi. But not because she is allergic to the sun, but because she, as an Orthodox person, instead of the laudatory song, Yuu, in a local Orthodox edition, presented a little bit of her concern for “great journalism”.
I also had a chance to hear firsthand how the members of the Protestant sects, even outside this state, were mobilized for the Orange Revolution in Ukraine. The prepaid event (tickets, food, accommodation) was organized so clearly and harmoniously that he could be envied by any army. Why am I saying all this? To the fact that I now have no doubt at all: the sudden statements of various liberal figures about the necessity and inevitability of dividing the Russian Federation into parts somehow appeared, this is serious. This is the probing and preparation of the informational soil, as is the case with the economic crisis, for which the media “morally prepared” us strongly in advance. I can not rule out that this is part of a certain general plan. The plan, attempts to implement which we may see in the near future. And it is not known whether, as in the case of Yu, it will even slow down a little. Indeed, the complexity of the situation lies in the fact that to some extent the disintegration has already begun, because the fault of the state that entrusted the entire humanitarian sector to the “autonomous” principle of market relations, culture actually disappeared as a connecting link between various citizens of our Fatherland.
We now do not understand each other, speak different languages. Around hate and debauchery. And it produces all the soulless matrix called - television. How many will we be able to list films in which there would be at least a small element of patriotic education? I remember the offhand "Brest Fortress"; still, they say, there is “Stalingrad”, but I have not seen it yet, and the reviews are not too encouraging. And just movies about a normal life? So that without corpses and Mexican passions? They probably are, but somehow too rarely caught the eye of the viewer. Much less often any show about divorces. Do young people have positive role models? After all, you will not be frightened by the collapse of the country of one for whom decay is a way of life. The collapse of the family, the first, second, third ... This is the most difficult. After all, even after killing the matrix, we will be forced to reload it, filling it with positive content, which can not be quickly developed. But this, in my opinion, is the first step towards overcoming the collapse of the country. And in many respects this content, clothed in elegant, modern forms, is waiting for us, the Orthodox.
And if this is not done, then no laws calling for punishment for the unpatriotic thought spoken out loud will not be able to help. So a set of measures is needed, which includes, in addition to interesting and informative films and TV shows, various non-formal mass events devoted to the problems of patriotic education, for which young journalists, for example, would go to Sochi.
