Russia and Putin are twin brothersWe say Putin, we mean Russia,
We say Russia, we mean Putin
Today the situation in Russia can be described similarly to the words of Mayakovsky: We say Lenin, we mean the party, We say the party, we mean Lenin. In Putin, the Russian people have finally found a Fuhrer (1,2) who fully corresponds to their mentality and who is capable of returning confidence in the future to the Russian Empire and its people. As a native of the people, Putin carries within himself everything that is inherent in the Russian mentality, this is Great Russian chauvinism and an imperial worldview, so to speak, the ideological and spiritual core of the Russian people. However, there is a difference between the German Fuhrer and Fuhrer Putin; if Hitler had to wage a persistent political struggle, create a party, then Putin does not need a political party, his party is the entire Russian people. Putin is not a member of any party. It was enough, as he said, to "drown Chechnya" to gain nationwide support and love.
After the collapse of the USSR, the Russian people began to fear for the future of the empire, and the appearance of Putin, who drowned the wayward Chechnya in blood, was perceived by the people as fateful. The Russian people found in Putin a leader who would manage state affairs, freeing the people from an activity that was alien to them - to participate in governing the state through free elections and other democratic tricks. Knowing the mentality of the people well, Putin strangled the shoots of the hated democracy, literally imposed on the people by Yeltsin, from which the Russian people coughed up blood.
The Russian people intuitively feel that empire and democracy are incompatible things, moreover, democracy is dangerous because it will destroy the empire, without which the Russian people will be lost. If we take into account that the Russian people can only exist in the conditions of an empire, then the disappearance of the empire threatened the very existence of the Russian people. Western democracy is a good thing, but not all nations are able to equally enjoy its benefits. Putin understands this perfectly well, which is why he called the Russian state system a sovereign democracy, that is, democracy for the sovereign, in other words, a monarchy.
Democracy requires the active participation of the people in economic and political activities, that is, what the Russian people have historically never done, and only thanks to the invitation to restore order and governance of the Rurik brothers from the Scandinavian tribe of Rus, did they acquire a state, or rather a principality (prince is a word of Scandinavian origin) called Rus, in which the entire indigenous population was in the status of Russian serfs. That is why, unlike a Frenchman, an Englishman, a Ukrainian, a Russian is an adjective. To the question, - whose serf are you? The answer was - Russian. By the way, the population of Russia in the status of weak-willed serfs essentially remains to this day. It just so happened that every Russian is timid in front of a government official of any rank. Uninitiated serfs don't need democracy!
Putin, who had previously concealed his ambitious plans, steeply mixed with patriotism, did not want to continue playing Yeltsin's role as a sham president, an executor of the oligarchs' will, and decided to stop the process of further disintegration and plundering of the empire, or even to revive it within its former borders. The vector of all his actions as president has one direction - back to the empire.
In English, unlike Russian, there are two different words: world and peace, so Putin does not need peace, because in conditions of peace Russia as an empire cannot survive, and the Soviet Union, which disintegrated into several countries without a war, is a very illustrative example of this. Putin understands well that long-term peace is harmful for the Russian people and their empire, peace leads to economic stagnation due to the pathological inability of the people to take initiative in economic and political activity. Hence his famous phrase - "Why do we need peace if there is no Russia in it (the world). True, under the conditions of democracy in Russia, economic development is possible, but in this case, due to the indicated reason, the country will end up in the hands of oligarchs, so to speak, not of Russian nationality, who will be concerned only with enrichment and the export of capital, quite reasonably foreseeing the unreliability of the political situation in the empire. Such a circumstance would inevitably lead to the impoverishment of the people, which could ultimately end in a popular uprising and Jewish pogroms. It is no coincidence that the oligarchs hastily left the country with the arrival of Putin, which prevented possible pogroms.
It seemed that having everything for the successful development of the country, it was possible to achieve prosperity in conditions of peaceful existence, but it is precisely peace that aggravates the situation of the Russian people and the reason for this is the inability to work rationally and the lack of innovations in technology. Only industrial espionage, or in Putin's words, tsap-tsap (3), made it possible, albeit with a lag, to produce goods, but unfortunately, traditionally mostly weapons, which naturally did not contribute to improving life, but allowed to seize someone else's, namely, underdeveloped countries, which is what the empire actually did, satisfying the imperial worldview of the people and robbing conquered peoples.
However, not everything was so rosy with wars for Russia. Russia, starting with Napoleon, has not won a single war. Russia lost all three important battles to Napoleon - Austerlitz, Smolensk and Borodino, surrendering Moscow. It should be noted that even when Napoleon withdrew his army from Moscow due to its unpreparedness for the harsh winter and isolation from France, the Russian army only accompanied the French army leaving Russia, not daring to give battle. Russia lost the Crimean War of 1856. Then, Russia, having decided to seize Manchuria and Korea, lost the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, both on land and at sea. In the famous Battle of Tsushima, Japan utterly defeated the Russian fleet, which was twice as numerous. Russia was defeated in World War I. Russia was unable to defeat Finland in the Winter War of 1939-1940, whose population was comparable in size to the population of Leningrad alone. Thanks to the courage of the Finnish people, today the world knows Finland as the most prosperous country. In World War II, Russia participated in a coalition with such powerful countries as America and Great Britain, which helped with the supply of weapons, fuel, food, and it is a big question whether Russia could have resisted the German army alone. By the way, thanks to Stalin's insidious genius, Russia is the only country that, in World War II, took advantage of the defeat of Germany and Japan to acquire foreign lands.
Unable to withstand the too long peaceful time for Russia of 34 years, the Russians invaded Afghanistan in 1979 under the far-fetched pretext of securing the southern borders of the Soviet Union. The war lasted for 10 years and ended in a shameful defeat for the aggressor. The Afghan people, without aviation, missiles, tanks and other attributes of modern warfare, at the cost of the lives of more than three million of their citizens, drove the Russian invaders out of Afghanistan. Russia learned a good lesson and, presumably, will no longer poke its nose into this country with its freedom-loving people.
Afghan war has finally undermined the already weak economy of the Evil Empire. And, it would seem that with the defeat in the Cold War, nothing can stop the collapse of the empire, alas, America is making a big mistake in its short-sighted decision to provide economic assistance to the defeated empire, which, according to Putin, rose from its knees to wave a nuclear club in front of the world community like a monkey with a grenade.
This mistake is a consequence of a misunderstanding of the mentality of the state-forming people - a successful linguistic find for a federal state (4), so that there is no doubt who is the main one among the numerous peoples of the Russian Empire. However, this definition of the Russian people as the state-forming people is far from reality, starting with the Varangians Ruriks, the state was formed and ruled by people of non-Russian nationality, the entire Romanov dynasty of tsars after Peter the Great was German. For example, the reign of Catherine the Great was considered the "Golden Age of the Russian Empire", but being a native of Prussia, she could not even string two words together in Russian. Only after Stalin did the representatives of the state-forming people become the masters of the Kremlin, under whose incompetent leadership the economy created by the Georgian Stalin continued to function for some time until it reached stagnation, after which the empire partially fell apart. The pathological inability to self-organize and govern, lack of initiative in political and economic activity in the conditions of the open plundering of the country by oligarchs, naturally not of Russian nationality, led the Russian people to impoverishment and, as a consequence, the final collapse of the Russian Empire (5).
Undoubtedly, Putin's appearance saved the empire from collapse, but it seems only for a while. The fact is that Putin understands perfectly well that long-term peace is harmful to the empire. If for normal countries peace is a necessary condition for economic growth and improvement of the well-being of the people, then in Russia it is peacetime that leads the economy to stagnation. This is like a law for Russia. Putin foresees that the deterioration of the economic situation will cause envy of the population, especially of the countries that were part of the empire. I would like to note the distinctive feature of the people in that the envy of the Russian for the well-being of the neighbor causes not the desire to achieve, but the desire to destroy this well-being. Putin cannot allow the Ukrainian people to cause envy in the Russian people, otherwise the reason for Russia's economic backwardness will be found in the leadership, that is, in its only representative, which is Putin. Russia and its people do not need a successful Ukraine, but a victorious war over it. Victory in the war and the return of Ukraine, the most advanced of all former colonies, to the bosom of the empire will cause delight among the people, as was the case with Chechnya, and will provide Putin the leader with unprecedented authority and lifelong power.
The Russian empire is like a prehistoric lizard in the modern world, which needs a victim, and this victim has become Ukraine, and if we take into account Putin's historical opus that Ukrainians are in fact the Russian people, then Fuhrer Putin intends to destroy Ukrainians as a people and a country called Ukraine. Judging by the military actions of the Russian army in Ukraine, which result in the destruction of cities, the murder of civilians, the destruction of infrastructure, the seizure of territory with the subsequent abduction of children, the World has once again encountered the fascist evil in the person of Russia (6).
Any war is first of all a risk, but Putin knows that Ukraine is not the Baltic countries with their organization and order. The disarray in power, sometimes a presidential republic, sometimes a parliamentary one, corruption with a corrupt judicial system gives Putin the opportunity to put a traitor with a criminal past, Yanukovych, at the head of Ukraine.
Here we come to Putin's main mistake, yes, Putin was not mistaken in the pre-war situation in Ukraine, which he took advantage of by starting the invasion, but he was mistaken in something more important, in its people. He was mistaken in the people to whom he dedicated his historical opus, proving that the Ukrainian people as such do not exist. However, the people that suddenly appeared in Ukraine became an insurmountable wall against which the hordes of Russian invaders are being broken. Everything is moving towards the fact that the victorious "War in Two Days", as the Russian descendants of Goebbels called it (7), will turn into a shameful defeat, which will inevitably be followed by the final collapse of the "Evil Empire". It's a pity Putin won't write the next opus explaining what kind of people turned out to be so unkind, meeting the Russian liberators from freedom not with flowers, but with bouquets of javelins. Having lost the empire, the Russian people will crucify their idol on the gates of the Kremlin, considering him the only culprit of the disaster. How can one not recall the words of the Greek philosopher Aristotle - "from love to hate is one step."
Since Russia and Putin are twin brothers, Putin's departure from the political arena is tantamount to the disappearance of Russia as an empire and, as a consequence, the Russian people will find their original state - Muscovy. (8,9) Russia is an empire, therefore it is doomed by history.
