Why …? I don’t ask myself the question
What to do? I ask myself the question
Why? Yes, why does Russia have serious problems with the West? Why is Russia perceived by the West as a pariah country. Russia has been expelled from the club of the “big seven” countries. Why are people in poverty in a country rich in resources? Why do all the former republics that once made up the Soviet Union avoid Russia, and some are even at war with it? Why is today’s confrontation between Russia and Western democracies worse than in the days of the USSR? So what is the reason? There are many questions why, which can be reduced to one big one –
Why? It would seem that with the fall of the communist regime and the recognition of its ideology as vicious, which led to the collapse of the economy, which is why the Soviet Union actually collapsed, the reasons for confrontation disappeared. However, the democratic reforms that had begun under Yeltsin for objective reasons (the national mentality coupled with the great power, imperial worldview), which I mentioned earlier (1,2,3), gradually came to naught. Putin, whom I would characterize as a bandit-patriot, returned to the Russian people the conditions of existence they were accustomed to and the hope for the revival of the empire within its former borders. The hope that seemed lost after the collapse of the USSR. Since Empire and Democracy are incompatible things, today the Russian people have a tsar in the form of Putin and the boyars close to him living in luxury at the expense of robbing the people, and therefore hiding it from them as much as possible. However, the people do not particularly complain, because they accept this circumstance, which is familiar to them, as inevitable.
The power in Russia is thieves'. Tell me, what kind of person, for example, in France, would transfer money to foreign banks in someone else's name or buy real estate in surrogate names, unless he is a thief. All high-ranking government officials in Russia are thieves, because that is what they do, hiding the loot abroad. At the same time, they are liars. Their children live in enemy countries of the democracy they hate so much. Navalny, who wanted to draw the people's attention to those who are robbing them, never found mass support and found himself in prison. (4) If in Ancient Rome the people demanded "bread and circuses", then in Russia circuses have been replaced by a cheaper means - vodka. It would seem that everyone is happy, All of Russia lives in a lie, and is headed by the main liar - the zeroed out, that is, the lifelong president of all Rus' Putin. (5) The symbiosis of power and Russian society as a whole coexist in the created conditions. However, this has always been the case in Russia. Mayakovsky described this situation most briefly and accurately in his poem "The Party":
"We say - Lenin, we mean - the party, We say - the party, we mean - Lenin." Similarly, We say - Putin, we mean - the Russian people. We say - the Russian people, we mean - Putin. (6) However, this analogy contains a very significant difference. Lenin was not ethnically Russian, and the core of the Bolshevik-Communist Party consisted mainly of Jews. The Bolsheviks had to achieve power through a civil war with the people, promising to distribute land to the peasants, and factories to the workers, which turned out to be a lie. With this lie, Russia as a state lasted for more than 70 years, until a vicious economic ideology, ignoring the laws of the market and suppressing the initiative of the individual, brought the country to a critical state. The economy, which for some time was based on pure enthusiasm and coercion, became ineffective and could no longer meet the ever-increasing demands of the empire's military machine. The very first democratic reforms that M. Gorbachev was forced to introduce in order to give a civilized face to the Soviet system or, as he said, to build “socialism with a human face,” shook up the patchwork empire so much that in the early 90s of the last century, it collapsed, splitting off countries that had republican status. The Empire of Lies turned out to be powerless against free speech, the power of which was first used by the Baltic colonies, after which the rest of the “voluntary brotherhood of nations” dispersed to poor apartments, leaving behind smoking hot spots.

Putin, who came to power, unlike Lenin, is a native of the common people, who grew up in the courtyard environment of St. Petersburg boys, whose motto, by his own admission, is:
"If a fight is inevitable, you have to strike first." By the way, Putin's gangster slang sometimes involuntarily breaks out in his answers to journalists, which causes general delight among the people. Having won a small war for Russia, but a big one for Chechnya, Putin gained great love and support from the people. Having returned the rebellious Chechnya to the bosom of the empire, Putin simultaneously returned to the people the former imperial worldview, which had been somewhat shaken by the collapse of the USSR. Therefore, it is unlikely that Putin will lose power as a result of popular protest. Putin's lies, both in elections and in all other cases, do not bother the people and are even silently welcomed if they come from the authorities. Over 70 years of the communist regime, the Russian people have become accustomed to lies, which have become an everyday attribute. Therefore, Navalny's attempts to open the people's eyes to the deception and luxury in which his servants live are useless. There is no point in showing the people the truth if they do not need it.
However, the zeroed out one, without knowing it, "cuts off the branch on which he sits." Russia is the Empire of Lies, being also the Empire of Evil, since lies and evil are concomitant concepts, and everything would be fine if these concepts remained inside Russia, so to speak, for internal use, since they do not cause rejection by the Russian people. But the fact is that lies and evil spill out far beyond the borders of Russia. Putin uses the habits and methods of the St. Petersburg hooligan, in which lies and aggression are present, in politics, brazenly trampling on the accepted norms of the established international order. Here we come to the answer to the question of Why. The fact is that Putin is first and foremost a bandit who has gathered around himself people like himself, relying on whom he holds on to power, and using this power he protects them, in bandit jargon, shields them from the law, having turned the basic law, that is, the Constitution, into a whore servicing the criminal group created by Putin at the state level. In essence, Putin has created a criminal state in which Lies are, as in microbiology, a substrate for the vital activity of criminal elements dangerous to the world society. This is confirmed by the mass of crimes of a criminal nature emanating from Putin's Russia.
The countries of Western democracy have had to face a gang of criminal liars, led by a hypocritical liar, blackmailer, terrorist and ruthless killer, trained in the KGB countries in the methods of the cloak and dagger and brazenly using them in front of everyone, both in his own country and outside it. It is not clear how the leaders of democratic countries allow themselves to meet and shake hands with a criminal whose place is in the dock of an international court. I am amazed how Western politicians patiently listen to the brazen, lying nonsense of the Russian representative to the Security Council, Nebenzya, instead of depriving the Empire of Lies of its membership in the UN, as was done in 1939, when Russia was expelled from the League of Nations for the same reason, for unleashing a war with Finland.
For the successful functioning of the criminal state of Russia, as well as any state, universal popular support is necessary, and Putin undoubtedly has it. This leads to the unsightly fact that the Russian people are participants in the crime. I foresee objections that it is impossible to generalize and blame the entire people.
What do you mean you can't generalize! If the majority, and the overwhelming majority, support Putin's aggressive policy towards Georgia, Ukraine, and along the entire perimeter of the empire, is this a generalization? No, it is a fact! This is the imperial worldview of the majority. What business do Russians have with what is happening in another independent country, we are talking about Ukraine? Well, they overthrew a corrupt president, is this a reason for the invasion of Russian troops? And this is happening with the complete unanimous support of the Russian people. This is the case when, in the words of Fazil Iskander,
"the general stench is taken for the unanimity of the people."
I will allow myself, so to speak, a personal digression. I am used to relying on facts. The fact that among my Russian acquaintances everyone is for the annexation of Crimea is a fact that corresponds to the imperial worldview. And this fact is enough for me to have a corresponding opinion, not only about my acquaintances, but also about the people as a whole. If it were the other way around, Putin would have no one to rely on. Remember with what jubilation the Russian people welcomed the invasion of Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea. I agree with you, there are undoubtedly people among the Russian people who understand that "defense (military) of the so-called "Russian world" in other countries is a made-up reason to justify revanchism, but there are significantly fewer of them. For example, I don't know any. It is quite possible that someone knows such people, which gives grounds for optimism, which I do not have. I know that for the majority of the Russian people, all other peoples of the empire are khokhly, Tatars, churks, black-asses, narrow-eyed and other infidels. And the Pindos!?
All these definitions are very popular among the people. For example, I do not know of a case where the English also insulted the peoples that were formerly part of the British Empire.
Knowing the answer to the question why ..., it is necessary to act accordingly.
The only way to rid world civilization of the monster from the lizard era that has survived to this day in the person of Russia is to isolate it and not make the mistake of sending chicken legs anymore. The Russian Empire partially disintegrated, having suffered a defeat in the First Cold War, after the inevitable defeat in the Second Cold War, numerous peoples will finally gain freedom, and the Russian people, freed from the burden of the imperial worldview, which is the cause of constant aggression, will return to their original state of Muscovy and take their place among the democratic countries, realizing that the Empire and Democracy are nonsense.
