Descartes once said that people would get rid of half of their misfortunes if they had learned to agree on the meaning of words.
Just Mr. Putin scared the Federal Assembly by the prospect of destruction of traditional values. Berdyaeva even quoted - about conservatism, which prevents the movement to chaotic darkness!
Formed what referents of our dragons.
Oh yes. “Traditional values” are sacred, but Descartes continues to insist on clarifying the content part!
So, our traditional values should not be confused with European ones.
European traditional values are respect for human rights, an independent court, honest elections, freedom of speech.
Moreover, we note: many centuries have passed before these, previously marginal, values in Europe - traditional! Six speakers were beheaded on the island, blood rivers were shed on the continent, sailed to the law already to America ... But here you go - founded a tradition!
English conservatism today is the priority of the law, control of society over power, Fire O'Klock and even lawns.
Our conservatism is the right of the administration to wash people in dust and not be responsible for this.
Our traditional values are an Asian police officer, a secret office and a stupid Uvarovskaya triad. Moreover, unlike Europe, for many centuries we haven’t changed anything in our priorities - we only rhythly rhetoric when changing the banners ...
Well, they survived: Putin quotes Berdyaev with an unfused face!
Berdyaev, as you know, personally interrogated Dzerzhinsky. Then they threw him away from his homeland, warning that when he appeared on the border, he would be shot.

And the trained Federal Assembly, in the middle of Russia who was repeatedly raped by them, applauds for the forgery.
This is the "chaotic darkness", about which Berdyaev warned.
