In society

Living corpse

Without justifying terrorists and terrorism, especially terrorist acts against the peaceful civilian population, unacceptable within the framework of liberal ideology, it is easy, however, to understand the logic of terrorists. Especially if we are talking about modern Russian culture with its imperial ambitions, historical heroes often not with Christian, but with the Old Testament morality, one of which, by the way, is the most beloved that a couple of years ago confirmed the survey “Name of Russia”, and expressed this logic in his textbook maxim “who comes to us with the sword and perch from the sword and perch.”

It is clear that the owner of modern mass consciousness, far from sobriety in relation to himself and his priorities, is not able to imagine himself in the place of his enemy. That is, with a sword come only to us, white and fluffy, and we do not come to anyone with any sword, but, on the contrary, come only with peace and ball. True, it is incomprehensible at the same time how the Russian Empire was formed, including in the Caucasus, from where the current terrorists are most likely. But even if the mass Russian consciousness admits that once Russia came somewhere with a sword, it came like a civilizational force to the barbarians, of course (by the way, empires only under such a banner come, they say, we want you, stupid, enlightenment and light), then from those who came to and come today, say, as a couple of years ago, it is necessary to understand us and put up with it. We, they say, are Orthodox Christians, and you are non -Christ, and not by your honor the logic of our holy faithful prince.

Alas, those whom we enslaved does not matter when it was - under Ivan the Terrible, Nikolai Romanov or Vladimir Putin, they did not consider at all and never considered themselves brainless barbarians, and we are beautiful -minded enlighteners. Ruthless enslavers - yes. And the Old Testament Maxim of the Holy Prince about a sword, which will be a response to a sword according to the principle of eye for eyes, life for life , is known to him not from glamorous hagiography, as ours, but from real history. Since it was they who for centuries lived under the cruel fifth older brother in the Russian-imperial, great-power-socialist, national-capitalist clothing. And it was we who developed their character brutally implacable, proud, warlike and merciless. Because ruthlessness is always protecting weakness, and terrorism is the instrument of those who do not have the opportunity to defend their ideals in the so -called honest battle, in which the strong ones usually win, and the weak is ordered to obey and, speaking the language of higher Russian officials, chew the snot until you were soaked in the toilet .

And very often oppressed, they do so, live according to the rules of the oppressors, collect tribute for them, go to them for a label - the right to the rule, adopt their steppe culture and stereotypes, humbly waiting for the oppressor to grow old and weaken, so that then proudly and freely throw off the vile yoke and say all the nah, I may, as flies, like flies I will slam. But not all oppressed nations are such. Some never come to terms, and then imperial power has to die ardor, lift from their white proud horse with a star in the forehead and go to negotiate, although this is not always possible.

It is easy to notice that these are for the most part the highlanders. And not only in the North Caucasus, but in the Pyrenees, Andes, Alps, Carpathians. The plain nations are stronger, larger and larger, but at home, small mountaineers are ready to resist almost forever. So Napoleon, or the French Empire, could not (could not) defeat the Spaniards and, above all, Basque. So England has the Irish and the Scots - an eternal splinter in the ass. So Hitler could not cope with the Montenegrins, so Stalin shouted the Westernists for almost ten years after the Second World War, and Russia in its imperial edition of which century is fighting in the Caucasus. And although in the historical perspective her defeat is inevitable, stubbornly continues to insist on his own: since we once conquered these lands, it means that they are ours.

How should Chechens behave in the representation of the average Russian (quite here with the supreme power), for whom the cynical and pragmatic Kadyrov - only another, more brutal protege of the Kremlin? Sit, damn it, in your forests and mountains, in your green, in your bestial abomination, but do not stick to us. Of course, we do not agree to give you freedom (since we don’t even have freedom for ourselves, and the damage for the status of a great power, if we let you go, are huge), but you are not ready to consider you equal citizens of the empire: you are the second, if not the tenth variety, you need to sit and keep quiet in a rag. We pay you to portray your younger brother. And if you do not want, then we will destroy you.

But the fact of the matter is that neither destroy nor humble-it will not work, and it will not work. I repeat for those who do not understand: I do not justify the bloody terrorist attacks in the subway, I simply note that the logic, according to which - who with a sword, is from the sword - this is a logic noted by Umarov or Ben Laden, but those who cannot come to terms with oppression and subordination of the weaker to the weaker stronger.

Umarov’s logic is parody and radically democratic: you, of course, are ordinary citizens, but vote for power that brutally enslaved us, which destroyed tens of thousands of our same peaceful people, which means that you are responsible for the actions of your power and you can’t get away from our retaliation. Do you think Putin and Medvedev will protect you or Luzhkov with Matvienko and Mutko? No, we will come to your house as you came to ours. For a liberal worldview, this is a criminal logic, because civilization begins after enslavement, at first the empire burns resistance, and then inspires the slaves that they should be law -abiding, as this is civilization.

Alas, in the clash of civilizations, the Chechens were stronger than the Russians, like Basques - stronger than the Spaniards, the Indians - the British, the Montenegrins are Germans. Any empire has its own end and its end. Today we see the end of the Russian Empire, for a long time no longer, but flawed and doomed. You can pretend that this is not the way that the ear on clay legs is still full of strength, it can pout wrinkled cheeks and depict a thunderstorm of natives. The Chechens were stronger than character, nature, will.

It is necessary to release Chechnya, we must abandon this torment - the complex of the Great Empire, which is like a weight on our neck, for it, in accordance with the most common great -power error, all conquered peoples love as a good, wise and generous master. No, they do not like, they will never love, they will not come to terms, and with where it is more likely to cause our death, death and collapse of the whole state than the other way around. The living corpse of the Russian imperial state holds Russian life in a brutal embrace and does not let go, although it has almost suffocated. If it's not too late, it's time to get rid of life. It's time, it's time.
