Parshev as a symptom and forerunner

Newsweek has published a rating of the 100 most convenient countries for life. In five parameters: health, economics, education, political stability, quality of life. Finland was in the first place. In addition to her, the top ten leaders in Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Canada, Denmark, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Japan ...

America has 11th place. Russia has 51st.

How to not recall the economic nugget from the KGB Andrei Petrovich Parshev with his book “Why Russia is not America”. All Russian troubles, he explained, comes from the northern geographical location and frosty winters. Therefore, we will never be competitive in the free market. And after us “... may come in the turn and other countries that are in adverse conditions, including your beloved Canada, many European countries, Japan. I'm not talking about Finland ... "

He does very correctly, what does not say. It was necessary ten years ago (the book was at the dawn of the Putin era) so perspicaciously choosing countries. To accurately to the contrary! Although in another place he himself warns: "Before you speak out, think about it, but aren't you a fool?"

And the truth. A hundred years ago, a rich St. Petersburg public went to provincial Finland for pastoral impressions. But we had a great October-and after two or three generations already rich Finns went to the barbaric Leningrad to drink and have fun with inexpensive, but beautiful Soviet girls. The balance began to recover only with the departure of the Communists.

As a materialist to a materialist, strictly between us: maybe a climatic inversion occurred, and in Finland, Sweden and Canada it was sharply warming? Tell me, Andrey Petrovich, do not be shy. And then there is nothing to repulse idealistic insinuations: they say, it's all about false priorities and mediocre management. Like, where the Bolsheviks and Chekists are an endless war with external and internal enemies, a tear and decline. And where is normal human freedom - there is normal human life. And there is no need to inhibit the thermometer ...

Help, by golly! After all, the devil knows what happens. In Greece, Portugal and Spain, not climate, but grace. Snow zero. But it was they who managed to collapse the economy of the entire EU. And the liberal northern Europe, politely swearing to itself, stretches these blessed countries (by the way, all three - with a steady traction to the state populism of the Putin model) from the same “dup”. Where, according to your elegant expression, it would be necessary to be away from the Soviet custody of liberal Poland.

In fact, the opposite is true. Poland is growing. Estonia, damn her, too.

What to do, Andrey Petrovich?! Literally, after all, we’re burning. In the weather, there is pure Texas around, but again we are not a joy. How, by the way, the heat and smoke deigned to transfer - did not bother your head? Take care of her. National treasure; Monument of the Putin era.

Only three ways are known to take a rush to the people on the neck and make him feed the same irremovable shoblu, regardless of its economic, social and other efficiency.

1. "Special historical (nationalist) path." Mussolini, Hitler, mafia Sicily, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Zimbabwe, etc.

2. "Special social (communist) path." Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Kim Il Saint, Castro, etc.

3. "Special religious (faithful) path." Iran, Sudan, Al-Qaida, Hamas, Hezbollah, Caucasian Imrat Dokarov, Wahhabism, etc.

It is clear that there are a lot of intermediate options such as Lukashenko or Putin. Doesn't matter. The main thing is that there are enemies around, in order to rally, so that, without hesitation, to give the most expensive ... "As long as we are one, we are invincible." Which in translation means the irremovability of the ruling bureaucracy.

The intellectual feat of Colonel Parshev is that he undertook to invent the fourth way to fool people in the name of dictatorship and self -isolation. It is called a "special climatic path." You can’t make fun of him: the totalitarian model of Russia's management is dictated directly by Her Majesty zero isotherm ...

In trouble, an attempt to play in natural science, unlike the ships about communism and other varieties of the kingdom of God, implies the opportunity to compare the fairy tale with empiricism. Sincere thanks to A.P. Parshevu for his touching efforts. Few people managed to show with such a simple-minded clarity the wretchedness of Chekism-Verticalism and to act as the forerunner of its inevitable collapse.

Little tactical trick: to abandon the bankrupt communist fairy tale, but to preserve the tale of the Stalin's “vertical” as an excuse for a monopoly on power. Here the climate, and “effective manager”, and any external and internal enemies will fit. The main military secret, which these boys-kibalchshs desperately guard, is that Stalinism has never been and could not be economically effective. Mobilizing - yes, it was. He is dear to them. And let the Russian climate be responsible for the failure economy. This is exactly what the leader and the teacher did when the disaster with bakery and the unprecedented hunger after collectivization explained with frosts and droughts. And those whom such an explanation did not satisfy was shot.

Superior A.P. Parshev guesses how close he came to the truth. True, from the opposite side. Russia is not America precisely because of the systematically repeated deep political frostbite, which the “vertical” suppressed the protest of deceived citizens and covered its incompetence.

America, in turn, is not Russia because it still has the mind not to allow gentlemen with vertical grades and freezer to power. Denmark, Canada, Norway, Finland, Sweden and other northerners also avoided this. Which was reflected in the ranking. All in science: for 100 years, how humanity knows that a socio-political climate is more important than natural. (I hope the reader will not be fooling around and nod to Antarctica.) If this is news, then only for the mossy sociocultural impasse, into which Russia was driven by the efforts of Lenin, Stalin and their patriotic followers.

So smart A.P. Parshev is not only the forerunner, but also the symptom. In the short term, we, citizens, are unimportant. They will try to freeze again. First of all, because they do not know anything else. And they can’t leave: damn I want to work! Such elite sport as rowing on galleys is surprisingly addictive.

As for all the others who are not on the galleys, they are invited to purchase trouses, boots and quilted jackets in advance. Kylo will be given out at the place of work. Although global warming is inevitable, there will be enough permalled for your age.

Well, then everything will float again. Oh, right A.P. Parshev: Not a climate, but a continuous torment.
