In society

Allusion

11 February 2013 Alexey Kondaurov

Finding an excessive to agree or argue with this Harry Kasparov in the article “Fascism in the yard” by an assessment of the orders existing in today's Russia, I would only like to notice that judging by Hitler, some current Russian practices do not very contradict the ideas about the state and society of the named master. However, many political moves of Stalin caused a living Hitler, according to his surroundings, sympathy, and sometimes involuntary admiration for the brilliant protrusion of the leader. For example, he was delighted with the determination of Stalin, who initiated the “cleaning” in the supreme leadership of the Red Army in the 30s. On the massacre in the Wehrmacht, but, however, less in scale, Hitler decided only after the attempt on himself in July 1944. Stalin - Stalin, but some “sound” thoughts expressed by the Fuhrer about the state and his institutions are forced to peer into the local political landscape many years later.

March 31, 1942 Hitler during the evening meal in the Wolf Logov, summing up his discussions about who and how should inherit power in future Germany, distinguished three points:

"1. Free elections really give more chances not to make the head of state the full idiot (unlike the hereditary monarchy). The best evidence of this is the German emperors, who were elected nobility and were truly giants of thoughts.

2. When choosing the head of state, you should select a person who will be able to guarantee certain stability in the leadership of state affairs for a long time. This is necessary not only for organizing successful government, but also for the implementation of any large -scale state program.

3. It is necessary to make sure that the head of state is free from the influence of economic structures and is not forced to make any decisions under their pressure. Therefore, he should support a political organization that draws strength in the most thick folk and higher economic interests. ”

It doesn't look like anything?

But what Hitler declared regarding the judicial system, which, in his opinion, would meet the interests of the fascist state to the greatest extent, in his opinion.

“He ( Hitler ) will no longer allow the judge to get away from responsibility for his decisions, discouraging the fact that the assessors for the most part were against it. He wants to have judges who think large -scale, and, of course, they will pay well. He needs judges who are firmly convinced that law is not to defend the interests of the individual from the encroachments of the state, but first of all, the concern that Germany does not die.

Gunther (Imperial Minister of Justice) failed to form this type of judge. He himself, with great difficulty, abandoned the legal view of things and did not immediately stand on reasonable positions, but only threats, on the one hand, and claims, on the other hand, forced him to make decisions that meet practical life needs. ”

Doesn't it cause any associations?

He took care of the press. “Only by putting the entire press and the entire propaganda apparatus under the control of one state body,” the Reich Scancler enlightened, “can be ensured by the centralized press management. And the centralized press management is a prerequisite for the fact that the public will believe the press, which means that it will gain the power of educational influence. For only the controlled press will be spared the abundance of contradictions in the presentation of information, in the coverage of the motives of the events of political, cultural and other life. ”

Is this not about the Russian television “consistency of information”, which most of the country is “filled” with, is it in question?

No, of course - this is about the press of fascist Germany. Where this master was mentally reaching until the beginning of the 21st century-he did not really foresee his own terrible end in three years. The trouble is only that the ideas of such monsters do not die with their carriers.

Any historical analogies always suffer from a well -known stretch: gigantic changes in the world, man and society do not allow history to be repeated endlessly. But historical analogies, especially such, are useful in that they give an opportunity, horrified, to think about the consequences and make the right choice.
