Speaking the other day at the St. Petersburg International Law Forum, the chairman of the Constitutional Court Valery Zorkin said : "The protection of human rights should not undermine the moral foundations of society and destroy its religious identity. Ensuring the rights of citizens should not create a threat to state sovereignty." It should not - this can be understood so that today it just destroys the religious identity of society and puses a threat to state sovereignty of the Russian Federation.
And in this Mr. Zorkin is absolutely right. Protection of human rights really creates a deadly threat to the state sovereignty of the current Russian Federation, since the state sovereignty of the current Russian Federation is precisely in the unlimited right of the Russian state to trample any human rights. Create lawlessness, arbitrariness and violence against people. Starting from the detentions for wearing balls, ribbons and umbrellas with political subtext. Ending with the massacre of the elderly, women and children when cleaning in new Aldes, a firp with heavy missiles in the Grozny market and executions of columns of refugees from the air and from tank guns.
Even the state sovereignty of the current Russian Federation lies in the ability to impunity to create violence against their neighbors, trampling international law and any international obligations taken over. In ignoring the decisions of international judicial and arbitration bodies. Again, contrary to the obligations taken. For the current Russian Federation, state sovereignty is an opportunity not to obey any rules and not to reckon with anyone in relations with both the world community and with their own population.
Protection of human rights prevents the state from creating everything that he wants, that is, limits state sovereignty. Mr. Zorkin would like to see in his state such human rights that would not limit state sovereignty. That is, it would not prevent the state from grabbing people on the street for wearing ribbons and shooting columns of refugees from air and tank guns. Of course, you can always find people who will portray the protection of human rights on these conditions. Only they will not be called human rights activists, but somehow non-normative. But the democratic opposition, unless, of course, it wants to be called so, it should openly and openly announce: our goal is to deprive the Russian Federation of such a sovereignty. Yes, we really want to do it.
Let's move on to religious identity. The religious identity imposed by the ruling Kleptocracy to her, the official obscurantist Orthodoxy of the Russian Orthodox Church MP. This is the ideological justification of state sovereignty in the above sense. The Orthodoxy of the Russian Orthodox Church MP is a fighting ideology of the struggle against human rights as a "heresies of human worship." The struggle against the idea of the inalienability of human rights. Against the idea of the priority of human rights before the will and interests of the state.
This idea of the Russian Orthodox Church MP and contrasts its "religion of state worship." The idea of the sacredness of state power. The idea of the indecency of state power to their subjects, with whom state power sacrifices for the sake of its own higher interests. They cannot evaluate and condemn the biblical God for the fact that He sends natural disasters and diseases solely for the appearance of his own power on them!
Human rights are primarily a ban on the violence of some people over others. The Russian Orthodox Church for centuries sanctified violence against a person, both state and family. And now, denying human rights, she claims the right of some people to violence against other people. And it is by no means a secret, what kind of people are over what people. The Orthodoxy of the Russian Orthodox Church MP is a religion of hatred of inim and coercion to love for self. This is a religion of a fist, a boot and a halt. As a matter of fact, the ROC MP itself accurately found its place in modern Russian society: sprinkle the Satan nuclear missiles to holy water.
It is not true that the identity based on the religion of hatred is naturally “from below”, that it meets the spiritual needs of the majority. If it were so, gg. Zorkins would not be afraid that the protection of human rights would destroy it. Identity based on hatred is always imposed on topics from above by manipulation, deception and direct coercion. And is supported by ideological prohibitions and repression.
The protection of human rights such as the freedom of dissemination of information and expression of opinions, including the right to criticize the archaic and obscurantist religion, really threatens to destroy such identity. The identity based on hatred to the west and worship of the rulers -abroad - Ivan the Terrible with Stalin. Any democratic, not a fake opposition is simply obliged to declare: our first goal is to destroy this identity. Yes, we really want to do it.
