Poltergeist
Strange things have been happening recently ...
Suddenly, the US State Department will publish a report on anti -Semitism in Russia - and such a report instantly works like a magical spell: as it is from under the ground, a ghost grows from a long time already deceased domestic "Jewishness" - here you have beaten rabbis, and desecrated synagogues (clocks, cemeteries), and a deputy request about the deceased Christian babies, and Belkovsky with a "message to the Jews", and even the evergreen General Makashov on the air of NTV about the "Jewish question." A! Chur! Distant! Saint-Svyat! Where did you all come from!? - useless; The eyelids of Viya are raised, and nothing will save the unfortunate clam of Brut.
That suddenly the Ukrainian president, speaking in Auschwitz at the event in memory of the victims of fascism, publicly declare that "the total number of victims of the Holodomor and the Holocaust is 15 million people." Despite the fact that the universally recognized number of victims of the Holocaust is 6 million, the remaining nine, obviously, is the Holodomor. Which, as you know , is nothing more than the villainous genocide of the Ukrainian people by Russian imperialists in the commissar guise, under the pretext of collectivization. What is Auschwitz! Know, peoples: Stalin - the beast is much worse than Hitler.
That suddenly the Baltic states deploy a violent discussion about what the victory of the Soviet army over fascism - liberation or, on the contrary, by occupation, was for the Eastern European peoples. The discussion is for the rest of the Europeans: the Balts themselves have long been clear that the army-liberator was in the 41st group "North", but by the invaders-Russians three years later. For Hitler, with all his minuses, nevertheless personified "European values" - unlike the eastern barbarians.
Then, finally, the European Parliament will open the censorship-historical committee, which no longer calls the European leaders to refuse to participate in the Moscow celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Victory on May 9, but also prohibits the sickle and the hammer along with the swastika. Those. One would have thought that in Eastern Europe, the neocommunistic movements suddenly raised their heads that threaten the stability and political order of Eastern European democracies ... But no, this is not for them, but to us: "Stalin is worse than Hitler" ...
One would think that these are all the paroxysms of hatred, the cause of which is a kind of pathological irritation of the “new Europeans” by the very fact of the existence of Russia ... Alas, I’m afraid to disappoint patriots and conspiracy thes, but, in fact, Russia has practically nothing to do with it. European policy solves its own, European problems.
In fact, we observe how a large -scale process of global and general cultural legitimation of the Third Reich unfolds before our eyes.
Why is this necessary? The problem is that until this is done, the very existence of the European Union in its current form will look like a kind of historical incident. Today's European Union is a structure that is in a state of crisis, “fire” search for a unitarization myth - otherwise the process of movement from Euro -euphoria to Euroskepsy will be irrevocable. And "Hitler's problem" - i.e. The problem of the final dismantling of Potsdam -Nunurnberg decisions is the problem that it is not possible to go around on this path.
By form
How to return the Fuhrer? "Follow your hands"; More precisely - behind the terms. At first, instead of the fight against fascism or Nazism, the war becomes a war with the totalitarian Nazi regime ; And thus, totalitarianism becomes the main defeated evil. Further, large -scale parallels are carried out between Hitler and Stalinist totalitarianism - and the war, thus, appears to be the struggle between these two totalitarianisms, the only positive result of which is that half of Europe (the western) became free . After that, a large -scale discussion unfolds about which totalitarianism is worse - Nazi or Stalin ; It doesn’t matter how it ends - already one comparison, i.e. The very fact of its appearance and development is the victory of the revisionist scenario.
Further, the result of the discussion is recorded: "Different peoples - different points of view on the question of which totalitarianism is worse "; In other words, “ there can be no consensus here : for someone, Hitler is worse than Stalin, for someone, on the contrary, Stalin is worse than Hitler, and in general-both are an unconditional evil. And only after that the conversation begins in essence.
In fact
First of all, the main lies of the Potsdam-Nunberg version of the story, on which the entire post-war myth, was dismantled, is dismantled. The fact is that it was not - and it could not be - no "war of the peoples of Europe for liberation from fascism"; In fact, there was a war of the united continental Europe against the Soviet regime - and, at the same time, against the Anglo -Saxon colonial system. And it was precisely this fact that it was necessary to hide the winners of the 45th: to declare defeated that they were not defeated, but something like the younger allies of the winners. Today, the need for this lie has disappeared.
Secondly, again, already in the new context, the notorious "Jewish question" rises.
It would seem: where did he jump out, as if a devil from a snuff box, a terrible beast - "Russian anti -Semitism"? But the fact is that the Jews and the Jewish lobby, in fact, potentially one of the most important allies of Russia in the case of non-reference to the results of the war. The Holocaust is today the basic moral justification of Jewish exclusivity, the rights of Jews to be outside the global taboos: the main thing that is the state of Israel and the Jewish community in all countries of the world today.
And today it is precisely this value that is threatened by dismantling. Actually, Yushchenko’s one statement, in which he actually claims the Holodomor as an ethnocide (and even larger than the Holocaust), is a serious blow, because he encroaches on Jewish exclusivity - and this is more terrible than the mummaged caricature Bendera on the streets. But if we recognize the non -exclusivity of the Hitler genocide of Jews, put it on a par, say, with the Armenian genocide in Turkey, Albanians in Yugoslavia (or, conversely, Serbs in Kosovo), etc. Until some "infringement of the rights of Slovaks in Czechoslovakia" - this alone will already destroy not only the status of a Jewish topic, but also a taboo on a substantial discussion of Hitler's policy. Hitler will cease to be something out of place , the Hitler regime will be built into a number of others that solved similar tasks of national-state construction. And this is already one step to actual legitimation.
At the same time, the domestic political European context also plays a role, namely, the central status of the problem of minorities and illegal migration. It is clear that the growing diasporant communities mobilize the active core of traditional European nations, and this mobilization is sometimes quite strict forms - Hyder, Le Pen, Pim Fordein ... that is, against the backdrop of the success of radical -training discourse, even in the softest European forms, the antidiasporal and even racial aspect of Hitlerism becomes, roughly speaking, everything is rudely speaking, everything is rudely speaking. Clear than the modern European, thinking in national categories. In fact: why does Arab, living in Marseille, does not want to perceive the French language and French culture? And the Turks in Berlin? And Russian in Riga?
For Stalin
Our problem is that we cannot prevent the return of the Fuhrer.
The fact is that the idea of comparing Stalin and Hitler is from our own “discourse” of perestroika production. In other words, it was Russia - or rather, the USSR - was the original source of the impulse, which launched a revision of the results of World War II. It was we who took out the first bricks from the Yalta -Potsdam world -system - all the others only followed the herd instinct - "flying away, well. In this sense, what is happening now with Europe (both eastern and western) - in fact, there is an echo of our restructuring that has reached them; Who does not believe - let him go to today Kyiv.
The project of today's Russian Federation at the institutional, fundamental level laid the denial of the Soviet; It is subject to exactly to the extent in which it is anti-SSR. And no simulative and applied efforts of the "Chekist regime" - like the return of the Alexander anthem or the installation of the monument to Andropov - is not able to change this ontological essence of the properties of the system; Rather, they can completely destroy it.
That is, in fact, everything is decided - and it can be decided - only with us. Exactly because the grave of Stalin - the main demiurge in the now redesigned history of the twentieth century - is not in Riga, not in Warsaw, and not even in Brussels, but here, near the Kremlin wall. And we are responsible for her fate and only we.
In other words, Hitler’s return unfolding before our eyes is a direct consequence of the taboo itself on Stalin. Having canceled Stalin, throwing it out of real history into the field of marginal mythologies and boulevard gossip, we thereby deprived ourselves of the opportunity to resist the arrival of the Fuhrer, turning into indifferent observers of revenge.
Probably, this will be a strange sight - the holiday of the 60th anniversary of Victory. On which the latter, the veterans leaving from us, will clearly contemplate, as Pandora’s box opens again and again rises from the darkness of the Reich - this time the fourth. It is doubly strange because we - exactly the way Churchill described this in relation to the winners of 1918 - did everything necessary for this.
