The US "cowboy-Jewish mafia" is responsible not only for the collapse of the USSR, it is also charged with the intention to spiritually disarm, corrupt, humiliate and completely subjugate the Russian people. According to Kucherenko, Russia is waiting for a new version of the Yugoslav scenario. This is the split of the country into warring states, internal wars that will be provoked with the help of generators of panic and madness, and as a result - general destruction, famine, degradation of society. The offensive of the Caucasians and the Afghan Taliban is also predicted (now this is especially true), who will go on a campaign for white women and Slavic slaves. In an environment of chaos and poverty, Russian girls will become entertainment for visiting foreigners, and Russian children will be taken to the West to use their body parts. If there is anything left of Russia, it will be mobile Cossack units, which the Americans will supply with obsolete military equipment for wars with Muslim units invading the Russian plain from the south.
“NATO is turning before our eyes into a World Government under the leadership of the United States, which intends to burn and kill anyone who does not want to submit to its authority” (60), so the external reason for starting anti-Russian actions may be a threat to the environment or the desire to correct the medieval character of Orthodoxy. The real reasons will, of course, be different. According to Kucherenko, the ruling elite of Western countries is now hopelessly criminalized and involved in the drug business, for this reason it will ally with bandits and will set up puppet regimes in newly formed countries in order to launder their criminal dollars (67). "I tell you, reader - a big war is being prepared in the world for the final destruction of the Russians" (57). And it's not just the predatory policy of enemies. Kucherenko discovers an undoubted relationship between the spread of ecological ideology and the rise of Satanism. It is obvious to him that Satanism will "eventually...become the dominant religion in the US. It is too convenient for the masters of the New World Order" (83). It is clear what should happen in this satanic World Order with the Orthodox Russian people.
Just like anti-Semitic fantasies, these ideas are not Kucherenko's original invention. Such fabrications do not leave the pages of the Russian nationalist press. The theme of the "Great Confrontation" - the irreconcilable war of the Western world against Russia, unites a whole series of books published, along with the works of Kucherenko, by the publishing house "Crimean Bridge - 9D". Some feature of Kucherenko is his amazing ability to expose the insidious enemy plans, resorting to the most unexpected sources for this. Here, for example, are the conclusions after watching Verhoeven's film "Starship Troopers", in which people of the future are shown in military uniform, at war with certain creatures belonging to the race of intelligent insects: "Do you think that this film arose by chance? There is nothing like that in Hollywood it just doesn't happen... This means that America is tired of messing around with soft-bodied pacifists... it wants its own, American fascism" (78). Kucherenko is convinced that the destruction of alien monsters symbolizes the massacre of the Russian people, so he sees in Verhoeven's film an exact analogue of Hitler's Mein Kampf, which called for the extermination of the Slavs. Another equally solid argument is the content of the American television series Nikita, which tells about the activities of secret intelligence agents. For Kucherenko, it is obvious that in the very near future, according to this scenario, the extermination of Russian patriots will be organized (79-80). In addition, he borrowed information from one of the authors of "Tomorrow" that Spielberg "received an instruction from the highest religious circles to develop a scenario: a bio-cybernetic civilization; in conjunction with the dogmas of the Talmud" in order to show a model of a society in which unnecessary nationalities (74). Thus, by joint efforts, the current plans of the wise men of Zion are revealed, who do not sleep at night, thinking about how to destroy the Russian people.
The children's lessons of "great-power fiction" were not in vain - the writings of this genre are still an important source of inspiration for Kucherenko. By the way, this direction of domestic literature is developing extremely actively. As Vladimir Bondarenko proudly writes: "The imperial fantasy of Rybakov and Semyonova, Vidov and Trapeznikov ... confirmed the colossal popularity of the ideology of repulse." 7 Many other names could be added to this list, first of all, Alexander Prokhanov. It is essential that there is no boundary between "imperial fiction" and "imperial journalism". America's devotion to Satanism, intoxicating insanity generators, and other such miracles easily translate into publications that claim to be serious and completely reliable information. Kucherenko in a number of cases directly refers to fantastic prose. For example, informing readers that soon "a new entertainment will appear among the wealthy sadists of the West: burning children alive" (615), our author bases himself on such a serious source as the work of Andrei Dmitruk "Battle of the Gods".
Let me remind you once again that Kucherenko preferred to forget everything that he was once taught in his alma mater. It seems that this trained historian treats the humanities with contempt, preferring to them, on the one hand, political mythology, and, on the other, the world of technology, in particular, areas related to the military industry. This hobby also explains the pseudonym "Kalashnikov", which refers to the inventor of the famous machine gun. The military-technical emphasis is the most original feature of the described works. In order to give a general idea of their style and content, I will give only a few phrases with which the author himself introduces the "Battle for Heaven" to readers: "Air battles with: flying fortresses; and battles of rocket launchers with: phantoms; ... Israeli war, :star battle; 1982 and the setting of plasma :clouds; in space... Russian :neftegrad; in the sea southeast of Saigon and the real Kitezh in the rock masses of Krasnoyarsk... Space :sentinels; countries and generators that make our missiles and fighters are invisible ... Attacks of winged robots in the Bekaa Valley and the deadly fire of installations: Cube; ... this is not fantasy, but a completely real story of our native country.
One could attribute all of the above to the fantastic inclinations of our hero, but Kucherenko knows military equipment much better than history. Among other things, he is personally acquainted with many creators of Soviet weapons and in a number of cases directly refers to their statements. I will add that I had a chance to consult with the developer of one of the mentioned projects, who confirmed that the description given in Kucherenko's book is quite real, moreover, it indicates a serious awareness, suggesting a special permit. Speaking about the achievements of his native defense industry, Kucherenko, in principle, does not invent anything, another thing is the manner of presentation. Kucherenko is not a pedantic descriptor, but an inspired singer. He does not limit himself to pointing out the functional effectiveness of combat products, but admires their irresistible aesthetic perfection, while falling into a genuine ecstasy. The outline of the Buran space complex at the start reminds Kucherenko of the outlines of the Russian five-domed temple - this is not just an aircraft, but a precious shrine * (305). Kucherenko perceives insufficient respect for Soviet combat vehicles as a personal insult. Mentioning that the Americans called the KA-50 helicopter the indecent word "werewolf", he exclaims: "Shut up their filthy mouths!" *(87).
Just as Soviet weapons are beautiful and effective, American weapons are ugly and ineffective. Kucherenko is convinced that Soviet weapons were infinitely superior in combat qualities to their Western counterparts. Even the victorious wars of Israel against the Arab countries or the defeat of Iraq by the troops of the United States and its allies are described as the history of the triumph of Soviet technology. This superiority turns out to be Kucherenko's proof of the absolute falsity of all statements about the backwardness of the Soviet Union in the era of the so-called. "stagnation". Kucherenko believes that the notorious "stagnation" is a myth introduced into the Russian public consciousness by insidious enemies. It turns out that behind the unpresentable appearance of the country, behind all the squalor of the unfortunate Soviet life so memorable to us with its queues, "communal apartments" and a total shortage of goods, there was a completely different - a brilliant imperial civilization: "We did not know what we had. Stupid orders were hiding from us all the splendor of the power of the country ... "," ... there was another Union - hidden, unknown. The Union of closed cities and: mailboxes - potential nuclei of explosive growth "* (493).
Like an archaeologist, Kucherenko explores the artifacts of this hidden Union and discovers that "the Russians could make a breakthrough into a new civilization, before which the Japanese miracle would fade." However, Kucherenko strongly condemns consumer inclinations and does not want the country's economy to indulge them. The "Russian miracle" is a great Empire capable of conquering everyone. Kucherenko repeatedly plays scenarios of possible military clashes between the USA and the USSR and invariably destroys arrogant, stupid Americans. The American fleet is especially unlucky - only in the book "The Broken Sword of the Empire" Kucherenko sinks it five or six times: with aircraft, and with long-range missiles, and with the help of warships. The author enters into the role to such an extent that he once shoots the Americans with the hands of Captain Kalashnikov, i.e. from own literary name * (253). Other types of weapons do not lag behind, for example, the Soviet space station easily destroys the American Challenger, thereby undermining all the plans declared in the Star Wars program * (17).
Arguing in this way about the situation in the mid-80s, Kucherenko mentally places his idol in the Kremlin - Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, who would have achieved victory over the USA and NATO without any problems. Kucherenko notes that along with military resources - the ability to defeat the armed forces of the enemy with missile technology, arrange a tsunami on the Mississippi or stun the enemy with vapor-plasma clouds, the Soviet country had other opportunities. Stalin, if he were in Gorbachev's place, would immediately understand how to act: "Through the special services, throw some money to the Negro-Islamic leader Farrakhan ... organize a joint venture to split the States ..." * (120-121). "With the help of militant Cuba, we were able to launch a drug war against the United States from the beginning of the 1990s. By supporting the right people in Bolivia and Peru, Ecuador and Colombia, the Empire was able to begin the destruction and decay of the American human youth, corrupting the US state. Along the way, starting a highly profitable activity. The enemy of our enemy is our ally ... The drug trade allowed us to start the collapse of the United States, supporting Latin American and black groups in them, firmly involved in the current United States in the drug business and: color nationalism; " (171).
"So it could be. If not for Gorbach and Yeltsin, Shevardnadze and the whole army of reformers" * (120-121). The victory was not achieved only because of the cowardice of the degenerated political leadership of the country. There was no Stalin in the Kremlin. "We lost the battle for the Empire in our minds. And above all thanks to the Brezhnev ideologist, Suslov-Sabler" * (68). As Kucherenko is convinced, this defeat was the result of a deliberate betrayal. The regime of secrecy that hid from the citizens of the Union the splendor of its military-industrial complex is "not idiocy, not ordinary bureaucratic stupidity, but a skillful policy of depriving us of national pride" * (158).
* * *
So the enemies won. Even at the moment, Kucherenko, who is sitting in his house, is heroically ready for the fact that he will be killed by a strike by NATO troops or an explosion that will be attributed to the machinations of Chechen terrorists (91). However, one can only sympathize with the unlucky villains - by delaying the destruction of Kucherenko, they signed their own death warrant. Now that Kucherenko's books have been published, a plan has become common property that will make it possible to crush the enemies. To do this, it is only necessary to rely on the wonderful national traditions - on the achievements of the "Byzantine-Orthodox" civilization of Russia.
It must be said that Kucherenko's ideas about this civilization are very peculiar. By his own admission, he professes a very special - "nuclear Orthodoxy", which has nothing in common with the well-known Orthodox views. Not fearing accusations of Marcionite heresy, Kucherenko rejects the entire "Old Testament", the books of which serve for him only as evidence of the pathological bloodthirstiness of the Jews, and also reveal the origins of Jewish plans to seize world finances (73, 545). However, with the "New Testament" is not so simple. When presenting the dogmas of his religious teaching, the preacher of nuclear Orthodoxy finds no reason to mention Jesus Christ or the apostles, but repeatedly glorifies "the most ancient beliefs of the Slavs of the times of Rod and Svarog, Perun, Yarila, and Veles" * (304), to which he periodically adds Odin with Thor and the precepts of the Japanese samurai. Of the Christian authorities, Kucherenko mentions, in passing, only John Chrysostom - it seems that he really liked the beautiful name. In general, nuclear Orthodoxy is such a special imperial religion - "Orthodoxy of the Sword and the Hammer" * (105). The objects of veneration of this denomination, no less than churches, are military weapons and space rockets, and Perun and Odin are more significant than Christ.
It is not difficult to see that the religious ideas of our hero were formed under the influence of his youthful fascination with Nazi ideology, which Kucherenko modifies in accordance with the peculiarities of the Russian tradition. Figuratively speaking, he replaces Odin with Perun. Something similar can be repeated about social ideals. It seems that of all the historical figures who have ever lived in Rus' / Russia, Kucherenko speaks with unconditional praise only of the pagan warrior Svyatoslav. Even Stalin, who created the great red empire, is not perfect. Kucherenko is completely delighted with the Stalinist repressions, the victims of which, in his opinion, were mainly Jews, separate compliments are prepared for Beria - in this respect, the content of Kucherenko's books is quite in tune with the ideological platform of Limonov's National Bolsheviks, who act under the slogan "Stalin, Beria, Gulag !". However, for our author it is also obvious that, with all his merits, Stalin still failed to overcome the Jewish Marxist heritage. This is what doomed the USSR to death. Kucherenko is going to correct the mistakes of his idol by creating a militant elite that could solve the problem of building an Empire. This is where the old Nazi experience comes into play.
As far as can be understood from the content of the books in question, in especially difficult moments, Kucherenko has two favorite activities. Firstly, he enjoys reading Alexander Prokhanov's book "The Last Soldier of the Empire", paying special attention to those pages that describe the war with the United States: "Rereading these lines for the hundredth time, we drink them like old wine, pouring its fire into our veins" * (467). However, even more - truly voluptuous pleasure is brought to Kucherenko by those moments when he imagines what the chosen heroes who make up the elite of the great Aryan Empire could be like.
"When the abomination of this world becomes unbearable, we give free rein to our imagination and dream of the heavenly warriors of that Empire that did not open up to the end. Strong, blond with firmly sculpted faces, they are clad in bulletproof armor and their heads are crowned with massive cyber helmets. Their eyes are like icy formidable lakes, and they are accustomed to directing man-made lightning strikes with just a glance.And we love you, winged demigods, knights of high speeds, kshatriyas of diving attacks!..
Your spirit would be strengthened by martial arts and prayers, and future MiG and Miley pilots, learning the secrets of a fleeting battle, would absorb the thousand-year traditions of the history of Rus'. You had to intersperse studies in aerodynamics and tactics of celestial battles with reading John Chrysostom and Konstantin Leontiev ... Works on aerobatics would be interspersed with travels in ancient times, and treatises on physics - with reading ancient Russian military stories and pages of "Khara-Kure" , the ancient commandments of the samurai ...
I would give them the names of our glorious ancestors, so that you differ from the gray crowd of inhabitants, with their miserable dreams of cheap vodka. Ratibor and Miloneg, Borivoy and Ratmir, Svyatovit and Radimir would walk on our land. Beautiful and strong like demigods...
You would carry into life the ideal of Svyatoslav, the warrior prince, the Arioslav ruler, who loved weapons, campaigns and battles ... " * (108).
Even Prokhanov could not come up with such a thing.
Such dreams once disturbed the imagination of the leaders of the Third Reich. A sort of northern fairy tale that tells about heroes transferred from an ancient legend to the reality of the 21st century, where they masterfully master ultra-modern weapons, but at the same time remain infinitely alien to any temptations of a critical mind, remaining conscious in the world of medieval mysticism. Perfect fighters-killers, whose moral principles are once and for all determined by a sense of caste solidarity and the ideal of the Empire. Effort and the subjunctive mood are replaced by imperative ones, and the romantic fantasy is transformed into a program of activity: "... our Order must be created. There we will create our own aristocracy and tear the boys away from their parents at the age of thirteen" (566). And do not think about the experiences of cowardly moms and dads, the stakes are too high. "Twenty years ... work - and the mighty Arioslavic race of the rulers of the world will enter life - beautiful, smart and strong, capable of touching the stars, shocking the world with unprecedented discoveries" * (448).
With his usual thoroughness, Kucherenko takes care of the most diverse aspects of the life of blond heroes, thinking over what their clothes should be - the style of the Soviet military, and musical preferences. "Young people like rock - don't forbid it, but give them Russian, imperial and Orthodox rock" (673). Even the formation of imperial erotic ideals is envisaged: "...Let's make erotica Aryan, Slavic, where beauties submit only to the strong and healthy, where the female body is charming with roundness, where the growth of a woman is in ancient, healthy canons." Our author foresees that this aspect of his program may cause misunderstanding on the part of adherents of traditional - non-nuclear Orthodoxy, but he promises his followers to settle this issue. A matter of exceptional importance: "Remember, friend: eroticism is also a weapon... Russian eroticism must serve the Empire. It must destroy the anti-world: aliens; who are genetically inferior to healthy Slavs. After all, it is also a weapon of the Great War. Together with space fighters and complexes S-300". The general task is formulated as follows: "... Let our erotica bears the image of the Slav, and not the blackness of a black woman, mulattos or women of the Levantine-Semitic type" (675). Thus, something like the racial laws of the Third Reich is planned, which should be introduced into the minds of young people already at an instinctive level.
Although Hitler is cited as its teacher in all supposedly anti-Russian undertakings of the West, in Kucherenko's plans for building the future nuclear Orthodox Empire, there is an undoubted desire to reproduce the Nazi experience. Kucherenko remembers with the deepest respect "the most intelligent Nazi Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler" (326), and the formation of the elite in the coming Empire is planned taking into account the achievements of the Hitler Youth and the SS. Actually the Order of Kucherenko will be the "Russian SS" * (323 and others).
The similarity, of course, is not absolute, since Kucherenko takes into account the specifics of the Russian multinational statehood. Grandfather Shukri's lessons were not in vain, and Kucherenko plans to create an "imperial Orthodox-Muslim clan" (316). When describing the erotic ideal, the author does not forget to indicate that it will be different in the Muslim part of the country. The ultimate goal is - "... the Orthodox Empire, ... in alliance with Islam, based on the rule of priests and warriors" (85). The prudent Kucherenko clarifies that "people with physical disabilities and genetically flawed, but talented, will work in the Order and receive generous rewards, but they will never rise above the low levels of initiation" (314). It is not difficult to guess that genetic inferiority will distinguish the "imperial Jews" - obviously, not all of them steal the thoughts of noble Aryans, some may come in handy.
"Gradually, the culture of the Order, its customs, its literature and art will become the object of imitation of the rest, and to get into the ranks of this super-organization will become a fiery dream for young people" (315). If someone persists... For this, after all, "the Order is needed. Exorcists. New Inquisition. New Empire" (655). Kucherenko is convinced that any full-fledged spiritual tradition must be uncompromisingly cruel to heterodoxy - the coming empire is invited to follow the example of the French Catholics, who exterminated the Huguenots on Bartholomew's night, or the experience of Muscovite Rus' during the burning of the Jews * (305, 306). Referring to the well-known precedent of the reign of Qing Shi Huangdi, Kucherenko personally "is ready ... to bury the current intellectual trash" (600). As for the initiators of democratic reforms, "the best cure for them is fire, sword and whip! In the name of the highest mercy" * (293). Particularly stipulated is the need to use the experience of the Third Reich in order to take away the property of the Jews.
The best representatives of non-Slavic peoples can be admitted to the heroic Russian elite, while the rest will trade, like the Armenians, or grow rice, like the Uzbeks. Kucherenko is not going to reckon with them. He strongly rejects the Jewish-Marxist fantasy of social equality, asserting as an alternative a noble class hierarchy. Education, military exploits, wounds, orders - each such distinction should give the hero of the Empire additional rights. As for the idea of popular will, it is rejected in principle: "the people are often an unreasonable child", and it is stupid to ask the opinion of the masses at a referendum when "thousand-year-old problems, the fate of powers, the most difficult questions of geopolitics and strategy" * (361). No, some Uzbeks are not allowed to argue with Kucherenko's brilliant visions. This applies not only to the peoples that were part of the USSR. Recalling the Soviet invasions of Budapest in 1956 and Prague in 1968, Kucherenko substantiates them with exhaustive persuasiveness: "we were right - period" * (312). "The Empire has its own logic and its own justice, which has little in common with the banal notions of happiness: a little man;. And even a small people" (162-163).
Integrating the experience of the Stalinist and Nazi empires into one whole, Kucherenko plans to create a state that will control the whole world. However, he generously allows some other countries to survive: "... the Russians, having created the New Empire, are able to save the world from the coming of the terrible Satan. Only the Neo-Empire with the Order at the head is able to rally the great peoples of China, India, Iran, Indonesia in this struggle" ( 618), an alliance with the Muslim Federation is also reported elsewhere. The West will, of course, be defeated and punished, either by military force or otherwise. In Kucherenko's book, one can find both a scenario for the nuclear destruction of NATO centers (536), and a prediction that "...in half a century, Europeans will degenerate and die out so much, turn into such a crowd of old people that they themselves will call on the Russians as rulers and defenders from the Afro-Asian invasion "(360). As for America, in this case, too, options are provided in which it will be possible to do without missile attacks and artificial tsunamis on the Mississippi. "The Order can carry out a secret computer attack on the US information networks, annihilating their financial system. For destroy their dollar, and all their satanic developments will collapse" (313). The main enemy will be defeated without a single shot, and, having overcome the aversion to the “black fruit” of the blacks, Kucherenko will allow them to organize their state somewhere in the place of Alabama-just for pleasure to humiliate the hated Protestant-Jewish civilization. It is curious that nothing of the kind is expected in Africa, it seems that the Empire will divide it with the Muslim Federation. Was it for nothing that the Soviet people fought in Angola and Ethiopia?
Thus, the nuclear-Orthodox prophet, indignant at the bloodthirstiness of the Jewish "Old Testament", sentences an incomprehensible number of millions of people to extermination. This circumstance in no way burdens his supposedly Orthodox conscience. The cult of warriors means for Kucherenko the cult of war. Recalling with disgust the finale of Brezhnev's rule, when the concept of the peaceful coexistence of different systems was actively promoted, Kucherenko contrasts this with "Leontiev and Nietzsche, Mussolini and Evola. After all, they all talked about the great purifying power of war" (194). War, like a wolf in nature, frees the world from the sick and the poor, bringing the truly worthy to the fore.
It is not clear what the blond demigods from the Russian Order of the SS will do when they finally defeat everyone, but so far Kucherenko does not think about it. He has other tasks. He dreams of a "Possessor" capable of finding "a way to create a special island of the future, which will look like a superconsortium, a medieval monastic order, a church, and a financial-industrial group" (311). In "The Battle for Heaven" Kucherenko tries on this role for Putin, but this figure causes him doubts. Later, Kucherenko finally became disillusioned with the current Russian president. In 2002, he published an appeal to his fans on the Internet, warning them that "Putin is ruining the country. He turned out to be too indecisive and weak." Kucherenko said that on the order of a certain businessman who previously worked in Andropov's apparatus, he wrote a new book - "The Third Project", which outlines "our plan to break through the Russians without the help of the state." Now he proposes "to build not even the Order, but a network, three-tiered structure, the Brotherhood." As for the mission of the Ruler, already in the "Battle for Heaven" Kucherenko modestly offers his own services to the coming Empire and swears that he will be worthy of the trust.
