Chekist feudalism

Chekist feudalism
October 10, 2007 Alexander Golts
Not all readers of the Hedgehog agreed with me when I suggested that Russian political science did not die. But the article of the head of the State Directory Control Viktor Cherkesov in yesterday's issue of Kommersant convincingly proves - political science is alive. And politics is alive. It is just a very specific political science that describes a very specific policy. The author is talented and, it is possible, even sincerely describes the modern historical situation, explaining why “Chekism” has become a means of saving the Fatherland: “The country in the early 90s survived a full-scale disaster. It is known that after the disaster, the system sooner or later begins to gather again around those parts that managed to maintain certain systemic properties ... It is in this sense that "Chekism" can be accepted for consideration. The loose, heterogeneous, internally contradictory and unambiguous community of people who chose the protection of state security in the Soviet era as a profession was the most consolidated ... falling into the abyss, the post -Soviet society clung to this very "Chekist" hook. And hung on it. "Agree, a Russian society that hung on a "Chekist" hook is more than expressive. Where are the horror films there. But according to Cherkesov - there is just salvation: Having hung, Russia will not fall into the abyss.
Let us pay tribute to the author, he does not at all idealize his corporation: “The real laws of our profession give rise to numerous costs. Only children of primary and secondary school age can recklessly sing such crafts. ” But, he believes, while the Chekist corporation "created some minimum order from the chaos."
Speaking about the further development of the situation, Circassians draws three possible scenarios. Ideal: in the country under the supervision of quarterly overseers, sorry, Chekists, civil society suddenly develops. And the noble knights of the cloak and the dagger voluntarily refuse managerial functions, voluntarily cease to save their homeland and turn into an ordinary professional group. Well, something like a union of asserment. But it seems that Cherkessov himself does not believe in such a prospect.
Another scenario is apocalyptic. Due to subversive actions, unbridled criticism and, most importantly, the “hook” falls apart. And the country, devoid of saving support, flies to Tartarara.
And, finally, the most realistic and at the same time positive scenario is “to complete the corporation and provide with its help long -term stability and a gradual exit from deep sociocultural depression”. It turns out that “inside closed societies there is a certain gradation. They can be relatively healthy and capable of gaining potential to go to openness. And they can be sources of systemic self -destruction. ”
As a matter of fact, the article itself is a passionate call to prevent the self -destruction of the Chekist community. The reason is more than serious: recently, colleagues from the FSB and the newly created Investigative Committee arrested the closest employees of Viktor Cherkesov. The head of the State RASCOUNTAL Control sees here, and not without reason, the proof of the beginning of Swara in the Chekist community. “There can be no winners in this war. Such a war of "all against all" will end in the complete decay of the corporation. The hook is expired, finally collapses from the inner rust. The entire social structure will begin to break up, ”Cherkesov warns.
He sees salvation that the whole corporation return to compliance with the norms uniform for all members of the community. Amazingly, a certified lawyer speaks of “norms” and “rules”, carefully avoiding the word “law”. Because following the laws applicable to all citizens, without exception, eliminates the corporation. And, when Cherkessov carefully lists all the violations and absurdities committed during the arrest and detention of General Bulbov, the head of the State Directorate of State Control does not occur to the head that such claims can be presented against dozens of people, of the same Mikhail Khodorkovsky, for example. Well, in one case, the corporation is dealing with the potential destroyer of Russia. And in another - according to thoughtlessness, the same methods are applied against associates to save the homeland. In fact, the whole article is a call to colleagues-cheestam to stop rattling and start living according to concepts.
Once in the text, where Cherkessov indicates possible negative trends in the development of society, controlled by the Chekists, the word "neo -feudalism" flickered. In fact, the whole article, whether the author wants whether it wants, is a product of purely feudal consciousness (however, it has already been noticed more than once that large criminal groups live as if by feudal laws). What is worth at least such a statement: "The duty of any leader is to punish the perpetrators and protect the sobbing." It was such mentality that was charged with a sovereign baron, which is the embodiment of the law before subjects. And passionate invectives at those who forgot about duty and began to combine service with business? “It is impossible to allow the warriors to become merchants,” - well, you can imagine a veteran of the Crusades, who suddenly found with horror that the Templars were engaged in usury. Or a samurai mourning about the decline of morals that came after the Meiji revolution.
I don’t know if Cherkessov himself believes in the possibility of the fact that in the twenty -first century the state of noble swordsmen can control the state. If, moreover, there is no order and has never been. There was a company of Putin's colleagues placed in high government posts. And the community was united by not at all a passionate desire to save the homeland, but an elementary envy, the feeling that they were circumvented during the first division of property. They were together while it was necessary to take away the property from others. But as soon as the property turned out to be divided, it turned out that it was possible to increase the acquired acquired only by taking away from their own “swordsman” brother-the other ways of the “knights” have been carefully overlapping all these years. Moreover, the overlord never announced how he would rule our kingdom in the future. Either the regent will declare himself, or the pope. It's time to grab a piece.
In a word, the country entered during feudal wars. Honestly, I would not be particularly sad if the robber barons cut each other. One trouble, during such wars, not only locks, but also huts around.
