Historians and archaeologists (maybe already foreign, and not ours, if we will die out of our own stupidity and inflexibility, like dinosaurs), will dig a Yeltsin decade for hundreds of years and will either dig, or bury the truth. We will not rely on for a while and take care of self -service - we, participants and eyewitnesses.
Why did Yeltsin history be needed? Yes, then, why did the stories of Russia first be needed by Alexander II of the Liberator, and then February 1917. And you still ask why Yeltsin resigned and why we celebrate his 80th anniversary without him. Some are still interested in why he did not drink exclusively Narzan. And he was torn! Alexander II + February = one living, mortal man Yeltsin Boris Nikolaevich. How do you like this load? Catherine transformations and soft reforms from above for the educated class conducted by Alexander I, - this was done by Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev. But under Catherine and Alexander, a peasant somehow bug land and fed himself and Russia; And there were enough cattle for meat shops, and merchants traded, and bakers baked bread, and the artisans made something; But at the hump with the Soviet economy, dry crust in the bins did not remain by 1991. So if it weren’t for Yeltsin, we would have to go all around the world with Suma, and no one would have served.
And the liquidation of an LLC called "USSR"? Neither Catherine II, nor Alexander I, nor the hump of this had to be decided, and the need was the most pressing: the Baltic countries, Moldova and Georgia wanted to fly into the clouds like a swan. Perhaps Armenia could fly with Levon Ter-Petrosyan. Central Asia ("skullcap") was going to back away, like cancer. And the "Ushains" (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus) could swim like pikes. But not the three of them, but each at their own peril and risk. And they sailed our pikes each of their deadlines (Ukraine - the longest, to Yanukovych; Belarus is not very long, to Lukashenko; and Russia - to Putin). After that, all three pikes were urgently transformed into crayfish and crawled to catch up with a tunnel detachment.
Yeltsin did not weigh, did not measure. He destroyed the "world of violence and powerlessness", that is, socialism, to the ground. He chopped this dead forest, and weighty chips flew; He cut not a window to Europe, but demolished the entire Great Soviet Wall. He smashed the whole building with a bulldozer, and a roof fell on us. This was the happiness, the happiness of the demolition of the concentration camp of the kindergarten type, in which everyone was vegetated. But it didn’t reach the base, the foundation of the system turned out to be inside, for it sprouted in essence, at the level of the genome. Some bricks remained from him in Yeltsin itself. They pushed him to the war with Chechnya and to the stupid raid of paratroopers in Protina. They forced him to save his enemy - riot police, Parfenov, cling to Transnistria, pulling a bagpipe with the Russian -Belarusian Union, although Luke Yeltsin hated and all the time tried to get into his place.
An elderly apparatchik Yeltsin did not read Samizdat, did not sniff out a western cheerful liberty, but in his heart he gained such moral resources that he learned the main thing: he hated the USSR and communism, fell in love with freedom and realized that it could not be deduced. And the fact that he was not just a strong, but also a kind, good person, and made him a launch vehicle that brought to the orbit of Gaidar, Chubais and other reformal youth. All of the democrats offended by the fate and the people, about whom Yeltsin said that they would not go anywhere without him, and who, indeed after 2000, immediately went under the tail and were completely powerless, the question froze forever: why did he not finish his great transformations? And you will never finish them without a folk mandate. Having freed the peasants, Alexander II received a Karakozovsky shot, another 5 attempts and, in the end, a deadly bomb from the "people's will". This is from the intellectuals to which he gave the courts of jury and university liberties. And the people, regretting a sweet bar's piece, did not value the will into anything and demanded the land, and the alien. I wonder why the American blacks, freed by the battleship at the same time, did not demand that they be given the plantations of their former white gentlemen?
Alexander II was an anointed of God, at least he could not ask anyone for permission. And contrary to the peasants and landowners, he carried out great reforms. And Yeltsin did not have a mandate either on Belovezhskaya Pushch or the construction of capitalism. And from the rating, a stub of 6 percent of support remained very quickly. He struck the country from its previous idiocialist path, put it on the rails, gave a light kick - and whether his fault has not gone anywhere, but still sits in a uninverted carriage.
The refined intellectual Yegor Gaidar did not even reach the 60th birthday, killed by spit, insults, hatred of the country he had saved. Yeltsin, a mighty native of the unfinished Russian peasantry, the last “fist” of Russia, lasted longer, but in the end red, pink, brown, cream, panties, weaklings, fools, sutures finished off him. How is it in the film of the former democrat Vladimir Bortko "Dog heart"? "The White Army is defeated, no one will break the Red Army." Biomass always wins, if there is a lot of it.
We were doomed from the very beginning, because the era of Franco and Juan Carlos with European values, or Pinochet and European parliamentarism, or Mannerheim and the current Finnish structure never coincide. First, civil war, great blood, victory, physical extermination of the Communists where they were at the forefront. And then freedoms, rights, honest elections, European rules of life and games. Spain passed through this, Finland and Chile passed, Taiwan passed. In France, De Gaulle solved this problem.
And Yeltsin had to be both Gavel and Pinochet at the same time. This does not happen, and he could not. He tried to be a liberal president, and the king was made of him. "Yeltsin, Yeltsin, you are mighty, you will disperse flocks of clouds." But he could only be a good king, he could not drive the disagreements to the stadiums and to concentration camps, unfortunately, like Mannerheim, to smash the working quarters from guns, bury 20 thousand people on one day, save Finland and move on. Even after 160 corpses of 1993 he could not step over, in 1993 the reforms were stuck. Yeltsin realized that it would be necessary to follow the corpses. After all, real reforms would be in the lazy, weel to work and escape to the country without industry and agriculture by real vivisection. Consider that Gaidar stroked you with a paw.
Real reforms are the closure of agro- and auto industry, evacuation from the single -industry towns, the elimination of the KGB, the complete restructuring of the army, the rejection of the military draft and imperial ambitions, the public work to create roads and infrastructure in the east of the country, this is a rejection of a comprehensive social collections. And all this would cause just the extinction of those who would not have managed or would not want to adapt, riots, uprisings, dozens of "Lena shootings", dozens of malicious rebellious white houses.
Yeltsin and Lenin did not dare to bury that he could not go through the blood and was afraid of the riot of the Communists. So where, by the way, he took Franco Falang, the Catholic Army of Spain or Pinochet's troops instead of our red, worker-peasants? In addition, in Spain, the majority did not want to build Stalinism at all, and behind the Pinochet was a middle class, and the prospect of the Cuban version caused the most Chileans horror. By the way, we have a person who can be mannerheim and a pinocet that can not be considered losses and not to look back. And call him Anatoly Chubais. God forbid him and we live until the day when the Russians come for him and say that they are ready for anything.
And Yeltsin spared people. And not to us, herbivorous humanists, to condemn him for this. He had to hear good words from us a little. He was betrayed by him, blessed by him without any conditions, for nothing, on credit, the intelligentsia. He made for Russia no less than Peter I, but to hang on the Kremlin wall and cut his heads to chop.
Yes, he believed the ferret, sneaking into our chicken coop and choked on all chickens. But after all, the cunning of Berezovsky believed him and brought this gift by the handle to the Kremlin. Where was the idealist Sobchak and the ingenuous Yeltsin to compete with the habitat of the Kagabashnik! So “to the ground” did not work out, but about “then” - it was at our discretion, he gave us a chance, but everything turned out according to the Gospel, where it is said that it was not necessary to give the shrines to the dogs and throw beads in front of the pigs. By the way, Yeltsin did not force us to vote for Putin. We had a choice - where were your eyes, dear Russians? You loved Yeltsin so much that you were ready to vote without looking? You did not vote for the successor of Yeltsin, at that moment you did not give a damn about Yeltsin. Russia wanted Stalin, a firm hand, victory over Chechnya, the Soviet anthem, the Soviet swill, confrontation with the West. The true successor of Yeltsin, the successor of his soul was Boris Nemtsov, because they coincided morally, Nemtsov Yeltsin chose for kindness, fidelity and courage. But he did not stop at this choice, because he knew: Russia would not vote for such a good person.
A couple of puzzles. The main mystery is Chechnya. The fact is that Yeltsin did not consider the Chechens his, Russians, and, alas, he is not alone. And opponents of the war in Chechnya, to the question of what to do with this Chechnya, answered that negotiations should be held. Few people were ready to give independence. When Yeltsin realized that the Chechens are worthy enemies, he did what once Alexander II is the liberator. Khasavyurt was de facto independence. After all, Alexander also left the inconsistent Chechens alone and did not pay attention. And the last question: why was he silent when Putin destroyed the work of his hands? Firstly, he was held by the throat, he had too many grandchildren. And then there was no one to appeal to. The indifferent West, indifferent country, indifferent business, servile or hateing his intelligentsia. Yeltsin died on the ruins of his reforms.
The Man-Gora has gone forever. Dance on his grave, lilliputs.
