Reply to Navalny. On the national question, education, elections and opposition

Today, the national question is very often raised: about the humiliation of the Russian nation by the Russians themselves, its chauvinism and Russophobia by everyone else. But let's see, who are these Russians? Over the millennium of baptized Rus', Russians have assimilated so much with other nations - Tatars, Jews, Caucasians, Asians, etc. that it is practically impossible to find a purely Russian person today. And it is they, not “purely Russians,” as it seems to me, who become chauvinists, fascists and Russophobes, probably because of their false inferiority complex. Just as the Germans cleansed their nation of Jews and “not pure” Germans, just as the Jews cleansed Russia of Jews (look into history, Russia has always been ruled by either Germans or Jews, and they exterminated Jews in order to identify themselves with great Russia), so and now “Russians”, in the person of all kinds of Russophobes, fascists and others, under slogans like “Russia for Russia”, “Russians, they are killing you”, are calling for barricades against Caucasians and other nations. Why do I talk about such persons as people with an inferiority complex and why are “Russians” in quotation marks? Yes, because a truly Russian person has always been peace-loving, tolerant and respectful of other nations (again, read history and Russian literature). He does not need to prove that he is Russian and destroy his own blood brothers around him. A truly Russian person has always been a man of honor and dignity, decency and loyalty. True Russians have always been united, defended and helped each other, treated their enemies with respect, and did not resort to empty insults. This, by the way, only proves the opponent’s wrongness and weakness, the lack of counterarguments. The comments in many posts, as well as this one will probably be malicious and unfounded, only confirm the correctness of my words. Although PublicPost posts are rarely commented on, being the most popular site, which speaks of our natural inertia. Perhaps this post will also be carried out by the voice of one crying in the wilderness.

Today we are divided, every man for himself, unlike the same Caucasians. What have we become? We betray each other, we set each other up, we rejoice in the grief of our neighbor and wish harm on our successful neighbor. We envy, we kill parents and children for pennies, we don’t help each other.

So why blame others for this? If we are no longer Russians, but Russians, is it necessary to raise the national question in principle? Maybe it's better for everyone to unite? Who benefits from this issue? To the people? No. He has always, in any case, lived and lives in friendly neighborhood with other nations and will always find a common language. Authorities? Yes! It’s more convenient for her to manage us. Push us together and do your own thing. After all, no one has yet abolished Roman law - “Divide and conquer”, “Bread and circuses”. So they divide us and rule, they give us bread so as not to die, and shows... more than enough. When is there to track government affairs?

Why do we succumb to these provocations of national hatred, why do we buy into it so easily? Due to the lack of our upbringing. What are our youth being brought up on today? On violence, debauchery, the power of the golden calf. Who among the youth today knows such words as “miller”, “patterner”, “turner” and the like? Today the words “manager”, merchandiser”, “market”, “dollar exchange rate” and others are more in use. Honorable professions for girls were prostitute, model, wife of an oligarch, for young people - showman, stylist, etc. Everyone went into show business. There is no romance. And this is beneficial to the authorities. Cattle are easier to manage. Therefore, they destroyed the entire industry, and with it the entire working class as a class. Trade unions are dangerous, especially workers and peasants (read farmers), and trade unions are corrupt by definition. The ruble is easier to manage. Show me at least one politician, a high-ranking government official who is honest and fair. Probably only Mikhail Evdokimov. We all know where he is now. And this will happen to everyone, because power is a machine. For it to work smoothly, there must be only the same type of debugged parts. A non-original spare part will not fit there, and if somehow it does fit, it will soon be broken and thrown away. Therefore, such a government benefits from our bad manners, lack of education (our current education system does not provide education), economic and legal illiteracy. That is why the state does not engage in education, having destroyed all its institutions.

We, under the influence of such power, in pursuit of material well-being, and simply survival for many, have forgotten about spiritual values. What have we become? How do we behave abroad? Boorishly, brazenly, shamelessly. Why love us? How do we behave at home? We spit, litter, shit wherever and whenever we can. Without insults, at best, we don’t sort things out, we don’t respect our elders, we hate our neighbors, we send our own children to orphanages and our parents to nursing homes, we don’t help our neighbors. It’s not all bad, of course, there are decent people. But the essence does not change.

In view of this very bad manners, the worst thing is that no matter what government comes now, nothing will change. Today's opposition, as well as today's government, is the product of the people, as we are, so are the government and the opposition. Without education, and today, first of all, self-education, nothing will change in this country. Well, the Udaltsovs, Nemtsovs, and Navalnys will come to power. What will change? The leadership of the country will simply change, but the car will remain the same. It was built over centuries, its parts were forged over centuries.

Mr. Navalny proposes to hold opposition elections so that there are no self-nominated candidates. But this is the same fiction as the Open Government - it is only on paper and in the virtual world. By saying that he does not want to be a self-nominated candidate, proposing to hold elections for this, Mr. Navalny is disingenuous, since he is offering himself for voting. Isn't this self-nomination? There is no doubt that he will be elected - he fell into the category of those repressed by the authorities, became a victim of state tyranny, declared himself as a fighter for the people's happiness. But his elections are a copy of our electoral legislation. Anyone who wants to join the opposition government must nominate his candidacy by collecting a large number of votes, which, as you and I well know from the experience of state elections, are bought. If we are really talking about elections and if we really want to do this, at least approximately, in a democratic way, then the people must nominate candidates so that they, in the person of their representatives proposed by them, can become the government, as the Greeks originally intended: demos – people, kratos – power, democracy. In other words, the people should nominate candidates from their collectives or public people known throughout the country, from trade unions, and finally, judging the candidates by their political activity and proven themselves to have a high civic position, drawing these materials from the press, television, the Internet, etc. . With mandatory requirements for candidates, such as: age limit - from 30 to 65, educational level - higher, physical - good health, marital status - married, no criminal record, knowledge of the Russian language, etc. I write about this in detail in my book “The State Disease Trilogy.” Any elections from parties are from the evil one and are doomed to “Groundhog Day”, because they will only solve, at least first of all, narrowly and internal party problems, hiding behind slogans and concern for the people. Read "Trilogy...".

What's the solution? First of all, we all, the people, need to unite. Forget about the national question and realize that we are all Russians, citizens of the great country of Russia!

Secondly, start with yourself, everyone. Engage in self-education, try to become a decent person, starting with little things like not spitting on the sidewalks, not throwing empty bottles, cans, cigarette butts, cigarette packs, etc. onto the road from car windows. Do not insult each other with or without reason, respect your opponents and people in principle, etc. Engage in self-education political, economic and legal. Take an active civic position, everyone! To do this, follow political news in the press, the Internet, on television, learn to read between the lines in the victorious reports of the authorities, and take every possible participation in the political life of the country at every opportunity.

Thirdly. The unification of people presupposes mutual assistance and assistance. All sorts of rallies, strikes, opposition of the current order, open struggle with the authorities will not give any result. It is necessary for everyone together, silently, as they say quietly, to show disobedience and resistance to the authorities, but exclusively within the framework of the law. Power must be fought only by legal means, and in no case by its methods. What does it mean? You have learned about some injustice, whether your neighbor is being judged unfairly, whether someone’s rights are being violated, the whole house, street, city goes to court, administration, etc. and demand a fair trial, restoration of human rights, etc., attracting independent lawyers and attorneys from among themselves for this purpose. Do not leave the case until you achieve justice. Sue the authorities on every case of human rights violation, injustice, illegality, right up to the Strasbourg court. Everyone together, even if you are strangers. If you heard about such a case, go help eliminate injustice, regardless of nationality and religion. Your voice is the voice of the people, and the voice of the people is the voice of God. Report all cases of injustice to the press, the Internet, and television. Stand in front of the court, the administration, a crowd of thousands and silently wait for your lawyers to restore justice. Everyone should not go to work, be on duty, etc.

For the authorities, the worst thing is unification; they are terribly afraid of popular unity. But in order to unite, upbringing and education are necessary. These are the three pillars of true democracy.

Is everything so hopeless? Judging by the latest events in the political life of the country, by the steadily increasing political activity of ordinary citizens, there is hope. If we overcome our laziness, which has already become our national trait, we will be able to overcome this hydra (read power). Only together, only by uniting not with parties, not with the opposition, but with each other. We have no one else to rely on but ourselves. If you want to do something well, do it yourself.

If you create a healthy, elected opposition, elected by the people, then good things will happen. This opposition should not confront the state, with the existing government, not organize revolutions and coups, but, within the framework of the law, demand from the authorities the implementation of the rule of law, justice, respect for human rights through litigation, demands for holding referendums. Bring this government to fair re-elections. Then this opposition will be able to create an alternative Open Government on a voluntary basis, establish an independent Public Television, hold referendums on global issues, develop a program to restore justice in the country, provide equal opportunities to everyone, etc. It will be able to work effectively. I am for such opposition. Public Television should become the People's Tribune, from which the people could introduce new laws, criticize and demand the repeal of unjust ones, demand referendums, and file complaints about the lawlessness committed by the authorities and government officials. The podium is an opportunity for everyone to have their say and be heard. OT should have several channels, for example: “Historical”, “Literary”, “Information”, “School”, “Children’s”, “Educational”, “Nature” channel, “Religious” and others. Open Government - as a controlling body of the state. Glasnost and control. Then it will be a semblance of democracy.

I am making the first proposal to such a new Open Government. To reduce the excessively bloated staff of government officials, enlarge the regions by merging them, with a population of up to five million people, and combine the positions of mayor and governor. Judge for yourself, let’s say, a little more than 2.5 million people live in the Volgograd region and the city (in the regional center - 1 million), in the Astrakhan region - a little more than a million (in the regional center half a million), and in Moscow 11.5 million . and almost 7 million in the region. According to our statistics. All these cities have their own mayors and governors, each with their own large staff. But then in Moscow you need to have 11 mayors and at least seven governors, based on the ratio of officials to the population. Why is it that the mayor of Moscow manages 11 million people, and do not forget that this is also the capital, with all the additional problems that arise from this, while the mayors of regional centers cannot cope with a population of one million? They don’t want to work, they feel like princes? That's where the cash reserves are.

Secondly, it is necessary for each regional center to create standard official websites on the Internet, where, among other things, publish monthly (at least quarterly) real income of the region, indicating all sources and amounts and expenses by item. And also publish the state of the financial situation of government officials, indicating their property: apartments, houses, dachas, yachts, cars, etc., as well as salaries. This is good to do for the government as a whole, and especially the State Duma.
