Russian war

More recently, liberal publicists predicted: wait, here Russia will be involved in the war in Syria - and let's look at your 86 percent. They forgot that they predicted the collapse of the Putin rating after the "first coffins" from the Donbass. A survey of the Levada Center shows that Russia in the Syrian Civil War is approved by 72 percent of Russian citizens. At the same time, 78 percent is clearly aware that these actions, with a greater or lesser degree of probability, can turn into the second Afghanistan, and only 6 percent of the respondents completely exclude such a scenario.

Meanwhile, back in September, 69 percent of the respondents were configured against Russian intervention on the side of Bashar al -Assad. For direct military support of the regime, then only 14 percent were expressed.

Thus, Russian military propaganda should be recognized as extremely effective. However, explanations of the causes and goals of this intervention are characteristic. 47 percent of the respondents believe that Russia should support Bashar al -Assad in his struggle with the Islamic State and the Syrian opposition. And only 8 - that Russia should join the Western coalition in the struggle against ISIS and the regime of Bashar al -Assad. The proposed answer options diverge from the Declaration of Vladimir Putin to the UN: he spoke about the struggle against ISIS with the West, but not about the fight against the Assad regime or his defense against the opposition.

These contradictions reflect the schizophrenicity of the situation: the intervention of Russia, on the one hand, fits into a common strategy for the fight against a common threat with the West, on the other, is frankly anti -Western, anti -American character: Moscow shows Washington in Syria Kuzkin Mother. The imperial complex is a carefully hidden weak string of many note -based liberals. Support for Putin’s decision was expressed , for example, the hated patriots Alexei Kudrin.

This complex is irrational - after all, everyone knows that the countries that have got rid of it live more prosperous and calmer. Therefore, irrational are also arguments in favor of the Syrian operation. The phrases "international duty" and "limited contingent" cause persistent idiosyncrazia in the population. The "fraternal people" also somehow does not fit. "The request of the legal government for help" is a weak argument, you never know anyone to make such a request. So, you need to draw with wide strokes, without going into unpleasant details, the picture of the coming "geopolitical" triumph of the Kremlin.

This is what the historian and publicist Andrei Fursov acts, in particular. He loves to talk about international affairs in chess-cards and tirelessly exposes the intrigues of the Anglo-Saxons, who sleep and see how to dismember and enslave Russia. According to him, these very malicious Anglo -Saxons, having lost their “guided chaos” arranged by them, came to bow to Russia, begging her to restore order, but at the same time they continue to crap her in every way - well, right a pig under the oak.

Thanks to this war in the Middle East, we enter into some new geopolitical era with completely different layouts - on the one hand, dangerous for Russia, on the other - providing it with new opportunities.

So Mr. Fursov broadcasts , already buried Western civilization. However, he does not begin to make unambiguous forecasts: "We will see how the card will lie down."

Another conservative-preservation analyst, Vitaly Averyanov, does not see the convincing versions of what is happening except for the "extremely muddy conspiracy", but immediately expresses its own same variety. He considers ISIS a generation of "leading Western and American special services", which has now escaped from control. Meanwhile, the US presidential elections are coming in the United States, and the “powerful backstage elites” started a large -scale change of ruling teams. ” This goal should contribute to the failure of Obama in Syria. And from Russia, the backstage elites want it to rake with their own hands. Of course, the celebrations of Russia in the Middle East will not tolerate:

It should be expected that the Anglo -Saxons have long been developing and preparing an answer to such a scenario and under the new president they may try to go into a decisive hybrid attack on our interests.

But why play these thimbles with a partner who will still deceive? Andrei Fursov has a brilliant answer to this:

The Americans may use us, but we solve our problem and thereby indirectly solve the American problem. In the same way, during the First World War, we solved our problems with the Germans and at the same time worked for the UK. But there is nothing tragic in this.

In fact: what is the tragic in the First World War, civil, revolution?

They did not forget anything and did not learn anything. “There will be no second Afghanistan,” Alexander Prokhanov assures us. And explains why:

I am a participant in the Afghan campaign, I saw how the army fought at the second stage of the war, and here it was called the army of executioners, an army of criminals, it was shot in the back from these kinescopes ... This war began at the moment when the state was very mature, not only in terms of aircraft, but also in terms of worldview. The opposition has so far been driven into a corner, it is sitting in her cracks, this is not 2011.

Prokhanov dreams. There was no public opposition to the Afghan war in the Soviet Union, especially on television. When in 1989, at the first congress of people's deputies, the veteran of Afghanistan Sergey Chervonopisky called Academician Sakharov a slanderous man for his assessment of the Afghan war in an interview with the Canadian newspaper and ended his speech by Mantra's “Power, Homeland, Communism!”, The hall erupted in a violent ovation. The response of Sakharov drowned in the exclamations "Shame!" And "Down!" And in the indignant clatter of the aggressive-listening majority.

Well, what about spiritual scrapers, with font and cradle? Where is Russia, and where is Syria! It turns out that everything is in order with this: Syria is our holy land, it was from there that civilization came to us, as military political scientist Semyon Baghdasarov told us . With this approach to Russian "geopolitics", boundless prospects are revealed: after all, civilization began not from Christianity, you never know the stone axes and other achievements of primitive culture to us!

The guru of Eurasianism Alexander Dugin turned out to be the most original. He has long included Syria in his project. ISIS for him is generally secondary and small question:

The war in Syria goes between supporters of the unipolar world, between the Americans and their satellites, their hires, and supporters of the multipolar world, who are now represented by Bashar Assad and the forces that protect it. Therefore, this is a war of worlds, this is a war for the future. And the successes or failures of the Syrian system and the modern political history of Syria mean absolutely nothing compared to these global things.

By the beginning of the Russian military operation, he dispersed something special, mystically and eshatological :

*Islamic eschatology is closely connected with Syria. Specifically with the Mosque of the Umayyads. With one of the towers and with one of the crypts. Under the tower, a clean rug is still mocking every day. You know why?

Strange, but before our eyes, one of the hadiths about the common front of Christians and Muslims against Dajal comes true. In the center of this hadith is Damascus. Latakia. A very important word in the geopolitical map of the world of recent times.*

In the Damasian Mosque Omeyaydov, the head of John the Baptist rests. And Dajal is an antichrist. Isa and Mehdi - Islamic Messiah will win him together. The rug is creeping so that the Prophet Isa can step on him.

And the belt of the Virgin is stored in Homs. It remains to determine who the Antichrist. However, this is clear by default.

But the focus is that ISIS is being prepared for the last battle with Western civilization. The whole ideology is built on this. It turns out that it is the "Islamic state" - the natural ally of Russia.

But the heralds of the imperial idea of ​​cognitive dissonance does not have. The thirst for conquest, redistribution of peace, death of America occupies exactly the place in their heads, perform exactly the function that Astolf de Custine described at one time:

The kneeling slave dreams of world domination, hoping to wash off the shameful stigma of abandoning all social and personal liberties.

This is compensation for humiliation non -freedom. It is no coincidence that in Konstantin Timofeev’s song “My Sister is my sister”, the performance of which was a 16 -year -old Ufa schoolgirl Katya Molieva, Runet exploded, the chorus of this: about this: about this: about this:

*Every soul may be submissive to the authorities,

For the heart of the ruler is in the hands of God.

And the father of all revolutions will always be Satan,

For he loves to drink blood, as his servants love.*
