Perception of terror

In the Babchenko case, evidence is important. But you have to look at things wider

The death and resurrection of Arkady Babchenko, in addition to emotional overload, introduced a fracture into the perception of Russian politics. If everything is as he says, the resident taken with a red -handed resident will soon tell a lot. And even if he doesn’t tell, the Kyiv special services grazed him for a long time to find out in detail where the legs grow from. Now it all depends on what they really have: to exclude banal wiring on their part, as well as from the side of Babchenko, who has repeatedly demonstrated the outstanding abilities for trolling. In any case, the bets grew strongly, and Kyiv banks. He has an initiative. Risks too. The working hypothesis lies in the fact that Poroshenko is not a complete idiot, in order to personally get into history without having enough trump cards in his hands.

If the SBU arguments are convincing, problems with perception will follow. Those who do not want to see the Chekist-terrorist roll in the current Russian politics will survive a painful meeting with cognitive dissonance. Those who see the roll will receive a new specific confirmation and the current model in full size.

The most painful changes will occur in the picture of the world in those who saw and knew, but proudly considered such a manner the only true one - for it comes from the great Stalinist traditions.

For people of this type, the very thought is unbearable that some Khokhlyatsky journalist with some Khokhlyak special services divorced steel Lubyansk Stirls as the last suckers. And they put it in front of the white light as they put it up: a pot -bellied bald uncle with hands behind his back, muzzle in the hood.

This is not only a terrible disappointment, but also a concussion: is it possible under the present Joseph Vissarionovich?!

I will say a secret: in reality, only this was possible. Another thing is that thanks to total control over all aspects of life (including, of course, a seal) under Stalin, such plots did not have access to the eyes, ears and brain of compatriots. And now - though with difficulty - have. That's all the crushing difference.

Terror is a satellite of weakness. Although he gives the illusion of power. Successful social systems do not need it. But if there is no success, and the authorities must be kept by any means, then you cannot do without bluff and intimidation. Stalin unleashed a large terror after he led the country to the Holodomor instead of the promised collective farm abundance. And at the same time (so as not to get up twice), I failed industrialization. What Soviet people do not want to know about. They like to live in the world of fakes, invented to death, frightened by the Stalinist press. Such a world is flattered by them - and this is also a problem of perception.

Although, it seems, there is nowhere easier. In 1932, the XVII conference of the CPSU (b) with noise and thunder formulates the Stalin directives for the second five -year plan. These directives, for example, by rail, by default are less than 15%. But in the resolution of the XVIII Congress (March 1939) according to the report of V.M. Molotova proudly says: "Tasks of the second five -year plan in the field of industry and transport are completed ahead of schedule." Typically, none of the delegates objects. On the contrary, stormy, prolonged applause follow. In order to applaud louder, before the XVIII congress during the Great Terror, 70% (97 out of 139) members and candidates for members of the Central Committee of the All -Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks had to be destroyed, elected at the previous XVII Congress (which in the history of the CPSU received the proud name “Congress of winners”). The same was concerned with delegates: out of 1959, 1108 were repressed (about 57%). These are those few who possessed real information and have not yet lost the ability to compare the great Stalinist plans with real achievements. All others are together by the newspaper Pravda and compete in the expressions of happiness.

The common people at that glorious time were shot in percentage terms less: somewhere up to 800 thousand. Well, they planted two or three million. Trinkers, right? The main thing was enough for all doubts about the victorious entry, the ground for slanderous fabrications and sabotage. Many still believe that thanks to Stalin the country has committed a mighty industrial jerk. Well, yes: specifically in the field of railway construction in the second five-year plan, the average pace fell by half compared to the era of 60–70 years ago. Infrastructure is developing twice as slowly than during the time of Turgenev’s girls, dogs Mumu and the birth of the future leader of the Proletarian Revolution of Ulyanov (1870).

But no one knows about it, that’s the trick! Everyone is happy, full of energy, the decisions of the historical XVIII Congress.

There are no truth to people who want people. This is what effective management in the field of PR and terror means.

Today, everything is much softer, but the priorities and the structure of politics have remained the same. It is possible to hold the spinning in-lawsuading fabric of the “Russian” (actually pseudo-Soviet) world only thanks to the vague propaganda, pouring uneven money into new “black holes” (which is not easy against the background of economic stagnation) and shutting up the mouths with the help of terror. Hybrid, of course; with other hands. On the one hand, he is designed to complicate the awareness of sad reality inside. On the other hand, for export - destabilize the situation abroad. Especially in Ukraine. So that, again, again through propaganda, screw the workers about the decay of Europe, the general crisis of capitalism and the enemies rattling weapons.

The trouble is that all this stormy and well -paid activity has no future. It is aimed not so much at the development of its own home (the system was originally imprisoned on another, and it knows this), but to seize power, the expansion and destruction of alternatives. And also to damage to neighbors. This is convenient: to break - not to build. But in the long run leads to lag, relocation to virtual worlds and collapse. The approach of the end is diagnosed by the growth of stupid lies and general mediocrity. Including in the field of terror. Logic like “If we were we, no one would have risen, and they would not have found traces” is turned inside out. Khalus has always been a signature sign of vertical power - just until a certain point no one dared to notice this. And now they laugh. In space, in war and even murders.

They also managed to hopelessly lag behind life: from modern methods of diagnosis, treatment and investigation.

Litvinenko pierced scandalously. Skripyle in Salisbury was undersive-like V. Kara-Murza or Yu. Latinin in Moscow. So it was with Anna Politkovskaya: after trying to poison the brigade of hired killers, it was necessary to correct the shortcomings with the help of a simpler and more familiar tools. With devices, they are more difficult than an ice ax with their problems.

Shuler or killer has a sense of secret superiority over the victim: the object is limited by law, but I do not. He is a trembling creature, and I have the right. I will have and kill. Or, on the contrary, I will kill and all - if it burns. This passes once, another, the third ... But somewhere on the account 10 there is a failure in perception. Babchenko with Kyiv special services was not afraid to brew steep porridge. Which radically contradicts the traditional perception and traditional tablets about the ranks: who is our creature trembling, and who has the right. The question of who has more evidence in the reserve is extremely important for this particular case. But strategically is already secondary: perception has changed anyway.
