Putin is not dependent on the Russian elite, political parties, oligarchic cartels, social movements, institutions, and all administrative instances of Russia. They are all dependent on him. However, he is certainly dependent on geopolitics, the people, and civilisation.
In this thesis, we will discuss not so much the pragmatic and technical functions of censorship, but its special intellectual and metaphysical status.
The specifics of conducting this survey are to describe the opinion of the 'netizens' [Editor's note: literally, 'netizen' is the fusion of the English words net and citizen, i.e. 'network' and 'citizen', thus translatable as 'net citizen'], the 'Internet Russians'. Are there many of them? Yes, they are many. In sociological terms, Russians can be divided into two categories: 'TV Russians' and 'Internet Russians', which differ significantly in their attitudes.
On 31 March, Russian President Vladimir Putin approved a new foreign policy concept. This document can be seen as the final agreement of those changes in the geopolitical and civic consciousness of the Russian authorities that began 23 years ago with Putin's rise to power. Only now, in this version, Russia's foreign policy doctrine takes on a sharply contrasting and unambiguous appearance. This time it is unambiguous and unambiguous.
This war is a war for justice. It is being waged against evil and violence, against lies and deceit, against cruelty and imposture. Yet, if this is the case, then it is directed not only against the direct enemy, that is Ukrainian Nazism and the globalist liberal West supporting it, but also against the injustice that is at times being done inside Russia itself. Wagner’s war is a people’s war, a liberation war, a purifying war. It does not accept half measures, agreements, compromises, and negotiations behind the backs of fighting heroes. Wagner PMC values life very highly: both its own and the enemy’s. And it values death — the only cost for which Victory is afforded, that for which only death can be paid, and nothing else.
SVOの全期間を通じて、ワグネルPMCとエフゲニー・プリゴジンは、ロシア社会と世界社会の注目の的であることに自信を持っていました。ロシア人にとって、彼は勝利、決意、ヒロイズム、勇気、回復力の主要なシンボルとなっている。敵にとっては、憎しみと同時に恐怖と恐れの源である。プリゴジンは、ロシア軍で最も戦闘力が高く、勝利と無敗を誇る部隊を率いるだけでなく、最後まで戦争の要素に完全かつ不可逆的に没入した戦争体験者の心の中にある感情、思考、要求、希望に出口を提供することが重要である。
The Fourth Political Theory (and Eurasianism as its geopolitical - geocultural field of application) is not another ideology, nor an ideological synthesis on the existing ideologies of modernity, such as, for example, National-Bolshevism. This would imply that it is nothing but another subjectivity of Modern rationalism. The Fourth Political Theory is a broader political thesis-expression belonging to a deeper layer of political philosophy, as Professor Dugin described it very graphically in the book “Political Platonism”.
The topic of censorship is not only highly topical for our society (especially in the context of the SMO), but also philosophically fundamental. Contemporary Western culture increasingly resorts to censorship, despite trying to present liberalism as the abolition of all censorship criteria. In reality, what is censorship if not the most radical form of censoring any idea, image, doctrine, work or thought that does not fit into the narrow and increasingly exclusivist dogma of the 'open society'?
The post-male betrays both sexes simultaneously. We are dealing with a monster, a dangerous and unpredictable degenerate, who is not a 'woman' at all, even to think so is an insult.
Over the past 30 years Ukrainians have been massively and actively taught to hate Russians and everything Russian. Entire generations have been brought up with Russophobia.
After the International Congress of the Russophile Movement, philosopher Alexander Dugin spoke about what exactly the US and Europe are doing wrong in building relations with the rest of the world.
The story of the Hague Tribunal is symbolic. Russia has never before wondered what kind of institution it is. In reality, it is part of the implementation of World Government, a supranational political system created over nation states that are invited to cede part of their sovereignty to this structure.
Many wonder why the Ukrainians resist so fiercely? Because they are not at war with us, but with the image they live in their minds. There was an episode of the TV series 'Black Mirror' in which people fought with terrible monsters, but it turned out that they were monsters made so by special optical devices that the people themselves had to wear (punishment for non-compliance) and what looked like 'monsters' were the people themselves.
In Turkey, the date of the presidential elections has been announced. This is likely to be Erdogan's toughest test yet and internally - the strengthening of the neo-liberal pro-Western opposition (especially the Republican People's Party), a split within the Justice and Development Party (AKP) itself, a severe economic slowdown, inflation, the aftermath of a monstrous earthquake. On the external front, the intensifying conflict with the United States and the European Union and the increasingly strong rejection of Erdogan's policies by the globalist leadership in the White House.
The final part of the 'ABC of traditional values' is dedicated to the letter 'K': collectivism, mutual assistance and mutual respect.
Today the ideology of Russia acquiring its own identity is being born in you, in the Russian Donbass. My daughter died for a great Russia at the hands of Ukrainian terrorists. Not long before, she had returned from her new territories (Daria had been to Mariupol, Kherson, Melitopol, Lugansk and Donetsk) and shared her impressions. In her lecture, she said: "Even we patriots, convinced supporters and champions of Russian Peace, ideologists and inspirers of the Russian Spring, think here in Moscow that Novorossia needs us. But in reality it does not. What can we teach Novorossia, when its sons and daughters, adults and children, have gone through such a crucible of historical trials to become a true Russian people. They are the Russian world.
Another part of the 'ABC of traditional values' is dedicated to the letter 'T': creative work [Editor's note: in Russian, the adjective 'creative' is tvorcheskiy, in Cyrillic творческий].
This is a direct reference to the Eurasian conception of Russian history. The Eurasianists were those Russian philosophers who drew attention to the fact that the destiny of Russia is, first of all, the destiny of the Russian people, who founded the power, created the culture, developed the language, but, at the same time, would be incomplete and imperfect if the other nations did not tie their destinies to the Russian people.
Certainly one of the most unique and challenging works of this year is the complex esoteric-philosophical-political treatise by the Italian Xantio Ansprandi, Eurasian Universism: Sinitic Orientations for Rethinking the Western Logos (PRAV Publishing), which, as its subtitle suggests, draws ”Sinitic orientations” for a Eurasian cosmic map that is emerging from the shadows of the Western philosophical tradition.
The picture is as follows. The Clinton, Bush Jr. and Obama administrations, as well as the Biden administration, have supported and continue to support liberalism in international relations. They see the world as global and governed by a world government through the heads of all nation states. Even the United States is nothing more than a temporary tool in the hands of a cosmopolitan world elite. Hence the aversion and even hatred of Democrats and globalists for any form of American patriotism and for the very traditional identity of Americans.
The first abrupt phase was marked by Russian successes: during it, Russian forces overran Sumy, Chernigov and reached Kiev from the north, arousing the fury of the West. Moscow proved its seriousness in liberating the Donbass and, with a quick escape from Crimea, established control over two more regions, Kherson and Zaporozhye, as well as part of the Kharkov region.
A year has passed since the start of Special Military Operation. If at first it was a special military operation, it is now clear that Russia has found itself in a real and difficult war. Not only with Ukraine - as a regime and not as a people (hence the initial call for political denazification), but also with the collective West, i.e. essentially with the NATO bloc (with the exception of the special position of Turkey and Hungary who seek to remain neutral in the conflict - the rest of the Alliance countries are participating in the war alongside Ukraine in one way or another).
Another part of our 'ABC of traditional values' is dedicated to the letter 'CH': human rights and freedoms [Editor's note: in Russian, 'human rights' is called cheloveka prava, in Cyrillic права человека].
What makes technogenic civilization and the era of Modernity and Postmodernity so attractive to the ordinary person, to the overwhelming majority? Why do they assume such to be the pinnacle reached by mankind, and drawing on the “indubitable” ideas of progress and evolution, why do they draw out its prospects to even greater, happy heights, in contrast to the point of view expressed in this book, Tradition and Future Shock: Visions of a Future that Isn’t Ours, according to which these heights are but nightmarish abysses and infernal darkness?
We continue our 'ABC of traditional values'. This time we have the letter "I": high moral ideals [Editor's note: in Russian "ideals" is idealy, in Cyrillic идеалы].
