Major challenges exist. They are formidable, unambiguous, and obvious. The consciousness mobilizes quickly against them.
There are also challenges of a diffuse kind. Some diseases are like this… For example, multiple sclerosis. These challenges are like dots on a certain board: one square has one figure, and another square has a different one. The squares are ambiguous, and so are the pieces… and all you need is for a certain composition to take shape. The very moment when that composition finally takes shape, you die. But before the composition takes shape, nothing happens. That is the danger.

The great twentieth-century German playwright Bertolt Brecht had a play titled “The Caucasian Chalk Circle” [Here and thereafter “Caucasian” refers exclusively to the inhabitants of the Caucasus mountains. The Russian language does not utilize the word “Caucasian” as a generic term for white people – translator’s note]. It depicts an ancient Chinese legend in a contemporary style. The essence of the legend is that there is a child. There is a woman who has become his mother, who raises him and loves him terribly – Grusha Vachnadze, if my memory serves me correctly (everything takes place in some Georgian village). And there is a princess, who once abandoned this child, and now wants to take possession of the child and screams that she is his true mother.

In the late 1980s, I came to Baku as a member of an anti-crisis group, which I myself created to provide something to counteract the version of events that the democrats were promoting at the time. And also the dumb official version, which had nothing living in it – it was clear that it was created only to emphasize all the “brilliance”, all the “subtlety” and “truthfulness” of the false democratic version, or pseudoliberal, as we now call it.

Hegemony is the credo of the neoconservative movement. Its leaders have insisted since the middle of the 20th century that the United States is obliged to exercise global humane hegemony over the world by virtue of the absolute superiority of its cultural and socio-political values.

In 2020, the world was knocked off balance by the COVID-19 pandemic. Before this happened, it seemed for many of the more fortunate people inhabiting this planet, that life was built on a firm foundation, and that little could happen to disrupt it. Many people probably had very similar thoughts on September 10, 2001.

The prevailing global trend became dominant after the collapse of the USSR. They did not destroy the USSR to bestow the graces of the market on everyone. They did it to drive humanity into unheard-of slavery. And the COVID story is just one of the stages of this enslavement.

Global quarantines are an unprecedented mechanism. And this model came out of a center created by Mr. Donald Rumsfeld – a very fierce, tenacious, particularly vicious and eccentric Secretary of Defense under President George W. Bush.
