An unbiased assessment of the Russian leaders of all historical periods is needed, political scientist and the leader of the Essence of Time movement Sergey Kurginyan said on June 20 on the Evening with Vladimir Solovyov program on the Russia One channel.
Kurginyan reminded that the authorities are always responsible for the disintegration of the country. “It is communists’ fault that the USSR collapsed, and it is Tsar’s fault that the [Russian] Empire collapsed. Do not blame anyone else… The Tsar was hindered by himself, his spouse, and all those around him,” the political scientist explained.
The political scientist reminded that the founder of the Soviet state Vladimir Lenin is often blamed that he allegedly was a German spy. According to Kurginyan, these accusations can hardly be substantiated. However, the spouse of Nicholas II Aleksandra Fedorovna, the granddaughter of Karl von Hessen, had connections with Germany.
“It has been proven, by the Interim Government and all the others, that there was espionage for Germany through Rasputin,” Kurginyan said.
According to the political scientist, “Tsar’s friend” Grigory Rasputin, whom the Empress favored, was a key figure in the espionage plot.
“Rasputin was a spy, he was a ‘green’ Swedish agent, as well as a number of other people like Simanovich etc. They transmitted materials to the Germans through Rasputin. Rasputin was a ‘holy old man’ whom she favored, and he had access to all the information,” Kurginyan said.
The leader of the Essence of Time movement stressed that, unlike the Empress, Lenin, who is accused of espionage much more often, had to flee to emigration, so he simply could not have access to information.
“Here I want to ask: did Lenin have any information to give to the German army’s general staff? About the kind of sausages in a Swiss café? But it is clear to me what kind of information the wife of the supreme commander, who had access to confidential information, could give,” the political scientist explained.
In response to the LDPR (the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia) leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky’s proposal to forget about the last Russian emperor and his associates according to the principle “no man, no problem” Kurginyan reminded that this phrase is mistakenly attributed to Stalin, and that pragmatically it is groundless.
“It was believed for a long time that Stalin said ‘no man, no problem.’ This was said by [General Aleksandr] Dzhuga. Dzhuga said, ‘Let us kill Tito; no man no problem.’ In response, Stalin said, ‘Comrade Dzhuga, this is a Socialist-Revolutionary approach, this is not our approach. We must not do so. This is what the Socialist-Revolutionaries did, but we understand that after Tito another man will come,’” the political scientist explained.
According to Kurginyan, in order to maintain historical justice, either all the Russian leaders should be subject to equally severe criticism, or any talk about their crimes must stop. “This is why I want to say that our consistent reference to Bolsheviks’ crimes must be combined with reference to everyone else’s crimes. Let us zero this count, and that’s it,” Kurginyan concluded.
