The current situation in Russia is more complicated than the Time of Troubles; it is a hybrid situation, the leader of the Essence of Time movement, political scientist and philosopher Sergey Kurginyan said at the 18th Russian Congress “Health as the Basis of Human Potential: Problems and Solutions.”
He noted that a question was posed in one of the lectures “whether or not we are entering a Time of Troubles.”
“It seems to me that the situation is much more complicated. It is more complicated, not better, but more complicated,” Kurginyan noted.
He reminded that over very many years a policy was promoted in Russia that could be called a “Svanidze-Mlechin policy” (named after two notorious liberal historians – translator’s note) that condemned everything Soviet. And then the Special Military Operation (SMO) began.
Kurginyan referred to the example of two situations: a Dzerzhinsky memorial installed at the headquarters of the Foreign Intelligence Service (Russian: SVR) of Russia and a scandal around a Stalin memorial at the territory of the Mikron plant in Velikiye Luki.
According to the philosopher, it is not clear why the government allowed the installation of the Dzerzhinsky memorial at the SVR territory but it refused to allow the Stalin memorial at the plant.
“Indeed, is there any difference at all?” the political scientist wondered.
“The point is that we are not in a Time of Troubles, but we are in a period of a hybrid existence, when the previous policy remains while a totally opposite policy overlaps it,” he noted.
Kurginyan noted that he described this situation in his broadcasts.
“We can see it absolutely clearly. It is an absolutely merciless situation. It contains a terrible thing that still remains unrecognized, and nothing can change until it is recognized. In Russia, one cannot want to live in comfort, end of story,” he said.
He reminded how a Russian major political official said “a norrrmal country, a norrrmal one.” According to Kurginyan, this will never happen, and not because someone does not want it, but because it is impossible.
“Russia will either be uncomfortable, happy, and absolutely different, or dead. It will not live in a nice and comfortable way,” Kurginyan noted.
