Communists and the Russian Orthodox Church spoke about the same thing using different languages, said philosopher, political scientist, the leader of the Essence of Time movement Sergey Kurginyan on December 15 in Conversation with a Sage program on the Zvezda radio.
It was a great pleasure to hear the patriarch’s words, when he recently said that “the greatest danger to Orthodoxy existed in the era of Alexander I and Prince Golitsyn”, noted Kurginyan.
During the first years of the Soviets, the Bolsheviks did not deal with Orthodoxy in the same way as Alexander I and Prince Alexander Golitsyn did, recalled the expert. Despite the fact that the Bolsheviks confronted the church as their ideological competitor, not only did they not destroy Orthodoxy, they restored the patriarchy, said Kurginyan.
“And who restored the patriarchy, and therefore some kind of a status for Orthodoxy? Who moved the capital from the pro-Western city of St. Petersburg to Moscow? And who finally spoke about the new Man: ‘not by bread alone’ and so on? They spoke about the same thing in a different language,” the political scientist emphasized.
According to the philosopher, the Soviet state that emerged as a result of the Great October Revolution of 1917 became “the only bearer of humanism.”
However, after the collapse of communism, Western civilization started a narrative about the end of history, the end of humanism as a project.
“And humanism, the word that made everyone tired, turned into something banal, something that everyone shoved anywhere they like, but it is not a banal word, it is the essence of human existence. If you refuse this humanism, you will be finished in the era of artificial intelligence, vaccination and everything else, genome correction (a person or a bug – no difference),” warned Kurginyan.
In order for a person not to be the quintessence of dust, he must aspire for a high ascension.
“And at the moment when the civilization of death – this Western project, this modernity – collapsed completely as a result of the First World War, when it was suddenly revealed that it did not even give the peace and prosperity that it promised, but brought only blood and horror… This fact that the Russians placed Bolshevism on their banners was not at all as atheistic as it may seem,” said Kurginyan.
“It had to do with belief into history and Man’s ascension, and it was described as this new Man and so on,” he added.
Let us remember that Alexander I did not like the Russian Orthodox Church. He preferred to discuss the New Testament with Duke Golitsyn in French.
Emperor’s decree established the Russian Bible Society, which included not only representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church, but also the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran and Reformed churches. It sought to replace the leadership of the Church with the independent enlightenment of the Christian through the Bible and with the help of a large amount of mystical literature distributed throughout the country.
