The Russians are excellent at building great powers, they build great powers as no one else can, this is a creator-people, the leader of the Essence of Time movement, philosopher and political scientist Sergey Kurginyan said on December 14 on the program Conversation with a Sage on the Zvezda radio station.
The political scientist reminded that in 1930s, when Russia was facing a war, segregation by race and ethnicity as well as a policy of appeasement were dominant in the West.
“We should remember what the West was those days, where along with segregation and other things, many restaurants had signs like ‘No Jews and dogs allowed,’” Kurginyan told.
Segregation and appeasement took place in the US under Roosevelt, the first president who gave Jews positions in his cabinet, who campaigned for Jews’ rights domestically and worldwide, and who strongly promoted the Jewish state in Palestine, the analyst indicated.
In his opinion, the US of that period was called Zionist Occupation Government (an anti-Semite conspiracy theory widespread among the ultra-right, racist, and neo-Nazi movements) as it was allegedly dominated by the Jews.
According to the leader of the Essence of Time movement, the West in 1930s was a very particular Nazi world, which was depicted e.g. in a Soviet film Circus, 1936, by Grigory Aleksandrov.
In contrast to the world that was already drifting towards Nazism, the Russians suddenly offered a communist alternative, which defeated Nazism, the political scientist noted.
“Thus, this combat for humanism, a military combat, previous time was a clash with something fundamentally anti-humanist, i.e. gnostic, based on multi-layered humanity with impermeable barriers between the upper people (basically the people, pneumatics), the medium ones (psychics), and subhumans (these were physics) centuries before fascism… This was what Hitler adopted,” the analyst stressed.
Communism and the Russians opened the path towards the unity of the humanity associated with anti-gnostic ideas. It is the Russians that keep talking about wholeness, integrity, and symphony, and they really find it essential, Kurginyan added.
The philosopher reminded that Russian poet Tyutchev, a great thinker, in response to Bismarck’s words that “a state is built by iron and blood,” said, “but we will try to do it with love.”
“A Russian ethnic Caucasian Stalin said, ‘This thing (Gorky’s poem The Girl and Death) is stronger than Goethe’s Faust.’ Not because he loved Gorky so much, but he explained this by the idea that ‘love defeats death.’ The latter part of his statement is often left out in order to make Stalin look like an idiot. But he was whatever but not an idiot. Besides, he was a talented Georgian poet,” the analyst noted.
The philosopher also indicated that the Orthodox religion and communism have a common idea of love; it is the civilization of love, a territory of love, “but we will try to do it with love.”
“The Russians are a perfect power-building people. They build powers as no one else can do. This is a state-building people. However, this is one side of the medal, and the other one is that twice in the 20th century these people destroyed their state, i.e. the Empire and the Soviet Union. Why? Because as soon as it becomes loveless we do not need it anymore. We should understand now that love is the key. As soon as love is gone death appears. And it is over!” Kurginyan concluded.
