As is widely known, there are 2 “parties” of rusophobes in Poland. One, this open, exposing hatred of Russianism, which is now the fullest expression of which is PiS; and the other, this loving Russian ballet so much that it is ready to choose the Russian president, and whose intellectual center is “Gazeta Wyborcza”. It seems that part of the national right tries to compete with the another from time to time.
Anti-communist Confusion
And so, on the occasion of the anniversary of the establishment/disruption of the USSR, the voices of bizarre compassion shown to the Russians due to the russian past of their homeland are being heard. Of course, the victims of the revolution itself, Stalinism, and more or little wise analysis of the national composition of the Bolsheviks, to be a witness (cause?) of their unrighteousness, are raised. any are besides engrossed in anti-communist engrossment, which means that they cease to see the USSR as a state creator, 1 of the many emanations of Russianness, and see in it only the arm of Marxism.
At the same time, fewer of these "friends" of Russia are trying to realize why they do not experience the russian period as a tragedy, but, on the contrary, only their number is growing, declaring their desire to reconstruct the USSR. This is how a alternatively curiosistic situation arises, in which Polish rusophiles shed tears over the destiny of the Tsar family, with indifference and misunderstanding of their Russian friends. For these others, even if they are not (because they are not) execution enthusiasts Santa II and its closest, however, they associate the period of the russian Union with completely different experiences or determinants, distinguishing it from the Russian Federation.
Colonization vaccine
Firstly, what the Russians say is most crucial – the USSR is simply a period much smaller than the current social inequality. In general, the citizens of the F.R. realize left-wing, which will be referred to even further – as social justice, i.e. the division of goods, according to work or contribution to the community, alternatively than colostrum and corruption, which, after the dissolution of the USSR, is not lacking in the largest country in the world.
Secondly, Josif Stalin It's the winner of the top Western war with Russia in history, due to the fact that that's how our neighbors see it. The large Patriotic War, and earlier the October Revolution is Russia's final triumph in the fight against its colonization. No another thought could defend compact space from imperialism, and on a global scale. Where is large nipponese nationalism and its emperor of divine position today, for example? Isn't it in the U.S. sphere of influence? Where are the Spanish and Portuguese autaries? Where are the Greek “black colonels”? It so happens that all these regimes, which occasionally the national right gives as examples of the realization of the thought of self-sufficiency, long-term and so have led to the dependence of their nations on the Anglo-Saxon core of imperialism. However, this does not apply to those countries that have survived their own socialist revolutions, specified as China or Russia, but besides to baby Cuba, fighting Vietnam or Bolivian Venezuela. Marxism-Leninism in its various variants, proved to be an effective national vaccine against colonization by the powers of the Western world.
No ethnocentrism
That's right, national. The mistake duplicated by the self-proclaimed “discensors of Bolshevikism” is to see Russianism as an cultural identity. In this perspective, specified publicist monsters as “Jew Lenin”, “Gruzin Stalin” (although not “Polak Dzierżyński”) are created, but there is no shortage of bad will in this. After all, how much Russian ethnically was the manor that the revolution overturned? Wasn't it swarming with German-sounding “vons”? Nothing, you just gotta learn that “Russians” are alternatively a community of languages, territories and history, not blood. Any search in this direction will inevitably lead astray. Just look at the degree of the havoc that Mongol raids have caused in the Russian lands and it is easy to realize that uncovering the “pure blood” will be impossible.
In fact, it would be unnecessary and cumbersome for specified an initiative, since these words arise at a time erstwhile the avant-garde of the Russian armed forces is by no means non-Slavic and even more unchristian Chechnya.
Controvolution in the Name of the West
What determined the national legitimacy of the Bolshevik regulation was that despite the internationalistic dimension of communist ideology, they had just introduced Russians into a fresh era, created Russian industry, taught people to compose and read, teaching them to be Russians. At the same time, they did not gotta do so at the expense of another USSR nations, which the Russian Empire did not avoid. Besides, even Ukrainian war indirectly confirms this decline, since on banners supporting the peculiar Military Operation of Ukrainians there is simply a red flag alternatively than a three-colour flag of the Russian Federation.
In the eyes of the Russian people, the revolution was approved by the most... counter-revolution. Wasn't it any monarchs who demanded Western military intervention? Who was then the enemy of Russia's independence, if not those who brought the nation to the head of British or French payoffs? And why did this come to their aid? due to the fact that the whites were the only guarantors of western capital, without their political power there was no chance of further repayment of debt loans and recovery of manufacture nationalised by Bolsheviks.
Hitting the Russian chest
Yes, Tsarist Russia, which they besides love to emphasize today's epigon of white counter-revolution, developed industry. The problem is that it was almost completely compradoric. Russian was only in it a foreman whose Bolsheviks were actually lost to rebellion. Nicholas II and his pathetic court did not realize the challenges that Russia faced with the improvement of planet capitalism. They allowed the Western financier to penetrate the empire and exploit their own countrymen, due to the fact that they were convinced that power was based on a fistful of aristocracy and church demagogues.
Maybe that is why the second were not remembered as “the sacrifices of Bolshevikism,” due to the fact that they were themselves impaled in all the sins of the Carat. It's hard to answer for the Russians, but trying to make them feel guilty about the Orthodox clergy is nothing more than a newspaper-born thought of making choices for them, but possibly with a vector facing a different direction.
Social promotion
Finally, the 3rd reason why the Russians shed tears for the USSR, somewhat earlier announced, is simply a period of unprecedented social promotion in history. From the grandfather, the large grandpa of peasant families came to the home of engineers. From generation to generation surviving under the roof krestianin, suddenly, he takes his children to a city where they learn about civilization and modernity. They admit Russia. This is an aspect which besides applies to the Polish People's Republic, but we displace it with a curiosive mention to the noble roots of Polishness.
Could all this have happened with the continuation of a government that was burdened with a gold car? Doubtful, but it doesn't matter, past can't change. The Russian 1 is hard and multi-threaded, but it would be good if we, Poles, focused on our own, alternatively than playing good advice for Moscow's friends.
