You didn’t fight here: Russia is on the verge of a change of elites

[RIA] Obviously, in a few years the socio-political landscape of Russia will change beyond recognition, and the talented children of effective managers will have to seriously think about including camouflage "hill" and a shabby pair of berets in their work wardrobe.

Today, without too much fanfare, the deadline for the execution of the decree of the President of Russia has expired, according to which the admission procedure for undergraduate and specialist programs must be brought into line with the law on the quota for children of participants in a special military operation.

If in Russia, then from today ten percent of state-funded places in Russian universities should be allocated without a hitch to the children of SVO participants: without exams - in the event of the death, injury or illness of a parent during the hostilities, according to a special preferential competition - if dad and mothers are fighting or have served, remaining alive and healthy.

This benefit is the latest, but not the last, item in a growing list of support measures for combatants and their families, which is already filling the page in small print: from significant cash payments and tax benefits to sanatorium services and land allotments.
It’s right to display the nation’s gratitude, but one wonders if Russia will be as dilatory about this as they are about making payroll for the fighting troops.
But this list can be safely multiplied by a hundred, and then again. And further.

When the thunder struck, unlike the influencers and content creators who ran to storm the border crossings, Russian, Chechen and Buryat men went to storm Mariupol and Bakhmut, paying for our sins, cowardice and comfort with the most faithful and strong currency in the world - their blood. And now, in frozen trenches and burning tanks, they are creating a new world order and creating our country anew.

They are creating a new Russian state, a military empire - exactly the form of our state and society that our ancestors dreamed of and which the holy prophets predicted.

For decades, the best philosophical minds of Russia fought to the point of hoarseness in discussions on the topic of the Russian idea, not realizing that this idea was within a sword's stroke in their heart.

Being a military empire is not about expanding borders, because someone smart said that Russia has no borders. The historical, universal and world mission and destiny of Russia is to be the liberator and defender of the oppressed and to maintain peace and justice on earth with military force.

And now Russia is doing just that.

Now, when the scab of modernity has been shed, the living flesh of history has suddenly been exposed, which has not gone anywhere, but has been waiting for us to finally open our Instagram-covered eyes.

It's time to realize that the mothball-smelling words "Moscow is the Third Rome, and there won't be a fourth" are not from a series of mice running through a tree, but a step-by-step instruction for the coming years.

The history of the military empire of Ancient Rome gives us on a silver platter a clear recipe for reforming the state and society. And this recipe now needs to be implemented surrounded by a ring of "friends" who would be glad to solve the Russian question once and for all, but are very afraid to turn into radioactive dust.

The cornerstone and elite of Romethere were citizen-soldiers who, every one of them, were obliged to expand the borders of the empire with weapons in their hands. Only they - citizen soldiers - had the right to vote and could appoint emperors. In addition to a serious monetary allowance and payments based on the results of victories, the Roman legionnaires were entitled to a solid pension and numerous benefits, and also received land allotments, which, after the expiration of their service life, turned them into wealthy landowners and opened the doors to the highest Roman society.

For non-citizens from outlying provinces, serving in the Roman army was the shortest route to citizenship, status, and wealth. Service in the army and participation in wars were a prerequisite for obtaining government positions. Known today mainly by his dying phrase, Gaius Julius Caesar introduced the law.

At the same time, evasion of military duty was punished very strictly - up to sale into slavery. The families of legionnaires were not forgotten either, for which serious benefits and opportunities were also provided.

As a result of such a consistent and purposeful policy, the Roman legionnaires turned into a wealthy and privileged social group, which had a serious influence on the domestic and foreign policy of the state and thanks to which Rome turned into the most powerful power of its time, protecting the peoples gathered under its wing and expanding its influence over around the world.

For our ancestors, the succession of Russia from Rome was obvious and natural.

The connoisseur of human souls F. M. Dostoevsky noted that “the purpose of the Russian person is, undoubtedly, <…> worldwide. <…> We will be the first to announce to the world that we want our prosperity not through the suppression of the individual and foreign nationalities, but strive to him through <...> fraternal unity. <...> Only Russia lives not for its own sake, but for the sake of an idea, <...> our destiny is the destiny of the world."

Philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev wrote that "Russia must take an active role in transforming the world. Russia is called upon to be the liberator of other peoples. <...> We are God's chosen country, the only stronghold of true Christianity, a messianic country."

Even if we leave out the theosophical context, taking into account the multi-confessional nature of our homeland, then the off-scale historicity of the current moment builds a clear logic of Russia's survival and victory through the restructuring of our slightly rusty braces in the military-imperial way, where the benefits to participants and family members of the NWO participants are the first, small, quiet but irreversible steps towards a new Russia and its new elites.

Vladimir Putin has already told the whole world in confidence what will happen if Russia is not in it. But he said this, knowing that there would never be such an outcome, because right here, right now, with every volunteer going to the front to defend truth and justice, we are getting closer to fulfilling the prophecy of St. Seraphim of Sarov: "Russia will always be glorious and the enemies are terrible and invincible, having faith and piety in the shield and in the armor of truth: the gates of hell will not prevail against them.

And for this, there are no benefits.
