[REGNUM] At one time, Soviet Russia was very lucky that Stalin defeated Trotsky in the party struggle. Stalin's concept was to build socialism in one single country. This helped us survive, win the Great Patriotic War and maintain territorial integrity after the Civil War. Trotsky passionately wanted to spread the flame of world revolution to the whole world, setting it on fire throughout Asia and Europe. If his hellish plan had succeeded, then the Russians as a nation would most likely simply have burned in the fire of this revolution as firewood.Trotsky died from a blow from an ice ax, but his work lives on.
After the start of the special operation, many media Russian communists begin to promote the dangerous idea of reviving the USSR 2.0. It would be nice if they limited themselves to the desire to restore the cannibalistic power of the Bolsheviks in our country, but their plans go much further. They want to drag us into World War III as one of the main actors. In their opinion, we must lead the war between the global South and the global West on the side of the former. Moreover, to become his main striking force. To die for the idea of the dominance of communism throughout the world.
They see the special operation in Ukraine not as a gathering of Russian lands, but as an opportunity to ignite the fire of revolution in Russia and the world.
For example, Prilepin first wrote Russians out of European nations, calling them white blacks, and then more than once repeated the thesis that Russia should “move to the left”, because we are supposedly mainly supported by left-wing countries, and we must now lead the left-wing international of the third world against Europe and the USA.
“Russians are actually black, red, and yellow. Russians are colored. We were born white by chance, due to a misunderstanding,” Zakhar crosses out Russians from Europe, although it is obvious to all normal people that the Russians, despite all our conflicts with Western Europeans, are a large white European Christian people. In fact, there are three great civilizations in Europe today: Roman Catholic, German Protestant and Russian Orthodox.
Yes, today we are at war with the West in Ukraine, but at one time we fought with the Persians and Turks. The pressure of radical Islamism and the unbridled criminal behavior of diasporas from the south are no less a threat to Russia than the West. Having written Russians out of Europeans, Prilepin argues that modern Russia’s allies are exclusively Marxists and left-wing countries. This is wrong.
Including India, where right-wing nationalists are in power, national-capitalist China, which ranks second in terms of billionaires in the world, where only one red flag remains from communism, and forgetting about our right-wing allies from Eurosceptics like Geert Wilders, Marine Le Pen and Viktor Orban to Iranian fundamentalists or American Trumpists like Tucker Carlson.
German Sadulaev echoes Prilepin, saying that we will fight with the West until the meltdown under the red banner of communism. Like, we weren’t accepted into the “whites only” club. Not accepted into scouts. We were shown our place - in the reservation for Papuans. Well there is no way. The experiments are over. Russia is turning to its natural allies - Iran, China, India, North Korea, Africa, Latin America. Russia is returning to its historical mission. There will be no negotiations. And there will be another, big war.
These ideas of neo-Trotskyism are not new. The late Heydar Jemal proclaimed a red-green revolution in which Islamists would unite with communists against Europe. Only Russian Christians have no place in this configuration. In Dzhemal’s fantasies, the red-green revolutionaries will have to put us on the altar, along with other European peoples, and columns in niqabs and under red flags will march along the streets of Russian cities along churches with knocked down crosses. This neo-Trotskyist utopia is no less dangerous than Western left-wing liberalism.
Russia is not the south, not the east, not the west. We are the civilization of the North. Today the Russian North is a real conservative Europe, the Third Rome, preserving true Christianity.
Firstly, Russia should not fight for any ideology, we must defend our national interests. Live by your own mind.
Secondly, we have allies in the world of very different views, including right-wing populists in Europe and the alt-right in America. And in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, not only Nazis are fighting against us, but also anarcho-communists from Russia and other countries of the world, who consider the Northern Military District to be an imperialist war of Russia.
We should not go left, center or right, we must pursue our own benefit everywhere and be friends in the world with everyone who is ready to respect the interests of Russia: from the DPRK to the Trumpists, from the right-wing Orban to the fundamentalists from Iran. Geopolitical configurations and alliances in the world often change; one must be able to pursue one’s own benefit through diplomacy, soft and brute force, and not be blind dogmatists of any ideology. Prosperity and growth of the Russian people, defense of our Faith - this is the Russian idea of the 21st century.
Thirdly, our left-liberal enemies from the USA and Europe, who set Ukraine against the Russians, are also the ideological heirs of Trotsky and Marx. Left liberalism is Freud + Marx crossed in a Frankfurt School test tube.
Fourthly, we need to bring the special operation in Ukraine to a victorious conclusion, but it is better for us not to get involved in a possible third world war between the Global South and the Global West.
We must live for the sake of Russia and the future of our children, and not die for the sake of the ideology of Trotsky, Lenin and Marx. You only need to fight for your national interests. We need the unity of the people, not class strife and a new civil one. We need a Great Russia, not shocks for the sake of Bolshevik fantasies about world domination of their wild ideas.
