How to find a national idea?

For Russia, the question of the national idea today is particularly acute and, probably, requires a national debate. If in the past centuries ordinary citizens of Russian and the Russian hinterland, the Northern and Siberian lands hardly felt the impact even of Moscow and St. Petersburg, today the situation has changed dramatically. TV shows from Europe, Asia and America, you can catch up on the “plate” even to the shepherds, causing the poor envy the inhabitants of the richer countries and the dissatisfaction of their country and its government. That is, people now have someone to compare your life and your wealth. And our country is still multinational, and thus to the centrifugal trends or, simply, to collapse.

 
And, despite the fact that after the separation of large national republics, we have, thank God, not 69 Nations and peoples, as did the Soviet statistics, but two dozen large historic peoples typed: Russian, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Tatars, Jews, Mordvinians, Chuvashes, Udmurts, Permian Komis, Bashkirs, Ossetians, Dagestanis, Chechens, Ingush, Yakuts, Tuvinians, Buryats, Nenets, Evenks and others. Not including another two dozen smaller Nations.

Although the Russian language and Russians together make up a significant majority of the country, but the key word here in Russian. Or rather a new and “young” Russian-speaking most of polukrovka, not with the secular state with wisdom and conflict with the consciousness of nihilist, rejecting as Russian history as a basis for pride main creators of Russian and Tatar polosatkin, or both Russian and Jewish the-Jewish, etc.

And so patriotism, which recently referred to the Russian President Vladimir Putin may not be supported by only the Russian national idea, though to trample her, leaving the Russian without national republics, as it was in Soviet times, of course, a crime, since all the surrounding Nations of the former Soviet bloc, why they came out with rabid nationalism of the Baltic States and the poles to the Tajiks and Turkmens. And aimed at the main creators of their state and culture. It seems true that love can not be! Clearly Russian patriotism in addition to Russian ideas need more good-quality economic and national pervasive underlying cause, like socialism, that is the idea in a greater degree of public than national. And this idea is.
 
This is the construction of a powerful and rich power on the basis of the Companies Vertical of Civilizations to combat global oligarchism and urbanization, calling the degeneration of humanity and the death of nature!

However, the difficulties on this path are very significant. Holiday travel, tysyacheletie travel and flights have also become quite massively-available form of recreation. In any case, according to the statistics over the last 5 years have been abroad for about 11% of Russians and 5% of them went every year, creating their stories envy the poorest segments of the population.
 
Even from this statistics shows that the Russian middle class is “losing minority” of the population. The opposition press gives the figures of the 6 million unemployed and 20 million part of the 92 million working-age population, and 142 million of the total population of Russia (by the way, in RSFSR in 1987, there were 149 million people, and in Russia in 1993, about 156…159 million people – where these people have disappeared?). This means that the class of poor people with a monthly income below 100 thousand rubles for a family of 3-5 people is a big part of society.

In addition, overseas oligarchs diligently carry out the ideological blockade of Russia, not coming up with an inherent aggressiveness, for which is issued a natural concern about the aggressive NATO bloc, which came on the centuries-old Russian lands in the Baltic States, Moldova and Ukraine with the deployment of offensive weapons. USA persistently drive a wedge between Russia and Europe long-term view to destroy the economies of their main competitors. Even cheap oil and gas, and other raw materials now Europe is allegedly not needed, just ordered the “Washington obkom”.

What kind of “free market” could then be discussed if we for the third time in a century announce multi-year economic blockade, not to mention three world wars, clearly aiming not only to Russia, but in Europe? It seems that even if the Russians retreat from Moscow, NATO will still be using bought on the vine world press to trumpet about the aggressiveness of Russia.

The European economy too is reeling and will be reeling further, because the principal resources by the end of the next century will be over. States are obviously in a hurry to gain control of all the rich deposits of the planet and transits of raw materials, boldly going on the content of the 19 aircraft carrier fleets and 1003 NATO bases on all seas and Straits, although I speak just a fabulous resources of Canada and Australia, the area with Alaska about 18 million sq. km. And the population there and there only 30 million people. Pogrom vanity and fires on our borders from Finland to Afghanistan to induce serious reflections.

In addition, a negative trend is gaining global oligarchism playing our small Russian oligarchs and their interests are frankly not taken into account. Of them just made a “whipping boy”. And the “Committee of 300”, which was written by John Coleman in the 70-ies of the 20th century has been reduced to 63 people. Only have they no income of the poorest on the planet a billion people, and income of almost 4 billion people.

So the trend to dictatorship “three fat men” by Yuri Olesha very clearly visible in fifty years. And, most likely, the three dictators will not resemble the fabulous triumvirate Olesha, and rulers of the planet Yan-Yakh by Ivan Efremov from his novel “hour of the Bull”. And perhaps worse, they will remind us of the arsonist Batu, the ambitious Napoleon, Hitler, cannibal, nuclear executioner Truman, rasstaralsya Pol Pot or misanthrope-pluginsa billionaire hunt.
 
Who will grow the global “legal cocoon” the authorities, in which these psychopaths will go crazy and bury its rotting the entire planet? So the offer of Vladimir Putin on a multi-polar world is under a powerful psychological and social basis. The survival of humanity in various social and natural cataclysms will be much higher if it will be a different socio-economic and cultural system. And looking at night clubs, full of stoned degenerates-heirs of the authors of “wild redistribution” of the 90s, fear for the future of our state and the planet. No Ivan the terrible or Peter the great or Pyotr Stolypin or Joseph Stalin or even Leonid Brezhnev, they will not. But listening to Obama, McCain, Psaki accomplices, you know that the limit of their cynicism simply can not be. Even retreating to the Urals we are the aggressors, not them!

And our oligarchs influence will never catch up with overseas, no matter how they tried to increase their “unjust” raw material wealth mined for 400 years generations of the Cossacks, Streltsy, exiled kulaks, members of the Komsomol and the Communists, and accidentally rated by fans of other people’s property during the 90s. All the same, not the same weight category! Remains, for the sake of Russia, to move in the direction of people’s cooperative socialism” with a relative “equilibrium” forms of ownership, but, nevertheless, with the dominance of the state, especially in the resources, defense industry, science and banking. And the weight of capital of the huge state to any Western oligarch not outweigh.

Economists of many countries put the wealth of Nations dependent on their security warm sea and proximity to it’s main production centers. And, according to the map, it is. In this regard, recall visiting a native plant of the author of the Italian designers in 1988. Climbing up onto the roof of the highest building of the plant ZIL, they asked, and what buildings are in the district. And to learn that the Association has more than one hundred thousand people and operates from five hundred suppliers and subcontractors employing under half a million, and it has its own foundries, tool, installation, construction, and dozens of main buildings, where in addition to trucks manufactured refrigerators and microwaves, medical equipment and furniture, and much more, they admired “so that you have a concern!”. Because they all support departments placed in Africa and Asia and semi-finished products carried out in the security of supply relying on the might of the NATO fleets.
 
A repeat visit of the representatives of f. “MADA”, a subsidiary of Fiat since 2001, it was sad. They hit the production decline in 40% and they hoped to sell to the ZIL, at least some equipment or even spare parts. This decline has traveled throughout Europe and the world. With the destruction of Showcause Western oligarchs ignored the unions and leaving their people without a job, began to withdraw huge production to Asia or to hire cheap immigrants gasarbayterov, preferring local residents to pay unemployment benefits with the prospect of full deklarirovanie. Full! Class world bourgeoisie was not needed. No one was afraid! It turned out that the working class of the West is revolutionary only in theory, in Marxism polutorovekovoy freshness.

So, try to analyze the Russian transport flows, at least enlargement. The author remembers that the security of U.S. ports in 80-e years were 82 units, Europe – 69, Japan-39, and China and India for 20 units. There is no doubt that they all stood in place and increased the productivity of its ports and China and India, probably also doubled their number. Whereas in Russia such ports unit. This is Murmansk, St. Petersburg, Arkhangelsk in the North, Vladivostok, Nakhodka in the East and Novorossiysk and Astrakhan in the South. The Murmansk, Arkhangelsk and Vladivostok, Nakhodka removed from the largest production centers in the country for thousands of kilometers, and Novorossiysk and St. Petersburg are fully controlled by NATO bases on the Black sea Straits and the Baltic.
 
Thus, the Russians are in a stalemate in the global trade. We carefully exclude from it, century after century, not allowing them to get rich, because Europe and the US impose on Russia a raw attitude and at the same time want to completely control the Russian transits, and hence the volumes and prices of the traded commodities. Although trade even semi-finished products ten times more profitable, and cars, planes, machines, weapons profitable commodity almost a hundred times!

Our industrial products and semi-finished products we could sell a billion people in Latin America, half a billion people in China, a billion people in India. And in Vietnam, both Koreas, the Philippines, Indonesia and dozens of countries smaller from the accounts reset is not necessary. That is, through our far East, we could have a free ocean enter the market with a volume of 3-4 billion inhabitants. And the market, where our engineering and high-tech products will go like hot cakes, and cover ocean transits will be incredibly difficult, especially since our nuclear fleet is not much weaker than NATO.

China’s effort to build a “new silk route” to Europe via the Railways of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and Turkey are also precarious. China, at best, Russian does not believe in rebirth, focusing on small countries that, on occasion, it is easy to bribe or intimidate. At worst, does not exclude the possibility to participate in the division of the Russian collapse, as he was involved in the collapse of the Soviet bloc, prompting his apostasy from socialism, the national socialist revolution moistuiser the red guards in the 60-ies and refocusing on the United States in 1978, with whom he brought the annual trade turnover up to $ 600 billion over the last decade.

So, the main national idea: the development of the “virgin of the East”, like the development of the American “wild West”, and the movement on the Pacific coast large industrial centers and full and multi-dimensional participation in the global division of labor, with a focus on high-tech products: units, ships, aircraft, weapons, rockets, satellites, robots, machines and much more, of course, including raw materials, focusing on semi-finished products.

Is it possible, starting with a shift of service for thirty years to bring the population of Primorye to 50-60 million to build the highway there, but with cheap travel for the initial development of its expanses? And what are the economic, political and social obstacles are on this way?

First, consider the motive for setting such an ambitious task as “the development of Primorye”.

The first is the threat of a full blockade of the Russian-European transit and the fall of the Russian trade turnover with the European countries 450 billion dollars to half that figure or less or even centuries-old blackmail of overlap.

Second-the recession and mass unemployment in the country from 10 to 20 million people and the need for its urgent elimination in order to preserve social peace.
 
Third-the need to overcome the terrible extinction of the Russian population by moving it on the ground, that is, in the countryside, but with amenities of the city and increasing birth rate with a task in 50 years to double the number of people postcolonialism like China, India and other countries.

Fourth – to increase the defensive power and more manpower. In Russia, there were 159 million people in the times of B. Yeltsin and 142 million now. While the first Russian census of January 1887, showed the presence of 127 million people and a growth of 1.6 million people a year. That is, in 1987 and was supposed to be 300-400 million, if not 2 world. But in the last 20 years in post-reform Russia the extinction of the population comes to 0.8 million people a year! That is even worse than after the world wars. And the reason for total urbanization in isolation from earth.

The fifth is to increase Russian trade turnover to a trillion dollars without regard to the Western countries and to raise the welfare of the Russian people at times.

Sixth – to convince the population of psychological optimism and faith in yourself.

The seventh is to strengthen the defense capability of the resource regions of Siberia in the era of the approaching exhaustion of planetary resources and possible aggressions upon their conversion.
The author believes that half of the above is enough for a serious national debate and the formulation of the national programme for the development of the whole country based on it.

Let’s try to calculate the cost of building at least a couple of roads from Moscow to Vladivostok and Magadan. Considering the cost of 2 million euros for 1 km of motorway, we will receive 40 billion euros for the entire project at 20,000 km track, or about 4 trillion. rubles, respectively-that is, spending less funds, sovereign wealth and reserve a total volume of 9.8 trillion. rubles, and benefit much more than from freezing money in a “leaky pod” Kudrin). Although budget revenues are now less than expenditure, that is 13.4 trillion. rubles, as against 15.4 billion, an occasion for pessimism I do not see. The only thing clear to everyone that such construction need another Constitution and another government. Namely, the Government of National Trust on Union and not on a territorial basis.

Then, without cutting the rest of the development, highlight for the annual construction of 0.4 trillion. rubles, with the GDP to 78.7 trillion. rubles, and the reserve of 9.8 trillion. not too hard. So, in 10 years we will get double the track in Primorye. The construction of high-speed railway is likely to be much more expensive and in the next 20 years it is better to refuse. Given unforeseen difficulties and the complexity of the Siberian terrain and harsh weather conditions the road will be over 12 years costs 6 trillion. rubles at a very conservative estimate. And, most importantly, society will not get anything new for their social development. For human development “free travelling”!

Then follow the other way. Invite foreign workers, about 10 million people, primarily women, for the liberation of the Russians from the works for the creation of large families in the child of 3-4, create a military engineering troops of 2-4 million people on the basis of a complete rethinking of the education system and its alterations, and will begin construction superbalita or surgeryplanet to shift development of Primorye.

So, we divide the program of exploration and settlement on the Pacific coast (further Primorye) into two parts: the shift of development and the gradual colonization.

This will require to implement the national program:

1. To change the system of education of youth with school unisex parasitic on the active gymnasium-temnikovsky.
That is, training in the gymnasium to conduct, with emphasis on the physical training and work with the translation of teaching foreign literature and history, foreign geography and astronomy to the observation-lectures 5-10 hours per year, based on the fact that Egorov and Kantaria, half the veterans of 1941-45 had never read Zola or Dreiser, or Balzac, but led our people in Berlin, and then to orbit the Earth. High-school students better to teach 8 years without working practices techies 8 years with practice through the week and military education with emphasis on motor, electronics, construction and biomedical specialties with separate training of boys and girls. So after the colleges in the Academy institutions to accept the youth from 23 years with the practice after a week of studying and partially formal training in 6 years of training. While industrial and agricultural production with 16-17 years old will have a healthy and literate working-techies, and the management will be sensible established specialist in 29 years, not the errand boy or the stupid clerk at the age of 22.

2. To create on the basis temnikovsky youth territorial military engineering troops for the construction of new transport systems and related programs for the development of Primorye and Siberia.

3. Possible to consider the program of releasing women from 20-40 years for the birth of 4 children and work on the land in the farm economy with the help of girls workers, preferably, from Africa and Latin America, given the explosiveness of the Asian contingent.

4. Strengthen the role of unions and local councils in the government and the Duma on the basis of the Constitution of the people’s Trust.

The first stage of shift development of Primorye have to include a little exotic, but entirely feasible project to create swarnamalya-helioplane and transport systems based on them not to build any roads, no airfields, which are devices of vertical takeoff and landing is completely unnecessary.
 
Consider the German transatlantic airship 1939 of the “Hindenburg,” hydrogen content. Approximate parameters of such nebilet with an aluminum shell and a fabric impregnated with bubbles inside: diameter-40 m, length-400 m, engine power-3200 kW speed 120 km h, range -12000 km and a capacity of 93 people, or about 10-12 tons. Modern technology allows us to create weather-resistant carbon fiber case to 0.5 mm and a weight of 0.75 kg per 1 sq m, with additional foam inside the hulls and the internal shell “sandwich”. Fill the inner shell will have a hydrogen, and the outer helium. Without abandoning the threat of hydrogen, to create a safety cushion and …
