In Russia will be reformed force structures. The result will be the Ministry of state security. MGB – part of a special operation to build a utopia, according to the writer Viktor Yerofeyev.
The farther, the more intriguing it becomes Russian life. There was a message that in near future there will be reform of the security services. The place is still pretty vegetarian in comparison with the Soviet times, FSB will arise a new (but seemingly forever forgotten old) public education the postwar Stalinist era – MGB, Ministry of state security.
Judging by analogy with the previous Ministry, it means: to twirl nuts so that little nobody seems. MGB Stalinist era became famous for struggle against cosmopolitism, which resulted in merciless, even to the absurd, anti-West, and in the powerful anti-Semitic campaign. This campaign by the end of Stalin’s rule turned into “doctors”, “the killers in white coats”, and the preparation of mass deportation of Soviet Jews to Siberia. Among other things, and the “Leningrad affair”: killed as enemies of the people most of the leaders of Leningrad at all levels. Leningrad after a heroic siege. Of the cultural events of the MGB especially remember the persecution of Akhmatova and Zoshchenko, which completely terrorized the Soviet intelligentsia.
For a person, even superficially familiar with the history of the Stalin era, the MGB is a very bad acronym for a government Agency, in fact, worse than even the well-known KGB was created after Stalin and not resort to institutionalized torture of Soviet citizens.
Who had the idea to frighten someone by the name of the MGB? A hint of possible future mass repressions? A clenched fist threateningly in the direction of an external enemy? An angry blow of the same fist on corruption in law enforcement agencies, which climbs out in the wild sizes and shapes? Or just Martinet insensitivity to dangerous phrase?
To these questions, you will not get an answer. Because they are not.
Life in Russia is becoming increasingly similar to the operation with a mysterious purpose. This amazing phenomenon was not observed throughout Russian history. The kings built a society on the basis of autocracy, Orthodoxy and nationality – three clear guidelines. The Communists proposed the theme of a bright future, where from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs. Even under Stalin, where communism is mixed with a strong Imperial mind of the leader, it was clear that we were under the cover of world revolution to world domination. It did not, of course, in full, but many, especially in Eastern Europe. Under Gorbachev and Yeltsin started talking about universal values: the case is moved in the direction of marriage with the West. Failed, but tried.
With the advent of Putin’s Alliance with the West quickly deteriorated, but the belief that you will be able to create a comfortable consumer society faltered much later. It took several years, during which thought to catch up with Portugal in terms of life. Then it became clear: catch up. Not the ones we have in Russia the Chinese brains, with which to overwhelm the world with their products. And instead of a consumer society gradually the picture of bereavement.
Felt sorry for the collapse of the Soviet Union. Up to the tragic statements of the Supreme power was painful and pathetic. It was in Stalin’s time, formed the ideal model of the state social justice and a superpower. Add only to social justice working model of Orthodoxy and – in a way, back to former glory!
But openly about the movement in the direction of the Soviet Union to say it is still not accepted. All the mist. However, the fog still dense enough: motion is seen. Rather, only the outlines of the movement. That’s why Russian liberals believe that the government is all the movement of cancer back in the direction of the Soviet Union, for the sake of making the Kremlin. But the Orthodox Church believes that the time has come to sever ties with the Russian people is alien to Western values and to help the state develop it. And the government itself is convinced that the model of the Soviet Union – the only correct model for spiritual people.
But then it crept one important detail. The Soviet Union was utopia, philosophically built on Marxism and the Imperial dreams of the nineteenth century. And this state was kept mainly on the force of arms and General fear.
The conclusion is clear. Transferring this utopia in the twenty-first century, the Russian rulers-romance turning movement of Russia in a special operation, during which in a romantic fog, we attach the Crimea, dream of new Russia, and in the political program of Zhirinovsky is already a point of returning to the borders of the USSR. The neighbors are scared, and this fear gradually turns them into enemies. And the population, breaking away from the commodity nipples of the West, experiencing some real difficulties. However, it believes the Federal TV and vote as you want to one day miraculously appear in the superpower with all its consequences. But once the path to the thorny superpower, we need powerful assistants.
And here emerges the phantom of the MGB. Not some Committee with unclear powers (KGB), namely, the competent Ministry will have to beat the werewolves. For those in the power structures agree with utopia, and he lives according to vile capitalism. This time. Second: the Ministry is intolerant of dissent, “the fifth column” average creative class, which does not embrace utopia. Third: the hardships that await the masses of the population on the way back to the bright past, can lead to spontaneous riots, known in Russian and Soviet history. This should be taken seriously spiritually enlightened utopia Builder. And not to lose their power, because no one else is willing to lead the people to the society, combining the best of the autocracy and communism.
How these plans are feasible, I don’t know, for the incomprehensible measure of patience and devotion of the masses and elites. How MGB will conform to the Stalinist traditions of its older brother? It depends on the will of the ruler. Well, from the situation in the world. After all, if not for the potholes and ruts on this Kremlin utopian way if it were not jerked to Europe bad neighbors-Ukrainians, Russians today would be all in the USSR, and the MGB would be a good mother-Protectress.
