‘Russian World’ Is Merciless

It demands endless sacrifices and devours everyone, including its own inhabitants.

There is a world of normal people. Simple and understandable truths operate in it: war is a crime against humanity, freedom is better than lack of freedom, human life is priceless. In it, parents love children and care about their future. And there is the “Russian world”. Everything in it is turned inside out, and then twisted and torn. In it, war is perceived as a necessity and a blessing. It requires more murders. In it, parents determine for their children the path of sacrifice for the sake of their ideas.

Here is a family with a brand new white Lada. They bought it with the money paid for the murdered son, who went to fight in Ukraine. The white Lada is a symbol of the idea of this part of the Russian world. Where existence is gray and dull and death in war becomes the meaning of life. Parents send their children to die — for money, for Putin, in order to prevent the neighboring country from living according to their choice. They failed to give them another future.

Here's a Russian senator who rejects his own daughter because she doesn't support the “special operation”. This is also an inhabitant of the “Russian world”, quite a typical one. He betrays his child so as not to tarnish his career. In this compartment of the “Russian world” money and power are above everything else.

Take the main ideologist of this very “Russian world” Alexander Dugin. The “Cyril and Methodius of fascism”, the intellectual who called for war, the fanatic of building a Eurasian empire at any cost. The price was the life of his daughter. The pedagogy of contemplation of a corpse is the most important part of the spiritual maturation of an individual, Dugin argued. Is it worth it to sympathize with someone who received such a terrible opportunity for spiritual development? Still, yes. Like a father who lost his daughter. All ideas crumble to dust when death comes to one's own house. But it was also the choice of the parent — this precise future. When he raised a soldier of the Russian world from a child, he prepared a fighter for the ideological front, immersing himself in the stream of his ideas, values and beliefs.

The “Russian world" is merciless, it demands endless sacrifices and devours everyone, including its own inhabitants. It takes away the future, it brings nothing to reality but death.
