Who and how destroys Russia from within
Political scientist and public figure Valery Korovin in the framework of the International Eurasian Movement repeatedly raised questions about the development of traditional religions. But at the same time, he notes that not every religion is useful for Russia. There are such creeds that cause outright harm to society.
In his speech at the round table “Observance of the right to freedom of conscience in the modern world: main trends and challenges”, which took place at the Public Chamber in late April, the political scientist recalled that in 1990 one of the religious leaders, Moon Song Men, arrived in Sovetsky Union where he met with Gorbachev. After that, he and his wife received permission to preach their destructive religion in schools and universities of the country.
Soon after, a state of complete permissiveness developed in Russia at all. Any organization that called itself religious could freely plant its teaching. But many of them simply corrupted society, because they preached alien values. Destructive sects appeared that played a negative role.
Religious freedom, Korovin noted, is a two-edged phenomenon. With the help of faith, you can consolidate society, but you can destroy it. Moreover, consolidation is possible, in his opinion, only on the basis of traditional faiths that have long been rooted in Russia.
As for Western countries, they often use the religious factor to incite contradictions in society and, ultimately, to destroy entire states. At the same time, in the West itself, not all is well with religious freedoms. There, this value, like many others, is understood in its own way.
The political scientist noted that in Russia universal values are largely built on Orthodox traditions. And for the West, the priority is the liberation from everything that restricts the freedom of the individual. And traditions and public morality can restrain. Therefore, they often fight against traditional beliefs.
Worst of all, that "human rights" and "universal values" are imposed on other countries, including Russia. Thus, there are attempts to split society, to wreak havoc and contradiction. Moreover, those values that are Western policy imposed on other countries, not at all cultivated in the western states themselves. For example, in some countries of Europe, churches organize shopping centers and organize discos. In some places it is forbidden to wear body crosses.
And, if the Soviet Union was blamed in the West for “eradicating” religion, now they accuse Russia of not being liberal enough, but supporting traditional religions too much. “Human rights activists” like to say that in Russia “the wrong rights”, “the wrong values”, “the wrong freedom”, etc.
Korovin believes that there are two ways to counter this. Firstly, to maintain their own traditions on the territory of Russia, cutting off what is alien to society. Secondly, to point out the shortcomings that exist in Western society, the facts of violation of religious freedoms, etc.

If we do not achieve some strategic balance on this issue, if we do not respond by the same serious methods to aggression that destroys our society from the inside, we cannot build this strategic parity similar to the strategic parity that emerged when the nuclear deterrence tool was created
