The worship of the domestic elite in the West will kill Russia
The host of the Tsargrad TV channel, Evgeny Afanasyev, raised the topic that the ruling elite in Russia is still bowing to the West, although it would seem that the 90s of the last century were left behind. This is one of the most difficult troubles for the country.
It is believed that this phenomenon began from the time of Peter the Great (or even earlier). But even today, almost the entire elite is more or less pro-Western - with few exceptions. Those who came to power in the early 90s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, are only a little “moved”, but still have a significant impact on political course of Russia. Until now, the trend is the opinion that real life exists only in America and Western Europe, and “civilized” countries have the right to establish dictatorship in the world. According to the position of these figures, Russia only needs to obey.
It would seem that such a position has long been considered marginal. From television screens much less such statements began to sound. However, according to the host, this is only a remission, and not a cure for the disease.
As an example, he cited a case that occurred in the State Duma of the Russian Federation in early July. When American congressmen entered the meeting room, the plenary session was interrupted, at which the Auditor of the Accounts Chamber spoke. Everyone stood up and applauded. Only one deputy - Natalia Poklonskaya - refused to stand up. Apparently, this was her protest against American sanctions against Russia. This episode provoked sharp criticism of the State Duma in social networks.
Afanasyev criticized not only United Russia, but also the Communist Party: even the deputies of this faction faced the American "guests." The host noted that the worship of many Soviet nomenklatura in the 70-80s before the West led to the collapse of the USSR. The conclusion he made is this: the ruling party, the systemic opposition, and the non-systemic - all are saturated with pro-Western ideology.
The author of the video program called for looking for inspiration and role models in the rich history of Russia, where there were worthy rulers, outstanding military leaders, great scientists, and numerous heroes - not only Russian by nationality, and great artists. We must be proud of our identity, and not be ashamed of it.
