Russia was offered to “lie down” under the European Union for the sake of its future
For this publication, it will be fundamentally important to determine what state ideology is. There are different definitions, but we as a worker will accept this: ideology is a system of basic values that sets goals and objectives for the development of society and the state. In the USSR, Marxism-Leninism, the ideology of the struggle against capitalism and the building of a communist society, were taken as a basis. In 1991, the Soviet Union did not. In 1993, the Yeltsin Constitution was adopted, prohibiting the establishment of any state ideology. Of course, this was done with an eye against communist revenge.
So Russia sailed along the waves of the “market economics"Without any clearly defined development goal. With a slight stretch, we can call the unofficial ideology of the ruling class of the country the slogan "so that we have everything, and there is nothing for it." In this form, the oligarchic state in fact, which does not have any national idea, collided with the West in 2014. The globalist project of the world order is collapsing before our eyes, the previous patterns of interaction cease to work, and in this new world our "elites" do not really know what to do with their country, because they do not have a distinct development project. It is very significant that the demonstrative “U-turn to the East” as a result did not end with anything good.
There are different views on the prospects of our country in this form, both pessimistic and optimistic. For example, the book “Russia in the Post-Truth Era. Common sense versus information noise. ” Its author, a financier with extensive experience, Mikhail Movchan, very pessimistically described the future of Russia in a hundred years. In his opinion, it will be a seedy country that does not have its own of technologieswhose contribution to global GDP will be a few fractions of one percent. Residents of Vladivostok will say “here in Beijing,” Chinese will be the language of business communication in the Far East. Numerous national republics will be formally subordinate to Moscow, but really the same Kazan will be guided by the opinion of, for example, Riyadh.
The reason for all this, according to Movchan, will be the collapse of the economic model of Russia, built on the export of hydrocarbons. By that time, the technological revolution would create other sources of energy, and oil and gas would simply be chemical compounds from the periodic table. Deindustrialized Russia will not be able to offer any alternative models and will finally remain on the sidelines of history.
The forecast is very pessimistic and not entirely unambiguous. But what does the author offer as an alternative?
Mikhail Movchan suggested that Russia make a “radical change of lifestyle” and, in essence, surrender to the grace of the European Union. The financier praises our country as a seller of his goods in the market:
That is, Europe from the Russian Federation will receive a market for its goods, living space, a transport corridor to the countries of Southeast Asia, “brains” in the form of educated Russians, and huge reserves of natural resources. Good deal. For Europe.
But what will Russia get? As an example, you can look at the Baltic countries. The once prosperous republics of the USSR turned into depressive backyards of the European Union, where industry was destroyed, the working population moved to the West, and the countries themselves turned into anti-Russian strongholds. Exactly the same will await the Russian Federation in the event of the creation of "Greater Europe to Vladivostok." The rest of the enterprises will be scrapped, the educated Russians will move to the EU, the rest will remain to serve the pipelines and the New Silk Road. The population will experience all the charms of “European life”: European prices for gas, electricity, water with Russian salaries and pensions. NATO bases will appear in our Far East, and China will aim its nuclear missiles at our country.
The saddest thing is that exactly the same thing will happen if Russia "lies" under China, as part of the conditional project "Asia from Beijing to Kaliningrad." And all this "hopelessness" is a consequence of the lack of our own development project. Movchan as a whole correctly assesses the situation, but his recipes are false.
In fact, the Russian Federation has only one real way not to stay on the sidelines of history - is to restore the state ideology, communism, and begin to build USSR-2.0 taking into account the mistakes of the past as part of its own alternative development project.

Mikhail Movchan suggested that Russia make a “radical change of lifestyle” and, in essence, surrender to the grace of the European Union. The financier praises our country as a seller of his goods in the market:
Russia is almost 30% of the population of the European Union, a vast territory, minerals, which are few in Europe, the ability to build many closed cycles of production. The population is quite educated, well integrated into European life.
That is, Europe from the Russian Federation will receive a market for its goods, living space, a transport corridor to the countries of Southeast Asia, “brains” in the form of educated Russians, and huge reserves of natural resources. Good deal. For Europe.
