There are unconfirmed rumors that Dugin and Prokhanov were invited to the Kremlin to talk about creating the ideology of the future at last.

Maybe not only them, but, they say, them.

I do not believe too much, but I will say a few words about it.

Dugin and Prokhanov would be close to ideal because both are left-right.

Orthodox people who see the mysticism of Russian White and Red history, all forms of the Empire, from pagan origins to the present day.

They would be, I repeat, almost perfect, but I will say right away that, on the whole, our state has never needed anyone's advice and does not need it to this day.

Roughly speaking, no one was called to the Kremlin in the old days.

They simply knew and occasionally took into account the opinions of various thinkers and talkers.

To put it quite bluntly: Trediakovsky, Derzhavin, Zhukovsky, Pushkin, Chaadaev, Dostoevsky, Tyutchev, Ilyin, Mayakovsky, Sholokhov did not create any ideology.

Although they could.

With a very big stretch, one can talk about some influence of Lomonosov, Karamzin, Gorky, but, in fact, they are not there either, they are not ideologists.

Did the monk Philotheus, for example, or, say, Pobedonostsev, create ideologies in this case?

This is closer to the truth.

But in general, we must admit that we have always had one ideologue.

Tsar.

The ideology of Russia was created by Vladimir the Red Sun, Yaroslav the Wise, Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great, mother Catherine, Lenin, Stalin.

Personally.

Sami.

Man-made.

Did we have an ideology in the last quarter of a century?

Well, yes.

It is sometimes claimed that in today's Russia they do not know what they are building.

Not true, here they knew very firmly what they were building.

They sincerely wanted to build a "civilized world" and "European values".

Things were going quite well, by the way.

But a quarter of a century later, it turned out that someone had written “Colonial regime” on the top of the entire folder of Russian ideology.

Inside, we could make any kind of laws.

But we were still perceived as a colony, and our democracy could actually be called democracy only if we passed its basics to the director at the annual exam.

And if we didn't retake it, the director thinks he has the right to punish us.

And even kill.

It cannot be said that all our efforts in an attempt to join the “civilized world” were in vain.

No, nothing is wasted.

We have gained a lot of experience and now we can use it at our own discretion.

But, alas, one can firmly say something else: the previous settings have been cancelled.

It does not matter whether or not our fathers-thinkers are invited to the Kremlin.

It is clear from all the latest speeches of the Commander-in-Chief: he himself thought about the direction.

One word "patriotism" was not enough to understand where we are going.

It is too big and does not explain anything in a difficult situation.

And you need to explain.

If some patriots are frightened, while others are fallen, then this concept is stretched to ugly standards.

"We need to narrow it down."

Ideology formulates SVO.
