We recall that, excluding Baltic countries, all post-Soviet states did not pass through the Anticommunist revolutions and the old elite was the same in all these countries. The differences between nations and countries we can see through the distinctions among the middle classes of different nations and post-Soviet countries. We noticed above that the middle class of Russia irrationally wanted and wants come back in the USSR. This is the paradoxical phenomenon of exclusively social psychology and cultural traditions. This “peaceful” transition to open society has faced the external circumstances and was led at the head with the representatives of this same old nomenclature. In this moment of violent confrontation in 1991 and later the true revolution was impossible because of the absence of strong anti-communist opposition. The population was for the most part the supporters of the old order. In this sense we, small minority, were…
Stanislav Ovcharenko. The West can overcome the Trump’s degeneranion of America preventively
It is necessary to gradually reveal the true content of political and everyday demagogy. By their nature, they are identical, the difference is only in scale. If Solonin or Lyubarsky talk about the “socialism” or even “communism” of Biden or Harris, or Yulia Tymoshenko in Ukraine – we know: this is a struggle for the indivisible oligarchic power of a small group of people, supporters of the so-called “crony capitalism”. If we are insightful – we will find that to be against the “socialism” of the present time is to be against the social package on the part of society, so that a significant part of society does not end up in the abyss of poverty and irreversible ignorance – which is impossible without the support of society. At one time, Nemtsov was against the “populism” of Yulia Tymshenko. The result – Putin killed Nemtsov. In general, the destruction of…
Stanislav Ovcharenko. The role of REAR in Ukraine
Trend: under the pretext of fighting “socialism” and “communism” an oligarchy has been established in Ukraine. In the US, Trump wants to repeat the experience of Putin and Kravchuk-Kuchma-Yushchenko-Poroshenko-Zelensky. 1. The main problem with “Trumpism” is not Trump himself, but the layer of society, or two or three layers, that today give birth to Trumps, Orbans, Putins, Zelenskys, Poroshenkos, Ficos. After all, the West is not just capitalism, but liberal capitalism with elements of a social state, which is defended by social democrats, for example. Until recently, it was the fluctuations in the mood of “liberal-social democrat” voters that made Western society flexible and balanced – where the interests of entrepreneurs and creative people of the liberal professions were alternately taken into account – as well as the interests of employees, their trade unions and workers’ parties. 2. But in the conditions of the scientific and technological revolution of the…
Stanislav Ovcharenko. Why The Ukrainians do not want defend “their own” country?
The main problem of the territorial assembly centers is not the TACs themselves, but the hopeless existence of ordinary citizens in Ukraine under the conditions of oligarchic total robbery. If the Ukrainians THEMSELVES wanted to defend their country, there would be no problems with the TACs, or with mobilization at all. The problem is that ordinary Ukrainians do not feel that Ukraine is THEIR country. If the collective West wants Ukrainians to willingly fight Putin’s Russia, they must first help not even the front with weapons and money, but the REAR – the most vulnerable citizens – the wounded with a measly 700 hryvnia per month (16.8 dollars!), pensioners with their 3,000 hryvnia (72.06 dollars!). If pensions are raised 10 times, working people will have to believe that a decent life awaits them in retirement. But the mass exodus abroad of the most educated and skilled part of society leads…
Stanislav Ovcharenko. The Main Text of New Book. Preface
Ater the publication of two books devoted to the nature of the irreconcilable confrontation between the Western world and the Lagging World (which covers seven-eighths of the Earth’s population), I organically came to the conclusion that behind all the economic, political, and even military clashes we must see the main confrontation – the Culture of Humanity – and the residual Barbarism both in the Backward World (or Global South), and the legacy of barbarism in the Western world itself, where this legacy of barbarism seeks not only to survive, but to take revenge on the cultural Western world – so that it would not be a commonwealth of civilized states, but a narrow group of racketeer states that forcibly divide the property and resources of smaller states and peoples, using naked violence. But by the inexorable logic of things, such racketeering states are possible only when the relations between racketeers…
Stanislav Ovcharenko. About the published book Light and Shadows of the Cultural-Civilizational Conflict
Publisher Description One of the goals of Stanislav Ovcharenko’s work is to show that a direct and rapid transition from the long existence of a totalitarian society to democracy is practically impossible, due to the damaged cultural code of a free individual in conditions of unfreedom. The main arena of confrontation now, not only in the post-communist world, but throughout the rest of the world, is the irreconcilable conflict between culture and barbarism, organic to an aggressively ignorant person. Culture must learn to defend itself.To do this, the author proposes to consider social processes as a type of natural development of both the society and the individual, and not as beautiful-hearted humanism, alien and incomprehensible to the bearers of non-Western culture and civilization. Moreover, similar events occur in similar circumstances, which allows us to make a correct prognosis.The Russian “repentant intelligentsia” died after 1917, precisely because of groundless humanism. The…
Stanislav Ovchareenko. The Key Moment of the War in Ukraine
At the moment, Ukraine is on the verge of worrying not only and not so much about money for the government or weapons for the army, but about the mood of those who are already fighting and those who work in the rear. People who are fighting and who work should not be afraid for their immediate future. Europe will spend less money if it pays the military itself, they will have to fight with Russia. So let it pay the Ukrainian military. And secondly, it is necessary to provide for the rear: increase pensions for the elderly, those who work in the rear think about pensions. But there are no pensions, they are miserable. There are no prospects for living in Ukraine, and since there are no prospects for life in Ukraine, then there is no motivation for war in Ukraine for Ukrainians. They are still fighting by inertia,…
St. Ovcharenko. Radical Islam as Third Flow of the Lagged World
Achievements of Arab AND Muslim culture were ONLY until X111 and early. Х1У centuries, when Islam had not yet finally established itself and it was possible to argue with it and within it. When the influence of ancient Greek philosophy and Christianity with Judaism on Islam was still felt. When Islam established itself and they began to KILL “too smart” – that’s all – an intellectual lag behind Judeo-Christian Europe began, which continues to this day. Now Muslims are interested in two professions: theology (Koran) and the chemistry of explosives. Everything. I taught at Zaporozhye universities and I testify: \ Muslims study WORSE than other students – they just consider science to be something unimportant in itself .. Lee Kuan Yew wrote that schools in Singapore had to introduce additional classes after classes for Malaysians (also Muslims) – to equalize their level of training with the Chinese and even Indians…
St. Ovcharenko. What is the future of Ukraine after the war against Russia – modernization or archaization?
We do not have a modern democratic state, but an oligarchic one. That is why we mostly build not schools at all levels, but churches; our priests feel much better than teachers and educators at all levels of the school. We do not try to translate the books of world authors into Ukrainian in such a way – how to even destroy, for example, Russian-language books, which do not have to be “Russian”. After all, the translation business in Russia is BETTER developed – and this is a fact. When translating, there is a shortage of words, terms, concepts in the Ukrainian language – but this is of no interest to ANYONE in the public space. That is, if narrow-minded nationalists seize power from the “servants of the people” (the ruling party), then we will have a semi-feudal archaization of Ukraine without science, art, real education and high-tech business. For…
St. Ovcharenko. The main obstacle to freedom in Ukraine
I agree with all the wonderful plans of Yulia Tymoshenko or the economic prospects of the economist Aleksey Kushch. BUT! 1. If everything is correct – with the addition. We entered the war with the oligarchic octopus in the body of the state – but after defeating the external enemy – we need to go WITHOUT the oligarchic octopus. The oligarchic power SHOULD NOT survive this war – otherwise we will lose all the fruits of victory over an external enemy. As it happened many times in the long Ukrainian history. It has happened more than once in history – that the winners in a foreign war turned out to be defeated in their own country from a despotic regime. The freedom-loving Ukrainians are greatly exaggerated. It is necessary to clearly distinguish between the concepts of “chaotic liberty” and “freedom”. “Volnitsa” (chaotic liberty) is a MIRAGE of freedom, which quickly…
St. Ovcharenko. Oligarchy and Ukrainian Civil Society during the war
And if the monstrous oligarchic state suddenly remembers? After all, it is not their “earnings” that are important to him, but OUR inability to defend themselves against the criminal rent of the oligarchic class. Indeed, for the oligarchy as a class, our INABILITY to defend ourselves by all available means is extremely important. Once again: the nature of society is NOT limited to economic or legal laws. In the first years of Soviet power, Chayanov, Florensky and Kondratiev DIE, thinking that for the Bolsheviks the well-being of the national economy is valuable in itself. They paid with their lives. In our country, even armed defense against an external enemy does not save us from reprisals against our fellow citizens. The economic aggression of the oligarchy inside the country complements the military aggression of the external enemy. It’s no secret that “THEY” live on both sides of the front… It’s not…
