Brave New Russian World
From Ukraine With Love
Created 20 hours ago • Updated 20 hours ago
When Russia invaded Ukraine (with decent support from Lukashenko), they were expecting to occupy the whole country in a matter of days, if not hours. Thus, they prepared a piece of propaganda to be automatically published on one of the Russian state-owned domestic news agencies (RIA Novosti) after the successful occupation. Their plan failed, but apparently, they forgot to cancel this article to be published. As scheduled, it was published on February, 26th at 8:00 Moscow time, and was taken down shortly after that. However, the internet does not forget. We decided to carefully translate every single word into English, so more people abroad can see what future was prepared for Ukraine, as well as the rest of the world.
By the way, the article is still live (at least it was at the time of writing) on Sputnik Uzbekistan.
Note from translators: We tried to preserve the original tone and mood of the text as much as possible. Bizarre proper names (Little Russians, the Western Bloc, etc.) and peculiar phrasing belong to the authors of the original article; we just tried to translate it into English.
Russia and the New World is Coming
A new world is being born in front of us. Russia's military operation in Ukraine has ushered in a new era – in three dimensions at once. And of course, in the fourth – internal Russian. Here begins a new period both in ideology and in the model of our socioeconomic system – but this is worth talking about separately a bit later.
Russia is restoring its unity – the tragedy of 1991, this terrible catastrophe in our history, its unnatural dislocation, has been overcome. Yes, at a great cost, yes, through the tragic events of actual civil war, because now brothers, separated by belonging to the Russian and Ukrainian armies, are still shooting at each other, but Ukraine will no longer exist as “anti-Russia”.
Russia is restoring its historical fullness, gathering the Russian world, the Russian people together – in its entirety of Great Russians, Belarusians, and Little Russians. If we had abandoned this, if we had allowed the temporary division to take hold for centuries, then we would not only betray the memory of our ancestors, but would also be cursed by our descendants for allowing the disintegration of the Russian land.
Without any exaggeration, Vladimir Putin has taken upon himself a historical responsibility by deciding to solve the Ukrainian question, instead of leaving it to the future generations. After all, the urgent need to resolve it would have always remained the major problem for Russia. And there are two main reasons behind it. The issue of national security, including the creation of Ukraine as the anti-Russian state and an outpost from the West to put pressure on us (Russia), is only of secondary importance.
The first and foremost problem was the complex of the divided nation, the complex of national humiliation – at the beginning, the Russian home had lost a part of its foundation (Kyiv), then was forced to the terms with the existence of two states, thus, two separate communities. So there was an option either to abandon our own history, agreeing with the insane version that "only Ukraine is the real Rus'" (*here they are talking about Kievan Rus'), or to gnash one's teeth helplessly, remembering the times when "we lost Ukraine." Returning Ukraine, that is, turning it back in the direction of Russia, would have been more and more difficult with every decade — re-coding, de-Russification of Russian people, and inciting Little Russians [transl. note: “Malorossy” (рус. малороссы) — originally a neutral phrase, often used in a pejorative manner regarding Ukrainians, indicating their inferiority to the “Great Russians”— well, the Russians], would have gained its momentum. And in case of the full consolidation of geopolitical and military control of the West over Ukraine, its return to Russia would have become completely impossible – we would have to fight for Ukraine with the Atlantic bloc (*now NATO).
Now this problem is gone – Ukraine has returned to Russia. This does not mean that its statehood will be liquidated, but it will be reorganized, re-established and returned to its natural state of part of the Russian world. Within what boundaries, in what form (through the CSTO and the Eurasian Economic Union or the Union State of Russia and Belarus) will the alliance with Russia be consolidated?
This will be decided after the end is put in the history of Ukraine as anti-Russia. In any case, the period of the split of the Russian people is coming to its end. And here begins the second dimension of the coming new era – it concerns Russia's relations with the West. Not even Russia, but the Russian world, that is three states – Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine, acting as a single entity in geopolitical matters.These relations have entered a new stage – the West sees the return of Russia to its historical borders in Europe. And it loudly rebels against this, although deep inside it must admit to itself that it could not be otherwise.
Did anyone from the Old European capitals, from Paris and Berlin, really believe that Moscow will give up on Kyiv? That Russian people will be divided forever? While Europe is uniting, while German and French elites are trying to intercept control over eurointegration from the Anglo-Saxons to unite Europe? They are forgetting that the unification of Europe was only possible due to the unification of Germany, which happened out of the goodness (albeit not so much the smartness) of the Russians. After all this, aiming at Russian territories was not even beyond ungrateful but geopolitically stupid. Neither the West in general, let alone Europe, had enough power to keep Ukraine in their sphere of influence, all the more so to take Ukraine away. Only a geopolitical idiot would not understand this.
To be more precise, there was only one option: to bet on the future breakdown of Russia, that being the Russian Federation. However, it should have already been clear twenty years ago: this plan did not work. After Putin’s speech at the Munich Security Conference fifteen years ago, even the deaf could hear: Russia is coming back.
Right now, the West is trying to punish Russia for coming back, not living up to its expectations to benefit on its account, not letting them expand the Western influence to the east. With the intent to punish us, the West thinks that our relations with them are vital for us. However, this has not been this way for a while — the world changed, and this is known not only to Europeans but the Anglo-Saxons in control of the West. No Western pressure on Russia will lead to anything. There will be losses from increasing confrontation on both sides but Russia is prepared for it both from a moral and geopolitical point of view. For the West itself, however, this increasing confrontation brings massive repercussions, most of which are not related to the economy.
Europe, as part of the West, wanted autonomy — Germany’s eurointegration project has no strategic meaning provided that the Anglo-Saxon ideological, military and geopolitical control over the Old World remains intact. It cannot succeed because of the Anglo-Saxons’ need to control Europe. Europe, however, needs autonomy in case the States will isolate themselves (as a result of the internal conflict build-up) or focus on the Pacific region, the future geopolitical center of gravity.
But the confrontation with Russia, into which the Anglo-Saxons are dragging Europe, deprives the Europeans of even a chance of acquiring independence – not to mention the fact that in the same way Europe is trying to impose a break with China. If now the Atlanticists are happy that the "Russian threat" will unite the Western bloc, then in Berlin and Paris they fail to understand that, having lost hope for autonomy, the European project will simply collapse in the medium term. That is why independent-minded Europeans are now completely uninterested in building a new iron curtain on their eastern borders – realizing that it will turn into a corral for Europe, whose century (more precisely, half a millennium) of global leadership is over in any case – but various options for its future are still possible.
Because the construction of a new world order – and this is the third dimension of current events – is accelerating, and its contours are more and more clearly visible through the spreading cover of Anglo-Saxon globalization. The multipolar world has finally become a reality – the operation in Ukraine is not capable of rallying anyone but the West against Russia. Because the rest of the world sees and understands perfectly well – this is a conflict between Russia and the West, this is a response to the geopolitical expansion of the Atlanticists, this is Russia's return of its historical space and its place in the world.
China and India, Latin America and Africa, the Islamic world and Southeast Asia – no one believes that the West leads the world order, much less sets the rules of the game. Russia has not only challenged the West, it has shown that the era of Western global domination can be considered completely and finally over. The new world will be built by all civilizations and centers of power, naturally, together with the West (united or not) – but not on its terms and not according to its rules.
