„War and Russia: Results and Objectives

Exactly four years ago, we were told that the Central Military District had begun—a war that continues to this day. And it’s unclear when and how it will end.

Four years of war is a monstrously long and daunting time. As culture and history have taught us, such an anniversary demands some kind of analysis, conclusions, and a summing up of the interim results…

These results are disappointing: in four years we have lost our country and now we live in some other one, which is still called Russia, is located in the same place, but… it is a different country.

Remember this song:
Where does the Motherland begin?
From the picture in your primer,
From good and faithful comrades,
Living in the neighboring yard,

Or maybe it’s just beginning
From the song that our mother sang to us,
Since in any trials
No one can take it away from us. <…>

Where does the Motherland begin?
From the windows burning in the distance,
From my father’s old Budenovka,
What we found somewhere in the closet

Or maybe it’s just beginning
From the sound of wagon wheels
And from the oath that in youth
You brought it to her in your heart.

Our country is, first and foremost, an image that we hold in our heads and hearts, and only then is any amount of information about its victories and defeats, loyalty and betrayal, well-being and state of mind.

When the start of the Second World War was announced to us, we (and I believe most of our fellow citizens) felt like heirs to the great USSR and the great Victory. We felt our country was, if not the strongest on the planet, then one of the strongest. We believed that our country, despite the rise of capitalism, was always for justice, unlike most other countries. We believed that our people, although in peacetime they are far from united in their opinions and aspirations, would unite in war, stand shoulder to shoulder, as one mighty warrior, a mighty nation. Finally, we believed that our leadership, having grown up in our country, shared our views on some fundamental issues.

Four years have passed—and not a single stone remains of that country of ours (our idea of ​​a country). If we were the heirs of the USSR and Victory, we squandered that legacy long before the start of the Second World War. Our country turned out to be not the strongest, or even powerful, but weak—in military matters, in governance, in technology, in diplomacy, and in information. It turned out that our country was only interested in justice in words, while the people were so disunited and so alienated from the country that even the war could not unite them and mobilize them to fight for their survival.

When we learned of the beginning of the war, it was difficult for everyone, but not devastating—we proceeded from our own, as it turned out, incorrect image of the country—and hoped for a general upsurge of spirit, cohesion, unity, and a relatively quick victory.

Today, when we have lost our country… there is nothing left to hope for, all hopes and illusions are shattered.

It’s absolutely clear that our country is inevitably facing a metamorphosis—the current form of organizing the country’s life—the state—is untenable and unstable; it simply cannot exist for any length of time without fundamental change. This metamorphosis will be slow, painful for the majority, and fatal for many. What can we do, what must we do? No, dying on the barricades is childish and too easy; barricades are too fashionable these days, they are erected with or without reason.

Our real historical task is to carry forward the image of our country as it once was through all these cataclysms. So that the generation of our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren can take this image and, inspired by it, build something new and beautiful. Then the image will live on, and the bright past will build a bridge to a bright future across the abyss of darkness, baseness, and humiliation.

As usual, the exit is where the entrance is, and the answer is where it always is.

We need to fight for our country’s image and for our minds.

You need to look for friends, like-minded people, truly living people.

We need to find the strength to live, to support those who are having a harder time, to bring the light of reason and hope.

We must never give up, because we have no right to give up.
