The Russian-Ukrainian War - The Tsar's Patriotism

Sep 13, 2022 (edited)

Recently, Ukraine has advanced very quickly in Kharkov Olbast , breaking the deadlock on the front since mid-March, making Ukrainians more danced. Of course, the Ukrainian war is still early, and there are many surprises on the battlefield. matter.

How fast is the Ukrainian army advancing these days? Pro- Russian blogger Rbyar (Fisherman) [1] [2] drew the following battle map on September 8, 2022.

Note: AFU = Ukrainian Army

A few days later, Izyum (Izyum) , the important military location in the picture, has been controlled by the Ukrainian army. Izyum (Izyum) is an important town with a lot of arms. When the Russian army retreated, it was too late to take away a lot of arms. The supplies fell into the hands of the Ukrainian army.

The picture drawn by Rbyar on September 11, 2022 is like this [3] (this one is in support of Russia), you can see the results of this attack by the Ukrainian army.

It was somewhat unexpected for all parties that the situation of the war became like this, and it is also very interesting to see the reactions of all parties.

There is a pro-Russian blogger called RWApodcast [4] . This is a hard-core Russian nationalist, and his position can be understood as "Huanghan" corresponding to "Huanghan".

RWApodcast recently had a very interesting text.

Putin in the eyes of people outside Russia is more interesting than Putin in the eyes of real Russians. To the Western world, Putin is a James Bond-esque villain, and to those in the south of Russia, Putin is a powerful strongman.

But for the Russian world, Putin's behavior was predictable and eclectic, and all he did was to freeze Russian political life.

Putin's message to the interior of Russia was this: You don't get too sharp and try to be the leader, you don't get too fanatical, and you shouldn't get involved in anything in politics unless you're allowed to.

You just need to live your ordinary daily life, and treat it as if everything has nothing to do with you, the overall situation of the country is OK, and go to sleep in peace.

Putin may have been a secretive Konstantin Leontievist .

Porter note: RWApodcast took a clip explaining what a Leontievist is, to the effect that those in power should do everything they can to maintain the current balance of power and allow long-term irreversible change to come as slowly as possible.

The first thing Putin did after taking office was to dismantle the general mobilization capabilities of the Russian Federation. The second Chechen war was probably Russia's first "contract war".

That's why I don't believe Putin will initiate the general mobilization, because the general mobilization will turn the society "tuned" before Putin upside down.

The above is the rant of RWApodcast . There are several interesting points in this passage. It can be understood that the patriotism of the tsar, the patriotism of the court aristocracy, the patriotism of the young warriors and the patriotism of the common people do not necessarily point in the same direction.

For the Russian tsar, his biggest concern was not actually how strong the country was. The tsar's biggest concern was to maintain a very high degree of control over the country.

However, for those under the banner of nationalism and patriotism, external prosperity is the number one priority. They can also use the banner of patriotism and follow the pace of the country's war to achieve a rise in class or gain more benefits. They are not in the system. Climb to the position they want in the middle, and they can be regarded as "young warriors".

'Too aggressive' Kaiser-Russian nationalist Igor Girkin (Strelkov)

Igor Girkin (Strelkov) is such an "enterprising" imperial Russian nationalist. What he did in the Donbass region of Ukraine in 2014 can be regarded as "cutting first and then playing", "going down and going up" and "too sharp-edged", Girkin ( Strelkov eventually fell out with the Kremlin and was forced to return to Moscow to retire and do some scattered peripheral work.

Girkin (Strelkov) takes his young wife everywhere to raise money for the Donbas militia, the emperor Russia has become one of the most popular Internet celebrities in the Ukraine war in 2022, and the drama continues, helping Kremlin bigwigs to name and speak It went straight to the ear, but it has not been silenced so far. I was a KOL in Moscow, and my father-in-law was killed in the front line of Donbass.

The conflict between the tsar and the youth nationalists lies in the fact that the tsar wanted strong control over the state apparatus and sought stability, while the youth wanted the situation to be as radical as possible, and to seek change. From the outside, the tsar and the young warriors are aggressive hawks, and the tsar is the leader of the hawks. However, in fact, the tsar does not want these "overly aggressive patriots" to have more power. He is afraid of these The man in the patriotic flag got off the reins.

Because of this background, RWApodcast and others feel that what Putin does is always predictable, gentle and eclectic, stable and conservative, and even dull and unsurprising. Putin, the head of the Kremlin, just wants to suppress those who have "I am super patriotic" tattooed on their foreheads. Some fanatics in this group of patriots can bring their own food and weapons to go to Udong as a volunteer army. Fight once in the morning, noon and night. These people really think they can die for mother russia.

Some observers will interpret these discordant phenomena as "Putin is actually a moderate, and he has been suppressing extremist forces." This is somewhat of a misinterpretation.

The Ukrainian war this time was a decision made by Putin and his inner circle. Russia sent conscripts who could not be sent abroad by law and who had been trained for only a few months to the battlefield as cannon fodder and then died. The tsar did not care. Ancestry, brotherhood", but all the thermobaric bombs that should be put on the Ukrainian battlefield. For Putin, the Ukrainians are consumables, and the Russians are also consumables. indicators, then President Putin would be one of the most prominent military leaders.

Speaking of foreign aggression, the tsar is the same as these "young and enterprising dreamers" who are fighting for war. Putin uses the propaganda machine to constantly "educate" the people that "the West's heart will not die", and political propaganda is not even in the field of popular fiction. Forget it, see about this

Russo-Ukrainian War - Moving - Sergej Sumlenny - How did Russia use popular popular culture to prepare for war?

The contradiction between the tsar and the war-seekers is only that the "young dreamers" long for more autonomy and initiative, they feel that they can obtain more benefits for the country with higher autonomy, while the czar believes that "I If you don't give it, you can't take it." "If I don't use you, you will obediently report to me and return home."

Therefore, in addition to suppressing "Russian-style political liberals", "potential political opponents" and "revolutionaries from all walks of life", Putin also suppressed a group of heroes whose hearts were drawn to Moscow.

Under this consideration, the famous Russian website Sputnik & Pogrom [5] and some Russian nationalist websites were blocked [6].

The tsar is not "unpatriotic", but the tsar's "patriotism" has a very high controllable standard. As a subordinate, you must not be too sharp, you must not be too high, you must not have too much subjective initiative , the tsar If you want to sing the national anthem at 10:15 tomorrow, you can't arrive 1 hour early to warm up and then call your family and friends to sing a chorus.

Some observers see this, or feel that "Oh, the emperor is still rational and wants to follow the middle way", which is more or less just a misunderstanding.

The tsar mainly takes our interests as the root, so he will do some things that appear rational from the outside. Similarly, the tsar will also do some crazy and irrational behaviors that appear to be crazy and irrational from the outside. The logic behind "rational" and "irrational" here is unified, and this has nothing to do with the Tsar's mood. It is to do these emperor's mental operations in a conditional response.

Young dreamers pour cold water on these officials

Some people seek to integrate into the establishment of well-behaved loyal ministers who become the food of the Food Emperor
Some people feel that their patriotism has suffered great grievances, thinking that it is all the fault of incompetent and corrupt imperial bureaucrats who not only cannot share the tsar's worries, but also know how to dig the walls of the empire every day.

However, the court aristocrats actually knew what the tsar needed better than these "grassroots righteous indignation". They had unswerving loyalty to the tsar, and had a layout of interests that highly overlapped with the tsar. Young and strong dreamers felt that as long as the Qing monarch was on the side, he could achieve a generation of Ming monarchs and revive the country. But the court aristocracy became like this, which was originally the reason for the tsar's preference.

The tsar did not care how much the court nobles slandered and complained after receiving the order. The tsar only cared that after receiving the order, these people would firmly carry out some things that they felt were meaningless.

And what's wrong with the palace nobles eating and drinking every day? Does this not mean that there is no ambition and no political initiative? This is the perfect loyal minister Aiqing in the eyes of the tsar! The so-called "executive ability" does not mean that you have to help the leader do everything before the leader asks you to do it. The real "executive ability" is that the leader has a dream and asks you to do anything, and you will make the leader's dream. That exact same phantom, when it succeeds, the glory goes to the leader, Shengming, and when it fails, it finds someone to take the blame and say that his subordinates misinterpreted his intentions.

Court aristocrats are not without merit. Their IQs are above the average of all Russia. In addition to being familiar with the Kremlin's palace fighting culture, the aristocrats have one or more skills. These elites survived and continued to exert their value in the Silovik military special interest group with President Putin as the core, passing on their vision and class success to their children and the next generation, and some of the real things to be done to the leaders' satisfaction. It is not an easy task to complete in a way, and it is not easy to please the Supreme just by acting like an actor.

Some court nobles will train their children to stay in the country to become their successors, and some choose to send them to Europe, America, Australia and Canada to become the new faces of the local middle and upper classes. It is not shameful to do these things. Performance.

Patriotic fanatics always feel that as long as Russia is mobilized, Russia can pile up so many recruits on the front line to kill Ukraine, and Russia will survive and die here. Imperial-Russian nationalists like Igor Girkin (Strelkov) kept talking about the general mobilization after the war, and kept scolding the Kremlin dwarf and the glued version of the marshal for being idiots until the wartime system was not activated, so that some contract soldiers could still find a way to hide Dropped to serve in Ukraine.

The young dreamers thought so, but they did not consider that although the general mobilization increased Russia's literal military strength (which may not be smoothly translated into the living combat effectiveness of modern warfare), it also increased the political risk that the tsar had to face.

Kamil Galeev , a Tatar born in Russia, has an analysis[7] , to the effect that he imagines a bunch of civilians with weapons and thousands of people gathered together. In the past, imperial tactics used to beat these people into pieces and disorganized. Power and tandem are monitored, and the opposition from all sides has been occupied by the tsar. Over the years, the image of the invincible tsar has been very deep in the hearts of the Russian obedient people, which made the Russian obedient people spontaneously feel that they have contributed to the imperial system. It is the right answer to life.

The political enthusiasm of the civilians mostly comes from the "patriotic national wisdom" under the care of the Tsar's glory. In this dream, there is no separation from the empire like a petri dish, which is highly controllable. However, the real war is changing rapidly, and there are too many uncontrollable things. Gathering the bad guys together and sending out weapons may be the release of a beast of separation. Once the battlefield encounters a huge defeat, these bad guys will roll back into the Kremlin.

When people such as RWApodcast see this, they will complain that the Tsar dismantled the mobilization system inherited from the Soviet Union, which is a self-abolition of martial arts and ruined the foundation of the ancestors, but this same group of people highly respect the absolute monarchy and think that democracy is all It is a plaything for children's brains, proud that we have a strong tsar, and believes that absolute monarchy can make Russia have a better future.

These Russian hardcore nationalists often come to a difficult crossroads of thought

Some of them will face reality
Some of them think that the monarch is mediocre, but our patriotism can spark a prairie fire
Still others will choose novel self-consistent paths - Conspiracy Theory Historiography
other

Those who choose 3. The path of historical invention will ask themselves

"Why would the Tsar do this? Wouldn't it be bad for the Empire?"

Answer yourself

"Because the Tsar is under British secret control!!! Russia is a secret British colony!!!"

Historical inventor and conspiracy theorist Dmitry Galkovsky

Conspiracy theory magicians and historical inventors such as Dmitry Galkovsky fought for the Russian national ideology in this way, infiltrating social culture with memes and popular stalks. Galkovsky created a word called "noviop", which is widely used [8]. For the reluctant counterpart, you can refer to the word "white left" invented by Li Shuo.

Magical historians such as Galkovsky made the Russians take the "heavy history of the persecution of the Russian nation" as a realistic view of history, leaving their characteristic traces on the skyline of Russian nationalism, and these traces are more than the over-named Du Gold left much deeper.

The blocked imperial Russian website Sputnik & Pogrom was influenced by Galkovsky; some people in Russia who had a little influence on the public were also attracted by Galkovsky ’s historical view of conspiracy theories, and regarded it as the right direction to find the truth to guide the journey of the empire, such as the Russian Pskov The former governor of the state, Evgeniy Mikhailov [9] , has also done a show with Girkin (Strelkov) .

The writers of historical inventions are highly innovative in the field of fantasy thought. They may not necessarily look down on the puppets of the Kremlin. They who "love the country and love the tradition" may think that they have seen the fog of history and know about the Freemasonry, the Holy See, the British The deepest mysteries of Christ, they may think that their actions succeeded in imitating the deeds of the Orthodox Holy Fool (διά Χριστόν σαλό / Holy Fool / Foolishness for Christ) , enlightening the world in a mysterious and mysterious way.

About Dmitry Galkovsky Jumpable

The preference for "conspiracy theory view of history" is not limited to writers like Galkovsky . In President Putin's innermost circle, Nikolai Patrushev , who was born in KGB and has controlled FSB for about 8 years, is also an in-depth user of conspiracy theory [9]. The eldest son of the former head of the plate is the Minister of Agriculture of Russia.

Nikolai Patrushev, a close associate of Putin's inner circle

The tsar has the patriotism of the tsar, the court aristocracy has the patriotism of the court aristocracy, the young dreamers also have their patriotism, and the patriotism of the common people is the low-profile version of the above-influenced large miscellaneous paintings. Eat what suits your taste. In the controllable democratic political style under the rule of the tsar, the Hungry National Assembly has various performances that satisfy the preferences of the common people, whether it is right or left, gods or no gods, traditions You can choose from modern.

Religion and ideology are the sanctuary for civilians to seek spiritual comfort. In the face of the reality of suffering, many people cannot find a way out in the wilderness of meaning. People are both afraid of death, and unable to give themselves a "from baby to grave, life." For what?” one-stop narrative.

Some people insist on "independent thinking", and some people's "independent thinking" means "I went into the cafeteria independently and picked what I found most appetizing, and who made the buffet and why did it suit their tastes?" Not in their consideration, they feel that they have made a 5,000-word food review that is enough to be independent and different, and the taste nerve is also a part of the nervous system, so it can also be included in the field of thinking.”

Populists claim that they are the most down-to-earth and know the people best, and they claim to oppose all intellectuals in the ivory tower. However, populists are only one member of this big miscellaneous buffet dinner party, and they are one of the locomotives dragging boxes of sheep. They are committed to researching the latest stimulants in the flock, using statistical methods to calculate which model the flock wants to live in the dream of.

To a certain extent, populists, like Disneyland, provide people with a rich spiritual life in ordinary daily life. Some people think that teenagers addicted to games and become addicted to electronic drugs are the scourge of civilization, but the same group of people may live in daily life. Their peculiar old age politics in the second dream of traditional Chinese medicine is not tired, and they feel full and satisfied.

There is also a reason for the Tsar to be so skilled in "being kind and not in charge of soldiers", because from the Tsar's point of view, the gap between humans and so-called humans is larger than the gap between humans and cats . The Masons control the earth, and they will make up all the details in their dreams, and they will believe it, and then the skeptics say that you are all brains . The last sentence is not fiction and exaggeration, but what really happened.

The tsar was of course patriotic, but the royal patriotism was slightly different from that of the commoners.

Various factors are intertwined on the Ukrainian battlefield, and self-proclaimed patriots are suppressed because they are super patriotic.

The army that needs to practice patriotism on the battlefield is short of soldiers, food, training and equipment, because after the Silovik military special interest group with the president as the core subdues the whole country, the only visible and powerful political challenger is the army, and the responsibility of the Russian army lies in the fierceness. The image is a tough guy PR, but the Russian army must not be really strong enough to overthrow the upper-class aristocracy in Silovik, especially the generals who have made military exploits.

In fact, the Russians do not respect the soldiers. The superiors in the army forced the subordinates to go into prostitution[10]. The superiors tricked the subordinates into signing contracts. Even if food supplements are not enough, they will loot Ukrainian houses [11].

Of course, there are also classes between commoners and commoners. The citizens of the two big cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg are special. The lives of the citizens of these two major cities in Russia were least affected by the war. After fighting for so long, they still dance and dance. There are many people who support the Z movement the same. The difference is that it is not their sons and daughters who are sent to the battlefield, because it is obvious that the rural people are better at cheating, and the rural people do not have the ability to make troubles and claim compensation.

In some economically underdeveloped areas of Russia, some young people feel that Ukraine is a good place to stand out just because of the military pay, and they can divide their houses by biting their teeth.[12]

Parents in some impoverished areas don't really care about the life and death of their children. After their son died, they received a large pension. They really felt that this son was not born at fault. It is much better than having old barbecued pork; it is a profitable business for a son to change his family's well-off. , in this scenario, the anecdote of parents reporting their sons for evading military service also happens (see the picture below).

The picture below shows the poverty-stricken areas of Russia.

The Russians are not friendly and united. In their daily life, they even harm their own people. They deceive new recruits into the battlefield and send them to death. Before the burial, they sing that Christ has a place for you in heaven. This is a heroic sacrifice for the country.

Even if they were persecuted by the upper classes, the Russians in the lower classes were proud of being a member of the great empire. When they talked about their motherland, they started to recall the ice age, and they sang and sang the melody of the unbreakable alliance of the past Russian culture has a long history.

People are "connected with empathy" by populist methods, but they are deeply tabooed by the tsar, for fear that these ignorant people will gather together and become an uncontrollable risk. So the tsar deliberately disintegrates their organizational power, guides them to suspect each other, and builds a A deformed pyramid, in which it is stipulated that only certain people can be the most patriotic, and true patriotism requires royal certification.

Even so, they feared and supported their monarch, in whom they seemed to see everything they had longed for in life.
