I don’t think there’s a rise in far-right sentiment in Russia. On the contrary, there’s a concerted anti-communist campaign to curb the growing sympathy for the USSR, the heart of our historical memory.

Russia today is experiencing a critical moment, and the future of everyone depends heavily on events within and around it. As in tragic times past, interest in history is once again reawakening, along with a need to redefine one’s place in this world turbulent with change.

In recent weeks and months, attacks by the Russian far right on Soviet history, everything connected with it, and, by extension, on the very idea of ​​socialism have intensified. Moreover, their tone is increasingly boorish and provocative, categorically refusing any rational civil dialogue. In terms of form and level of argumentation, it’s entirely in the style of Novodvorskaya or certain Ukrainian “radical” organizations banned in Russia. Not to mention that only Nazis are capable of speaking in such a tone about “commies” and “non-Russian nationalities.”

Under the influence of recent events, tragic for all normal people, nostalgia for the USSR, genuine Soviet values, and social justice, which even the most “socially oriented” or “properly organized” capitalism cannot provide, is noticeably growing in Russia. In general, people throughout the post-Soviet space, by virtue of their memory, culture, and patterns of everyday human relations, regardless of the superficial political ideas imposed by the press, remain largely Soviet.

Today, the greatest fear of some in power and the corrupt officials they nurtured is precisely this Soviet essence of their own people. The surge in semi-official and “expert” anti-Soviet sentiment is the result of this fear on the part of those who still fail to understand that their villas and unearned savings in London and Nice are forever lost, and that there will be no return to the swinish bourgeois brotherhood so dear to their small aristocratic hearts. That’s why they so readily invest in all sorts of pseudo-literary and pseudo-historical filth today.

Meanwhile, the real Russia continues to unfurl our Soviet banners, traditionally carrying the bodies and souls of heroes ever further west.

Any calls for interethnic and interfaith hatred, which have become an obligatory part of the paid repertoire of all hired and corrupt pseudo-patriotic hysterics, must be suppressed according to the logic of wartime. They are a kind of enemy saboteur, since they bring Russia precisely what it is forced to fight against today. Their obvious stupidity is not a mitigating circumstance, but an aggravating one.

The SVO is not a showdown between nations and religions, as our enemies always dreamed. This is a war to save our memory, spirituality, and hope, which are biologically incompatible with fascism. And Russia has been and will remain a bulwark of the brotherhood of all humanity.

Warning: The comments are wild! There is an active fight between Russian libs and Russian communists in there. Example:

• I don’t remember anyone buying food or taking out a loan to send a child to school during Soviet times. There was neither unemployment nor utility debts in the Soviet era, and no one was deprived of their sources of income to compensate for a bank debt. The mood was improving, now it is declining, probably because the population lives much wealthier? On the contrary, I hear from young people, “How can we support a child?” The country developed relatively evenly, now Moscow and St. Petersburg are developing, while in other cities, if you don’t look at the embankments, there is neglect and desolation. What kind of well-being are you talking about compared to the USSR?

• The fact that many people still remember the USSR means that the idea of that society is closer to them than the current one. They have something to compare it with. We must choose a future based on some foundation. Either capitalism or socialism. Capitalism is already done, it has outlived itself, it was progressive in the 19th-20th centuries, but not in the 21st century. Building a future state based on an outdated model is a path to defeat and decline. But if you look at China…

• no complaints or hard feelings. Everything you write about the Soviet government in the form of complaints only shows that you are not familiar with the works of Lenin and Stalin, so it is difficult for you, as for many others, to understand the true reason for the collapse and downfall of the USSR. In fact, the people themselves are to blame, who became complacent from a fairly comfortable life. What did Lenin and Stalin write about? That the people should not lose vigilance! That they should study military art and the principles of political economy, with the slogan to study, study, and study. Take the seventies and eighties—did people really study the works of Lenin and Stalin in the original? Only a few, despite the huge print runs. If the people had studied them, neither Gorbachev nor Yeltsin would have come to power, and consequently, history and reality would have been different, and most likely, recalling the kulak background of one’s ancestors would not be fashionable, just as recalling the repressed, among whom there were quite a few real enemies. And as for repression and punitive psychiatry, they still exist and are working at full capacity; the methods may be somewhat different, but it is all the same.
