Uprise of Russia and the New World

A new world is being born before our eyes. Russia’s military operation in Ukraine has opened a new three-dimensional era. And of course, the fourth one, the inter-Russian. Here begins a new period both in ideology and in the very model of our socio-economic system – but we should talk about it separately later on.

Russia is restoring its unity – the tragedy of 1991, the terrible catastrophe of our history, its unnatural dislocation, are now overcome. At a greater price and through the tragic events of the civil war because brothers are still shooting at each other, divided by representation to the Russian or Ukrainian Armies. But there will no longer be Ukraine as anti-Russia.

Russia is restoring its historical completeness by bringing the Russian world, Russian people together – in all its totality of Russians, Belarussian, and Ukrainians. If we had abandoned this, we would have allowed the temporary division to take hold for centuries. We would not have only betrayed the memory of our ancestors but would also have been cursed by our descendants for allowing the disintegration of the Russian land.

Russia is restoring its historical completeness by bringing the Russian world, Russian people together – in all its totality of Russians, Belarussian, and Ukrainians.

Without a drop of exaggeration, Vladimir Putin has taken a historical responsibility to not leave the solution of the Ukrainian matter to future generations. After all, the need to solve it would always remain the main problem for Russia for two key reasons. The issue of national security, which is the creation of Ukraine as anti-Russia and an outpost to pressure the West on us is only the second most important reason.

The first reason always was and always will be the issue of a divided nation, the case of national humiliation – when Russia first lost its foundation (Kyiv) and then had to accept the existence of two countries with two different nations. That is, to either abandon your history, agreeing with the crazy versions that “only Ukraine is the Real Rus” or to gnash your teeth powerlessly, remembering the times when “we lost Ukraine.” Getting Ukraine back, which means turning it back to Russia, would get harder over time – recoding, de-russification of Russians and turning against Russian Ukrainians. In case of the establishment of a full geopolitical and military control of the West over Ukraine, its return to Russia would become downright impossible. We would have to fight with the Atlantic Bloc for it.

Now there is no such problem – Ukraine has returned to Russia. This doesn’t mean that its statehood will be liquidated but it will be rebuilt, re-established and returned to its natural state of part of the Russian world. In what borders and in what form will the union with Russia be consolidated – through CSTO (The Collective Security treaty organization) and EU or the union of Russia and Belarus? This will be decided after the end is put in the history of Ukraine as anti-Russia. In any case, the period of the spilt of Russian nation is coming to an end.

Now there is no such problem – Ukraine has returned to Russia. This doesn’t mean that its statehood will be liquidated but it will be rebuilt, re-established and returned to its natural state of part of the Russian world.

And here begins the second dimension of the coming era – it concerns the relations between Russia and the West. Not even Russia, but the Russian world – Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine, acting in geopolitical terms as a single actor. These relations have entered a new stage – the West sees Russia returning its historical borders in Europe. EU loudly resents the idea, although deep down has to admit that it could not have been any other way.

Did anyone in the old European capitals, in Paris and Berlin, seriously believe that Moscow would give up Kyiv? That the Russian people will always be divided into two nations? At the same time when Europe is uniting, when the German and French elites are trying to seize control of European integration from the Anglo-Saxons and assemble a united Europe? Forgetting that the unification of Europe has become possible thanks only to the unification of Germany, which happened by Russian goodwill (albeit not a very smart one).

Attempting to take control over the Russian lands is not even the height of ingratitude but also a geographical stupidity. The West as a whole and even more so Europe individually didn’t stand a chance to keep Ukraine under its influence to say the least fully take control over Ukraine. To not understand this, you have to be a complete geopolitical fool.

More precisely, there was only one option – to bet on the further collapse of the Russian Federation. But the fact that it didn’t work should have become clear twenty years ago. And fifteen years ago, after Putin’s speech in Munich, even a deaf person could hear that Russia was coming back.

Now the West is trying to punish Russia for its return, for not justifying its hope to profit at its expense, and not allowing the Western space to expand to the East. In effort to punish us, the West thinks that the relations with them are of vital importance to us but this has not been the case for a long time already. The world has changed, and this is well understood not only by Europeans but also by the Anglo-Saxons who rule the West. No Western pressure on Russia will lead to anything. Losses from the escalation of confrontation will be on both sides, but Russia is ready for them morally and geopolitically. But for the West itself, the increase in confrontation carries huge costs and the main ones are not economic.

Europe, as part of the West, wanted autonomy – the German project of European integration does not make any strategic sense, while Anglo-Saxon has ideological, military, and geopolitical control over the Old World. And it cannot be successful because the Anglo-Saxons need controlled Europe. But Europe needs autonomy for another reason – in case the United States moves to self-isolation (as a result of increasing internal conflicts and contradictions) or focuses on the Pacific region, where the geopolitical center of gravity is moving.

However, confrontation with Russia, into which the Anglo-Saxons are dragging Europe, deprives Europeans of having a chance of independence, not to mention the fact that they are trying to impose a fallout of China and Europe in the same way. If Atlantists are now happy that the “Russian threat” will unite the Western Bloc, then Berlin and Paris cannot misunderstand the fact that lost hope for autonomy will simply collapse the European project 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 trap for Europe, whose century (more precisely, half a millennium) of global leadership is over anyway but various options for its future can still unfold.

Because the construction of a new world over, which is our third dimension of the current events, is accelerating and its contours are becoming clearer through the spreading veil of Anglo-Saxon globalization. The multipolar world has finally become a reality. The operation in Ukraine is not able to turn anybody against Russian expect for the West because the rest of the world sees and understands perfectly well that this is a conflict between Russia and the West; the response to the geopolitical expansion of the Atlantists and Russia’s return of its historical presence and its place in the world.

China and India, Latin America and Africa, the Islamic Worlds and Southeast Asia don’t believe that the West leads the world order and even more so establishes the rules of the game. Russia has not just 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 forces, naturally together with the West (united or not) but not on its terms and not according to its rules.
