STATE AND REVOLUTION 2.0

STATE AND REVOLUTION 2.0

It is time to get to work, the “time of reaction” should not be spent in vain because this is the very epoch that could and should establish a constitutional soft for the future builders of the Russian state

Russian public thought has lost its way in broad daylight among The State, The Revolution and The Constitution. The liberals desire to have a constitutional state, but they are afraid of revolution, justly believing that they will be the first who will be wiped off the face of the earth. The conservatives want to prevent a revolution at any cost, but they have to sacrifice the constitution for the sake of consolidation of a repressive police state what will lead the country to a revolution sooner or later. Hopeless (desperate) radicals from both parts suggest burning the hateful country (left-wing) and the harmful constitution (right-wing) in the fire of revolution not to beat the brains anymore. Being unable to solve this problem, our civil society has fallen into a stupor and it is watching in horror the country plunge into chaos.

However it is possible to get out of this magic political forest only if it will be admitted that the aim of revolution is formation of a new state rather than destruction of the old one. The revolution is not only a destroying might, but also an enormous creating power.

EDITORIAL. BORIS BEREZOVSKY: TRAP OF PERPETUAL STALEMATE

EDITORIAL. BORIS BEREZOVSKY: TRAP OF PERPETUAL STALEMATE

Demiurge of Russian politics, “demon on a contract” and political father of Vladimir Putin has gasped his life.

In the epilogue to Russian edition of his book “The Oligarchs: Wealth and Power in the New Russia” a famous American journalist David Hoffman writes that Putin preferred to tighten the screws slowly in relation to the oligarchs. The upshot was that Vladimir Gusinsky and Boris Berezovsky were forced to leave the country, Mikhail Khodorkovsky was jailed, and the rest were made it clear: either they cooperate with the Kremlin or they will be crushed. On the 18th of July, 2001 after spending more than a year in office Putin held a press conference. One of the journalists asked him about Berezovsky. He sighed: "Berezovsky - who is this?

Let us agree with Vladimir Putin: the question “Who is Mr. Berezovsky?” rests relevant even after the demon of Russian politics has lost his influence...

CORPORATION “RUSSIA” AGAINST PEOPLE OF RUSSIA

CORPORATION “RUSSIA” AGAINST PEOPLE OF RUSSIA

The scandal over “Moskovskij Komsomolets (MK)” and “political prostitutes” continues. The deputies of the factions “United Russia” and “Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR)” made an appeal to Ministry of Internal Affairs, Prosecutor General's Office and Federal Tax Service with the initiative to verify the financial and economic activity of the newspaper. The video where the money for an ordered publication was handed over to “MK” was posted on the Internet. And that was all in reply to the publication about lady deputies who had changed their political “gender” according to the conjuncture of the nomenclatural market.

In some way we all are the journalists of “MK”. As it is known not to ask for whom the bell tolls – every time it tolls for you.

Putin Without Oil

The traditional Prime Minister’s farewell speech delivered to the state Duma by Vladimir Putin was for the most part, boring with one major exception. He listed various programs, projects and promises, but never once indicated that they are only feasible if oil prices continue to rise year on year. The problem is that Russia’s economic dependence on the oil trade is not just important, it is critical
