Today the Russians are once again at an impasse...but this time the struggle challenges the designs of a new centralized doctrine.
Does Vladimir Putin represent the hope of the Russian people, and others throughout the world, to cast off attempts of those who hold ideals of world domination?
Will Putin be successful at leading the peoples of the world against such authoritarian idealism's?
If so, if he is successful at deterring the ultimate goal of enslaving not only the Russian people but also the destruction of nation states and her cultures...what kind of leadership will evolve?
Will the post Putin leadership lead to another seventy years of domination and tyrannical rule?
The Russian Sailors in early decades of the twentieth century were also seen as the hope of the Russian peoples...
The Russian sailors decades long historical battle against the Tsar's government and her most ardent supporters demonstrated the will to live... to fight for certain inalienable rights. Casting off the exploitative practices of the Romanov henchmen and demanding through strength the god given right of dignity.
It was a huge struggle...the tragedy that ensued saw death and destruction throughout the Russian homeland. The floors of the Baltic and Black Seas are literally littered with the bodies of the sailors who took up arms for the cause.
In the latter part of the nineteenth century Tsar Alexander II set the table for discontent among the masses having assigned his former tutor, the reactionary Konstantin Pobedonostsev, to be the procurator of the Holy Synod of the Orthodox Church and Ivan Delyanov to be the minister of education. In their attempts to "save" Russia from "modernism," they revived religious censorship, persecuted non-Orthodox and non-Russian populations, fostered anti-Semitism, and suppressed the autonomy of the universities.
In other words...the Russian peasants should remain behind the "plough" and be satisfied within the plight of supporting the upper classes which as such was their view of the peasants destiny. Unfortunately for Pobedonostsev and others the peasants would not yield to the doctrine of no representation and no possibility for a better life. To discard the peasant child from rising above his/her lowly existence sets the stage for confrontation and the long and bitter road toward a new dawn.
Currently, Putin is tasked, much like the sailors, to be victorious...to set aside those who wished to enslave and dominate over individuals...this time though...whose plan is the destruction of cultures and sovereignty.
Accurate or not Putin does not care to reinvigorate the anniversary of Great October...Putin prefers to hold close the victory over Nazism during World War II as the pretext for national pride.
In no way should the victory over Nazism be forgotten...but the will of the Russian people should not be ignored either!
Great October was the culmination of the sailors great will toward liberation....few Russian individuals will forget the sailors movement...a movement dedicated to the cause of freedom dedicated to all her citizens.
The future remains unknown...the revolutionary character of the sailor in terms of popular support and of historical significance cannot be discarded simply because the elite intellectuals (see Bolsheviki) failed to
follow through. With programs dedicated to the pursuit of a peace policy, reformation of agrarian policy and the regulation toward economic prosperity of those who were willing to die for cause: whose interest lie with the masses of the people.
Today, Putins' challenge is ten fold...hegemony rule on steroids...the machines of war are immense and the bold declaration by some who believe that nuclear fallout is a winnable strategy is frightening.
So...to the people of Russia...celebrate in the matrix that is the Russian character...have courage that the sailors who fought for a new beginning had done so for liberty, land and freedom. Certainly not for the likes of the Bolshevik leadership to embark on a seventy year run of authoritarianism. Recognize in your hearts the task to curtail those who seek world domination will be a long and arduous conviction.
Yet as history has proven, as was the case of the Russian sailors, victory is not only attainable but within the grasp of those who are devoted to such a cause....
To Vladimir Putin...please do not discard men such as Pavel Dybenko and the revolutionary sailors simply because Lenin hoodwinked and otherwise perpetuated grand fraud against those seeking justice.
Lastly, always recognize the good within the character that is Russian...in all its facets, not only the character of the brave who took on Nazism but also those who took on a corrupt and ill prepared Tsar's government that refused to hear the grievances of its many subjects.
All pray for peace
