That is, the results are simply, or as usual, drawn. In fact, Russians do not know their own classics, of which they are so proud. When asking citizens questions about the Second World War, it is difficult to find among them even approximately those who know the main factors of its history. They find it difficult to learn the geography of their native country, the history of Russia and the USSR, and even the name of the leader, whose cult is now being so rapidly imposed by the Putin regime. It is almost impossible to get answers to any questions about history, about outstanding persons of world significance, about the events taking place today...
How are Russians degrading and why is it beneficial for the regime to raise new generations of empty-headed citizens?
Managing a stupid and intimidated population is easy and convenient for those in power. Actually, this factor is the main reason for the dumbing down of the population in the country. The leader of Russia himself, to put it mildly, is poorly educated. Although official sources proclaim him a Genius, super educated in all possible and even non-existent spheres, they consider him an incredibly sexy old man (almost every second woman wants to become his wife, regardless of age). According to the technology of the authorities' actions, one can define a forced assessment of the education of the country's population by the formula:
- The President is smart and educated, the population does not live up to their idol. That's right, because from every iron every now and then comes: "only HE, only Putin, HE is a genius, HE is God..." and other similar crap.
In 2000, following Putin's seizure of power, the Kremlin declared war on civilization and its values. The new government, during its twenty-five years of unchangeable rule, has been fighting against reason, logic, and everything bright that real education and culture provide, while encouraging stupidity, lack of education, illiteracy, and a willingness to destroy everything on command from above. In this country, only the stupid can fit into power.
The Kremlin's war propaganda has never really changed since the reign of the Romanovs, who laid the foundation for Russia's existence in 1721. The successor to the Golden Horde, Russia, for many years put a good face on a bad game, pretending to be a European civilization. This fact regularly misled the powers that be, which removed responsibility for Russia's crimes in its history from the beginning of its creation. There is no point in listing the crimes of the Russian state - this is a separate topic for an encyclopedic volume. The fact is that Russia has never been responsible for appropriating the histories of other peoples and states, for appropriating scientific discoveries, for countless wars to colonize foreign lands (all of today's Russian territories are colonies, excluding only the Tsardom of Moscow, which became Russia by decree of Peter the Great), for all of its betrayals of its own people. Russia ineptly, but persistently, camouflages its failures, defeats and tragedies as achievements of a universal scale, glorifies lost wars (a striking example is the war of 1812), and imposes all this nonsense on the world community. It has never taken responsibility for the downed civilian aircraft, of which there were many, for the murders of its own population during the explosion of apartment buildings by the FSB in 1999 on Putin's orders... Over the past thirty years, Russia has unleashed a lot of wars, both on its own territory and on the territories of sovereign states (two Chechen wars, the war in Georgia, a lot of national conflicts in the countries of the Asian region, former Soviet republics). The war in Ukraine, started at Putin's whim, is being passed off by ghouls under the guise of Russian state interests, which are not there. This is the SICK interest of one "cigarette butt", who by the will of fate and a number of business adventurers got into power, who is ready to destroy everything living, standing in his way to the fulfillment of his personal sick illusions, supported at the first stage of the disease by the Kremlin community, and now almost the entire population of Russia, a leper of the disease of the ghoul Putin. The percentage of those who resist and understand that the “Kremlin patient” is incurably ill, that only his removal from power and his accomplices, followed by their subsequent detention in mental hospitals, can end the process of degradation of all territories under the yoke of Russia, is immeasurably small in comparison with the number of lepers in Russia and beyond its borders.
Russia, in fact, does not bear in its face any mystery of the “Russian soul”. It is simple, like a ten-kopeck coin, oxidized and lying on the ground, unnoticed by passers-by not because they do not see it, but because no one needs it. Russia is ending its senseless existence in the garbage dump, to which the Kremlinites have long since led it, in which it has long been floundering and drowning in a sick ecstasy of illusions of greatness and pride, naively believing that it is a great superpower, which it has never been. Illusions, illusions, illusions ... Hallucinations, hallucinations, hallucinations ... It is painful for Russia to part with them!
I will add! Maybe someone thinks that Trump and his amateurs will save Russia? ... God be with you! Trump began to destroy the United States and succeeded. But Donald is unlikely to sit on the throne until the end of his term. America, fortunately, is not Russia! So here too there are illusions and hallucinations!
