Quite often I read posts about the fact that the plight of the majority of Russian citizens depends on Putin and his friends who seized power. The recipe for improving life is the removal of an organized criminal group.
In one radiant moment all the people will come out, throw off the zazhravshuyusya power and come the kingdom of truth, good and justice. But for some reason, I immediately recall the cry of Pontius Pilate: "It will never come! Criminal! Criminal! The criminal! "
Rurikovichi
The fact is that people are not ruled by their whims, but by the situations in which they are cast by fate. A man is weak and stupid by nature, and from this he usually lives in fear, anger and hatred.
This determines his decisions, which he is forced to take time after time. Ivan 4 destroyed all written sources, according to which it was possible to trace the events of the past days. There remained a miserable propaganda lie, spread over a multitude of later sources.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to find out how people made decisions before Rurikovich. However, the theory of systems makes it easy to predict the internal mechanisms of social life.
The fact is that much changes in the life of society over time, there are constant changes. But there are internal, hidden from the eyes of the strategy of people's behavior, which, like a bad repetitive nightmare, are reproduced time after time. Changing historical epochs, people, external objects, but the architecture of systems acts in the same way.
This leaves an imprint, I would say one continuous thorn in a lot of eyes, through which the regular repetition of the same human actions creeps into my eyes. Ivan 4 received a rather rich kingdom. His grandfather greatly expanded the boundaries of the Russian lands and was rightfully called Ivan the Terrible, but fate is full of irony and the prefix "terrible" went to his grandson Ivan 4 - a tormentor, a maniacal murderer.
His father was of a calm nature and the Moscow Kingdom blossomed in more or less peaceful years of his reign. But the thirst for omnipotence, the fear of others, pushed Ivan 4 to terror and the destruction of the kingdom.
The mechanism is pretty simple. Despot lives in an animal fear and destroys all more capable of strong actions of people. First of all, Ivan 4 arranged oprichnina to kill the boyars. They owned gratuitous lands, collected land rents and these funds contained fighting squads, which were obliged to enter the troops under the command of the Grand Duke.
At first glance, the most profitable strategy is the maximum economic and political freedom of the boyars to enhance military power. But being still a child, Ivan 4 got a good lesson. The main thing is that it is absolute power, on the territory of the scorched Horde steppe it is uncontrolled power that is the success, it allows access to all resources.
Any weakening of the central government or the intensification of the boyars threatens the throne and must be stopped. When Vanya was 10 years old, he and his younger brother were locked in wards and kept on bread and water.
His younger brother was insane and because of this, children received a beastly treatment.
Once Shuisky sat on a chair near Vanya and put his dirty boots on his bed and said: "Yes, not for long, Vanya, you have left."
Under what conditions could such a relationship arise? What is the main thing about them? What determines the system of relationships between people and the choice of strategies?
The scorched Horde steppe is a territory of insane violence and mistrust between people. Here this trigger leads to a special self-organization of public life, and it turns on constantly, exerting its influence at all times.
At the same time, I want to note that the stories about the fact that he was introduced from the outside, or bad Varangians, or bad Mongol-Tatars are not convincing. Trigger in the social space can only become what is your essence, covering your entire space of understanding.
It is impossible to bring a trigger from the outside and to plant it. That's why Ivan 4 took the only right decision to preserve his power - began terror against the boyars. Zemshchina and oprichnina simply bleached the Moscow Kingdom.
When a lull sets in on the territory of the scorched Horde steppe, the gardens immediately begin to bloom and the population becomes richer. But this process raises suspicion in power because vertical ties are weakening, people's dependence on power is thinned.
The only correct solution is terror and violence. Everything begins with various restrictions and freedoms. An attack on the interests of people pushes them to discontent, which causes the reaction of the authorities in the form of an even greater suppression of freedoms.
This is how the vicious circle of violence intensifies. The turning point is the riots "senseless and merciless" and as a reaction to terror and repression by the authorities. The result is economic desolation and devastation, undermining military power. The reign of Ivan 4 and his terror led to a vague time, for a while the throne was captured by the Poles. But they managed to drive away and the Romanovs reigned.
Romanovs
Alexander Pushkin called the Romanovs revolutionaries. And this is absolutely true! They all rushed, trying to overcome the main trigger of the self-organization of Russian life. What is the only attempt of Peter 1 to impose a European life, culture on Russian soil!
But the only way he knew was not the freedom of people, but insane violence, which always leads to slavery. So he finally made serfdom, and even in industrial production. Other Romanovs rushed to the other side. Catherine II tried to give freedom to people.
On landowners and urban estates, it worked, but it did not dare to free the peasants, fearing the threat of their own power. Well, what power in Russia without insane violence? And how will you carry it out without serfdom? Gerasim a drowning dog is an eternal symbol of real Russian life.
While there is a general flogging, all are subject to violence, as flogging leads people to despair, well, then there is a change, the former masters start flogging. The trigger works flawlessly.
Nicholas 2 lived in the clouds surrounded by people who told him exactly what he wanted. Those who destroyed his faith in a kind and loving people - Witte, Stolypin somehow retired. Nobles, and even the king lived well, received income from their lands and spent most of their time abroad swimming in luxury.
Well, just like people now close to Putin! All this joy was at the expense of people. Any attempts to overcome poverty ran into social partitions. If you are not someone's son / daughter and your father / mother does not take positions, then you can not see your success on the scorched Horde steppe.
Social partitions were also kept with the help of the main trigger of Russian life - violence.
While most of the people were disunited with the help of the army, it was possible to repair the massacre here and there, as soon as the guard fell on the fronts, and the oppressed were driven into barracks, the Romanovs' authorities were organized and armed with an end.
Three centuries of attempts to overcome the main trigger of Russian life have not been successful.
Bolsheviks
With the Bolsheviks there were no attempts to overcome the main Russian trigger, on the contrary, violence surfaced and the time of the Bolsheviks can be used as a vivid example of the mechanism of self-organization of primitive communities.
All over the territory of Soviet Russia, vertically connected groups have grown up completely dependent from the bottom up to the top by means of rations. Non-inclusion in one of the hierarchical structures meant starvation. Quite quickly, all the people not included in the system were either destroyed, or fled abroad or died during the Holodomor.
The most interesting was the inner-party struggle for power. It vividly highlights the psychology of conflict-authoritarian groups, where power is the basis that opens access to resources through control over property. As a matter of fact, the Bolsheviks lived again due to land rent before the discovery of gas and oil deposits in Western Siberia.
The only effective method of extracting land rent is insane violence. GULAG is its highest and complete form. The Bolsheviks managed to bring the main trigger of Russian life to its logical conclusion, making the entire population dependent slaves.
The Communists themselves received special distributors with more delicious and fatty rations. The trouble is that it was rather difficult to eat the joys of the consumer society, and to live like nobles abroad, picking up their own people is very troublesome.
To overcome all these difficulties, they arranged a restructuring.
Bandits
I remember how much joy there was in the West, except for a narrow circle of Sovietologists who knew the main trigger of the self-organization of Russian society. In the midst of the violence, the bloodiest, most immoral group had to grow up and seize power in Russia.
Many primitive communities fought for assets and power in Russia, creating beneficial circles. Making money on criminal activities, they invested in political capital to purchase posts in public authorities. Using posts, the bandits immediately begin to impose restrictions on private initiative, there are more than 3600 of them in Russia.
People are told that all these idiotic restrictions come from the state and government. Well, what to take from them? They are fools, and you, the people, are very clever. Laugh at the fools from above, it will help you forget poverty and lack of rights.
The bandits who seized power are not just fools. They impose restrictions on the creation of a monopoly position for the extraction of rents. Every restriction on private initiative generates super profits, they go into the pockets of new nobles, who again pump out resources from the population of Russia, its subsoil and live abroad, visiting slaves from time to time for enrichment.
Well, where is Vovka, if your main trigger always produces self-organization through violence, and it generates only primitive communities. Conflict-authoritarian groups can only reproduce a distributive economy with a polarization between the rich and the poor. And they create class partitions, eliminate social elevators and entire generations of people are not necessary.
It is clear that people are not happy with this state of affairs and are rebelling. Then the bandits begin to breed the siloviki, press opposition activists. A vicious cycle of social tension is starting: every increase in the violence of the authorities gives rise to even greater resistance - the trigger begins to work hard at all points in the political space and leads to a riot.
What's next? They changed Vovka to Leshka. And the trigger works further and now other bandits are launching a beneficial circle of political space capture. The architecture of systems with a trigger in the form of insane violence works flawlessly.
Times change, other people come, but the story of insane violence repeats itself in a nightmare with enviable regularity, passing through mutilated human lives ...
