The Russian Soul

Dostoevsky in Crime and Punishment, and again in Brothers Karamazov, the underline though are currents, one is nihilistic, destruction (in the case of Crime and Punishment, poverty which the peasants come under the yoke of slavery by Russian Orthodox Church and the Nobility reflected by the Russian Czar) and the submission to despotic authority of the Czar (Dostoevsky, had our sinner on the knees asking forgiven to the Czar, not even to a God). When Sweden lost territory the one was the Lithuanian-Polish commonwealth (especially under the Lithuanian Dutch), which ideal was a federation multi-ethnic groups, since they have Ukrainians, Polish, Jews as member. Catherina the Great, the German princess brought an epistemology (a rationalization) for a despotic authoritarian government, the Russ especially Moscow, have been predispose through the submission of the Russian Orthodox Church, where follow St Augustine dictum, order and submission. The population under of the yoke of Russian Orthodox Church had population ready for the autocratic mentality so preserve in the German Speaking areas.

When the Russian revolution a social contract was made with Communist Party a standard of leaving with the condition under control of new Czar, despotic regime which lasted 75 years, today China social and political system. The consequence in self-sufficient created an economic stagnation, where China today though the state own factories provided the security, but China economy in their need a continuous growth to maintain a pollution, are over producing more there is a need, if factory closed social unrest will occur.

Russia, since Catherina introduce the idea Russia, limited the Jews movements and forcing central Europe, Polish, Lithuanians, Latvians and Lithuanians to a nationalism of ethnicity, adopted by the Austro-Hungarian, and Hitler is the product of this ethnic identity to his final conclusion.

Today we have Ukraine asking for a separation of the idea of Russia, and Russia using his only value oil and gas to submitted Europe to their desired. While Russia does not have self-sufficient or idea for identity, provided by Czar or the Communist Party, where the Russian Oligarchs are the New Nobility, the only can offer an stagnation, which they have suffer under the Czar and Communist Party. Today Russia used the same Orthodox Russian Church, which is a very corrupt and reverse to his rule of instrument of power. What Russia does not have today is exchange of ideas, where not just a society can growth, but also prosper. Where the only time Ukraine was actually Free under black flag of Nestor Makhno which wanted a federation of autonomous Villages and   communes, where there is not stagnation of a despotic system or the wealth concentration in the few, found today in the west. Where in the case of both the rules advantages to the elite, but for Russia is about Russificationt or cultural assimilation of non-Russians, whether is voluntary or not, the anti-thesis of the Lithuanian commonwealth.
