Whenever empires crash, the question arises as to what can be saved from them. Thus, after the Second World War, all Western European colonial empires crashed. For example, the French Empire crashed, notably in Indo-China, which led among other things to the US invasion of Vietnam and to the no less tragic Franco-Algerian War, but also left a mass of African ‘independent’ dependencies and leaders, to be toppled by the French military and assassinated by French spies. At the same time, the bankrupted British Empire crashed, leaving Israel in charge of Palestine, the bloody tragedy of Indian Partition, the ‘Commonwealth’ and more significantly the White Commonwealth, now called the Anglosphere, but under US control. This is what The Saker rightly calls ‘The Anglo-Zionist Empire’.
In 1991, the Soviet Empire crashed, leaving chaos in Eurasia, which the Western-inspired sticking plaster of the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) did nothing to remedy. Unlike Western European colonial empires, the vacuum left by the USSR covered one contiguous landmass. Moreover, the space vacated had history, going back hundreds of years to the Russian Empire, fallen in the British-organised palace coup of 1917. As nature abhors a vacuum, it was clear that such a vacuum and its chaos could not prevail for long. After the alcohol-hazed and gangster-crazed years of the Harvard-puppeteered Yeltsin and the ensuing genocide and suicide of millions in the old Soviet Union, in the 2000s, sense, order and hope slowly began to re-emerge.
It arrived in the quite ancient concept of ‘The Russian World’ (‘Russky Mir’), which was first officially used in its modern sense in 2007, when President Putin decreed the establishment of the government-sponsored ‘Russky Mir Foundation’. From here on, this term became more and more common and is notably widely used by the multinational Russian Orthodox Church. However, what does this term actually mean?
For some, the term ‘The Russian World’ means wherever Russians live. If it means only that, then this is a purely nationalistic project. It would mean that the remaining elitist oligarchs inside Russia, the Euro-Atlanticists, who as fifth columnists co-operate with CIA agents inside and outside Russia, belong to ‘The Russian World’. It would mean that the corrupt and treacherous aristocrats/oligarchs who after 1917 moved mainly to Paris and since 1991 have moved mainly to London, Tel Aviv and New York, also belong to ‘The Russian World’. Do they?
For some, the term ‘The Russian World’ means the Russian-speaking world. If it means only that, then this is a purely linguistic project. And yet there are many all over the world, from China to Venezuela, from New Zealand to Scotland, who strongly identify with Russia and her aims, but who do not speak any Russian. Are they then excluded?
For some, the term ‘The Russian World’ means wherever Orthodox Christians live. If it means only that, then this is a purely denominational project. Given some 500 fringe intellectuals and pseudo-intellectuals, who formally belong to the Orthodox Church and who compiled a Declaration on the ‘Russian World’ Teaching on 13 March 2022, calling it an “ideology”, “a heresy” and “a form of religious fundamentalism” that is “totalitarian in character.” So do they belong to ‘The Russian World’?
For us, ‘The Russian World’ means something else, far broader. It means wherever live those who are opposed to the exploitative and manipulative Western/Anglo-Zionist/Nazi/NATO/Globalist/Capitalist ideology and project. Although we mainly live in Russia, China, India, Africa, Latin America, the Muslim World, Indonesia and Kazakhstan, we exist all over the world, even within the conquered heartlands of the Evil Empire, in the USA, Canada, the UK, Israel, the EU, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. We are those who resist the carefully-orchestrated campaign of slander of the elite, which arrogantly calls itself ‘the international community’. For those who live in the virtual world and who fly the made-up Lower Austrian flag of the made-up Ukraine, of whose history and geography they know nothing, the lies of that elite seem real. For us who live in the real world, the Russian world, they are both absurd and evil.
Since 24 February 2022, when the peoples of the Russian Federation, Belarus and the Donbass were forced to defend themselves from NATO aggression, we have known that the world will never be the same again. The ‘victory’ of the Western world over Western Communism in 1991 has turned out to be a defeat, a self-imposed one. For in its ‘end of history’ hubris the Western world excluded reality. If I can draw a Tolkienesque parallel, we, the true international, that is multipolar, community of the peoples of the Shire, are quite happy together. And therefore we reject the attempts of Unipolar Mordor, with its insatiable need for our capital, labour and resources, to destroy us.
From the Orthodox world perspective in Europe, there have been unfortunate comments coming from Patriarchate Bartholomew of Istanbul condemning the actions of Russia. Where was Bartholomew comments when the Russian Orthodox were being attacked in the Don Bass? Where was he when the Orthodox Community in Aleppo was wiped out? As far as I am concerned, the new leader of Orthodoxy is patriarchate Kirill of Russia.
Where was he when the Orthodox Community in Aleppo?
Proof?
Hello Kosta,
1) Patriarch Kirill and Patriarch Bartholomew have known each other for decades. We know that when they meet, we don’t get to find out what they talked about. We know Patriarch Kirill is very wise. How many decades has Patriarch Bartholomew been a world leader?
2) Had Patriarch Bartholomew refused to grant autocephaly to Ukraine, and shown support for Patriarch Kirill and Russia, what would the pressure be like – for him, the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Turkey, and the Orthodox in Ukraine?
3) What would have happened had autocephaly not been granted to Ukraine, and did Patriarch Bartholomew have a choice about it?
Thanks.
This is so beautiful, it means I am also in The Russian World <3. Of course when you are in a country controlled by the Cabal completely, you feel frustrated, as you know you don't belong – even if you a Patriot, but the country's future is not in the actual path that means total destruction and you want to change something but you cannot for the moment yet you hope the good will prevail and that at one point your country will also be eliberated by the Evil. The alternative is the country will cease to exist in a few decades and is sad.
Is beautiful to find a place where you belong, like minded people and with the pandemic I found so many around the world and surprisingly so many in my own country! That brought a lot of hope!
I thought at one point the World is up for another civilization fail, i do believe other advanced civilizations existed before us and the path world was going was towards another total fail, but things can always change.
I also feel that is true, Moscow will be the third Rome, as the second colapsed already just that they don't wanna see it.
Russia is so wise as to keep resisting the bullies that with all the lack of honor provocations try to make Russia attack as to play victim over and over again, same games they play in different countries all over the world. They are cowards, they cannot get frontal with what they want so they just bully and lie. But the world saw what kind of democracy they brought in Lybia, Irak and too many other countries. Also what happens in the countries they put puppets regimes: total loot, pay a few a priviledged class while empovering all the rest, keep them hostages, use them and also decrease natality rate as much as possible and migration so the people don't have roots and be controlled easily. Mix and match the Global population to make them all slaves.
I am so glad so many people took the red pill and so many are taking it day by day and thank you for saying the nice words about who is part of the Russia World!
Its been a dumbfounding experience at this unjustified ‘global Kristallnacht’ against the Russian people just for their ethnicity.
But we cannot underestimate the power of the 2-legged beast incapable of thinking for itself known as the meat robot NPC who doesn’t have a soul and jumps from one trope to the next, with ‘IStandWithUkraine’ being the latest for this most shameful episode in the human race.
They are also the types who ‘just follow orders’ and enforce authoritarian rule and by their hand translate orders on paper into the worst atrocities seen in human history.
All these Russian haters jumped on the bandwagon even though they can barely pronounce the names of towns in the Ukraine. They decided to hate and wish harm on Russians even though no Russian did them any personal harm.
For this reason these haters have brought upon themselves a lot of bad luck in the future.
My theory is that people hate Russia and Russians because of their strength and determination and power of sacrifice and all. Weak people (that are also cowards) do this: hate an intelligent one, or a more beautiful one, or a smart one. They hate and bully and usually stay quiet, but when they can openly hate without consequences, OMG how much they voice their ”morals and hate”. But is justified :D in their weak coward and IQless minds.
The same with Russia now: people hate Russia because they are frustrated to see how powerful Russia is, how resourcefull – and keep all resources for themselves when they should loot them or use somehow – and then when they can they bully. And hate.
People that now bully and spread hate towards Russia are either paid either weak and cowards. And very much afraid they will have to face a Russian as they know they don’t stand a chance – the bureaucrats.
I saw all politicians with Putin. Some (freindly) are very cordial and very close, a nice athmosphere in between.
The rest timorated and in tension and afraid. Like Macron with Putin, it was a delight to see that video when Macron say: We have Army :))) a few years back and the smile Putin had and the answer. It was amazing to see that powerful leaders and patriots too are very close and happy to see Putin, the rest are afraid, timorated, passive aggressive. Or straight aggressive. Is funny.
This is the reason weack and cowards all over the world are now happy to openly bully and hate Russia, as so far they were just frustrated and now they have the chance to be ”legit” in their pitful hate. A strong person never hits one when is down, I am talking about Russians caught in some destinations and facing difficulties and some say: so good, this is what they deserve, when others no matter their oppinion on special operation realise that is not normal to hate a nation, we said we will never do this again after ww2. But here we are, repeating the mistakes of the past.
But hey wait: just because a certain country that is a collony and run by puppets that are traidors have a certain policy and mass media is bought, doesnt’t mean the people (majority) buy this biased. So at one point all their hate and lies will fade away.
Russia will win this, I am sure of this and ”the international community” meaning US, UK, Canada, Eu and South Coreea, Australia, NZ, Singapore and some Pacific tiny states will get to see their real influence: 0 for the rest of the world. I want to see them surviving on what they produce not loot from others in this neo-colonism era.
Long-term repetition contributes to the hate the western world exhibits to Russia. It’s always something in the MSM: the iron curtain, berlin airlife, sputnik, hungary, czechoslovakia, the cuban missile crisis. It has been drummed and repeated, for decades.
Oh, yes and all the movies in which Russians are depicted in the worse way possible. The Hollywood propaganda had its place for sure, but it didn’t worked in persons with strong morals, or rules, or whatever, even if they watched the same movies :).
Or maybe it did for a while, but there are a few years since the world saw the real acts of Empire of Hate and Lies and the damage it made all over the world. Ok, one country destroyed, second, third …. countring and counting. Iran was the first: NO MORE! They wanted to attack Iran, but so many said: no more we dont want to see another Irak, another Siria, doesn’t matter the reason, We don’t want to hear anything any lie, we don’t want to see another country destroyed. Some didnt care about the countries being destroyed and also about the victims but were afraid of another wave of tens of millions of refugees so they said: no we dont want war in Iran (europeans).
And then the relief when Iran signed the agreement with China. It was the moment US stopped talking about attacking Iran and Israel continued to ask for it but found no one willing to join them. They started to say. even if we go alone, we will attack Iran, it was funny to read all these calls in the last year or so.

Great reply.
The weak, frightened man/woman is the worst, as we saw with the Branch Covidians snitching to authorities about people breaking lockdown rules.
Being weak and frightened makes them willing compliant cretinous tools whose loyalty switches at the drop of a hat.
thank you!
Being stuck in Singapore where the latest lunacy of the local fear machine equating those of us believing in ‘Russian disinformation’ (including atrocities of Azov Nazis on civilians) to being ‘anti-American’, the broader meaning of ‘The Russian World’ in the second last paragraph meant a lot to me.
At this point the ‘Russian world’ should also mean ‘the Sane World’ which is why those who aren’t Russian Orthodox or Russian speaking are considering themselves part of ‘Russky Mir’
For me “The Russian World” would mean people speaking Russian. Language is important, much more important than people know of, because it is from the word and language we are being deceived by the liars.
The attraction to this “The Russian world” for us who dont speak the language, is the difference between right and wrong. Things that are right, tradition, creativity, sincerity, dignity, spirit and soul. In opposition to the destructive ugliness of the liar world :-D.
Yes but I’ve started to learn Russian also being in a Balkan country we are very similar. Many Romanians dont like the fact we are where we are and how we are, have an identity crisis, but what i always admired in Russians is they are proud of their country and are so easy going, open, happy when they are in vacation, not like others always complaining, they like to live, to enjoy life, I really like Russians too for so many things and one is the fact they didnz’t had the ”Witch Hunt” and that in Siberia there are even now the Khakas people, that kept their shamanism throughout centuries and Russia allowed them to do this, didn’t kill them all as others did with fellow Christians for power and political gains, or other gains, but branded it as ”eretics” and ”fighting for God”. Russia never had a war in the name of Religion, never. This is also very important for me.
Hope I will manage to catch the language fast :) I want to see Russia and know in order to understand it and the people more especially those in remote areas I am interested in, I need to know Russian.
I too am drawn to the Russian world & the authors mention of my wee country, Scotland, makes me proud to be recognised as such, although political & media propaganda here is off the scale & many good people are conned by it, I live in hope that reality will remove their blinkers.
I rarely comment but I have read this site daily since late 2013 & thank The Saker for his herculean efforts in bringing us truth & perspective.
Lang may yer lumb reek.
I wish to support your view as a fellow-Scot and, like you, I have been reading The Saker’s articles for many years as an oasis of commonsense and honesty in an otherwise ‘hostile’ world of ‘created reality’, a-la-Karl-Rove. While there is much to criticise in Human Nature, there is also a germ of nobility (and hope) that shows itself from time-to-time in the lives of some individuals: Gerald Winstanley, James Connolly, Keir Hardy, lesser-known names among many, many thousands in whom the sparks of justice and freedom-from-exploitation burnt brightly.
The Great Satan exists as a terrible reality in the lives of humans. At the present time, Russia offers us hope, as it did some years ago. It delivered us from Nazi-ism. I lived through that and remember it well. We should never forget that there have been many, of all colours, races, and creeds in whom these sparks have burnt and still remain alive.
Thanks to The Saker for bringing hope, and life-giving oxygen, in this benighted world.
Amen. Amen. Amen.
(An American of the Russky Mir)
Brilliant!
I have wait many years for this.
Is that “Lisboa” the city or a surname? A little snippet from history.
Lisbon being from the other end of Europe, reminds me of a local boy, Gomes Freire d’Andrade, who joined Catherine the Great’s army of Prince Potemkin to fight the Turks in Crimea. In the decisive battle of Izmail, (1790) the young major Andrade was one of the first storming soldiers going over the walls, for which Gen Suvorov recommended him to the Empress and was knighted in the Order of St George by her. Later, the youngest colonel in Russian Army, aged 32, was sent North to fight the Swedes at the battle of Sevensksund. There were other Portuguese officers serving in the Russian Army at the time but he was the one who caught the Empress’s eye – for his heroics or for his looks?
Amazing in those days travelling across the continent (took him six months to get there!) to fight the Turks because, in their eyes, it was a war for Christendom. He also belonged to the Russian World.
Tragically, he was hanged, drawn, quartered and burned by the English when he returned to Portugal because after fighting for Russia he, obeying superior orders, also fought firstly against, later for the French.
The evilness of Christia Freeland in Canada is like a ton of lead on the head.
There are two towns called Sevastopol near the Russian River in California. Russia was a big part of California history in middle school there. Russia owned it. Lavrov should tell Blinken that they were just kidding when they sold it, Alaska and other areas for pennies per acre.
The city of Sebastopol California has declared itself to be a ‘Nuclear Free Zone.’ I asked several locals if that meant that they did not have the standard americium-type radioactive smoke detectors installed in their homes, and were therefore in violation of building codes but compliant with their city’s declaration, or, if they had exemption from such requirements, how they convinced their insurance companies that such devices were not required. Bottom line is that they get angry there very quickly.
Still, they produce some great apples.
All Russia has to do is surrender its own and DLPR forces and weapons in Ukraine & Crimea to UAF-NATO.
Pay US-NATO 1/3rd of gross revenues from EU energy sales.
Place its physical gold bullion in the Bank of England for safekeeping.
Allow a draft-like American football system for access to Russia’s best & brightest university students for US Embassy and other interesting work.
Exit Syria, Georgia and Belarus
Allow top Russian hypersonic missile scientists/engineers to visit US for 12 months.
In doing so Russia will be welcomed back into G20 and G7 (G6 if India gets the push ).
Considering the ass-whooping Russia’s currently on the receiving end of according to all western credible who’s whore in media this offer could save at least the nose on your egg-face, if not your whole face. Yes, the finger pointing and bitter internal squabbles/recriminations that ensue from the fallout could get nasty, but in say 25-30 years, unlike Germany & Japan, you can reinvent yourself, well , whichever regions you still hold onto pre 4/22 borders.
Final draft contracts can be signed by Presidents Biden, Putin & PM Johnson onboard HMS Queen Elizabeth at a fitting location in the Black Sea.
OK so Big Joke yeah, however, now is the time for a Russian Shock & Awe moment. No sitting on the sidelines like in Syria watching America syphon your ally’s oil, which is badly needed for the reconstruction of that country or turning a blind eye to Israeli fuckery. Get Real, 5 NATO targets – Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang.
Nice :) I will add some more:
Give the energy distribution compaiesy to Italians, Germans and French
Petrol and gas to Austria
Gas exploration to US
Banks Austria and Greece
Auto industry to Fench and Germans
Retail industry to French, Germans and Belgians
Agriculture lands, forests to Hungary, Italian, Danish and Musilm countries
Give the forrests to Austria
Take the garbage Germany, Italy and other produce, to be burned in Russia
Empoverish the citizens at that degree they will go all over Europe to work in fioelds and other places as Europeans dont want to work these things, also migrants dont want to do it (of course they are not as stupid as Romanians are). All these two wants is to stay on benefits and Europeans to be Managers and papers walkers, influencers, EU bureaucrats and so on.
Sell the Navy for a meagre price
bankrupt all the Industry and sell it for nothing and then buy everythong from the West that is buying from some other place
Stop cultivating food or buy only from other states, so Farmers will throw the production while in Russia supermarkets you will see apples from poland, potato and onion from netherlands and so on.
Destroy the health System, so more people die of preventable diseases and negligence. From time to time some burn in lots of hospitals, as WHO will say you have too many hospital beds (no kidding happened in Romania, after that statement 5 hospitals burned, some sections, along with the people of course).
And I can go on.
Aaa have some NATO bases in the territory and give suveranity to US for those basis.
This is basically what happeend to my country after we were saved by EU and NATO.
We have nothing left, almost, except pay high taxes so that the traidors class that sold everything and their minions to have 20 000 salaries in state positions and not very significant ones (with lots of bonuses anmd special pensions at 45 and another state job etc) awhile looting as much as they can giving contracts to their friends and taking bribe from Mafiots, as human traffiking in Romania is HUGE.
So, there you have ti, a new colony of the ”international comunity”
‘The Russian World’ is when Russian People finally start to regain (control over) their identity, culture, power, History, integrity – as a people and territory – their self-determination, self-defense, autonomy… Russian own way and destiny which in terms of world power is obligatorily counter-hegemonic meaning against Western Civilization that will never accept “The Russian World” or Russian Way. And this reconquest coincides with a total new world order in which all peoples who were robbed like Russians can also regain their own destiny and way. “The Russian World” is Revolutionary! I’m 100% with Putin, Russia and Russian People.
Thanks Batiushka! Victory and Power for Mother Russia!
Well count me in! Though I live in the heart of the empire, I’m glad to say I’m part of the Russian World!
As a monolighistic Anglo American (ancestors here shortly after the Mayflower) I resonate only with definitions two and three, wholeheartedly. I’m so happy to be included if only peripherally, to the Russky Mir. I think it’s where I belong. Slava Rossia!
I agree, this is a wonderful essay and it touches me deeply. To respond I have to turn in the direction of poetry. Russia it seems to me is a particular quality of openness to limitless feeling. The people’s relationship with the land itself seems to bring this out.
For me the Russian world, in the sense I believe the author means, is a collectivity that feels the truth of the fact that the world breathes a world soul, and it has a collective dimension. I see this as the key to the unique properties of Russian literature and culture.
I remember many years ago a powerful song by a British band. It was a call for Russia “to rain on me.”
The singer wanted the unique creative soul of Russia to rain its psychic healing waters over him and wash his soul free of the barrenness that is suffered by Westerners.
Russia, to me, embodies a world soul of limitless poetic feeling that touches the universal and in turn needs to express a universal value in its collective feeling. There is an unavoidable mystical dimension to this that the Russian “process” must embody. And many people including myself emotionally identify with it. So it sometimes comes as Russia experiencing various moments of ‘crucifixion’ as it represents this moving world soul, in contradiction to an empire of ego that cannot open its heart and soul to the universal movement.
Because of this uniquely Russian posture in life it cannot but stand in contradiction to the lies of those who worship ego and power. Wherever the mind denies the limitless of humanity’s divine soul it is denying Russia.
Well this is how I feel about “the Russian World” and why I cannot avoid feeling a passionate connection with its ongoing struggles. Neither would I want to. When I read the heartfelt responses of others here who have no obvious and direct connection to Russia on a personal basis it tends to magnify these feelings in me.
I cannot resist quoting the famous American psychic healer Edgar Cayce, who predicted that Russia would be “the light of the world.” This is coming to pass and how logical it would be for such a great light to finally have no choice but to embody humanity’s final great struggle against the greatest Satan that humanity could ever produce. Russia is the light that evil cannot possibly endure to exist. So it seems that more and more people wherever they may reside are now feeling pushed to identify as belonging to this mysterious and difficult to easily define “Russian World.”
Thank you to the author for opening such a rich discussion.
A comment so rich in truth that now I can be silent.
Everyday its being shown that god is no match for satan, its wiser to back away and view this from a great distance, and let the gods try and clean up the mess they made.
Thank you Batiushka.
Good Friday for the non-Orthodox is here.
May all those who love Christ pray that truth will overcome the Empire of Lies and the brotherhood of all men, not the supremacy of some, will triumph.
Gracias, por abrirnos tan generosamente las puertas,es algo que pienso desde hace tiempo…….y no me atrevía a reclamar(si se me permite)

Thank you for opening the doors so generously for us, it’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time… and I didn’t dare to complain (if I’m allowed) the denomination of zone b that I discovered here, (thanks Andrei) Who are its citizens? You have explained it very well, I am a citizen of Zone B, my head and my heart say so. From Asturias with love, strength!!!
Long Live “Russky Mir”, Amen.
So Beautifully written!

Never thought I’d die side by side with a Russian.
What about side by side with a friend?
Aye, I can do that.
Interesting that “world” and “peace” are both translated as “mir” in Russian.
I think the same as Mr. Armstrong..
Real war Is coming soon.

Don’t ask me to be a puppet. I’m smaller than I can imagine. My contribution is certainly nothing. I feel horribly unfit for anything useful. I painfully admit being quite naive. But I only have one word for all the above.
Count me in.
Я индонезийский,
я русский.
Russian is not ethnicity,
It is way of life….
The US and its main satellites has been in decline ever since the mid 1960s when they began on large scale using the drug trade to finance their secret projects after they ran out of nazis gold. That excludes Japan & Korea.
That has been the underlying cause of social and moral collapse.
And that collapse will not assist those elites in their plans.
In fact it will hamper them and cause their final destruction.
Wow!
Thank you!
I understand better now why I enjoy writing for Saker’s Vineyard!
I like that concept Batiushka. I’m from NZ and live in Australia and my ancestors were often Vikings, of whom the PM or something of Iceland said recently, “Vikings don’t like being told what to do”.
The very core of „the west“ is a dynastical power-cult. It is very old and they believe that they have the responsibility to rule the world and that the masses are deplorable and way too many. They are the dragon and the beast.
Russia is the NO! to this presumption.
Read russian fairytales: how often has Ivan the fool to go out to fight the dragons, first the three-headed than the six-headed and then the twelve-headed dragon.
Russia is the empire that thwarts any attempt to build a global empire, a Weltherrschaft. It is the anti-empire, the core of the multipolar world.
Мы ждем вас!
Speaking of fairy tales, old women must always be treated with respect and kindness. This is a test, and those who fail it face devastating consequences. Thinking of Babushka Z. Not looking good for the Ukrainian army.
The media has an opinion that the phrase “Russian World” was introduced into circulation by Pyotr Shchedrovitsky, a Russian political strategist-“methodologist”, the son of the philosopher-“methodologist” Georgy Shchedrovitsky. Also, according to media reports, “SMD-methodology” is an ideology whose followers, according to unconfirmed information, are in the highest circles of the Russian government.
Here is some information:
Methodologists – https://goo.su/qD51zr
Methodology – https://goo.su/7ppLb1b
Use an online translation for reading.
Is there really such a movement, is it something serious or is it another near-political cheating to make money, does it belong to the “Sixth Column” – an open and debatable question.
One should always ask the question: does the speaker use “The Russian world” in the meaning similar to “Anglophony”, “Francophony”, “Hispanidad”, “Lusophony”, etc., or is it a marker that he is a supporter of a certain ideology.

A very simplified and conditional scheme of the event version is as follows:
The USSR tried to build communism. He was prevented from doing so by the United States. It was not possible to build communism because of the insufficient level of morality. People are not ready for communism. The USSR collapsed.
The US is trying to build a new world order. Russia is preventing them from doing this. It is not possible to build a new world order because of the insufficient level of morality. People are not ready for a new world order. What will happen to the USA?
“My kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36)
I think that the “Russian World” has nothing to do with religion, Orthodox Christianity. This is from the field of ideology. An ideologeme characterized by the illusion of understanding. Something good, but it’s not clear what exactly.
There should be no unipolar Russia-centricity, as well as unipolar USA-centricity. In the same USA, people also live, but with a different culture than in Russia, and not “elves” or “orcs”. If we talk about the improvement of the world, it is through religion or ethics (for non-religious people), which are conditioned by the centuries-old culture to which a person has been attached since childhood. But not by artificially instilled ideologies. In the late 80s – early 90s of the last century, one ideology collapsed. Thanks to the goodwill of the leadership of the USSR, there was no great war and bloodshed. What will happen now, whether the leaders of the West will show the same goodwill and peace will be established is unknown.
Of course..’not of this world’, Jmmanuel’s dad was a Plejaran, Gabriel. In.. The Talmud of Jmmanuel, and.. theyfly,com. mods permitting heresy.
The “Declaration on the teaching of the Russian World” is a political, not a religious document. They are accused of heresy, but they do not indicate which Orthodox Christian dogmas have been violated. The phrase “Russian World” is from the field of linguistics, from the field of culture. It was in such senses that it was used by Patriarch Kirill. In the field of politics, it is an ideologeme related to political campaigns, “political technologies”, “political coaching”. There must be some ideologies to govern the people if they do not follow religion or ethics. But it is not necessary to confuse politics with religion, as the authors of the political appeal entitled “Declaration on the teaching of the Russian World” did. Another facet of secularization.
“The highest and most striking characteristic feature of our people is a sense of justice and thirst for it.” (Fyodor Dostoevsky “Notes from the Dead House”)
If someone wants to read about the concept of the “Russian World”, a link to an article in the amateur encyclopedia about Russia – https://goo.su/KUVG
One can probably define the idea as follows: an informal global community of people striving for justice.
It should be understood that this is a feature of Russian culture as an abstract concept. Although it is abstract, but in culture a person is brought up from childhood and usually acquires certain character traits.
At the same time, there is no Russian “monopoly” on justice. And in other countries there are many people of other nationalities who have justice at the top positions in the hierarchy of values, which determines their character.
It is considered so, by and large. How to attribute the love of order to the Germans, for example. And for Americans – enterprise.

I had just now finished an argument with a propagandized friend where I stated that in many opinion polls conducted in Russia, Stalin features regularly in top stop, even his The Guardian reports it. And that brought about the recalling of an interview given by Stalin to a French journalist who had asked: “What made you a revolutionary?”
Stalin’s answered with a simple word: “Injustice”. There was a lot of wisdom in that “uneducated” mind.
Another observation. Ukrainian propaganda uses the phrase “Russian world” as an ideologeme to refer to the “imperial,” “invasive” aspirations that Russia allegedly has.
“It means wherever live those who are opposed to the exploitative and manipulative Western/Anglo-Zionist/Nazi/NATO/Globalist/Capitalist ideology and project.”
Dear Batiushka,
I, a German, also feel part of this group based on the criteria you mentioned. But, they are defined only negatively.
A positive perspective can never come from the negation of the negation. So, we need positive definitions. The most important thing is global cooperation. What skin color we have, what language we speak, if and which religion we follow, is a private, personal, individual matter.
What remains are the commonalities on the basis of our natural conditions of existence. On this basis we can act freely and cooperate freely.
many greetings, willi

From Telegram Readovka: Kazakhstan will not hold a Victory Day parade this year due to budgetary savings – Ministry of Defense of Kazakhstan
The press service of the ministry noted that due to cost savings and the need to solve other problems, it does not plan to hold a military parade this year dedicated to Defender of the Fatherland Day, which is celebrated on May 7, and Victory Day on May 9.
What is the deal with this cooling of relations?
Kazakhstan leaders are maybe blackmailed by US, as they always do (freezing international accounts, sending their children home – those in famous Universities in US , Uk etc) .
So they try to be friendly with US and Russia altogether, but Russia was the one that saved them from an hostile takeover, they can remember this.
Or maybe they really want to save the momney as they predict some sanctions if they support Russia. One of the two maybe
When I was a 14-year old voracious reader, when Soviet Russia was “the evil empire” (copyright Reagan), I was reading “Mother” and Maxim Gorky’s trilogy. Then I felt a mental and emotional affinity with Alexei Peshkov whose life and tribulations I found similar to my own: father dead at young age, raised by a kind grand-mother, hard labour in factories, striving for a forbidden education and so on. Then we parted ways: he went on to become a celebrity of the Revolution, I was sent out for ever and the emerging talent for writing quashed.
I progressed from Gorky to embrace most great Russian writers, “War and Peace” on a imposed long sea voyage to the other side of the world, struggled with the Cyrillic alphabet but chance stepped in to break any further dalliance with the Russian World when Gorby, Yets and other traitors took the Soviet Union to the “cleaners” and raped the country. I did suffer and wept for that loss as if part of me was also taken away while a foreboding sixth sense told me that civilization was at an end because the real evil empire, unrestrained and on steroids, was coming out for me and everyone else, which is the story of the last thirty years. I felt sorry for my children being brought up in the Orwellian Hegemon’s World and a sense of guilt still lies below the surface. But there was also a faint hope that one day Russia would emerge from her slumber and restore faith in the Russian World. I can almost hear her motherly call from the Kurgan Hill. Too old to answer in body but may heart is there with her sons and daughters.
Thank you for your sincere words about Russia!
Batiushka, One, heart, one soul, one world forever. May we all live to see it. To live it. To be it. Russia World may indeed lead the way. ;)
My family & I unfortunately live in the AUKUS Empire having emigrated from the FUKUS Empire upon retirement as at that time it was the lesser of two evils. At that point had we known then what we know now about the Russian World’ we would have emigrated to there in a heartbeat.
Incidentally, a quick question if I may.
How would two married, male/female, fifty-something adults, FUKUS/AUKUS Passports, living in the AUKUS Empire, both self funded retirees following long & successful careers in the FUKUS Military Machine emigrate to the ‘Russian World’? Is it even possible?
A little sarcasm from a pro-Russian Ukrainian site:
A scandal erupted around a T-shirt with Zelensky in the image of Che Guevara, which Speaker Stefanchuk was wearing yesterday at a meeting in the Rada.
Porokhobot and the CIA Six, Vladimir Vyatrovich, said that it is wrong to portray the President of Ukraine as the “international left-wing terrorist” Che Guevara.
We agree that he is a right-wing terrorist.

These the words don’t bode well for the oligarchs and 5th column in the future:
The most interesting thing is that society now has a request for this national building. People are ready to rally around the Russian soldier.
I was inundated with letters with one question: how can we help our army. Someone wants to send copters, someone wants to send nightlights and warmers, someone wants to transfer money. And some scattered volunteers are now engaged in this targeted assistance.
Although the state could centralize this process. Accumulate the people’s impulse and help the guys on the front line.
There is nothing to be ashamed of in this process. In the Great Patriotic War, tank columns were purchased for people’s donations. Everything for the front, everything for victory – than not the first thesis in the program of building a new nation.
Russians don’t abandon their own in war.

War is a tough thing. But it is war that forges a nation. Just as a blacksmith’s hammer strikes a workpiece, knocking out slag, so war forges steel from dirty ore.
“The ‘victory’ of the Western world over Western Communism in 1991 has turned out to be a defeat, a self-imposed one.”
You are immersed in paradigms which some were/are not in 1969 and subsequent.
Your are immersed in sole agency which some were/are not in 1969 and subsequent.
The context was and has been from 1922 onwards:
That “Soviet Union” was not sustainable for many reasons including systemic alienation, systemicly emulation particularly in “economic development” exacerbating systemic alienation (not restricted to NEP but including industrialisation/agricultural development from 1926 onwards), and nationalism; hence “The Soviet Union” required to be transcended.
That both “The Soviet Union” and “The United States of America” were in some regard emulative coercive social relations and hence required one another to be mutually sustainable.
That for expanding internal reasons from 1968 onwards “The United States of America” required the increased complicity of “The Soviet Union” in the sustainability of “The United States of America”.
The major trade-offs in facilitating this will likely be/has likely been “the Soviet Union’s ” acceptance of The United States of America withdrawl from gold, which significantly affected commodity prices/interactions, particulary to the detriment of Japan but also to a more mixed advantage/detriment of “The Soviet Union”, subsequently exacerbated/extended through the Petro-dollar, in exchange for detente between “The United States of America” and “The Soviet Union” which was interpreted misguidedly by some in “The Soviet Union” as mutual acceptance and “peace”, and the increased detriment of Japan subsequently extended/exacerbated by increased “harmoniousness” of relations between “The United States of America” and “The People’s Republic of China”, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea and Taiwan.
This informed discussions between the Japanese ziabatsu represented by Misui-Mitsubishi and The Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union from 1972 onwards which were postponed in 1973 under the direction of the Politburo and re-explored in 1993.
That during the ongoing lateral process of transcendence of “The Soviet Union”, “The United States of America” – By 1969 NATO had been understood to be a component part of “The United States of America” even by Mr. Gorbachov and his associates who believed in “detente”, as apparently do Mr Navalny and his associates – will continue their war not restricted to things that go bang against “The Soviet Union” ongoing from 1922 onwards, and that by doing so would not only offer “The United States of America’s” complicity and other opportunities in accelerating the ongoing process of transcendence of “The Soviet Union”, but simultaneously with lateral varying trajectories and velocities, the ongoing process of transcendence of “The United States of America”.
1991 was a moment in that ongoing lateral process of transcendence, as is 2022 a moment in that continuing lateral process, and hence will likely facilitate the possibility of “The United States of America” which is not nor has ever been united, not restricting “war” to the last Ukrainian – one of the “benefits” of immersion in paradigms and playbooks predicated on projections of assumtions/beliefs,which, as is often the case, some will evaluate using the “cui bono” paradigm/peephole predicated on their projections of assumptions/beliefs.
There is no “Russian World”, there are lateral processes of cooperations throughout the world within which the Russian Federation participates voluntarily, as do others not restricted to “nation states”, facilitating in part the ongoing lateral process of Mass Psychogenic Illness in “The United States of America” and their responses.
More indigestible prattle from verbal diarrhea. Why bother?
Attention info from Odessa!
The Ukro are removing the anti-tank hedgehogs from the streets of Odessa. There is large number of Ukro/Mercenarie soldiers in and around Odessa dressed in Russian uniforms and with white bands and even painting their vehicles with letters V and Z. Odessa citizens are very worried that a bloodbath is prepared for them and be presented as perpetrated by the Russians!
The city of Odessa is under full Ukrainian control now. The citizens of Odessa ask to spread this information as much as possible to prevent this satanic plan or at least warn the world who did it.
“Russian” is a term of civilization. Russians can be of any nationality. Russian is primarily a state of mind.
The Russian concept (of civilization) is based on virtuous morality, the guidance of conscience and direct trust in God, while the Western one is based on vicious morality and moral insecurity, on the suppression of conscience and distrust of God in any form. The Russian concept is:
– openness of information
– arbitrary higher free education for all without exception
– and the lack of a personal hierarchy in life
The Western concept is primarily:
– personal hierarchy in life (not to be confused with professional hierarchy),
– the availability of significant information about the levels of initiation and proximity to information relevant to leadership for almost the entire society,
– the lack of access to free higher education for all without exception.
The Western concept is the suppression of the development of the intellectual and creative potential of a person and society as a whole. The Russian concept is to promote the development of intellectual and creative potential of a person and society as a whole.
About Russian Civilzsation: Russia is the main part of the Russian multinational civilization, one of the macro-regional civilizations of planet Earth that carries its own meaning of its existence of global importance.
– What is the concept?
A term is (from lat. conceptio) a guiding idea, a certain way of understanding, a meaningful idea; it is a general plan that contains goals and limitations for the implementation of those goals.
– What is the Russian concept of the order of life and the world order?
The idea that makes up the meaning of life of the Russian multinational civilization, is the idea of justice in the life of society when everyone lives in conscience, i.e. everyone is free and no one can become an enslaver and oppressor of others, no matter what positions they hold and whatever business they engage in. The Russian concept of the order of life is a general idea based on the idea which constitutes the importance of the Russian multinational civilization.

““Russian” is a term of civilization. Russians can be of any nationality.”
The Russian Federation’s name was chosen precisely in context not to create a linear paradigm, but a lateral process of voluntary cooperative interactions which would be minimised/precluded by deeming “Russian” to be a term of civilisation and “Russians” can be of any nationality conforming with “Russian”.
The terms of civilisation refer to the lateral process of voluntary cooperative interactions within which the Russian Federation cooperates with others, but not in roles that can be perceived as having primacy, with the purpose of transcending – not emulating – coercive social relations including “The Soviet Union”, since notions and practices facilitating others to perceive Russian primacy were contributory facilitators of the ongoing lateral process of transcending “The Soviet Union”.
A great appeal from people that know a thing or two about war:
APPEAL
International Union of Soviet Officers to the personnel of the Armed Forces of Russia, the People’s Militia of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, participants in the special operation in Ukraine
Dear comrades! Our fighting friends!
Generals, officers, sergeants and soldiers! Today you have the most difficult, extremely dangerous, but vital combat mission to liberate the freedom-loving people of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics from the genocide, to destroy Bandera fascism in Ukraine.
(https://t.me/pravdaphotoandvideo/163) For a month and a half, you have been fulfilling your military duty to our Motherland, to our people with honor and dignity, with the greatest patriotism and selflessness. At present, you are fighting not only against Ukrainian nationalism – now you are waging a real war with the whole pack of anti-Russian dark forces that, like mad dogs, have grabbed our country in order to destroy it and tear it to pieces. The United States, Great Britain, Germany, Turkey, Poland, NATO as a whole want to seize our Russian people by the throat and bring them to their knees with their sanctions and military assistance to Bandera’s fascist Ukraine!
Therefore, in you, in the face of every general, officer, sergeant and soldier, our people see their liberator, the deliverer from all the troubles that are approaching our country! You are our salvation from all the international bastards who took up arms against our Motherland, against our GREAT POWER! Their hands are up to the elbows in blood! First of all – in the blood of civilians, women, children, the elderly and in your noble blood! Before the start of the SVO, more than 160 children and almost 14,000 residents of Donbass were killed at the hands of rampant Bandera executioners.
Together with you, we are indignant, looking at the crimes of the Bandera non-humans, who staged a wild provocation in Bucha, at the station in Kramatorsk. These monsters openly mock and brazenly mock our prisoners of war.
Death to these rascals! Executioners have no place on our land! There is no and should not be forgiveness and mercy for them!
For centuries, the West has hatched crazy, bestial plans to destroy and trample on Russia. In the Middle Ages, these were the Teutonic knights, then the Polish gentry, Napoleon in 1812. In 1941, possessed Hitler dreamed of destroying the Soviet Union and drowning our people in blood. They didn’t succeed! All of them had their backs broken and thrown into the backyard of history! We survived and won!
Today the situation is similar. International criminal, bandit forces, the “brown plague” planned to break and tear us apart, enslave us and ensure that our Motherland, our Russia does not exist! You must not allow this! Our people believe in your successful fulfillment of a truly historic, fateful mission to liberate our native Ukraine from the filth of Bandera and outright fascists. Executioners have no place on our peaceful land! Each of them should get what they deserve!
There is no other way to make peace with wolves than by taking off their skins!
We, members of the International Union of Soviet Officers, participants in the Great Patriotic War, veterans of military operations in Afghanistan, Chechnya, South Ossetia, Syria, know firsthand about those combat difficulties, possible irreparable losses that you have to experience. We are with you all the way! We believe in you!
We sincerely support you and wish you victory in this difficult struggle! Only complete and final victory! We have no other choice!
OUR BUSINESS IS RIGHT! VICTORY WILL BE OURS!

Truth. Media
Can anyone who has even slight knowledge of WW II in Russia not understand the deep Russian revulsion for a new Nazism appearing along their borders, pushed forwards by the faltering hegemon in a last ditch effort to do their tired and faltering “regime change formula” with Russia herself? Can one not admire the restraint she has shown after 8 years of carnage in the Donbass before this? She is rightfully defending her interests, the red line Putin warned about for years now having been crossed by the reckless Americans pushing their Euro pawns forward?
But more than this, like those experiments we did in science classes as kids concerning “super sauration”, where a super saturated liquid would instantaneously crystallize and turn into a solid. Well here it is, historically, in real time. The paradigm shift the real “free world” yearns for, and Russia understands this too. I am not pro-Putin per se but I admire him, and his awareness of the role he and Russia are playing in this. The paradigm shift is happening. Now.
I just pray the neo-con lunatics in Washington are not able to go nuclear once they truly realize they have lost… I hope some sensible heads in the Pentagon just say “no, not doing that, it would result in the end of human life on the planet as we know it so, respectfully, no not launching the nukes.”
We can only hope. God Bless Russia.
I am an Australian female, but I have always been fascinated by Russia, even though I have no Russian heritage. I was born in 1970, and Russia was then the mysterious “Evil Empire”, though it was never evil to me. I have a particular interest in Russia’s spaceflight program; it always seemed somehow more “human” than that of the USA (NASA). I am despairing of my own country’s hostility towards Russia now, and those in my real life have been convinced by the media’s constant anti-Russian propaganda. I really want Russia to prevail in this latest conflict, and feel more loyal to it than to my own country.

“I don’t like this Ukraine”
I don’t like death
I don’t like war, war is shit.
I don’t understand the silent people
Resignedly put on the yoke.
I do not like all the soot from the Maidan,
I don’t like bloody chaos.
This wound has been gaping for a year now
And bleeds in thousands of bodies.
I don’t like it when the guarantor of the law
Destroys his own people.
I don’t like Pentagon strategists
Accustomed to the war to have an income.
I don’t like important Americans
I don’t like deliberate deceit.
I don’t like corrupt politicians
I will never love Maidan.
I do not like that the Yankees are climbing everywhere,
They lynch Ukraine as they want.
I don’t like that Kiev tanks
Donbass is being ironed, cities are being bombed.
I don’t like this Ukraine
Where honor and conscience were sold long ago,
Where “Grads” shoot vilely in the back,
They rape and rob at the same time.
I do not like the cynicism of politicians –
They change people for profit.
The resorts of Magadan have been waiting for them for a long time,
Treasury house and slate gray roofs.
I don’t like fake democrats
They trade in people’s lives.
Their place is there – within the walls of the sixth chamber,
I don’t like their crazy ideas.
I don’t like passive liberals
I do not like traitors to the country.
I don’t like America’s vassals,
I am against the horrors of war.
I do not like “sixes” pseudo-bold,
Boastful words “who – whom”,
I don’t like frenzied tantrums,
I don’t like crowds for one.
I do not like deceit and treason,
I don’t like an ax in my bosom.
I don’t like it when my face is against the wall
I am also against point blank shots.
I don’t like schizoids in power
I don’t like intrigue and lies.
I do not like the grin of the animal’s mouth,
When a crow circles over the house.
I don’t like two-faced Pharisees –
They crucified poor Christ.
For two thousand years they have been sowing war around the world,
Their souls are black and impure.
I do not like unbelief and violence,
Why tease Islam with ridicule?
When is this Eurocamarilla
Remember that “shalom” is equal to “salaam”? …
I don’t like shameless hypocrites
They seem to have no eyes.
I don’t like caricatures of faith
I’m not Charlie, I’m the fiery Donbass!
I don’t like the arrogant phrase:
“Americans are the chosen people.”
Fascism has risen and there is no more terrible infection –
As if again the forty-first year!
I did not forget the victory in the forty-fifth,
And in our genes the memory cannot be killed!
We bow at the waist to all soldiers
The dead so that we can live in peace!
I have not forgotten the heroes of Stalingrad,
I did not forget about the Kursk Bulge,
And the horrors of the blockade of Leningrad,
Not surrendering to a fierce enemy.
I don’t like cowardly Europe
She forgot who saved her
How millions perished in the trenches –
No one has counted them yet!
I don’t like war – it destroys everything,
I don’t like it when innocent people are beaten
I don’t like it when Russia is being strangled,
Especially when they spit on it!

This is not about Russia, or the USA, or western Europe, or Asia, or New Zealand where I live, this is about the world in general, as it has been and as it will be in the future, ideas are lost then found again, city states arise and fall, countries become powerful then fall, the world is in a flux as it has always been, nature at its best, humanity is no more then logs leaves and other debrie floating down the river either to be scattered onto the flood plans to recreat new belief systems which in time they to will be washed away, or washed out to sea where they sink into the darkness, they become the new mountains that look down upon the new belief systems on the flood plans, these mountains then create the floods to wash those new systems away, there is no start or end just time.
