Evening with Vladimir Solovyov (№ 408562)

... we are stylistically still in the Soviet past or in the perestroika period and we are measuring everything: Soviet or anti-Soviet. Listen, the world has moved on. Everything! Things got more complicated. And it makes no sense to return. And it makes no sense to absolutize what we read in books on capitalism in the late 80s and 90s. This is quite obvious. The tasks facing such a huge country as Russia require some kind of complex, but new in quality model, taking into account all the achievements of the past and adapted to the challenges of the present and the future. And how it will be called, I understand that this is important in the discussion, but it can be called in different ways. As for me, the name Orthodox socialism would suit me. Why? I explain. Orthodox not from the point of view of imposing a confession, but from the point of view of the realization that our moral and ethical foundations are still based on the roots of the Orthodox faith and Orthodox culture. And socialism - not from the point of view of a return to Soviet practice, but from the point of view of the feeling that a really huge number of people do not feel justice. People want the truth.
