But because people do not need every day to do meanness to be scoundrels. The essence of man is manifested in the few, but characteristic action.

The last century was smarter than ours, and the future will be even more stupid. The child who knows how to work a computer, but not knowing the multiplication table, is a sign of degradation. Everything else in the world disappeared the mystery and Holiness. We turn into a smart car, consisting of fools and serving even more stupid characters.

My encounters with historical figures are either not held at all, or was anecdotal short. About Lenin I found out when he was no longer in the world. About Stalin, I learned early. By the age of seventeen I had a passionate desire to see him, but in order to shoot or throw a bomb at him. But our meeting did not take place for reasons purely of a technical nature: there was no gun and no bombs, and the minimum distance to Stalin, for which I was eligible, excluded the possibility of the use of gun and bombs if they were.

It is well known that human memory is not subject to the rules of logic. It is not klassificeret the events of his life as significant and insignificant and does not give preference to the first. For example, I still remember the phone number that I had to call for the first time in 1933, but I do not remember the phone number of his own apartment where he lived for many years in Moscow. I remember the number of the rifle that I was given in 1940 in the army, but can't remember the name and location of the settlements which I have visited during his travels in 1939 - 1940. I remember the name of the horse that I was given on arrival in a cavalry regiment. But I couldn't for many months while writing the book, to remember the name of the guy I shared a piece of bread and innermost thoughts, and who denounced me in a Special Department of a regiment. So if you strictly follow what is stuck in memory, then the objective picture of life can happen even with sincere intentions to be objective.

The rebellious person or group of people has no program of his behavior during the riot. Riot has a reason but has no purpose. Rather, he has a purpose in itself. The riot is a purely emotional phenomenon, although the number of reasons and can include considerations of the mind. The riot is a manifestation of hopeless despair. In a state of revolt people can do things that, from the point of view of outside observers look insane. Revolt is the state of madness, but madness is not medical, but social.

According to my observations, the behavior of the Americans there is something of Hollywood, a kind of mental stupidity and moral vacuity arising from the consciousness of superior physical power and ego "Superman". This condition was observed in Nazi Germany in the beginning of the Second world war. Only the Germans are dressed in tragic costume wagnerism. And everything looks like the typical American "costume" film.

They say that in connection with the terrorist attacks in the United States was the turning point in world history. <...> Created an ideological image of the world of terrorism as a global enemy supposedly threatening the entire human civilization. Undoubtedly, the world terrorism is a fact. <...> Moreover, the Western world headed by the United States itself carries out the globalization of humanity through terror, being a role model and justify terrorism in the eyes of the terrorists. In fact, the US has become a world landmark and a terrorist claiming to have a monopoly in this capacity.

The idea of material abundance with communism and distribution of wealth according to his needs turned out to be suicidal for real communism, shifting value system of the spiritual realm in the material.

The tendency to a critical attitude to everything and her jealousy of the unknown, and no sanction countless deeds of the Soviet people, causing damage to Soviet society, completed the complex reasons that made the ideological and psychological crisis of Soviet society is inevitable.

The Communist social organization is not biologically innate to some people, including Russians. It is historically invented. Similarly zapadnistsky social organization is not innate to any people. Private property and private enterprise are not natural-born Western peoples. It is too artificial invention in the social evolution of people.

Democracy is not something comprehensive. Its principles are limited in scope. They are inappropriate, for example, in internal military discipline in the activities of the administrative-bureaucratic system, in the organization of commercial enterprises, etc. < ... > for Example, the prohibition of the pilots ' strike, causing damage to many thousands of passengers, or demonstrations that disrupt the transport of millions of, is not a violation of the democratic rights of some category of people, because it is done to protect the rights of other categories of people, first and superior in many ways.

Russia remains the enemy of the West in the ongoing global war of a new type. The West can calm down only when our country and our people will be relegated to a status worthy of ridicule and contempt. On the way to world domination of the West is resisting the Muslim (Arab) world. War of the West against him - the next stage of the ongoing world war. It is obvious that the main obstacle to zapadnistsky super-society for world hegemony after the collapse of the Soviet bloc and the Soviet Union becomes a Communist China. It is important for us to establish what fate awaits our country in war Western world with China, which will inevitably become one of the most important phenomena of human life in the XXI century. Some prophesies (and many crave it) that formed the Eurasian unity, led by Russia and this unity will resist Westernism.

I will not touch social nature of Khrushchev's "coup". Let me just say one aspect associated with the topic of our conversation. No one paid any attention to this aspect: I mean the fact that millions of Stalinists led by Khrushchev (and he was a Stalinist lackey!) lightning betrayed his leader Stalin and became an active anti-Stalinists. <...> The entire de-Stalinization was generally as a mass betrayal, an initiative which came from the heights of power and in which was involved almost all active Soviet population. It was a kind of dress rehearsal that fateful universal betrayal that was committed at the initiative of Gorbachev and then Yeltsin administration.

What a betrayal, ' said the Critic, - it seems to be obvious. It seems to be! But only in simple and familiar cases. Man became a spy for a hostile country is a traitor. Sided with the enemies in war is a traitor. <...> A simple case of betrayal, there is a relationship between two people. <...> The more complex cases of betrayal - when partners relationship, I was telling you about, the essence of one person or a group of people, group of people on both sides, to unite the many people, large masses of people, entire Nations and countries. <...> For example, in the case of collective betrayal of the moral and legal responsibility of the members of the band decreases with the increase of the collective. Starting with a certain degree of collective moral assessment of his behaviour as betrayal loses its meaning. When all the traitors, traitors no.
