Empire [Theme] Page 4
I am convinced that we are witnessing the death of the last great land Empire in the world for about 120 years. Beginning of Russia's disintegration, I would have dated 1901, the year when was the last annexation to be king [Russian Empire] of the territories in Central Asia. I think we should consider what has occurred over the last century, as a series of slices and then attempts to restore the previous state of Affairs. I believe 1917 was the reason that Russia lost a substantial part of the Empire. 1991 led to new known losses. I believe that coming events will lead to the emergence of a certain number of States: perhaps as many as twenty, and maybe only six or seven. Most of which is really important - will dominate ethnic Russians, and not the minority. I suppose that will and the state of minorities: in the Urals, the middle Volga region. And I certainly don't believe that Russia would effectively control the North Caucasus. We will see the complete redrawing of the map of Eurasia. And as I often tell people: don't buy maps, buy the shares of companies that print the cards, because change is coming.

Surprisingly, the Empire built by bankers and merchants in tuxedos and cylinders, were stronger empires built by kings and aristocrats in gold embroidered robes and shining armour. And the thing is that a merchant Empire is much smarter than funded their gains: taxes do not want to pay anybody, but invest everything willingly.

What Empire?
Silence. Dead is not up to debate.
Where today Napoleon, the Mongols and Sumerians?
A thousand-year Reich was only a moment.
I call something else the word "Empire" -
What a dreamer, the entrepreneur believes, raises -
And it grows from ideas.

Recently began to talk a lot about totolerate. But do not forget that this problem is not new. Doing it, you need to consider the experience of Empire, because Empire is always multi-ethnic and Imperial thinking - tolerant. Take the same Russian Empire: army, commanded by Michael Andreas Barclay de Tolly, the chief of police, responsible for national security, was Alexander Khristoforovich benckendorff. People understand that it is not the matter of nationality. Once the Imperial way of thinking fails, there comes the collapse of the Empire. So in this respect we have an ideal country for field research.

For that to become a major power in the world, you have to pay a high price. Here England - the Empire on which the sun never set, but ask anyone what city he would prefer to visit London or Paris? No doubt, he will choose the city on both banks of the Seine with its cathedrals, trendy shops, theatres, artists, musicians, and for those who are more brave - with its cabarets and kafeshantany, known worldwide for the "Folies bergère", "Moulin Rouge", "Lido".

The idea of the superiority was always weaker than the idea of brotherhood. Always the most powerful Empire of humanity was a result of the merger of peoples. The same scoop that you all masturbate, the same Mongol Empire, the largest continental Empire in history. Before Genghis Khan the Mongols were constantly killing each other, because some of the Mongols were not morality. Genghis Khan came and said, "You what, ***Sosa, you're the same, you are all Mongols!". So they banded together and gave all ***s.

Throughout Russian history the Russian people and the Russian government were in a symbiotic relationship. The state-fed Russian force and ruthlessly exploited her: Russian lower classes had no ethnic preferences and did most of the state tax. At the same time, the Russians needed the state as the guarantor of the independence and stability, organizer of the national effort. However, the force of its pressure on the Russian people, the severity of operation increases as the success of the Imperial (socialist) construction, growth of foreign influence and military power of the country, reducing the share of Russian in its population. All this provoked discontent, turning the Russian main support of the Empire a threat to its stability. The success of the pipe line Russian sweat and blood, to undermine the strength of the Russian people and thus undermined the power of the Empire.

The policy of Rome was proclaimed a desire for peace, but Rome has consistently been involved in the war, was constantly preparing for war, pursued a policy of interference and intervention. It was not such a corner in the world where any interests of Rome was not under a real or imaginary threat. If it was not the interests of Rome itself, it means his allies. But if this part of the world were not allies of Rome, they came up with. War always wore a veil of legitimacy. The city was attacked by angry neighbours have always struggled for survival. The whole world was populated by crowds of enemies, and it was the obvious duty of Rome to protect themselves from their undeniably aggressive intentions.

And from the East Russia still does not know its limits, I saw floating on the Amur and Yukon, they - the ocean! - stayed in their smoky wigwams of the Indian chiefs, with their guns, the Russians slipped through the hot Prairie California by the Empire. But the Empire is so rapidly growing that the Russian could not put up fences.

Empire is not pulled into their ranks by force, but reserved the right to protect ourselves from the rot of tyranny, sectarianism, democracy-modern and other types of social decay.

Russia is a huge country with a huge history, great history. <...> It's either you love Russia, and as bequeathed to us by Alexander, the history of his country, or not love, despise, do not understand... I do not understand Russia... And who are you? Russia chooses smart people who will understand. <...> The Empire guard is not a beard to shake. It and happiness and a burden. Who chooses the geranium on the window, a quiet house, and let all these eddies of human you do not touch - well, it is not always possible to sit in this silence... Or it is a heroic story, this is Beethoven in music. What do you want? Russia has such a fate.

The British Empire owes its existence to this spirit. Our young people came to India and different places, and stepped over everyone just because they were too ignorant to realize all the difficulties awaiting them in this way. They were taught that if you have healthy veins in the blood (and in schools and universities, brought to automatism, the idea that you are Lord of creation and can not be wrong, and should not even notice the losses), then everything will be fine. And now we lose the Empire, because they were "struck pale infirmity of meditation". Intellectuals brought us to the provisions of the "miserable cats of the old sayings". The spirit of hamlet took the place of the spirit of Macbeth. And Macbeth just because he died, that Macduff took his courage in his interpretation of what he said witch. And Coriolanus failed only because had to stop and think. As the poet said: "Love the knowledge of the means to hate life."
