terror [Theme]

The hatred with which Igor and everyone else treated Sasha was understandable: the Stalinist terror killed not only millions of innocents, but the very idea of communism, forever making him a symbol of the most terrible regime of all time.

(Terror is mostly the aimless cruelty of people who are frightened and trying to calm themselves.)

It must be remembered that at a time when Kronstadt was a few miles from the capital and the royal residence, when treason broke into Sveaborg, when the Baltic region was on fire, when a revolutionary wave spread in Poland and the Caucasus, when all activity in the southern industrial region stopped, when peasant unrest spread, when horror and terror began to reign, the Government had to either withdraw and give way to the revolution, forget that the government is the guardian of the statehood and integrity of the Russian people, or act and defend what was entrusted to it. But, in making the second decision, the Government, in a fatal way, brought accusations upon itself. Striking the revolution, the Government, of course, could not but hurt private interests. At that time, the Government set itself one goal - to preserve those covenants, those foundations, the beginnings of which were laid as the basis for the reforms of Emperor Nicholas II. Fighting with exceptional means, at exceptional times, the Government led and brought the country into the Second Duma. I must declare and would like my statement to be heard far beyond the walls of this assembly, that here, by the will of the Monarch, there are neither judges nor accused, that these benches (pointing to the ministers' places) are not the docks of the defendants - these are the places of the Government. For our actions at this historic moment, actions that should lead not to mutual struggle, but to the good of our homeland, we, just like you, will give an answer to history. […] In those countries where certain legal norms have not yet been developed, the center of gravity, the center of power lies not in institutions, but in people. People, gentlemen, tend to make mistakes, and get carried away, and abuse power. May these abuses be exposed, may they be judged and condemned. But the Government must have a different attitude towards attacks that lead to the creation of a mood in the atmosphere in which open action must be prepared; these attacks are calculated to cause in the Government, in power, paralysis of will and thought. All of them come down to two words addressed to the authorities: “hands up”. To these words, gentlemen, the Government, with complete calmness, with the consciousness of its rightness, can only answer with two words: "You will not intimidate"!

As long as there is revolutionary terror, there must also be a police search. Familiarize yourself, gentlemen, with revolutionary literature, read the lines teaching how to fight by means of terror, by means of bombs, and it is recommended that these bombs be cast iron, so that there are more fragments, or that they be stuffed with nails. Check out the regicide sermon.

Real terror needs two things: the readiness of the society and the one who will stand at the head. The readiness of society is already there. It's a matter of small.

Terror is nothing but swift, strict, inexorable justice.

the world. I'm afraid the Duke of Cumberland is still not a very popular figure in these parts.

Any revolution engenders terror after itself, whether in France, Iran or Russia. Therefore, I am a categorical opponent of revolutions. revolution can be personnel, which is ripe for us now, of course, we need a scientific and technical revolution, and whatever, just not a socio-political one. Shaking the country will not lead to anything good.

Deep into the subconscious, psychic terror bites, which, like a stone launched into a pond, disperses on the surface of life with harmful consequences. Cover the injury with protective chain mail and forget about it, writing off your manner of holding on to an incorrigible character.

The world tried to forget about my existence. I remind you why I need to be afraid.

Everywhere reign of terror, intimidation and violence. Arrests, deportations, and even executions have become common practice. Life and personal freedom are not worth anything. But the desire for freedom is an innate instinct, inherent in every human being and every people, it is impossible to suppress for long.



Explanation of the quote:

Fragments from my diary.
Warsaw
On 23 July 1942.

I could become President, but the truth is that people of intelligence will not be able to lead the country, not ruin it and not staging a terror to their fellow citizens, and I understand that.

The ultimate weapon is ready. Cocking the gun already pointed at his temple everyone on the planet, regardless of nationality, citizenship or religion. Weapons that cannot be used in a war. It is only suitable for global terror. But, once it is created, it will work. In 10 years, in 20, 50... whatever. Entire generations can be born and grow up in slavery under the fear of total destruction. Why? Why don't we finish this right now? Immediately. Without any additional conditions...

- So, Hussein fought for eight years, killed 750 thousand people... by the way, attack with the use of poison gas occurred with your knowledge...
- Well, that's certainly a conspiracy theory!
- Yes, until last year it was a conspiracy theory until the CIA declassified archives...
- These idiots that shredder for paper there?! What?
- Careful, the Russians invaded Afghanistan. Yes, that's here.
- It is necessary to urgently intervene!
- That's what you did: you armed the radical Islamists...
- Radical Islamists? Against the Russian? Class! Moment, wait a minute... I'm fighting with radical Islamists in Iran against the evil?
Yeah, but compared to the very bad Russian, the Islamists are less bad.
- Excellent! Have to thank one of the ringleaders, those who are fighting for us in Afghanistan. Whatever his name is?
- Osama bin Laden!
- KKH.. Umm.. I'll call you later!
