Dugin spoke sharply about the lack of culture in Russia

In Russia, it is necessary to nationalize culture on the basis of traditional values ​​- with such “trump cards” Nikolai Burlyaev began the founding meeting of the “Cultural Front”. A deputy from the Just Russia-Patriots-For Truth faction stated that our country would certainly launch an “information offensive.”

The new public organization, according to Burlyaev, is necessary to mobilize cultural workers for the sake of synergy with the whole society.

“Dear brothers and sisters, I greet all those present,” Nikolai Burlyaev gave the start to the meeting. – It is significant that this event takes place on the day of a great holiday, the Cathedral of the Archangel Michael and other incorporeal heavenly forces.

The great Russian writer Nikolai Gogol said: “Now there is a battle for the soul of man.” – In battle, there are those who go over to the side of the enemy. Now some journalists are misinforming that many have left and condemned the special operation. Unfortunately, few left. Someone hid, not wanting to leave the feeder, – said Burlyaev and, in order not to slow down, he quoted an excerpt from Nikolai Yazykov’s poem “To the Non-Ours”. And at the same time, he outlined the goal of the “Cultural Front” – the healing of our people from the Western “infection”.

Many celebrities gathered at the meeting of the newly created “Cultural Front”: actors Dmitry Pevtsov, Alexander Mikhailov and Yuri Nazarov, philosopher Alexander Dugin, actress Larisa Luzhina. From the State Duma – vice-speakers of the lower house Anna Kuznetsova and Pyotr Tolstoy, leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Gennady Zyuganov, head of the Just Russia-For Truth faction Sergei Mironov. Director Andrei Konchalovsky, musician Yuri Bashmet and conductor Valery Gergiev limited themselves to videos with words of support for the new movement.

Tolstoy urged the public not to be lukewarm and take a clear position, and at the same time not to waste their nerves on regrets about those who left for Kazakhstan and other countries:

– Don’t care about them! They’ll either never come back, or they’ll come back on our terms. There is no way back. And those who do not understand this will go to the dustbin of history, despite their positions,” Pyotr Tolstoy threatened.

Actor and State Duma deputy Dmitry Pevtsov lamented that our country would have to fight on the fronts of the cultural war without preparation. But the contingent in the hall got the right one, Pevtsov rejoiced:

– Thank God, there is not a single Bogomolov, not a single Serebrennikov. Thank God! With two hands, feet, teeth and claws, I welcome the organization of this front.

How we will fight, Dmitry Pevtsov already knows: restrictive measures, censorship and expert advice. Correct cultural projects, on the contrary, need to be heavily funded, groomed and cherished, Pevtsov is sure. The artist believes that all this is necessary not only for the well-being of Russia itself, but also for Europe to finally see the light. “So that the moment really came when Europe looked at this and said: “Oh, oh, but we were normal. Take us with you!” Seven feet under the keel and victory to our front, ”the artist concluded his fiery speech on a victorious note.

Aleksey Pushkov, chairman of the Federation Council commission on information policy and interaction with the media, said that the creation of the Cultural Front is a project of strategic importance, because the cultural war is eternal. And the United States was the first to suffer from it, the senator believes.

Look what is happening now in the United States of America. Destruction of roots, destruction of monuments, history, revision of everything and everything. A completely new phenomenon is being created. The new phenomenon is essentially anti-American. Donald Trump, addressing American voters, said a very precise phrase: “Do you think they are following me? No, they are following you, and I am in their way.” We must stand in the way, first. And secondly, to win back what has already been lost, and not let the universities be seized, not let the youth be seized, and social networks be not allowed to be seized.

A series of sometimes lulling, sometimes uplifting performances was abruptly replaced by a wave of sharp criticism. The tone was set by the author of the WarGonzo telegram channel, military commissar Semyon Pegov. He came to the State Duma on crutches. The journalist is still undergoing rehabilitation from a wound received as a result of contact with an anti-personnel mine:

– I want to ask a question, where was the Ministry of Culture for all these eight years? There is not a single film about Pasha Motorola, or about Zakharchenko, or about those who really stood at the origins of what is happening today, at the origins of our Russian awakening.

I would also like to note what is really lacking at the front. You turn on the Ukrainian radio, there are a lot of songs that are uplifting one by one, and so on and so forth. We don’t have any of that. And the army is fighting not just blindly, but with a naked soul. There is Yulia Chicherina, there are other wonderful performers who go to the front. But this is all a private initiative, but we need a serious, large-scale cultural offensive of ours. It’s easy to lift your spirits when you go forward, when the days of victory and everything is cool. How was it in the Crimea, without a single shot? Great. And how difficult it is to do it when times are hard. Right now everyone is in pain.

The philosopher Alexander Dugin turned out to be even sharper in his judgments. He said that the Anti-Russia project is not only about today’s Ukraine under the full control of the West, but also about Russia’s internal affairs. First of all, in the field of culture. At the same time, Dugin compared the Cultural Front with the General Staff on the fronts of the information war. But one must begin not at all with culture, science or education, but with philosophy. There must be a philosophical war, and it is already going on, it is fundamental.

From philosophy, Dugin spread to culture. According to the scientist, we do not have it:

– Instead of culture, we have “Anti-Russia”, with which we are at war outside and which is inside. I don’t really understand what the ministry is doing. It is constantly doing something, good people like. But we just don’t have a culture. There is nothing. There is no main core, paradigm, core. Our entire culture is created not just on the basis of finance, but on the basis of another system – external, radically directed against our identity. We are enslaved. We ourselves are culturally occupied.
