PREFACE
As is known, the West's strategic goal is to separate the economies of Russia and Central Asia, to deprive Russia of influence in this strategically important region and to bring the region to the state of a second anti-Russian front. And for this, all means are good:
–sanction pressure;
–inciting hostility between the Russian people and the peoples of Russia and Central Asia on the one hand, and the Turkic-speaking and Persian-speaking peoples in the region itself on the other.
The US and its allies spend hundreds of millions of dollars annually for these purposes—bribing high-ranking officials responsible for information policy, funding NGOs and “independent” media.
The West's struggle for the hearts and minds of the region's residents does not seem to bother Russia very much. Moreover, in Russia, numerous journalists, public figures, and nationalist organizations, as if helping the West, sow enmity between the Russian people and the peoples of the Central Asian republics.
It is extremely puzzling that politicians holding high government positions, State Duma deputies, and leaders of authoritative political parties are taking part in this campaign to incite hostility between the peoples of Russia and Central Asia.
One gets the impression that behind these government and party officials there are certain forces interested in pushing the Central Asian region away from Russia.
LDPR—A CANCER ON THE BODY OF RUSSIA
The founder of the nationalist Liberal Democratic Party, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, was born and raised in Almaty and from there, with a hidden hatred of the Kazakhs, he left for Moscow.
Zhirinovsky was the most hated figure in the entire Central Asian region. While helping the West, he carried out a special social order until the end of his life—the falsification of the history of the USSR. For thirty years, he sowed hatred between the Russian people and the peoples of Central Asia (most often on Vladimir Solovyov’s program on the state-run Rossiya TV channel).
"We feed our southern neighbors, it's hot there, it's hard to work there"; "Only Russians fought in the Great Patriotic War. The peoples of Central Asia worked in the rear"; "We need to create a Central Asian Federal District."
With such statements he insulted the Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Tajiks, Turkmens, and Kyrgyz for thirty years. The Kazakhs got the most from Mr. Zhirinovsky. We cannot forget his statements: "Yes, there were some zhuzes there, but Northern Kazakhstan is Russian land!"; "Pavlodar is a gift from Emperor Paul"; "Semipalatinsk is seven chambers"; "Petropavlovsk is the memory of two Russian emperors"; "We must correct Stalin's mistake and return Southern Siberia! – (Northern Kazakhstan – S.M.)".
In the early 90s, Zhirinovsky repeatedly made threats against President Nazarbayev on Channel One, making territorial claims against Kazakhstan. All of these provocative statements came from Zhirinovsky during his time as Deputy Chairman of the State Duma.
He simply spat on the Budapest Agreement of 1994, which was signed by the US and Russia, and a little later joined by China. With their signatures, the three powers recognized the territory of Kazakhstan within the borders of 1991.
By calling for a revision of the territorial integrity of Kazakhstan, Zhirinovsky was effectively calling for war with its southern neighbor.
Zhirinovsky's interview in December 1991 on the First Russian Channel, the day after the signing of the Belovezh Accords on the collapse of the USSR, remains in my memory exactly: "Now the Tajiks will fight the Uzbeks, the Uzbeks with the Kazakhs, the Kazakhs with the Kyrgyz and Turkmen. And then they will all crawl to us and beg us to take them back. And we will think about whether to accept them or not."
While Zhirinovsky was waiting for these "Asian savages" to crawl to Russia, the West, led by the United States, entered the region. After the collapse of the USSR, the Americans and their allies spent billions of dollars just to brainwash these "Asian savages." Thousands of NGOs and NPOs in the region work with money from the European Union and USAID. For thirty years now, the most influential media resource in the world, American Radio Liberty, has been broadcasting in three languages—Russian, English, and local—around the clock in the Central Asian republics.
Thousands of young men and women were sent to study at European and American universities. Many of them returned as preachers of Western values. Over the years, the West managed to create a fairly large anti-Russian electorate in Central Asia.
The ideologists of the nationalist party today are true to the precepts of their leader. They openly say: after Ukraine we will go south, to Kazakhstan!
Western propaganda says the same thing: Be prepared! Russia will not stop after capturing Ukraine, it will go further to Kazakhstan.
For Russia, the goal of the Special Military Operation is the denazification of Ukraine, but in Russia itself, the Liberal Democratic Party needs to be denazified.
RUSSIAN COMMUNITY
The West, which spends hundreds of billions of dollars on arming Ukraine, has realized that Russia is a powerful country, its economic and military might is invincible. And suddenly, to the delight of this very West, a powerful destabilizing force appears inside Russia—a nationalist, anti-Islamic, anti-migrant organization that destabilizes the situation in the country with impunity.
Today in Russia there are signs of a brewing interethnic and interreligious conflict. In fact, a second front is being created against Russia on its own territory. The West does not need to spend money on this front. There are enough sponsors in Russia itself.
The ideology of the organization is the superiority of the Russian nation over other peoples of Russia and the republics of the former USSR. This is evidenced by the main slogan of the nationalists: "We are Russians, God is with us!" If we follow their logic, we must admit that God is only with the Russians, the other peoples of Russia are cursed by the Almighty.
The young men of the "Russian Community" feel at ease in the vast expanses of Russia – they hold mass marches, raids on markets, often replacing the traffic police, organize document checks of non-Russian visitors on the roads, and terrorize labor migrants.
I was shocked when I listened to the statement on YouTube by the coordinator of the Russian community Andrey Tkachuk regarding the latest march of nationalists: "A real Russian march of the country's patriots. Those who with God in their hearts and love for their country came out to pray for the victory of our army in the special operation and the protection of their country from Muslim evil spirits."
How should the “Muslim scum” of Russia react to this statement?!
The new nationalist organization is financed by rich guys (Apti Alaudinov’s expression), interested in destabilizing the situation in a multinational and multi-confessional state.
The patron and ideological inspirer of the "Russian Community" is the Chairman of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin. He is an enemy of Russia and the Russian people. Bastrykin does not hide his hostility towards non-Russians, regularly incites hostility between the peoples of Russia and the Commonwealth countries with his provocative statements, discredits the policy of interethnic and interreligious harmony of President Vladimir Putin. Therefore, he is also Putin's enemy under the guise of an ally and friend.
Authoritative representatives of the Russian intelligentsia, preaching the idea of Russian humanism, condemn the nationalist organization.
The "Russian Community" is causing an extremely negative reaction in the Muslim republics of Russia.
Russians are the state-forming people of Russia. The "Russian community", separating Russians from other peoples, is encroaching on the foundation of Russian statehood!
WHO IS SERGEY MIRONOV?
The portrait of the State Duma deputy, the leader of the “A Just Russia – for Truth” faction, can be described in one phrase: poor education, bordering on ignorance.
He constantly seeks out some negative facts in the relations between Russia and the Central Asian republics in order to voice them from the rostrum of the State Duma. In each of his statements on his favorite topic, one can see hostility towards the peoples of Central Asia.
Recently, S. Mironov got into a very awkward situation precisely because of his poor education. From the rostrum of the State Duma, he declared that history textbooks with anti-Russian content are being published in Tajikistan with Russian money. And he mentioned some chapters of these textbooks.
Tajikistan's Minister of Education Rahim Saidzoda delicately exposed this lie at his press conference. It turns out that the chapters Mironov mentions are not in the textbooks.
S. Mironov does not like that the word occupation is used in history textbooks in Tajikistan. However, Tsarist Russia did indeed occupy Central Asia from 1868 to 1873. There were bloody battles during this occupation. If there had been no Russian occupation, Great Britain would have occupied Central Asia.
Tajik grant-eating “historians”, while focusing on the bloody battles, are silent about what happened after the occupation in Central Asia.
The Emirate of Bukhara, the Kokand and Khiva Khanates were preserved. They were deprived of foreign relations. Russia banned slavery. Scientific expeditions arrived in Central Asia one after another, which included historians and ethnographers. They studied the religion, traditions, history and culture of the peoples of Central Asia. After the Russian occupation, the Slavic civilization came to Central Asia.
The struggle between Great Britain and Russia for Central Asia lasted three hundred years. Russia won this struggle. Russia's victory was largely facilitated by the eight-year war (1843-1851) between Great Britain and Afghanistan, during which genocide against the civilian population of Afghanistan took place.
At the same time, in neighboring India, rebellions against the British colonialists often broke out, which were brutally suppressed by them.
The war in Afghanistan and mass protests in India distracted Great Britain from the struggle for Central Asia.
If the British had won this centuries-long confrontation between Russia and Great Britain, Central Asia would have suffered the same fate as India and Afghanistan.
Sergei Mironov should be sounding the alarm about history and literature textbooks in Russia itself. An entire generation in Russia grew up on textbooks financed by George Soros.
And today, little has changed in the field of education. Boris Polevoy's story about the legend of the Russian people, Hero of the Soviet Union Alexey Maresyev, was removed from the school curriculum. Schoolchildren were deprived of the opportunity to learn about the works of Alexander Pushkin, whose legacy is the property of all mankind.
Schoolchildren study the history of the USSR, not counting textbooks, from the book by Alexander Solzhenitsyn "The Gulag Archipelago", which the then director of the CIA called a brilliant American project. Ninety percent of this book is a lie. In this book, Solzhenitsyn demonstrates his hatred of Kazakhs and Latvians.
In Russia itself, many consider Solzhenitsyn a traitor and a betrayer of the Motherland. There is a video circulating on the Internet where he literally says the following: "America must take over the leadership of the world."
Russian literature from the Soviet period has been banned in Russian schools.
Modern “artistic” films about the Great Patriotic War are a mockery of the memory of 27 million dead.
The history of the USSR has been thoroughly distorted and altered. Every year on May 9, I listen to the congratulatory speech of the President of Russia, the respected Vladimir Putin, on Red Square. It turns out that the Red Army defeated Nazi Germany in the Great Patriotic War without a commander-in-chief. Stalin did not exist, he was erased from the history of the USSR.
For thirty years now, on Russian state television channels, satanic show business (Timur Zulfikarov’s expression) has been destroying the souls of young people.
OLEG BASILASHVILI, People's Artist of the USSR: "When I see a crowd laughing until they drop at vulgar variety concerts, and this stupid laughter and vulgar humor are replicated by millions of televisions, when I see on the same television shameless girls savoring their sexual adventures, when I hear that the number of hours allocated for studying literature in schools has been reduced, I get the feeling that someone really wants to turn the people back into a herd…"
There is no better way to describe today's Russia than the great Russian actor.
Only in Russia do they reject their spiritual heritage, trample and throw mud at their history.
Mr. Mironov! You live on another planet and do not notice what is happening in your country!
PETER TOLSTOY, DEPUTY CHAIRMAN OF THE STATE DUMA
(Collection of quotes)
This collection shows that the descendant of Leo Tolstoy, a member of the Supreme Council of the ruling United Russia party, has a vague idea of the history of the USSR and feels hostility towards the peoples of Central Asia.
“They (the peoples of Central Asia—S.M.) consumed more than they produced,” Tolstoy states.
An insulting lie! Even small Tajikistan was a highly profitable republic. Starting from the 20s and until the end of the 30s, the Soviet government, taking into account the rich subsoil, ideal natural and climatic conditions for growing fine-fiber cotton, invested huge funds in the economy of the republic. By the end of the 30s, Tajikistan became an agrarian-industrial republic.
In the 1930s-80s, Tajikistan was the main supplier of fine-fiber cotton varieties in the Soviet Union. The Tajik Republic was also called the "Cradle of Soviet fine-fiber cotton." And fine-fiber cotton fiber is almost silk and costs much more on the world market. Fine-fiber cotton was the most valuable raw material in the USSR military-industrial complex. Tajikistan's cotton fiber was exported to 40 countries.
It was thanks to cotton growing and its unique natural resources that the Soviet government generously allocated funds for the construction of city-forming enterprises (under union subordination), which, within a short period of time after being put into operation, brought super profits to the all-Union treasury.
Five enterprises under union control on the territory of Tajikistan processed natural resources and produced products for the military-industrial complex of the USSR.
Cotton growers in Tajikistan, like those in neighboring republics, produced this expensive industrial raw material at the cost of their health. For six months in the cotton fields, women and children (they were the ones growing the cotton) breathed in poison in 50-degree heat and drank irrigation water from a ditch. It was impossible to grow cotton without poison, since only poison could destroy agricultural pests on the cotton plant.
The Uzbek people were parasites of the RSFSR during Soviet times?!
Mr. Pyotr Tolstoy! Don't you think about the consequences of your slanderous fabrications?!
Calling an Uzbek someone's parasite is the same as calling him obscene names. Uzbekistan, like all of Central Asia, is a storehouse of natural resources. On this basis, a highly profitable multi-profile industry, including metallurgy, was created in the republic during Soviet times. Uzbekistan annually produced more than five million tons of raw cotton, flooded Siberia and the Far East with vegetables and fruits.
All enterprises of light industry of the RSFSR, Byelorussian SSR, Ukrainian SSR, mainly worked on cotton fiber from Uzbekistan. And these were millions of jobs in these republics.
The most profitable subject of the USSR in Central Asia was Kazakhstan. Extraction and processing of natural resources in this republic began back in the 1930s
