Inspired by this idea, I began to act. First things first, I
thought that I should reach out to state officials the U.S. that they have
forgotten about us, that we are still enslaved nation. To do this, to
present a good case. I got away from the famous writer resolution with going
to the UN Decolonization Cossacks. Excellent work and an example of in-depth
analysis of the colonial status of Cossacks. First sent with acknowledgment
of receipt of the resolution influential U.S. senator. Then went to New York
to not only deliver a resolution which requests that the UN, which has
undertaken to make the 20th century the last century colonies, reviewed the
status of the granting of independence to the colonies of the former Russian
Empire, but also to explore the possibility of cooperation on the issue. If
the first part of the problem I did not have an easy way with the second
part was not so easy. Why? Just because no one Cossack or other public
organization of the colonies of the Russian Empire has international status,
ie they simply are not registered in other countries, including in the U.S..
Therefore, the well-known and reputable associations are not governmental
organizations at the United Nations, whose members have a permanent pass to
the headquarters of the United Nations, receive press materials, attend
press conferences and discussions at a special conference of the
non-governmental level, there is not a Cossack. But representatives of this
association have wide contacts with diplomats and their advisers, to
coordinate their actions to address interested and lobbied their concerns.
Otherwise, what's the point to go there and be enrolled in the association.
Well, the conclusion is not particularly good for our activity, but we
already know that the terminally infected with the disease, when they spend
hours to discuss trifling place harbored solutions to then finger on the
finger does not hit for their implementation. At the same time, know that
even for suburban area not one solution, but it is absolutely necessary for
months or even years to the decision a "punch" and is not always successful.
Here, in question, which seemed to affect our being, we are hopelessly
careless. I am sure that many of the Cossack and other organizations make
the decision to apply to the UN or the presidents of the Western countries,
but it is rather short on them to the address in the archive. Because the
matter has not moved an inch.
Once I officially sent with return receipt resolution in the
U.S. Senate, I talked to one of the diplomats from one of the former
colonies of Russia, working in the UN Sub-Committee dealing with
decolonization. I asked him, did the UN an autonomous national entity of
Russia on the subject matter of the question or to discuss its
decolonization. He replied that no, no one spoke. Even Chechnya, I insisted.
Even Chechnya, he said. God is just, what we want in this world? UN to
realized our situation, when there first Soviet and Russian diplomats are
now washed and brainwashed delegates of all countries, that de Russian
Empire did not have any colonies, while it is ready to contribute to the
liberation of the colonies of other countries, including Virgin Islands
(U.S.). You yourself can see the fruits of this success diplomats Empire.
And not only diplomats worked, but all Leninism-communism succeed in this. I
am sure, without hesitation, that the majority of the colonies Russia does
not consider himself enslaved as de colony that is when they are separated
from the mother seas. An old song, but very poisonous, like a drug. She
poisoned, unfortunately, many well-known figures of our elite, including the
ruling party. When I asked a respected politician in Russia, he in a
telephone conversation with me, insisting that Russia does not have and did
not have colonies. When I asked him why all the so-called Soviet republics,
including fellow Slavs Ukraine and Belarus, escaped overnight from Russia,
he said that he supposedly used the "perestroika" and no more. I can not
agree with such a categorical statement, since the process of disintegration
of the empire there, and few can argue otherwise. The entire Caucasus is a
striking example. However, I can not disagree with the observation of a
respected academician R. Sagdiyev to my question about the law of the United
States 86-90 Captive Nations with reference to people of the Cossacks and
Idel-Ural. He explained simply that the United States lowered the law "on
the brakes." Well, he knows better, and I can not contradict him, especially
since no leader Cossacks never formally requested the U.S. State Department
about the problem. As a result, no U.S. Senator has not responded to my
emails, except for formal replies that they thank me for the letter and
that, well, in time, they will respond to it. Well, they know better. But it
is clear that senators would not be because of one scientist to spoil
relations with Russia, the more so for it is not worth no influential force.
It is one thing for example, when they had to ratify the Convention on the
prohibition of chemical weapons at no direct participation of the Republic
of Tatarstan dissidents. There was no number of senators who threw letters
scientists disidentov of Tatarstan, one - to act for the ratification, the
other - against. Here in America, under the influence of American Tatars -
political refugee in the United States Tatar scientists changed their
negative attitude to the Convention and supported it. It is still not
certain, speaking at the time they (the Tatars) against her, she would have
passed through the U.S. Senate. But to use the situation to support the
issue of decolonization Cossackia States and I did not think anyone has
suggested to me. That's what, a loner, so that means I'm not a politician.
As they say, baby pacifier neplachuschemu not give. But it is
clear both that the ruling elite does not want to turn this issue into a
real problem, that is, bear on the international agenda. Does not want it to
become a subject of world masshtaba.Oni afraid of that. They are afraid of
the Cossacks. That's what a sad conclusion for me was a terrible revelation.
I'd like to be wrong, but the facts are stubborn things, and from them, as
always, will not go away. Claims that we are not a colony, can not withstand
criticism not only from the experience of the initial stage of the collapse
of the empire already held, but also from the point of view of the
scientific definition of the word "colony". Take, for example, a dictionary
of The American Heritage dictionary. There's a word interpreted as colony
area managed by the state or the state far away. Exactly the definition
given in the dictionary Webster's New World Dictionary. For obvious reasons,
I have not found in the Encyclopedia Britannica definition of the term,
although there is a full description of Russian expansion in its section of
the term "colonialism". Consequently, if there is a Russian colonialism, it
should be and the colony as a result of this policy. However, the above
interpretation is definitely more in the diplomatic dictionary J. Lo. What's
the truth, the exact distance of the remote state of colonized territories
are not given. In the end, historians and diplomats are not representatives
of the exact sciences, and from them can not be required to determine
compliance with the standards of weights and measures. In my opinion, and so
very clearly that under this definition includes almost all the autonomous
communities of the empire. They are all managed by the State Russian, not
Cossacks, not Tatars, not Chechens or Bashkirs, and from Kazan or Ufa, and
from Moscow. I think that no Russian has no doubt that in due time the
Russian principalities ruled by a distant government in the form of the
Golden Horde, and they were colonies. What of the fact that the Golden Horde
declared Russian territory their perpetual possession and included them in
its structure, in the same way as did the Russian later with indigenous
components of the Horde, that is, Tatars, Bashkirs and other Turkic people?
The result of this has not changed, unless you believe the tales of Russian
historians, that, well, they carried the war progress. It is not difficult
to understand that there is simply rotated opposite axis control by the
predatory colonial war. Moscow in a Russian state control colonies,
including the heirs of the Golden Horde, with severe consequences for them.
In Russia, the well-known fact that the Golden Horde joined several very
large clans of Cossacks . Also almost no one remembers now that the movement
of the Vikings in Scandinavia began with the arrival of the warlike clans
Cossack-Scythians in their land. It is not clear why the Russian but does
not hide the fact that the bloody king in Russia, Ivan the Terrible
(Ryurekovich) a direct descendant of one of the leaders of the Vikings. And
after a century and a half part of the descendants of the Vikings came back
to the land of their ancestors to the Don and the Dnieper. This is the
essence of historical truth and not escape from it. However, the essence of
things is not changed by the claim that de Russian colonization different
from the British or the French. Even because the Russian imperialists refuse
to accurately determine the boundaries of the metropolis. And so today the
same question for the study, what was the question of finding the mine,
where he worked as general secretary of USSR comrade Khrushchev, or the
army, commanded by five times hero of USSR , idiot Leonid Brezhnev. Clearly,
this is no more than an imperial trick. Sooner or later, Putin or other
Russian president to address this issue. We are witnessing the collapse of
Yugoslavia with a very defined borders of Serbia. Fortunately Serbs,
although they managed to keep their long-inhabited territory. Our Russian
even do not. I am sure that this is just another manifestation of arrogance
in solving serious problems. Too late, it would be necessary to define them,
but that may have to hard. As I said the political prisoners in jail,
"Sailor's Silence", the earlier you get in, get out sooner.
Could well be that the question of independence, many
understand as an absolute categorical separation of the empire, the
reluctance to be in friendship and alliance with the Russian. The
geopolitical situation Cossacks or other colonies of the empire, except for
a few of them, and many-centuries-old ties between the people do not leave
room for such suspicion. No, the colonies can not move to the moon or enter
under the protection of other older brothers as Turkey or China, for
example. However, do not put the cart before the horse. All the talk about
the union of a union can only take place between equal partners, not between
master and slave. Any democratic State Union, which may be supposed, for
example, the Confederation of the republics of the former (I think that by
the time negotiations empire will be dissolved, and in the former colonies
gain independence Russia de facto and de jure) can only be established on
the basis of delegation from the bottom up, not the opposite. Thus were
created the United States, after the British colonies declared their
independence and formed an alliance. For years, the state delegates were
disputes in Philadelphia (from 1774 to 1789) until the Constitution was
adopted. I note, the Union had no counterpart in history, and even the
creators of the U.S. founding fathers believed that this is only an
experiment on the force for several decades. Interested can refer to become
this year's best-selling book D.Makkoloufa "John Adams" (the second
president of the United States) for a description of all the vicissitudes of
the struggle for the creation, as expressed by the creators themselves, "the
best union." The experiment proved successful, the union turned out strong
survivors for more than two centuries. The main reason for this is
fundamental, of course, is that the country was founded on the basis of
voluntary delegation of free and independent states authority to the center
bottom. Hence it is not difficult to understand that the descent of
authority from the top down is an absolute sign of an oppressive regime, an
empire, not a democratic union. In the latter case, the Democratic Union
does not smell at all.
Of course, another important question is whether the former
colonies with non-democratic regime a democratic union of republics.
Clearly, the question itself, borders on tautology, does not sound natural.
However, we need to answer it. The answer can only be a categorical "no" and
"never." Unfortunately, the question is not a rhetorical or
over-theoretical. And it is also important for the achievement of
independence. I can say with a low probability to make a mistake, that the
Cossacks, and other colonies, with their undemocratic regimes consciously or
deliberately impede their freedom, since for most of the population is not
the primary issue, or even of any importance. Let, (bosses), that is, the
owners think, we, they say, no matter who will be our command. People object
to such simple logic is impossible, because if it is not disconnected from
the democratic government involvement in the fundamental questions of his
existence. Whoever is elected to the State Council of Russia or other
authority, it is not a carrier of the popular will. He only executor of the
main host of who sits in the Kremlin and the name "Republic" in this case is
a fallacy. A thief and a criminal, President Putin repeatedly expressed
opposition to the Lands of Cossacks , that, well, it's not, and all the
opposition parties can fit on one couch. In the U.S., such a statement has
led many in the horror, as it is not covered by the absence of any evidence
of democracy in their country. West did not stay indifferent to it. A major
Canadian newspaper "Globe and Mail" and expresses the opinion of the ruling
circles in the U.S. "New York Times" published articles about Putin, Russia
and the former ruling to suppress any manifestation of independence in their
own backyards slaves. No need to shy away from these articles, they exactly
reflect the opinions of the U.S. State Department. No wonder, then, that the
U.S. began to selectively provide political asylum to citizens of Cossacks.
Here we must not celebrate the powers and the cry of despair. After all, any
citizen of the West is clear that the opposition is one of the most
important conditions for the existence of a free society. After an
oppressive regime does not necessarily have a recurrence of Stalin's regime.
He is now more sophisticated (I need a place to spend the newspaper to
clarify that all so obvious), but the same result. But cry powers are not
collected. And for good reason. Still none of the authoritarian regimes are
not able to isolate their people so that forever secure dominance corrupt
elites. Therefore, it is too late, do not gloat over the "couch party", and
immediately begin to create or maintain any means opposition groups, which
they had not been unpleasant for the thief of President Putin and his aides
oligarchs. Of course, it is unpleasant when radical Cossacks immigrants in
the USA and Canada have criticized you, and sometimes it seems not choosing
words. Even more unpleasant for the ruling elite in the former Russia, when
they promise to remove it from power. However, that's a feature of
democracy. Otherwise it does not work. Winston Churchill said openly and
cynically about it. Yes, they say, democracy is distasteful, sometimes
disgusting, but point me in exchange for a different, more progressive
system. It is surprising that it does not understand neither the president
nor his assistants. But it is the way they dig themselves a deeper hole and
more of corrupt people, assuring him that only they are the very embodiment
of democracy.
The opposition therefore acts he wanted to come to power. But
it must be done by an honest election. To do this, it is also to nurture,
guide it in a democratic way. Simply have to fund it, and for the
publication of their press organs. This is nothing new. Indeed, in the
crucial moments of the life of the nation, it can play a role in the
consolidation of society and thus to really help the progress of the
republic. No wonder the British opposition proud name of Her Majesty's
Opposition, thus underlining its essential role in the life of society. Of
course, to support and work with the opposition is much more difficult than
to celebrate the power of sycophants and fans gain. However, this robust and
fundamental to the whole nation.
If instead of a clan or a group of adventurers manages to use
the same methods of election manipulation by collective farm chairmen, local
affiliates of the authorities that the current ruling elite practices, and
gained power, it evidently clear that instead of one undemocratic regime
will only come from the other. The same can happen if one of the secret
jealous to the president one day arrest him and declare himself president -
a lifesaver. Believe me, Moscow, in this case only be happy and do not take
to restore the former head of the republic, as it would be to know that
instead of a single autocrat-thief came another. How to break a lance and
then try to maintain the old servant. I doubt that the State Council will
venture to protect his master, because people choose not willing to stand
for a democratic Russia, and are ready to serve the capital of the host
district bosses. And the society, the people, of course, will remain silent,
it will be because they deeply care about. If there are no democratic
institutions, it is not and their defenders. That is what the founding
fathers feared the creators of American democracy. That's why they have laid
a foundation of the state to avoid such.
Any reader known as U.S. lawmakers jealous and sometimes does
biased criticism of its president, were subjected to a removal from power
(impeachment) for reasons sounding ridiculous for us. But because no
American president did not try to pursue any politician for that under any
sauce. Not one of them tried to ban on frivolous reason, like, for example,
in "judicial" ban the newspaper "Cossack look" and its chief editor and
publisher of the Cossack- Alexander Dzikovitskogo sent to prison in Siberia,
as happened this year, to stop the publication of journals or newspapers
publishing compromising and even outright slander of the U.S. President. (18
April 2012 in the City Court verdict in the case was heard political
prisoner Alexander Dzikovitskogo Cossack, publisher of "Cossack look."
Former police officer, a veteran of the war in Transnistria, who has
spearheaded the revival of the Cossacks and Obninsk, Kaluga region, was
convicted of "inciting ethnic hatred". Judge Dmitry Pimoshin deprived of
freedom of the journalist for one year prisons and the right "to engage in
activities in the production and release of the media" for three years).
I am not aware of any case in the history of American
democracy, when a president would be filed in court against the slander.
President than that. What's true is true, the second president of the United
States advocates D.Adamsa in Congress pushed through a law to prosecute
detractors and one journalist even spent a year in prison, but the law is
rather played against D.Adamsa and he was elected to a second term. Here's
another example, this time from the book of S.Oatsa A.Linkolne. In the hard
times of the Civil War in 1861, the president was convinced that the defense
minister is unable to cope with their responsibilities, and he fired him.
When he was appointed the position Stanton, all the president's entourage
was shocked. Everyone knew this man was not afraid of insulting the
president and expressions like "sheer fool," "a real gorilla" were by no
means the worst of them. But the President was not guided by a sense of
revenge, but by the interests of the nation and he was sure that only
Stanton, and no one else can handle the case. And he was not wrong, Stanton
completely reorganized his ministry and was supremely effective in winning
difficult war. Ultimately benefit the country, the American democracy. It is
not superfluous to note that A.Linkoln not descended from the aristocracy or
the rich, but was only the son of a poor farmer, self-taught lawyer, never
finished high school, and college, he said, the first time I saw the inside,
when his son went to Harvard University.
We once again ask ourselves why our leaders do not follow the
example of the best examples, and doing their best to duplicate the various
morons and degenerates of the former Russian Empire? Is our destiny lies in
the existence of such an oppressive regime? However, the people of the
Cossacks flair realizes that he does not need the worst clamp. Suppose, say,
Moscow is better, even if it is far, but not as severe as the local
mini-despots, and in case you can search it justice. That's where the key to
people's indifference to the issue of independence and democracy in modern
times.
We should not forget history when, led by chieftain president
Peter Krasnov National Don Cossack Army was held at the time in 1918 out of
a hundred thousand Cossacks soldiers stopped alone for almost two years,
well-armed and Gearing half a million army of the Bolsheviks from Moscow,
the Message the land of Don Cossacks Leon Trotsky (Leiba Bronstein creator
of the Red Army). Only the Germans helped the Don Cossacks by weapons and
ammunition. Don Cossacks alone for almost two years, cut to his steppes over
half a million soldiers of the Red Army, with basically only drafts-(saber)
and captured weapons taken in bloody battles with the Bolsheviks, machine
guns, rifles, ammunition and food and medikomenty. Cossack lands under had
occupied Russian Tsar and his government prudently not built and did not
have a single plant or factory for the manufacture of weapons and
ammunition, knowing that the Cossacks do not like Russian rule in their
lands, and at every opportunity once again raise the rebellion to oust the
invaders with his arms . All plants in Russia used to be in our time far
away from the land of the Cossacks. The power in the Kremlin, the old and
the new perfectly remember when the popular uprising of the Cossacks from
the Don Army was beaten huge Russian army personnel and were on the
outskirts with the Moscow. Cossacks always a lot of that was not enough to
break up and destroy the army of the rassian king. First of all wars scored
major victories but eventually suffered a military defeat, followed by
genocide against non-submissive. To the west of these uprisings this no one
knows. Russian censorship under President Putin works fine.
If the rulers of Moscow deliberately excluded people of the
Cossacks on the solution and the power of the democratic game, finding that
he had not yet reached it, or deciding that the Cossacks would be at the
mercy of deadly enemies criminal regime of Kremlin under the guise of
democracy. What did they do in order to implement the results of the
referendum and the Declaration of Independence of the Cossacks on an
international scale? Turned on recognition of Cossacks to free countries,
sent delegations to explain their decisions? Sent a notice to prepared
decisions in the UN or other countries? I know of no such steps the cabinet
of President Putin, the oligarchs, and I'm afraid that do not know them, and
readers, because such steps had been taken. Moreover, when I met with a
representative at the UN, in response to my question of studying the
possibility of recognizing the sovereignty of the state Cossackia he just
smiled sadly and said that he knows that what actually has Cossackia
independence he is well aware . By the way, the German diplomat literally
amazed me with his knowledge of the history of the Cossacks in Russia and
Ukraine. He knows our great writers and characters and deeply grateful
Cossacks philosophers, who had invested, according to him, a great
contribution to the struggle for non-dependence Kazakov. I confess with my
eyes flowed with hot tears of pride and pain for my long-suffering people of
Cossack. As well, that the enlightened sons of Germany our Sister, judge us
not by Cossacks traitors of our people went over to the Bolsheviks in not
great numbers, but of all the people in general, Kazakov, who is all
entirely on children, the elderly and women who took no equal fight with the
Communists, the only one of the numerous peoples of Russia which preferred
the death struggle with a terrible enemy-communism in the tens or hundreds
of times greater than all the available scarce resources Cossacks.
But why are the leaders of the modern Cossacks take more
steps at the moment? Why no deputy of the Don Cossack or the Dnieper in the
State Duma in Moscow never spoke on the subject of independence,
decolonization of all okkupirovanyh as Ukraine and Russia national land
Cossacks? Why no one leader in each structure voennizirovanoy Cossacks never
took action with reference to the United Nations on decolonization, and did
not send their representatives there to negotiate? That they are more stupid
than me, literally bedeviled by these issues, and the fools in international
affairs? Absolutely sure that they are smart and calculating, but I am
afraid only of his comfortable existence. With high probability we can
assume that they are satisfied with the status quo and the fear of losing
everything they have at the Kremlin moment.Instead of this rich Cossacks
posed to their posts have huge grants in the form of money from Moscow that
they put at 90 per cent in their pockets and in addition they are not
legally privatized together with the Russian oligarchs all businesses and
factories in the ground in the land of Cossacks. Them really have anything
to lose!
This can be seen in the squares of our cities, in bronze
flaunt butchers people, Lenin and his lieutenants. The streets still bear
their names. What, what, but absolutely convinced that even Moscow rulers
not suggested such a nightmare. But every Cossack knows that Germany will
not find a single monument to Adolf Hitler, as well as in Russia, it is
impossible to see monuments of Genghis Khan, Batu Khan and his successors
conquerors Rossii. Or ancient monuments such as the national leaders of the
Cossack movement rose up to fight with Moscow not only a huge number of
Cossacks and tens of thousands of Russian and Ukrainian people who over the
years have been voluntary in the Cossack Armies against the King of the
Moscow Kremlin. What Cossacks mind in place of the iron monument of Lenin on
his executioner eponymous square a monument to Peter Ataman Ataman Krasnov
or Stepan Razin on a great project Cossacks? Maybe Moscow opposes such
autonomy No, no , Moscow is not just opposed to this, she is deathly afraid
of it! And everybody knows it …
It's hard to imagine what would be the answers to my
questions from the leadership of the republic. However, they are unlikely to
have changed in the essence and the evidence supports my sad conclusion. How
else to explain that, even at times government-governmental organizations
Cossacks with loud names not doing anything concrete and of itself is not in
the internationalization of the issue of independence and decolonization?
Here, the naked eye sees the reluctance of the ruling elite to go to a
specific, stress purely peaceful affairs.
Today, Putin, seeing the absolute obedience to the elite of
the colonies, was engaged in the final liquidation of even imaginary signs
of autonomy. Correctly. Since slaves did not stand on ceremony. But I'm sure
he is profoundly mistaken in only one. This one is to try to limit the power
of local rulers over his people. That's the "one" in the first place, rather
than issues of independence and decolonization, affect the interests of the
local ruling elites. It is here that can turn the fight. Who would
voluntarily give up unlimited opportunities for personal enrichment and has
already become hereditary authoritarian rule?
A game of politics to be serious and uncompromising. Needless
to say, what major challenges we will experience. However, certain of one
thing, if the elite Cossacks people mobilized and show inertia, it reached a
breaking point is we once again played, just as it did in the time of the
collapse of the empire called the USSR. Our old ruling elite is incapable of
decisive action for the reasons stated above. No need to deal with only one
of her whipping or exhortation. It does not change. She played well to his
advantage. If she wants to continue to engage the salvation of the empire,
as it does at the present time, we have to stop it, so to speak, bringing it
to light to the world. One of the steps in this direction is the
internationalization of the issue of decolonization Cossackia to the level
of the initiation of its discussion in the UN. To do this, the best way
would be a resumption of the newly established National Front Cossack People
collecting signatures on a petition to the UN. Still does not the fact that
the international community, the UN, Western democracies remain indifferent
to such treatment. And there, perhaps with the support of international
opinion in support of the Cossacks to the Internet resources, descend and
truly democratic elections supervised by the UN, as it is necessary for
dekoloniziruemyh territories. I know not in theory, we have friends among
them, including representatives of governments of the former Russian
colonies. We, the true patriots of our nation Cossacks will be able to
inform the world of the hidden centuries-old dream of the independence of
our nation, the loss of which for several hundred years. Many colonies in
the world, with a lot more experience, have become independent. I am
confident we will achieve nothing less. If we act, not just talk nonsense
and drink vodka. Vodka is the main weapon of our enemies in Moscow, this
must always remember! You should not drink alcohol at all! It should be a
healthy and cultural life. Learn, educate our children and grandchildren, to
study history, to create factories that was not without workmen, make
friends with Europe and the United States-Canada. That's how I see the
situation in the Cossacks.
