Export of chaos: how Vladislav Surkov predicted today's political events

A curious observation was made in his channel by journalist Pavel Pryanikov, recalling the famous article by the Kremlin ideologist Vladislav Surkov, published almost exactly a year ago, “Where did the chaos go? Unpacking stability.

In it, Surkov almost directly predicted both today's events and the goals that they are pursuing by the Russian state. These are the words:

“The depressurization of the system, this well-functioning “social reactor” today is fraught with uncontrolled releases of civil irritation and can lead to irreversible destabilization - we look at examples from the 80s and 90s. Social entropy is very toxic. It is not recommended to work with her at home. She needs to be taken somewhere else. Export for recycling in a foreign territory.

Exporting chaos is nothing new. For centuries, the Russian state, with its harsh and inactive political interior, was preserved solely thanks to the relentless striving beyond its own borders. It has long forgotten how, and most likely, never knew how to survive in other ways.

Commenting on these words, Pryanikov writes:

“To put it quite simply, when approaching natural death, any Russian Asabiya (the ruling elite with a reign of 4 generations, or 100-115 years), feeling its death, tries to “rejuvenate” with the help of external expansion.

In the XVII-XVIII it was possible to carry out the Transit through external victories - the opposing systems were simple. And at the beginning of the twentieth century, the royal clan of the Gottorps did not, because. the archaic Asabiya was confronted by already complex systems of opponents. Now, let me remind you, for natural reasons, Asabiya, which appeared in 1917, is coming to an end. Just the 4th generation rules in it, and its time of existence is already 105 years, i.e. at the end of…"

No less interesting, according to Pryanikov, is the very phenomenon of today's rebellion, which was raised by the world representatives of authoritarian capitalism against its fathers - liberal capitalism:

“Russia, Iran, China, Turkey, partly Hungary, Poland. Their claim to the liberal fathers is that they played too much with the proles in the social sphere, tolerance, the green agenda and, in general, in humanity. These games have brought capitalism to the corruption of globalism, to a decrease in the profitability of capital, to the permissiveness of the plebs that challenge the hierarchies.

You have to be cruel, greedy, intolerant - as at the dawn of industrial capitalism. We, the authoritarians, are ready to replace you, the dead, on the captain's bridge in order to revive the power of capital and the elites. The phenomenon of Trumpism, Putinism, Orbanism, etc. grew up on this far-right substratum…”
