As we noted earlier, at the beginning of winter, Crimean collaborators note an “annual intensification” of interest in the person buried in occupied Crimea more than a hundred years ago, Nikolai Danilevsky, as the supposed “founding father” of the ideology of the “Russian world”. We wrote that “Danilevsky’s ideas” are really close to the modern criminal Kremlin’s aspirations, since they declare a certain separate “Slavic civilization” and its supposedly “higher character”, supposedly standing above the interests of not only the individual, but also humanity.
Thus, we are not talking about “ordinary” Russian imperialism, but rather about the criminal concept of “racial”, or, in Danilevsky’s language, “civilizational” supposed superiority, which is directly consonant with the criminal “philosophical ideas” of the Nazis, who led the world to the horrors of World War II. We stated a year ago that Danilevsky’s “works” were not disseminated anywhere except by Russian chauvinists, and they were already criticized by his contemporaries, including for eclecticism, for shameless plagiarism and for unscientificness; let us recall that, among other things, this figure consistently tried to refute Darwin’s theory of evolution.
This time, the collaborators “creatively discussed” the “ideas” of the Russian Nazi not in the Livadia Palace, as a year ago, but in the “Crimean Universal Scientific Library named after I. Franko,” which was never honored to be “renamed in honor of Danilevsky”. At the fake “round table” the collaborator audience was “thinner” than last year, however, the participants in the current show made more than enough efforts to make racist statements and hate speech.
For example, the so-called “associate professor” of the illegal “Crimean federal university” Sergei Kiselyov criminally declared the “world power status of Russia” at least along the “borders of the Soviet zone of influence in Europe” allegedly “justified by Danilevsky”. Well, the criminal “state council deputy” with poignant personal data, namely Zhanna Khutorenko, stated that “Russia has never been, is not and will not be Europe, neither geographically nor culturally-historically.”
However, what relation Russia will have to Europe is now clearly a question of the distant future, but the fact that neither Khutorenko nor Russia will have anything to do with Crimea is already an obvious and fairly immediate historical prospect.
