Well, it's Pushkin, but it may as well be Rasputin for all that's left of Russian Court...


"We live in a time of transition of one of the greatest civilizations in the world, ours, into another fundamentally new state, which I call a civilizational crisis," it hurts and disgusts me to say it, but it's our own fault. All the dead civilizations owe their sad outcome not to someone's strength, but to their own weakness. It's not America's fault, it's us.

How then to direct Russian Culture into the future. "Americanized global Faust will receive in the 21st century his Mephistopheles - a beast-like bioelectronic demon after which all sin will be modelled..." - Alexander Kazin, Fundamental Grounds of State Cultural Policy, "The spiritual center of our civilization is the Orthodox Russian core," the professor said.

"In the 1990s, the values of another civilization were imposed upon us, we were poisoned with them in full," said Vladimir Lepekhin, Director General of the EAEU Institute and head of the Discussion Club of the World Russian People's Cathedral.

Alexei Weitz, of the Institute of Regional Studies, said that "the creative act of procreation is lost in the urban environment" and it is necessary to return Russian civilization to the village, yet that was backed poorly in their discussion for a Cultural Refinement of the New Russia.

It postulates that Russia lives in an effort to find spiritual peace and eternal salvation, which neglects material existence.

The new indication began in 1940, which is considered a symbolic date for the "reset" of Russian civilization.

Guessing is a word invented by cultural scientist Mikhail Petrov; now means the "living ability of the Russian soul" to gain intellectual knowledge of historical events and figures.

Imperial centrism is a form of state identity of the spiritual core of Russian civilization.

The brain is a free translation of the term of the German philosopher Oswald Spengler. Denotes a man of urban culture, detached from its natural folk roots.

Alien is a term borrowed from the 17th-century Croatian author Yuri Krijanic. Literally means "a mad love for other people's things and peoples, excessive, frenzied trust in strangers." It extends to supporters of Western and liberal values.
