Prokhanov put an end to the restoration of the USSR
Today's Russia cannot follow the path of recreating the Soviet Union, since this presupposes a radical breakdown of the previous regime with a “crunching of bones” and “destruction of ways of life.”
The editor-in-chief of the Zavtra newspaper, writer Alexander Prokhanov, stated this in an interview with Russian journalist Maxim Shevchenko, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I often hear “Let’s return to the Soviet Union”, “Long live the new Soviet Union” - well, this is a naive statement. In order for the Soviet Union, whether Stalinist or therefore late Brezhnevian, to happen, a huge number of transformations and changes had to happen. Bones crunched, entire ways of life were broken, scribblers were driven into peasantry, entire human races collapsed. It’s impossible to do this now,” Prokhanov said.
At the same time, he emphasized that Russia will not be able to exist in its current form for long - it needs revolutionary changes that must happen peacefully: “Of course, in the form in which Russia now exists, it is not viable, it is incapable. How to make it capable - raise a garrison uprising or create combat cells - no. There are other tools to eliminate this imbalance. If they are not there, if this disproportion is not eliminated by traditional, therapeutic ways, then a revolution is inevitable.”
