Russia has turned into the Third Rome - publicist
Thanks to the launch of the railway service, the Crimean Bridge turned into the largest industrial project in Russia, and the Russians showed that they had learned to build projects on a global scale.
Publicist Sergei Mardan writes about this in his blog on the Komsomolskaya Pravda website.
“Rails are the arteries and veins of a vast country through which its blood flows. Without railways there is no Russia. She falls into a prehistoric era where there is only empty space and a no-man's land, the Wild Field.
So the railway is our main link,” says Mardan.
“Today Crimea has become not just “ours” from the point of view of state sovereignty and national meanings. He is now physically part of “ourselves,” our flesh and blood, tightly connected to Greater Russia by railroad. The Crimean Bridge, while remaining a great national symbol of Russia in the 21st century, has today turned into the largest industrial project that we have implemented over the past 30 years. We still can do anything. We can even do the impossible,” writes the author.
According to him, 15-20 years ago, all Russian ambitions “ended with the dream of privatizing something, and then selling these shares on the New York Stock Exchange and moving to the Cote d'Azur or Spain.”
“Today it’s not like that. Russians have learned to create global companies. The Russians have learned to build industrial projects on a global scale. Because it is the ability to master and inhabit vast, simply monstrous from the point of view of the average European, space that remains a unique skill of the Russian state. This ability to organize chaos and fill the emptiness with life gives us reason to talk about Russian civilization. We are the modern Third Rome,” sums up Mardan.
As PolitNavigator reported, yesterday Russian President Vladimir Putin launched the train movement along the Crimean bridge.
