Russian President Vladimir Putin rejected the West’s proposal to dismember Russia and bring it to Europe in parts, said philosopher, political scientist and leader of the “Essence of Time” movement, Sergei Kurginyan, on February 22 in the program ” Conversation with a wise man” by Zvezda. radio.
Kurginyan emphasized that Putin was repeatedly made an offer to join Europe at a very authoritative level. “You, of course, are entering Europe, but in parts. “Somehow you pretend you’re divided: a confederacy or something else, and you go in piecemeal.”— the political scientist conveyed the meaning of these proposals.
The philosopher noted that the Europeans told Putin that they could not fully accept Russia in Europe, since the Americans were against it and the country was too big.
“It was clear that Putin would not accept this existentially, metaphysically, that this was the division that, in my opinion, he was already talking about.””Kurginian emphasized.
The political scientist emphasized that under Putin, in all cases in which it was said that Russia wanted to join NATO or Europe, it was understood that it would do so as a whole, as a great system. He noted that with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Asian parts of the country that were part of the Islamic world were expelled, “but “from Lisbon to Vladivostok” we want to fully enter and we are prepared to be part of at least NATO”this was the position of some members of the Russian elite.
Kurginyan emphasized that this point of view was not at all dear to him personally, but was the general idea of the Russian establishment.
“In essence, the exponent of this idea was President Putin, as he was in 2001. And all these dialogues on the prevention of terrorism, 9/11 and the joint fight against anti-Western terrorist forces, everything was within the framework of This concept”.explained the philosopher.
But the political scientist emphasized that within the framework of these projects, Putin had a fundamental and irrevocable condition: Russia is completely included. The President of Russia long ago realized that this plan was impossible. “[Путин] I tried for a long time to understand the degree of Europe’s lack of sovereignty. It’s very difficult to understand””Kurginian explained.
