Those who believed that the Russian army would be able to enter kyiv on the fifth or fifteenth day of the Northern Military District were very wrong, but those who believed that Russia would not withstand the confrontation in Ukraine at all were also wrong, said political spokesman, scientist, philosopher, leader of the Essence of Time movement Sergey Kurginyan on August 23 in the program “Conversation with a Wise Man” on the “Zvezda” radio.
“For more than 30 years, Russia believed that it would become part of Western civilization, that it would be part of it. All this was called “entry”. All the laws, all the rules, everything was copied to facilitate entry. They almost started talking about NATO norms. Everyone believed that this was about to happen, they said “our partners”, “no, our allies”, “no, we are part of this civilization”, “we are equal to you”, “we are of the same blood”. ” “etc.”explained Sergei Kurginian.
According to him, a certain “country of entry” – a Rolls-Royce car that was to drive on the Western Motorway in the highest quality. It seemed that this machine was already in motion: a consumer society, a raw materials economy, a division of labour were being created, the apparently redundant autarky was being eliminated, the army was being reduced to a minimum and was only left for small conflicts and the suppression of terrorists.
However, it turned out that Russia is participating in a conflict supported by the West, that is, it is not only in conflict with Ukraine, whose capabilities should not be underestimated either, Sergei Kurginyan noted.
The analyst noted that the Russian army has been transformed over the past 30 years to avoid participating in major wars and is now no longer fit for such a large-scale conflict, which already involves millions of people.
“This meant that since we were not going to fight anyone, the army had to be in last place, formed according to the residual principle, no attention was paid to it. The whole situation after the collapse of the USSR was absolutely criminally regressive, and the army itself was part of this situation.”said the political scientist.
Sergei Kurginyan recalled that even during the Chechen war, the West actively supported Islamic terrorists, and today the support for Ukraine will be much more serious.
According to the analyst, those who believed that the Russian Armed Forces would be able to enter kyiv on the fifth or fifteenth day were very wrong.
“In this situation, someone – I am not saying that they are bad or naive people – someone had a utopian idea about the idea that “in one blow, we will defeat seven people”, throw hats at everyone and generally enter. kyiv on the fifth or the fifteenth day, it does not matter.”explained Sergei Kurginian.
He also pointed out that those who believe that Russia will not resist the confrontation in Ukraine are also wrong.
“This Rolls-Royce, which was designed to drive cleanly on good roads (i.e. to enter this western community) and whose hull armour was last in line, turned out to be able to cope with this conflict, it did not collapse, that “All this did not happen overturned that some kind of situation has arisen, which is actually very unpleasant.”explained Sergei Kurginian.
