From television news, in newspapers and just inconversations often heard the words nationalism, national idea, Nazism, the nationalist party, the nationalist rally. All of them merge into a single picture, far from reality. Many add racism and fascism to the heap, such a picture will scare anyone away. How many nationalists in Russia really are, nobody knows. Let's try to figure out who the nationalists are and how to distinguish them.
Nationalist program
At the moment, there are tens, if not hundreds.organizations in our country that proudly fit themselves into the nationalists of Russia. But at the same time they have different development programs, different goals and ways to implement them, they may even contradict each other. Young and hot people can buy into loud slogans and charisma of leaders and, without understanding, become a tool in the hands of others.
Real nationalists are distinguished by several points in their programs, they can be retold in different ways, but this does not change the essence:
- The constitution should have an amendment recognizing the rights of Russia for the Russian people, and the Russians for the state-forming people.
- Russian citizenship is a privilege for which there should be no obstacles for Russians.
- Now in Russia there are laws adopted for everythingstate, but also in each subject has its own, regional. The budget for the subjects is unevenly distributed, depending on the goals of the state and the need. Nationalists advocate the elimination of legal and budgetary differences between territories and regions of the state on the one hand, and national republics on the other.
- The most painful place for a nationalist ismigration of the population of the nearest countries to Russia. The clashes of Russians with “persons of Caucasian nationality” do not surprise anyone. Therefore, almost every party of Russian nationalists supports the introduction of a visa regime between Russia and the countries of Central Asia and the Caucasus.
Russian nationalists flag
Nationalists apply as "their"black and yellow and white flag, or the so-called imperial. The combination is bright and memorable, especially when the inscriptions “For Faith, Tsar and Fatherland!” Are added to the colors. However, the story of its appearance is such that the question arises, why did the nationalists of Russia choose him?
During the Romanov dynasty, these colors wereimperial The standard of the ruling dynasty was a black eagle on a yellow background. These colors were legalized by Alexander II as stamp. But the colors and national flag are not the same. This procedure lasted only 25 years and was canceled by Alexander III. A well-known red-blue-white tricolor began to be used as any decorative purposes. And the "imperial flag" began to be associated only with the Romanov dynasty.
Nationalist parties and organizations
On the territory of Russia in every subject thereorganization, party, section, classifying itself as nationalistic. T-shirts, caps, scarves with the words "I am Russian" are known to everyone. The complete list of Russian nationalists is huge, but among them one can single out the main ones.
Умеренные организации.Their goals include, as a rule, the legal protection of Russians, the information component, the protection of Orthodoxy and the Russian Orthodox Church, political education and religious. Some call for resistance to state policy aimed at taking into account the interests of the multinational population of the country, without violence. The ideology of such organizations lacks racism and calls for aggression. The most famous of them are the People’s Union, the Russian Social Movement (ROD), the National Patriots of Russia, the Movement Against Illegal Migration.
Radical organizations.These express their opinions more sharply, their methods and programs will leave few people indifferent, even Russian people react to them both positively and negatively. They strive to establish authoritarian control, strict discipline and foster loyalty to the leader, their ideology is very similar to the fascist one, some call themselves that. Some of them are organized by younger skinheads, which are focused on pre-revolutionary Russia (the Black Hundred organization, who knows the story, will shudder). Many of them are characterized by separatism and extremism. The most famous of them are the NPF “Memory”, the People’s National Party, the Movement and the Guard of Alexander Barshakov, the True Russian National Unity, the National Union.
Got banned
Not all Russian nationalists use peacefulmethods to achieve their goals. It is worth mentioning such organizations that, thanks to their actions, were banned. There are not so many of them, this is the National Socialist society, the National Bolshevik Party, the Slavic Union. They differ in ideological diversity - from German National Socialism to Marxism. Many activists were imprisoned.
Most of the above-mentioned organizations participate in the union of the national socialist organizations - Russian march.
Nationalism and Nazism
These two concepts are most often put together andeven some Russian nationalists use it as synonyms. The photo where the patriot of his country and the soldiers of the Third Reich will stand next to will not bring clarity. It seems the difference is, but this border is unsteady.
Nationalism basically adheres to suchvalues, as loyalty to their nation, its political and economic independence, cultural and spiritual development for the benefit of the people. This concept is akin to patriotism, it unites people, regardless of class. Russian nationalists are people who strive for the good of the entire people of our state.
Nazism is an abbreviated form of national socialism.The main goal of this ideology is to establish the power of one race in a specific territory, while the interests of other nationalities are sacrificed in favor of the dominant one. A vivid example in history is the activities of the Third Reich.
The biggest nationalist
In one of his speeches, Vladimir PutinHe called himself the main nationalist of Russia. For many, this caused a smile, but the subsequent words of the president clearly marked his position. Vladimir Putin called the right for the good of all the people of Russia correct for nationalism, while rejecting intolerance towards other nationalities. It turns out that the real flag of the nationalists of Russia flutters in every city above the administration building.
