Ilya Glazunov. The Market of our Democracy.
1999. Oil on canvas. 300 х 600.
“The Market of our Democracy” reflects the thoughts of millions of our fellow countrymen now living in the post-Soviet era, and if one can compare “The Destruction of the Church on Easter Eve” with the epic creations of the Russian school of painting, then in this work we feel the pain and anger of the artist, our contemporary, who with unflinching courage has brought together on one canvas the entire nightmare of the turbulent late twentieth century. But despite everything, there is a shining ray of hope and faith in Russia’s approaching renaissance.
Allen Dulles.
PLAN OF DESTRUCTION OF RUSSIA
«Reflections about implementation of the American post-war doctrine
against the USSR», 1945.
Allen Dulles (1893-1969) worked in CIA of the USA from the moment of his creation in 1947. In 1942-1945 he directed political investigation in Europe. The director of CIA in 1953-1961. The ideologist of "Cold War", one of organizers of intelligence activities against the USSR and other socialist countries.
War will terminate, everything will be settled and will be arranged. And we will throw everything that we have: all gold, all material power on an obolvanivaniye and outfoxing of people!
The human brain, consciousness of people are capable to change. Having seeded chaos there, we will imperceptibly change their values for false and we will force them to trust in these false values. How? We will find the adherents, the allies in Russia.
The episode behind an episode will be played the tragedy of death, grandiose on the scale, of the most rebellious people on the earth, final and irreversible fading of his consciousness. For example, from art and literature we will gradually etch him social essence; we will disaccustom artists and writers – we will discourage at them to be engaged in the image and a research of those processes which happen in depths of a people at large. Literature, theaters, cinema – everything will represent and glorify the lowest human feelings.
We will support and lift in every possible way so-called artists who will begin to spread and drum into human consciousness a cult of sex, violence, sadism, treachery – a word, any IMMORALITY. In government we will create chaos and confusion.
We will be imperceptibly, but actively and constantly to promote petty tyranny of officials, prosperity of bribe takers and unscrupulousness. The bureaucracy and red tape will be built in virtue. Honesty and decency will be mocked and will become necessary to nobody, will turn into a past remnant. Rudeness and impudence, a lie and deception, alcoholism and drug addiction, bodily fear before each other and impudence, treachery, nationalism and hostility of the people – first of all hostility and hatred to the Russian people, - all this we will cultivate dexterously and imperceptibly, all this will blossom in terry color.
And only the few, very few will guess or even to understand what occurs. But we will put such people in helpless position, we will turn into a laughing-stock, we will find a way to slander them and to declare scum of society. We will pull out spiritual roots, to vulgarize and destroy bases of national morality.
We will loosen thus generation behind generation. We will undertake people since children's, youthful years, and we will always do the main rate ON YOUTH – we will begin to decompose, corrupt and corrupt her. We will make of her cynics, vulgar persons and cosmopolitans.
Here so we will make it!

Anna Akhmatova.
1917.
I heard a voice. It called, consoling,
It said to me: "Come hither, now.
Abandon your forsaken, sinful land,
Abandon Russia, leave forever.
And from your hands I'll wash the blood,
I'll draw the black shame from your heart,
And with a new name I will cloak
The wounds of misery and loss."
But I, dispassionate and calm,
Concealed my ears beneath my hands,
To hinder this unworthy speech
From soiling my mournful soul.
