THE HISTORICAL TRAGEDY OF RUSSIAN BYZANTISM

THE HISTORICAL TRAGEDY OF RUSSIAN BYZANTISM

The essence of this subject is Russian Byzantism and its historical failure and tragedy. Both State and Orthodox Church in their uneasy but strategic partnership ("Symphony") served as means and tools of enslavement, and slavery, both spiritual (religious) and real (social and economic) was the hallmark and the very texture of life in all its aspects in Byzantium and later in what we now call Russia. In the case of the latter it was compounded by the enormous, deadly, crashing impact of mongol-tatar invasion. This is not marxist, but common sense analysis. Now it came to a breaking point because this "symphonic" model cannot sustain itself any longer, it simply does not work. I think we (or future generations) will see the long overdue process of "protestanisation" of ROC and inevitable social, economic and territorial break-up of Russia as we know it.

Византизм как симулякр самосознания

Леонтьев - лучший из идеологов рабской официальной народности, которая позволяет, с одной стороны, стирать различия между народом и быдлом, а с другой - заменять представительство символикой былого или грядущего величия.


"Леонтьев – поэт аутентичности, которая в переводе именуется словом "самобытность". У Леонтьева панэстетическое мышление, из духа которого выросла современная гей-культура."

"мы по-прежнему не осознали роль византизма..."
