The Ministry of Culture of Russia has created a list of traditional values ​​for the inhabitants of the country and called the United States a threat to them

The Russian Ministry of Culture has prepared a list of “traditional” values ​​for the country’s residents for Vladimir Putin to sign. The draft presidential decree, which describes which values ​​are characteristic of Russians and which are alien, has been published for public discussion, reports with the BBC.

Document text available on the federal portal of regulatory legal acts. The title of the decree is “On approval of the Fundamentals of State Policy for the Preservation and Strengthening of Traditional Russian Spiritual and Moral Values.”

These values ​​are listed there:

“Traditional values ​​include: life, dignity, human rights and freedoms, patriotism, citizenship, service to the Fatherland and responsibility for its fate, high moral ideals, strong family, creative work, priority of the spiritual over the material, humanism, mercy, justice, collectivism, mutual assistance and mutual respect, historical memory and continuity of generations, the unity of the peoples of Russia,” the draft decree says.

Threats to traditional Russian values, as the authors point out, are carried out by the activities of extremist and terrorist organizations, the actions of the United States and its allies, the activities of transnational corporations, foreign non-profit organizations, as well as reforms that do not take into account traditions.

“The ideological and psychological impact on Russian citizens leads to the implantation of a system of ideas and values ​​that is alien to the Russian people and destructive for Russian society,” the authors continue.

The document also lists values ​​“alien” to Russians: the cult of selfishness, permissiveness, immorality, denial of the ideals of patriotism, service to the Fatherland, procreation, creative work, and Russia’s positive contribution to world history and culture.

The authors of the project see the task of the state in “countering destructive ideology.”

"Nihilism plus patriotism"

“There is no such thing as “Russian values”, there is such a thing as “values”, which some people have to a small extent, like, apparently, those who wrote this rather stupid paper. Because in Russia there are no such values ​​that you can introduce and expect that the population will be guided by them. This has been tested many times in Russian history. Russia is a country where the underlying basis of all ideological experiments coming from above is nihilism. And you just get different options for “nihilism plus.” Nihilism plus pseudo-Orthodoxy, nihilism plus patriotism.

Even the code of the builder of communism was more liberal: it designated certain directions, a certain ideal mainstream for that time - adaptation, Soviet loyalty. And this is a confusing document, where real values ​​are named in one row and next to them is the denial of something. This does not even give rise to doublethink, as in Soviet times, when they still took official ideology seriously. What we see now is confusion in the heads of some minor officials,” says political scientist Gleb Pavlovsky.

“Priority of the spiritual over the material”

“The Ministry of Culture proposes to approve by presidential decree a list of “traditional spiritual and moral values” subject to state protection. There are “patriotism”, “citizenship”, “service to the Fatherland”, “high moral ideals”, “priority of the spiritual over the material” and so on. The authorities are now offering all this for public discussion. They probably rub their hands with joy at the same time: they say, how smartly we manage the agenda.

In fact, the only consequence of discussing this initiative will be the feeling that the authorities in the country are suffering from nonsense. It is obvious that they themselves do not possess any of the listed qualities, which means they are trying to discuss some kind of fiction: “They themselves invented something and now they want people to take this nonsense seriously. Yeah, right now! And people will also get angry about the “priority of the spiritual over the material.” “It’s easy for them to reason with their income,” the average Russian will say, “but try living on our meager salary,” says political scientist Abbas Gallyamov.

“In general, the main enemy of Russia is Maslow’s pyramid. It assumes that higher order needs are actualized as lower ones are satisfied. Before you talk to a person about high things, you need to feed him. The Russian authorities are unable to feed people, but instead they are trying to prioritize the spiritual over the material,” he adds.
