- I agree with you that holy war is more like "svjashchennaja boyna".
- My point by using svatovyi boi was to refer in an implicit way to
- a Stalin's time song and temas of that widely-known song are
- " Dark fashcist powers.... noble war....holy battle"
-
- I would like to prove that distorted Russian patriotism and
- panslavism are almost always caused by overliberalisation
- and overdemokratization of Russian society which leads always
- into stabilation which is ununderstandable by most innocent
- and misleaded Westerners. Personally I think that bolshevism was
- needed to rescue Russian Empire from the hole that abolition of
- czarism meant.
-
- There is ONE good reason to preserve Russian Empire - that is to
- prevent China from taking its own in Asia! Therefore I think that
- there is no hurry to overliberalize Russia in order to split it. This
- is understood by US government, but not widely by the US public.
