Russia has

domination can be considered completely and definitively over.
The Foundation for Political Innovation has
translated from Russian to French the complete version of an editorial by the
Russian agency RIA Novosti, signed by columnist Pyotr Akopov and titled “The
advent of Russia and the new world”. This article was accidentally uploaded on
February 26, 2022. Initially, the publication of this text was to take place
after the occupation of Ukraine by Russia. The article was quickly deleted, but
the Internet Archive web service managed to save it.
This article describes the imperialist
project conceived by Putin. The total Russification of Ukraine and Belarus is
presented as the starting point for a recomposition of the world order. The
text was translated from Russian by Inna Uryvskaya.
This is the
google translate of the French translation from Russian by Inna Uryvskaya.
It turned out to be better than the direct google translate from Russian.
The Rise of Russia and the New World
by Pyotr Akopov
A new world is being born before our eyes.
The Russian military operation in Ukraine ushered in a new era in three
dimensions at once. Without forgetting the fourth, the internal dimension of
Russia. A new period begins today, both from an ideological and socio-economic
point of view; but this topic is worth discussing later
Russia
restores its unity. Indeed, the tragedy of 1991, this terrible catastrophe in
our history, this unnatural dislocation, has finally been overcome. This
restoration requires great sacrifices, through the tragic events of a
quasi-civil war, where brothers, separated by their membership in the Russian
and Ukrainian armies, are still shooting at each other, but there will no
longer be an anti-Russian Ukraine. Russia is restored to its historical
integrity, bringing together the Russian world, the Russian people: the Great
Russians, the Belarusians and the Little Russians.
To abandon
the idea of this reunification, to let this temporary division settle for
centuries, is to betray the memory of our ancestors and to be cursed by our
descendants for having let the Russian land disintegrate.
Vladimir
Putin has assumed, without any exaggeration, a historic responsibility by
taking the decision not to leave the Ukrainian question to future generations.
Indeed, the need to resolve the Ukraine problem could only remain Russia's
priority, for two main reasons. And the question of Russia's national security,
that is, letting Ukraine become anti-Russian, is not the most important reason.
The main
reason is an eternal complex of divided peoples, a complex of national
humiliation due to the fact that the Russian home first lost part of its
foundations (Kiev), and must bear the idea of the existence of two States, of
two peoples. To continue to live like this would be to renounce our history,
either by accepting the insane idea that "only Ukraine is the real
Russia" or by remembering, helplessly and with gnashing of teeth, the time
when "we lost the Ukraine”. Over the decades, the reunification of Russia
with Ukraine would become increasingly difficult: the changing of codes, the
derussification of Russians living in Ukraine and anti-Russian propaganda among
Ukrainian Little Russians are said to have gained momentum. Also, if the West
had consolidated geopolitical and military control in Ukraine, the return to
Russia would have become totally impossible, since the Russians would have had
to confront the entire Atlantic bloc.
Now that
problem no longer exists: Ukraine has returned to Russia. This return does not
mean that Ukraine will lose its statehood. Simply, it will be transformed,
reorganized and returned to its original state as an integral part of the
Russian world. Under what borders? In what form ? Will an alliance with Russia
be established, through the CSTO and the Eurasian Economic Union or as a state
that is part of the Union of Russia and Belarus? This will be decided once the
anti-Russian Ukraine no longer exists. Be that as it may, the period of
division of the Russian people is coming to an end.
It is here
that the second dimension of the new era begins: it concerns the relations of Russia
with the West, and not only of Russia, but of the Russian world, that is to
say, of the three states: Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, acting as a single
geopolitical entity. These relations have entered a new phase, and the West
sees Russia returning to its historical borders in Europe. He is loudly
indignant about it, although in the depths of his soul he must admit that it
could not have been otherwise.
Who, in the
old European capitals, in Paris or Berlin, could really believe that Moscow
would give up Kiev? That the Russians would forever be a divided people? And
this, at the very moment when Europe is uniting, when the German and French
elites are trying to regain control of European integration from the
Anglo-Saxons and to build a united Europe! Forgetting that the unification of
Europe was only made possible by the unification of Germany, which was achieved
thanks to the good – although not very intelligent – Russian will. Any claim
to Russian lands is more than the height of ingratitude, it is geopolitical
stupidity. The West as a whole, and Europe in particular, had no power to keep
Ukraine in its sphere of influence, let alone take over Ukraine. Not to
understand it, you had to be a fool in geopolitics.
To be more
precise, there was only one option: to bet on the further collapse of Russia,
that is, the Russian Federation. But the fact that this option did not work
should have been clear twenty years ago. Fifteen years ago, after Putin's
speech in Munich, even the deaf could have heard that Russia was back.
Today, the
West is trying to punish Russia for coming back, for preventing Westerners from
getting rich at its expense, for stopping Western expansion eastward. Seeking
to punish us, the West believes that our relationship with it is of vital importance.
But that hasn't been the case for a long time now. The world has changed, and
the Europeans as well as the Anglo-Saxons who rule the West understand this.
Any Western pressure on Russia will be in vain. The damage from the escalation
of the confrontation will be bilateral, but Russia is morally and
geopolitically prepared for it, when a worsening of the opposition will entail
significant costs for the West, the main ones of which will not necessarily be
economic.
Europe, as
the West, wanted autonomy. Indeed, the German project of a greater integrated
Europe is strategic nonsense if the Anglo-Saxons maintain ideological, military
and geopolitical control over the Old World. Moreover, this project cannot
succeed since the Anglo-Saxons need a Europe that they control. However, Europe
must seek autonomy for another reason: in case the United States isolates
itself (due to its growing internal conflicts and controversies), or
concentrates on the Pacific region, where the center of Geopolitical gravity is
shifting today.
The
Anglo-Saxons lead Europe into a confrontation with Russia and thus deprive
Europeans of any chance of independence. In the same way, Europe is trying to
impose a break with China. If the Atlanticists rejoice today that the “Russian
threat” is unifying the Western bloc, Berlin and Paris must understand that
having lost all hope of autonomy, the European project will collapse in the
medium term. This is why independent-minded Europeans are not at all interested
in building a new Iron Curtain on their eastern borders, realizing that it will
turn into a bullpen for Europe. The era of Old World world leadership (more
precisely, half a millennium) is over anyway. However, various options are
still possible for its future.
The third
dimension of current events is the acceleration of the construction of a new
world order, the outlines of which are increasingly clearly due to the fact
that Anglo-Saxon globalization is so widespread. A multipolar world has finally
become a reality. In this operation in Ukraine, only the West opposes Russia,
because the rest of the world understands it perfectly: it is a conflict
between Russia and the West, it is a response to geopolitical expansion of the
Atlanticists, it is the return of Russia to its historical space and its place
in the world.
China,
India, Latin America, Africa, the Islamic world and Southeast Asia, no one
believes the West rules the world order, let alone sets the rules of the game.
Russia has not only challenged the West, it has shown that the era of global
Western domination can be considered completely and definitively over. The new
world will be built by all civilizations and all centers of power, and this, of
course, in collaboration with the West (united or not), but the latter will no longer
be able to impose either its terms or its rule.
