The Popular Front-from the Broken Trough to the New Tug ?!

When I read the findings of various socio-political foundations and the results of polls of sociological centers, the last words of a famous story of Alexander Pushkin come to mind:

... At the door sits his old woman,

And before her a broken trough.

And it becomes sad when you hear that more than 45% of Russian citizens have admitted that they have not read a single book in a year ... And many do not know that on June 6 Pushkin was born - the pride of our literature! And you will find out that most Russians could not be proud of Russia, because they can not recall any significant achievements of the country since the collapse of the Soviet Union. And yet ... Well, yes that's enough!

Well, yes it's enough, the authorities decided! - and organized the ONF (All-Russian People's Front), headed by our President. It is time to act and create these very achievements, but in fact, one shame!

For 20 post-war years, the USSR created a powerful military-industrial complex, sent Gagarin into space, became a superpower ... Yes, they could not fill up counters in all cities with sausage and consumer goods, but they helped all progressive mankind so far Write off his debts! But for the last 25 years only regression in almost all spheres, moreover, on a progressive curve, but with a flat scale of taxation for the new bourgeoisie, which has long been on the West, and, just in case, has already settled down there!

And, apparently, our president was tired of being a screen, a respectable backstage, a bygone era of a "big hub" and liberal pseudo-reforms with sad results, hence a new cry:

Get up the country is huge,

Get up to the battle of death!

So the ONF was born! And this means that all the previous discussions about elites and creative classes, only idle talk to camouflage the plunder of the country and the majority of its people. And in fact, in Russia there is, by and large, no nationally-oriented elite and there is no creative middle class.

Yes, and aligned vertically and horizontally, the institutions of power, to put it mildly, are still far from their minimum necessary norm of functioning.

It seems that the authorities, as well as the majority of the population, are tired of thinking about all sorts of nazideas, especially given the multinational composition and federal structure of the country.

Hence a new solution: no nazis, but only the All-Russian People's Front led by a recognized leader of the people - our President!

Thought good! But the authorities and citizens should recognize the existing realities: the absence in Russia of effective elites, a productive middle class, a capable civil society and a social consensus. And what now exists in the RF (population, electorate, strata, etc.) under the concept of "people" is only suitable with a big stretch and no "big jerks" like the previous generations, these disunited people will not commit. And this is vivid confirmation: the 90s of the last century. Then there was enough strength only for "big haps", populism and pseudo-democracy.

As Professor Preobrazhensky said, "the devastation occurs in the minds," and this process has been going on for decades. However, with the "disruption in the minds" it will be difficult to resolve existing realities, but it is necessary to start with the search for a social consensus, building institutions of civil society, creating a productive middle class, and then the real elites will appear ...
