Punya I vs. Peter I

 

          

                        

 

    Punya's former slave, now Emperor of Russia, Punya I, brought his galley to a quiet haven, isolated from the hostile world, and now the Russian people are protected from the pernicious economic and cultural influence of the West. From now on, no one will be able to encroach on the identity and greatness of the Russian people. If, since the time of Peter I, Russia had been trying to catch up with Europe, lagging behind it by 200 years, then Punya I (1), apparently realizing the futility of Peter the Great's undertaking, offered the Russian people the opportunity to abandon their imitation of the West and return to their roots and the search for spiritual strength, preferably outside Russia, for example, in Chersonesus (a typically Russian city with a historical Russian name, of which there are many in the post-Soviet space). It's time to revive the tradition of folk craftsmen like Kulibin and Cherepanov, to avoid dependence on sanctions, to replace the hated dollar with wooden rubles, which will be as reliable as Kulibin's wooden watches, and so on. The window to Europe opened by Peter the Great was slammed shut by Putin. In short, the Emperor Putin the First decided to correct the mistake of Emperor Peter the Great and give the Russian people a sovereign path of development in their own country, Russia, whose sovereignty is reliably protected by hyper sound and nuclear lice.

 

    In my opinion, Peter the Great's main mistake was that, while initiating European reforms alien to the Russian people, he neglected such an important detail as the national mentality, which is well expressed in the famous phrase, "What's good for a Russian is death for a German." Similarly, what the West considers a disgrace is a plus for Russia (2). Democracy is good for Europe, but for Russians it is death, as was so clearly demonstrated during the Yeltsin democracy, which made the people cough up blood (3), and Putin's arrival in the Kremlin was truly a salvation for the Russian people with their great-power worldview (4).

 

It must be said that Putin the First is truly the first purely Russian emperor, not related by blood to either the Varangian Ruriks or the German Romanov dynasty. This, in these complex circumstances, is crucial for the salvation, and perhaps even the restoration, of the empire, without which the Russian people would be lost. It seems strange that the Russian people have yet to erect a monument to their helmsman, while the Czechs, despite some hostility, have nevertheless appreciated Putin's work and erected a monument to Putin the First in Prague (5). This brings to mind another proverbial saying: "No prophet is a prophet in his own country." There is hope that Russia will eventually erect a monument to its savior. By the way, Putin is from St. Petersburg, and in this regard, the monument to Putin the First looked good, almost reproachfully, against the monument to Peter the Great.
