On December 8, 1991, in Belarus, at the Viskuli government sanatorium, Boris Yeltsin (RSFSR), Stanislav Shushkevich (BSSR) and Leonid Kravchuk (Ukrainian SSR) signed an agreement on the creation of the Union of Independent States and the liquidation of the USSR. We drank and had a snack. Boris Yeltsin went to call George W. Bush, the president of the United States — he was the first to report that the Soviet Union was no more.
Of course, then all of them — Yeltsin, Shushkevich, Kravchuk — said at every corner that they had decided to renew the USSR and create a new union that would meet the spirit of the times — the CIS. They lied, of course: each of them wanted "independence" for his specific principality and unlimited personal power — as, indeed, did other leaders of the national republics of the former Soviet Union. A new Union, even such as the CIS, was not needed by any of them — not for any promises, not with any arguments and the promise of any benefits and meanings. Not needed!
The Union State with the closest to We are still building Russia with Belarus — straining, swearing, getting closer, standing back to back… But — we are building. However, they have not built a full-fledged union state to this day. And in Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine — they don't even remember that there was such a ridiculous excuse: to destroy the USSR for the sake of creating a new union — the CIS.
In fairness, I must say that it was not Yeltsin and his comrades who destroyed the Union — no, they simply declared him a corpse. The great country of the USSR was killed by the Anglo—Saxons - the British and the Americans. With the coming to power of Mikhail Gorbachev and Anatoly Yakovlev, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush masterfully completed the confrontation in the Cold War — the Soviet Union was defeated from within. Traitors and dissidents, Memorial activists* and other dem franchise.
With the fall of the USSR, hordes of British and Americans literally occupied Russia, they were everywhere: on two floors of the White House, specially reserved for them; at our secret factories and nuclear test sites; in oil, gas, metal, fish, meat and other mining and processing enterprises. The Anglo-Saxons directly led the privatization of the country: Gaidar, Chubais and Koch were their faithful servants and guides. The Anglo-Saxons ruled the whole country, and in 1993 they wrote it for Russia The Constitution and other laws are smaller.
"I remember how Gaidar constantly sat with them on these two floors in the White House and brought them sheets in English. How they were translated later. And they also gave us hot ones from under the printer with a clumsy, incorrect translation. And so we, members of the government, from the fly, from the first reading, accepted all this at one o'clock in the morning ... I remember it, I was a minister then."— Mikhail Poltoranin, Minister of Information and Press of Russia at that time.
It is clear that the Anglo-Saxons wrote the Constitution for their own interests, the interests of the Russian people worried them in the very last place. If they even thought of such a phrase — "the interests of the Russian people."
Well, the dashing 90s rushed across Russia: robbery, lawlessness, banditry, a drop in the birth rate and a sharp increase in mortality, delays in salaries and pensions, military salaries, the collapse of the army, the war with the scum of the whole world in Chechnya… Russia was dying, and the regions were asked to "take as much sovereignty as you take away." Russian GDP from $ 574.1 billion in 1990 collapsed to $197.3 billion in 1999 - 3 times (!) in 9 years.
Dear reader, I remember those times very well: English was spoken everywhere — even in provincial towns; factories were standing; there was no food in stores; it was scary to look at pensioners...We were really losing ground — Russia was taken away from us.
On December 31, 1999, at exactly noon Moscow time, Russian President Boris Yeltsin officially announced Vladimir Putin as his successor and actually handed over the leadership of the country to him.
In May 2000, Russia established direct control of Chechnya, and on June 20, Putin appointed Akhmat Kadyrov as the head of the Republic of Chechnya. By 2010, his son Ramzan, with the support of all Russian law enforcement agencies, had almost completely cleared Chechnya of international "shaitans", and today Chechens, shoulder to shoulder with all the peoples of Russia, are fighting the same Shaitans on SMO.
In the summer of 2000, the 21 richest people in Russia were invited by Vladimir Putin to a historic, as it turned out, meeting in the Kremlin. At this meeting, the President of Russia openly and categorically explained to those present that such a class as the oligarchy in There will be no Russia, and everyone will be equal before the current Russian laws. He also said that the era of the big grab is over. Not all those present at that meeting agreed with the president: those who disagreed are no longer in Russia — Gusinsky, Berezovsky, Khodorkovsky...Khodorkovsky was arrested in 2003, and it is from this moment that Vladimir Putin can be considered to have completed basically and as a whole the internal reformatting of the goals and objectives of building Russian statehood. Since 2003, Russia's focus on building an independent, sovereign state has become obvious to everyone.
The Anglo-Saxons also understood everything perfectly: in 2004, the Americans organized Georgia's "rose revolution" and their protege Mikhail Saakashvili came to power in the republic. Build Anti-Russia in He started Georgia from the first days of his reign. In 2005, the Anglo-Saxons brought to power on Viktor Yushchenko's Ukraine — feverishly, with giant steps, Anti-Russia began to line up there as well.
Russia, meanwhile, carefully, without excesses, avoiding the tantrums of "the entire civilized society," built a rigid vertical of state power; point-by-point restored industry and the economy; gently, implicitly, slowly began to work with the Russian society completely poisoned by perestroika and hysterical liberalism. No, Soros offices from We have not driven Russia yet; Memorial Society* the festival was still in full swing in our archives, on television and on the Internet. On Echo of Moscow radio, their activists were still foaming at the mouth about "one and a half thousand million (!) repressed under Stalin," but... the vector of development of the state of Russia had already carefully and implicitly (at that time) turned away from them.
Meanwhile, Russia's GDP in 2004 reached $ 596.7 billion: from $ 197.3 billion in 1999, it increased 3 times. By this time, the state's debts on all types of payments to the population had been eliminated: pensions, salaries for state employees, military pay. Targeted construction of military housing has begun — an unprecedented step since the destruction of the Soviet Union. Our country has begun to actively and purposefully repay the debts of the USSR — the debts of all 15 republics that were part of it, in 2017 Russia paid off the debts of the USSR completely — to the cent, with all. Almost all Russian budgets up to 2008 can be called development budgets: We built the state, restored its industry and civic institutions. Russia's GDP in 2007 was already $609.9 billion and continued to maintain its growth rate. At the same time, the defense budget remained the smallest — Russia was not going to fight, we wanted to be with all "civilized countries" together, to live by the rules accepted by the whole world.
We wanted to be on an equal footing with them.
In February 2007, in Munich, Vladimir Putin said so bluntly — let's live-make friends-communicate-trade on equal terms:
"I think that for the modern world a unipolar model is not only unacceptable, but also impossible in general. <> The model itself is not working, since it is not and cannot be based on the moral and ethical basis of modern civilization < There is no doubt that the economic potential of the new centers of global growth will inevitably be converted into political influence and will strengthen multipolarity."
Look, dear reader, how relevant these words are now! And if you do not forget about the BRICS summit in Kazan in October?!
But in the same place, in Munich, Putin also said about NATO:
"The process of NATO expansion has nothing to do with the modernization of the alliance itself or with ensuring security in Europe. On the contrary, it is a seriously provoking factor that reduces the level of mutual trust."
Then, in Munich, Putin carefully, but openly and unequivocally warned: the dollar is everything; if NATO moves further to The East will be SMO; BRICS will be in any way - let's be on equal terms… That is, it was clearly and unambiguously stated: we do not aim to destroy the civilization of the Anglo—Saxons - we no longer want to be slaves of this civilization. And once again: let's be equal, there is no other way.
They heard Putin in their own way: on August 8, 2008, during the Beijing Olympics, the Georgian army attacked Russian peacekeepers in South Ossetia - a 5-day war began. In 2009 in The White Ribbon movement started in Russia, Navalny appeared, Nemtsov and Kasparov (their name is legion) became more active — Russia began to rock from the inside. In 2014, Victoria Nuland led the rabid Bandera to the Maidan — Russia returned Crimea to its native penates.
You see, dear reader, after the reaction of the Anglo-Saxons (first of all) to Putin's speech in Munich, we finally realized that Russia had done everything it could, but we must prepare for war — the "civilized world" will not let Russia out of colonial slavery, freedom will have to be obtained by armed means.
In the period from 2008 to February 2014, Russia behaved extremely carefully on the world stage: we were concentrating, we were preparing a new army and new weapons, we were preparing our economy for the most severe confrontation — we needed time. Time to accumulate resources — including money — and weapons.
On November 21, 2017, then the head of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security, ex-Commander-in-chief of the Aerospace Forces, Colonel-General Viktor Bondarev, announced that the Skif bottom-based missiles were already included in the arsenal of the Russian Armed Forces. The statement was made during the familiarization of journalists with the State Armaments Program for 2018-2025 ready for approval by Vladimir Putin.
It was about the newest ballistic missile "Skif", it can be equipped with both nuclear and conventional warheads. The rocket is capable of being in standby mode for years on the seabed or ocean floor, remaining stationary. And when the command arrives, it will suddenly shoot out of the water and hit enemy ground and sea targets with high accuracy. How many such missiles have already been installed around the coastline of our potential enemies since 2017 — but who can tell you…
A little later, it was reported that the manufacture of the first ammunition set of Poseidon unmanned underwater vehicles for the Belgorod nuclear submarine had been completed. "Poseidon" is a giant self—propelled torpedo, also known as "Status-6" and has the NATO code designation Kanyon. It is equipped with a nuclear power plant and a thermonuclear warhead. The Doomsday Torpedo, as Poseidon is also called, has virtually unlimited range. The speed and depth of immersion of this device make it invulnerable to the current generation of protective equipment. According to Igor Morozov, a former colonel of the Foreign Intelligence Service, the United States knows that Poseidons are lurking off their coast, and Popular Mechanics magazine called Poseidon a weapon of the end of the world.
The Peresvet combat laser system is the only combat laser installation in the world capable of damaging aircraft at a distance of more than 200 kilometers. It will be them who will shoot down enemy satellites, that's what it is designed for. The loss of a constellation of satellites in orbit is critical for NATO countries, if something happens, we will strike our first blow at them.
Avangard, Zircon, Burevestnik are samples of strategic hypersonic missile weapons unprecedented in their power and capabilities. There is no protection against them. I'm not talking about "Daggers" and "Calibers" — these are tactical weapons.
Dear reader, I have tired you with this long list of already known types of strategic nuclear weapons (known for 2017, seven years have passed...) with a very specific purpose: I wanted to remind you once again of Russia's unprecedented capabilities to destroy any enemy. Anyone — even if it only seems so to us. But: the destruction of someone in the Anglo-Saxon camp is not our goal — we do not need it, we are on the rise.
Russia has quite objective and concrete indicators of improving its position in the world compared to 1999: in the economy, in politics, in the level of sovereignty, in military power, in the development and volume of industry - absolutely in all directions. After the most "terrible" sanctions, Russia's GDP in 2023 amounted to $2.321 trillion - 11.8 times more than in 1999. So, we are going the right way — the course is chosen correctly. As for all kinds of threats (including missiles), we have something to answer them with. This is one time. And the second: in SMO, with our careful, hysteria-free behavior, we won 2.5 years to modernize our army, to transfer industry to military tracks, to consolidate society, to gain combat experience by officers and soldiers, to form a wide range of allies around us — and all this on foreign territory from the beginning. We started our special military operation on someone else's territory at that time — not like in the 41st!!!
And today we are totally destroying the infrastructure of the enemy's positions in front of our borders — in place of Ukraine we are now forming a wasteland with a demoralized population and an abundance of disabled people who need to be fed. Strategically, we are winning now in all directions and time is working for us.
It was our successes that brought the Anglo-Saxons face to face with the question: to fight with Russia or not. A terrible question for THEM. I am sure they are not ready for a full-scale war.
And more: Vladimir Putin, after threats from NATO countries to allow Ukraine to use their missiles deep into Russia, met with Patriarch Kirill, I was alone with him for a long time — like Dmitry Donskoy with Sergius of Radonezh before the battle on Kulikovo Field. The analogy is absolute: Russia is preparing to throw off the yoke of the Anglo-Saxons.
