State instinct

Not Oblomovs, but Dezhnevs, not Plyushkins, but Minins, not Kolupaevs, but Strogonovs, not “nonresistance to evil”, but Suvorovs, not “the anarchic inclinations of the Russian people”, but its deepest and widest state instinct in the whole history of mankind ”.
It should be noted that the state instinct of which Solonevich speaks often comes into conflict with the instinct of nationalism.

We know enough examples when state interests dominate over the interests of the state-forming nation. In Soviet international Russia, the Russian people had the lowest standard of living, and in a “democratic” Russia their standard of living became even lower.

And it was directly dependent on the degree of internationalization of the authorities, on the degree of washing out of Russians from the administrative apparatus of the state. In the 30s, investments in the republics of Central Asia and the Caucasus were 5-6 times more than in the Slavic republics. In addition, many non-Slavic republics and autonomies were exempted from taxes. Fully or partially.

Even in 1945, in Belarus, agricultural workers were several times higher than in Georgia.
But how were the subsidies distributed from the republican budget of the Russian Federation in 1993?
Before the October 1917 coup, the Islamic population of tsarist Russia was 10–20%, and on the eve of the collapse of the USSR — 50%.

Now in dying out of Russia, population growth is recorded only in the republics: Dagestan, Ingushetia, Kalmykia, Tuva, Altai, Sakha (Yakutia), Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia. At the same time, people in Novgorod, Ivanovo, Pskov, Ryazan, Tver, Tula and Yaroslavl regions are dying at an alarming rate.

Here you have the price of "state instinct." And if there was at least some gratitude to the Russian people for their internationalism, for their devotion to the “interests of the state”! Instead of gratitude, we received "from the brothers of the smaller ones" a flash of wild Russophobia.

In response, Russian nationalism was bound to emerge as a reaction to flagrant injustice. And God forbid that he become the keeper of the interests of the Russian people. Reflecting on the problem of the internationalization of Russia, the Russian general, M. D. Skobelev, said: “Put it once and for all on its banner:“ Russia is for the Russians ”and raise this banner high”.
