About the book: 2022 / For centuries, Russia has looked to the West with admiration and envy, like a younger brother to an older brother in a Christian European family. But the Westernization of Russia each time turned out to be either a secondary “Europeanization” or the borrowing of dead-end ideas or a futile attempt to become “like them.” The reasons for the success and primacy of Western civilization remained unclear or unacceptable. Only recently the last “secret” of the eternal superiority of the West was perceived and, most importantly, internalized by Russia - political pluralism and freedom of private enterprise. The entire set of “tools”, thanks to which the West was ahead of the world for four hundred years, ended up in the hands of Russia. Now, for the first time, the path to heights of prosperity and power has opened for Russia. Geopolitical fault lines between civilizations are once again flaring into war. One fault is bleeding next to Russia, revealing the eternal discord between Russian and Western civilizations. To preserve our civilization we have to achieve the complete surrender of the enemy.
