About the book: year / The world is on the verge of radical changes. For intellectuals in many countries around the world, alarmism has ceased to be a conceptual format within which it is easy to be heard. Alarmism today is a language that describes reality. Humanity is approaching the “Rubicon time”, after passing through which it will find itself in the newest reality. There are only two formats for the transition to modern reality: the Third World War or the First Global Great Depression. Today we can state that the situation in the world is in many ways reminiscent of the last months before Gavrilo Princip shot the Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire Ferdinand and the months before the “Munich agreement” between Chamberlain and Hitler. Disputes between intellectuals in closed clubs are mainly focused on the desire to understand whether the country that pulls the “trigger” of the global crisis will gain a strategic advantage, or whether the one who started first will become a natural victim of future tragic events. The authors of this work believe that today it is realistic to launch Only a few states can create a global destructive crisis. These states include the State of Israel. For a number of reasons, it is easiest to start analyzing scenarios for the coming global crisis with the state of Israel. Israel is one of the formalized results of the Second World War, and the “creeping” revision of the results of this war will inevitably affect the State of Israel. Israel is a system-forming element of the global configuration of world power that emerged by the mid-twentieth century following the results of the Second World War. This system had practically become obsolete at the beginning of the 21st century. And it is difficult to imagine that in the new reality that will come after the “Rubicon time”, there will be a functional place for the state of Israel, as well as for many now seemingly prosperous states. The prehistory of the creation of the State of Israel in terms of volume of information exceeds the history of the State of Israel itself. According to the authors, it is impossible to understand the future of the State of Israel not so much without analyzing the history of the State of Israel as without analyzing the mutagenesis of the “Holocaust” symbol. The intellectual symbol “Holocaust” is one of the key symbols of our time. The “Holocaust” symbol reached its apogee in 2005 and is now in the “extinguishing” phase. The semantic content of the final phase of mutagenesis of the “Holocaust” symbol suggests that the State of Israel is also historically exhausted. This state no longer fulfills and is no longer capable of fulfilling the functions of a “geopolitical sentinel” assigned to it in the mid-twentieth century. Moreover, further positive mutagenesis of the “Holocaust” symbol is hampered not only by the position of the writer Elie Wiesel, with whose name the birth of the intellectual symbol “Holocaust” is strictly connected, but also by the existence of the state of Israel itself.
