Izinto AmaRussia Angazifundisa AmaMelika

NguDavid Swanson

Ngicabanga ukuthi uhlu lude futhi luhlanganisa ukudansa, amahlaya, ukucula i-karaoke, ukuphuza i-vodka, isakhiwo sesikhumbuzo, i-diplomacy, ukubhala amanoveli, nezinkulungwane zeminye imikhakha yemizamo yabantu, kweminye yayo amaMelika angafundisa namaRussia. Kodwa okungihlaba umxhwele njengamanje eRussia yikhono lokuzicabangela ngokwethembeka kwezombusazwe, njengoba litholakala eJalimane, eJapane, nakwezinye izizwe eziningi ngezinga elikhulu futhi. Ngicabanga ukuthi impilo yepolitiki engahloliwe ayifanele ukusimamiswa, kodwa yikho konke esinakho ekhaya emazweni angahlangene kangako.

Lapha, njengesivakashi eMoscow, akubona abangani kanye nabantu abangahleliwe kuphela abazokhomba okuhle nokubi, kodwa abaqondisi bezokuvakasha abaqashiwe bazokwenza okufanayo.

“Lapha kwesokunxele yiphalamende lapho benza khona yonke leyo mithetho. Asivumelani nabaningi babo, uyazi.”

“Lapha kwesokudla sakho yilapho bakha khona udonga lwethusi olungamamitha angu-30 lwezisulu zokuhlanzwa kukaStalin.”

I-Moscow inomnyuziyamu ozinikele kuphela emlandweni wama-gulags.

Umqondisi wezokuvakasha ethunzini le-Kremlin ukhomba indawo lapho kwabulawa khona owayephikisana no-Vladimir Putin wezombusazwe, futhi uyaqhubeka nokukhala ngokubambezeleka nokwehluleka kohlelo lwezobulungiswa ekulandeleni icala.

Uma utshelwa nge-mausoleum kaLenin kungenzeka ukuthi ungamethuli kuwe njengesigebengu. U-Yeltsin kungenzeka achazwe njengomfana owayefiphele kakhulu ukuthola indlela engcono yokuya ephalamende kunokudubula kulo.

Izingosi eziningi “ziyakhazimula.” Abanye bathola izichasiso ezahlukene. "Izakhiwo ezesabekayo ezingakwesobunxele sakho zakhiwa ngesikhathi ...."

Kungenzeka ukuthi ubude nokuhlukahluka komlando lapha kuyasiza. UJesu ugqolozela ngaphesheya kwesikwele ethuneni likaLenin. Izakhiwo zaseSoviet zithandwa futhi zizondwa, njengomlando wamaSoviet. Ngaphesheya komgwaqo ukusuka ehhotela lethu, kusele ipaki elikhulu embukisweni wezimpumelelo zezomnotho owasungulwa ngeminyaka yawo-1930. Kusadala ukuziqhenya nethemba.

Emuva eWashington, DC, iNative American Museum kanye ne-African American Museum bajoyine umbukiso ongapheli wezikhumbuzo zempi kanye nemnyuziyamu mayelana nokuqothulwa kohlanga eJalimane - okwenziwa amaNazi emakamu, hhayi ngamabhomu ase-US asabeka ingozi kulokhu. usuku. Kepha awukho umnyuziyamu wobugqila, awukho umnyuziyamu wokuqothulwa kohlanga eNyakatho Melika, awukho umnyuziyamu weMcCarthyism, awekho amacala omnyuziyamu we-CIA, awekho umnyuziyamu olandisa ngezinto ezesabekayo ezenzeke eVietnam noma e-Iraq noma ePhilippines. Kunemnyuziyamu yezindaba egxeka izindaba ezivela noma yikuphi ngaphandle kwezinkampani zezindaba zase-US. Ngisho nesiphakamiso sokufaka ukuphawula okuncane okusekelwe eqinisweni eceleni kombukiso wendiza ewise amabhomu enuzi emadolobheni kwadala isiphithiphithi.

Ungalubona ngeso lengqondo ukuvakasha kwebhasi eWashington DC kunomhlahlandlela ophawula ngomshini womsindo: “Ngakwesobunxele sakho kunezikhumbuzo ezikhazimulisa ukubhujiswa kweKorea neVietnam, namathempeli amakhulu nezimpawu zesitho sangasese sabanikazi bezigqila ngemuva, futhi phezulu kwalokho. Street kunesikhumbuzo esincane esithembisa ukuthi ngeke siphinde sivalele amaJapane aseMelika, kodwa ikakhulukazi sincoma impi. Isitobhi sethu esilandelayo yi-Watergate; ubani ongaqamba iqembu lamaqola abanjwe lapho ecekela phansi lokhu okubizwa ngentando yeningi?”

Cishe awucabangeki.

Uma thina bantu baseMelika sizwa abantu baseRussia besitshela ukuthi uTrump ulungile ukuxosha noma ngubani ngenxa yokungathembeki, sithola imibono enjalo ihlehlisiwe futhi ingaphucuzekile (njengoba uTrump eyimemezela ngokuziqhenya emhlabeni). Cha, cha, sicabanga ukuthi akufanele kube nokulandela imiyalo engekho emthethweni noma imiyalo ephikiswa abantu. Izifungo zifungiswa kuMthethosisekelo, hhayi isigungu esiphezulu esithweswe icala lokuqhuba imithetho kaKhongolose. Yebo siphila ezweni lamaphupho elitholakala kuphela ezincwadini zesikole samabanga aphansi kanye neziqondiso zokuvakasha. Kodwa futhi siyakuphika ukuqashelwa kwesidingo esibekwe ngokuqinile sokwethembeka e-United States, ifulege layo, izimpi zayo, kanye nezinganekwane zayo eziyisisekelo.

Bangaki abantu ababulawa uStalin? UmRashiya angakutshela impendulo, ngisho noma kuwububanzi.

Bangaki abantu amasosha ase-US abulale abantu ezimpini zakamuva? Iningi labantu baseMelika likhishwe ngama-oda wobukhulu. Akukhona lokho kuphela, kodwa iningi labantu baseMelika lizizwa liziphatha kabi ngokuvumela umbuzo ukuthi ungene ebuchosheni babo nhlobo.

Ekugcineni, bobabili abaseRussia nabaseMelika bavumela uthando lwezwe labo ukuba bubuse. Kodwa iqembu elilodwa lenza kanjalo ngendlela eyinkimbinkimbi futhi enolwazi. Kokubili, yiqiniso, kulahlekile ngokuphelele futhi kuyinhlekelele.

Lawa mazwe womabili angabaholi ekusebenzelaneni nezwe ngezikhali, okunemiphumela enyantisa igazi enyantisayo. Bangabaholi ekwakhiweni nasekubanjweni kwezikhali zenuzi, kanye nasekwandeni kobuchwepheshe benuzi. Bangabakhiqizi abakhulu bamafutha ezinto ezimbiwa phansi. IMoscow isiluleme ekucekeleni phansi komnotho i-United States eyasiza ekuyibangeleni ngawo-1990, kodwa ikwenze ngokwengxenye ngokuthengisa uwoyela, igesi, nezikhali.

Vele, i-US ihola indlela ekusetshenzisweni kwayo kwezempi kanye nokusetshenziswa kwayo kwamafutha ezinsalela. Kodwa esikudingayo e-US naseRussia ubuholi obumayelana nokuncishiswa kwezikhali kanye nokudlulela kwezomnotho esimeme. Akukho hulumeni wezwe obonakala unesithakazelo kakhulu kulokhu kwakamuva. Futhi uhulumeni waseRussia kuphela obonakala evulekele ukuhoxiswa kwezikhali. Lesi simo asisimami. Uma amabhomu engasibulali, ukucekelwa phansi kwemvelo kuyokwenzeka.

Ama-Muscovites abiza le nyanga yamanje ngokuthi "Maynovember" futhi aphakamisa izingubo zokubhukuda zoboya. Zijwayele ukufudumala ngoMeyi, hhayi amakhaza neqhwa. Umuntu uthemba ukuthi bayakwazi ukugcina umuzwa wabo wokuhlekisa kuze kube sekugcineni.
