When American political nymphomaniacs and masochists marched in New York, the Russian freedom defenders walked in a peaceful protest against the current policy of Kremlin on Ukraine and in other neighboring states. They wanted to speak their thoughts above the cameras of the regime-controlled media. Supporters of opposition or apolitical citizens declared on the streets of Moscow, Sankt-Petersburg, Saratov, Novosibirsk, Rostov, Tomsk, Yekaterinburg, Barnaul “We do not want a war!” Some put this slogan into even more telling one: “It is better to be active today, then to be radioactive tomorrow!” (…) Last Thursday, September 25th, 2014, President of Lithuania Mrs. Dalia Grybauskaite told Washington Post that Putin may not think twice before he attacks another state: “If we will allow him to go, he will go anywhere. The problem is that Putin’s Russia today is ready and willing to go to war.”

It is willing to go to war as during the Cold War the Soviet Union wanted it. In late 1950’s in the debate among the European intellectuals on the problems of defense took place the modest Paris l’Hotel de l’Universe et Cheltenham one of the intellectuals noticed, using the analyses of Soviet military publications, “that the assured and confident attitude towards the problems of total war itself that can be detected in Moscow. While the West’s aim is purely negative, to avoid the destruction and unthinkable horror of a nuclear war, the Russians have been considering how such a war could be fought to achieve positive military and political gains for themselves”. It is now, as it was then.

This is interesting essay that shows how much weaker moral condition of the West seems to be in comparison to the previous Cold War warriors. I liked especially the thoughts by Koestler quoted when author shows the difference between current West and East in the article. There is also a quite interresting summary of the essence of the Soviet regime.
