New Russian Roulette

In the 1930s even some of the older and more intellectual Russians, including those who had seen a bit of the world in their youth, believed that the United States was the land of the Yellow Devil, meaning gold. It was said that when one American met another in the street, he greeted him as follows: “Make money?” To which the other replied, with Puritan candour: “Very much, thank you.” To those Americans, our grandfathers knew, nothing was sacred. Their tabernacles were to Moloch, their culture was as venal as their women, and needless to say their women were all sluts.

Like every extreme beloved of John Stuart Mill, this worldview was not to be dismissed out of hand. Its origins were only in part Soviet propaganda, designed to discredit the West, and the New World in particular, while leaving no doubt in anybody’s mind as to where the newest, bravest and best of all possible worlds was to be found. The other part, however, derived from traditional European scepticism with respect to various colonial upstarts, and had much to recommend itself, albeit with certain caveats. It may be noted, for instance, that it was precisely at the historical moment when genuine American culture had reached its apogee in Emily Dickinson, Poe, Thoreau, Emerson, and finally Mark Twain, that European scoffers were at their loudest in proclaiming America a nation of illiterate cowboys. Today, when the world is awash with Hollywood sewage and Manhattanite solipsism, Europe’s remaining snobs have gone strangely quiet.

The pouring of concrete and the laying of bricks for new fabulous seaside homes in the Crimea may slow a bit from the recession but it will not stop. There is a lot of wealth going into such places. Even steel mill towns have some beautiful private homes going up.

Unemployment, rising crime rates, and the political growth of area Mohammedans are the real problems in southern Russia and the Ukraine.

Eastern Europeans are dying out from their leaders’ social experiments. Mohammedans (in this case Caucasians, Central Asians, Tatars, etc.) are replacing Russians and Ukrainians, just as Mohammedans are replacing Western Europeans (with Pakistanis, Arabs, etc.), albeit usually to a lesser extent.

I think Navrozov is right when he suggests that we are going to get a WWIII from the same maniacs who have produced the New Russians (and who destroyed Eastern Europe).
