There is no civilization representing more qualified structural absorption of past cultural sedimentations then the one of Russian legacy. Her history is a masterpiece of what we could call the clement acceptance of time viewed as the walking history on the eternal stage. Deep in the Russian soul, which stays for the entire Slavic intimate basement, exists a carried-over passivity or ultimate self-denial when it comes to pretentious moral judgments about the “ever-lasting” human crimes. Slavic moral accounting is basically on the passive side of liability to the time itself. This bookkeeping shares the overall moral load to all of us and extinct all individuals from any relevance, being our ultimate brotherhood. No culture, civilization or institutional religion ever surpassed Russian political experience! They all ended in the pretending misery of having “everlasting” right to judge. So when we see that the 89-age – speaking herewith as the unit of time - ends at court – then we take it as the attacking vector of a sick culture or simply an attack of the inferior cultural abortion incapable to face the power of life.
