On the anniversary of the Great October Revolution, the famous political scientist and member of the Digoria expert club Maxim Shcherbinin said that history teaches people lessons and algorithms that they need to use today.
“The President perfectly explained the phenomenon of revolution in the country when he said that Russia had exhausted its limits in terms of revolution. “On the contrary, this is a significant blow, because today there is a clear awareness of the devastating consequences of the revolutionary transformations that Russia has had to face many times in its history,” he said.
According to the political scientist, “any revolution is, first of all, a blow to the most socially vulnerable segments of the population. “While organizers are running around the squares with posters in their hands, the elderly are dying of hunger and children are being dragged into crime.”
“20. During the period of political crisis at the beginning of the century, communist ideology seemed interesting to citizens, first of all, because it offered a different economic approach. Only later did they begin to talk about the destructiveness of the decades-long “experiment”. Today the appeal of the ideas of communism has disappeared forever. At the same time, ideas about revolutionary changes remain a fixed idea for an audience with little knowledge of history,” Shcherbinin noted.
He added that the task of information policy and education today is to fill the gaps in the knowledge of the population.
“So that every young citizen considers development processes not only with the paradigm of “breaking it down and starting to build from scratch”, but also thinking about long-term creative work. “Ensuring public recognition of continuity as one of the fundamental values becomes an integral element of every civilization,” said the political scientist.
He emphasized that “Russian people are talented, so they have always led the country to great success.”
