On April 25, 2024, Lu Kewen, the Chinese self-media Internet celebrity, published the full text of his interview with Roman, the first secretary of the Russian Communist Party in St. Petersburg, in Russia on April 16.
Among them, when Lukevin asked "why does Putin not like Lenin", Roman replied:
He said that "the Soviet Union is a country that can only produce rain boots," and the Russian Communist Party does not agree with this, and he did not read the wrong information, because you must know that 30 percent of the world's airplanes were made by the Soviet Union at that time.
When Lu Kevin asked: "China has changed a lot now, how does the Russian Communist Party view China today?"
Roman said: "China has made great achievements, and many of the Russian government are now liberal and Western-leaning, and we advocate looking at China more, taking China as an example, and learning more from China and making more changes."
Roman added: "Young people [in Russia] are liberal now. ”
……
Why did the author specifically intercept these two points in the interview and focus on them separately?
First, as a powerful leader who has been in power for a long time in Russia, it is very likely that he will remain in power until the old President Putin, and the influence of his ideology on Sino-Russian relations is obviously extremely far-reaching.
However, Roman himself, the first secretary of the Communist Party of Russia in St. Petersburg, admitted that "Putin has some prejudice against Lenin and also against the entire Soviet Union", and the profound meaning of this is obviously self-evident.
Putin's attitude towards Lenin, the founder of the first socialist state, is obviously very different from that of China.
For example, in China's evaluation and conclusion of great men, several party "resolutions" serve as objective and rational evaluations of the highest officials, which not only realistically admit the mistakes made by great men, but also highly affirm and appraise the great achievements of great men, and this is obviously the fundamental basis for the ideology of New China and the legitimacy of the ruling party.
Today's Russia, which was born out of the former Soviet Union, has obviously moved away from the Leninist ideology of the past from top to bottom, and the Russian Communist Party currently has only 160,000 members, and its influence in Russia has long been different from that of the past.
The attitude of the current Russian leaders, who have been in power and will continue to be in power, towards Lenin is the best reflection of the ideology engraved in his bones - in fact, Russia's own traditional thinking has always considered itself to be more of a "European country", especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia has clearly tended to follow the West from top to bottom.
This can be vividly demonstrated by Putin's own admission that he had proposed to US President Clinton that Russia join NATO and seek US support for this, but the Clinton administration rejected it as soon as it was refused.
Second, from the mouth of Roman, the first secretary of the Russian Communist Party in St. Petersburg, he said that "many of the Russian government are now liberals and leaning towards the West" and "now (Russian) young people are liberals" -- this is very credible, and it is also more worthy of deep thought by our Chinese "goose fans and emperor fans".
This also fully shows that from the Russian government and its top leaders, down to the ordinary people, especially the young Russians who represent the future, they are basically biased towards Western liberalism, which obviously occupies an absolute ideological position in today's Russia!
In the face of this deep-seated ideological reality in Russia, in fact, it is very worthy of the unanimous attention of all levels in China -- especially for those who sing "goose goose goose" every day, they can't just "sing to the sky" and blindly worship and blindly obey Russia!
For example, Sima Nan, who was "born in China, lives in the United States, and has his heart toward Russia", once threatened his compatriots with such inward-looking murderous words when he was connected with a well-known Russian media person: "Whoever dares to influence Sino-Russian relations will be killed!" -- but don't you know that people in Russia today are basically fans of Western ideology!
Therefore, for our huge northern neighbor, whether it is the relationship between the same socialist countries in the past, or the "new honeymoon period between China and Russia" that many people think of as "the new honeymoon period between China and Russia", in fact, we should not start with a plate of ecstasy incense, and first confuse ourselves.
Out of consideration of mutual use, China and Russia have cooperation and "friendship", perhaps in the slogan, you can say "no limit", but the interests will always have a bottom line!
Because, friendship will have a shelf life, and eternal interests will not "deteriorate", —— "there are no eternal friends or enemies, only eternal interests", which is the best summary of this thinking!
At the same time, although the real world is extremely complex, and the historical longitude and latitude are also criss-crossed, it is easy to become charming and charming, but in the world of a community with a shared future for mankind, there must be consensus and justice with the greatest common divisor -- for example, what is aggression and who is invading?...... These profound understandings that must stand on the basis of conscience will also strike at the heart of every Chinese!
In the face of sanctions imposed by most countries, there are only a few people who secretly help Russia, and the Chinese people have different views on it, which is also a reflection of social pluralism and relaxation.
However, the most important viewpoint should obviously include these two major points: First, what are China's fundamental and long-term national interests? And what means and methods will be used to properly safeguard them? Second, where is the justice in the world and where is the justice in the world?—— no matter what position they hold, the people of the country must ask themselves and give the answer of self-analysis of their conscience!
As a Chinese "pro-goose faction", although he only has a secondary school degree, he can be regarded as a class breakthrough in the "traffic patriotic performing arts circle", and he has reached a very high ceiling - this time, he can go to Russia to interview the leaders of the Russian Communist Party, which is a big proof.
However, in this interview with Lu Kewen, the reality of his "Western liberal" ideology about Putin and Russia is unexpectedly and realistically presented, which also makes a large number of "goose supporters" in China need to reflect on this.
Perhaps, as an "enemy of the enemy," it may be a friend for a while, but in the face of eternal interests, it may also become an enemy for another time -- the "Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea" that was set off by the hands of China and the Soviet Union in those years; and the Sino-US alliance after the turn of the road has become an important external driving force for the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
In the face of China's national interests, especially the ideological aspect of the foundation of the legitimacy of its governance, which is most important, there is obviously a very serious difference between it and the absolute mainstream of Russia's current ideology - if our netizens turn a blind eye to this, they will not only be slapped in the face in the future, but more likely, they will be pitted into the stinky ditch and regret it later!
Everything will become a thing of the past - one day, no matter what the outcome will be, but the Russian-Ukrainian war will eventually cease to stop, even if the president can be the old Putin, there will be a day when he will leave the throne, but a country's ideology cannot be easily changed and reversed.
The ancients said: "People have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries." When many Chinese "goose fans" are now chanting "goose goose goose" gently and clearly, should the neck of your "song to the sky" be straightened up a little more - more independent, profound and future-oriented thinking?
