Three words that protect the Ukrainian Idea

You can stay awake at night by connecting thoughts, words, events...

connecting cultures and worlds to suffer in a land that lies at the intersection of north-south and east-west paths is the most likely fate without a proactive, flexible and strong position. It should be essentially similar to a steel chain - intellectual, informational, mobile - destructive under "certain" circumstances, and if used skillfully - connecting and reinforcing.

Risk-free for one's own safety to be careless in neglecting these possibilities multiplied by necessity is an extraordinary luxury... But great ideas and possessions always go hand in hand with great risk.

National Idea of ​​Ukraine, is so non-obvious for "practical, pragmatic realists" that outside the "objectivity" of objective data it loses its supporters just as they disappear outside the framework of the "world of ideas"... And as is always arranged in life - a rejected stone becomes a cornerstone.

(As a rule, all foreign and partly "toxic ideas" poisoned by "good" intentions are drawn into this vacuum.)

"Glory to Ukraine!" - the parents left, in contrast, a formula obvious to patriots, which consists in deeds that are accessible and transparent, devoid of shame and worthless features of human nature.

What could be more ridiculous - to sell, for example, one's virginity, the Motherland, honor, conscience, one's own or someone else's life, even more childish, and flaunt it? The path to darkness is the path to nothingness.

And vice versa, glory won by loyalty, honesty, respect, courage, conscience, generosity, humanity - these are behavioral patterns (patterns) that ensure the survival of the human species even in the most severe trials.

Morality, as a treasury of these most ancient values, is the highest example of human nature. Openness of actions, accessibility and, forgive me, their transparency, as an indispensable prerequisite for glory, is a mandatory element of democracy and in our concrete and pragmatic case - part of the Universal National Ukrainian Idea.

All the more interesting it looks like the "monkeying" of our father's wisdom by Ukrainophobes, who replace in the formula their verbal constructions that are far from understanding the meaning, such as "Glory of Russia" or "Novorossiya". (The latter is generally the undisguised “culture of new Russians” from the early 90s, for whom vanity is a key identifier. The former is more like a klepto-copy from klepto-borrowings of foreign cultures, which they call “great power”.)

demanding opponents of fame for dubious actions are rapidly marching - like potato beetles freebies to the fire they provoked by testing their gums on "silent plants" - towards their so ardently cherished doom.

Because nothing does not repay a hundredfold, as the nature of the actions of the person himself. And this especially applies to the conditions of the modern information age - when events are accelerating every day more and more.

So, Glory of Ukraine, it is a historical example of human destiny, democracy and the foundation of peace.

"Glory to Heroes" - accordingly, the second part of the Ukrainian "mantra" is literal and clear: "value people because their nature is heroic and can only be reflected in other people, like a mirror into which we look every day."

Tomu we must believe in the Glory of Ukraine and its People, who have no other destiny than democracy - as a guarantee of independence; technological progress - as proof of courageous movement forward and the capital of human intelligence and spirituality, which ensures the Glory of the State and its Heroes.

Glory to Ukraine and its Heroes!
