WHERE DOES THAT COME FROM…

     We used to think that leaders educate their people. And few people think about the fact that the masses are able to educate their leaders.  This is the case with the letter of the Ural worker Vladimir Isakov to the President of Russia, published in the regional trade Union newspaper "Working word" No. 5 for 1992.

     V. Isakov was able to contain many important thoughts in his message.  One of them is the idea that Boris Yeltsin at the helm of Russia was surrounded by a whole crowd of settled "troechnikov" who, on the one hand, resolutely refused the" Communist " political economy of Karl Marx, and on the other hand did not reach the "bourgeois" political economy of Adam Smith and David Riccardo.  Therefore, they are all characterized by a purely religious (or rather "superstitious"!) attitude to prices: unlike the worker, the settled troechnik does not realize that prices exist not so much to raise them as to constantly reduce them... a Thing that is quite understandable to Marx, A. Smith, I. Stalin, or any serious Western economist.

     But where do they come from – these academics, candidates and doctors of science, whose incompetence directly affects our stomachs today?  Let's take a closer look at whether the answer is at hand.

     ...After moving to Moscow in 1986, Boris Yeltsin left a well-tailored party-ideological system in Sverdlovsk, as well as throughout the country, which carried out the function of an ideological commander-in-chief over the brains of hundreds of thousands of Sverdlovsk citizens.  Who are its main characters?  First, it is an unscrupulous party worker, and, secondly, it is an illiterate University social scientist.  Their main ideological " virtues "were two precepts:"Socialism must be anti – national, and Marxism must be anti-labor."  In the language of science, this is called the ideology of the "cult of the personality of the nearest boss".

     When the party started an honest apparatchik, the Professor and associate Professor hurried to help the unscrupulous party worker.  And Vice versa: if the Department of social Sciences started a professionally competent scientist who put the cult of scientific Truth above the cult of his superiors, then the corresponding party worker hurried to the aid of an illiterate Professor and associate Professor.  So they lived... and all together it was officially called "completing the departments of social Sciences".  And this action took place in the Middle Urals every year.

     For purposes far removed from science itself, the wheels of this ideological machine worked properly.  For example, in Sverdlovsk, these wheels turned like this: the administration of the faculty of philosophy of USU "completed" the party Committee of the University.  The USU party Committee "completed" the ideological departments of the city Committee and the regional Committee of the CPSU with its personnel.  And those, in turn, regulated intra-University "democracy".

     Some years ago, when a University scientist Yuri Andreev raised his indignant voice against the fact that the postgraduate studies of the faculty of philosophy became a "feeder" for his administration and the children of the local party nomenclature, which inevitably led to the imposition of the cult of personality superiors (in a scientific way, to the "bad metaphysics") and overproduction of functionally illiterate "ostepenennyh" frames, the Sverdlovsk city Committee of the Communist party in the person of S. Starodubtseva has formed a Commission scientist sewed the label "nationalist."  The reasons are as follows: who turned social science into a feeder is an internationalist, and who categorically disagrees with this is a nationalist... Paradoxically, but a fact!  Even earlier, the same place was dealt with the scientist V. Bakshutov-a student of the great Russian philosopher A. Losev.  For what?  Yes, for... "political immaturity"!

     Who is attentive, that could notice: as soon as in Sverdlovsk there were facts of working or Patriotic movement of citizens, for their discredit and suppression the ideological management of the city Committee of the CPSU right there found suitable "shots" trained on political cheating of honest people.  Where exactly?   Yes, in the same place, from the graduate school of USU.

     Despite the restructuring and change of scenery in the ideology, the "machine" for their production is still working. Dozens of egregiously incompetent doctors and candidates of philosophy enter the big life from the sensitive fatherly hands of the Chairman of the Academic Council, Professor K. Lyubutin-the recent and long-term Dean of the faculty of philosophy, the mentor of the entire local "party" ideology.  Judging by his current writings, the former party cult of the "red authorities" left USU, but the usual cult of an unprincipled Professor at the faculty remained…

     So, what is the moral?  the reader will ask.  - What, Yeltsin, then, is to blame for this?

     Far from it, the moral is not so.  After all, at the very time when the party-academic administration was repressing scientists for scientific Marxism in philosophy and political economy, Boris Yeltsin, for his part, strongly supported many working initiatives, as V. Isakov rightly writes.  To the author's examples, we could add strong support for Seversky initiative, which Yeltsin managed to defend in 1985 in spite of "scientific" and "legal" attacks from Moscow.  The conclusion, then, is this: if the wave of settled troechnikov could not overwhelm him in the Urals, where alone he was able to resist it, relying on the right political instinct, then in Moscow, gaining the power of inertia, this "scientific dregs" rules the ball, forcing them to reckon with themselves, no matter what.

     The author of an Open letter to the President of Russia is an optimist.  He believes that for the working class of the Urals, this "wave" is not terrible, if The President wants to rely on the wise political economy of the working contract... from the point of view of science, this is quite true.  But, it is difficult to judge whether he wants to?

     However, we'll wait and see.

   VALERY MOLCHANOV, candidate of philosophy, (Summer 1992)
