The "Father of the Belarusian nation". Another mirage of the Belarusian public consciousness. A civilizational essay.
There is one more mirage of the Belarusian public consciousness (apart from the 'achievements of independent Belarus', 'Belarusian Switzerland' and others).
This is 'the father of the Belarusian nation'.
What are the characteristics of this "father"?
He is caring, honest, unselfish ...
He knows what the Belarusian people need ...
With numerous examples, he shows how bad it is for those who do not have a "father of the nation" ...
If he gets drunk and shows others his nakedness, then those who will look at this nakedness and will discuss what they saw, those will face unpleasant consequences ...
He is free in life and death, in freedom and lack of freedom of those who under his "upbringing" ...
Legality for such a 'father' is a relative concept, and the separation of powers is an empty phrase ...
If he punishes, then he tries to punish in moderation, without crossing a certain "border" ...
If necessary, he collects a kind of "Family Councils" ... A disobedient, self-willed participants in such "Family Councils" receive from the "father" a blow by spoon at the forehead or a good flogging, or a reprimand ...
The historical analogy to the mirage of the 'father of the Belarusian nation' is the 'father of peoples' ...
The "Father of peoples" is a good ideological product, but it is built on the basis and principles of Karamzin's "History". This ideological product tryes to hide from universal understanding, to make invisible the huge role of the technical (and other) intelligentsia of east-republican, velikolithuanian origin, the role and significance of Gleb Krzhizhanovsky and of the concept of economic and scientific and technological development of the USSR (Russia) developed by Gleb Krzhizhanovsky. On Sergei Korolev (and on his activities), the "father of nations" had a very contradictory influence, and without Marshal Alexander Vasilevsky (Minister of Defense) Sergei Korolev's achievements would be at all under question.
So, what is the problem, what are the prospects of the 'father of the Belarusian nation'?
The 'Father of the peoples' (in the USSR, in Russia), if he was necessary, then as a mechanism for activating the potential of Gleb Krzhizhanovsky, Sergei Korolev, Igor Kurchatov, Alexander Vasilevsky (for forced Europeanization -?) ...
There are no such people in the period of the 'father of the Belarusian nation' . (The forced Europeanization is needed in Belarus -?)
As for the typical Igor Sikorsky, he does not need the 'father of the Belarusian nation' at all. On the contrary, the typical Igor Sikorsky feels the need for the lack (absence) of the 'father of the Belarusian nation'.
Thus, the 'father of the Belarusian nation' has no historical perspectives ...
