Self threat for future.

RIA Novosti reports majority of Russians seem not to care what is going on in Syria. Less than half of those polled (44 percent) said they were following the events in the Middle Eastern country, and those were mainly elderly Russians. Eight percent of them said they follow the events closely and another 37 percent said they know about the situation in general.

But 52 percent, most of them young people, says they are not interested in the conflict.

This is the great danger. Russian youth is benumbed and transformated into a strange form this rate shows. The violance in the middle east is a wildfire is coming closer to Russia but they pay attention to Facebook, MP3 download, Tweeter, fashion etc. Recent formation for growing new generations is this. Fishes living in aquarium but not in oceans. Some very important virtual things but no matter the real world. They are generations has grown up in computer screens and can not leave there now. I am afraid it already happened 70’s science fiction nowels and movies about a life of not machines for poeple but people for machines. Russian youht as well as all the other nations under cultural attack of dominants is assimilated and incapable to comment and consider some important facts of real world. They are busy and engaged with some artificial and virtual event in their agenda. What are the latest hits in playlists, which Iphone applications new, who wrote what in tweeter, what is new in facebook, what favorite celebraties did, which shopping mall or night club is popular nowadays and which type of shoes or watches are trendy this year.



They are not geared enough about life and world, what s going on and why. You can not search and learn if you dont have an interest for something. And globally it s provided them what to interest and what to search. My 13 y.o. step daughter uses internet not less then me but to search and download cartoons, movies, songs and computer games. In the following years it can not be expected from her to change dramatically and to have any interest and knowledge for global problems and policies.



A perception about to be western or to do something in western style is more prestigious is raising in Russian society. It s considered as a plus or even as an obligation among young people. This is one of the greatest threats for Russia and also for all the other non western people. They find themselves in a race for who is the most western so he is the best. When they realize they are really appreciated more by each other by this way, western culture reqirements get stonger influence. And one with western culture is not so free in mind but just fixed and limited by sovereign rules of trend makers in mass media. That civilization requests humanoids to manage with one button on control panel. And it needs people with limited interests.



I can not stop my 2,5 y.o. daughter to watch some strange fantastic cartoons spending those  time with instead of real games in real life. Unfortunately the kids has grown up so consider like virtual ones in computer games when real persons die in real life unnecessarily. Somebody to be killed is normalized and usual for them by computer games. My generation could take some messages about moral and humanitarian values in fairy tales. Recent generation does not know Snegurochka is so decent, modest and innocent but they are being grown up with a dominant culture teachs them TO WIN ANYWAY AND SOMEHOW. No matter criterias, principals, justice but just to take maximum benefit while not to consider and care anybody else. They suffer from to discover the pleasure of to sit a riverside and watch the ducks. It seems to them boring. They can not be happy to see apple trees are blooming.

  1. There is a lot of true in your writing, but you must know that in the west situation is not much better.

    Western youths also care more about FB, Tweets and other social internet related links instead for Russia or anything else, if you do pools they even don't know to show where is Russia and most of them are not interested in Pentagon or politics or wars either. So it is similar in numbers, if in Russia there is no young people who care about events in Syria in USA is the same. It is not just driven by internet, internet or not most common people wont give attention about anything else until they have their own lives going. Only different thing is that there is pools now to measure that and few centuries there was not pools to measure it, if you understand me.

    I have read recently news about a girl that gets carried reading new messages on her Facebook leading her to drop from dock into sea water:)

    It is same all around world and always it was and it will be on minority of people to drive the world...

    Best regards
