People without a projects of a future. A historical treatise.
With some hesitation, I dare to assert that Emperor Alexander the First had a project of a future. Let us leave aside the question of whether this project was realized.
If the Decembrists could to come to power, they would be winners, and Nikolai the First and his entourage would be losers. The Decembrists had projects of a future ...
But Nicholas the First won. With him, perhaps, began the historical era of the lack of a projects of a future.
This era lasted from about 1825 to 1923-1931. Then - from the mid 50s of the 20th century ...
Many segments of the population were disappointed by the lack of effective forward movement.
Irritation turned against the Romanov dynasty.
At the same time, by coincidence, the monarchy and the Romanov dynasty began to be regarded as something identical.
As a result, both the monarchy and the Romanov dynasty are gone.
At some point, it turned out that not many people thought about a future. Not so many people were ready for the changes. For example, generals Krymov and Kaledin committed suicide without seeing any prospects ...
According to some memoirs, Kolchak was characterized by fatalism.
Denikin humbly postponed the solution of questions of the future until the victory over the Bolsheviks.
If the monarchy was able to save a power in February 1917, the rebels would be declared rebels and would be held accountable. And it would not surprise anyone.
(But when trouble came to them in 1937, it seemed surprising. After all, they were among the winners. How so?)

Somehow a situation kept afloat ....
After Lenin, people came who were able (1) to plan a movement into a future and (2) to carry out such a movement.
Around the mid-50s of the 20th century, a new quasi-project began to appear. The running around and across Asias - Africas began, also a support toward all sorts of heroic peoples ... Soviet people rejoiced at the success of the "third world" and counted a kopeks from paycheck to paycheck ...
Sometimes a thought comes: maybe all this 'help' was an elegant way to withdraw money abroad to improve a well-being, to support themselves with a means? But push that thought away from yourself!! It can't be!
Everyone was tired of all this, and a one quasi-project of the future was replaced in 1991 by another quasi-project ...
Dear marshals (the heroic privates, sergeants, officers of the Great Patriotic War), no matter how sad this sounds, showed the absence of any effective and attractive projects of the future ....
Thanks for a heroism on a battlefield. As for the lack of effective projects of a future, a historical traditions there were a such ...
