Or an example of other stamp is words of Kagarlitskogo about an empire which, morally, according to his opinion, there was the USSR. That he in this case understands under an empire? What sense inlays in this concept? Stands after him though something except for the general places of the western left anticommunism, not glittering theoretical estimations and substituting an analysis similar appearances? The unique more or less serious attempt of theoretical ground of nature of soviet imperialism were works of the Chinese and western maoists, devoted the theme or in regard to the Third worlds and countries of socialistic block. But they, in any event, tried to bind him to the estimations of class nature of the USSR, which at Kagarlitskogo actually are not present (not to consider by them the fragment quoted higher about «declassed society»), that tried to adhere to the scopes of marxist approach, rather than just to strike imaginations of readers ringings metaphors. And from these works after criticism of the American sociologist Alberta Shimanski, the studying thoroughly a role USSR in world economy and his political and economic engaged in the matters of the Second and Third worlds, in fact, nothing remained.

Finally, total nihilizm of Kagarlitskogo surprises in regard to this page of history. Thus amusing to look after the sincere confidence of author, that his nihilizm was divided by all people:

«.После deaths of Stalin the old words of soviet hymn were anniented and during some time there was one only music. Then all the same guessed to replace words “party of Lenin, party of Stalin” on words “party of Lenin, force folk”. But to say in sooth, all of it had no value, because from all hymn people remembered only the first verses about “Union inviolable”» (p. 152).

Obviously, that similar virus of nihilizm in attitude toward Motherland as to «this country», inherent our left petty bourgeois as social type, very instrumental in his integration in camp. Where Kagarlitskiy, actually, and is.

If beginning of book presented certain interest even from point of world view position of author, about the second halves of it to say it is impossible in any way – than nearer to contemporaneity, the less than for the similar authors of right on an own world view and the more duties are on direct ordering fulfillment.

Here and numberless odes to the government of Primakova, in which the present colleagues of Kagarlitskogo worked on IPROG in the person of «economist» Mikhail Delyagina, political «scientist» Anton Surikova and «journalist» Anatolia Baranova (in general, the representatives of this band are quoted in a book very abundantly, here causes for quotations usually are so ridiculous, that ignorant reader and will not understand, to what here in general these people).

Certainly, did not treat and without traditional for this left descriptions of war in Chechne as colonial operation of Russian imperialism. In support of the words of Kagarlitskiy constantly quotes the acknowledged authorities of type of Politkovskoy or Piontkovskogo (Words were constantly remembered in such cases to me «texts of Piontkovskogo in general read nobody and not taken seriously (I met nobody which would read Piontkovskogo). Piontkovskogo print in “Novoy” because these texts by Americans (does not know, by an embassy, Gosdepom, CIA, and this is important not) – it is known all, therefore nobody him and does not read: why? – beforehand clear, that he will glorify the USA and justify actions those, who pays. It as advertising (advertising nobody reads also)». Taras made a mistake: the texts propaid Americans very need some left authors). Model and that describing beginning of the second campaigns, Kagarlitskiy «forgot» suddenly present «inferior» Anton Surikova, which he at one time and opened.
