Archpriest Lorgus: Ukraine became a victim of the same myth that Russia in the 90's
In Ukraine there is the myth of " Eldorado European integration ", although a bit million Ukrainians live And work in the European Union, said in an interview Last news rector of the Institute of Christian psychology, Archpriest Andrei Lorgus (Russian Orthodox Church).
" The Western part of Ukraine, which in the Soviet Union was in 1939, he always considered himself Europe And, of course, to integrate treated positively, whatever It might cost him. And let the level of life of Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk region, Carpathians poorer Romania And Bulgaria, But They eventually Europe. So, They knew what they were doing. And integration would have been easier. Well, As for the Central Ukraine, then of course there is working a myth, " said Lorgus.
The roots of this myth, he says, go to our common with Ukraine of the Soviet past, when the isolationism of the USSR in every Soviet family - from Moscow to Magadan - lived view that if a person went abroad, most in America, he already rich. This myth about the fact that the Western way of life is so strong, strong And sweet, that, unless we want, And we will come " Golden age ", was worth the Russian heavy disappointment of the 90's, But is very stable, says the priest.
according to him, the Ukrainians, who have worked or are working in the European Union, know perfectly well how's about money, And well aware of their gains And losses from European integration. It is several million people in Italy, Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, England, well integrated in European rules.
" Here They And Their relatives, Their families, residing in Ukraine, were for integration simply because for them the condition of successful work in the European Union was free movement. They were only interested in This aspect of integration, And that is saying, on This And have configured both Europe And Ukraine ", - noticed the priest-psychologist.
according to Lorgus, myth from Eldorado works in respect to the peaceful social space. As a revolution or a War - state of panic, in which there are other mechanisms And other myths are born." War is the most important thing, insane, panic ", - noticed the interlocutor of Last news .
according to him, people who have passed through the murder of another man, it disappears very significant element of human identity - sensitivity to pain of other And to our own pain. They become capable of behavior that really threatens Their own life And especially the life of the other. And some citizens have no possibility to get out of this wealth." in the present case, such a person has to have a very intense And complex assistance to return it to human life, " said Lorgus.
But if people, he added, does not find sources of such assistance And it does not want, he becomes dependent on " military adrenaline ". And looking for it again And again. This is the " complex of Che Guevara ": if we do not destroy the mythological " enemies ", They will make us all slaves, we are obliged to remove Them, because They will destroy us." This is the work of a myth, " says the head of the Department.
Mythological fear, according to him, the real And extremely strong, And in order to give it up, required a huge rational And spiritual work is the work of education, work on oneself, the work of the identification data.
