Introduction:
Every period, every civilization, every country, has its own national conditions. In such a situation, one carelessness may turn a beautiful dream into a nightmare, or even cause a catastrophe. Russia's attempt to "return to the family of compatriots in the Western world" has suffered huge setbacks and taught us a heavy lesson. From Putin's path of "total westernization" and "return of the king," we can have a clearer understanding of the choices and consequences of each era. In the face of national peril, the upper echelons often look for historical enlightenment, carry out reforms, and explore new paths. Reflection on the exchange and conflict of various cultures may give us more profound enlightenment.
Putin and two ways.
Putin took two very different lines during his tenure: complete Westernization and the return of the king. "Comprehensive Westernization" was the consistent policy of "pro-Western" during the Yeltsin period, which sought to integrate with Western culture. However, due to the neglect and difficulties of Western countries, this road has been very difficult. The second is the "return of the king", that is, Putin is trying to reshape Russia's strength and status, hoping to regain the glory of Tsarist Russia through the integration of "Russia, Belarus and Ukraine". However, it is doubtful that this path will work.
We still have to think carefully about these two routes and Putin's choice. The so-called "comprehensive" refers to an attempt to achieve the goal of national rejuvenation through "Westernization" on the basis of "desire" and "learning." However, because Russia's political system, cultural traditions, and main interests are often fundamentally different from Russia's, people's recognition and acceptance of Western culture is also limited. The "Wang's Return to the Mountains" is an attempt to rebuild Russia according to the country's history and geographical environment. But in the face of global resistance and doubts, the road to reform has not been smooth.
Peter the Great's way of governing the country.
Peter the Great was the greatest monarch of Russia, and with his ambition and wisdom, he brought new life and strong vitality to Tsarist Russia. While learning from Western Europe, Peter the Great vigorously promoted the revival of the ideology and the transformation of modern society, so that Russia gradually became stronger. Peter the Great implemented a policy of centralization and unity, and worked hard to build a strong state. Judging from the governance practice of Peter the Great, external expansion and development of its own power are the fundamental reasons for the rise of Tsarist Russia in Europe.
However, the understanding of Peter the Great's way of ruling is thought-provoking. During the Yeltsin period, while promoting "comprehensive Westernization", he drew on the lessons of Peter the Great, but he was faced with the actual situation of two different countries, and thus fell into the dilemma of "innovation" and "opening up to the outside world". During the Putin period, Russia also encountered many difficulties and obstacles in its desire to regain its life as a "king" and reunify the world. Peter the Great's ruling thought has its own historical lessons as well as its own unique wisdom and enlightenment, and how it should continue to develop under the background of the new era needs to be further explored.
The choice of national conditions and paths.
Russia's historic choice of current and future development underscores the significance of the country and time. Russia has experienced the borrowing and integration of Western culture in various eras, and has also experienced the impact and impact of Chinese and Western cultures. During the Putin period, Russia's desire to regain its strength and independence became stronger, but at the same time, it was also tested by both the world situation and internal conflicts.
Reflecting on Russia's journey and current choices is of great significance for us. In the face of all kinds of difficulties, every country and nation must find a correct path of development according to its own actual conditions, and policymakers must keep in mind past experiences, enhance their national consciousness and cultural identity, and meet external pressures and challenges with a prudent attitude.
The conclusion: Russia is faced with the choice of "complete Westernization" and "return of the king", the choices it faces and the problems it faces. Judging from the historical roots and practical predicament of these two paths shown by Putin, we can see the functions and effects played by China's national conditions in various periods. The experience of Peter the Great in Russia has taught us that countries should carefully choose their own development paths, taking into account external conditions and domestic forces. In an era of globalization and nationalism, countries must have a clear understanding of the situation and adhere to their own independent development path in order to ensure their long-term stability and prosperity.
