Why the West hate Russia?



This article is a brief version of the Russian one.

 What is one of the great paradoxes of progress?  The West, the cultural, scientific and economical center of our world, it’s political and power leader, has a strange rudiment oedipus complex of hate and scorning for such ordinary and slave-minded country, as Russia.  
 If this gigantic empty snow-covered areas with bears, vodkas and balalaikas, which are inhabited poor and glum creatures, with some technical and mechanic skills, which caused definite space and nuclear success, why such inadequate reaction? What is the real difference between Russians and other amiable savages of Africa and many tropic islands?
 In other hand all human history did not have examples of meaningless sacral greed, as it showed western custom. Pharaohs and any tyrannies of Asia, China or antic Rome and Greece don’t have such desire to have different material assets. If in earlier times wealth means power and pleasure, in our time wealth means only possibility of it.
  So epicureans and sybarites of Antic world wished first of all for pleasant feeling, our contemporaries wished only for money, i.e. for nothing.
 In this refer you can read story about many rich mans, who in different way make their neighbors suffering and anguishing, not exclude themselves.  So if Croesus was rather an exception of antic tradition, now it is the common principle.
 How it is possible?
 Ere yet give the answer, let me remind the story about Tom Sawyer, who was not only troublemaker, but successful entrepreneur too. He was not contented ordinary boy jokes, but tricky cheated his friends, made their do his job for him and made their pay for this job. And as result he found treasures, his dreams come true. Very odd dream for a little boy, isn’t it?    
 Same things wrote many of classics of English literature. Jack London, O’Henry, Theodor Dreiser. At last Indians aphorism:     
 So, this greed began from remarkable times of geographic discoveries of New World, Indians and pirates. Before this romantic and legendary times took place dark and hopeless times of Middle Ages.       
  Let’s dig deeper. What is the reason of these terrible ages? The answer is simple. The wonderful belief in Jesus Christ was perverted to his antithesis.  Times of Jesuits, obscurants and inquisitors, horrible punishment of witches and scientists started when Catholic Church was born with institute of Pops and his main principle: “the end justifies the means” or “exitus acta probat”.
  If you want an omelet, you would crash the eggs.
So tiny perversion of Christ’s teaching led to such disgusting consequences. When even Protestantism and Puritanism looked reasonably good, in spite of essentially degraded meaning of God, which was replaced by new meaning of people dignities and goodness.   
  The next changes were soon. The God was become odd in new times. From Volter to Nietzsche the western world made long way to sentence: “The gods are died”.
 But idea of overman, i.e. physical and internal perfection, was not attractive. Who want to work, to learn and not too much to eat and to entertain?  A much more attractive become “American dream”, the possibilities only comforts and pleasure pastime without any moral liabilities.
  Thus, we have arrived to initial point. The goodness of Puritanism and Evangelism caused endless greed, as well as Catholicism caused obscurants of dark ages.    
 And this insatiable greed is the inexhaustible source of West hate to Russia. Because of it distortionless belief in Jesus Christ and immaterial and material stores.
