Transcription
Ideology and criticism
Maxim Kalashnikov is a Russian nationalistic agitator. As an expert in Russian history, economics, and military, he criticizes modern Russia and praises the Soviet system, or more precisely what it was under Joseph Stalin and what it could have become without Leonid Brezhnev and Mikhail Gorbachev. He is an advocate of "a federated Russian Empire" consisting of the Russian Federation, Ukraine, parts of Belarus, Moldova's breakaway Transnistria, and Georgia's Abkhazia and South Ossetia. He has described himself as a supporter of "dismemberment" of Georgia and creation of Russian-allied enclaves in its territory.[1]
Kalashnikov has often been criticized for lack of objectivity and abuse of sentimentalism in his writings. His writings primarily target younger generations of Russians. He has also been criticized for making numerous contradictions. For example, in some of his writings, Kalashnikov praises Stalin and the Soviet system, yet in other writings, he espouses sharp anti-communist arguments.[2][better source needed]
In September 2009 President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev urged the government to study Kalashnikov's ideas[3] for speeding the development of the country’s innovative economy posted at LiveJournal.[4]
