It Was 'The War To End All Wars' - WWI - Then Came WWII And So On...
American Graffiti
World War I was said to be the war to end all wars, but devastating war continues on all fronts to this day.
The Soviet Union was one of the victors of World War II along with Britain and American allies after recovering from a surprise invasion in 1941 by Nazi Germany and its allies. Millions of courageous and relentless Russians died to fight this cause.
The Cold War was reflected in culture through music, movies, books, television, and other media, as well as sports, social beliefs, and behavior. Major elements of the Cold War included the threat of communist expansion, a nuclear war, and - connected to both - espionage. The Cold War as a backdrop for directly taking part in a fictional conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union.
The Beat Generation was a literary subculture movement started by a group of authors whose work explored and influenced American culture and politics in the post-World War II era.
After WWII in America, there came the cultural social movements of the Baby Boomers 1946-64, Generation X 1965-80, Millennials/Generation Y 1981-96, Zoomers 1997-2012, and now Generation Alpha 2010-2020, and who will predict the AI Generation from 2025 into the future?
Interestingly we can give to Russian generations self-explanatory names, without using numerals such as, "the sixties", "seventies" and so on - " A frightened generation. A generation of janitors and watchmen. A greedy generation. A generation that has left. A mediocre generation. The Bloody Generation. "
“We eat the grass - for centuries on sorrel, sour our souls, sprinkled with disappointment, hardened by hardship.” - says one Russian
The Collapse of the Soviet Union - 1989-1992
Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, and Ozzy Osbourne played at the Moscow Music Peace Festival in August, 1989
"Moreover, they amused themselves with wine" - they destroyed the home, fought, hanged themselves. Other countries also had their St. Bartholomew's Nights, of civil and opium wars, indulgences, concentration camps, dogmas about the infallibility of the pope, the slave trade, castrati, human zoos, patriotic education of children, the burning of heretics, racial laws, "kill everyone, the Lord will know his own"... But it seems that nowhere else have the boots of power been so voluptuously and selflessly licked than in the Soviet Union under the soviet totalitarian regime of Stalin.
The Chicago Boys collapsed the failing economy of the Soviet Union in 1990, after which Gen-X Cultural ties to Russia were deliberate and hopeful to further collapse the soviet culture in attempt to break the cohesive spirit of the Soviet structure. And now, what ensues presently in a cultural invasion of global communist totalitarianism in the bastion of democratic freedom that once was America? It seems no different than the soviet degradation it once sought to neutralize.
For example, "There is a people's war, a holy war." How can such war, monstrous in its cruelty, be called "holy"? With its hunger, concentration camps, barrier detachments, looting, mediocrity, Order 227, repressions, front-line hundred grams, black jackets, the deportation of entire peoples, meat waves, mass rapes. What is holy in this confrontation of two terrible evils - choose, either for Joseph or for Adolf. What are you going to die for, Auschwitz or Kolyma? What is more sacred to you, the dictatorship of the proletariat or the racial laws? Archpriest Uminsky was banned from ministry because of his anti-war statements. That holy man. How can any honest person be a member of the Gundyaev church? How can he talk about "love thy neighbor" and "thou shalt not kill" while was continues? Now I understand what your “holiness” means. This should be said with the intonation of the Tsyganovs (Russian tank armor): "Holy Triune Russia”. A similar religious fallout with the Christian rightwing Evangelical movements in America, has equally lost its compass, preaching peace and love on one hand while slaughtering our fellow man with the other.

The All-Russian nation (Belarusian: агульнарускі народ, Russian: общерусский народ, Ukrainian: загальноруський
народ) or triune Russian nation (Belarusian: трыядзіны рускі народ, Russian: триединый русский народ,
Ukrainian: триєдиний руський народ), also called the pan-Russian nation, is the term for the Imperial Russian
and later irredentist ideology that sees the Russian nation as comprising a "trinity" of sub-nations:
Great Russia, Little Russia, and White Russia.
War never went away, it simply changes names.
