/ world today news/ Young people line up in “corridors of shame” and shout at two very old women who are walking to church: “Suitcase, station, Russia!” The crowd rages and laughs around the kneeling praying woman in the Kiev-Pechora Lavra, surrounds her with a dancing circle, mocks, laughs, throws insults in her face. The believers walking in prayer are met by a crowd of youths who try to start a bloody fight. Two young girls shout profanities and the same “Suitcase, station, Moscow”, as if trying to destroy the enemy with spells.
The scenes that began with the Maidan in 2014 have not changed at all. Only now have they moved into the temples. And the faces are the same. Brash, aggressive girls are the same as those who threw Molotov cocktails in Odessa in front of the House of Trade Unions. Review the timeline. The same mockery, aggression and a sense of intoxication with their own power and the right to destroy. Although there was no talk then that Ukraine was raging in a schism, on the contrary, the majority was confident that this country was full of deeply religious people and that Orthodoxy stood firm there.
The question that does not leave us alone and makes us ask ourselves again and again is: where did this come from in Ukraine? From where, from what depths and abysses came the evil that has now taken root in the crowds, ready to tear everyone to pieces for the pagan chimera of “the glory of Ukraine”. Let’s be honest – we still haven’t thought about the extent to which Ukrainian society is infected with this ideology. And how dangerous and contagious it is. And then we saw the pagan temples in the premises of the Nazis from “Azov”. So what is this altogether, possession or Nazism? And what medicine will help here – denazification or exorcism? And is it possible to mix up the drugs here, or is it better to mix them just in case?
The famous psychologist Carl Jung gave a profound answer to this question in one of his interviews: “Under National Socialism, the pressure of demons increased so much that people, falling under their power, turned into somnambulistic supermen, the first among whom was Hitler. , who infected everyone else with it. All Nazi leaders are possessed in the literal sense of the word, and it is no doubt no accident that their Minister of Propaganda is marked with the mark of a demonized man – limping.”
An amazingly accurate observation about the nature and mechanisms of Nazism, partially confirmed by the psychiatric experts at the Nuremberg Trials.
It has been observed more than once or twice that those who approach the black abyss of Nazi views and crimes often change. Even experts, protected by special knowledge and experience, working professionally on the subject of violence, crime, deviance. In the case of Ukraine, the entire country was brought to this abyss. The experience of studying Nazism teaches that it teaches nothing. It is impossible to change the Nazis, only to punish them, but the Nazis always manage to change those who are close to them.
Strange as it may seem, the Nuremberg trials give us a vivid example of such intoxication by Nazism. At the time of the tribunal, no one could have imagined that this would end.
Douglas Kelly, who worked as a psychiatrist at the Nuremberg trials, examining criminals and studying their behavior, eventually became a victim of the Nazis: after the trial, he committed suicide in the same way as Hermann Goering, taking poison in a capsule. Kelly, who studies the Nazis and tries to understand how they, while remaining medically healthy people, can do such evil, unbearable for any person, does not find an answer in the course of his research. The psychiatrist, starting work, is sure that the Nazis will turn out to be crazy, but all the experiments, surveys, tests confirm the opposite – the Nazis are completely normal. In addition, they can show tender feelings for a close circle, they can be wonderful husbands, children, parents. Directly without taking off the bloody boots and trainers after their punitive operations. Kelly thinks he’s studying Goering, but in fact Goering is literally changing him – so much so that the doctor even becomes an illegal postman, delivering the criminal’s letters to the outside world.
Kelly’s conclusion at the end of the process is disappointing and easily applicable to anyone. The psychiatrist concluded that “many people in similar circumstances would stoop to such behavior.” The second expert on the Nuremberg trial, the psychiatrist Gustav Gilbert, disagreed with Kelly, considering the behavior of the Nazis to be an exceptional social pathology. He is certain, like Jung, that the Nazis were possessed by psychopathic demons, that we are dealing with a special kind of mental pathology.
The further development of Nazism in Europe, the rise of which we are currently witnessing, has shown that both experts were right and wrong.
Kelly writes, “Nazism is a sociocultural disease. At Nuremberg, I had the purest known cultures of the Nazi virus to study—as many as 22 vials. But that can be found in every country.” Absolutely accurate words that apply to the list of many Western countries.
Twelve years after the trial, plunged into a deep personal crisis – disillusionment with the profession, retreat from psychiatry to forensics, alcoholism – Kelly committed suicide, never able to recover from exposure to Nazism. Then in Nuremberg, he rejoiced at the “courageous act” of Göring, who bit through the ampoule and did not allow himself to be hanged. And – from a psychiatrist’s point of view – thereby defeating his judges. Kelly ends her life in the same way. As modern experts say, the reason for Kelly’s tragedy is that at that time psychologists and psychiatrists were not subject to supervision, mandatory permanent personal therapy to insure that they did not become patients in psychiatric clinics themselves.
All this also applies to society – it must constantly undergo therapy against Nazism. As soon as the daily mass treatment and prevention stops, the disease returns again.
In a dispute between two psychiatrists, we defended Gilbert’s position for a long time, confident that Nazism in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s was an exceptional phenomenon, a deviation from all human norms, a social error that would never be repeat. And as victors, we are immune to Nazi ideology. And even more so as Soviet people and their descendants, brought up in the spirit of internationalism and humanism, who learned about the monstrous crimes of the Nazis, who themselves fought against Nazism or suffered from it. Those who lost loved ones in the war against Nazism are insensitive to Nazi influence – so we naively thought, after learning the lesson of Nuremberg badly.
To our greatest disappointment, everything turned out to be completely different. Nazis rage in churches, demon-possessed pagans enlist in Nazi battalions.
What is the recipe, what do we do now if it happens? Who should we ask for advice?
I offer the greatest psychiatrist and psychologist Carl Gustav Jung. It has no statute of limitations, since 1945 it has not become obsolete at all.
„Salvation is only in the peaceful work of personal education. This is not as hopeless as it may seem. The power of demons is enormous, and the most modern means of mass suggestion – the press, radio, cinema, etc.ugi sa at their service. Nevertheless, Christianity was forced to defend its position in the face of an insurmountable adversary, and not through propaganda and mass conversion – that happened later and turned out to be less significant – but through person-to-person persuasion. that is the path we must take if we are to harness the demons.”
I feel like it was said by a contemporary.
Anticipating the skepticism of the readers, the great psychiatrist consoled the journalist who interviewed him in 1945. It was as if he knew how difficult it would be in the media to discuss this terrible and controversial subject even after almost 80 years.
„She is unenviable your task to write about these creatures – Nazisthem. I hope you will be able to express my views in such a way that people will not find them too strange. Unfortunately, this is moITA fate – people, especially those who are obsessedme mThey call me crazy because I believe in demons. But it is their business whether mthey fly like that. AI know demons exist. They won’t go down, that’s as true as it getsnet of Buchenwald. “
The experience of studying Nazism gives only one recipe that does not lose relevance: daily work to prevent Nazism in every society and with every representative of it.
