997 , Russia's five years of development completed its last test launch before its finalization.
But just as Russia was preparing to equip this "big killer" that is known as one of the "three world's truths" to the Strategic Rocket Force, a scientist involved in the development of the missile suddenly defected to Germany. The United States, who was worried about not being able to get Poplar-M-M technical information, was overjoyed and immediately instructed the US military stationed in Germany to protect the safety of this expert.
But under heavy troops, this expert died bizarrely.
When everyone was still guessing the cause of his death, the fighting nation did not hide it, took the initiative to stand up and took the responsibility, and responded domineeringly:
"If you betray the country, I will kill the whole family! No matter where you escape, you will be hunted down around the world!"
The international community was in an uproar, but the Russian people applauded.
Why does Russia hate traitors so much? Why are you so confident that you can chase and kill traitors who fled anywhere?
This starts with the history of Russia.
Eastern Slavs
"God-selected nation" lacks security, "fellowship" culture hates traitors
Russian ancestors belong to the Ros tribe of Eastern Slavs . In history, they have been bullied and oppressed by Mongolians .
RosThe people cannot fight, they can only look for spiritual comfort from the Orthodox Church they believe in.
According to the teachings of Orthodox Church, they comfort themselves that only God chooses nations will arrange for them to suffer.
And one day they will end their hardships and be the first to enter the Kingdom of God.
This was originally a "spiritual victory method", but coincidentally, since
462, the Moscow Principality they established gradually began to become stronger, and by 492, it had grown into a regional power.
Moscow Principality
According to the teachings of Orthodox Church,
492 happened to be the 7000th year of God's creation of the world.
One thousand years in the world is equal to God's day, so seven thousand years in the world are exactly equal to the seven days in the world created by God.
According to "prophecy", the eternal kingdom of God will come at this moment.
At this time, the rapid rise of the Principality of Moscow seemed to confirm this "prophecy", so the Russians began to have the consciousness of God's chosen nation.
When they inherited " Roman Empire ", this awareness was already deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Later, whether it was Napoleon's attack or Hitler's raid, they could always turn defeat into victory in an unfavorable start, and eventually established the only two superpowers in the world.
Napoleon
The concept of "the godly elects the nation" has completely become a national consciousness.
So Russians will naturally think, how can the "God-selected Nation" produce traitors?
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the "God-selected Nation" plummeted, which also attracted their reflection on nationality.
But the result of their reflection is that Russia has fallen because national scum has defiled national purity, so they hate traitors even more.
Although the people of the "God-selected Nation" are very proud, most of them have not had a good life in history.
That is, shortly after they realized that they were a "godly elected nation", Russia implemented serfdom .
Russian serfs
From then on, serfs were completely bound to the landlords' land, and their personal rights and property rights were controlled by the landlords.
No matter how the landlord abuses them, it is legal. Apart from treason, no matter what illegal things the landlord does, the serfs have no right to report them.
In this case, they can only obey the landlord unconditionally.
. For the serfs, they work together every day and must help each other.
Over the long years, a culture called "fellowship" has emerged, which advocates obedience and attaches importance to the collective.
917 October Revolution , Russia became a socialist country , and the serfdom that had been implemented for four centuries was completely abolished.
October Revolution
But the genes left in national culture due to serfdom have not been eliminated.
What is even more coincidental is that the Soviet Union subsequently implemented the planned economic system and collective economic organization form were similar to the "fellowship culture".
After a certain transformation, the "fellowship" culture has changed the requirement of individuals to "the collective should be more important than the individual, and individuals should obey the country."
In this cultural context, the Russians believe that national interests are above everything else, and that all betrayal of the country, the large collective, are shameful and cannot be forgiven.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, their unique sense of patriotism was not weakened, but was further strengthened under the pessimistic sentiment of "the country will not be a country". Therefore, this is also the reason why they support the authoritarian rule of Putin .
In addition, as the world's first socialist country, the Soviet Union has been strongly hostile to Western capitalist countries since its first day of its establishment.
They collectively regard socialism as a disaster and want to get rid of it quickly.
Even if evil is like Hitler , as long as they are under the banner of anti-communism, they will become the object of indulgence.
After the Second World War , the Soviet Union became the only two superpower in the world, and with the nuclear weapon in hand, the West no longer dared to conquer the enemy by force, but it never gave up on its peaceful evolution. " instigation of " became the main means of the West.
So the Soviet Union was particularly sensitive to traitors and carried out large-scale anti-counterfeiting campaigns at every turn, artificially creating many unjust, false and wrong cases.
Later, the Soviet Union was dragged down in the Cold War in and eventually disintegrated. After
, Russia's comprehensive national strength, which inherited the Soviet Union, plummeted, but Western countries still did not give up on its isolation.
This makes the Russian people more hatred of Western countries and even more unforgivable to traitors.
It can be seen from this that the Russians especially hate traitors is the result of the combined effect of historical, cultural and political factors.
But the world is so big, how did Russia achieve that all traitors "will be punished even if they are far away"?
This is thanks to Russia's long history and consistent anti-espionage organization.
Anti-Second institutions have a long history, and now they are even more "blue than blue"
As early as the October Revolution, Lenin established the All-Russian Anti-Counterfeiting Committee in order to "use extraordinary means to fight against all counter-revolutionaries". This is what people call Cheka . After
Stalin came to power, the Soviet Security Committee was established on the basis of Cheka.
Many people may think this name is particularly unfamiliar, but as long as it mentions its abbreviation " GGB ", everyone will immediately know it.
KGB is a "super institution" that surpasses all the institutions of the Soviet Party, government and military. In name, it is responsible to the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, but in fact it is only responsible to the leader.
Soviet KGB badge
And this leader must be recognized by the KGB, otherwise there will be a risk of being overthrown by it at any time.
At its peak, the KGB had more than 500,000 staff members, including 200,000 spies and counter-espionage personnel, not including their informants at home and abroad.
According to statistics, the KGB had a total of 1.5 million informants across the Soviet Union, and the population of the Soviet Union was only 280 million.
This means that at least one out of every 200 people is a KGB informant.
Under such circumstances, any abnormal behavior of ordinary people may be charged with treason, let alone real traitors.Dzerrensky, the founder of
KGB,
, these traitors cannot rest assured even if they fled abroad, because the KGB still has 250,000 informants and other intelligence personnel abroad. The moment these traitors fled abroad, there is no secret of their whereabouts.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, although the KGB as an institution no longer exists, the talents and network resources it has left behind are divided among the two institutions: Russian Foreign Intelligence Agency and Russian Federal Security Agency .
Among them, the Russian Federation Security Agency has become an organization dedicated to national security affairs.
Although it is much lower-key than the BKGB, it is far better than the KGB in counterintelligence.
Russian Federal Security Bureau
First of all, the Federal Security Bureau can not only directly order security operations through the president, but also have the right to formulate its own regulations to legalize certain so-called security behaviors.
In addition, it is also far stronger than the KGB in personnel and equipment.
In addition to agent , it also has several special forces. These special forces are not only equipped with combat weapons such as machine gun , artillery , and even heavy weapons such as armed helicopter , armored combat vehicles , and armed ships.
Over the years, the " Alpha " and "Signal Flag" special forces under the Federal Security Agency have shined in the anti-terrorism operations, allowing people to see the strength of this low-key organization.
But this is still the tip of the iceberg for the Federal Security Agency.
Its repeated assassination of traitors is truly scary.
is not afraid of condemning the severance of diplomatic relations. If you treason, you will be killed as long as you treason
998 , an agent named Litvinenko leaked the secret of his superior's operation to assassinate a Russian financial oligarch and was hunted by the Federal Security Bureau.
He first escaped to Türkiye by forging his passport, and later obtained political asylum from the UK and officially became a British citizen in in October 2006.
Litvinenko
He thought it should be safe now, but he didn't expect that just one month later, he died bizarrely.
After forensic identification, he died of radioactive element polonium poisoning.
Soon the British police locked in the murderer, a Federal Security Agency agent named Lugovoy .
But even if Britain threatens to expel Russian diplomats, Russia refuses to extradite the agent.
is a coincidence. In 010, the former head of the Russian spy network in the United States, " Sherbakov ", defected to the United States and handed the list of 10 Russian spies secretly inserted in the United States to FBI , causing Russia's intelligence network to suffer a major blow.
Sherbakov
After learning of the news, the Russian Federation Security Bureau immediately issued a public pursuit order.
Because "Sherbakov" is highly confidential, the media has not reported on who is "Sherbakov" and whether he died.
But judging from the previous methods of the Federal Security Agency against traitors, "Sherbakov" will not survive in this world for too long.
In recent years, Russia's assassination of treasons has been increasingly condemned by the international community, but even so, Russia has not stopped.
In 2018, the Skripal poisoning incident pushed Russia to the forefront again.
Skripal
Skripal was originally a colonel of the Russian General Administration of Foreign Intelligence. In 006, he was accused of providing intelligence to the UK for a long time and was eventually sentenced to 13 years in prison by Russia.
But in 010 , Russia used him to exchange prisoners with the United States.
According to international practice, Skripal's matter is over. But eight years later, he and his daughter were bizarrely poisoned in the UK.
After investigation, the UK determined that it was done by an operation team code-named " Gordon " of the Russian Federation Security Agency.
Under public pressure, Russia did not domineeringly admit the British accusations against it this time.
But the А234 substance that causes Skripal's poisoning is indeed a unique nerve agent in Russia, so even if Russia does not recognize it, people know it well.
Later, Skripal survived in time for rescue, but it is still unknown how long he can live.
Putin once publicly stated: "The final outcome of a traitor will always be very bad."
Now that he is from the KGB, he has long been the president of Russia's power space, and the situation of the traitor is even more conceivable.
Putin
From the perspective of social development trends, Russia's behavior of killing traitors is indeed inhumane enough, but from the perspective of historical latitude and Russia's current situation, Russia's behavior is understandable.
After all, the behavior of traitors in any country is shameful.
