Weimar Russia Revisited

The phrase Weimar Russia first appeared about 13 years ago, at the height of the confrontation between then President Boris Yeltsin and the Supreme Soviet that ended when Yeltsin s tanks shelled the parliament. The meaning was clear to all Weimar Russia, like Weimar Germany, signified a weak republic attacked from within by nationalists yearning to restore authoritarian ways.

And of course the big mystery is Germany itself, seemingly lifted from history by its own economic buoyancy. Can German politicians abandon Weimar style economics before they are hit by Weimar style political disintegration?

In the last years of the increasingly unstable Weimar Republic, as democracy was fraying, German governments started to use their opponents radicalism in an effort to extract security concessions from the Western powers. Domestic political pressure became a source of heightened international tension.

11. As reflected in the constitutional provisions since the Weimar Constitution, a separation between religions and the State has been introduced.

In the 1920 s and 1930 s, Germany s traditional Christian values and culture had collapsed under the attack of two atheist ideologies communism and Nazism. Both destroyed the Weimar Republic, acting as a kind of evil twins who hated each other, yet shared a common hatred of Christianity and democracy.

22. Apart from the question of the status of cults, the Constitution, in article 140 (Weimar Constitution, art. 137, para. 3), guarantees the right to freedom of management.

That scheme is both absurd and dangerous. After all, the word Weimar draws its infamy from the pact with the devil that German conservatives and royalists made by backing Hitler.

In retrospect, it appears obvious that the Weimar Republic might have been saved had the Nazi Party been banned in time. Joseph Goebbels, Hitler s propaganda minister, famously gloated after the Nazis legal Machtergreifung (seizure of power) It will always remain one of the best jokes of democracy that it provided its mortal enemies with the means through which it was annihilated.

In the late 1990 s and the early years of this decade, the problems that incited fears of a dysfunctional state seemed to fade. But over the past 18 months, the specter of Weimar has once again begun to haunt Russia.

The problem is that everyone writes history in their own manner, and that there are no scales that can fix the precise point at which the remedy of unifying patriotism turns into the lethal poison of rabid nationalism. Weimar Germany blindly poisoned itself.
