It is important to understand there are no alternatives to being united, like it or not. The challenges and threats of today, and the risks they carry, are already making us realize this. This realization will only grow with each passing day.
Unification can be voluntary or forced. Forced unification is unification basing on external factors. And these factors are likely to be violent to some extent, or at least very unpleasant to us. This form of unification implies external regulation of human lives and activities. Unification is needed to stabilize the system, to ensure safety and to avoid destruction. Whenever a system cannot stabilize itself, it requires external stabilization. Otherwise it will enter a self-destructive state and eventually collapse. External regulation always implies suppressing the functions that the system is unable to operate and take under control. The voluntary unification procedure, on the other hand, assumes developing the system, so it can perform its functions efficiently enough to manage and stabilize itself.
In the new model, however, the person is a subject, a master of life, actively shaping life and taking responsibility not only for his or her local area, but also for the life of the entire society.
Since the current global challenges cannot be tackled locally by each country acting on its own, and warrant a common unified system-wide response, the society must be united to find a voluntary and favorable way out of the situation. This requires a common denominator for all people, one that can be used to build a common system, common rules, a common world. This must be a universal value that is acceptable and rewarding for everyone. Without this universal value, global challenge cannot be efficiently addressed. We need to solve the equation of life for all people on Earth by finding a universal answer that fits everyone and is shared by everyone.
Russia is currently the one part of the society that is capable of developing and implementing a unifying idea of living together on a global scale. Russia has the necessary historical experience of different ethnicities, with very different identities, coexisting peacefully, their identity not lost, enjoying support and in many cases developing without conflicts. The very spirit of Russia suggests acceptance and support. But in order for Russia to successfully reunite the world, it must first develop and implement this unity within.
