When a state directs all its power to the destruction of loyal subjects, who does it choose as victims in the first place? History will tell us that Sulla destroyed political opponents, Nero threw Christians to the beasts, the Inquisition burned witches and heretics, the Jacobins guillotined aristocrats, the Turks chopped up Armenians, the Nazis drove Jews to gas chambers. Igor Efimov, having carefully examined these historical cataclysms and focusing special attention on mass terror in Stalinist Russia, Maoist China, communist Cambodia, comes to the conclusion that in all these catastrophes we are dealing with the eruption to the surface of the ever-smoldering, irrational hatred of the less gifted towards the more gifted. Intellectuals and entrepreneurs (including independent peasant farmers), “masters of knowledge” and “masters of things” are the main victims of communist terror in all countries. Violating the code of “political correctness,” the author talks about what everyone knows but prefers to remain silent: that people are not equal from birth in intelligence, in energy, in artistic talent. In his new work, Igor Efimov convincingly shows that the confrontation between “high-voltage” and “low-voltage” (with such terms he denotes the innate inequality of people) permeates not only the entire world history, but also the political struggle of our days, and will also determine the fate of America in the coming years and many other countries.
