A holy place is never empty. It is such a movie that traditional idealists should watch in order to understand the difference between the world of the real Tradition and its varhammer-like network forgeries. Today, traditionalism has degenerated into various neo-oprichnina, neo-paganism and other subcultural nonsense, in no way socially or psychologically different from Tolkienists, cyberpunks, etc. We are not talking about cattle, posting pictures on their profiles in “Contact” against the background of Pattaya. We are talking about original narcissists, some of whom are photographed “on the avatar” with orange ropes woven into their hair, and others in ancient Russian mail made with their own hands (top of naturalness!).
Well, this movie is not for them. It is for the traditionalists of the true, being. For those who would like to break out of virtual and reinforced concrete into the timeless realities of Spirit, Blood and Soil. For those who would like to go to the natural conditions of being, but do not know how: landmarks are lost. This film outlines the direction of the Return, albeit dotted. It makes you seriously think: what is life and what is a mirage; who am I and who is my digital clone?
The native Russian element is shown here so soulfully that the video sequence is no less understandable than the speech and image of the priest.
“Nature abhors emptiness,” Aristotle taught #34. This is not about what the neo-Orthodox neo-conservatives used to point out, not about the future owners of the Russian land. It's about souls. If they do not have the fateful linkage of a truly traditional spirituality with the natural foundations of life, then all is lost. This is called ontological traditionalism – a return to natural life, away from plausible illusions of “civilization.” And away from Orthodox nonsense that living conditions do not affect spiritual development.
