The manifest of new decadence.
We, geosymbolists declare revival of decadence! Till now Russian decadence of the beginning of the twentieth century is characterized as " decomposition and decline ". We declare, that these characteristics are false. Russian decadence is not the decline, but steps of the best part of the intelligentsia from the basic layer of Russian culture shackled by realism...
Decadents felt the weakness of realism. They saw dangers to which the writers-realists who have bolsheviks subjected Russia. With coming of bolsheviks to power in Russia the culture has become pregnant a fever of mutiny and delivered socialist realism. Now the socialist realism has died. What do we see on its place? Territory of decay. We need to depart from this territory. And we shall depart, as decadents have departed from realism hundred years ago. We shall create new culture on pillars of new decadence.
NAME TO THOSE PILLARS: THE LIFE, THE LOVE, THE GOD!
- The LIFE! A pillar which should be erected above a cult of death spiritualizing modern culture. This cult is shown in detectives especially strongly. Any detective is territory of death fenced by a barbed wire of logic. We need to erect life above death. It is necessary to strengthen life warm with terrestrial symbolics.
- The LOVE! Formation of this pillar demands even more resolute actions. Now there is a war with love in modern Russian culture. The majority of known Russian writers is at war with love. These writers savour in their all the most low and dirty, that is in the person stories and novels. And this dirt of the ideal plan, filling a place of love, kill it. We, geosymbolists are full of determination to strengthen and glorify a pillar of love with the best symbols, many of which also are not found.
- The GOD! As to religiousness, – we respect it. But always there was a simplified form of belief which was called God-seeking. It in general is dead now. We shall reanimate God-seeking, as support by creativity of all beliefs, as searches of the God between beliefs not to the detriment of them. For God-seeking there is a huge danger, and a name of this danger is a fantasy.
We speak about the essence of a genre of fantasy, as ground for denying the God. Fantasy is godlessly on its essence. They are those lifeless labyrinthes from which geosymbolists know the output to new symbolics, to searches of the God and the God nimself.
And once again: THE LIFE, THE LOVE, THE GOD are pillars of new decadence the road to the future. We, geosymbolists are already in a way. Join us.
Let`s start. And together we shall construct new decadence! We shall construct a new empire of new culture. And three pillars, three Universal symbols will rush upward:
THE LIFE, THE LOVE, THE GOD
