SEVEN DEADLY SINS FOR CRIMINAL OLIGARCHY
Ruben Vardanyan, a Russia-based Armenian businessman, has set
up a charitable foundation in Armenia and declared the seven
principles underlying charity: a long-term vision and plan spanning
several decades; scale and symbolic importance; collegiality and
internationality; multiplier effect (infrastructure, social, cultural);
local community involvement; gradual operational self-sufficiency;
meeting high international standards and creating a new benchmark
locally.
These principles have the adverse reflection in the activities of
the Armenia-based capital. The criminal and oligarchic system will
perceive the principles declared by Ruben Vardanyan as sins.
These principles are not only alien but also dangerous for the
Armenian criminal and oligarchic capital. These principles can change
the culture of charity and have a multiplier effect of changing public
consciousness, mentality and self-esteem. The seven principles declared
by Vardanyan will retrieve the society from the status of a beggar,
the psychology of a beggar will be replaced by participation and a
sense of ownership.
This effect will take years but we must start with something to
produce this effect.
In a recent interview with the Dozhd TV channel Ruben Vardanyan
described governance of Armenia as one based on clans.
Investments and charity strike the clans and governance of clans
because such governance is possible when there is legitimacy. The
consciousness and mentality of the majority legitimized the clan-based
governance.
The clans have divided among themselves not only economic quotas but
also charity. Each of them has their beneficiaries. The beneficiaries
hardly ever mix or they mix in an environment of squabbles among clans.
Clan-based governance determines the nature of charity. It does not
plan for long terms, does not go for competition, international scope.
Charity is spontaneous actions without systemic and institutional
prospects.
The seven principles declared by Ruben Vardanyan will be deadly
sins to the criminal and oligarchic clans though it should not be
ruled out that one of them will perceive the seven principles as an
opportunity to repent before the society, invest their capital in
public development and thereby seek for protection and development of
their capital. So far the criminal oligarchy has enjoyed its success
without the population. In addition, it built its success on public
mischief.
Meanwhile, the society is changing not only in the world but all over
the world, putting forth new claims to elites. Changes in the world
are inevitable and unstoppable. The problem is speed. Unfortunately
for the criminal and oligarchic groups Armenia has a little more
importance on the world map than the oligarchy thinks.
