![]() Derde Rome
Het idee van Moskou als een Derde Rome begon te spelen bij de eerste Russische tsaren. In de decennia na de val van Constantinopel (29 mei 1453), noemden sommigen Moskou al het 'Derde Rome'. Ivan III van Moskovië, die getrouwd was met Sophia Palaeologus (de nicht van de laatste Byzantijnse keizer Constantijn XI), kon het erfgenaamschap van het gevallen Oost-Romeinse Rijk opeisen. (fig.: Vlag van het Byzantijnse Keizerrijk onder de Palaeologusdynastie)

In andere landen als Hongarije, Bulgarije, Roemenië is dat tussen de 50 en 70%. Hoe komt dat? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...time-life.html When people ask me what it was like growing up behind the Iron Curtain in Hungary in the Seventies and Eighties, most expect to hear tales of secret police, bread queues and other nasty manifestations of life in a one-party state. They are invariably disappointed when I explain that the reality was quite different, and communist Hungary, far from being hell on earth, was in fact, rather a fun place to live. The communists provided everyone with guaranteed employment, good education and free healthcare. Violent crime was virtually non-existent. But perhaps the best thing of all was the overriding sense of camaraderie, a spirit lacking in my adopted Britain and, indeed, whenever I go back to Hungary today. People trusted one another, and what we had we shared. I was born into a working-class family in Esztergom, a town in the north of Hungary, in 1968. My mother, Julianna, came from the east of the country, the poorest part. Born in 1939, she had a harsh childhood. She left school aged 11 and went straight to work in the fields. She remembers having to get up at 4am to walk five miles to buy a loaf of bread. As a child, she was so hungry she often waited next to the hen for it to lay an egg. She would then crack it open and swallow the yolk and the white raw. It was discontent with these conditions of the early years of communism that led to the Hungarian uprising in 1956. The shock waves brought home to the communist leadership that they could consolidate their position only by making our lives more tolerable. Stalinism was out and 'goulash communism' - a unique brand of liberal communism - was in. Janos Kadar, the country's new leader, transformed Hungary into the 'happiest barracks' in Eastern Europe. We probably had more freedoms than in any other communist country. One of the best things was the way leisure and holiday opportunities were opened up to all. Before the Second World War, holidays were reserved for the upper and middle classes. In the immediate post-war years too, most Hungarians were working so hard rebuilding the country that holidays were out of the question. In the Sixties though, as in many other aspects of life, things changed for the better. By the end of the decade, almost everyone could afford to go away, thanks to the network of subsidised trade-union, company and co-operative holiday centres. My parents worked in Dorog, a nearby town, for Hungaroton, a state-owned record company, so we stayed at the factory's holiday camp at Lake Balaton, 'The Hungarian Sea'. The camp was similar to the sort of holiday camps in vogue in Britain at the same time, the only difference being that guests had to make their own entertainment in the evenings - there were no Butlins-style Redcoats. Some of my earliest memories of living at home are of the animals my parents kept on their smallholding. Rearing animals was something most people did, as well as growing vegetables. Outside Budapest and the big towns, we were a nation of Tom and Barbara Goods. My parents had about 50 chickens, pigs, rabbits, ducks, pigeons and geese. We kept the animals not just to feed our family but also to sell meat to our friends. We used the goose feathers to make pillows and duvets. The government understood the value of education and culture. Before the advent of communism, opportunities for the children of the peasantry and urban working class, such as me, to rise up the educational ladder were limited. All that changed after the war. The school system in Hungary was similar to that which existed in Britain at the time. Secondary education was divided into grammar schools, specialised secondary schools, and vocational schools. The main differences were that we stayed in our elementary school until the age of 14, not 11. There were also evening schools, for children and adults. My parents, who had both left school young, took classes in mathematics, history and Hungarian literature and grammar. I loved my schooldays, and in particular my membership of the Pioneers - a movement common to all communist countries. Many in the West believed it was a crude attempt to indoctrinate the young with communist ideology, but being a Pioneer taught us valuable life skills such as building friendships and the importance of working for the benefit of the community. 'Together for each other' was our slogan, and that was how we were encouraged to think. As a Pioneer, if you performed well in your studies, communal work and school competitions, you were rewarded with a trip to a summer camp. I went every year because I took part in almost all the school activities: competitions, gymnastics, athletics, choir, shooting, literature and library work. On our last night at Pioneer camp we sang songs around the bonfire, such as the Pioneer anthem: 'Mint a mokus fenn a fan, az uttoro oly vidam' ('We are as happy as a squirrel on a tree'), and other traditional songs. Our feelings were always mixed: sad at the prospect of leaving, but happy at the thought of seeing our families again. Today, even those who do not consider themselves communists look back at their days in the Pioneers with great affection. Hungarian schools did not follow the so-called 'progressive' ideas on education prevalent in the West at the time. Academic standards were extremely high and discipline was strict. My favourite teacher taught us that without mastery of Hungarian grammar we would lack confidence to articulate our thoughts and feelings. We could make only one mistake if we wanted to attain the highest grade. Unlike Britain, there were 'viva voce' exams in Hungary in every subject. In literature, for example, set texts had to be memorised and recited and then the student would have to answer questions put to them orally by the teacher. Ik had gelijkaardige ervaringen in de Sovjet-Unie. Misschien waren er wel rijen, maar het eten was spotgoedkoop, iedereen kon dat betalen. Alles was spotgoedkoop of gewoon gratis, pretparken, huisvesting, onderwijs, openbaar vervoer, vakanties, etc. Het onderwijs was ook hoogstaand. Ook verrassend, volgens opiniepeilingen vindt de meerderheid in de meeste oostbloklanden dat de kwaliteit van de zorgvertrekking er op achteruit gegaan is. Nu is het leven een dagelijkse strijd om de eindjes aan elkaar te knopen in de meeste van die landen. |

![]() Euh, dat is toch prima. Tussen investeren en op de koffie komen zoals in Tsjechoslovakije in 1968 lijkt er in mijn ogen een wereld van verschil. Ook de Duitsers investeren in heel wat landen, maar dat betekent niet hetzelfde als hun "uitstapje" in de jaren '40.
