RDS actively participates and organizes conferences, round tables and seminars on topical socio-political topics. So, in recent years, the RDS, together with the all-Russian social movement "For Faith and Fatherland", with considerable success have held a number of very serious and significant scientific conferences that have not only scientific, but also important social and political significance. In March 2007, it was the 1st scientific-practical conference "The Monarchist Idea in the XXI Century", timed to coincide with the 90th anniversary of the February Revolution and the forcible abdication of Tsar Emperor Nicholas II Alexandrovich - the sad dates of Russian history, marked on March 15, 2007. In May 2009, in the conference hall of the Russian State Trade and Economic University (RGTEU), the II scientific and practical conference from the same cycle "Monarchist idea in the XXI century" was successfully held. The theme of the conference was "The role of the monarchist idea in the modern unity of the peoples of historical Russia." On March 4, 2011, exactly on the day of the 150th anniversary of the signing by Sovereign Emperor Alexander II Nikolayevich of the Manifesto "On the all-merciful granting to serfs of the rights of the state of free rural inhabitants", the next, III All-Russian scientific and practical conference of this cycle, dedicated to the celebrated anniversary. The theme of the conference: “Russian experience of reforms. To the 150th anniversary of the Manifesto of Emperor Alexander II on the liberation of peasants from serfdom. " On March 13, 2012, the IV All-Russian Scientific and Practical Conference was held in Moscow under the general theme “The Monarchist Idea in the XXI Century”, on the topic: “Russian imperial geopolitics: past and future. To the 200th Anniversary of the Victory of Russia in the Patriotic War of 1812 ”. Each time the organizers of the conferences set themselves not only purely historical, scientific and educational tasks, but also quite specific practical goals: to show that the monarchical form of government not only has not outlived its usefulness, but, on the contrary, is both quite successful in the modern world and promising in the future, that in modern Russia there are enough social and political movements, and politicians, scientists, and simply independently thinking people who hold such traditionalist positions. In 2007 and 2009. the purpose of the scientific forums was not an assessment of what happened 90 years ago, but a discussion of new, modern approaches to the use of the best Russian statist traditions and the implementation in practice of the monarchist idea. In 2011, the goal is not only to highlight the Great Peasant Reform in Russia, its historical significance, but also to critically comprehend and compare the Russian reforms of the middle - second half of the XIX century, with subsequent reforms in our country, including the liberal reforms of the late XX - the beginning of the XXI century, which we are witnessing. In 2012, the goal is not only to highlight the history of Russian foreign policy, and even more so not only the history of and the prospects for their implementation in the space of Eurasia and the World.

The mother of Grigory Grigorievich especially insisted on this. However, the father of Grigory Grigorievich, having become acquainted by this time with the methods of work of the Soviet special services, who tried, by means of pressure and intimidation, to involve him in working with internees, realized what awaited him in the Soviet Union and changed his mind about returning to Russia under the communist regime. Grigory Grigorievich's mother, however, did not agree with him and insisted on returning. There was a serious quarrel and the family broke up. Father G.G. Gagarin later lived and died in England. The mother of Grigory Grigorievich with a second marriage married Grigory Erastovich Tulubiev (1897-1960), a hereditary nobleman, a former Guards officer, a member of the White movement, who fought in the White Army with the rank of staff captain.

STATE AND PUBLIC-POLITICAL CONCEPT
RUSSIAN GIRL'S ASSEMBLY
(2nd edition)

"The road will be mastered by the walking ..."

1. GENERAL PRINCIPLES

1.1. We, representatives of the Russian noble families, announced on May 10, 1990 of the restoration, and proclaimed our main goals to be the resurrection of destroyed and lost spiritual, moral, cultural and material values, the restoration of the interrupted historical continuity of generations and the ideals of morality, Christian tolerance, and respect traditional for the Russian state. to the personality, enlightened patriotism and sacrificial service to the Fatherland.

1.2. From time immemorial, the historical vocation of the Russian nobility was to serve the state. The nobility developed as a class of defenders and servants of the Fatherland, who raised the importance of feelings of duty and honor. Guided by these feelings and our own vision of state and socio-political ideals, we advocate the revival of Russia as a great Power, which harmoniously absorbed in modern conditions all the best traditions and qualities that manifested themselves during its almost 12-century existence.

1.3. Our country arose at the junction of several great civilizations and, having repelled all the aggression directed at it from the east, south and west, thanks to its unique geopolitical position and the efforts of all peoples inhabiting it, it itself began to be a great civilization. By the beginning of the twentieth century, Russia was an advanced state for its time - a parliamentary monarchy with a highly developed economy, an active political life, humane legislation, a high level of citizenship, spirituality and brotherhood of people.

The evolutionary development of the state was forcibly interrupted by the revolutions of 1917, carried out by radical political elements, who managed to captivate Russian society with false ideals of establishing social justice according to the recipes of the communist doctrine.

We must state that the destruction of the Russian state took place under conditions of nihilism that had been implanted in the country for a long time, and representatives of all estates, not excluding the nobility, were involved in this process to one degree or another.

1.4. Having withstood all the trials sent down by the Almighty with all the people, we now set ourselves the following main tasks: to promote the revival of the moral and spiritual foundations of the Russian society and state, the formation of public consciousness on the principles of traditionalism, ancestral faith and enlightened patriotism, the revival and strengthening of Russian statehood on the basis of historical Russian state traditions and principles, restoration of Russian historical traditions of state administration and local self-government.

1.5. Protesting against the imposition on our society of a sense of the doom of the Russian peoples to epigonize the Western world with its so-called "universal human values", "unified ideology", globalism and tolerance, we stand for all-round support and priority of the national identity of cultural traditions, ethical ideals and eternal spiritual values ​​of peoples Russia, for the revival and consolidation in our life of the Faith of the ancestors as a proven means of restoring morality and ethics in society.

1.6. Without binding ourselves to the framework of any specific political parties, we set the task of uniting persons belonging to the Russian nobility and the descendants of Russian noble families who have retained their self-identification as representatives of the class, which for centuries has created, strengthened and defended the Russian state, its cultural and scientific potential, for the restoration and the continuation of the historical continuity of generations, for the establishment both in our own environment and in society as a whole, a sense of belonging to the history and future of our Fatherland, for common work for the good of Russia. At the same time, we are confident that the consolidation of persons belonging to the Russian nobility and the descendants of Russian noble families is possible only on the basis of traditional Russian spiritual and moral values, the Faith of the ancestors, and traditions of faithful service to their Fatherland.

1.7. We declare that Russian Noble Assembly regional branches (regional Nobility Assemblies) and the Council of the United Nobility, included in it, are the successors of the organizational structures and activities of the Union of United Noble Societies, respectively, the provincial Noble Assemblies at the place of registration of the currently formed Noble Assemblies and the Council of the United Nobility, which existed in Russia until February 1917.

1.8. We declare that Russian Noble Assembly is a traditionalist organization with deep respect for the Russian spiritual and cultural heritage, for the traditions of the historical Russian Statehood, while it does not dogmatize specific forms and does not bow before the ideas of the past, but is ready to use all the wealth of the historical experience of the country and the people, perceiving it in a dynamic development.

1.9. We declare that Russian Noble Assembly, recognizing the enduring spiritual and moral significance of the Approved Charter of the Great Local Church and Zemsky Sobor of 1613 on the calling of the House of Romanovs to the kingdom, the Act of Succession to the throne in 1797, the Manifesto of the Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich of 1924 on his adoption in exile of the Imperial regulatory title and other dictatorial acts the legal status of the House of Romanov, is a legitimist organization, that is, it honors the legitimate Russian Imperial House as a historical institution and one of the main pillars of modern civil society and remains loyal to its Head. The now legitimate Head of the Russian Imperial House of Romanovs is Her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna, and Her legal heir is His Imperial Highness the Tsarevich and Grand Duke Georgy Mikhailovich.

1.10. Though Russian Noble Assembly- the organization is non-political and does not set itself the goal of coming to power, we not only reserve the right to speak out, including in the media, on the most important issues in the life of Russia and other states that were part of a single Power, but we also intend to be invariably active to participate in public and state activities in all its most important spheres.

1.11. We consider it important in every possible way, patiently and persistently to form elements of accord and unity in the main directions of social and political activity of various movements and organizations that stand on the positions of the restoration and development of Russian statehood. We stand for the priority of national and public interests. Wherein Russian Noble Assembly is open to cooperation with all forces, all state, political and public organizations aiming to promote the revival, strengthening, prosperity and greatness of the Russian State and the territories of the historical Russian State, the prosperity and prosperity of our peoples. Unacceptable for Russian Noble Assembly, for our cooperation are only totalitarian organizations and parties adhering to the atheist ideology, participation in whose activities we consider incompatible with membership in.

1.12. We believe that people of duty and honor of all strata of society, relying on the experience of national history, creatively assessing the multivariate possibilities of the present and the future, are able to make a significant contribution, and, perhaps, play a decisive role in the revival of the Fatherland.

In this activity, we are guided by the provisions set forth in the following sections of our Concept.

2. PRIORITY OF MORALITY AND SPIRITUALITY

2.1. "A political fortress is strong only when it rests on moral strength ...", - said V.O. Klyuchevsky. Only the unity of state and moral principles allowed our state, from ancient times to modern history, to overcome the most serious crises when such unity was violated. However, several generations of our compatriots grew up in conditions of propaganda of distorted Russian history, ignorance of the principles of education and effective development of a multinational, multi-structured and multi-confessional state, which was our Russia.

2.2. Our finding of truth is not a search for abstract intellectual truth and, moreover, not an empty copying of a foreign scheme, but a search for truth as a path in life, a combination of truth-truth with truth-justice.

2.3. We are convinced that the prosperity and greatness of our Fatherland is possible only on the path of moral revival and the establishment in society of the priorities of Russia's traditional spiritual, moral and cultural values, spiritual and religious education.

We believe that Faith is a guarantee of morality and moral principles, predictability of behavior and stability of people's existence. Modern traditionalists, and indeed all citizens who sincerely care for the welfare of their Fatherland, regardless of their current state affiliation and nationality, need to adopt, preserve and re-feel in themselves the depth of the Faith of our ancestors, their benevolence, forgiving love, respect for traditions, stability , family, homeland.

At the same time, we state that despite the difficult period experienced by our country in the 20th century, most of the members of our noble union were brought up in the spirit of respect for the Faith of their ancestors.

2.4. The Russian nobility has historically developed as a multinational and multi-confessional estate corporation, and Russian Noble Assembly respects the confession of the Faith of their ancestors by the members of our organization.

We consider unacceptable only militant atheism and belonging to extremist and totalitarian sects. The propaganda of fighting against God, offending the feelings of the majority of members of our noble union, is incompatible with membership in Russian Noble Assembly.

2.5. Respecting all religions of the peoples of Russia (Christianity, Islam and other confessions), the Russian Noble Assembly emphasizes the special role of the Russian Orthodox Church in the centuries-old history of our Fatherland and the enduring importance of Christian values ​​in the revival of the Russian state. Orthodoxy, as the confession of the bulk of the Russian population, has always been the spiritual source that nourished the Russian statehood.

The Russian Orthodox Church is for Russian Noble Assembly the main and immutable moral arbiter.

2.6. Therefore, in the revival of the Faith and, first of all, Orthodoxy, we see the most important element of the spiritual revival of Russia.

In the name of this, we consider it necessary:

• to provide the Church with the opportunity to take the proper authoritative place in society and the state;
• return the churches and all the remaining property to the Church, which she owned before the Bolshevik coup, taking into account their museum value and preservation;
• render all possible assistance in the restoration of churches and shrines of all confessions;
• introduce the teaching of the basics of spiritual (religious) knowledge and the study of religions prevailing on the territory of our country in general educational institutions;
• to restore the institution of military priests;
• give an unambiguous assessment of the atheist totalitarian regime and eliminate the attributes of veneration and symbolism of the enemies of the Russian statehood and faith;
• to return the previous names to unworthily renamed cities, streets, other geographical and other objects;
• to perpetuate the memory of the fighters for Russian statehood and the Faith, who opposed the totalitarian regime and suffered from it;
• to develop and implement a comprehensive program for the preservation and restoration of the country's national cultural and historical heritage;
• to develop a methodology for the spiritual education of children and youth in the spirit of the truth about historical Russia;
• carry out relevant publishing activities.

2.7. In general, the most important and priority task for Russian Noble Assembly there must be the development of fruitful cooperation with the Russian Orthodox Church and the provision of all-round assistance and support to her in her great saving mission. The Russian Noble Assembly sees its special role in strengthening the unity of the Russian Orthodox Church and overcoming the consequences of the tragic rift that divided the Russian world into "metropolis" and "abroad"

2.8. All possible assistance in the upbringing of a new highly moral generation of Russian citizens should become the most important area of ​​activity of modern Russian Noble Assembly... This upbringing should harmoniously combine enlightened patriotism, Faith, respect for historical Russia, and citizenship.

2.9. With our life, appearance, deeds, we must return to the public consciousness of Russians the images of a nobleman and a citizen, worthy of imitation, especially in matters of nobility, honor, duty, broad education, impeccable upbringing, civic and human dignity.

3. LEGITIMITY

3.1. The revival of Russia is unthinkable without a return to the forcibly interrupted legal tradition and legitimacy, outside the continuity of more than a thousand years of Russian statehood. Based on this, Russian Noble Assembly proposes to introduce into the Constitution of Russia a provision stating that Russia (Russian Federation) is the legal successor not only of the USSR, but also of the Russian Empire. The Russian Noble Assembly proposes to introduce into the Russian Constitution an article calling for voluntary and peaceful reunification of the peoples of the Russian Empire and the USSR.

3.2. The February Revolution and the Bolshevik coup of 1917 were the greatest catastrophe for Russia. As a result, the power in the country ended up in the hands of the enemies of the Russian statehood, which led to the destruction of the historical Russian State. No matter what changes the totalitarian regime established by the communists underwent in the future, it always remained inherently anti-Russian, since its existence was based on class misanthropic principles, directly opposite to those on which Russia stood. Hostility towards historical Russia was the cornerstone of his ideological concept.

3.3. Russian Noble Assembly proceeds from the historical experience of the twentieth century, which indicates that the legitimate and legitimate development of states is possible in a political system dominated by non-extremist political parties. The natural, historically emerging core of such a system, a consolidating force and banner that is so necessary for such a multinational and multi-confessional country like Russia, is called upon to become a legitimate hereditary monarchy, capable of adequately and for the long term to ensure and symbolize the national unity of the state. AND Russian Noble Assembly offers our society just such a form of nationwide consolidation.

3.4. We believe that the restoration of the monarchy in Russia would best meet the interests of the country and the peoples inhabiting it, since:

• monarchy is the legacy and result of the country's centuries-old historical development, the embodiment of the deep foundations of national consciousness, it is not identified with the state regime of any particular historical era and can now become the same life-giving source of state existence, which it was in Kiev, Moscow and St. Petersburg;
• alien to narrow-political, social, professional, national and other predilections, the authority of the Supreme Power of the Monarch can become a force that ensures the prosperity and development of free and healthy political thought, reflecting the aspirations of Russians striving to return their homeland to its original creative path;
• the hereditary and therefore independent and incorruptible Supreme Power of the Monarch is capable of being a force morally uniting the country and serving as a guarantor of the protection of the national interests of its peoples;
• monarchy is a reliable alternative to any form of totalitarian regime;
• possessing popular confidence, the Monarch as the supreme Arbiter, Conscience and Symbol of the state is compatible with any form of administrative, social and economic system that recognizes private property and universal human moral principles.

3.5. Wherein Russian Noble Assembly realizes that the restoration of the monarchy in our country must take place in a non-violent way, upon reaching the proper level of churching of the people, with the blessing of the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church and with the consent of the majority of Russian society.

3.6. However, regardless of these conditions, the legitimate Russian Imperial House, the Head and Members of which, being citizens of the Russian Federation, are still forced to permanently reside abroad, must be recognized as a historical institution that made an invaluable contribution to the creation, strengthening, development and greatness of the Russian State.

At the state level (by decree of the President of Russia, by a law adopted by the Federal Assembly of Russia or in another way), the official Status of the Russian Imperial House should be adopted, allowing the Members of the Imperial Dynasty of Romanovs not only to live with dignity in Russia, but also to symbolize continuity with a long history, contributing to the maintenance of social , religious and national peace in modern Russia, the preservation of a single civilizational and cultural space of all peoples of the historical Russian State, making an important contribution to the revival of the spiritual foundations of society, the development of culture and art, the preservation of natural resources, the improvement of the institutions of the rule of law and civil society.

3.7. For the most Russian Noble Assembly the legitimate Head of the Russian Imperial House is the Source of Honor.

Outside of service to the Russian Imperial House, outside of the Imperial homophorion of the Head of the Russian Imperial House, over the Russian nobility itself, which has historically always been an open estate, loses its meaning and perspective of its existence, since it itself does not have the rights of annulment, incorporation of new members into the noble community, approval of coats of arms , the final approval of rights related to nobility, etc.

3.8. Russian Noble Assembly corporate public organization and does not require from its members uniform political, including monarchical views, a single ideological commitment. However, persons joining the Russian Nobility Assembly must respect the recognized Russian Noble Assembly Head and Members of the Russian Imperial House. Disrespectful attitude, offensive statements in relation to the Head and Members of the Russian Imperial House are incompatible with membership in Russian Noble Assembly.

3.9. Serving the Russian Imperial House, assistance in its activities, all possible assistance to the integration of the Russian Imperial House into the life of modern Russia are the most important and priority tasks. Russian Noble Assembly.

4. STATE UNITY

4.1. Historical Russia was not an accidental mechanical unification of peoples and territories, but a naturally formed integral cultural and political organism that developed within the framework of objectively necessary geographical boundaries. Russia has never known national oppression, the numerous peoples inhabiting it had the opportunity to preserve their identity and develop their national culture.

4.2. The dismemberment of Russia according to the national principle, carried out by the Bolsheviks, into union and autonomous republics and the establishment of artificial borders along the living body of the country were aimed at destroying its historically established unity and ultimately led to its current disintegration into a dozen independent states.

4.3. Russian Noble Assembly recognizes the newly independent states as an existing reality, is ready to communicate and cooperate with their state and public structures on the basis of respect, compliance with international law and diplomatic rules, as well as the national legislation of these states.

4.4. However, we consider such disunity and isolation to be a temporary phenomenon and disadvantageous in economic, socio-political, cultural relations for the vast majority of citizens living on the territory of historical Russia, which does not meet the long-term interests of the fraternal peoples.

4.5. Proceeding from this, we consider it correct and logical in the future to restore, in one form or another, the state unity of the territories and peoples of the historical Russian State. In doing so, we take into account the following circumstances:

• the peoples of historical multinational Russia, being under Russian cultural and political influence, before the revolution, developed harmoniously in all directions and were loyal to the Supreme Power; as the economic, spiritual and moral revival of Russia progresses, one can count on the restoration of such loyalty and trust;
• the state-political isolation of a number of territories of historical Russia, hastily proclaimed by their political leaders and national radical forces, inevitably led to the disruption of the most important economic ties and a decrease in the living standards of the population;
• the high historical, economic and cultural connectivity of the territories of historical Russia, the widespread settlement of various peoples and nationalities in all its regions makes us see in the continuation of integration processes the pillar direction of the development of a single statehood of all peoples of historical Russia.

4.6. We believe and emphasize that the state, interstate or supranational unity we proclaim must be achieved peacefully, on the basis of the voluntary consent of all subjects of the unification process, as a community of peoples closely united by a single history and economy.

4.7. Wherein Russian Noble Assembly opposes the unification and uniformity of national regions, for the principle of their originality, plurality of ways, diversity of ethnic groups, confessions.

4.8. The task of the regional Nobility Assemblies, revived or formed in the newly independent states of the Near Abroad and included in a single Russian Noble Assembly- by their own example, using the methods of "people's diplomacy" to demonstrate their interest in broad interaction with the public structures of other independent countries that were previously part of a single state, proving the possibility and advantages of unity.

4.9. In any conditions Russian Noble Assembly will provide all possible moral support to the Russian and Russian-speaking communities, wherever they are. We are ready to act as mediators and arbitrators in various interethnic conflict situations, defending the principles of unity, opposing any signs of national, religious, linguistic and other discrimination.

5. LEGAL STRUCTURE

5.1. The arbitrariness of the totalitarian regime and its heirs must be replaced by a solid government firmly based on laws binding on all legal entities and individuals, regardless of their affiliation with the political circles in power at the moment.

At the same time, on the basis of universal consent, a smooth, without interethnic and social confrontations, a real transition to a full-fledged civil law-governed state should be ensured.

5.2. The triumph and universality of the execution of the law must be ensured by a strong executive branch with direct subordination of all subordinate structures to it vertically. In advocating the establishment of a strong state power, we proceed from the premise that such power should be a triumph of law and serve as protection against any arbitrariness.

5.3. We are supporters of the consistent implementation of political reforms and freedoms, first proclaimed in Russia by Emperor Alexander II and developed by his Son and Grandson.

5.4. At the same time, without denying the importance of building a civil society in the country, we affirm that rights and freedoms without responsibilities, not supported by a moral imperative, a sense of duty and responsibility, will sooner or later inevitably lead the world to a spiritual and then material crisis, as already more than once in history.

5.5. In the field of local government, the proven experience of zemstvos at different levels should be actively used.

5.6. The country's Armed Forces should be built on the basis of the traditions of the Russian Army and Navy, with the restoration of their attributes and symbols, the return of historical names to military units, ships, etc. Russian Noble Assembly intends to continue to actively cooperate with the Armed Forces.

5.7. In the field of legal proceedings, it is necessary to develop the best principles and traditions of the judicial system that existed in Russia.

Strict and real execution of court decisions by both private individuals and state structures and bodies must be achieved, up to criminal liability for non-execution; ensured real independence of judges from local and federal authorities, including economic and domestic independence, while reporting in accordance with the law.

5.8. In the field of education and training of new generations, all the achievements of the classical education system should be restored, taking into account modern experience.

Russian Noble Assembly considers itself entitled to create its own certified training system.

5.9. We proclaim traditionalism, stability and harmony as the main qualities of the rule of law and consider it necessary to end discrimination in the legal rights of citizens of historical Russia.

All representatives of the first Russian emigration who were forced to leave the country, and their descendants should be recognized in Russian citizenship by a single legal act, regardless of whether they submitted any petitions or applications, only by the fact that they themselves or their ancestors belonged to Russian citizenship before 1917. To take advantage of this act or not will remain the right of each such representative of the Russian Diaspora.

Ways to compensate all persons who suffered from totalitarianism, especially in the first years of the Bolshevik regime, must be found, the documents of the repressive bodies concerning them must be made public, and burial places must be established.

5.10. In the field of mass media, equal opportunities should be unswervingly ensured for all social and political movements that recognize legal norms of activity. Russian Noble Assembly At the same time, he will seek appropriate opportunities for the dissemination of his ideas and his vision of the further development of the state.

6. ECONOMIC FREEDOM

6.1. We proceed from the premise that property rights are sacred and inviolable. Outside of this principle, building an efficient economy is impossible. Economic freedom and freedom of entrepreneurial activity are the main conditions for the effective development of the country's economy.

6.2. All types of property, including state, corporate (in particular, joint-stock companies), collective (in the form of community property, or "peace" common in Russia), or private, must enjoy equal respect and the same protection of the law. The creation of a diversified free economy is in the best interests of the economic revival of Russia.

6.3. At the same time, state control over the most significant, from the state point of view, industries, primarily defense enterprises, land use and subsoil exploitation, should be preserved.

6.4. The most important condition for the economic upsurge of Russia is the revival among Russian industrialists and all citizens of labor morality, the skills of responsible work, which pre-revolutionary Russia possessed in all its estates.

6.5. The key to the success of any activity can only be the correct balance of tradition and innovation. Any transformations carried out, whether political, economic or social, should not interrupt the continuity of the relationship between Russian society and Russian civilization with age-old national spiritual and moral foundations and traditional way of life for the sake of artificial implantation of foreign orders.
