Autocracy, Despotism and Democracy, Part 1: Israel, Rome and Constantinople (To 1453) and Autocracy, Despotism and Democracy, Part 2: the Age of Reason (1453-1789) AUTOCRACY, DESPOTISM AND DEMOCRACY An Historical Approach to the Relationship between Orthodoxy and Politics Part 3: THE AGE OF REVOLUTION (1789-1861) Vladimir Moss © Copyright Vladimir Moss, 2013: All Rights Reserved The French monarchy must decline into despotism or become a democracy - two opposite kinds of revolution, but both calamitous. The Princes of the Blood to King Louis XVI. Lo, thy dread Empire, CHAOS! is restor'd; Light dies before thy uncreating word: Thy hand, great Anarch! lets the curtain fall; And Universal Darkness buries All. Alexander Pope, Dunciad. No Monarchy, limited or unlimited, nor any of the old Republics, can possibly be safe as long as this strange, nameless, wild, enthusiastic thing is established in the Centre of Europe. Edmund Burke (1791). The human I, wishing to depend only on itself, not recognising and not accepting any other law besides its own will - in a word, the human I, taking the place of God, - does not, of course, constitute something new among men. But such has it become when raised to the status of a political and social right, and when it strives, by virtue of this right, to rule society. This is the new phenomenon which acquired the name of the French revolution in 1789. F.I. Tiutchev, Russia and the Revolution (1848). The King reigns, but does not govern. Adolphe Thiers (1830). Come to me, Lucifer, Satan, whoever you may be! Devil whom the faith of my fathers contrasted with God and the Church. I will act as spokesman for you and will demand nothing of you. Proudhon, Idée générale de la revolution. Darwin created an entire system according to which life is a struggle for existence, a struggle for the strong against the weak, where those that are conquered are doomed to destruction& This is already the beginning of a bestial philosophy, and those who come to believe in it wouldn't think twice about killing a man, assaulting a woman, or robbing their closest friend - and they would do all this calmly, with a full recognition of their right to commit their crimes. St. Barsanuphius of Optina. The root elements of our Russian life have been characterised long ago, and they are so powerfully and completely expressed by the familiar words: Orthodoxy, Autocracy and Nationality. That is what we must preserve! When these principles become weaker or fail, the Russian people will cease to be Russian. It will then lose its sacred three-coloured flag. Bishop Theophan the Recluse, Letters, VII, p. 289. Contents INTRODUCTION ............................................................................................................6 I.
