70 years ago, the bloodiest of wars had ended. Literally,
the next day the USA started the ruthless Cold war against the
USSR. Goal – to destroy the USSR as political and military enemy.
Ironically, it was the Russian Empire (and the Soviet Union
– its successor) that first in the world recognized the USA as an
independent state. In 1991, the goal was achieved. Russia considered
the cold war over, and the USA a partner in all matters. In
vain. It is no secret the CIA felt home in Russian governmental
buildings. It is no secret that Department of State advisers sat in
every Russian Ministry. Unsurprisingly, imposed reforms have led
to destruction of industry, agriculture, and medicine. The country
was flooded with imports, and Russia has lost the basic security of
state.
Obviously, the same benefactors from the CIA forced the Ministry
of Education and Science to adopt the surrogate instead of the
Soviet system of education. Moreover, the well-wishers perfectly
knew that this surrogate was of very low quality. Introduction of
the American system of education instead of the Soviet one is the
manifestation of the cold war.
Artificial confrontation of computer graphics vs. descriptive
geometry arose. Enforced antagonism resulted in elimination of
teaching descriptive geometry in many areas. Known: computers
and computer graphics come from the USA. Note that geometry
experts do not oppose to the use of computer graphics. More obscure
is the position of some of our partners, when they advocate destruction
of science in favor of a drawing instrument. In this mortal
combat of geeks, the author sees a manifestation of the same cold
war that the United States maintains with Russia. Deduction: it is
so because computer graphics took all its geometric methods of
constructing from descriptive geometry.
Minimal program of overcoming this geometric crisis in higher
education is provided.
