ionelvDr Jekyll regularly injects himself with a homeopathic serum that smooths out his true fractured nature. He harks to the siren song of an improbable and very distant past and exaggerates his accomplishments fighting empires or biding his time paying them tribute, but somehow endured mostly unscathed and whole.
On the other hand, Mr Hyde is its repressed slavic, bent knee, nomadic and multiethnic substratum. Mr Hyde has always cut and run when things got tough, has stabbed his brother and neighbour in the back to save his own hide, or more frequently ate his neighbour’s sheep when he was hungry, while proudly wearing and using a cross as his heavenly dispensation.
Until Dr Jekyll fully owns and atones for his Mr Hyde persona, he can’t move forward and will forever be stuck in the fog of his whitewashed past. Its true multiethnic self alone is a guiding light that will bring it closer to the rest of humanity and towards a brighter future, more so than as an imagined distant and poor cousin of nobler and more historied Western nations. Until then it, will unconsciously and invariably tack Eastward as it always did and will repeatedly keep doing it until it will eventually wake up from its millennial slumber and accept his true complex nature (instead of a manufactured imaginary one).
