Wild dependence on Moscow. What will break the Russian Federation?
These associations aim to create perfect Russia of the future, but in fact, this situation does not change at all. Video Day Modern Russia is a colonial country, not a federation. Because federations are built on a contractual basis. Moscow is a metropolis today, and all other regions are placed on colonial dependence.
One Russian researcher of federalism rhetorically asked us that we were taught that the Golden Horde was an alien, but she took 10% of tribute from the territories, and today Moscow picks up 60-70%, or even more percent. Then, what is a horde? The regions of the Russian Federation are put in Moscow in wild dependence. Remember the last years of the USSR when it was very popular to feed Moscow.
So today (and this is very pleasant news) such ideas are very often heard not only in national republics, but also in certain territories of large, in particular, in the Far East, in Siberia, in the Urals. I think that this will be the key element that will ruin Russia. Because it is possible to rely only on the power of certain national entities, but the current repressive apparatus in the Russian Federation is capable of stifling any national movement.
Therefore, the element that breaks Russia will be economical. And it is very good that today the whole civilized world goes in this way - the economic collapse of Russia. We do it in the battlefields with weapons, and the West makes it economic methods. I think that the combination of these two factors will eventually give the result when Russia does not become Muscovy.
Finally, it will return to its historical name, and the name of Russia, as the Ukrainian, as the forerunner of Ukraine, will return to its historical homeland. I note that the attitude of the West to Russia began to change. If you look around in the late 1980s-before the collapse of the USSR, then the event had the hope that Mikhail Gorbachev and his new policy would be allowed to transform the USSR into a certain form of democracy.
Remember how Boris Yeltsin was perceived in the early years of Boris Yeltsin - as a new leader who wants a completely different Russia. He was believed. Today there has been a sharp change in the mind of our Western partners. They saw Chechnya, remained silent, then Georgia, silent, then Crimea and Donbas in 2014 - remained silent. And finally in 2022 they understood-these are not some cases, but a trend that threatens their own safety.
That is why the most interesting for me is the transformation of the thinking of the Germans: from total pacifism as I would call, from stupidity, to what we need to defend myself. It should be understood that Russia threatens the safety of Germany itself. Although the topic of Russia's collapse is still perceived in many capital as the capital as a very revolutionary one, it is a matter of time.
