Some arguments and dialectics about Russia.
A. Russia is a normal country… after the dictator, it will be free.
B. But it has became fascist, which is rare. The dictator is a one-time event, no ideology behind that, but how about to question about who was before… So it’s not quite normal. The problem of Russia is not the people as people but the cultural code of the state, this code between people… Cannibalistic essence. The passivity of the political position is the root of the cultural code… growing. Collapse? A complex question. Hard re-education, more like. Distorted concepts of power, non balanced over-saturated ideas of greatness, domination, emptiness, dehumanization, alienation, backwardness, and confusion between west and east. Resentiment after cold war chaos.
Nevertheless, looking at the root, it is evident that the people in Russia are European, not aggressive. After dismantling the existing destructive regime, everything can improve.
However, the ideas of the Russian state from its very beginnings of the Moscow Principality, its victory over the proto-democracy of Novgorod, prolonged internal slavery (serfdom), the victory of bandit-tyrants after the collapse of the monarchy, un-lustrated Hitler – that is, Stalin, the extent of emptiness… Such ideas from the culture of society must be corrected in the most detailed manner to avoid the decay of the essence.
Everything similar leads to one thing – Russia will not be the same. Would small republics rise against Moscow and lawlessness – that’s another question, sooner or later. But if the state itself will become real federation, like USA, then republics may consider to remain. Either if this essence is left to rot for a long time with the support of neighbors, or it will collapse, or be very strongly modified.
Most often, the scenario is slow and boring.
Interesting view. I experienced wealth and simple questions always arise after you got everything… what else, what is next? Luxury…
