The sheer size of Russia combined with hyper centralization in Moscow is not sustainable. Russian Federation is RSFSR left intact with its borders and regional partition. Crushing …

This should be the top comment. As a Russian myself I totally agree. The USSR should've been broken up until a number of sustainably small republics left. Let Islamic regions go th…

Yet it is still valid for their strategy during the invasion of Ukraine. They don’t need sophisticated weaponry or artillery. Just a slow push until the opponent is exhausted. Loss…

Yes Polish people have shown a lot of resilience and deserve great respect in this situation. Batlic states as well of course. Hope they won’t allow Germany sweep Ukraine under the…

Most of the country was miserable, malnourished and in poverty for years anyway. It’s not like Putin’s elites care. It’s basically a serfdom. As long as people obey, and Putin’s cl…
