thank you for writing this. I’ll admit I have a hard time believing anything associated with russia but I hope that one day we can work to overcome the distrust and put russia on a path to Democracy.
Thank you for writing this MBK, a good point that there can and must be a multiplicity of views and political ideas in Russia's political future, that is a good thing.
As the former Resident Country Director - Russia, for the International Republican Institute ... it is my opinion that only you can unite the opposition and lead the way forward through the changes which are certain to come. And, you're spot on to prepare for them now. Your Director in NYC (Anastasia) has my Signal #. Or, if you wish, ping me via: summercafe@proton.me
Good & clever very beginning principles to built the collective basics of the rightest alternative Russia may expect in a wishable future. Let's hope it will find and take its strength from its collective, opened, recognized & adhesive dimensions.
Let's wish to all the strengtheners the best (of themselves) to bring : in the interval before transition, then in such an initiative designed to be, first at all, federative. Around a restarting on good basics in Russia
10. This time around don't let all the economic power in the hands of a few oligarchs (like your former self) who will grab political power, put a puppet president they think can control, and will sell out to the first dictator.
You give good insights but this a blind spot too big to ignore.
You are also a paid shill of the West and most likely on CIA/MI6 payrolls if not on Soros personal rolodex.
What you have to say is about as honest as Trump.
I am not some naive supporter of all things Putin, but I also know what people like you are about, and it is hardly altruism or love of country that fuels your positions and reporting.
Very classical review, specially very easy & absolutely doubtless. What would you suggest else, cleverly & constructively, as another way for an emerging alternative ?
You speak like someone wanting to discredit by denigrating very lightly (by mixing - in a confusing aim a bit too much obvious - many independant societal subjects). Let's wish each other to find the righter way as possibly wished can be, bye bye
Perhaps I am tired of virtue signaling sound bite warriors pretending to stand for truth and reason when in fact they are nothing more than greedy, corrupt paid shills promoting ideas and propaganda of their WEF masters?
I was there as a Western economist in the late 90’s. I can tell you the West was not interested in helping Russia, or in any sense of fair play, particularly the Brits. The economic hardship imposed by the West on Russia led directly to the rise of Putin. And, by the way, Russians are far better off under Putin than they were before. Lies! There are lots for sure. The West surely knows this. The difference is: when the West uses lies and propaganda it betrays itself.
What about all the dead Russian soldiers, the dead North Korean soldiers, other foreign soldiers, the wounded Russian and foreign countries soldiers, all of whom who fought for Russia in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine? Are they better off? Are the children of these dead combatants for Russia better off?
Remember this: the West simply cannot win against Russia for one reason - the West is ultimately fighting for money (Hitler’s Germany called it “room to grow”), while Russians are fighting for Russia. The West has over the last two centuries brought so much destruction on Russia that current Russians see a duty to honour the sacrifices of their relatives, including mothers and fathers.
The USA provoked Russia over decades, starting in the 90’s. Some deny this. I say, given US history across the World, who can deny it. American’s have little problem turning their military on their own people. I hardly think they hesitate doing the same to other peoples. History demonstrates this to be true, generally, and specifically wrt Ukraine.
I notice that you are ignoring and not responding to my points about the the deaths and wounds suffered by Russian and foreign nationals fighting for Russia in their invasion of Ukraine.
You imply that current Russians see it as their duty to fight for Russia in its war of aggression against Ukraine. Surely you’re aware that hundreds of thousands of Russians fled Russia after the invasion began. Surely you realize that Russia has had to offer large signing bonuses to induce Russian and foreign men to become soldiers. No doubt you understand that Russian military induction facilities have suffered mysterious arson attacks. You probably also know that military induction boards have been placing pressure on local men to join the military. If the citizenry were so eager to “honor” prior sacrifices this would not be necessary.
I am ignoring you because you are not willing to see the facts and have otherwise bought into Western propaganda. Atrocities all around. Russia’s invasion, illegal - for sure! Russia provoked and threatened - also for sure!

A great and noble Constitution, better than the US version, newer, until United Russia and the Duma watered it down for Putin’s will, correct?
I love this overview of purpose and proposed core actions. This also seems like a great time to be communicating both inside and outside of Russia.
I realize the second thing is much easier said than done.

Eh béh, j'ai senti en toi une source de perte de temps d'entrée de jeu, tu ne m'auras pas décu sur cet aspect.
Bonjour aux Serbes tu donneras, peuple que je connais si peu

Nonsense. The man makes perfect sense.
perhaps to you since you align with the knee jerk ‘anti putin’ camp that lives off of sound bites and talking points.
to me he sounds exactly like a western sponsored, soros foundation shill.
Very classical review, specially very easy & absolutely doubtless. What would you suggest else, cleverly & constructively, as another way for an emerging alternative ?
Alternative to what? To the dystopian future that all of these entities are pushing humanity to?
I don’t know what the answer is.. but is certainly isn’t to simply align with Bitcoin, BlackRock, Soros foundation and all things WEF.
This dude sound like a pure shill, on every level.
Aren't you too depressive, under treatment ?

Love all the free shrinks on the internet.

Enjoy your parade. Think I’ll pass.
WEF ? meaning please, to go further. Freely can be costy, take care
wow.. the shrink doesn’t know what the World Economic Forum is? n’importe quoi..

Analysis to be updated, "far better off under Putin" . For all russians, so sure ? Until when ?
Yes, all Russians. Until the present day.
