Decolonization of Russia as a scenario for ending the war
To do this, we need to abandon the myths that Russia has long imposed on the West, and this means recognizing our own mistakes
The European Parliament's study shows exactly the same groups of scenarios for Russia as our study. The difference is that they do not see a way out - because it is impossible to choose between three terrible alternatives: an aggressive nuclear totalitarian regime, a bloody collapse of civil war, and an uncontrollable disintegration with unknown consequences.
“There is indeed an alternative: the controlled decolonization of Russia. But this requires abandoning the myths that Russia has long imposed on the West, which means recognizing our own mistakes”
There is indeed an alternative: the controlled decolonization of Russia. But this requires abandoning the myths that Russia has been imposing on the West for a long time, and this means admitting our own mistakes. It is difficult for Western politicians and diplomats to do so. But it is necessary, because time is running out: if the empire collapses before anyone is ready (and American analysts are already writing about this), no one will be happy.
