Post-Russia Forum in Japan: a call for change amid Russian setbacks

The forum provides a platform for regional movement leaders and representatives of indigenous peoples of Russia, aiming for a peaceful reconstruction of Russia. Their vision includes de-imperialization, decolonization, denazification, demilitarization, and denuclearization of the modern Russian state. The ultimate goal is the collapse of the empire that is currently at war with Ukraine.

According to the article, the forum's leaders emphasize that the time has come for the final dismantling of Russia's last colonial empire. With a failed war in Ukraine, internal elite conflicts, an aborted rebellion, and weakened leadership under Putin, the Russian Federation faces potential implosion. This situation may lead some republics to consider secession from Russia.

Russia faces an implosion, weakened by a failed war and internal conflicts

According to the Free Nations of Post-Russia Forum, regions such as Caucasus, Siberia, the Urals, Kuban, Bashkiria, Yakutia, Tatarstan, Udmurtia, and others have the right to self-determination and the possibility of forming sovereign and independent states.

The Tokyo meeting signifies the world leaders' support for those oppressed by Moscow. The organizers stress the rights of these people to independence and prosperity, free from the current colonial exploitation by the Kremlin.

Furthermore, Japan has a stake in the forum as Russia's military actions in the region raise concerns. A recent Russian-Chinese naval exercise, "North/Interaction 2023," demonstrated military force in the Sea of Japan, worrying the West about potential aggression towards Japan due to historical territorial disputes, the article notes.
