Russia should go through German experience of dismemberment
The first thing we have to do is to convince the West that democratization of the Russian Federation is impossible, and we should not repeat the mistake of 1991
Vladimir Putin: "The Russian people... may not survive, there will be Muscovites, Uralites, and others."
That's why Alexei Navalny has become a ‘sandwich’ and is already agreeing to return Crimea (a reference to Navalny's words that 'Crimea is not a sandwich' and it won't be returned to Ukraine in the near future – ed.)
That's why the Munich Security Conference did everything to keep the topic of the collapse of the Russian Federation marginalized.
" ‘Good Russians’ have become more active, frantically looking for ways to convince the West not to kill the empire. And we have to admit that the Russians may succeed – at the moment, their arguments, which are superimposed on the West's long-standing fears, sound convincing"
‘Good Russians’ have become more active, frantically looking for ways to convince the West not to kill the empire.
And we have to admit that the Russians may succeed – at the moment, their arguments, which are superimposed on the West's long-standing fears, sound convincing.
However, nothing is lost for Ukraine and our closest allies, who have the most dramatic experience of coexistence with Moscow.
The game has just begun.
Not only in Yalta, but also in Tehran, they did not know exactly what Germany would look like after the war.
For the Germans, the Marshall Plan, the creation of the Federal Republic of Germany, the EU, and NATO were a set of accidents that worked.

But there could have been another option: the Morgenthau plan, which would have turned Germany into an agrarian, backward state without industry and an army.
Therefore, the first thing we have to do is convince the West that democratization of the Russian Federation is impossible, and we should not repeat the mistake of 1991.
Back then, the United States did not want to hear Richard Nixon or Dick Cheney warn that if the empire was not destroyed, it would be reborn.
“We have to remember these mistakes, because they say about the United States that it will always do the right thing after it has tried all the wrong options”
We have to remember these mistakes, because they say about the United States that it will always do the right thing after it has tried all the wrong options.
To do the right thing this time, this territory must go the way of post-Nazi Germany.
But not through denazification in the form of deputinization, which the Russians themselves will agree to, because it will end in nothing for them (just as the denazification of the Reich proved to be a failure, although this myth is still being cherished).
Russia must go through another German experience: dismemberment.
