2025/2026: Everything heads toward Leviathan's demise

The coming year is born as a twin of the one that fades away. It may happen that we'll later confuse them. "When did this happen? When did it begin, when did it end?" No one will know

War has given years wings, and they rush through us in a flock. They touch us: you blink, and already there are new people, a different horizon, children—no longer children.

The once-great empire is now ruled by savages, greedy for gold and false honors. For a whole year Russia deceived the savages, stringing promise upon promise. For a whole year the entire world ignored the war and listened to conversations. What comes next will be the same.

Instead of studying this futuristic war, in which a new reality emerges, instead of becoming experts in copters and ground drones, in communication protocols and network architecture—an army of journalists and commentators around the world watches the savages' mouths, obsesses over their every foolish word, searches for deep meanings in it. As if negotiations matter.

But it's actually very simple. They are savages.

I've always been amazed at how in the same U.S., terrible savagery coexisted with such wonderful flourishing of technology, law, and finance. Remarkably, literally behind the fences of the best and wealthiest universities, homeless people rummaged around in quantities unheard of for us. People who were poorly educated by our standards somehow managed to rule the world's smartest elite. 

But now, it seems, the savagery has finally broken through the weakened fences.

How good it is that we've almost learned to get by without them.

Everything is very simple. Putin lost touch with reality long ago. Everything is much worse than we can imagine. His true state breaks through when he stubbornly repeats lies about Kupiansk. And the entire Russian system works for the lie, the entire country lives and breathes this lie.

Does such a clouded person control the processes in his country? Does he make conscious decisions? Of course not. That's why he'll push his troops forward, waste money, and his officials will run around to finance all the illusions.

"The best tool for predicting Putin is Dugin's beard, which with all its fibers is attuned to the sovereign's madness, senses its slightest nuances, and translates them into words quite understandable to us. It's all written there. Dugin has never been wrong."

And everything is heading toward the Leviathan's demise.
