“When studying historical experience, one can find a very similar political-historical cycle. This is the Crimean War. Then the sanctions lasted 15 years, until the West got bogged down in internecine strife, and Gorchakov corrected the isolation of Crimea at the diplomatic level and returned the fleet here. I don’t see any prerequisites for the deadline to be shorter now, despite some technological advances,” Irkhin said during a conference broadcast on the local ForPost website.
He believes that Russia has been permanently subject to Western sanctions since the Russo-Japanese War of 1905, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Russia is accustomed to this regime and is developing even faster under sanctions. We need to use this isolation and create conditions for protectionism. This is a step towards self-sufficiency and a capacious domestic market,” Irkhin said.
