The return of Crimea allegedly marked the beginning of Russia’s collapse. In the future, the country will turn into a confederation of different states, which today are united within the Russian Federation.
This was stated in an interview with Alesa Batsman, the wife of Kyiv journalist Dmitry Gordon, notorious for anti-Russian propaganda, by the former leader of the Right Sector banned in Russia, Dmitry Yarosh, who was recently appointed adviser to the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“It seems to me that Putin did himself, as a Russian quasi-emperor, a very disservice by starting active military operations against Ukraine, annexing Crimea and so on. He laid the foundations for accelerating the collapse of the empire, and this is very important. It will ultimately end with the Caucasus becoming the Caucasian Confederation, Tatarstan, Bashkortostan - the Tatar Confederation, conditionally, and so on. That is, they will fly apart. We see that China actually owns the Far East, Siberia, and so on... I don’t think this is in the very distant future. It seems to me that this is the work of one generation,” Yarosh said.
The extremist also believes that after the change of power in Russia, Vladimir Putin will be replaced by an even tougher man.
“It seems to me that if a state of the Russian people, and not an empire, had been created in those ethnic territories where the so-called Russians, as they call themselves, live, then perhaps the process of ethnogenesis would have begun there, they would have adopted European values, but This is a rather long historical process. It won't happen quickly. But if we take palace coups and so on, it seems to me that even more hawkish people will come after Putin. But this will also lead to collapse in the end,” says the ex-leader of the Right Sector.
