I remember this essay being widely cited a few years ago in Russia, as being more and more relevant to the recent changes in our politics.
Now it is becoming more and more relevant to the rest of the world.
Russia: pioneering the world's social change since 1917.

If correct (that is, if populist/proto-fascistic tendencies in modern Russia exist and have something in common with their equivalents in the West), it almost seems to overturn the commonly accepted theory that the rise of dangerous populism in everywhere is mostly due to economic stagnation -- since by comparison, Russia have done quite well in the past decade up until the drop of oil prices.
