  Just copy/paste text. But overall idea .. "russia is restoring russian world by combining together russian people: greatrussian (russians), small russians (ukranians) and whiterussians... putin took upon himself historic mission of finally solving ukranian question... .. with each year it would have been harder and harder to bring ukraine back to russia... it doesn't means that ukraine as state dissappear but it recharted, restructured and returned to be part of the russian world... etc.. etc.. etc.. see the idea ?

      well... reading article... she is right on spot. kinda same conclusions as I had a few days ago that made me wish to move away of population centers. kinda brings up a phrase that was thrown by some russian official or tv person a few years ago: "what's the need in the world that doesn't have russia in it"

  you are kind of wrong. putin been obsessed for years with loss of russian empire/ussr. after 2014 he started to claim that ukraine is not legitimate state. it's common opinion in russia that ukranians are not really nation, but just "variety" of russians and they do not deserve to have their own state. and that ukraine it's west(anglo-saxon) project in order to destroy russia one extra point: this book is written by somebody who is considered to be putin's guru. wiki article contains summary of the book. go through it and for every bullet point that you find something corresponding in today's reality, get yourself a candy :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics i also found today's interview with author of this book. interview pretty much exactly echoes sentiments of the article (google translate is your friend). https://bloknot-voronezh.ru/news/nikakogo-yanukovicha-2-0-pozvolit-bolshe-ne-mozhem https://bloknot-voronezh.ru/news/nikakogo-yanukovicha-2-0-po... it's not propoganda. it's just batshit crazy people who are obsessed with rebuilding russian empire. is it so hard to believe when we have qanon on display for past few years ?
