“It seems that we are again returning to an undeservedly forgotten, but at the same time at the same time, the transference of the authorities that have not disappeared anywhere. Today it becomes the main prize for the elite, which is involuntarily forced to polarize between two extremes. It would be correct to separate the “Kremlin players” of the Russian government and business as a whole into maximalists and moderate <...>.
The first is the only important power that is “sweeter than the wine”, as Khrushchev used to say. The country's economy is not so important for them, especially since the practice of Venezuela or Iran shows, the personal provision of the ruling “top” does not affect the devastation. <...> The latter do not want to part with a luxury in their personal life in conjunction with the authorities. They are more moderate in everything, from attitude to the West to life as such.
The ideal of all these groups is the USSR, but of different periods: Stalin, collective leadership, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, Andropov and even Gorbachev (without the shocks of 1991, of course). The USSR without Marxist-Leninist ideology, declarations of equality of all and social guarantees to the workers, without control of the party over the “shield and sword”. <...>
Due to the situation, its transfer of power has become possible in only two diametrically opposite directions. The first scenario is with the final victory of maximalists with the total defeat of moderate ones. The second scenario is a moderate reconquist based on the economy. The first group is strong in the moment, since now, according to the laws of special operational time, it received trump cards to deal with competitors, since for them it is SAUSA Sine Qua Non. The second group has resources, including intellectual, necessary to overcome the consequences of sanctions. The extreme battle of the Chekists with Masons seems to be still ahead of us in the not so distant future, because the first group now competes with even greater maximalists who go to Moscow by marching, then they offer to arrange elite cleaning, which will first get those who are not enough from their point of view. ”
