Decay productivity

Member of our project “After” sociologist Andrei Ignatiev writes:

“ I rattled the forgotten concept of“ dissipative structure ”, the empire is just such a structure, is in an unstable dynamic equilibrium between consolidation and the collapse, as a result of which on its social and geographical periphery continuously reproduces a“ extra person ”: a separatist, an emigrant, a criminal or a sacrifice of ostracism.

The decay of the empire is especially productive time, it is then that influential ethnic limitrophs appear that do not find a place in a new situation (such as the Kurds), as a result of which they become a rather powerful factor in political instability, or huge ethnic diasporas in various countries. ”
