“Russian World”

1992-2022

“Russian World”

At a time when Ukraine’s democratic process is gaining momentum, and its political elite is moving toward a progressive West, Russia still can’t get rid of its phantom imperial pain.

The pro-government Russian political elite (formed in Soviet times), and in particular its military component, stubbornly seeks to restore the empire in all its forms. They dream of the USSR resurrection, which is especially beneficial for a limited number of powerful people standing near the so-called “feeder.” In this context, you can see the key reason for all future Russian military interventions. Russia wants to “protect” the rights of the Russian-speaking population, no matter the fact these people live in other countries. The Kremlin’s most outspoken mouthpieces are shouting about a single and indisputable option for ensuring the rights of Russians living outside the Russian Federation – the return of the former republics to common Soviet unity. Thus begins the global march of the “Russian World.”
