Great question. My answer:
1. Ethnic republics are super vulnerable. Moscow is much more likely to unhinge violence on them, than on Russian Oblasts. And nobody gonna step up
2. From the minority perspective you must be absolutely cracked to help "liberals" to get into power https://t.co/Bc19NYkviq

In Gate of Europe, Plokhy claims that one of the reasons some form of Union State or USSR 2.0 didn't form in the 1990's is that Ukraine refused to join. Without Ukraine, Orthodox Slavs would've been outnumbered by Muslims which Russian leaders couldn't accept.

@kamilkazani Those who point this out speak specifically of the absolutism of the Golden Horde and their predecessors. Not of Asia in general. Did Russia not inherit many of their institutions and attitudes? Fukuyama’s Origin of Political Order makes the case pretty exhaustively.

No. Once the war is over hundreds of thousands of veterans gonna return to Russia. Previously most of them expected 20-30 thousand per month as a private. Now they are used to 200-300 thousand per month salaries. I expect them to be a major factor of the Russian civil war https://t.co/Ma1feDF6nl
