You don't seem to quite understand the concepts you are talking about. Probably because you got them second hand. Russia has no original direction? Technologically, they have already pioneered several new forms of warfare the world is still trying to catch up to (Drones, Hyper-sonic missile technology). Russia and Ukraine have both original political cultures, Russia especially. But that's because it is increasingly cut off from the west. They have their own form of Christianity. And I'm sure Ukraine would also have it, had it been allowed to develop.
Now, as to the Magians, as you may know if you read the book, the Magians still developed handily regardless of Roman interference. A Culture cannot be 'killed' unless it allows itself to or extra-ordinary circumstances appear.
Btw, 'World-Cities' is something that can only occur a few times and Moscow is not it. The World cities would probably be New York, London. Maybe a few more, who knows.
Anyway, it's funny you talk about the Soul and whatever, then proceed to rant about 'degeneracy' like a 95 IQ trad-tard who has never had the misfortune of being immersed in a peasant society. With the exceptions of AIDS and abortion, which didn't exist yet, those are rampant issues anywhere not Civilized. Back in the past, it was Vox Populi that it was far easier to be virtuous in the City than in the Country.
And this fixation on 'Dogenruhsea' also betrays a lack of understanding of Spenglerian concepts. 'Decline' does not mean drug addiction and whatever conservatives in the U.S do not like.
It does not mean that any society not fitting with your idea of a socialist (in the Bismarckian sense, not the common one) paradise is irreversably lost.
As for the Birthrate thing. I don't know what ewill happen. Time will tell, I guess. But everything else you said was stupid.
