>>212972668There will be a power vacuum after putin is gone and a lot of military-trained and military networked russians with their own shit, similar case with ukrainians.
Neither have a taste for liberalism or communism
I can imagine russians creating some gun trade networks, paramilitary organizations and whatnot and the russian state using it for intelligence and logistics in europe (drug traffick, black markets, political bribery, paid violence etc)
A militarized society has more access to actual military resources and by extent creates a population with resources to ascend socially through force
