Well-known Russian imperialist, journalist, and ROY TV host Maxim Kalashnikov writes:

^ “Russia’s economy is at its limit with the ongoing war. Of course, Dugin and Medinsky can babble about being ready to fight for another 10 or 20 years, but that’s pure nonsense. We don’t have that much time.”

^ “I also hear the delusional statements that soon we will start a war with Europe, that we’ll begin a new nuclear arms race and spend 90 trillion rubles on arsenal modernization.”

^ “There is no chance of that. Our economy has not yet collapsed completely, but it is already breaking apart. The failed blitzkrieg resulted in the Russian Federation being stripped of $1.2 trillion (almost 100 trillion rubles) needed for development, and the war continues to devour resources. Tens of trillions will still be required just to repair the destruction in the annexed regions.”

^ “Very soon, we will face the difficult question of how to finance the security services and state apparatus at least to pre-war levels, or how to avoid delays in pension payments.”

^ “The Russian Federation faces a stormy political upheaval. Economically, the situation is the same as in the USSR in 1985, on the eve of ‘perestroika,’ while politically it resembles February 1917, when the Tsarist regime collapsed.”
