Russia Can Be Saved In No Way, Its
Collapse Is Inevitable And Unavoidable

The Ukrainian state news agency UNIAN distributed an
article by Kiev analyst Boris Kushniruk about
inevitability of a long-awaited collapse of the bloody
Russian empire. He points out:
"Back in 1999, the KGB brought to power its puppet
Putin. Extremely high oil and gas prices during the
first decade of 2000s gave the KGB government a chance
to raise the living standards of most Russians.
However, total corruption and concentration of major
assets of the country in a very narrow circle of KGB
bosses led to a further stratification of the
population.
The KGB men, by virtue of their unique features, are
unable in principle to create a quality model for
building economy.
They know how to destroy enemy's plans, blow up
buildings, murder and discredit individuals and
corrupt officials in their own and other countries,
making them dependent on the KGB. But they don't know
how to develop an efficient economy.
At the same time, a series of important social
processes took place that will inevitably affect the
development of Russia. Business activity is
increasingly concentrated in large cities, primarily
in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
A large middle class from small-and medium-sized
businesses was formed there, as well as highly
qualified employees of companies and government
agencies.
In the face of declining of electoral support of the
"party of power", led by Putin, and lack of real legal
mechanism for the regime change, there are more
reasons for political instability. Any incident may be
sufficient for a social explosion.
As demonstrated by the events of November-December
2011, it the explosion could happen at any time. And
it is not so important that Putin and his "party of
power" still have a fairly substantial electoral
support. This support is not where it should be and
among those populations, on which the regime lean in
case of the explosion.
As demonstrated by the events in Egypt, sufficiently
powerful and prolonged protests in major cities,
especially in Moscow, could shatter the power that
seemed monolithic and steadfast, and cause its
collapse
Such scenario is taken into account by analytical
centers, including the Russian ones which are linked
to authorities. No wonder that in December, Russian
media published the information that the final
decision on Putin's third presidential term was taken
on the basis of the assessment of a realistic scenario
of political instability. It is clear that Medvedev is
too weak to resist it.
Given the centuries-old tradition, an acute political
crisis in Russia would lead to a powerful uprising.
That is why it was decided in the narrow circle of top
bosses of Russian security services that the power
could be only be preserved by Putin - a more rigorous
leader who is more deeply linked to security services.
However, these assumptions about Putin's ability to
act tough and efficiently may prove to be incorrect.
He joined the Soviet secret police of 1970-1980s - at
a time of their complete moral and intellectual
degradation.
Putin's ratings will only fall from now on. Everything
that used to work as a positive will be treated by
Russian citizens in the future with sarcasm and
irritation. The KGB power will have less and less
legitimacy with every day in the eyes of the Russians.
Most likely, Putin himself is well aware of that, but
he cannot just walk out. Too many participants in this
ruling KGB regime rely on him.
Too much property, which in reality belongs to Putin,
is in the hands of his trustees. Therefore, leaving
the power would mean for Putin a risk of being killed
by his own accomplices, so that the stolen property
remains with them. The price of the issue, according
to both Russian and Western experts, is as much as
tens of billions of US dollars.
Putin has long ceased to be "a galley slave", as he
once called himself. He leads too luxurious life for a
slave in the galley. Putin is the hostage of the KGB
power, which he represents.
This scenario is one of most probable, say many
experts, including the Russian ones".
