Russia is Not a Republic
Aug 23, 2023
Putin has a balancing power between four very powerful groups which rule Russia. Russia is NOT a republic!
The following groups are in Russia:
1. The security forces
Alexander Dugin is an ideologue of the Russian siloviki. He does not have a pass for the Kremlin, but his words are heard very clearly in the circles of the top generals.
2. Civilian Industrial Capital in Russia (Red Directors)
These 2 groups, with Putin’s help, are now in power. A great battle is being waged against them.
3. Exporters of Russian raw materials. They are very proud to feed the risky state budget with their income (Gazprom), raw material feudal lords. They created this neo-feudal atmosphere in Russia, which still cannot be weathered. But now others are in power – the industrial capital.
The dollar miners have an entire ethnic group, they have a moral principle of how to live, that women and children are in France, there are the real estates, there are the bank accounts, there the children study, the women shop there. The father returns to Russia as if on the hunting ground. Putin has always been careful with them.
He always asked them to return their money, to do the so-called nationalization. He can’t hit the table. Putin is still experienced as a balancer, a mediator, as an arbiter most often. To a large extent, the main oligarchs and compradors are also there.
4. The real owners of big financial capital in Russia. These are the people who control the flow of capital. Historical and economic heirs of the so-called Yeltsin’s family. Yumasheva, Tatyana Tyachenko, to 50-60 people. In this group are all the real oligarchs.
From the perspective of the power problem, the war in Ukraine is simply a side effect. This war shows what is happening inside the streets of St. Petersburg or Moscow. Russia is currently the battleground of these 2 powerful groups.
Industrial capital came to power with the help of Putin, but it is constantly being prevented from actually coming to power. The others are smaller but more influential.
Those who are fighting in Ukraine are actually fighting against the oligarchs. No one is more hated in Russia than the oligarchs. Fierce public hatred of oligarchs.
American government has lost public trust. In Russia, this has not yet happened.
Sociological research on the US is disastrous.
The oligarchs are against each other. They are united only against the security forces.
Will industrial capital, which has always been able to get along with American industrial capital, win. That is why the Kremlin preferred Trump, who was fighting a nasty battle with financial capital.
Neither Russian nor American financial capital is like that. They are global financial capitals.
Russia is a kind of battlefield where they hate and destroy each other.
