I even know how to make Russia an ally of the West forever just for $1 million. Compare with $100 billions spent on Iraq

They did both things. Just one detail. Neither Lenin nor Stalin were Russians. Russians (Slavic) lost about 100,000,000 people due to those politics of nonRussian leaders. Today, i know for sure, there are Russians who want to finish this Empire. They are shouting about help. What would you prefer? To drop a nuke and destroy Russia or to give a hand to those Russians who are ready to demolish the Empire from inside once and forever? To those who realize that Russian Empire is a threat to Russians first of all.

But Kremlin is not a Rome and it welcomes the "barbaric hordes" at home. Moscow is not a Russian city anymore. It's all in crime, corruption and multinationalism. Moreover, they give other nationalities green light, but they physically destroy Russian nationalism. So, in theory - may be, but not in Kremlin's practice.

Leo! You mentioned "imperialist xenophobes". There is no such a thing. Some people position themselves as either Imperialists or Xenophobes, but not both together. I will try to explaine why. Imperialists represent Orthodox Church and Kremlin. They are all for multinational society. They do not let Caucasus go, they press down all kinds of Russian national movements. They do not let Russians to have their own national country. Russians are not represented in the Constitution of RF. There is not even a word about nationality that is around 80% of the population. What kind of xenophobes did you find in these groups? Putin's main enemy is Russian nationalism. He keeps saying that there are no Russians, only citizens of RF. Xenophobic waves exist in RF like in any other country. But it has nothing to do with Imperialism.

What do you think of all of that? If West wants to have Russia on its side then it should pay more attention to what is described in the article. American analysts must look closer and start supporting those who are eager to cooperate with West, not losers.

Russians have always been the cement of the empire. The products of the Empire were available to all nations in Tsar's Russia or in the USSR, but not to Russians themselves. They were developing Asia, Caucas, Baltic Republics, but they always were the poorest nation in the Empire. Today budgets of Caucas Republics are 90% sponsored by the state money. I assume that Russia's collapse would be to the advantage of Russian people!

New Russian Nationalists were reading Z.Brzezinski very well. Although not everybody likes him in US, his role in splitting the USSR is tremendous. He is definitely the Grand Chess Master in Empire destruction process. Considering the fact that Putin is reviving the Evil Empire and trying to build new Soviet Union, New Russian Nationalists are allies of the West.
