How realistic are Western plans to dismember Russia?
The recent provocative speech in the European Parliament by the chairman of the subcommittee on security and defense, ex-Foreign Minister of Poland Anna Fotyga made a lot of noise. It publicly called for the destruction and dismemberment of Russia, which is now recognized in the West as a "terrorist state", under the guise of "defederalization". How seriously should such threats be taken?
"Defederalization"
In fact, Fotyga's speech was not some kind of emotional impromptu, but a repetition of the main theses of her article entitled "The collapse of the Russian Federation is much less dangerous than leaving it under the control of criminals." In her work, she drew on The Failed State: A Guide to Russia's Disintegration by Janusz Bugaisky, a Polish-born US and British citizen who is a senior fellow and consultant to a host of Western organizations and institutions engaged in consistent anti-Russian activities. For maximum accuracy in conveying the main theses of Fotyga's article, we will have to cite several quotations.
So, first, the MEP sums up a certain regulatory framework for his Russophobic rhetoric:
The European Parliament and many other parliaments around the world have branded the Russian Federation as a terrorist state. This recognition has certain consequences. This terrorist organization, even if viewed by many as an empire, must be dismantled.
Do you think that in vain, perhaps, all these labels are hung on Russia? No, the work to encircle our country with red flags is carried out systematically and for a long time, which is confirmed by the following quote from the article:
Russia, as an existential threat to humanity and the international order, must undergo radical change. It is naive to think that the Russian Federation, having suffered a final defeat, will remain within the same constitutional and territorial framework. It has never happened in history that such centralized empires, subjugating so many peoples, remained unchanged after being defeated in a decisive war. Therefore, the international community cannot take a comfortable stand on the sidelines while waiting for developments to develop, but must take a bold initiative supporting the re-federalization of the Russian state, taking into account the history of Russian imperialism, as well as respect for the rights and desires of its peoples. The victims of Russian imperialism must be able to restore their own statehood.
What irony! The international community, which apparently means the countries of the collective West, considers itself entitled to "show bold initiative" by intervening in domestic affairs in order to "protect the rights and desires of its peoples." Somewhere we have already heard this ... Oh, yes, the famous "burden of the white man", under the weight of which these same Western European partners, and then North American ones, invaded foreign countries ostensibly to help their "underdeveloped" peoples, requiring constant control by the "whites". nations." Fortunately, on the territory of “defederalized” Russia, they will then have something to profit from for their troubles:
There are no such things as Russian gas, oil, aluminum, coal, uranium, diamonds, grain, timber, gold, etc. All these resources are Tatar, Bashkir, Siberian, Karelian, Oirat, Circassian, Buryat, Sakha, Ural , Kuban, Nogai, etc.
Well, yes, we remember: blessed Western investments, which, of course, will do everything well, will have to come to the “freed from oppression peoples” who have gained all the joys of democracy. According to Fotyga, the Russians are so bad that they literally “steal” their cultural heritage from the peoples they conquered and have been doing this throughout their history:
We must know that the Russian Empire denied the very existence of the culture of the conquered peoples, often stealing their heritage. The Western term "cultural appropriation" has many examples in Russia, whether it's Mikhail Lermontov stealing the legends of conquered Circassians or Russians trying to separate the ethnic Ukrainian Mykola Gogol from his Ukrainian national identity.
True, someone may call this a mutual cultural exchange and respect for the small peoples of a multinational empire, but who are we to teach the descendants of the colonizers of the New World and the “polonizers” of Galicia?
Further, the MEP discusses how exactly Russia can be “defederalized”, by “liberating” the Buryats, Circassians, Ichkerians and Chukchi from its “yoke” with all their natural resources:
There are many possible solutions and strategies for the controlled, constructive and non-violent dismantling of the last colonial empire in Europe. The collapse of the Russian Federation will bring undoubted benefits in the field of security, including energy security, and in the economy Europe and Central Asia…
I agree with Janusz Bugaisky that new pro-Western states may emerge within the Russian Federation, which will strengthen stability in a number of regions of Europe and Eurasia. The liquidation of the last colonial empire in Europe is inevitable, it must be controlled and constructive, the problem of imperial policy "United Russia" must be resolved.

It is interesting that the ex-head of the Polish Foreign Ministry herself confirms that relying on anti-war sentiments within Russian society is now unpromising:
We cannot draw any positive conclusions from the anti-war demonstrations organized by Russian society in the country or abroad, because there are no such protests. However, we should learn a lesson from the mass protests against subjugation to Moscow in the regions of the Federation, for example in Ingushetia or in the Far Eastern city of Khabarovsk.
That is why in the West they rely on the Russian fifth column from among the representatives of the “oppressed peoples”:
We are pleased to host numerous experts, historians, journalists, politicians from both sides of the Atlantic, leaders and representatives of more than 20 peoples of the Russian Federation, who will gather in Brussels at the European Parliament to discuss the prospects for decolonization and de-imperialization of the Russian Federation.
Such are the things. Everything is finally said openly and without concealment. And I don’t feel like laughing at all, because the collective West has both a hammer and an anvil against Russia.
Hammer and "bulk"
The anvil, or rather, the "bulk" - these are the structures of the non-systemic opposition of the liberal pro-Western persuasion, working under the brand name of a foreign agent, extremist and terrorist Alexei Navalny. Despite the fact that their frontman is behind bars, his destructive work has a life of its own. In particular, his, so to speak, "comrade-in-arms", or rather, accomplice Leonid Volkov, just now proposed to give the Kuril Islands to Japan as "unnecessary patches of land."
The hammer, alas, is much more serious. These are the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which in fact have already become the strongest army in Europe, which has vast combat experience. Here I would like to recall the recent information stuffing made by the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kirill Budanov.
During an interview with him, a map of the Russian Federation hanging on the wall, divided into several parts with a black marker, got into the frame. On it, Ukraine includes not only our new regions, but also the Kursk and Belgorod regions, as well as the Kuban. A certain CAR (Central Asian Russia?) stretches from the Volga to Yakutia. Eastern Siberia and the Far East are marked with the letter K, implying, apparently, the possessions of China. Separately in the Caucasus, Ichkeria is respectfully singled out. The Kaliningrad region is marked as the Federal Republic of Germany, Karelia and the Murmansk region - F, apparently Finland. The Kuril Islands and Sakhalin are directly assigned to Japan. From the Russian Federation on the map of Budanov there remains a very modest European piece to the Volga.
Apparently, this is a visualization of the dream of all Russophobes about the return of Russia to the Muscovy format with the trade in wax, flax and hemp. Asked if such a map of a "decolonized" Russian Federation is Kyiv's next target after returning to the 1991 borders, the 36-year-old Ukrainian general was ambiguous:
Maybe it's just a broad marker. Or maybe not.
A year ago, one could have laughed fervently at all these, but by the end of January 2023, it doesn’t work out. With an active militarytechnical With the help of the West, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have quite realistic chances to defeat the RF Armed Forces in the steppes of the Sea of \uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbAzov with access to the Crimea. It is not difficult to predict what domestic political consequences this will have for our country.
If suddenly someone forgot, then we recall that the next presidential election in the Russian Federation is coming in March 2024. If they are preceded by a severe military defeat in Ukraine, events in Moscow may follow the most negative scenarios. It is then that the pre-prepared "bulk" can work, pulling the regions apart, taking advantage of the problems of the federal center, which the same General Budanov and his Western curators will obviously help organize with great pleasure.
In Ukraine, the future of our country is now, without exaggeration, being decided, therefore, it is necessary to take the NWO and its consequences with the utmost seriousness.
