The real Russia, which will obviously return the old name of Moscow , will not be bigger than other average states of the world. After the Russian colonies become free one way or another, its territory will return to the borders that the Moscow kingdom had at the time of its appearance in 1547 – a little more than 2.2 million square meters. km of territory where about 65 million people live.
Russia (Moscow), reduced to its natural size, will obviously be in for a socio-economic and psychological shock that will force it to reassess its place in the world and abandon its imperial ambitions. Within the new territorial boundaries, the new state will be forced to import practically the entire amount of gas, oil and oil products it needs. There will also be a shortage of grain and other basic agricultural products.
Cessation of oil and gas revenues will lead to a drastic decrease in financing of military industrial complex enterprises and the armed forces, budget organizations and the service sector. Collapse is waiting for Moscow and probably St. Petersburg and its surroundings, where more than 26 million people currently live.
Having realized the lack of grounds for claims to imperial status, before the threat of socio-economic catastrophe, the country will be forced to embark on the path of real democratic and market reforms, adaptation of all spheres of life to the standards of an average European state. In the new format, Russia will hardly be able to claim the role in European politics played by France or Great Britain, its weight will hardly be comparable even to that of Poland or Spain.
