The collapse of the empire is good for the regions. Conversation with Dmitry Chernyshevsky. Issue 38

The guest of the next issue of the Ingria Without Borders program is the famous historian Dmitry Chernyshevsky. In his opinion, Russia for the entire period of its existence remained a sub-empire. Not only the inhabitants of the occupied territories, but also representatives of the notorious “deep people” were in a powerless position. In turn, military victories were achieved in only one way: by multiple superiority in numbers. But the course of history is inexorable. Russia is doomed to collapse. Moreover, this collapse will not be a disaster for the Russians, but a salvation. The regions will no longer be a “food base” for Moscow, and the people living there will no longer be a source of cannon fodder for rulers who have lost their minds and arrange senseless bloody wars.
